National showing a real lack of a spine with Simon looking out of his depth with his amateur questioning and Paula walking out. Keep this up and they will need to get comfortable in their seats
Only $50 extra a week she says. That is $2500 extra per year which is a significant amount for someone that is struggling. In subsequent years, her any raises she gets will be on top of her new higher pay, not her old lower pay. This means the gap will continue to get bigger for her. Also, if she has SKY TV then she is not doing everything in her power. SKY is a luxury, not a bare bones necessity.
How do these children demand such high salaries? Unbelievable. Bridges was right that National need a cleanout - but he incorrectly left his and Paulas name off the list.
Work that you want to do, not have to do. Exercise. Volunteer. Play sport. Travel. Spend time with friends and family. Read. Study. Do nothing. Start a business. Learn a hobby. Teach. Gardening. Go to the beach. Hike. Just to name a few. Anything. Sure beats stuck in traffic, BS meetings, health and safety, intolerable colleagues and an incompetent boss. There are so many things I would rather do than work a job I dont want.
So we have bad drivers, bad bikers, and bad scooter riders. Seems to be just a law of percentages. According to the media maybe we should just all stay at home all day
So the economy doing well is because of Nationals previous 9 years of work, but the petrol prices are because of Labour. I see how this works now. Pick and choose
This is not profit! More real estate propoganda. Profit is after costs. The median $180,000 quoted in the article includes no costs such as mortgage interest, house insurance, rates and maintenance. All costs of owning a home that should be deducted from the sales price before even considering calculating the profit.
Actually the TMO would not have ruled against Hillary climbing Everest. You know why? Because he did. FACT. Just like Lawes was offside. FACT. To rule otherwise would be outside of fact. TMO is great for the game because without them there would be so many more bad decisions and supporters would complain even more than now
Or they could take stay in the market and take advantage of the cheap shares on sale. Stock investing is a long term strategy. If you are willing to pull out during a crash then you shouldnt be investing in the first place. As you near retirement, then you can look to go more conservative
but Bridges said lack of business confidence was on labour before the results came out. So if the economy tanks in the next year would that still be national? Where do you draw the pick and choose line?
I agree that Australia have done many things against the spirit of the game, but this is not one of them. Fair play to them. Id expect NZ to do the same in this situation
Read again - The study was based on lower quartile housesReal Estate Institute data showed that it would take 16 years for a household on the average Auckland income to save the $134,000 deposit needed for a lower-quartile house, based on average income and expenses
Marginal? If he was any more offside he would have been in Perenaras pocket. How does letting that go make the game beautiful? I thought it would be better to watch when there is good distance between the backlines and forward packs
Percentage is correct. If you use a dollar amount that wont work for different people. For example, $500,000 goes much further for someone who only spends $40,000 a year than it would for someone who spends $70,000 a year. A dollar amount doesnt consider tyour annual spending. A percentage does.
Wow thats news to me. Apparently National can rule government without a coalition. They dont use working groups. And they dont make poor decisions. I guess dealing with facts is no longer relevant, thanks for enlightening me.
Core logics core business relies on people taking interest in property prices. Guess who that is? Homeowners. So yes they do have an interest in people owning their own homes. It pays to research and comprehend
I have a house and an apartment and the annual costs of the house are much higher than the apartment. Yes, apartments have body Corp fees but that includes the insurance cost. Apartments have much lower annual maintenance costs such as roofing, guttering and other general repairs which is a significant amount with a house where more things break
You said the previous government can take credit. My question is how long do you continue to let previous government take credit? 2 years? 3 years? 5 years? Where is this magical cut off?
Living local you really need to read again. The author is clearly referring to 20% deposits. How many years would it take for a renting household to save a 20 per cent deposit, if they saved all their money?
What insightful commentary, not. No one thinks any game is a done deal from this point on. Yes, we ill be favourites, but absolutely no guarantees of anything at this point.Does something this obvious really need commentary?
This is all part of the risk of owning an investment property. Any asset that has the potential for good gains carries risk. If you don't understand this you shouldn't be investing
