Breaking into the property market 

When it comes to making serious financial decisions, it can be daunting. What's even harder is taking a long, hard look at your finances, realising where the shortcomings are and plugging holes that you don't really want to see. After all, we all really want to have our cake and eat it too.

So, when you and your family are looking to finally buy property, not only is it important to take that look at yourself, and your spending habits and plug the holes, but you need to have a plan.

Well, that's what Ben Nash from Pivot Wealth tells Joanne from Melbourne when it comes to finally breaking into the property or housing market.
