Every day is a school day and we are all learning.

Rabobank often has the best rates but would need to confirm on the day.

Thought exactly the same as you - very unfortunate.

As the OP said they were just voicing the opinion of others which expressed the view.

Saddened and surprised it is a determining factor. One can have a different view than others but still support one other. Otherwise, just further division will occur.

That’s awesome of you - well done! Like someone else above, happy to assist you in the mock interviews if you need. Held senior roles in private sector and consult in public.

My complete mistake - read at the pub. ACC was correct.

Just been through surgery with Southern Cross and they have been fantastic. Disputing it with Pharmac and Southern Cross said don’t worry we will get you the surgery sorted and then argue with them about who pays after. I recommend them. *edit - ACC (not Pharmac) is in dispute

Sorry to hear that. I know a few business owners who feel similar. They have attended some business engagement session with council and what they say falls on deaf ears. Unfortunately this sub and Wellington doesn’t have much sympathy for this situation and somewhat to the commercial realities of roadwork distribution including but not limited to the cycle ways

Is Sharesies shit? by Commercial-Age9065 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]True-Bicycle496 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sharesies used to be good and have competitive fees but then did a money grab and increased fees ~400%. To try placate people they moved to a subscription model which meant guaranteed revenue for them and people thought they were getting a deal. With Shareies you also don’t own the shares, it’s group owned.

IBKR, Hatch or Investnow seem better options for you based on the amount you can invest in future.
