CENTURIA CAPITAL LIMITED
A single decision can change your life, and that's exactly what Centuria Capital joint chief executive Jason Huljich learned when he came to Australia in the 1990s. Eliza Bavin writes.
This article implies an average 30 year old has spare cash.
I would have thought the average 30 year old is looking at raising children and paying off a mortgage.
The lack of certainty on retirement access rules on both method of payment and age of access for a 30 year old means many would not even consider the option of adding it to super.
While we all agree frittering it away on consumption is a waste of the money, the lack of access to the money when living expenses are nearing their peak mean most 30 yo's would just ignore this suggestion on denigrate it.
A better suggestion is to use it to pay off a chunk of the mortgage while rates are low or towards a home deposit.
The poorly advertised and now defunct First Home Owners Savers Accounts are sorely missed.
