She knows what she's talking about, too. Not only did she smash more than $90k of debt in three years, but in the year since she paid it off, she's saved enough, on top of her Kiwisaver, to pay the deposit on a home of her own.
It wasn't easy, and Tracy would be the first person to tell you that! But it is doable. Check out how, and have a listen to our episode of First Rung about Settlement day, on this link below. It includes some tips from Tracy on setting up a budget to manage your finance when you have a mortgage to pay.
I've always thought of reno blogging as a way to document a difficult process in a fun, relatable way. The benefit? Emotional support and maybe advice from folks following your journey - and maybe a little ego bump from showing off your mad wallpapering skills.

If you're lucky, and good, you might be given a couple of cans of paint from your local hardware store, to help you on the way - but that would be the icing on the tip of the social media cake.
Few of us would have the energy or knowhow to turn their reno into a part time side hustle that's both creatively fulfilling, and engaging.
But that's exactly what Moochstyle's Shayden and Georgia Whipps have done - with some pawsome help from their gorgeous dog Frankie. They've been blogging their Christchurch villa reno since they bought their home and Shayden shared their story with us for the final episode of First Rung, our podcast. A first time homeowner and renovator, Shayden is such an inspiring guy to chat with. He makes you want to jump in and give it go. Check out his story and let us know what you think.
6 clean full fleeces free to take away. In big plastic bags. Use them as weed control even. Must pick up from Ohau.

(See photo) It seemed happy on my kitchen bench and quickly multiplied its sticky traps and added a fascinating flower. (second photo )But there was no stopping it. It became very crowded with increasing numbers of both new and withering leaves so that it was no longer very interesting as a subject for photography. But a larger and beautiful leaf has appeared and I couldn't resist the temptation. I had to bind other leaves together, and pull them out of the way by tying the string to a couple of chairs. (3rd photo) It is now recovered and back to its crowded normal.

The Poor Knights' Island Lily is something I have just recently seen. I am keen to (either) be given one or some plants or buy, please.
Presumably the flowering season is just ending so whether its a good time to (pot) plant I do not know, perhaps you can advise.
Thank you - I look forward … View moreThe Poor Knights' Island Lily is something I have just recently seen. I am keen to (either) be given one or some plants or buy, please.
