Synopsis
How can Australia's ageing population free up much needed cash for cost of living, retirement and lifestyle goals? Mark MacDuffie and Michael Blythe believe downsizing is a key solution. Financial stress compounds in later years, as retirement comes in to focus and lifestyle needs and goals change. Throw in a pandemic, rising interest rates and volatile markets, it's easy to see why older Australians are feeling the pressure. Baby boomers have a huge influence on housing market conditions.
