The Australian economy is in uncharted territory. The average household is struggling with record levels of debt and many are repaying massive mortgages each month. At the same time, wage growth is stubbornly low but the cost of living is rising. To top it off, the Reserve Bank is now signalling it will likely raise interest rates. Here's part two of an Alan Kohler special series.

One bad news after the other. One can't just come across good news lately. The suffering is getting out of hand with no hope in sight. I for one has been badly affected by all these and at this point, I'm more interested in a solution. What is the way forward? Do we just keep suffering? How do we the lower class cope with all of these? How do we get past this phase?

@paulagoodman7530 2 года назад

Practical approach; Reduce things that get you sick (that way, you increase productivity and reduce spending on health), Spend only on necessities, Try to invest what you can and spread them locally and internationally but of course be well informed about where you want to put your money and finally, vote wisely. Made my first million this way earlier this year (got help though). Can comfortably wait out this "phase".

The thing is the idea there is actually a shortage is a lie. The major cities have a 20 - 25% unoccupied rate. It's the concept of a house as an investment and not a place to live that has caused the shortage. What we have is a lack of affordable housing and a bunch of people buying land as an investment not to live in. On top of that we have ridiculously high rents.

@@Spacemonkeymojo Yes, I think area has a great deal to do with it. Jobs+city=sky high rent, empty units, developers and owners raking in the big bucks; regional+low availiability but also high affordabilty = no jobs. I do believe housing security is a very big problem and the feeling of insecurity that so many people are walking around with, is also having huge impacts on mental well being. Jobs are also more insecure than they have ever been. Gone are the days where you got a job as a postie, staying in it for life, nice and secure, and afforded a house, and family with a stay at home mum and cruised into a nice retirement, maybe with a holiday home along the way.

The banks have a lot to answer for here. Allowing people to borrow so freely, especially those who already have a home, and are looking to buy investment property, they have created a crisis of housing affordability, in the name of increasing their profits. This is particularly horrific, considering the GFC only happened 15 years ago - within living memory. How were they allowed to continue servicing these kinds of loans? The regulators and government who should have been monitoring this were asleep at the wheel - the regulator because it's basically toothless, and the Coalition government, who knew that rising house prices would go down well with their largely enfranchised base. Now we are reaping the rewards for the greed of the banks and government.

100% spot on. Remember this at the polls when voting. The banks are private, they'll do what is in their best interest. This crisis is the governments and central banks doing. Their inaction has created massive moral hazard and emboldened Australians to take out absurd mortgages. Everyone knew there was an issue by early to mid 2021 but gov stood by and did nothing to discourage the speculation. Who should pay for this now? The speculators or the next generation of young Australians? I know who it should be but our government has a habit of protecting the speculators.

Sadly cheaper housing prices will make it easier to live and afford, but in order to be affordable we need house prices to drop and many people will suffer.

We’re entering into a phase where it’s lose lose between those who already own a property and those who want to.

In that case the people who suffer simply overpaid for property. That’s their fault, why should we let future generations suffer because of their stupidity? Prices need to be reset.

If you’re a prospective first-time homebuyer hoping (or praying) home prices will decline in 2022, don’t count on it. If people are waiting for a price to decline, well, it’s not going to happen. Heading into the spring of 2022, mortgage rates have increased over a full percentage point and while purchase demand has cooled, it remains firm. Supply remains near record lows, so home price growth is expected to remain high through the spring homebuying season before cooling off later this year as mortgage rates continue to rise. Investing in REITs will be a right decision as it's also included in a growing number of defined-benefit and defined-contribution investment plans

@theodorerossi7998 2 года назад

Phillip Lowe should be audited. I just want to make sure he isn’t getting paid under the table to keep rates low by LNP MPs. We need more transparency when it comes to roles like his. The government also wants to allow people to use more super to pay for a house. Not only will that just act to increase house prices, but the money withdrawn will not be able to compound over decades to build up a nice nest egg. These people who use super to pay for a house will be asset rich but cash poor in retirement and as a result will need to rely on the pension. It’s all just so stupid and shortsighted.

The Australian interest rates will rise around 2% more than the interbank rate set by the New York Federal Reserve Bank. This is what happens. We could replace the Reserve Bank of Australia with an application that monitors the rate set in America and another application that creates new Australian dollars when the government needs more money and won’t raise taxes.

So reitirees are at the mercy of the markets, and homeowners are struggling to pay for their current standard of living due to the markets. This article forgot to mention that people on the dole are also getting their rent raised and have no way of getting more money when the government refuses to say if the dole is enough to live on.

I work at a place where people are now doing more hours and more days in order to pay for the "high cost of living", but to spend your paycheck week to week on frivolous things is only fuelling inflation. We all (as a country) need an economic education on how we can reduce the severity of the cost pressures. I'm not sure these generations can do it... they've never had hard times and as a result are so soft and silly.

@yeh.80 2 года назад

One wonders if this is a consequence of human growth. For the last 100 years the population globally and domestically has increased massively. Anyone who has had a basic induction into biology would be well versed on the idea of population carrying capacity, humans have been able to continually increase this via means such as medicine, education, etc. I do however wonder what the future has in hold, perhaps a third world war, a mass famine/pandemic, who really knows. I do find comfort in the fact that the show must go on, humans or not.

@joebloggs830 Год назад

Here's an angle for you, my own experience: In late Dec 2021, my landlord sent me a rent increase to come into effect in 28 days... late Jan 2022. The amount was 20.5% more than current. I google accommodation CPI and was met with a 5.3% figure... I complained the increase was excessive, and my complaint would be mediated by the Residential Tenancies Authority (QLD). Although I lodged my complaint within a couple of hours of receiving it, I didn't hear anything from RTA and had to make a decision at least 7 days prior (which I decided to vacate, not out of financial burden, but out of principle of why could someone treat a good tenant this way). The RTA finally called on the Tuesday after my weekend move-out process had already happened, which I gave them some "very honest" feedback ☹️ Since that was late Jan / Early Feb, I have just "celebrated" six months of homelessness. My car is my refuge, my roof over my head for the past half-year.

Thr real reason for this financial stress is the structure of the financial system. Debt needs to inflate to hold up the system. It's an exponential debt based system, a ponzi scheme of epic proportions. Mathematically, it was also going to fail since the world left the gold standard. The failure is getting closer. Uncertain times ahead. Buy food.

@reductor_ 2 года назад

The system is broken, we need to not have a system where the rich can actually make money of interest rates rising and the poor can lose from it. While interest on debt seems to make sense, the more I think about it the more it just seems like something to keep poor people from breaking out of their situation. Should someone who has negative money (debt) be charged more money, while someone who has positive money (savings) be making more money? The system is broken it keeps the rich rich and the poor poor.
