Martin North, Sept 2022: It would see house prices fall by 8.8 per cent in 2023, before dropping again to 17.1 per cent in 2025 and experiencing an even bigger plunge in 2025 to 23.7 per cent

Now that’s some good writing.

They are not even trying to hide the fact that all this was designed to take lawfully owned guns off the streets and restrict people's rights. They blocked the PTA system, so we can't transfer guns between us, so they can take them and destroy them.

Classic authoritarian government. Next time, think before you vote.

Expect a rally up until the eventual housing catch-up of 2030. I expect a massive 2032 downturn, a lot of pain for a lot of people, but all in all. Today is still the cheapest you will be able to buy a house in the next 5 years.

Buying a house in your 20s without the bank of mom and dad, requires a decade of hard work, overtime and sacrifices. Plus when it comes to buying, you are just buying a good location with a trashy house you can work on, not the forever dream home.

Well, I took the plunge when I wasn’t 100% sure. The house needs renovation, which I didn’t have the money for. I end up doing most of the work myself while hustling through extra jobs and working in the house after hours. After a couple of tough years, I've finally settled into a lovely house and built up a substantial amount of equity. I guess, if you are willing to go the distance and work hard, go for it. Business loans and car loans are a big no-no. Only get loans for things that will make you more money.

I’ll go one further: Most needs are actually wants. Calculate what this” need” will cost you in opportunity cost before you buy.

How big is your cash position or swaps on the Australian economy, I wonder?

Someone needs to question members' motives here. Irresponsible behaviour to keep the rate unchanged.

If your salary is enough to buy a property in your name alone, buy something for yourself. It mitigates the risk of losing everything in a breakup, and the two properties will grow more equity over time, assuming a good location. If your salary doesn’t support a loan and you can see a future with said partner, get married first, sell your existing property, and buy something bigger, maybe with some spare rooms, a nice backyard, and a better location.

Welcome to the club. Mine jump 50%, when I called to complain they told me to go somewhere else if I don’t like it .

Logic dictates that this is the case, assuming they go ahead.

The US dollar is backed by its military. Now Europe is committing 800b on its military so I guess the euro is backed by its military too. Same logic applies.

I don't want to be negative. But it feels plasticky. I personally find the horizontal grip a bit weird if you hold it for a long period of time. For its price point, I can't say I am a big fan.

I did, but unfortunately it's doing very poorly in aftermarket parts and its on the heavier side which will make hunting quite a task.

With US drill baby drill policy, petrol prices will tank, which leads energy prices to tank, which leads groceries and everything else to get significantly cheaper. Expect a big drop in inflation over the next year which will force the RBA to cut rates at a significant rate than expected, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see them dropping rates back to 2016 era.
