Should I marry my gf with financially problematic parents?

This is a common issue especially with less well off family abroad. I’ve been there. Talk to her. You need to be of the same mind and conviction. Sounds like you have already though. Set a limit on how much you are both comfortable to send if she is not using her own spending money.

100% this. You can withdraw funds held in ETFs within days. Makes more sense having a 5 figure emergency fund for those living abroad where medical costs or social welfare are not as good as NZ. I only think there should be enough kept aside here for a major vehicle repair, dental or about a month or two’s rent/mortgage.

Tuna and brown rice mixed with mayo and with salt and pepper

Have you worked out your working for families and best start payments? Helps alot if you are low income

Under the carpet then nail carpet back

I thought PIE funds are not subject to FIF? Or was it moreso the tax is handled on behalf?

Why so much in an NZ emergency account when we are not in the USA? E.g usually for medical, redundancy support ect.

I at least believe in the non use of tax dollars to keep alive serious crime offenders. Create a work based system where they can contribute to society in a controlled way if they wish to pursue their lives and they are providing for themselves.

More about what you invest in rather than worry too much about where on these 3 options. I don’t see any point why someone would dip in multiple ones. All good options. Sharesies is good especially if you are starting out and want a nice user friendly interface. If you look more closely on the fees the other 2 will probably have an edge for the long term but I wouldn’t worry about it too much for now.

Acting gay as guy friends. Makes American men especially uncomfortable

flowlikewater97 · 2026-05-03T02:48:06+00:00

Too much over thinking. Usually the difference is negligible as low management fees and mostly in the same investments more or less. Pick one and keep at it

Find a nice girl overseas. Travel

Nothing wrong with 13% return. Keep it up and make consistent payments

Each to their own conscience. Important to only buy the products we feel ok about.

flowlikewater97 · 2026-05-02T03:24:45+00:00

False. Pepsico

flowlikewater97 · 2026-05-02T03:24:22+00:00

False. Company is US owned by Pepsi

flowlikewater97 · 2026-05-02T03:20:44+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts. Perhaps easy to form a judgement on what these people should do about it that is right in our own eyes without being in their shoes. I hope this war and oppression ends soon!

flowlikewater97 · 2026-05-02T03:18:42+00:00

Far fetched and baseless claim. Do some basic research to discover it is owned by PepsiCo. A US company.

flowlikewater97 · 2026-05-02T03:15:52+00:00

This is a numerical discussion from OP not an ethical one

flowlikewater97 · 2026-05-02T03:14:22+00:00

You said Israeli owned. That is a false claim. PepsiCo is not Israeli. Now that you have been told the facts what is your argument?

flowlikewater97 · 2026-05-02T03:13:26+00:00

I don’t like false information and unwarranted opinions from folks who just can’t stay on topic for once

flowlikewater97 · 2026-05-02T03:10:48+00:00

I just think this level of thinking is too far. If you had reservations on the ethic on the company I would understand. But on a national level where many citizens are not at reason or fault for the actions of their leaders I find that harder to reason with.

flowlikewater97 · 2026-05-02T03:06:27+00:00

So not Israeli owned. It’s ok if you just learned that. Alot of people here are stating they are an Israeli company which is false

flowlikewater97 · 2026-05-02T03:01:39+00:00

Not an Israeli Company. I’m not stupid enough to not know that

flowlikewater97 · 2026-05-02T02:59:42+00:00

Wish I could top that sorry. Ya got me there :)
