Description

The Australian dream is often tied up in buying a house as quickly as possible. The 5% First Home Guarantee makes it easier to get your foot in the door, but it is worth pausing to look at what else that money could do. If you took that same $46,850 deposit and invested it instead, while adding to it consistently over time, the power of compounding interest could build a massive portfolio for your retirement. Of course, this is just one way to look at the numbers and there are always variables to consider. The right choice depends entirely on your own goals, lifestyle, and financial situation.
