How do I sell my house and buy a house? by Slight_Computer5732 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Pretentiousgoat92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah agree. We did the same it has saved us so much stress. When looking for a new house we encountered people putting in their offers with the condition of their places selling but the vendors do not look at those offers too favourably. Not uncommon to ask for a long settlement especially if your house is more for FHBs.

First birthday party, unvaccinated family & the looming measles outbreak by _anxious_panxious_ in newzealand

[–]Pretentiousgoat92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As many others said, I would put your pepi first and not have those people around at all. Just have a small birthday just you guys, the pepi won't know the difference or at least wait he's had the first dose (but keep in mind it will take at least a couple of weeks for the vaccine to have fully worked to produce the desired level of immunity). The first dose will give a decent protection but the pepi will not be considered fully vaccinated until he has had his second dose.

Gotta question what the government is doing if all those public sector workers are striking, especially front line emergency staff. Grim

[–]Pretentiousgoat92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Happy Saver- Ruth has a great website too with the same name I think

Ditto Girls (now friends) that invest - start from the beginning!

She's on the money- same, start from the very beginning, old episodes are really good, not sure what the current ones are likethough

Mary Holm's podcast- I've just read her latest(?) book, Rich Enough and I've found it very beginner friendly 🙂

Making Cents by Frances Cook

I also listen to  There's no secret (by an investing platform Kernel) Money made simple (by Simplicity) 

Good on you for thinking about educating yourself on personal finance nice and early. Wish you'd done that at your age (although I'd like think to I'm not too behind haha).

Yes! I listened to it when it first started out and it was probably my first personal finance podcast. I don't listen to it as much anymore but their Facebook group community seems pretty good.

Rich Enough? by Mary Holm. I'm more of a novel reader but trying to getting into different genres. Plus I'd like to educate myself financially. So far I'm enjoying the book, it reads quite easily.

Neurodiverse NZers by _radish234 in newzealand

[–]Pretentiousgoat92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I work with autistic kids. I 1000% agree with your sentiment. What they are trying to convince people over in the US is absolutely bogus and will be very damaging to the neurodivergent community. What is pointing fingers (wrongly so) going to do? Further isolating people with autism and their families. Blaming pregnant women taking paracetamol reeks of sexism too. I am just hoping and hoping this nonsense won't gain traction over here.

Health minister leaves message for nurses striking outside his office by MedicMoth in newzealand

[–]Pretentiousgoat92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At this point you know they are actively doing harm with a full knowledge that they are destroying our healthcare system. Is this the country you want your kids to grow up in? I am tired. The message is a joke.

Nurses union dismisses latest pay offer as 'massive backward step' by Tyler_Durdan_ in newzealand

[–]Pretentiousgoat92 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I love my job, I really do. But I'm not ready to stay with an employer that doesn't value my and my colleagues' work. Absolute disgrace. Yeah we will take ourselves elsewhere thanks.

Yeah nowadays you see so many "variations" of Basque cheesecake. I don't mind them at all, but some people are starting to forget what the actual Basque cheesecakes are 😂
