🍐 I am Alister, 66 years old & if the pension was all I had to live on I would not love my lifestyle like I DO!
🍐 My retirement plans took a big hit in my 50s due to the 2008 GFC. Too old for jobs I went looking for a profitable business. I felt secure purchasing a very successful juice bar in a high foot traffic area as it was tangible & successful for the previous owners.
🍐 Long story short I ended up with a mountain of debt & stress, lost my equity & marriage & in my early 60s found myself broke, emotionally drained, single & living alone in rented accommodation. Driven by the retirement lifestyle I envisaged I believed there was a vehicle out there that would allow me to turn all of this around.
🍐 I engaged specialists to bring me 3 authenticated, legitimate business models. The best fit for me was this online business within an organisation that is a global market leader in the Personal Development Industry.
🍐 In just 20 hours a week, no experience, a very modest investment compared to traditional businesses & franchises & expert training & support I have grown my own fun, freeing online business. The uniquely generous compensation plan & leverage is an excellent vehicle for wealth accumulation & has been for over 15 years for New Zealanders & around the world.

To win the Taieri seat, Labour's Ingrid Leary and her team attended 134 street corner meetings, knocked on 4150 doors, phoned 11,000 voters and delivered 50,000 brochures.

Leary said she was ready to start work for the electorate, and be part of a strong southern team in Parliament.

Leary relocated from Waiheke Island to Dunedin last year, where she previously went to law school.

She has an impressive CV, including an award-winning career in broadcasting, and a more recent role as the director of the British Council.

Leary said her whole career had been about “creating a space for voices who don't get heard”.

Rachel Brooking​ is celebrating her birthday with a new career.

The Dunedin lawyer, who turned 45 on Sunday, has made it into Parliament as a Labour list MP on the back of the party’s strong election results.

At number 46 on the list, Brooking is now packing her bag and making her way to Wellington, so any birthday celebrations will have to wait.

Brooking said she has had a life-long interest in politics and was one of the people appointed by Cabinet to review the Resource Management Act. She is interested in environment law and hoped to help the Government implement its policies, particularly those surrounding the environment.

Why not treat yourself to a bloke’s day out for a grooming WOF? Just be wary of the barbershop – between the bay rum oil, hot towels, banter, and leather chairs, you won’t want to leave!

Bevis, a resident at Ryman’s Anthony Wilding Village, recently received a gentleman’s makeover. The day began at the barbershop where Bevis and his barber Kohl shared plenty of laughs. Next up, a personal stylist helped Bevis select clothes he looked and felt great in. Being pampered isn’t the norm for Bevis but based on his smile, we’re confident he loved every minute.
