Do you know any 'Boomerang Babies'?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In previous generations, children left home at 18 years old and became independent. Now with student debt and the increasing cost of renting and buying a house, we are seeing the rise of the 'Boomerang babies' who stay or move back home for well into their 20's. Is this good for our communities and have you noticed it in yours?

Poll: Have you kept trinkets from your life?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Many of us are sentimental about our childhoods and lives, and some even collect things to remember moments or people.

Share what you've held on to over the years and whether you still have it today. Feel free to share photos too, we'd love to see.
