Poll: Would you help your kids out with buying a home?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

OPINION: Over the past year, I’ve had the same conversation with many Waikato families again and again.

Would you help your kids out with buying a home? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
