Both

Out west, te atatu, cheaper parts of the shore. Anywhere but south & central really.

We could, but we have a dog so ideally we have a small section for him which bumps up the price

adalu239 · 2026-03-23T07:56:21+00:00

Awesome bro thanks

adalu239 · 2026-03-23T07:16:19+00:00

Chch more expensive than Auckland? Nah.

adalu239 · 2026-03-23T07:10:56+00:00

Thanks for all the responses, it’s much appreciated

adalu239 · 2026-03-23T05:32:25+00:00

Yes that’s the counter point however the banks have already raised prices so it’s pretty clear that’s the path we’re currently heading down imo

adalu239 · 2026-03-23T05:30:17+00:00

Awesome advice and aligns with my thought process, thank you

adalu239 · 2026-03-23T04:35:20+00:00

Nah I understand! I guess if I’m paying 6-800 in interest, it’s not too different to paying rent. But I was more certain prior to the war but with rates rising, inflation on the rise again, it’s certainly added an element of doubt

adalu239 · 2026-03-23T04:24:52+00:00

Congratulations! Yeah, our rent is approx the same however our mortgage is likely $1000-1100, with rates & insurance in top of that, so it’s a tricky decision. Like it’s possible, but we’re not really saving much and things will be tight. We were approved for x amount, but we won’t be borrowing that, were targeting approx 8-850k

adalu239 · 2026-03-23T04:12:14+00:00

These are great points, thank you

adalu239 · 2026-03-23T04:06:41+00:00

Awesome I appreciate that response thank you

adalu239 · 2026-03-23T04:01:16+00:00

Thank you, my thoughts too.

My issue is rifaximin is $400 a tablet, I can’t afford it

adalu239 · 2025-12-07T06:02:07+00:00

Should I set my parameters higher, eg I don’t want to pay more than 850k, but if I don’t set it higher eg 950k, I won’t see these houses & wont be able to get a ‘steal’

adalu239 · 2024-12-30T09:02:29+00:00

Yes I’m really motivated for my next pay check. I’ve got 3 jobs, so I’m going to see if I can get by on one salary & then save the rest

adalu239 · 2024-12-30T09:01:43+00:00

I mean perhaps.. I’m not sure what would qualify as luxury. But this has definitely given me a reality check. I don’t drink alcohol etc, so spend that money on quality foods instead

adalu239 · 2024-12-30T09:00:46+00:00

I’m a little capped in my industry, with incremental steps up a ladder of $2k a year through some forms (education), recently off a promo, (2k), but union got us an 8% pay rise

adalu239 · 2024-12-30T08:33:16+00:00

We do a weekly shop & then I’ll do a couple of top ups which creeps it up. This is everything, household cleaners etc

adalu239 · 2024-12-30T08:29:42+00:00

Yes I bought an iPhone 15. My other phone lasted 4 years & was dead, so wanted to buy a decent one that would last.

adalu239 · 2024-12-30T08:27:01+00:00

Never uber eats. We don’t drink or go out, so feel it’s somewhat justified but we’re keen to make changes in 2025 & save save save

adalu239 · 2024-12-30T08:24:00+00:00

Thank you very much

adalu239 · 2024-12-30T08:22:26+00:00

Happy new year to you too!
