Individually most of us owe a lot of money compared to what we earn, whether it's stacked up on our credit cards or in our mortgages or other loans.

A wise person once said,
"Taking financial advice from a bank is like taking medical advice from a drug dealer"
Definancialize the economy. The banks are so obviously complacent, decadent, manipulative cesspools, parasitic, barely functional, suckling on low interest rates.
hhahhahhhahahha 1000% right

Well at least a drug dealer gives you drugs 😂😂
🤣 better get a better Bank then. My "bank" has given me good advice.
Give a man a gun he can rob a bank, give a man a bank he can rob the world.

“I wouldn’t consider us to be well-off, I’d say we’re comfortable.” Oh okay mate, with your million dollar mortgage, kids in private schools and Mercedes SUV in the driveway.
Yeh but it's all debt. They stop working and they have nothing
Yeah "mortgage" as in borrowing.. or death in other words 😂 Not one bit of sympathy for people like this.. will be good to see these people fall, so all can afford to live.
I'd much rather have my little house that's paid off without the worry of something going wrong.
By comfortable, he means they can make their monthly payments on all their debts. Why do you think she never took a day off work after having kids?
What idiots.. people living a lie..
Just the thought of being 1 million in debt, gives me anxiety. I bought my own home at 25. We live in a rural city, bought an older, 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom house in a nice neighborhood and are working towards being mortgage free before 40. We may not LOOK well off, but I guarantee we have more money in the bank, less debt and a higher net worth than the people in my town living in a brand new, 5 bed house and driving a range rover. We are not stressed about paying bills because we live well below our means (we actually pay double our mortgage repayments every week) We simply do not buy things we can not afford to pay cash for, and definitely do not live our lives to try to impress anyone else.
This is the best, let compound interest work its wonder, get the mortgage known as mortal engagement, its design to keep one in debt forever! And glad your tip is the best, no point to try to buy the car, the brand name goods to show others, debt free is peace, and peace is so valuable most don't know. I am debt free now and I follow you 1000%, was once a borrower of loan shark. Glad out of the dark world. Thanks for great comment !! Hope more will follow :)
This is what I tell my family over and over again. THE BANK IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. They're goal is to make money from you, not help you. Cheers!

You don’t own a home when the bank has a mortgage on you. That needs to be understood. You “own” your home when you have the title clear and free and don’t owe a penny to anyone for the house.
See who really owns the home when you default on that property tax.

The worst i saw was this family in the UK that had a 100% mortgage on some mansion- so they were renting from the bank. ANd they were going on nice skiing holidays and sending their kids to private schools and buying them nice things. Then they got all upset when the downturn came, the dad's business closed and the bank foreclosed. Well duh.
@@MsJubjubbird Yes but Strayans are even dumber and greedier. (on a mass scale). I just watched an ABC you tube video profiling a Strayan late 50's couple who are 'retired'. They have a property portfolio of Interest only investment property they don't own but cream the the difference bw the rent and interest. They were complaining and rather furious their lovely life (they did not work for) was under threat bc some of their interest only loans were converting to principle and interest. Despite my taxes paying for their negative gearing too and them doing bugger all. They had the audacity to say the govt should stop the banks from changing their loans. welcome to Straya 2019!!
I remember my mortgage being $200.000 back in 2003 ,and use to shit myself worrying about it. Eventually became free hold and will never borrow money again for the rest of my life.I think having no debt will increase my life span due to no stress.
The boomers had 80k mortgages in the 80s.
The big issue is that real wages (the average wage in regards to an individual dollar's worth over the years) are effectively decreasing. When put in regards to the cost of living and inflation, the average Australian will earn less next year than he did this year.
The debt cannot be paid
Brett Wilkinson same here but I guess I’m a decade younger than you. Got the house I love almost payed off. Won’t have to pay mortgage or rent ever again after that
@@TheTeremaster one has to realize this , but paying rent is like flushing money down the toilet. One has to make great sacrifices to achieve being a house owner now .No kids , no holidays overseas, No eating out in restaurants. Do exactly what our grandparents did and you can achieve your goal. Owning your own house is still one of the big highs in life.
It's the ratio of salary/mortgage that needs to stay put. Unfortunately the salaries are stuck in the 70-80s in real value, while value of homes has gone through the roof.
@@TheTeremaster Your analysis is spot on but not ALL wages have stagnated. The largest companies are richer than ever with spare cash to buy back shares. Who owns those shares? The 1%.
Is it surprising that all the profits generated by capitalism are ending up in the pockets of the capitalists? Trickle down economics is a myth.
Canada is the same. Everyone lives above their means. Brand new houses in suburbs with two new SUV's in the driveway. Not for me.
I would, if I can manage debt. It's dangerous only if you don't know what you are doing.

There is something morally wrong with society when a house is so expensive.
It's just a house! It's not a bridge or a dam.
MartyvH its the interest rates. When central banks lower interest rate by buying bonds, those who sold those bonds try to find better yield and safe capital, housing is one of it. History has shown this many time, at one time, yield on house asset is going to be nil to the extent capital losses start to show, people starts selling, unemployment increase, things exacerbats. Usually when this happens, central banks lower rates, but at 0.75 rate, it is game over
Basic things like having a roof over your head is expensive lol. What a first world country this is.
it depends where the house is located. You can purchase a beautiful one...in Russia ...5 times less price
But nice house and family is the dream of many people
You are so damn right!
0:29 “We wanted to have our... own home.” Newsflash, it’s not yours.
Exactly, why does no one get this. If you have money owed on it you don't own it.
The bank can take it from you any day they like for any reason. I wonder if anyone actually reads their mortgage agreement.
@@falakoala4579 not sure if there is alloidal title in Australia..but that is one way to own land free and clear
It's in the banks asset column and your liability column
I suspect the home is more theirs than the banks. If the house is worth +$2m which is likely, then they are in a reasonable equity position. From an affordability perspective there’s no problem either as their combined income is probably +$400k so a $1m loan would only be
@@MMG008 probably better to drop that down to $200,000.

Well rich people aren't in normal jobs they are either old money or entrepreneurs living in mega million dollar houses.
They aren't rich. They have a million $ mortgage, but can service the debt as long as nothing goes wrong.
@@ambycakes there's a thing called good debt
If you choose to buy a $1M house and you only consider yourself 'comfortable' then perhaps you're not living within your means.
MrAnperm If you can’t borrow half a million dollars your living on the streets and if you can’t borrow one million you will spend an two hours in traffic every day. My advice, rent rent rent.
@@simoncarter5951 For anyone living in Sydney or Melbourne this is so true!
And for people living outside of Australia and unaware: the AVERAGE (median) house price in Sydney is about AU$1M!!
Which means with say a 20% deposit and a young-ish couple earning say $150k combined, it's $40k/yr just to service the interest on the loan, before even paying off the capital. (Many current/existing loans are locked in at around 5% mortgage interest rate here, even though the rate is lower now). Pretty scary really, especially as the house price market is leveling off or even falling a bit here.
In this case, the use of the word ‘comfortable’ translates to: ‘We have lots of money but society considers it crass to say that on a television program about how people are struggling so I’m going to use the word ‘comfortable’ instead to describe our financial situation’.
@@MMG008 Doubt that..i suppose in Straya having a million dollar mortgage is a status symbol to impress the friends you don't like.. she could not even enjoy motherhood as had to get straight back to work..think its endemic in Straya
1 million dollars houses are the norm in Sydney that's why
Economists saying that high level of debts are Ok is like a guy saying he is financially sound because he can pay the minimum amount on his credit card bill every month.
innoccente1 household debt is most definitely not okay, but government debt is manageable
Dylan Clements yea....
innoccente1 I mean you do know a Credit Card is basically for borrowing money, right?
KingCP08 :D That’s right. Under no circumstances should anyone use credit cards. All it does it get one into more debt. Everyone survived before credit cards were ever around.

Aramsa Wafer where exactly are you from? Out of curiosity?! You don’t seem to know much at all... I don’t know anyone who works 4 days a week. To have a mortgage here you need two people to be working 5-6 days a week

@@jennymisteqq5399 Willoughby is a higher-end suburb in Sydney (~20 mins drive to CBD). I'd guess that place was priced at $1.5 million minimum (prob closer to 2).
Yeah they have no other option than to pander to the boomers and their assets.
No that's not true. European property is so expensive that renters take 20yr leases and consider that "buying" a property as they can sublease it. Some have 100yr leases. They can not afford the property ever so they console themselves with long term leases. You can still buy and own land here. Stop your complaining. It's pathetic.
@@benmorris1968 your mis-informed re European Property. Do you understand how long leases work? i would suggest..educate urself before making things up.
I was born and raised in Sydney.
I served my country in the Royal Australian Navy. After getting out I noticed that I couldn't buy a house.
There's no help for Aussie Veterans. I noticed I couldn't afford to buy a home in the city I was born and raised. All the careers I was qualified to payed about the same. Fortunately im married to an American, which gave us more options. The Wife and I and the kids packed up said goodbye to Australia :(
We now live in the USA now. We are doing better now then we ever have. We can buy a house with no issues. I have way more career options that pay way more. It's sad that this has happened to Australia but I don't see the politicians doing anything about this.
Hmmm that’s really interesting. Not much help for American vets either though. Yeah our wages are pretty high though.

@@jimandy9472 thanks. They definitely help Vets more here. I ended up joining the US Navy so I have even more options once I get out. America takes way better care of there Veteran's.

This doco is essentially a beat up. The only thing this segment said is that the banks are so flush with profit. Debt to local debtors is not an issue. Debt to ourselves is irrelevant domestically to macro economic positions. Essentially that debt ratio just says that australian banks are amongst the most wealthy in the world.

Ryan Calleja my father told me that in 1972. 👍
james my father.
Not sure I follow... if someone owes a bank 1 million for a mortgage, and they default, the bank just takes the house... which would only be bad for the bank if housing prices tanked... and even that wouldn't be too bad for the bank because prices tend to recover... i.e. California post 2008

It's not just developed western countries by the way.
Superficiality. Vanity. Greed for status. This is what drives debt. People buying homes and acquiring mortgages they can't afford. People buying cars they can't afford. People taking lavish holidays (for social media posts) they can't afford. So they put it all on credit. Then they acquire something else...stress, anxiety, depression, isolation, anger, frustration, loneliness, alienation, grief. This is what happens when the things that you own end up owning you.
So true

Return back to old days. Form small communities, grow your own food, minimise the usage of electricals and electronics ...develop an ecosystem,silent yet hidden away from the system.
This was going to happen. The so called white - western arrogance comes from the industrialized Europe ,have you ever read about how people in Europe were neck deep in poverty before 19th century. Heck, even London had scarcity of toilests and amenities 70 years ago...but you never sit back...detach....and think what's going on. The modern world and system was based on a hollow framework to begin with. The excessive dependence on electronics and electricals was never meant for humans...
We could still form old communities ,bit by bit, piece by piece , away from cities , developing our own little organised framework, a system based on support and selflessness ( which you all lack) a system so self sufficient and self reliant that it doesn't need the modern amenities..education provided to children for fee ..libabries owned by the community etc etc.

wow, this was absolutely fascinating. I've always found a lot of similarities between the cost of living in Australia and the cost of living in many cities in Canada. Our household debt ratio is 170% as well. I wonder if this is the same trajectory we're headed down.
Same situation here in New Zealand. Low interest rates and people here are encouraged to spend spend spend. If you are a saver you receive very little interest and pay 33% tax on the little you do receive. All very scary to me.
If people don't spend then it all comes crashing down
Savers are not wanted anymore. They are paid tiny interest that doesn't beat inflation so they are really losing money if they keep in bank. People are encouraged to spend, borrow, work and spend more so that economy can stay afloat.

Not having a house doesn't mean you have more cash. Mortgage payments are often lower than what many renters have to pay. While renting, all that rent money goes into the pockets of the landlord, you basically pay off the mortgage of someone else and keep paying even beyond that.
The best thing one can do nowadays is to live with your parents as long as possible, assuming you have loving parents who care for you. Otherwise you are just burning away money and making others richer.
@@maythesciencebewithyou well I do have a house, but a lovely small one
The main problem is that people who borrow like these individuals are pricing for perfection. Sure the loan payments are "manageable" when things are good. What happens, if you lose your job, become ill, have an emergency of some sort, interest rates go up etc. Then things can spiral down really fast. Not one of these individuals thinks about that.

Actually most of the time eating cheap unhealthy salt, fat and sugar filled food causes weight gain.
You can spend less than a summer bikini body model on food and still end up getting fat. It's all about how many calories you consume and if you exercise or not.
You can eat healthy and cheap too. She bought two big Nutella that is full with sugar. I would not eat that even they are free. Unhealthy eating is actually very expensive then healthy eating
Further, the more sugar you eat the more you want to eat. Sugar is very addictive. The more you eat the more you spend. Nutella is full with sugar and very expensive too. You can get lite olive spread from Aldi for much cheaper and much healthier then Nutella. She is not shopping smarter and unhealthy.
Small fish comment...this family is a victim of a greedy economic system.
A million dollar mortgage.... house prices drop by 20-25% and the guy gets crook or loses his job their completely stuffed. End up with a 150-200k mortgage sleeping in the car. 1 mill mortgage= madness
1million mortgage in willoughby? Must have bought 10 years ago
You are smart mate. The reason why they are comfortable with the debt is that they can easily sell that property and make another million.
Spence probably more than 10 years ago. We bought our flat in the Sydney’s eastern suburb 15 years ago for 400k and now you won’t get the similar one less than 1 million.
Bloody hell people owe 1 million dollars and they are ahead 2 months in payments ....... you still owe 1 million wake the hell up!
Imagine the total repayable including interest

Imagine when interest rates head back up 😱
I guess living within my financial means and avoiding debt is no longer an option? The casual attitude about living on the edge is really amazing to me. One small catastrophe and these people will lose everything.

$1,000,000.00 Australian Dollars is about $686,000 USD. My goodness! That is a lot of money. Depending on where you live in Florida, you might be able to buy at least two 3 bed/2 bath homes. Even in my city, homes are not that expensive compared to Australia.

Seeing how struggling families live today makes me think of how my parents and grandparents lived. Struggling families live like kings by comparison and they suffer the disease of kings, over weight and all that comes with it.
Yes mr.King youre right.. the poor seem to think processed meat and nutella is the cheap way to eat. have they never heard of rice and beans
@@Tantium I have money, but I eat rice and beans every day, the plate is called a casado. A very wealthy man told me years ago, I don't mind spending money, but I hate wasting it. I have known many wealthy men and the thing we have in common is the work ethic.
you know, they look like they live like kings but they are poor as slaves (think about them spending a lifetime's worth of wages to service their mortgage). Meanwhile, your parents probably lived like slaves, but at least they were free.
Yes many are very big that have low income. Fried processed food. I made soup two nights ago. Took me hours but lasted our family three days. All vegetable.

But the question is when will it come down and when it does, how far down.

I have no debt $0. I don't owe anyone or any bank a cent. I have very few possessions to worry about and I feel great. I used to own 2 houses and land and was always stressed out. I live on little money and can do most things. People just buy stuff to fill up their houses.

Very interesting but one important factor in the reduction in spending is the casualisation of the workforce. Businesses, large and small need to rely on casual labour because of the unpredictability of sales but this in turn leads to lower sales/demand for product because people who are already struggling under a huge debt burden are holding on to their cash in case there is no work the following week.
three years on can we have a sequel episode please
Watched this a year later, australia houses soar, it will keep going. I am planning to move to desert now.
Interest rates are so low because if they were where they should at around 7-9% the whole house of cards would collapse.
Unless it goes lower, it's all going to collapse anyway.
Rohit if it goes lower it will just add air to the bubble and cause more damage when it eventually implodes. I believe we are witnessing the death of neoliberal economics worldwide and personally I’m salivating at the thought. That’s why a decade or so ago i bought gold, a lot of gold.
We all had to have new cars, four bedroom homes and 'need' to live by the sea in highly populated areas.
Also overseas buyers pushed prices up and up and ten of thousands.....hundreds of thousands...dwelling remain empty.
And then there is immigration. I'm not anti-immigration bit slow and steady immigration.
Having lost employment due to 457 visas holders being given preference in 2012 , I would rather the Government had used guest workers . As a family man with all the usual demands placed on me I found it increasingly harder to compete with backpacker labour , young single 457 visa holders that were here to work and party or the Asians who were living 12 - 15 in a house . All of them could undercut me one way or another . It was impossible to maintain our income or standard of living in WA 2012 onwards.
It’s not necessarily immigration that’s bad it’s policy look at Seychelles no foreigners are allowed to buy property you need to be a citizen there.
The problem with "simple solutions" is that simple minds think them up.
A capitalist society cannot sustain itself without constant and steady growth. There are two main ways to do that. You either increase the population through increasing birth rates to 4+ per couple, something no post-industrial society has ever done. Or you increase population by opening the floodgates to immigration. Without a constant influx of workers and consumers starting at the bottom, eventually a capitalist society runs out of enough new people to consume a nation's goods and services.
@@TailoredReaction Not that it is a problem unique to capitalist societies.

How can prices rise like that in a country that has hardly any people and abundant land, something ain't right.
That's because government is restricting land. Sydney and Melbourne account for 40% of population. No other country in the world is that concentrated in two cities. Government restricts land because they don't want to spend on infrastructures, lack of people and cost billions. Also jobs are concentrated in big cities. Further, Australian growth come from immigration which new migrants (could be language, culture and job issues) concentrate in those two cities.
Mike L
That's the globalists bringing in immigrants to prop up the real estate, because they are invested in the big cities, just wait and see what happens when these elitists get their money out, and watch the roof fall in.
@@douglee5599 Nah, most of them are from China. There are 1.4 billion of them and middle class is getting wealthy and Australia has tiny population of 25 million and a fantastic country to live unlike USA which is a mess. So plenty of those 1.4 billion people to pump our tiny population property price up. It will take thousands of years especially now China changed to 2 child policy so their population is growing (10% growth of 1.4 billion is 140 million people... many times population of Australia).
@@michaellan78 because gov owns all the non private land classed as (crown land)......such a load of crap, australia is shit.

Usually the government owns all the land, including the land your home is build on, you just have a title to use it until they want it back.

How the hell could you feel comfortable with a 1 mil loan!
Just make it the loan that you really NEVER pay. Because it's a million dollars anyway and after that would you really be needing to borrow ANYMORE' and because you're already got the money just pay IT of but in your time 💯💯 Percent 🧞
everyone in Sydney pretty much has a 1 million loan it's become common
ask their shrink
They probably make 350k a year and that house would be worth 2.5m.
We're still in the aftermath of the 2008 GFC. Nothing was resolved or fixed. In fact the malfeasance has only gotten bigger and the inevitable correction more painful than it needs to be.

Trouble when interest up or job/health issue.
Sure it's manageable at 3.3% interest rate. But it was 9% less than a decade ago, it will go up again...

Rates will never go back to 9% mate. Interest rates will remain low globally for the foreseeable future.
Core Prime I understand you have a great crystal ball but I’m interested how you come to the conclusion that after negative rates, they will go double digits ?
Core Prime In the 90’s Japan had a housing bust, the Central bank cut rates to zero (where it has remained 20 year’s later), implemented massive stimulus (still going) and where is the hyperinflation? They still can’t get inflation going.
If you want to look at what the next 20 years for the West looks like, look no further than Japan. The reason why Japan hasn’t generated any inflation despite continuous stimulus and low rates is because of their structural problems: ageing population, under employment, falling productivity and massively high debt......sound familiar?
I hope your crypto position works out for you though.
