Summary

I spend a lot of time talking about how to create debt for consumers. I do it because I believe that, when done right, debt can be beneficial to all parties involved, like a mortgage that generates wealth for the middle classes through property ownership. But that doesn’t lessen the fact that debt carries a cost, a cost that is now quickly rising. We know that mortgage rates are on the up, because it’s on every other newspaper headline these days, but what’s harder to ascertain is what we can do about that - other than building a time machine to take us back to when houses were cheaper.



Except, there are other ways.



It’s just not in the interest of lenders to make them obvious. Which is why it sometimes takes an outsider to disrupt the status quo. Enter, Jinesh Vohra and Sprive, the app that helps you overpay your monthly mortgage, turning the power of compounding interest in your favour for once.


“Being mortgage free should be achievable for everyone… it really changes your life”



Jinesh posts regularly on LinkedIn and is open to DMs, so follow his account and do reach out if you have questions



As mentioned in the show, your first port of call if you want to check out the app is your friendly local App Store (Apple) or (Android)



If it is just information you’re after, then Sprive’s home page is where it is likely to be https://sprive.com/ And you don’t take their word for it, it seems like every week there’s a new letter in the press, or update online, from a happy customer (~40% of SpriveApp's active user growth was from customer referrals).

But when you're starting from scratch, you're at clean-cheat design.

You have a vision in mind, and it's a smaller team, so decisions are made a lot more quickly.

You now need to pay your lender £1,390 every month.

So at the end of the first month, you hand them your money with a smile on your face.

1:05.9

This is where our maths test arrives.

1:08.1

If you owed the bank £250,000, and then you paid them £1,390, how much do you owe them

1:15.7

now?

1:16.7

Well, what we need to do is work out how much of that payment will go against the principal

owed.
