I was told by someone yesterday that the statistics for NZers earning over $100k is 3% and over $50k is only 18%
At the moment we have rent, mortgage and loan (cos we are building) but take that out and we would still be poor, not struggling so much but poor so I hate to think how people in the lower brackets survive, specially with house prices and rent going up so much in the last few years.

But Family Support has gone up a lot more than housing so it's actually a bit easier.

Yep Robyn and the average anual income is about $34,000. We couldn't survive on twice that! And we don't even live extravagantly, it costs that much just to eat!

I'm with you all. We are so poor at the moment I don't even know how we'll put petrol in the car or buy food, let alone pay the mortgage....

Oi that's enough profanity from you ladies, I don't want to hear the "M" word again ok? 
And Family Support? What's that?

Me and hubby have found out about the Accomodation Supplement. It is based on your gross week to week income rather than your yearly groos wage. You can either make an appointment to see them or print out a form and send it in Working for families - accomodation supplement.
Every little bit helps!

Hey Clare, we were like that for a while too, but things have a way of working themselves out when you least expect it... The 'm' department is finally going well for us at the moment (yay for living in a small cheap town!) after much stress, so hang in there chickies
