Did you see the KiwiSaver changes announced with the Budget?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

In a bid to boost Kiwis' retirement savings, and increase local investment, the Government is increasing the default KiwiSaver contribution rate, to 3.5% next year and then 4% by April 2028.

The current default rate is 3% but that will incrementally increase to 3.5% from April 1 next year, rising to 4% from April 2028. Employers will have to match the default rate.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
