Folks, it’s time for another FI case study – and this one explores a topic that will hit close to home. Keep reading, and you’ll find out why that was such a hilarious pun.

In this episode, Dave and Hayden take a question from a listener which has crossed countless minds. The listener does an excellent job of providing their financial details, so the Aussie FIRE duo can really dive in. In essence, though, the question boils down to:

“Should my partner and I max out our borrowing capacity and buy our dream home now? Or should we keep investing and hope we can afford it in the future?”

As always, the listener’s circumstances are unique, and may not apply to you. Having said that, you may find some food for thought for your own property journey.  Beyond this listener’s question, Dave and Hayden also share their thoughts on bonds, and buying the dip.

Enjoy!
