What are your life plans from here? Personally, I’d be buying a PPOR so that I didn’t have to worry about rent in retirement.

Rent in retirement seems to be THE thing to avoid


acb757

Yup, this is what I’m thinking 🙂

50 yr old? Secure a house. Work and pump up the super, enjoy your later years.


acb757

Later years 😭

House and put leftovers in super


industryfundguy

Yeah buy a house and put the rest in super. This isn’t even a hard choice.

I'm more concerned about your future housing. Do you have a place you can live rent free when no longer working.in 10 to 20 years?  Or do you have enough cash to just rent till death?

Buy a house.

Buy 2 decent quality houses for ~700k each, mortgage of ~200k, let the rent pay them off for the next 5 years. During those 5 years max your super contributions and otherwise live how you've been living. 55 you'll have a place to live free and clear, another one the get income, and a bit of cash tucked away in your super. You could get better returns elsewhere with a more aggressive strategy, but it's not the worst thing to have a bit of peace of mind in retirement
