Struggling with increases in mortgage payments?
Hello neighbours!
We recently asked for Neighbourly members to take part in a special pre-Budget episode of Stuff's top political podcast, Tova. We had a great response.
We're now seeking anyone from the so-called "squeezed middle" who might be willing to take part. Have you recently experienced a increase in mortgage payments? How are you coping?
Please email tova@stuff.co.nz or comment below if you’d like to share your perspective with us. We give you our commitment to treat your experience with sensitivity and care.
Note: We need someone who is available the week before the budget (Wednesday 22nd/Thursday 23rd May) and on the day of the announcement (Thursday 30th May).

Poll: Have you ever had a scary flight?
A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
