About this episode
Welcome to Episode 208 of The Numbers Game. In this episode, we dive into a controversial proposal: allowing first-time homebuyers to access their superannuation for a house deposit. We look at the political motivations, potential impacts on the housing market, and pros and cons of the proposed changes. We also explore current avenues for accessing super for property investments, the fairness of the system, challenges faced by first-time homebuyers, and the sustainability of using retirement funds in this way.

- Buying a House with Superannuation
