People in lower income jobs to be most affected if retirement age goes up – Chris Hipkins

Matt from Henderson

My view is retirement if going to keep going up every year or every so often, what is people our age from 30 upwards going to have when we get to that age? Has any actually thought about that? I am not being mean to anyone in respect with the retirement age going up or down, but am just concerned… View moreMy view is retirement if going to keep going up every year or every so often, what is people our age from 30 upwards going to have when we get to that age? Has any actually thought about that? I am not being mean to anyone in respect with the retirement age going up or down, but am just concerned if like my generation now, I'm in my mid 30's still young and active, what will happen if retirement age does keep going up and up? What the next generation look forward to when we get to that age? You need to think of not just older people (no respect) but what will your children or grandchildren in their 30's onwards have for an retirement? Can you see it on a bigger scale to speak? Here's the youtube clip about the retirement age with John Campbell.

Hey neighbours,

If you're looking to secure a rental property, get ready for a competitive and expensive time.

New figures say the number of Trade Me inquiries on rentals is on the up, and with the number of available properties decreasing, significant price jumps are expected in the coming months.

Auckland's median weekly rent rose to $560 in July, while in Wellington the median weekly rent has risen 10 per cent year-on-year to $530.

Are you having a hard time finding and affording a rental property?
