I say nothing but found this article regarding Australia interesting and the linked articles at the bottom of the page follow a similar theme. Not sure if NZ is in the same boat but suspect it is.

Interestingly it isn't only the young who are having to cut back - many boomers are broke and suffering too.
My son (30) is following in my property development footsteps, working 2 jobs and renovating himself etc and he will be as wealthy as me way before I was (age-wise). This is without any financial help from me - just knowledge and he is willing to give it his all.

Maybe it was easier 'then' but I didn't notice (though I am at the end of the boomers), isn't super hard now if you gain knowledge and get stuck in.
