It’s giving “just buy a house so you don’t have to rent”

I could pay off my hecs but it would mean using all the savings I’ve put aside to buy a house over the last 4 years- what are we supposed to do?

perslh02 :
I hear people say don’t pay it off. Unfortunately, if you don’t give your employer your hecs debt, the tax man takes it for you at tax time 😬

Laura :
Even if I pay the $1000 off my debt that I can afford I will still get indexed more than that so it’s not worth it

Dominique Coral :
Aaaah yes. All the spare cash after my mortgage and bills will certainly make a good nudge on the $50k of HECS. Why didn’t I think of this sooner? 🧐
