The Cold, Hard Truth About Homeownership

The Numbers Don't Lie

Did you know that in most major cities, the average down payment is more than a year's rent? Yeah, we didn't either (until we looked it up).

And with rising interest rates, you'd need to sell a kidney (or two) just to afford the monthly payments.

Avocado Toast Economics

They say if you stop buying smashed avo, you can afford a house. Let's do the math:

Average smashed avo toast in Sydney: $22
Days in a year: 365
Annual savings: $8,030 AUD
Median Sydney house price: $1.4M AUD

Congrats! In just 174 years, you'll have enough for a deposit on a 1-bedder in Parramatta!

Brew Your Way to (Eventual) Riches

Skip the $6 flat whites and start brewing at home. It's the little savings that (maybe) add up.

The Aussie Math:

Flat white at a cafe: $6 AUD
Home-brewed coffee: $1 AUD
Daily savings: $5 AUD
Yearly savings: $1,825 AUD

At this rate, in just 153 years, you might have enough for a parking spot in Bondi.

What about "maintenance costs" (their problem)?

We subtract typical landlord expenses, because even they deserve a break (from you).
