An interesting report came out this week about budgets: the average household spending has only gone up two dollars a week since 2023.
50-percent of respondents said they're actively seeking out discounts and promotions - and 30-percent downgrade brands.
It's one thing to be spending less on non-essentials, eating less, or wearing cheaper clothes, but sometimes that can chip away at our mental health and confidence. So how can we s...

42 councils have held referendums on Māori wards - 17 areas have voted to keep them, while 25 have voted to remove.
The wards have been a flashpoint for debate - there were protesters in Kaipara last year when council voted to remove it.
Te Pāti Māori has described the decision to remove the wards as “racist, targeted attack on Māori, for being Māori” and that it's "an assault on Te Tiriti"
Last year, David Seymour said he'd vote a...
We hear lots of horror stories about parenting - from the accidents that cost us a hefty bill, the arguments and bickering we bump into as they get older, the worries about our what they're doing when we're away, and the concerns of how social media's affecting their mental health.

A few weeks ago, a developer pre-sold most of its eight planned heritage-style weatherboard townhouses in two Auckland projects.

I think regardless of your views, most parents would be pretty hesitant to allow their teenager to head off into a warzone. But truly,...
House prices have been flat or are falling, it's hard to miss.
Many owners are trying to quickly sell up - whether it be to fund their retirement, or simply because the rental market just isn't as profitable as it used to be.
Analysts reckon this will mean a lot of younger people finally getting the opportunity to get on the property ladder. But there's one thing keeping a lot of potential buyers hesitant...

It's mental health awareness week from tomorrow, and you might ask what the hell has it to do with nutrition, but food has more to do with your mood than people realise.
The types of foods you consume can have a not only an impact on your physical health, but your mental health too.

Foreign Minister Winston Peters made the announcement in a speech at the United Nations General Assembly yesterday, grouping New Zealand with a small handful of countries who have also decided not to make the move.

The World Health Organisation estimates over a billion people between the ages of 12 and 35 are at high risk of hearing loss due to unsafe habits.
