Getting your Debt/Mortgage paid of quicker
We have a few spaces left for the debt reduction talk on Monday 3rd at 7.30 pm at Te Hapua
The Halswell Community Project has asked Linda Hart to speak about how to reduce debt and particularly how to pay a lot less interest on your mortgage by paying it off quicker and using a range of bank tools to maximise the benefits to you and your family, rather than to the banks.
The session has small numbers and allows for people to ask questions and to clarify the principles that mortgage consultants work on. If you like what you hear or would like to discuss the principles further, Linda offers a free consultation to assess your own individual situation at a time of your choosing.
To book in for the talk, please phone or text Chrys on 0272 86 86 53 or email chrys.horn@xtra.co.nz
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
