Household debt...and assets

One important point to remember with debt. As long as the debt taken on is to purchase an asset which is appreciating at a faster rate, and serviceability is not a concern, then the situation is sustainable. Understandably higher debts run higher risks if asset prices start falling and/or interest rates rise markedly. The chart shows household assets and debt to income on the same chart for proper comparison.
