Paying off debt quicker - talk at Te Hapua Mon 3rd April 7.30 pm

Chrys Horn from Halswell Community Project

Would you like to pay your mortgage off quicker?
Over the lifetime of a standard mortgage you will very likely pay as much or more interest than the amount you actually borrow but by using standard bank tools, it is possible to halve the cost of the interest charged on your mortgage even for those on a modest income.
Money not spent on mortgage interest increases your cash flow so you pay off your debt much sooner than you could have dreamt.
The Halswell Community Project has asked Linda Hart to come and talk to us about reducing debt and the different ways in which they are, and can be structured and what strategies can help us alongside the mortgage.
Linda has 14 years’ experience helping people to reduce their debt. She is happy to share her knowledge and answer questions. If the concept interests people, she offers a further free consultation and analysis of your personal mortgage situation , so you can assess whether you want to use her assistance and see a brighter future.
Please email chrys.horn@xtra.co.nz if you are interested in attending. There are limited places so there are plenty of opportunities for questions and discussion.
Date: Monday 3rd April – 7.30- 9.00pm
Venue: Koaro Room at Te Hapua.
Cost: $3 to cover the cost of the room hire.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
