Episode notes
Balance Travel With Saving
- Do budget so you can enjoy travel and still save for a home by carving out a travel bucket in cashflow.
- Do consider cheaper rent or investing elsewhere so rent doesn't feel like 'dead money'.
Starter Home Then Upgrade Story
- Owen shares a friend who bought an inexpensive starter house, used it to prove savings, then upgraded later with big equity gains.
- They lived elsewhere later and sold for several hundred thousand in equity to buy their ideal home.
Use First Home Super Saver Carefully
- Try the First Home Super Saver scheme as a way to lock away savings for a deposit if it suits your situation.
- Check rules and deemed returns first because the scheme uses a formula not actual market returns.
