New Zealanders more financially confident, though not always well-off

Yeah nah, I'm 'financially confident' cos I've given up on ever owning a house. Ignorance is bliss I guess 😂

Grace Patel2026-07-02T04:27:47.000Z

What a load of shit. Confident doesn't mean well-off. I'm confident I know how to budget, but I'm still paying half my income in rent.

Sage Lawson2026-07-02T04:51:47.000Z

nah fair point. I'm lucky and I know it. Still, article's about confidence not wealth.

Honestly I feel pretty good about managing my money, but that's cos I've got a good job and no kids. Can't imagine how parents do it right now.

here! Good to see some common sense. People just love moaning on the internet.

Good to hear some positivity for once! My neighbours are all doing okay, we look out for each other. Better than the doom and gloom on here all the time.

same. Feels like I'm just waiting for the next crisis.

Another fluff piece from Stuff. 'Confidence' doesn't pay the bills, Susan. Try doing some actual journalism.

Grace Patel2026-07-02T05:27:47.000Z

ffs the government probably paid for this 'survey'. what a joke.

Noah Bennett2026-07-02T05:41:47.000Z

stuffed. 'Common sense' is ignoring reality. Most people I know are struggling.

Grace Patel2026-07-02T05:58:47.000Z

lol cope. My rent went up $50 a week last month. But sure, we're fine 🙄

Sage Lawson2026-07-02T05:45:47.000Z

Idk, I feel like people are always gonna complain. Yeah things aren't perfect but we're not exactly in a depression are we.
