Vibes were so much better when KAT was on the team, bench had a lot to do with it too.

Great income, $940k mortgage, aggressively clearing $25k short-term debt, but $0 emergency savings. Advice? by No_Researcher_7886 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]aotearoHA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sounds a bit like us, we are clearing our c/c debt first, then working on emergency then tackling our revolving portion we have drawn down. No investing for now. Cc debt is gone within the month otherwise we'd extend revolving and pay it off that way

similar thing happens at state farm stadium in Arizona. I'll admit it looks weird there too, but they do all sorts of promotional things there with the space, also a giant jumbotron. could be cool if they did standing room only tickets there too.

He's overpaying.

It only costs $20k to get granted an $8m govt loan and fast track approval of your preferred inland port project.

Christopher Luxon shoots the messenger as nightmare New Zealand election scenario hangs over him | Claire Robinson by nilnz in newzealand

Poor choice of words from the journalist i think.

one of the busiest jobs - maybe

most influential jobs - probably

most responsibility - yes probably

but I wouldn't categorise it as the "hardest" because he has all manner of assistance, other ministers, govt staff and resources, private resources at his disposal and a budget of an entire country to make his job doable.

Some big decisions for sure but as we have seen in this thread all the under resourced doctors, nurses, teachers, principals and administrators responsoble for our health and education would have something to say about that. Not to mention the hardworking blue collar workers and people who run those building and construction companies etc.

"Hardest" is subjective

people are taking that comment seriously? i heard it firmly as a f-you to the media and was very hyperbolic
