Older millennials, adults aged 35 to 44, had debt-to-disposable income ratios around 250 per cent in 2019, while Freestone noted that metric was roughly 150 per cent for the same age group in 1999.

Can confirm we're sitting around 250% but this is after exercising significant restraint to not take on as much mortgage as the banks would have given us. Everyone I know who bought over the last couple of years went all out and I can't imagine them being any lower than 300-350%.

Oil companies are doing exactly that right now. Talking about how green they'll be in 2050 and asking you to take personal responsibility and please recycle. It's a load of bull as they lobby the government for more offshore drilling. We're so fucked.
