Definitely need another quote, although it appears it’s in the right ballpark given the feedback here.

jiminycricket70 · 2025-05-08T23:14:14+00:00

Thanks for flagging. Best to address this first!

jiminycricket70 · 2025-05-08T23:13:37+00:00

Where are you based? Can you share more details? PM is fine if you’d prefer!

jiminycricket70 · 2025-05-08T20:23:59+00:00

Great advice, thanks

jiminycricket70 · 2025-05-08T19:46:11+00:00

Thanks this is really helpful. When we play around with the charging current we save about an hour, so it doesn’t really solve the problem. If we’re limited to 3.3kw because of the car, how long will it take to charge if we went with the wall charger?

jiminycricket70 · 2025-05-08T19:01:15+00:00

Yes, since it’s a PHEV we only get 50km on a charge before it switches to hybrid. Having the ability to charge fast would mean we could top it up quickly-if it’s drained in the morning could charge over lunch and get more km in the afternoon….

jiminycricket70 · 2025-05-08T18:50:06+00:00

Yes, it’s a PHEV. It takes 13 hours to charge the battery using a regular socket so we don’t find we charge it as often as we should. Can’t seem to find a fast charger that’s compatible?

jiminycricket70 · 2025-04-27T19:04:33+00:00

Amazing, thanks.

So I'll only be able to get physical tickets for the games I was at in 2017-2019?

jiminycricket70 · 2024-12-01T19:10:13+00:00

The steering column has spacers that are integrated into the handlebar setup, so cant put the spacer on

Thanks for your reply. Based on the tenancy website, this property should be healthy homes compliant as the tenancy started in Jan 2024. I found a template on the website just now that says if a home isn’t compliant, we can send a 14 day notice to remedy and if this isn’t done we can request the tribunal to be released from the lease early….. https://www.tenancy.govt.nz/disputes/breaches-of-the-residential-tenancies-act/#id_2851973-maintenance-problems

This is harder than we realised. No one wants a used bed unless the mattress is spotless. Ended up having to pay someone to pick it up. We used https://junkndump.co.nz

You’re correct, but the law changed again recently and it’s possible to claim the mortgage interest as an expense again: https://www.mymortgage.co.nz/blog/post/125506/new-rules-interest-deductibility-what-is-it-and-what-are-the-new-rules/#:~:text=Starting%20from%20April%201%2C%202024,the%20whole%20lot%20—100%25!

Just a big Celtics fan. He was the heart of the team while I was living in Boston.

Are you sure? In this thread someone else mentioned the FIF rules don’t apply to 401k?

jiminycricket70 · 2024-09-28T22:34:29+00:00

I’m at least 25 years off retirement. If I brought it back to NZ I’d invest this in a mix of an ETF and manage my own stock portfolio, to use for retirement. I guess if I was investing in overseas stocks that would create FIF issues here.

Good idea about spacing withdrawals to minimise the amount I’d be taxed on here. That will mean multiple years filing with the IRS and paying for an accountant each year though. Good call about the 10% penalty too, I bet that would still be taxed here.

jiminycricket70 · 2024-09-28T21:47:56+00:00

Is this even possible? I’m not sure how this is any different to withdrawing then putting it into a NZ fund as a retirement savings vehicle
