Welcome back to another episode of the 360 Money Matters Podcast! In this episode, we tackle one of the most common questions we receive: what's the difference between offset and redraw accounts? While both reduce the interest you pay on your mortgage, understanding the crucial differences could save you significant money down the track. In this episode, we break down how each account works, explain why your repayments stay the same even with money in offset, and reveal the critical tax implications that catch homeowners off guard when their circumstances change. Using real-world examples, we show how choosing redraw over offset can destroy your tax deductibility if you ever convert your home to an investment property. Whether you're a first-time buyer or refinancing, this episode will help you make the right choice for your situation and avoid costly mistakes. - This podcast contains information that is general in nature.

Supreme Court Enables Partisan Gerrymandering: Colleague Richard Epstein discusses the Supreme Court permitting Texas to redraw congressional districts for 2026, favoring Republicans, arguing that lack of oversight allows parties to entrench power, creating extreme polarization where "reds become redder and blues become bluer," making legislative compromise nearly impossible. 1910 SCOTUS
Todd breaks down why Indiana's redistricting fight matters far beyond the Hoosier state. He answers a listener's question about why Indiana “needs” to redraw its congressional map, explains what the Constitution actually says about redistricting, and pushes back on claims that new maps somehow “take away representation.” Todd contrasts traditional Hoosier Democrats with today's radical national Democrat leadership, warns about federal overreach on borders, culture, and spending, and argues that refusing to redraw maps is unilateral political disarmament. He also previews his remarks at the Turning Point Action event at the Indiana Statehouse and encourages listeners to make their voices heard with their state senators.
