Money matters - get the most from your hard earned money
Learn a great way to spend, save, and budget wisely. We are pleased to be able to offer another free CAP budgeting course for people in South Wellington. The 3 sessions will put you in control of your money, whether you have a lot or a little.
Our previous course was a big success going by the reviews we got. There are no catches - we run the course because we believe people should get the most out of their income and remain debt free. It is totally confidential - only you can access your data.
The CAP budgeting course gives you use of a free spreadsheet that allows you to plan your spending for as long as you want to use it. Thousands of Kiwi's, as well as people in England, Australia, and Canada have benefitted from the course.
The next course runs for 3 sessions starting on Monday July 17th, at 7.30pm, then 24th July and 7th August. It is being held at St Hilda's, 311 The Parade.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
0% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
0% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
