Think of me like Yoda,

Student allowance can't even support one, let alone a family.

Haha, yeah - that is damn true, my rent alone is $670.00 a fortnight :P

Shit, Why are you renting - you could be paying off a mortgage with that!

Mortgage would be twice that in Auckland.

It's also the amount the average Aucklander spends on coffee.

Haha, 6 or so years ago I felt the same.. however now as a father and provider for a small family I want nothing more than the perfect family home. Also, paying a mortgage for either the same I'm paying in rent or a little bit more doesn't phase me in the slightest.

I'm in the same boat as you.

However banks are easing up on the restrictions, so it's worth talking to them even if you only have a 10% deposit.



Or we could sell the boat we are in.

10% itself is hard enough as it is :( most homes worthy of raising a child in Auckland (not leaky;reasonable back/frontyard;close to good schools) are 500-650K .. that's a 50-60K deposit! that's a fucking shit load.

At last glance between myself and my partner, our kiwisaver is at 12-13k? If I could magic up an extra 40-50K that would be great.. but I'm not magic :(

Arrange a meeting with the bank to discuss a loan. When the bank tell you how much it will cost, fake a heart attack.

While everyone is distracted, partner robs the bank.

I just about had a heart attack just now, the window cleaner just descended from the roof right into my office window 9-floors up.

Maybe I should ask him how much they get paid.

Although it panes me to say, I do have a slight fear of heights and that might come across badly in my interview as I tend to be quite transparent.

Actually, I used a guarantor on the deposit - which the bank was happy with, no money actually changes hands, just the bank is guaranteed on the deposit
