Debt Reduction Talk

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 and enables you to 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 mortgages and the different ways in which they are, and can be structured.
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. A link to her website is provided below.
Date: Tuesday 14th March – 7.30- 9.00pm
Venue: Koaro Room at Te Hapua.
Cost: $3 to cover the cost of the room hire.
Bookings: Numbers are limited, so to insure you get in, please book a place by responding below or contacting Chrys on chrys.horn@xtra.co.nz or 027 286 8653 to reserve a place. Enquiries welcome.

Morning Aches Are Optional - Let’s Start the Year Sleeping Better

Marketing Manager from Beds4U - Hornby

Hey neighbours,

Waking up with sore shoulders and stiff mornings? Here’s the plot twist - it might actually be your mattress (and pillow) letting you down.

It’s the perfect time to upgrade. New Year, New Bed! Our Boxing Day Sale is still on, so why not treat yourself to a mattress that actually supports you and helps you wake up refreshed? Side sleeper? Back sleeper? Tossing and turning? We’ve got tips and solutions for every kind of snoozer.

Don’t settle for mornings that hurt, your bed should work with you, not against you. Curious about how your mattress could be affecting your shoulders? Check out our blog: beds4u.co.nz...
