Why the balance barely moves

You never miss a repayment. So why does the amount you owe barely go down?

Because a 30-year loan is not a plan. It is a timetable — and in the early years, most of your repayment goes to the bank as interest, not to paying off your home.

You are doing everything you were told to do. Pay on time. Pay a bit extra when you can. Put your tax refund on it in a good year. And still, five or six years in, the number on your statement has hardly moved.

At the same time, there is the offset account nobody showed you how to use properly. The credit card you keep meaning to pay off. The money you pulled back out of your loan for the car, telling yourself you would catch up later.

At the current rate, you'll still be making this repayment in your sixties.

Every holiday, every school fee, every maybe next year gets weighed against a loan that was built to last a very long time.

And the bank will not call you with a faster way out. Interest is not an accident. It is how they make their money.

Where a repayment actually goes

Where each repayment goes on a typical 30-year home loan.

Year 1 ~78% interest
Year 5 ~72% interest
Year 10 ~62% interest
Year 20 ~38% interest
To the bank (interest) To you (principal)
Example only, based on a typical 30-year home loan where you pay both interest and principal. Your own split depends on your rate, balance, loan term and repayment. This is not financial advice.
The whole idea, in one picture

Same repayment. Two very different endings.

The bank's way 30 yrs

You are still paying in your sixties. In the early years, most of each repayment goes to interest, not to paying off your home.

With the right set-up 15 yrs

Same income. Same lifestyle. The only change is where your money goes and when — and small changes early make a big difference later.

Example only, comparing a 30-year loan with a faster payoff. Your own result depends on your loan, your rate, your income and how closely you follow the plan. This is not financial advice.

Estimate only, for general information. It assumes your interest rate stays the same for the whole term and it does not include fees, offset balances, redraws or rate changes. It is not financial advice and not a promise of any result. The workshop shows you how people find the extra repayment without earning more — and every attendee can get a free personalised plan built on their real numbers within 14 days.

There is a faster way

It's about the set-up, not going without.

Crown Money was started in 2004 by Scott Parry for a blunt reason: banks are built to keep you in debt as long as possible, because that's where the profit is. So he built the opposite — a system that uses the money you already earn to pay the loan down faster, while you keep living your life.

It is called the Home Ownership Programme. It works like a personal trainer, but for your money — Crown Money calls it a "cash diet". It is not a budget you will give up on. It is a set-up that keeps working even on the weeks you stop thinking about it.

It has now been run with more than 7,500 Australian families — and on average, another one of them becomes completely mortgage-free every 23 days.

Every Saturday, we teach the heart of it for free. No cost, no catch, no card.

  • Find the spare money you already haveThe cash diet finds money that is quietly slipping away each month, without turning your life into a spreadsheet.
  • Make it automaticEvery dollar gets a job on payday. Your progress no longer depends on willpower or remembering.
  • Then put your debt to workDebt recycling and a plan for income you do not have to work for — for once the mortgage is no longer the whole story.

The workshop

What you'll walk away with in two hours

Real mechanics, in plain English, with the numbers shown on screen. This is the same material Crown Money clients pay to implement — the teaching part is free.

Module 01

Why your loan set-up beats a lower rate

How the way your home loan, offset and everyday accounts are arranged changes the date you finish paying — without changing what you earn or how you live. Almost nobody gets shown this.

Module 02 · Most requested

Debt recycling, explained simply

What it really means: slowly turning your home loan (where you get no tax break) into a loan that buys things which earn you money (where you often do). We cover the order the steps must happen in, who it suits, and — honestly — the risks that make it wrong for some people.

Module 03

The cash diet

How to find real spare money inside the income you already earn. Not a budget with 40 categories that you give up on in three weeks — something your household can actually stick to.

Module 04

Automating your money

Set it up once, so every dollar has a job the moment it arrives. Savings, a safety buffer and extra loan repayments all happen on payday, whether you think about it or not.

Module 05

Your passive income plan

The steps that take you from paying off your home to having money coming in without you working for it — and why doing these steps in the wrong order costs you years.

Module 06 · The second hour

Your own numbers, live

A full hour of open questions. Bring your loan balance, your interest rate and your set-up, and ask anything. For most people, this is the hour where it all clicks.

How the two hours run

Exactly what happens on the day

No surprises. Your camera stays off, nobody's put on the spot, and you're free to leave after the first hour with the full workshop under your belt.

  1. 10:55am

    Doors open

    Join early, test your audio, say hello in the chat. Cameras stay off the whole time — you're not on display.

  2. 11:00am

    The workshop

    Modules 1 through 5, live, with the numbers on screen. One hour, tightly run, no filler and no pitch.

  3. 12:00pm

    Open Q&A — the full hour

    Ask anything: your structure, your rate, whether debt recycling suits you, what to do about the credit card. Stay as long as it's useful, drop off whenever you like.

  4. 1:00pm

    Close

    We show you how to claim your free personalised payoff plan, and explain how the Home Ownership Programme works for anyone who wants one-on-one help. Both entirely optional — plenty of people just take the information and use it themselves.

Module 02, in a bit more detail

What is debt recycling — and could it work for you?

Debt recycling means slowly turning the debt on your home — the kind that gives you no tax benefit — into debt used to buy investments that earn you money, which in Australia can often give you a tax benefit.

You owe about the same amount, but your money is doing a very different job. Done in the right order, your home loan gets smaller while your investments start to grow underneath it — instead of waiting twenty-five years to start.

Done in the wrong order, or without enough spare money each month, it can go badly wrong. That is why we teach the steps and the safety checks, not just the good news.

Get the full walkthrough — free
1 · Build up real equityPay down your loan so you genuinely own more of your home. Nothing else works without this first step.
2 · Split the loan properlyKeep the investment part separate from the home part, so at tax time you can clearly show what each dollar was used for.
3 · Invest for incomePut that split portion into investments that earn money, chosen to match your timeframe and how much risk you are comfortable with.
4 · Send the returns backThe income and tax benefits go back onto your home loan. Each time round, the cycle speeds up.
The honest version of the risks

Debt recycling means more of your money is invested, and it only works if you reliably have spare money each month. Investments can fall in value, interest rates can rise, and the tax benefit depends on setting the loan up correctly. It genuinely does not suit everyone — we will show you how to tell whether it suits you. This is general information only, not personal advice.

Matthew A., a Crown Money client
The best financial decision I've ever made was having the good fortune to hear about you when I was organising my mortgage. I'm on track to pay off my mortgage now in 10 years instead of 30 just by being on the programme and I can't sing the praises of Crown Money enough.

Matthew A.Crown Money client

Jo and Luke, Crown Money clients
We have been amazed at how quickly we have been paying off the principal of our home loan and wish we engaged Crown Money 8 years ago when we purchased our family home. With our previous mortgage structure, it felt like it was never going to end… The financial freedom we are now feeling is something we thought we wouldn't be experiencing for at least another 15+ years.

Jo & LukeCrown Money clients

Todd and Sarah, Crown Money clients
We were a bit sceptical before joining this program at first and thought it was a little too good to be true. Needless to say, we are so grateful… We have never saved so much and we love having the much-needed support and guidance from Craig and the team.

Being honest with you

Is this workshop actually for you?

We'd rather you skip it than sit through two hours that were never going to help.

Yes — come along if…

  • You own a home in Australia with a mortgage on it — or you're buying in the next year or two.
  • You have a little money left over each month, even a small amount, and you suspect it could be doing more.
  • You are happy to change how your money moves — you just do not want to earn more or live on less to do it.
  • You want to understand debt recycling properly before deciding whether it's for you.
  • You'd rather not decide alone — bring your partner, your parents, a friend. It's free.

Probably give it a miss if…

  • You want to get rich quickly, or you want a tip on the next hot property. This is simple maths and steady habits, and it is slower than that.
  • You're not willing to look honestly at what you actually earn and spend.
  • You want personal financial advice on the call. This is general education — personal strategy happens separately, one-on-one.
  • You're already mortgage-free with a mature investment plan. You'll likely know most of it — though our broking team can still sharpen your rate.
Or, if you'd rather do it yourself

We're mortgage brokers too.

Not everyone wants coaching, and that's completely fine. Some people just want a sharper interest rate and the confidence to run the strategy themselves.

Crown Money has a mortgage broking arm for exactly that — an award-winning, MFAA-accredited broking team who will compare loans from many lenders to find you a good interest rate. There is no requirement to join the Home Ownership Programme at all.

Come to the workshop either way — learn how it works, then decide whether you would rather we guide you through it step by step, or simply get you a better interest rate. Ask us about broking in the questions hour, or just call us.

  • A good rate, compared across many lenders
  • Your loan set up properly from day one
  • Refinance, first home, or investment
  • No need to join the programme
Scott Parry, founder and CEO of Crown Money Management
Who's behind this

"Banks shouldn't keep you in debt."

Scott Parry founded Crown Money in 2004 out of plain frustration. Working in finance, he could see the design clearly enough: the longer a customer stays in debt, the more interest the bank collects. The 30-year term isn't an accident.

So he built the counter-move — a strategy that lets homeowners use their existing income far more effectively, attacking the principal hard while still living the life they actually want. Not austerity. Structure.

Two decades on, Crown Money has grown from a small boutique firm into one of Australia's most awarded money management specialists, with a team of financial strategists, brokers and post-settlement coaches who stay with families for the long haul.

See you on Saturday.Scott Parry — Founder & CEO, Crown Money

Before you register

The questions you're probably thinking right now

Is it really free? What's the catch?

It's genuinely free — no credit card, no obligation, nothing to buy on the call. Crown Money runs this because the fastest way to show Australians that the maths works is to show them the maths. At the end we explain how the Home Ownership Programme works for anyone who wants their own numbers modelled one-on-one. That's optional, and plenty of people simply take the material and use it themselves.

What is the free personalised payoff plan?

Every person who attends a session can request their own written payoff plan, built around their actual loan, and Crown Money sends it within 14 days. It is free, and there is no obligation attached to it. The workshop teaches you the method; the plan shows you what that method looks like applied to your own numbers. Bring your loan balance, interest rate and repayment amount on the day so we can build it accurately.

Can I bring my partner — or anyone else?

Yes, and please do. Your partner, your parents, an adult child, a friend, a neighbour — bring whoever you like, at no cost. Money decisions made by one person in a household almost never stick, so the more of your household in the room the better. You can all watch from the same Zoom link, or register separately if you'd each like your own materials and reminders.

I've tried budgeting before and it didn't last. Why would this be different?

Because this is not budgeting. A budget asks you to remember and resist, every week, forever — which is why budgets fail. The cash diet works on set-up and automation instead: your accounts are arranged so that spare money moves on payday, before you can spend it. You are not being asked to have more willpower. You are being asked to change the set-up once.

What time does it start? Two hours on a Saturday is a lot — is it worth it?

Start times alternate week to week — one Saturday runs 11:00am–1:00pm, the next runs 3:00pm–5:00pm, so there's a slot that suits most weekends. The next session's exact time is shown at the top of this page and in your confirmation email.

On whether it's worth it: put it against the alternative: the difference between a 30-year payoff and a 15-year one is, for most Australian mortgages, a very large number — and years of your life not spent making that repayment. Two hours to understand whether that's available to you is a reasonable trade. And you're welcome to leave once the teaching hour is done.

How do I know this isn't too good to be true?

Healthy scepticism — most of our clients started there too. Four things worth checking: Crown Money has been operating since 2004, it has now helped more than 7,500 Australian families, it's a Full Member of the MFAA (#838012), and it's been named a winner at the Better Business Awards and FBAA awards repeatedly, most recently in 2026. Beyond that, the workshop is free precisely so you can judge the substance yourself before any money or commitment is involved.

What exactly is debt recycling?

Debt recycling means slowly turning your home loan debt, which gives you no tax benefit, into debt used to buy investments that earn you money — which in Australia can often give you a tax benefit. You may end up owing a similar amount overall; what changes is the job each dollar of debt is doing. It does carry real risk: more of your money is invested, it only works if you reliably have spare money each month, investments can fall in value, and the tax benefit depends on setting the loan up correctly. The workshop covers the steps and the safety checks. This is general information, not personal advice.

What if I can't make it live?

Register anyway — you'll get the session details by email, and if something comes up you can come along next Saturday instead at no cost. That said, the second hour is a live Q&A shaped entirely by attendees' own questions, so live is where most of the value sits.

Do I need a Zoom account? Will people see me?

No account needed — just tap the link in your email on a phone, tablet or computer. Your camera and microphone stay off the whole time; nobody can see or hear you. You ask questions by typing in the chat. Bring your current loan balance, interest rate and repayment amount if you can — it makes the Q&A hour far more useful.

I'm terrible with numbers and spreadsheets. Will I keep up?

Yes. There's no jargon and no assumed knowledge, and the whole approach exists precisely because spreadsheet discipline doesn't work for most people. If you can read your loan statement, you'll follow every minute of it.

What about investment properties, or a mortgage that's nearly paid off?

The principles apply to both owner-occupied and investment debt, and debt recycling in particular is aimed at homeowners who want to start building a portfolio. If your mortgage is nearly gone, Modules 5 and 6 — passive income and the investment sequence — are the ones you'll get the most from.

Will I get spammed after this?

You'll get your Zoom link, a couple of reminders so you actually show up, and a follow-up afterwards. That's it. Every email has an unsubscribe link, your details are never sold or shared, and you can read exactly what Crown Money does with them in the Privacy Policy.

What if I just want a better interest rate, not a programme?

Then talk to our broking team. Crown Money is an award-winning, MFAA-accredited mortgage brokerage as well as a money management firm, so if you would rather do it yourself, we can simply compare loans from many lenders and find you a good interest rate — with no requirement to join the Home Ownership Programme. Come to the workshop anyway, learn the mechanics, then ask about broking in the Q&A hour or call 1300 882 981.

Is it a one-off session, or is there ongoing support?

The free workshop runs every single Saturday, and you're welcome at as many as you like. For clients who go on to join the Home Ownership Programme, the support is ongoing and hands-on — Crown Money has a dedicated post-settlement team of financial coaches and client care staff who stay with families for years, not a handover at settlement. The years after you start are the ones that decide the outcome, which is why the hand-holding continues.

Is this financial advice?

No. The workshop is general information and education only. It doesn't take your personal financial situation, objectives or needs into account and doesn't constitute formal financial or personal advice. Consider whether it's appropriate to your own circumstances, and seek professional advice, before acting on anything discussed. Crown Money's Target Market Determinations are available on the main site.

Two hours. No cost. No catch.

Your mortgage-free date is a decision, not a destiny.

Come and see the numbers for yourself. If they work for your situation, you will know exactly what to do next. If they do not, you have spent two hours on a Saturday and come away understanding your own home loan far better.
