A married person gets a pension of $817.32 a fortnight, before tax, compared with the $990.20 received by a person sharing with someone who is not their spouse or partner.
“I have a friend who isn't in a relationship, but she's sharing a house, and they share all the expenses, and she's going to end up getting $172.88 more than me a fortnight which is just plain wrong,” said Daphne, who did not want her last name used for privacy concerns.
The combined fortnightly payment for a couple is $1634.64.
The Ministry of Social Development said people in a relationship were more likely to share a wider range of costs and resources than a single person living with another adult.

Shout out to the lovely Bonnie at Urban Hair and Beauty who did a fabulous job of my hair recently.
My hair was quite yellow and knotty before she made it look so amazing!

Need to get rid of old large 2 seater leather sofa. Structurally very sound but is very "used" with a big tear in one of the leather seat cushions. Repair is beyond my skill set but may suit a keen DIYer. Free to anyone but also happy to pay someone to remove it from Lincoln and dump it. … View moreNeed to get rid of old large 2 seater leather sofa.

That’s why Ryman villages plan ahead by offering independent living in apartments and townhouses, assisted living in serviced apartments, resthome care and, in most villages, hospital and specialist dementia care.
We offer a higher ratio of care in our villages so that if your needs change, you have priority access to our care centres.

I have noticed and been aware of food as early as I can remember. Even now, as an adult, I can recall different types of food at friends’ birthday parties as a child. When I was eight, I first became aware of my body. My stomach was sticking out and some friends I was with, were talking about their flat tummies - I immediately pulled mine in – as we were dressed to go swimming in our togs.
