Should Twenty-Year-Olds Raid Their Pensions for a Deposit?
Published 4 weeks ago
Description
This episode examines the proposal that twenty-year-olds should be able to draw on their pensions to fund a deposit for a home. It looks at the arguments from supporters who say early access could help younger buyers, and from critics who warn about the long-term cost to retirement savings. Listeners will hear why the idea is described as a trade-off between housing now and security later.
