Have you recently observed your broadband expenses creeping up?

According to our recent Neighbourly poll, a staggering 80% of respondents have remained loyal to the same broadband provider for over 5 years, and within that group, a whopping 80% have been with their provider for more than 10 years!

Staying loyal could be costing you money! By switching providers, you could save over $300 a year.

If you're currently under contract, here's a tip: set a reminder for the 11th month to compare your options. This way, you won't get automatically rolled onto higher pricing. It's your chance to keep more money in your pocket!

Don't let rising costs get the best of you. Explore your options and save big - check out Broadband Compare and Power Compare to compare different plans and providers!

Painting Te Waihou walkway

Last week I made it to Te Waihou Walkway for the first time. After lugging my painting gear 10 minutes down the track, I found a great spot and settled in to capture the view.
It was so lovely to chat to lots of tourists and passers-by, and I couldn't resist letting an art loving 6 year old girl paint some of the grass with me. I think it made her day and mine!
Looking forward to ticking off some more spots in the upcoming weeks.
You can follow along my painting adventures at Rosanne Croucher Art (facebook & instagram)

Donella enjoys simple and perpetual charitable giving

Donella Graney likes to give back to her community, so being in a position to do so, has made regular donations to a range of local and national charities for some years.

“They all do a good job and are screaming out for money, and with the health-related ones you never know when you will need them yourself,” she explains.

However, Donella was finding that her charitable giving was requiring time and attention, and that she was getting a lot of mail due to the number of groups she was supporting.

“Then a few years ago I listened to a speaker from Momentum Waikato who gave a talk to my women’s group Tuahini,” says Donella.

“I could see that placing money into the care of Momentum simplifies your giving, and that it means your donating can continue forever.

“Some monies then came my way from investments made by my late husband Richard, so I decided to set up my own fund at Momentum, with the income going to the charities I choose.”
