    Woohoo – they did it !!  Another 0.25%.  Be still my heart….

    ‘scuse the dripping sarcasm.   Opinions still seem to be mixed about whether there will be more drops or not.  Many say 3 more this year (and our re-elected Treasurer is one of them) and yet others say “Not so fast” – tariffs could impact inflation yet !!!

    I’ve heard the average saving from the 0.50% drop is around $200 a month.  If that is so, then the 13 increases totalling 4.25% must’ve cost (on average) about $1700 a month.  So I don’t think too many will be leaping for joy just yet.   Still, it seems the RBA have learned the lesson of “Make a move then sit back and wait a bit (like they used to).

    Time will tell, and I don’t plan to hold my breath – how about you?
