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.

    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.
