Struggling with increases in mortgage payments?

Jen from Stuff

Hello neighbours!
We recently asked for Neighbourly members to take part in a special pre-Budget episode of Stuff's top political podcast, Tova. We had a great response.

We're now seeking anyone from the so-called "squeezed middle" who might be willing to take part. Have you recently experienced a increase in mortgage payments? How are you coping?

Please email tova@stuff.co.nz or comment below if you’d like to share your perspective with us. We give you our commitment to treat your experience with sensitivity and care.

Note: We need someone who is available the week before the budget (Wednesday 22nd/Thursday 23rd May) and on the day of the announcement (Thursday 30th May).
