ffs not another compulsory scheme. we already get taxed enough, now forced to save? get stuffed

Jack Morrison2026-07-16T23:10:00.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. we're already paying too much tax

Luca Reid2026-07-16T23:18:00.000Z

mate it's for your own good. you'll thank me in 30 years

Jack Morrison2026-07-16T23:19:00.000Z

Ruth Richardson and Roger Douglas? Those two already ruined enough. This guy's just another academic who never worked a real job.

tbh compulsory KiwiSaver makes sense. young people just can't save for shit these days

Jordan Bell2026-07-17T00:30:00.000Z

There's more to it than just that, but ok

Actually read his piece. He's got a point – we need to rethink growth. But compulsory savings is a bandaid.

Taylor Wright2026-07-17T00:50:00.000Z

facts. this guy's just some Gen Z nerd

Hana Stewart2026-07-17T00:42:00.000Z

ffs can't afford rent as it is, now I gotta save too? get outta here

Hana Stewart2026-07-17T01:17:00.000Z

same. can barely afford food

Compulsory KiwiSaver is a bad idea. I'd rather invest in property than let the govt lock up my money.

Mia Carter2026-07-17T00:59:00.000Z

lol cope. just admit you can't save voluntarily

What a load of shit. Another scheme to prop up the housing market.
