    Knowing your loan term can make a huge difference in how much interest you pay, it may not seem like much but 5 years worth of interest on a $500k home loan at an interest rate of 5% is $125k so if you don't pay attention to your loan term, it can cost you almost more than a 'bit of interest' In this episode I take you through what you need to be mindful of both for existing home owners and first home buyers to try to minimise your interests over your loan term and ideally, save as much money as possible.
