Minimum wage, no help and on the ladder at 25: here's how they did it

It really offers a lot of hope for folks who might be looking at the property market and wondering what on earth is happening out there these days.
Courtney and Ben were tenacious and bold, and now they're living happily in their Hawke's Bay home.
Have a read and see how they did it, and while you're at it have a listen to our third episode of First Rung, the podcast for first home buyers for a little more inspiration.

The Arahoe School learners are among 10 finalists from around the country chosen for their efforts to improve the world around them.
The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ aims to thwart avoidable blindness in the Pacific and to give people permanent access to quality eye care.
Arahoe School teacher Amanda Kemp nominated Zoey, 10 for the awards.
Zoey was diagnosed with cataracts in 2019 and only had sight in one eye for a year.
"She possesses the most outstanding attitude towards her school life, is a leader amongst her friends and her can-do attitude has not slowed her down,' Kemp said.
In July, the Titirangi youngster had her cataracts removed "and this has not impacted her attitude towards all she does any differently."
Amelia, from Glen Eden, was nominated by her teacher, Bridget Dymock-Johnson.
Amelia,11 showed great initiative and spent time researching the Fred Hollows Foundation NZ before delivering her speech in front of the class.
"Amelia is kind and helpful.
"When someone doesn't have a group she invites them to join her," Dymock-Johnson said.
"Her words towards others are always kind."
