Almost a quarter of young people say the older generations should help first-home buyers into the property market, a new survey shows.

Westpac NZ polled 1000 people about their opinion on parents assisting their children into their first homes.

It found widespread acceptance of the idea: More than half the parents said they would loan money interest-free and only 38 per cent would expect it to be paid back.

* New Products coming soon - Solid Conditioner Bars, Massage Oil Bars, Facial Moisture Bars.
* Personal experience about a valuable herb:
Olive Leaf for Viruses. I can now say with confidence it works. Last year I got a heavy cold that I just couldnt shake. I was sick of being told viruses have to run their course. I turned to a book I had on olive leaf and read how it can deal to things like herpes etc. As a music teacher taking time off is not user friendly! I had been sick for weeks and nothing was working. I got onto olive leaf and had instant results. This year, even though I have had many 'beginnings' of a bott (sore throat, sneezing, runny nose, foggy head) within hours of taking olive leaf ie taking a tsp of powder every few hours, symptoms leave and I win. I think the powder is more effective than the tablets, as I have tried both, but the powder is very bitter. Not for the fainthearted. I use a little fruit juice to wash it down.
My hope with sharing this experience is that it may also help others.
