Let's face it... Home ownership has become a challenge in the past few years.
 

What should first home owners prioritise – the deposit, or paying off the mortgage? Is it enough to have a huge amount of money in the bank? Should you take a second or third job?

Today, we talk about the importance of balancing your income and savings as we dissect an article on how much you need to afford First Home Guarantee – we're covering the risks of having a low deposit, why you need a buffer, losing money in a rising market, and more!
