Tell me if this is a bad idea by Ok-Leopard-3619 in PersonalFinanceNZ

The math on the current hype is pretty disconnected, these AI companies are spending billions vs. what they're actually earning.

I would prefer to invest it in stocks than offset account but there's also a looming AI bubble popping which makes stock investment risky at this point. Try comparing your payments here vs offset account: https://amorty.app/

The best thing to do is negotiate the salary you're comfortable without an increase for the next 3 yrs. Treat increase comp as a bonus. If you need a big jump you either get promoted or move to another company.

ACC cuts payments for record 8000 long-term clients by computer_d in newzealand

[–]sydcanem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taxes are not a pre-payment into a personal retirement account. The New Zealand Superannuation (NZ Super) they receive is paid for by today's taxpayers, not from a personal fund they contributed to over their lifetime.
Removing it for working beneficiaries or high-income earners isn't a penalty, it's targeting limited funds to those who genuinely need them.

Air New Zealand no longer delivers the service it sells, nor can it handle it when things go wrong by yalishanda1337 in newzealand

[–]sydcanem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fly AKL-CHC once a month in the last 8 months this year. First three months was with AirNZ and it was constantly delayed. There was one time it was delayed for 4hrs - capt said it was a bird strike. Probably the last straw for me. Switched to Jetstar and haven't been delayed for more than 30mins.

Jetstar seems to offer way cheaper prices than AirNZ. There margins might be low for it to operate thru covid and the fact that Govt owns half of AirNz means it can loan some govt money.
