🚗 A Couple Of Things Worth Knowing This Week
If you're keeping an eye on the household budget, there are two developments worth noting.
⛽ Fuel prices may soon increase. The temporary discount on fuel excise ends this weekend, so expect prices at the bowser to gradually rise over the coming weeks.
🏡 Home buyers are becoming more cautious. Two of Australia's major banks have reported a noticeable decline in mortgage applications, suggesting many borrowers are taking a more measured approach before committing to a property purchase.
Neither of these developments is a reason to panic.
However, they are a timely reminder to review your household budget, cash flow and longer-term financial plans.
If you'd like to discuss what these changes could mean for your own circumstances, our team is always happy to help.
