Living the mortgage-free dream
Hey neighbours, if you're looking for some housing inspiration, check out Joanna Bagley's story of how she achieved her dream of living near the ocean, in a mortgage-free home with stunning sea views.
What's your home dream? Do you have a similar mortgage-free vision or plans to build your own place? Are you a renter who's always looking for new ways to make the place your own? Maybe you've already found your forever home... We'd love to hear your stories and any advice you may have for others looking to do the same.
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)
.
