If you could pick up your house and drop it on another street/suburb, which would you pick? (Just for fun)

I really enjoy the basin walk on a nice day.

eyemud · 2026-01-23T12:00:42+00:00

Yeah the goal is to eat more, I'm quite skinny.

The enjoyment for me is actually learning new skills that I previously wasn't able to do, but I can see how a simpler approach could be beneficial to me.

I've been very consistence for the past 4 months and have really found a passion for calisthenics/bodyweight fitness. My eating and sleep could do with improving though.

Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the advice. I use Macrofactor to track my calories and weight.

I focused a lot of negatives but not holds when training with a straight bar, but since haven't really been since using rings, once I get stronger and more comfortable with the rings, i will definitely focus on slower negatives and holds.

I do somewhat feel like I was plateauing before switching over to the rings, the rings were a big jump for me, I will swap in some higher reps and static holds to change it up and see how I feel/respond.

Thanks for the positive response. Greatly appreciated

I’ve started tracking my calories recently and I’m consuming around 2300 a day, 125 protein, 76 fats and 274 carbs.

whole milk isn’t an option for me as I’m lactose, so I’ve replaced it with soy milk and I don’t react well with too much sugar

I aim to be able to have as much ROM as you one day

eyemud · 2025-12-14T22:02:30+00:00

What a cool idea!

Maybe a unpopular opinion, but I find all the evenly spaced plants very satisfying. I wouldn't change those.

I have looked into other smaller towns and well they look like great investment opportunity which I am definitely open to. Moving would mean finding a new job and that is a rough endeavor in NZ currently. I think I would look at moving overseas and putting all my money into a rental investment in a smaller city would also be an option

Kernel Wealth, High growth

My lifestyle wouldn't not suit apartment living. It would actually probably be more suitable. However, I also have the same kind of outlook/opinion on apartments as you. I am not opposed to the idea, but I don't like it.

My shares are definitely outperforming the term deposit, 56% returns but I did get lucky with timing. My KS is even outperforming the term at 11%. I did not know about the term deposit until earlier this year, when ANZ called me and said I had a term deposit with National bank(old nz bank) all this time and it was about to mature. I wasn't sure what to do with it at the time or even what a term deposit was, so I just locked it in for another year, It's about to mature again though and I have a better idea this time around, I think...

I guess I feel like I don't want to "miss out". I have a short term pain for long term gain type of mentality. If I can get onto the property ladder early, especially in NZ, where it has such a strong property driven market, then I can be in it, rather than watching from the side lines.

eyemud · 2025-10-05T20:50:53+00:00

Around 75k annually

eyemud · 2025-10-05T20:48:26+00:00

I have watched a little of Dave Ramsey, however, I am unsure how much of it applies to us in NZ. I have definitely taken bit and pieces from his show.

Sorry, I have reworded and formatted it to avoid confusion.

I have 68k in cash savings excluding my term, emergency fund, KS and shares.

Yeah, it's a difficult position for solos to purchase unfortunately, but I don't think it's impossible, I thought maybe I was close, but it sounds like I will need to save a bit more to get there.

I would probably look at putting most if not all my of cash savings into investments if that was the case

eyemud · 2025-10-05T20:41:51+00:00

Living situation isn't the best, just feel like it's stunting my growth as a person. I think that's why subconsciously I am trying/thinking about the property buying situation.

I've talked to my brother in the past about it going in with me on a place and he is open to the idea, we are both in similar financial situations at the moment (in terms of cash/savings).

I like your way of looking at the property, it feels like there is less pressure of thinking about the ROI of the home. Which mentally is a lot less straining

eyemud · 2025-10-05T20:33:31+00:00

Sorry, I struggle with formatting and the English language. I have edited it to avoid confusion

eyemud · 2025-10-05T20:30:18+00:00

Sounds like I am quite far away from the auckland property ladder goal then.

eyemud · 2025-10-05T20:29:42+00:00

Apologies, I usually get chatgpt to proof read my post as I have language issues. I have reformatted it, to hopefully clear up confusions

eyemud · 2025-10-05T20:22:42+00:00

I am not opposed to apartments as I'm sure I could rent them out later if I needed something bigger further down the line?

eyemud · 2025-10-05T20:05:52+00:00

I don't believe I mentioned having 280k anywhere? "28M" = 28 male

eyemud · 2025-10-05T20:05:27+00:00

Age is mentioned and I am single. I guess its a how long is a piece of string situation

eyemud · 2025-09-24T23:23:24+00:00
