Happy Friday, Aussies!
As you can see from my past posts, I'm considering using a recent windfall to clear both my and my partner's student loans. After that, our next goal is to buy a house in Melbourne.
In reality, if we proceed with this plan, we'll need to take out a mortgage for the house. Our financial situation is fairly not-bad, I believe, especially when compared to our peers in uni. However, there's always the looming uncertainty of a potential global recession. I think we could really use some advice from this community. Can anyone help?
mrminivee : The main difference it's made to my life is that I'm not afraid of being fired. I don't spend extravagantly by any means and am happy to see my investments grow.
drfrogsplat : I don't need to strive to climb up the corporate ladder to get a higher salary. I try to find the "sweet spot" with my job - good work/ life balance, less stress. And I enjoy the better things in life without worrying too much about spending.
Chii11 : I’ll drop an extra day of work…
ArtieZiffsCat : Nothing changed. The ASX now takes my money
DustBrother : I don't know who I am or what I'm supposed to do
