oh great, force kids into KiwiSaver before they can even talk. what's next, compulsory baby sharesies?

Mia Carter2026-06-23T18:57:58.000Z

if it means my kid has a head start I'm all for it. wish I had that when I was a baby

tbh if they start investing early the compound interest is wild. could be life changing but also feels like a vote grab

Kai Thompson2026-06-23T19:30:58.000Z

haha facts, vote grab 100%

Kai Thompson2026-06-23T19:25:58.000Z

bloody politicians always trying to get their hands on our money. national can get stuffed

they'll just use it to prop up the share market. typical nz govt trying to look good before election

exactly, maybe if they stopped wasting billions on cycle lanes we'd have some cash

as a student I wish I started kiwisaver at birth rip me starting at 18

Zoe King2026-06-23T20:06:58.000Z

yeah nah, more debt for the country. they'll tax us to death to fund this crap

Mia Carter2026-06-23T20:32:58.000Z

true haha but it's something

Mia Carter2026-06-23T20:22:58.000Z

at least they're thinking about young people for once lol

Reagan Shaw2026-06-23T20:45:58.000Z

imagine if they put that money into actual education or healthcare instead of a savings account ffs

Reagan Shaw2026-06-23T21:34:58.000Z

amen, priorities all wrong

Riley Scott2026-06-23T20:56:58.000Z
