Neg gearing if anything means you are providing discounted rent to a tenant.
If a neg geared investor can go out and buy another property why can't a similar person without that funds sink? Simply because they are not willing to make the sacrifices to do so.
If they really wanted to fix housing cost its land they need to look at. My first block cost 10k for 800m2 and it cost something like 80k to build. Now a similar block would cost me 200k+ and 170k to build.
I think my family is a good example of life choices.
Myself PPOR and 3 IP's atm. Equity for 4th but cash flow issue currently.
Brother has 1 car and nothing else to his name.
Sister 5 acre block and a 350m2 McMansion (With partner), nice cars, holidays every year.
Brother has spent the last 15 odd years ******* his money away even when parent were letting him live in an IP at heavily discounted rate.
However its always someone else fault. Be it my investing, parents helping me/my sister more (lol) or the government taking too much of his money.
The average youth today does not blink at spending $100+ on a mobile bill. I'm still on a $10 plan. It's those kind of choices that have got me ahead.
