First Rung: Debt Free Diva saves deposit for first home in 12 months

One of the best things about working for homed is all the inspiring people I get to chat to. One of my favs, and the most inspiring was Tracey Hemingway, who as The Debt Free Diva offers advice and guidance on getting your finances under control and working for you.
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.

Did you know that volunteering can be good for your mental health and, by extension, your general wellbeing?⁠
Here's five ways that volunteering is good for you:⁠
1. It gives you a chance to meet new people, make connections with your community, and maybe even make a new friend!⁠
2. Research shows that helping others or doing something for the community reduces stress because it turns your focus outwards.⁠
3. If you volunteer outdoors, you will become more connected with nature/Papatūānuku.⁠
4. Helping others gives you those warm and fuzzy feelings and will leave you feeling fulfilled.⁠
5. Volunteering can give you a great sense of purpose and remind you that you are an important part of the community.⁠

Rural water users challenge Kaikōura council plans to treat their water

Water supply users say the Kaikōura District Council should have talked to them before coming up with expensive plans to treat their bore water.

Like councils around the country, the council is upgrading water supplies to meet the New Zealand Drinking Water Standards before the government's new water regulator Taumata Arowai takes over next year.

Council operations manager Dave Clibbery has recommended splitting the East Coast scheme in two, building a $100,000 treatment plant for Clarence and having farms switch to rainwater for domestic use, at their own expense.

The East Coast scheme supplies 21 rural properties and 13 households in Clarence village, with the bulk of the water used for stock.

The bore supply has never been known to cause illness in its 44-year history.

But the Ministry of Health considers no bores safe after the 2016 Havelock North contamination episode in which 5000 people became ill and four died, and the area is on a boil water notice.

A spokesman for the East Coast water users, Bob Todhunter, said members of the scheme had not been consulted on their views.

Reno blogging saved one couple $35k... but it didn't come cheap

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

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.

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.
