Money people and grown ups of the world!

My home loan is currently an offset variable rate one. With a rate rise coming, I was looking at splitting a portion in to a fixed rate account. However, there's every chance that by the end of the year I will have enough in my savings and other accounts to cover the loan completely, if my understanding is correct, which I am never confident about, this should mean I'm paying no interest at all, and therefore there would be no value in splitting the loan?

Does any of that sound correct?

If you will have your mortgage paid off in 6 months you either have a tiny balance or you are expecting a windfall. Either way splitting it or making changes would seem like a massive waste of time.

It won't be paid off, it doesn't have to be paid off for another 17 odd years or so, but the amount in my offset accounts will eclipse the remaining loan total, and fingers crossed I won't be in a net debt position.

I could pay it off in lump potentially, but then I'd be left with like 7 dollars in my savings, which doesn't strike me as clever.

If I was in your position I'd set myself a target for savings, maybe $10k, then pay off the mortgage. I'm no financial guru though

Was thinking something like that as an option. A year or so in the black so I can build up a cushion then wipe it.

You can't get one shed for 50 grand if you're talking building a new one.

But I have no idea how much houses cost in the Yabba dabba doo
Geeze what the shed made of? Silver?

Real estate is bloody expensive here there's a lot going to auction lately I don't reckon sellers are getting much interest at those prices. You should see it.
