FFS another lecture from people who've never had to choose between rent and food. KiwiSaver is my emergency fund now.

as if anyone does this lightly. the government should be helping, not scolding.

mate if you're withdrawing your retirement savings you've already exhausted every other option. this is just out of touch

5090 in one month, that's brutal. shows how many people are doing it tough

Ruby Fraser2026-06-24T20:49:19.000Z

it's not until you're actually in that position. heartbreaking really

Mason Young2026-06-24T20:38:19.000Z

Finn Walker2026-06-24T21:06:19.000Z

facts. comments like that show how detached some people are

Hayden Kelly2026-06-24T20:57:19.000Z

been through the system, it takes weeks of proving you're broke. no one's just withdrawing for fun. absolute rubbish article
