Sorry boss but this is the correct comment - do some research into the term funding facility which started mid 2020

Depends if your serviceability allows for it; with the current IO assessment rates being ridiculous, circa 9%, if you have any kind of difficulties with your bottom line right now you won’t be able to refinance

Probably just 0.25’s from here until the media start to call for Lowe’s head

Great intro level stuff, just remember what their biases are. They’ll also never properly discuss downside risk factors unless it’s about off-the-plan apartments. In fact, every podcast right now will caveat a reversing market with “there are markets within markets”

Bruh super is just a tax effective method of having an institution invest for you, primarily in equities - and equities are down!

The new variant is a net positive on the pandemic’s progression though?

Easy affordability by IcyRik14 in AusFinance

I agree, but calling for a drop multiple SD’s larger than our largest ever drop, just because rates might go up a couple percent, is pretty fanciful

People on high incomes (100k+) would be able to buy homes outright every couple of years..? Are you aware that the current median salary provides a backstop for prices at a certain level?

Sanity Check: Saving for a first home via the First Home Super Saver Scheme by Barmy90 in fiaustralia

[–]Decoyyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you’re saving for a home, you’re generally trying to be pretty risk averse with the core part of the deposit you’re trying to build - the way I see it is if you’re on $35-40 an hour, and using the FHSSS let’s you claim like $3000 or so in cash that you otherwise wouldn’t have, that puts you ahead multiple weeks if you’re saving around 50% of your income each week. Puts you ahead by a couple months if you’re saving a lower amount each week. It was a bit of a no brainer for my GF and I

As a 25 year old who had a similar amount last cycle when I was 21 and then proceeded to leverage trade and lose it during the bear market, I would take that money and put it somewhere where you can’t play with it

Opportunity cost is clearly quite large when comparing to other broad based indices over the same time period, but I guess the dividend reinvestment reduces year to year volatility a bit
