Retiring on a budget isn't easy - so we helped
Budgeting on any given day can be a nightmare. When you are retired and trying to make a living on your pension it can become increasingly difficult getting those bills paid, purchasing all the necessities and trying to live your life too.
As life is becoming more and more expensive, Acacia Cove Village called in the expertise of Papakura Budgeting Services. At no cost, these amazing people will sit down with you, to help you prioritise your expenses, and even mediate between you and debtors. The insight that their knowledge brought to our residents was incredible. We hope to welcome them back for some one-on-one time with individual residents.
