5 Reasons to Work From Home

Anthea Chiappa from Lifestyle Happy Place

Working at home has its ups and downs, but for most of us the pros outweigh the cons of working at home. While our career paths, home office setups, and childcare arrangements may vary greatly, most moms find working from home a valuable lifestyle if they can make it work.

5 Reasons for Working at Home:

1# Spend more time with your kids
- More time spent at home means more opportunities to be there when the kids need you.

2# Increase or maintain your income
- Mothers who are entering the workforce can ease back into it and work on their own time frames and increase their income working from home. Or save on workplace costs if they are leaving their jobs.

3# Give up the commute
- Eliminate the wasted time spent traveling to work. Also save money on petrol, public transport and insurance.

4# Work flexible hours
- Take control of your schedule. Start early work late and have the day to do the things you love. Lifestyle of choice.

5# Gain fulfillment in all aspects of your life.
- Make time for you. Do the activities you never had time to do. Your family can have time too of course. Being self-employed in particular gains a feeling of controlling your own destiny. Create that work life balance by trial and error. Your life on your terms working from home.

Anyone can work from home these days with the future turning digital. If this is something you feel you would like to explore then dont be scared to take a look what's out there. You won't know if it's for you unless you keep an open mind and take a look at opportunities.

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.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and youโ€™re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:โ€‹โ€‹
โŒ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codesโ€‹โ€‹
โŒ Never need to know your full credit card number โ€“ especially the CVC
โŒ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your deviceโ€‹โ€‹
โŒ 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? ๐Ÿ›ป๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿš“

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?
