Great, the US market is booming while we're here with house prices through the roof and wages that haven't moved since 2017. Typical.

My KiwiSaver finally went up a bit this quarter. But I'm not holding my breath, June was rubbish.

Good news for those with investments I suppose. Hope it keeps up for everyone's sake.

does this mean my student loan balance is about to look even more sad? asking for a friend 😅

Anyone else feel like this is just a bubble? Seems too good to be real after all the crap the last few years.

you're the one who needs to wake up. Diversified KiwiSaver funds track the S&P, so it matters.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-01T00:19:21.000Z

Lol at the people saying this is good for NZ. Our market is tiny compared to the S&P. Wake up.

my KiwiSaver is about $5k up from last year. But inflation ate $10k worth of buying power. So yeah, fun times.
