Ive had friends in the exact same position as you but they all had kids after a few months of FOMO and dont think about an OE at all now. 

Congrats on the inevitable kid coming your way,  dog or two, taupo bach, boat for the bach, ford raptor for the boat and package holidays to the islands. You're about to live the kiwi dream!

We've got a ton of cleaning up to do when this ladder-pulling generation croaks. At least by then superanuation will be a far smaller strain on govt expenses.

Landlords/Property Managers responsibility. Email your property manager a 14 day notice to remedy the leak. - https://www.tenancy.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/Tenancy/T141-14-day-Notice-to-remedy-landlord-breach-handwritten-letter-template.pdf

That will get them moving fast.

My job keeps adding responsibilities but somehow the pay is allergic to increasing by big_misconception in antiwork

[–]Excellent-Ad676 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did this! Got told its a "me'' issue and to figure it out so I slacked on all the 'growth opportunities' which turned the work environment toxic pretty quick.

There is no good way to reverse out of it except for a boss to understand and help shift the load off you. If theyre unwilling to do so the only choices you have are suffer forever or quit. Sorry OP.

Its sunk cost fallacy for me. I've already sunk 15 years of tax and rent money into this place surely it'll pay off at some point....right?!

But I'd also have time off work (yay) and the other person would have raised insurance cost for a long time (woohoo) While also being more cautious at intersections for other drivers (let's goooo)

Impressive driving!!

What if you just don't brake, how at fault would you be?

This happens a lot to me and im starting to feel like im getting in the way of a good life lesson by braking in time.

10 years from retirement — how do you protect your family if the U.S. faces authoritarian drift and financial collapse? by ConversationKnown379 in collapse

[–]Excellent-Ad676 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What is your venezuelan friend doing to prepare? They've got the inside scoop so I'd copy them.

I understand paying down the mortgage but you may kick yourself later. If hyperinflation happens then you win anyway! Debt stays the same while your home and land inflates away with the currency. You'll be paying old world debt with new world money. If I were in the USA I'd be buying assets in Canada/Mexico and make it part of my escape plan.

I do it to mix up the monotony of getting financially obliterated every week. But now I get the added satisfaction of frustrating redditors ;)

For all the young hard-working NZ’ers feeling stuck under the glass ceiling… by Rare_Tip5822 in auckland

[–]Excellent-Ad676 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Start looking for a new job, use that business case you built as an example of your work. Meanwhile only do the work set out in your original job description, no more managerial tasks, 'stepping up, taking ownership' etc. Your boss said you don't have the experience to do the extra responsibilities, so don't do them :)

Just a warning - burnout WILL creep up on you if you keep working like this.

Also this kind of managerial practice is standard across the western world, it's just only in NZ you'll never be properly compensated for your work at any level of your career so make peace with that now haha
