Many couples tend to spend their financial resources & time prior to starting a family in travelling and seeing the world. Although this is great from a personal growth and lifestyle point of view, it is important to note that it does have a finanical cost and/or opportunity cost with regards to your long term wealth creation goals. It is important that you find and strike the right balance, if you are not sure what that is, call our office today to arrange a complimentary consultation to gain insight and clarity on your alternative options and opportunity costs.

Home Loan Debt Elimination
 
Many couples tend to move in together or purchase an investment property prior to getting married or starting a family. Some couples also tend to purchase a home where they will plan to raise a family. The idea of paying off your home loan more quickly is very appealing and is used by some mortgage brokers as a method of attracting you to their loans. Essentially, there are only four ways to pay off your home loan much faster (we assume you already know the first two);
 

1. Find a cheaper interest rate (which may or may not exist in today's relatively )

2. Make larger or more regular repayments on your loan.
 

3. Instead of repaying the home, invest the money in higher growth assets (inside or outside of super) which would give you a better return than the cost (interest rate) of your home loan. 
 

4. Make more use out of your existing share holdings.

Substantial savings are only achieved by either making additional payments on your mortgage or investing in higher growth assets, selling them in the future and repaying your home loan with the proceeds (profits). By higher growth assets we mean simply Shares and Property. If you believe that buying your home was a good investment, then why not buy a second, third or fourth property?
