Great, another survey telling us what we already know. The real question is what's gonna be done about it?
waiting for that to happen lol
ffs buy now pay later is a trap. My flatmate's already in $2k debt on afterpay for clothes she never wears. 🤦
true. My sister's on $60k of afterpay debt. It's a nightmare.
Yeah nah get stuffed. Kiwibank owns this data and still charges me a mortgage rate that's a joke. Maybe if banks actually passed on OCR cuts we'd have more savings.
Preach! Banks don't care as long as they get their interest.

two in five? sounds about right. my credit card's been maxed since feb. just hoping interest rates drop soon so i can breathe.
feel that. hoping for a miracle tbh.
It's tough out there. We're all just trying to get by. At least we've got a good community looking out for each other though 💪
facts. mateship gets us through
tbh i don't even look at my bank account anymore. ignorance is bliss lol
lol same. and then i regret it when bills come.
Missed out on $500m? Who's pocketing that? Probably the same people who told us to 'budget better' while they get bonuses. Bullshit.
state of savings? more like state of denial. everyone i know is drowning but we still pretend it's fine cause we don't wanna seem weak. ffs
no but seriously, the system is rigged. we can't save if we're barely surviving.
I don't trust these surveys. They only survey their customers. Most people I work with don't even have a savings account anymore. Waste of time.
Maybe we should all start a community garden or something. Save money on veges at least haha. Stay positive team!
