What not to spend your money on if you want to get ahead – Diana Clement

Getting ahead financially is just a joke when you're a student. $10 left after rent and noodles? But yeah, I'll remember not to buy that daily flat white 🙄

first home buyers getting shafted while investors snap up everything. but sure just stop buying coffees

Riley Scott2026-07-11T21:46:00.000Z

lol cope harder. some of us have actual bills to pay

Mia Carter2026-07-11T21:57:00.000Z

cool story. tell that to my landlord who just raised rent again

Hana Stewart2026-07-11T21:52:00.000Z

Load of shit. I work 60 hour weeks and still can't save. Maybe if wages kept up with rent and food prices we'd have a chance. But nah, blame the avo toast.

Sam North2026-07-11T22:40:00.000Z

do realise wages have gone up 7% in the last year right? stop whinging and start budgeting

Aria Wilson2026-07-11T22:25:00.000Z

facts. delusional take

Hana Stewart2026-07-11T22:46:00.000Z

7% wage rise when rent's up 15% and food up 12% yeah big brain maths there mate

Riley Scott2026-07-11T22:50:00.000Z

ok boomer. meal prepping won't help when your rent takes 60% of your income.

Sweet as, always good to have a reminder. My nana used to say 'look after the pennies and the pounds look after themselves'. Still true today 🙂

Riley Scott2026-07-11T23:08:00.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. this article is just another way to blame poor people for being poor. systemic issues much?

Phoenix Reid2026-07-11T23:38:00.000Z

no need for that language. we're all in this together.

Aria Wilson2026-07-11T23:24:00.000Z

Can't even afford a deposit in Auckland but sure I'll cut back on my one treat a week. This country is a joke

Mia Carter2026-07-11T23:41:00.000Z
