You can achieve a much better return than that, e.g., 60%plus, with far less risk.

As others have mentoned, you are in a fantatsic financial position at your age- congratulations!

I’m not sure if you have any debts from study but if you do, you could put aside some money to cover those debts. Also, if you want to put aside a small amount for holidays or travel, or future commitments like a new car, you could put this…[Read more]

The interest would be tax deductible if you set up a separate loan (like a line of credit) and use the money to invest in any income producing assest (e.g., shares).

If you just withdraw the money out of your current home loan (say, through a redraw facility) then effectively the interest will not be deductible.

Kind regards,
Jason.

first I think your opening comments are highly offensive, not only to Muslims but to Australians as well.
I am Australian, of English decent and was amazed that you actually had the view that all Muslim’s are violent. Do all italians own deli’s? We all know that there are fruitcakes in every…[Read more]
