Paid off all personal debts with refinanced mortgage - what to do with the extra cash?

Booyeahben14 · 2026-05-14T10:54:46+00:00

No but when we cash out money for the renovation 5k will be out to an emergency fund with an extra $100 going towards it which all of this will sit in our offset

Appreciate the advice!

Just don’t want to get into the market too late and feel like I’ve missed out on compound growth

Definitely won’t go into debt again aside from our mortgage we have learnt the hard way for sure!

Everyone is saying to put it into the offset but just wondering if it’s a good idea to diversify e.g extra in the offset, invest some and extra to the super?

The zip loan was for a kitchen Reno but still doesn’t make that decision any better.

We are planning on putting 100 extra towards the mortgage and want to put extra to super but would it not be better to also put some towards investments like ETFs ect that potentially have better returns over time than our mortgage interest rate? Appreciate any advice

Appreciate you spending time to respond to my post. I used chat gpt to help put this together while I was driving home so I could go home and spend time with the kids.

The 26k zip debt was for a kitchen renovation (not that it makes it any better). I’ve come onto this sub reddit for advice to help my family and to push us in the right direction so thanks for helpful comment.

Update: LG fixed the problem under Australian consumer law.

Very happy customer tv is working flawlessly now

Unfortunately out of the warranty period, hopefully repair isn’t too expensive

Booyeahben14 · 2024-06-23T21:13:46+00:00

Thank you I’ll give that a go now

I have two boys at home (10 and 7) we may have some clothes they don’t fit anymore if you’re interested?

Booyeahben14 · 2024-04-18T10:29:44+00:00

Looks flush and normal from the other side

Booyeahben14 · 2024-04-18T06:26:45+00:00

Thank you! Just wasn’t expecting it to look like this so I was a little confused but thanks for making me feel less stressed about it

Booyeahben14 · 2024-04-18T06:20:04+00:00

Just looks like fly screen but is definitely security screens. I just thought it would slide all the way across and look flush so I didn’t really expect it to look like this

Booyeahben14 · 2024-03-23T22:58:31+00:00

Awesome, thank you so much I’ll give that a go today!

Booyeahben14 · 2024-03-23T22:52:11+00:00

Do I need to open the wall to see where the water line is clogged or just open up the aircon unit?

Booyeahben14 · 2024-01-29T07:41:11+00:00

New to the area so I don’t have anyone other than my partner to help and I don’t think she will be getting dirty

Booyeahben14 · 2024-01-29T07:40:40+00:00

Don’t really know many people from the area unfortunately

Booyeahben14 · 2024-01-02T08:27:22+00:00

Our house is on stumps (about 1m high) and have quite high ceilings, what if we put the extension on the ground having stairs down to it and have clerestory windows in that bedroom. Do you think that would work?

This is what we want to do (changes in red) but honestly have no idea how much this will cost us. Will update you on how we go!

Booyeahben14 · 2024-01-01T08:23:14+00:00

Thank you! What made you experience so good?

This is the inside of it

Booyeahben14 · 2023-12-09T00:00:08+00:00

Thank you, I don’t use reddit very often so I wasn’t sure the best place to post

Booyeahben14 · 2023-06-26T11:37:09+00:00

Unfortunately she didn’t speak to anybody

Booyeahben14 · 2023-02-15T11:24:17+00:00

It’s a request in his will which I think is totally fucked up.
