I would have thought that seeing that the P+I rate is the same as the IO rate (both with an offset account) at 6.49% then if I went P+I I'd have to be paying more off the debt?

Just finished watching ‘At the Movies’ with Marg and Dave. They reviewed ‘Enron’. Definitely worth a view for anyone interested in investing/economics. Their problem with the film was that they stated that it would have appealed to ‘economists’ because they got lost with some of the doco.

I’ve been looking forward to that film. I’ll be seeing it Friday so I’ll give you my verdict.
Cheers,
