Righto, another rate hike. Just what we needed. Guess my mortgage can go suck a egg.

lol budgeting tools won't fix this mess but thanks for trying xx

ffs, the reserve bank clearly doesn't care about working kiwis. This is gonna kill small businesses.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-08T05:55:22.000Z

that to my business bank account. Bunch of clowns in Wellington.

Economics student here. Actually makes sense with the inflation spike. Gotta cool the economy somehow.

yeah nah get stuffed. Labour's fault for printing money now we all pay the price

Peyton Hall2026-07-08T06:16:22.000Z

this. Banks just looking after themselves as usual.

Jordan Bell2026-07-08T06:37:22.000Z

it's not just Labour. Global inflation mate. Do some reading.

Aria Wilson2026-07-08T05:49:22.000Z

tbh I'm just trying to save for a house deposit and every time they hike rates I cry a little inside

Alex Rivera2026-07-08T06:15:22.000Z

Pretty sure the bank knows what it's doing. Trust the experts I reckon.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-08T07:01:22.000Z

Don't lose hope! Maybe look into KiwiSaver or some budgeting tools?
