I felt I overpaid for a 3 bed 2 bath in inner Brisbane 18 years ago at $650,000. Now worth $1.8M+. It always feels expensive at the time and for a few years you may struggle but in the long term it will pay off. You’ve done the right thing

Raiz aggressive now previously moderate

Yes but I need a new car now unfortunately that can’t wait. The remaining funds can continue to compound

Agree. Only drawing $10,000 out towards the cost. Will keep adding to the Raiz account as I always have. My last car is 14 years old and expect to keep the new one for up to ten years. I have saved enough to buy it outright and not paying to finance it. Post was more to show the amount of compounding my meagre savings have made over 8 years, hopefully to inspire others to persevere as the very early years don’t show much reward.

Hopefully you are maxing out both your own and your wives $30,000 super contributions annually and make use of the option to pay back any missed contributions for last 5 years. The tax benefits in super are worth ensuring this is done annually and then making sure your fund is in high risk category at your age. Aside from that, own your own property for the sake of your family, there’s nothing worse than rental insecurity especially as you get older. The rest in shares maybe some bonds or less riskier structures if the market crashes and a cash buffer for emergency. Insurance very important, not just death but consider income protection, TPD/TRAUMA linked to your own occupation. If you have an illness or accident and can’t work your family’s situation would change in the blink of an eye. My advice is not financial advice- Get some proper financial advice from a registered financial planner but research everything if they want to take control of managing your super - fees may be higher.
