    The whole idea that people has to spend less to contain inflation is evil. People don’t print money, government does, why don’t they control spending and lower the value of the fiat currency?

      Australia is full of wealthy over 60 year olds, adding to inflation, gen x who rent drive nice cars and waiting for mum and dads money , adding to inflation, overseas wealthy students, adding to inflation, divorced couple with a big chunk change each, adding to inflation and the list goes on. So let's hit the average family with 1 or 2 kids is how this whole thing works really. Complete load of BS that wealthy people can benefit from. Yet agian the " lucky country " becomes harder to get ahead in.

      Idea of current interest rates is not evil. They are at normal levels now. Having low interest rate only serves the purposes of reviving a stalled economy. Low cash rate in our debt based economy actually harms the economy because it creates inflation. I flatiron is growth in money supply.
      What we are seeing now with layoffs and business bankruptcies is an outcome of low interest rates for too long.

Another friend has 14 excavators that he hires out. This business is also going south. They both jumped on the bullwhip effect. Now the whip is losing its momentum and so are they. Along with many others. I think Simon Hunt will be correct. He has good reasoning that by 2026 we will be in 7 years of rolling recessions or possible depression.

    The government not offering a downsizer stamp duty exemption is criminal. My wife's grandmother is 90 and her house is not appropriate for her needs (2 story home) but for her to move she will cop $60,000 in stamp duty on the next purchase and the lovely real estate agent will take another $40,000 to sell her home. The transaction doesn't make sense for her. If the stamp duty was exempt on the next purchase she would sell and free up that home for a family to live in.

      My mum got around this by doing the government’s house draw down payments. She uses the money to pay for a hotel and travel currently but will eventually use it to pay rent for a suitable place to live. The money she would get from renting it out would affect her pension, so she is currently letting my sister stay in it for free while she saves for a deposit on her own house.

      1/ Gold is only good as a long term hedge against inflation and as the original international currency ( if you are intending to runaway from your country go hard here)
      2/owning your own home allows you to set your housing costs in todays price.
      3/ beware interest, try not to pay it and if you receive it be aware that higher amounts are usually only offered if there is great risk.
      4/ cash flow of an asset is not the only concern you should worry about, how good a store of your money is it (will it be worth less than paid), does it have fees to hold, can it’s value be easily borrowed against and how costly is it to liquidate (sell).
      That being said at the moment some of the biggest names in finance are saying cash isn’t a bad investment at the moment and I agree but personally only up to the $250k insured level.

During recessions, even if RBA gives free money, banks don't lend willy nilly.

    Another aspect to think of is that stamp duty encourages new builds. We need to encourage new builds to ultimately reduce housing supply. We need to get rid of GST on new builds, you don't pay GST on buying existing property. First home owner grants etc should be geared towards new builds. Then downsizers have a choice to save on stamp duty by building a new property.
    Increasing GST will supress the economy even further. It will hurt the poor and putting housing further out of reach. We need to review immigration and stop using housing as a investment tool. Money needs to be invested in business to create jobs for the future.

    The fact that there is already an excessive amount of demand awaiting its absorption, despite how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, is another reason why it is less likely to occur that way. 2008 saw no one, at least not the broad public, making this forecast, as I'll explain below. The ownership rate was noted to have peaked in 2004 in the other comment. Having previously peaked in the second quarter of 2020, we are currently at the median level. Between 2008 and 2012, it dropped by 3%, and by the second quarter of 2020, it had dropped from 68 to 65.

      Yeah, you’re right. I was clearing about $1,500 for a few years with no overtime. I used to do 5-10 hours of overtime every week and the company I worked for did 24/7 service, so I’d be on call for a week once every few weeks and do a bunch of after hours callouts at $200 a pop - that helped loads. I used to have a separate savings account too and every time I saved 10k, I’d put that away and start again. And I’d put all my tax returns away too, ranging from 5-15k. I’m in Canberra though, so definitely had it easier than people living in Sydney. The government is fucked though, I agree. They’ve made it extremely difficult to have a comfortable middle class life. I work for myself now and I’m not stress free, some weeks when it’s quiet I feel like breaking down not knowing where and when my next pay is coming. In a way I don’t feel sorry for us, there’s millions of us and 150 of them. If we’re too gutless to stand up for ourselves and march on Parliament House and give them all a flogging, then we’re simply just allowing it and asking for more.

      My only concern is with the super rate going up, is the burden is put on the employer, as it is added on top of the award wage. In a slowing economy it will end with less hours worked. So the overall super contribution might not increase as expected. But then why would you want greater super contributions as the money is slowly filtered up into the finance system with fees to manage the fund. Fees when the fund invests into ETFs and other various finance vehicles specifically created to farm those fees. Super is yet another wealth transfer vehicle.

    As an investor with 5 rentals ( still owing between 40-60% of value to banks) l said from the start of interest rate rises that increasing the gst temporarily until inflation was closer to rba range was a much fairer option as only 31% of the population are paying off a mortgage. We need more conversation like this in mainstream media instead of demonising landlords for increasing rents (my interest on loans went from 60k to 80k per year in 1 yr) to cover the rises. If the gst option was used there would be no need for large rent rises.

    • @dozermc5220
      @dozermc5220 Před 2 měsíci

      An interesting idea. I'm much more in favour of introducing temporary compulsary super co-contribution. 10% out of everyone's pay every week into their super. It protects those without an income but evenly spreads the shouldering of the burden of the fight against inflation across everyone else, not just the 31% with a mortgage. It would have prevented the surge in rental costs because renters would be directly affected in line with their income. Best of all we'd all eventually get our money back in our super. If there's a concern that the sudden influx of cash into super funds was going to see increased investment spending, driving up inflation, then the money could be designated for foreign investment use only.

    You wonder why there is not enough rentals? Because state governments, especially the biggest, NSW won't allocate, rezone the land especially along existing transport corridors. They, the States, would have to build infrastructure and might have to borrow money, to build a dam, shock, horror, the Greens would be fired up to resist that !
    For example, one case, of the corridor from SYD to Newcastle, miles of land next to the rail and Freeway, but where is the plan, developments. Why is that ? Oh there is no water & sewerage! Power, yes plenty of coal, wait they want to close those generators !

  • @ichrisone
    @ichrisone Před 3 měsíci +2

    The cash rate DOES NOT MATTER for valuations, it matters for short term solvency. Valuations are based on the 10 and 30 year bond. An interest rate drop at the short end (RBA cash rate) will spike rates long end (bond rates). If the RBA dropped interest rates it would reduce the appeal of long term bonds, raise those rates and put downward pressure on house prices long term. Crazy huh. Not intuitive. Financial mechanics that no one is talking about.

    Sell or pay off your debts and as a single who want a house bad in a regional area can live off 20k and save the rest! say they are on 1k a week that's 30k a year that's a 5% deposit
    be in your own house as a single person in just over a year! awesome!

    Inflation coupled with price gouging has punched every average Australian right in the guts/nuts, and you guys are talking about increasing GST as an option to increase govt control on the population. Horrible idea on all counts. I also see you guys deem it reasonable for senior citizens to have additional financial struggles and increase their burdens so that your kids will have it easier getting into the property market. Todays youth will never comprehend the struggle previous generations made to get ahead in their lives. So the thought of sacrificing the old for the young gets the FU vote

    Stop selling our Australian land and property to foreigners. You can’t as Australians buy property in Asian countries such as China or India , but many of our properties are owned by foreigners. Unless you’re an Australian citizen you shouldn’t be able to purchase property in Australia. Government needs to put hold to foreign ownership of Australian property and those already owned ,should be taken back and exchanged to a lease or bought back at our national interest. Australians citizens are disproportionately affected by foreign ownership and it’s time politicians pushing foreign ownership policies need to be investigated and prosecuted for crimes against the Australian citizens.

For every txs on goods and services just add 0.60c to the total. The gov will use 0.60 cents will will give them $400B a year. They won't need to print and cause inflation.
