One in three households can't afford property repairs
Australian households are unable to pay for critical home repairs such as broken showers, busted appliances and major structural repairs, due to the rising cost of living. New research from comparison site Finder has found 32 per cent of Australians admit they are currently avoiding or putting off home maintenance and repairs because of soaring basic living costs. This equates to 3.2 million properties that are being neglected due to affordability issues, from busted air conditioning units to leaking pipes, not only impacting people's basic living conditions but posing serious safety issues. The survey of more than 1000 households revealed plumbing issues topped the list of the most neglected maintenance issues, with one in ten people putting off repairs for toilets, sinks and showers. Meanwhile, 10 per cent of people can't afford to replace broken appliances, and another 10 per cent are being forced to ignore electrical problems because they simply don't have the means to pay for them to be fixed. The findings are frightening given electrical faults and faulty electrical appliances are one of the leading causes of house fires in Australia. Finder's personal finance expert, Sarah Megginson said it was troubling that almost three million Australians are not maintaining their properties because of rising living costs. "That amounts to a lot of run-down homes in our neighbourhoods, which could have an impact on property values and potentially lead to some homes having safety issues," she said. The research also found eight per cent of households are unable to afford major structural repairs, while another eight per cent are going without pest control and interior maintenance due to financial pressures. Megginson said attempting to keep up with home maintenance has become a huge burden for a growing number of households. "People are struggling with rents and mortgages and other living expenses, pushing home maintenance to the bottom of the list," she said. She said for many Australians, housing is one of the biggest expenses in the family budget. "From rates to insurance to pest control and then repairs and maintenance, it can feel like the home becomes a never-ending money pit. "But the cost of letting a house become dilapidated can be far greater in the long term. What starts as a small issue can escalate into something much more complicated and expensive to fix down the track." Megginson said homeowners that do not keep their property maintenance up to date also risk their insurance being voided. She said, as a rule of thumb, homeowners should be prepared to allocate a few thousand dollars per year for standard maintenance and repairs and that establishing a house emergency fund in their family budget is a wise idea. Finder research has found the average home insurance quote in Australia is $2,874 but it can vary greatly.

‘Oh mate': Couple wins lottery after entering every month for over 20 years
When Julie Croker found out she'd won a home valued at $3 million, plus $800,000 in gold, she thought she was being scammed. Turns out, it was finally her lucky day. Mrs Croker has been buying a ticket every month in the RSL Queensland lottery for over 24 years. RSL Queensland contributes to supporting veterans and their families across the state and nationally, through advocacy, employment, and wellbeing programs. It is a cause that Mrs Croker has always liked to support, and she's remained loyal for over two decades. The 63-year-old dog groomer said her husband of 34 years, Bob, had occasionally told her to stop spending $30 a month, but she'd held strong. 'I have bought a $30 book every month and we've been doing it for 24 years. There have been many times Bob said 'cancel it, we could use that money for something else',' she told 'I don't drink, I don't smoke this is my little thing I like to do,' she explained. Mrs Croker ignored her husband and kept buying the lotto tickets, but not because she ever thought she'd win, she was just passionate about supporting veterans in the small way she could. 'You dream but you never think it is going to happen. I think you'd drive yourself mad if you thought every month, 'I'm going to win',' she said. Buying the lottery tickets had become such a routine that she rarely entertained the idea of winning. But when the 63-year-old received a phone call last Wednesday, she was informed she'd won a mansion in Queensland valued at $3 million, complete with over $200,000 worth of furniture and $800,000 in gold bullion. She didn't believe it at first. 'Oh mate! I wouldn't believe it. I thought he was scamming me, and I honestly didn't believe it, and I still can't believe I've won,' she said. As for Bob, well, he has had to eat humble pie about not wasting money on entering lotteries. Mrs Croker is still struggling to accept that she has become insanely rich overnight, with no warning. 'Bob and I are very simple people and we live a pretty simple life. This is life changing,' she said. The dog groomer stressed that there are plenty of people who have done it 'tougher' but they've never been rich. If they wanted to buy something, they budgeted for it; if they wanted a holiday, they had to save up. The fact that neither will ever have to worry about money again is difficult to process, but they already know what they want to do with the windfall. The Queenslanders don't plan to upgrade or move into the mansion but will instead use the money to make their current lives more comfortable. The couple plan to remain in their home but pay off their mortgage, sell the mansion they've won and live off the proceeds for the rest of their lives. 'We will pay off our mortgage and then we've got stuff we'd like to do. We want to do some fencing on our little block that we've never been able to do,' she said. 'Bob also wants to buy a tractor!' Mrs Croker said the other bonus is that they both plan to retire; she's ready to relax and never groom another dog, and Bob is going to finally retire from truck driving. Their retirement has come sooner than either could have dreamt of and it's looking better than ever. The 63-year-old explained that they'd previously planned to retire, use their superannuation to pay off their mortgage and live off the pension. Now the couple are instant millionaires and have enough money not only to spoil themselves but the people they love. Mrs Croker admitted she still can't wrap her head around it. 'This does not happen to people like us, just common people, but it obviously does,' she said.
