What's with all the complaining, it's a trader forum, you know, capitalism, the free market and all that, I'm happy with all the money I made the last 18months.

Does it make you all feel better to moan at how much money you made?(or didn't lol)

The green eyed monster lives within some of the posters. We need a group exorcist.

....and the beneficiaries of government policy do not like to contemplate change. We do indeed need a happy medium

...and increasing numbers of 1st home buyers are taking the risky capitalist approach to try to save for a 1st home! Sharesies has introduced many to equities.

The forum is great for share investors. Avoid this "homebuyers are screwed" thread if you do not like moaning! The thread title sets the tone? However home ownership crops up in other threads, such is its importance.

This and a couple of other threads have been exceptionally informative about how to make money, in property mostly and equities a bit. You just have to scroll the in-between stuff, it happens on all forums.

This thread is discussion about NZ home ownership (quite obvious). My original though upon joining this forum was more discussions around investments in shares. But like everywhere in NZ, discussion of houses seems to be highest priority in terms of investing. No different to here.

First home ownership is not falling.
They have been one of the biggest benefactors of low interest rates.

Of course it's not. Homeowners don't buy their second home first.

True. My neighbours are first home owners - bought just after they got married in the 1980's sometime. Perhaps they should have played the ladder game but they liked their home. Back then, when they bought the home they could afford the deposit for a good size family house big enough to raise their kids, when they had them!

You shouldn't judge thy neighbor, they could be secret multi millionaires.

Like me .
