David Boyle, the comedian behind 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', shares some unexpected good news in this episode. Boyle dives into the Australian Government's recent decision to cut 20% off everyone's HECS debt. For those unfamiliar, HECS stands for Higher Education Contribution Scheme, a student loan system in Australia. Boyle, who has a significant HECS debt, is thrilled by this reduction, which lowers his debt from around $50,000 to $40,000.
He recounts his experiences with the HECS system and how he strategically navigated it during his university years, often prioritising financial aid over actual attendance. Boyle humorously reflects on his younger self's mindset, confident that he would never have to repay the debt. He also touches on the broader implications of this government decision, pondering how taxpayers and non-university goers might feel about funding such relief.
With his characteristic wit and candidness, Boyle sheds light on the quirks of the HECS system and the financial strategies he employed. This episode offers a blend of humour and insight, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of finance, education, and sobriety.
