Want to buy your first home but think you canโt afford it? The numbers might surprise you ๐ฏ
A 5% deposit on a $600,000 property is $30,000 โ a figure that can feel much more achievable than many aspiring first home buyers expect.
People are often completely shocked when we run the numbers with them and realise they may be much closer to their dream of home ownership than they initially thought.
Hear from Mel and Darlene on how to start preparing to buy your first home in our latest episode.

Have you ever taken the time to truly understand your money story? ๐๏ธ
These beliefs, usually created in childhood, drive our behaviours and actions throughout our lives.
By diving deep into our own money stories โ and sharing them with others โ we can get a clear view of how theyโre impacting us, and decide which parts to keep and which are no longer serving us.

Weโve had some great chats with ๐จ๐ฏ๐น๐ฐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐๐๐ these past couple of days ๐
And something thatโs come up again and again is people telling us that employees asking for more support with their finances.
HR and People & Culture leaders are seeing it come through in engagement surveys and recognising that financial wellbeing is becoming an important part of their overall wellbeing strategy.
Itโs been really encouraging to have these conversations and meet so many people who genuinely care about supporting their teams.
