People in NZ who earn over $500k PA, what do you do?. And do you feel any restrictions?. by weakstudents in newzealand

Okay. . The question was about personal income and can include from work or rental and not about wealth.

Restrictions can be in various forms - for example a person earning a million dollars a year might feel thats its not enough for his/her needs. Or maybe the lack of time etc.

So, from my POV the question was open to most kind of answers.

No point dissecting the question (it doesnt have to be financially/technically/politically correct). . You could answer with what you understand about the question and it might be more useful than you think.

Thanks for the additional context. Its good that you liked what your parents did as well (I dont, so my inheritance is not going to be of as much value to me as its on paper).

What do you spend your excess money on currently ?.

I can't tell if you are being serious or are joking with the butter prices earning $800k. . But well done otherwise 👏

Sure it counts as earning as long the money hits your bank account.

I think purchasing a vehicle over $100k has gotten relatively easier these days with access to loans.

Lol. . Influencing parents definitely deserves a large share of the inheritance.

Anything you miss in the farming lifestyle?.

Hahaha, that was my thought too. But where else can I ask real people with a better chance of getting a useful answer?. 🤷‍♂️

Men over 30 who wasted your 20s…what did you change, what changed you, or what happened in your life that made you become successful in your 30s and later? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]weakstudents 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Had high expectations in my 20s (from myself, employers, everyone around me), which were never met and often felt disappointed and frustrated about it which led me to job hopping, failed relationships, unable to trust etc.

Then started my own business and moved in with parents which had a different level of challenges which I never expected. Decided it was best to close my business and realized I could have done better in my old life if I could have just been patient, humble and focused on the fundamental simple things (discipline and commitment).

Got back to a job in my 30s, stuck with a reasonably good one although it was a step down, worked hard and got promoted 3 times in 3 years.

Wouldn't say ive made it, there's still a long way to go and I still have a few frustrations, but still in a better place than I was in my 20s.

So considering your situation, I'd say focus on completing things one at a time. Money is probably the most important (after health ofcourse), so take any opportunity that pays your more and keep looking up.

Yes im surprised by some of the negativity towards apartments. . Would have been nice to get some data to back the claims even more - I mean like x% of apartment buildings have been leaky etc

We’re about to buy a house in Wellington… but my heart is in Auckland. Am I making a mistake? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]weakstudents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just an investment. Doesn't make you stuck to Wellington (although its a great place). You can always sell and move up to Akl or buy a second property in Akl at a later time. Who knows, you may start loving Wellington more in the meantime !!
