WHERE IS THE MONEY?

The consequences of society’s epic failure to incorporate financial literacy anywhere in the education system (including at home) is that 7 out of 10 people aged 65+ are dependent on a taxpayer funded aged pension.

The annual cost of these ‘back-ended unemployment benefits’ is now a whopping $70 billion. Embarrassing!

62 percent of Australia’s total household is held in residential property (their own home plus investment properties, of which everyday Aussies have funded 91 percent of the total national rental pool).

While 80 percent of Baby-boomers own their home, only 3 out of every 10 households have achieved financial independence (the other 7 out of 10 depend on the $70 billion paid by each year to fund aged pensions and the very modest lifestyle that comes with it).

72 percent of Gen X currently live in an owner-occupied home. They are already the most active of the generations from a perspective (39 percent of Australia’s landlords are Gen X, compared to Boomers representing 20 percent).

Analysis of ATO and ABS statistics by suggests that an estimated 700,000 Millennials (people aged 29-43) are already property investors.

100,000 existing Australian are less than 30-years old.

For good reason, we’ve been banging on about the economic mess created in Victoria for quite some time.

Initially, many people couldn’t comprehend the leadership decision that Propertyology took, and the intentionally strong commentary we’ve made.

Melbourne’s severely underperformed property market since 2017 has been consistently squashed by the state’s economic mismanagement.

Absolutely no one should be surprised by the inaugural speech of newly appointed State Opposition Leader, Jess Wilson MP.

Until the state makes a big bunch of good decisions , nothing will change.

It seems like the world is in a rush to replace the ‘authentic’ with ‘artificial’.

Regardless of evolution, the purity of some things will always prevail. In this blog, we lean into some great wisdom from a famous Aesop fable, a truly awesome metaphor about elephants and intellectual growth, and a beautiful piece of literature from the legendary Dr Seuss.

MONEY

It matters little what occupation one has, or what income one earns.

What matters most when it comes to intelligence with money is:

1) It requires ‘effort’ to MAKE MONEY,

2) It requires ‘discipline’ to KEEP MONEY, and

3) It requires ‘learning’ through a combination of quality information and actions to MULTIPLY MONEY.
