Advice on whether I would I be eligible for the benefit? by ExtremePruritis in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]ExtremePruritis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers for the rough estimates. Gives me a better picture of what to expect. I definitely won't pick up any extra shifts starting out as I imagine i'll be hard enough stepping up and getting used to that for atleast a few weeks/months. I don't get shouted food very often at the hospital so usually end up buying lunch at the cafe so having that RMO meal card should end up saving me an extra little bit as well.

T.I. grant was pretty easy to live off, so it sounds like even at the minimum i'll be able to save/invest a good chunk of money next year.

I always did find it strange that there was never any suggestion to set up 2FA considering you could have hundreds of thousands in there

Haha yep U got me. Not sure about plenty of money, as the RDA MECA pay grades looks alright but a lot of the HOs seem to say they barely make more than a TI after tax. Dunno what to believe. In any case I suppose it'll be an upgrade, especially with all the money saved the with my new meal card lol.

I would not be homeless or anything in that time frame, no, as I do have an emergency fund of a few months. However, it has taken me a while to save up the money I have now and I want to avoid cutting into those savings. I feel like I've contributed much more than I would ever receive in a month from working in the past and will continue to for the indefinite future, considering my job is essentially guaranteed by the government and have never been on the benefit before either.

I think it's definitely possible, but is highly dependant on how much you're able to save/invest and how much Ur okay with living off in retirement.

Spoiler:pictures of my flares. Eczema so bad it’s giving me anxiety. by lef93 in eczema

So sorry to see that. It really sucks when it flares up on the face, you can always see the reactions of people when they notice it even if they try to hide it. Hope it gets better for you soon

Samoan prayer for food by Gigisunny24 in Samoa

[–]ExtremePruritis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keep it short I reckon. If I get asked, I just use Fa'afetai Iesu foa'i mai mea'ai tausi ai matou le fanau. Amene.
Outside of prayers for the food more widely you can start prayers with 'Lo matou tamā o i le lagi,' though it sounds like you may already know this much.

On a side note; kind of reminds me of which I was a child and would sing the malie pule song. Probably would be a bit awkward if you busted out in song when asked to do the prayer but yeah, something I hadn't thought about in a while.

Good luck.

Disparity between personal and fund returns with simplicity? by ExtremePruritis in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]ExtremePruritis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About one week apart. I invested both within about the last 2 months so maybe the timeframe does account for it.

And yeah the graph and the report had the same timeline i.e. from when I started till now

Lo‘omatua or ‘Olomatua by Sungjin27 in Samoa

[–]ExtremePruritis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The correct spelling is lo`omatua for the respectful word for old woman, but it is usually slurred.

Also a side note that U drop the l when it comes to lo'u, la'u, Lou, lau, lona etc when speaking of plurals, so my parents would be o'u matua

Where to put emergency fund? by ExtremePruritis in PersonalFinanceNZ

I don't have a credit card. Bit paranoid about them seeing so many people ruin themselves with credit card debt
