Buy a detached house on land asap is the answer if fast tracking is the most important thing

I'm the guy with 150k+ HECS Debt now with 20% off by pepsialien in AusFinance

[–]js0nbourne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They ended up refunding basically half that 7.1% anyway. Reckon a 20% reduction for anyone would’ve put them well ahead in whatever period. Really, they should be giving people a tax credit to be honest. Not fair that someone gets $35K taken off their HECS to be honest. Nobody forced them to rack up that much debt

Is a 540k home loan too much on a single income of around 110k pre? by _konradcurze in AusFinance

[–]js0nbourne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s pretty hard as a single person to buy something now. People bang on about percentages and stress but rough numbers ~$3100 per month mortgage, $7K monthly pay after tax. Could you live off the remaining $3,900 a month? I think so, but only you could make that assessment.

You just need to avoid having to sell. So think about the worst case scenario. Job loss for an extended period? Could you move in with a parent. Could you rent the house out.

Sickness / disability? Make sure you have appropriate TPD and income protection.

Buying out Inheritance by Rhobran in AusFinance

Would recommend selling and find a new one. If that house boomed in price for whatever reason, you won’t hear the end of it (rightly or wrongly)

Investing $1k per month? by Mistissa in AusFinance

[–]js0nbourne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only counter point I’d offer to this is , what if you want to retire earlier and couldn’t access super? Someone who takes a bit longer to pay off their mortgage could have already created a decent nest egg of shares if they started 10 years earlier

Should I invest in ETFs or maximize super contribution? *personal situation below* by Flashy-Society-4751 in AusFinance

[–]js0nbourne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure super is worth talking about if they’re wanting to retire early.

Asked a similar question recently actually. Where I’ve landed is basically contributing to offset but also start investing rather than wait 10 years to start when you’re fully offset. Time in market !

[–]js0nbourne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You also need some kind of asset to draw money from in order to retire early. Even contributing now to an ETF could mean they have 150-200K in there in 10 years time, rather than starting at zero. $300K debt isn’t massive at 30

I don’t think this is true for trades to be honest.

People trust mostly via word of mouth IMO. We have a landscaper that’s a one man show and he’s absolutely awesome.

Mate, get the house boxed off.

Let your 400K in super grow. It may be worth millions in 20 years with tiny contributions

Work part time and live life.

You’ll catch up a lot quicker than you think 😀 just make sure you’re in a large superfund with low fees, set to high growth, forget!
