First Rung: Debt Free Diva saves deposit for first home in 12 months

One of the best things about working for homed is all the inspiring people I get to chat to. One of my favs, and the most inspiring was Tracey Hemingway, who as The Debt Free Diva offers advice and guidance on getting your finances under control and working for you.
She knows what she's talking about, too. Not only did she smash more than $90k of debt in three years, but in the year since she paid it off, she's saved enough, on top of her Kiwisaver, to pay the deposit on a home of her own.
It wasn't easy, and Tracy would be the first person to tell you that! But it is doable. Check out how, and have a listen to our episode of First Rung about Settlement day, on this link below. It includes some tips from Tracy on setting up a budget to manage your finance when you have a mortgage to pay.

Reno blogging saved one couple $35k... but it didn't come cheap

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

I've always thought of reno blogging as a way to document a difficult process in a fun, relatable way. The benefit? Emotional support and maybe advice from folks following your journey - and maybe a little ego bump from showing off your mad wallpapering skills.

I've always thought of reno blogging as a way to document a difficult process in a fun, relatable way. The benefit? Emotional support and maybe advice from folks following your journey - and maybe a little ego bump from showing off your mad wallpapering skills.
If you're lucky, and good, you might be given a couple of cans of paint from your local hardware store, to help you on the way - but that would be the icing on the tip of the social media cake.
Few of us would have the energy or knowhow to turn their reno into a part time side hustle that's both creatively fulfilling, and engaging.
But that's exactly what Moochstyle's Shayden and Georgia Whipps have done - with some pawsome help from their gorgeous dog Frankie. They've been blogging their Christchurch villa reno since they bought their home and Shayden shared their story with us for the final episode of First Rung, our podcast. A first time homeowner and renovator, Shayden is such an inspiring guy to chat with. He makes you want to jump in and give it go. Check out his story and let us know what you think.

2 x Stolen Mountain Bikes - Harwood Road - Mt Wellington

Uluaki and Mary from Mount Wellington

Hi Neighbours,

Hi Neighbours,

My son and hubby's bike was taken from our carport this afternoon. Baba and I went for a walk around lunch time, the bikes were still there - around 4pm is when we discovered they were gone. My son uses it to ride to swim training at Panmure Lagoon - he is a competitive swimmer for Mt Wellington Swim Club.

Cheeky too as the said person/people WAITED or seen us walk out (long driveway at the back) and then made their move. So - if anyone saw anybody with 2 mountain bikes still chained together coming along from Harwood Road - please let us know.

In the meantime - he will have to catch the bus to training which I have been trying to avoid him catching public transport (pandemic...)

Unfortunately we did not etch anything into the bike - I had told him to chain both bikes to the carport pole but he said "no one ever comes down this long driveway anyway) - It's just a block of 4 units.

This is the only pic I have of his one.

Thank you
