I read a heart warming story in the herald this morning. There is a group of (mostly) NZers whose pay rises are keeping pace with the rise in Auckland property prices. It appears that the CEOs of large companies pay has been increasing at roughly 20% a year. So there you go it is not all doom and gloom. All those moaning layabouts without houses need to do is become the CEO of a large company and their financial and housing problems are history.
