We use coffee in the example but it could be something else in your life that can make all the difference to how quickly you can pay your house off. Have a look at your daily spending. Something as small as a cup of coffee on the way to work every day can be used to pay your house off faster.
Let's have a look at an example. Joe Soap owns a house and his payment breakdown looks a like this:
Bond Amount |
Interest Rate |
Monthly Payment |
Term (Months) |
Interest |
R500 000 |
12% |
R5 143 |
360 |
R1 349 270 |
Joe buys that cup of coffee on his way to work every day and it costs him R10 per day. Let's assume there are 22 working days in a months. So he is spending R220 per month on that coffee. If Joe refrains from that coffee and takes the R220 and adds it to his bond payment, it would do this:
| Bond Amount | Interest Rate |
Monthly Payment |
Term (Months) |
Interest |
R500 000 |
12% |
R5 363 |
271 |
R951 334 |
It might not look that impressive but let’s take a closer look at what Joe has done. Just by paying that extra R220 into his bond on a monthly basis he has reduced the term of his loan from 360 months to 271. Just by doing that he has cut more than 7 years off his home loan! On top of that he has saved himself R397 936 in interest over the term of the loan.
