Did you catch the Budget this year?

No? That’s okay – we watched it for you!

Now that the dust has settled, we’ve collated the key points from the night and dissected what exactly they mean for you.

Whether you’re a member of Gen Y, are a little older in the wealth building stage of your career, or are about to retire/are a recent retiree, we have broken the jargon down into clear, digestible insight bursts.

Discover insights relevant to your life stage in breakdown below.

Gen Y

Do you feel like a winner, or do you feel like a loser? As a Gen Y, you may feel a little of both. The Government’s attempt to address housing affordability will give first home buyers the option to save for their first home within their super account (a potential win). However they also lowered the HELP debt repayment threshold, meaning you’ll have to start paying your uni fees sooner (a potential loss).

But these are just two key take aways from the night – what else did the budget have in store for Gen Y?
