Only YOU Can Make Your Dreams Reality!

Anthea Chiappa from Lifestyle Happy Place

Hoping and wishing wont help you to achieve your dreams. Taking action toward that dream WILL!

It's funny I say that now but at the time when I was reaching for my dream of being a home owner 🏠, the mortgage brokerπŸ€‘ told me how much I would need to get the deposit and then how much it would cost πŸ’³for the mortgage. I was scared, excited, worried that it would be a struggle BUT I did it anyway even without the total support of my partner. You see, I had to sell my carπŸš—, use all my savingsπŸ’΅, ask our father n law (bless him)πŸ™ if he could please make up the difference and we will live on the bones of our buttπŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ for as long as it takes. Well it felt like eternity because interest rates were crazy mad mega high at 11% home loan rates back then. BUT We did it!!!

And 13 years later and at 42, I live in a coastal town, with my same partner and now husband and 2x kids in a house with a pool Mortgage free!!!πŸ’ƒπŸ•ΊπŸ™πŸ’₯.

The decisions you make today can be the solution that sets you free in the futureπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŽπŸ‘Œ.

My next goal is financial freedom!
What will help you to reach your dreams?πŸ’ŽπŸ’πŸŽ“πŸ‘”πŸš˜πŸ›³πŸš€πŸ’°

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

πŸ›‘οΈ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β€” and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
