We are getting a townhouse built in Hobsonville so we can be on the shore and still get to the city easily.

Very nice! We would love to do that but are sadly amongst the many that can't scrape together enough for a deposit. It's such a shame because affordability is not the issue.

We are very lucky although we will be living on beans and toast for a long time. NZ has some plans to help first home buyers but I didn’t qualify for the grant because I earn more than the threshold and the house we wanted was too expensive. So we are being punished for working too hard. Otherwise we could of got $20K from the government for the deposit:(

Quick Q do they at least give you the eye in a jar to impress your mates with?

ha ha. They did ask if I want to keep it.

 

I thought of using it as a short term babysitter. Placing it on the kitchen counter and taking the wife out for dinner and telling the kids to behave because daddy is watching.

 

But no, I declined.
