So, what? You're saying we're in for another 2022? Hasn't the world been slowly digging itself out of that slump this year? This is getting ridiculous. Reduced spending isn't going to fix anything or help anyone. Keep taking risks, invest in big name companies you can trust and have a good track record. If you want that new car or phone that you've been eyeing up go out and buy it, just make sure you can pay it all off if you don't have the cash upfront. That's sort of thinking and spending is what will get us out of this. Has done in the past.

I wouldn't trust the American stock market at all at the moment. Hell, I wouldn't trust most  not with banks going bankrupt. The economy is just far too volatile and you stand a greater chance of losing money than making it as of now. Unless you want to incorporate a dollar cost averaging strategy you ain't getting nowhere fast.

Yeah that sounds about right. When most of the world see New Zealand as such a privileged country most forget why so many are fleeing to Australia en-mass every year. Cheaper food, accommodation, more jobs and better pay, and now only 4 years of having to live in Australia to get citizenship. It's a no-brainer and I've been thinking about doing it myself... Poverty is a very real thing in New Zealand and our government doesn't very much give a crap about that. 

What difference would it make. New Zealanders are the ones that will still be paying through the nose for it. On average over in Australia everyday essentials like groceries are around 25% cheaper across the board. Of course there are factors to consider like more competing markets but on average little things like that are still cheaper. And our government wonders why more people are moving to Australia.

"Correction." Translation: a lot of people are going to lose a lot of money. Might be time to put my money into an interest account.

I couldn't give a rats ass if farmers are grumpier. I've worked in a dairy industry for years so I've seen first-hand just how much they are fleecing this country for profit. It's about time there are price cuts in the dairy industry.

All of this market turmoil because some greedy arsehole wanted land that was never his to take.  Way to go, human race.
