A lot changed over the weekend. Not only did the fuel excise tax cut come to an end on July 1, but a raft of other changes took effect, some of which you might feel in your wallet.

You’ve also got the next 39 years to watch NZ super collapse into dust before you get a chance to have it.
Pains me to say it but I can’t imagine I’ll be in NZ in 10 years. I love this country but the grass is looking a lot greener elsewhere.
Every country has their failings. But if you are in a position to be able to head overseas, I encourage you to do so!
You might go forever or it might turn out the grass wasn’t as green, but it will be a life shaping experience either way.
I’m a kiwi but hold a dual citizenship so have spent a fair amount of time overseas. End up coming back cause I miss NZ too much but as I’m getting older and need to pick somewhere to base myself for a while it feels hard to justify NZ, from a career perspective. That said, it’s also hard to imagine leaving again.
100% agree though, I find a lot of my peers who endlessly talk about how much they hate NZ haven’t really lived outside of the country. Not that that’s a reason not to criticize NZ but at the very least living somewhere else for a while gives good perspective.
