In this month’s newsletter, with the commencement of the new financial year, we begin by providing information about change in several key personal finance areas for wealth accumulators, pre-retirees and retirees. Our animation illustrates borrowing power, and the importance of understanding the difference between potential and actual borrowing power when looking to enter the residential property market. We discuss life insurance, whereby an insurer may include one or more beneficial supplementary provisions alongside the core provisions of their life insurance policy offering. We cover the HomeBuilder grant program for eligible owner-occupiers (including first home buyers), which is a new COVID-19 economic response recently announced by the Government. Lastly, we leave you with an insightful video on consumer purchases by National Geographic—it investigates whether a product’s price can influence our pre-purchase expectation, and post-purchase experience, of its quality.
In addition, our learning modules have been updated to reflect new legislation from 1 July 2020.
