Life in Hastings was good for Sian and Jason Veerkamp. Sian, 36, worked as a beauty therapist for 15 years and then as a dental receptionist and Jason, 36, as…

Ah yes, another NZ couple cashing out on the housing bubble to fund a 'dream life' of vlogging. Original.
yeah exactly, imagine being stuck in a dental job for 15 years. let them live
cmon mate, don't be a hater. they're living the dream
good on them honestly. better than being stuck in a 9-5 until you're 65, life's too short
They sold their house in Hastings? That's brave. Market's a bit shaky right now but hope it works out for them.
You're right, I hope they don't come back crying when they can't afford a house again.

market is fine, people said the same about Auckland in 2020 and look now. Bad financial move imo.
sounds like an awesome adventure! their kids must be so excited to see the world 🌏
Must be nice to have that kind of savings. Meanwhile I'm still renting and can barely afford a trip to Rotorua 😂
'stuff over people' attitude. They could have done both - kept the house AND travelled. Bad planning.
bet they'll be back within a year when the youtube money dries up lol
nah they're not gonna regret it cos they're experiencing life not watching some investor get richer
I give it 6 months tops before they're begging for their old jobs back. The vlogging market is saturated with these 'influencer' wannabes.
ffs you're all so negative. let people be happy for once 😴
good luck to them i say. takes guts to quit everything and go for it. plus it's the kids who will remember this forever not the stuff
Fair play but that house they sold is probably gonna be worth double in 5 years. Hope they don't regret it.
