Perfect Foundations
Are you looking to buy your first home or have recently purchased your first home?
When embarking on your journey through life, the task of managing your finances can seem daunting. You might receive advice on the importance of budgeting, consolidating your superannuation accounts, maintaining records for taxes, and securing various insurance policies. This plethora of information can quickly become overwhelming, leading many to procrastinate and push financial matters aside. Yet, with the proper support system and a solid structure in place, you can gain the confidence to seize control of your finances and steer them toward your life’s aspirations.
Certain life goals, such as owning a home, realising your picture-perfect wedding, or affording your dream car, may seem out of reach unless you receive a significant financial gift from your family, a luxury that most Australians can’t rely on. Nevertheless, by creating a financial plan and implementing strategies like the first home super saver scheme, you can significantly reduce the time needed to save a deposit to buy your first home and reach your life’s goals.
The Importance of Foundaitons
By becoming financially organised early in life, you will be laying the foundations for a prosperous future, positioning you ahead of the curve by harnessing the power of compound interest. Implementing an investment plan in your youth and ensuring proper allocation of your superannuation funds could translate into a substantial difference, potentially amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars extra in retirement. Time is your greatest ally when you’re young, and when coupled with diversified investments that are leveraging compounding interest, it becomes a formidable asset.
Below is an illustration of two individuals who initiated an investment plan. One began investing with a smaller balance at an earlier stage in life, while the other allocated a larger sum to the plan but commenced ten years later. Despite investing for twice as long as the first individual and allocating four times the amount, the person who started ten years later still ended up with a smaller balance by the age of 60. For those interested, in this scenario, the second individual wouldn’t surpass the first individual’s balance until reaching the age of 76, with an additional investment of $160,000.
