Should I pay off my mortgage?

Options
I have recently received a sum of 100k and my mortgage is around 100k, i'm thinking of a few options -

1. Pay off the mortgage.
2. Take out an offset mortgage for 100k and stick my 100k into a saving account and use the interest to pay off the mortgage.

What do you think?

Thanks
Al

  • Whats the rate on your mortgage?

  • My sincere advice is you pay your mortgage right away....
    or atleast pay as much as you can....if u cant use the whole 100k.

    All the best
  • If the mortgage interest and the interest on savign were pretty much the same I would pay 80k off the mortgage and keep 20k in reserve for emergancies!
    Only two big facts are known for certain: you are on a large, spinning rock hurtling through lonely space at about 67,000 mph, and one day your body is going to die. Will a new pair of shoes really help? :p
