🏡 “We paid 17% interest in 1989!”

Yes… but how big was the mortgage compared to your pay? 👀

It’s the line that comes up whenever today’s buyers talk about struggling to afford a home.

And yes, 17% interest was tough. But the interest rate only tells part of the story.

According to Savvy’s analysis, Australians now carry more than two and a half times as much household debt relative to their income as they did in 1989. Adjust for that bigger debt burden, and today’s rates pack a similar punch. 💸
Lower rates don’t automatically mean an easier mortgage.

👇 Share this with someone who’s ever said, “You think YOU have it tough? We paid 17%!” It might give your next conversation a different starting point. 😉

Today's mortgage rates are well below 1989's, but Savvy analysis shows rising household debt has brought the burden back to similar levels.

Well done to our local butchers here in Avoca on their awards for their satay chicken sausages and pepper maple streaky bacon! 👏🏆

We love their bangers, bacon, cabana, beef, ham and more. If you haven’t popped in and tried their produce, do yourself a favour and give it a crack—you’re in for a treat! 😋

Great to see our local talent getting the recognition they deserve.
