In your Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) travels, you may have heard of the First Home Super Saver Scheme. To oversimplify, it’s a government plan which allows you to channel some of your superannuation towards your first home deposit.
If you’ve been lamenting the costs of real estate lately, the FHSSS may appeal to you. But is it a worthwhile avenue for buying your first address?
In this session, Dave (Strong Money Australia) and Hayden (co-founder of Pearler) will be making sense of the First Home Super Saver Scheme. During their chat, they discuss how it works, its pros and cons, and who they believe it’s best suited for. With any luck, this episode will help you understand the Scheme, and decide on whether it’s right for you.
