HECS Repayment Strategy
- Consider your overall financial goals before prioritizing HECS repayment.
- A larger HECS debt can reduce borrowing power, but also a smaller HECS debt can reduce your savings for a deposit.

- Albo's proposal to wipe 20% of student debt and raise the repayment threshold could lead to debt accumulation for lower earners.
- Freezing indexation for those below the threshold is crucial.

- Factor in a 5-10% buffer for unforeseen costs in development projects.
