Income verification becomes more thorough, often requiring several…
Pension consolidation can be a useful way to simplify retirement planning by bringing multiple pension pots together into one place.

The problem is that number is almost certainly too high – and using it to make a real housing decision could quietly put you into financial stress without you realising it until it’s too late. The reason is simple, and it’s a flaw baked into the methodology of most rent calculators in Australia: they run the 30% affordability…
