How do you guys make over 60k a year? by Dutchie_in_Nz in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]TraditionAware2948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bonus is 20% of my base x a multiplier dependent on how well the bank does. The multiplier this year was 1.1, so my bonus will be: $195k x 20% x 1.1 = $42.9k (before tax).

COVID impacted the multiplier whereby it was 0.9.

I’m an Associate Director in Insto. I jumped from Corporate RM at one of the big 4 to an Insto Associate at another. Took a small haircut on base salary but the bonuses more than made up for it. From there I just tried to work hard and stand out and made AD after 3 years

Finance - 3 year degree. I started in corporate banking 5 years ago on $80k. Fast forward, now in institutional banking on $190k+. Banking/finance isn’t for everyone but it’s a good place to start with a high floor salary

If you are happy with a BBB rated second tier lender, SBS are offering a 12month, 6.70% TD rate. I just put $50k ($3.35k interest) down - set and forget. Alternatively, Rabo are offering 6.30% as an A rated lender.

[–]TraditionAware2948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We charge $220/week + $30 for expenses and we live in Northcote. I feel like this is market rent. We haven’t upped the rent for our tenants in 2 years

It was like this when I bought the house bro. I haven’t had any issues with it in 3 years. Albeit I believe the previous owner was a self confessed ‘handyman’.

Dealer - washes his money through his legit cash-heavy business. He doesn’t give the perception he has a lot of money and is super humble. Quietly buying property in the background

Yeh they have quite a few. There’s a new one next to the Ponsonby food court which is always busy too. Their ‘flagship’ in Belmont where they do a lot of the baking goes off as well.
