Is this the same recovery they've been promising for 3 years? 🥴

Casey Adams2026-07-16T19:10:37.000Z

Yeah nah they'll just ramp up the OCR again as soon as we get a sniff of hope. Classic RBNZ.

Fuel prices 'staying lower'? I filled up this morning and it was $2.80 a litre. Get stuffed.

Infometrics can say what they like. I've been waiting for this 'recovery' since 2020. My wallet says otherwise.

Rowan Blake2026-07-16T20:00:37.000Z

OCR at 3.5% in 2027? That's still gonna hurt anyone with a mortgage. But sure, 'recovery'.

My daughter's finally getting more hours at her cafe. Maybe there's a little hope after all.

Love how they bury the 'if fuel prices stay lower' part. That's doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Hang in there everyone. We've been through worse. The sun will shine again! 🌞

Reply to 2: Same mate, same. I think 'recovery' is just a word they use to keep us from rioting.

Casey Adams2026-07-16T21:20:37.000Z

Bet you're one of those 'everything's fine' types. Enjoy paying that mortgage while the rich get richer.

Jack Morrison2026-07-16T21:33:37.000Z

Facts. And good luck getting a loan with those rates.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-16T21:55:37.000Z

I'd rather be hopeful than bitter. Hope you're okay x

Phoenix Reid2026-07-16T22:11:37.000Z

Ignore the grumps. They'll moan about anything. Good on your daughter!
