So this actually happened to me when I was younger. Sitting down with a family member, a parent, gave me the story that they bought a house down in Sydney, could've been the 50s or 60s.
So I just asked the question, I was like, well, how much did the house cost? $26,000. How much income did you earn that year? And he said, $28,000. So back then, probably it was only about $500,000, but I didn't earn $500,000 dollars. And I'm sure a lot of people, most people don't earn $800,000 dollars a year.
So there's a disjoint on what things were like back in the past to now. So you have to understand keeping up with the times, looking at the grants, how to best utilise the finances is just very, very different to what it was 20-30 years ago.
