What the Fuck is all I can say……
I will Address this any way let’s get into it.
Million Dollars a day is being spent on Transitional & emergency housing used to pay for motels/Boarding Hostels and apparently it’s on the rise since last year.
From Escalating prices plus shortage of housing options we need solutions not a new bridge in Auckland that is going to cost Billons to build and takes time. Will Politicians sit cosey in their homes with good pay, benefits of air travel, car use and evening lunch all paid for by use not them by the way there is Poverty on the rise, someone needs to be held a countable for this.
From high taxes on the working class add the cost-of-living, families, new young Partners are now worrying about How much their rent is and this my friend is high. Why is this a problem for the country? If we do not have much left over means money is not being spent on the Economy by Citizens, also most are just getting by and well not living causing or at less adding to the rise in Mental health & addition. If you were on $25 an hour you would be tax at a rate of 30% this means every hour you work hard for, they take $7.50 from you. Now lets put that into 40 hours per week you end up with $1000 then tax takes there $300 you then left with $700 a week if you live in wellington a new family or couple looking to start there life and plan for a family moving into a house of there own will probably cost around $500/ $800 more or less So for this example you and your Partner would split this lets go with argument sake rent cost $600 a week so Out of your $700 your left with $400 after rent then there is cost of Power, food, internet, car insurance
Let us look at what it may cost you to just survive.
- Groceries – NZ $125 per week
- Car costs – NZ $ 60 per week (Adding Petrol, Maintenance, Insurance this could be more though. Also, this is for one car.
- Phone Plan– NZ $ 7.5 per week That is if you are on $30 a Month Plan.
- Rental housing – NZ $ 300 per week
- Power- $19 per week
- Internet- $12.5 per week
Total- $524
you had $700 now you Have $176 a week.
Now let’s look at some other cost like
- Gym- $10 more or less
- Emergency fund for shit- $50
- Having a drink or two at the pub- $20
Total- $80
Now you have $96 left, see how far this went down but imagine if you had kid on the way this would be unsettling.
Also, I would like to point out that if you wear on $23 and hour your taxes would be 17.5% this is a big drop so your pay on this would be $759 a week……
Yep, that wright you earn less an hour but earn more a week I really do not get this.
Seems that If you work hard you get penalized.
See the tax Rate are.
From 1 April 2021
| For each dollar of income | Tax rate |
| Up to $14,000 | 10.5% |
| Over $14,000 and up to $48,000 | 17.5% |
| Over $48,000 and up to $70,000 | 30% |
| Over $70,000 and up to $180,000 | 33% |
The tax needs to be looked at again for most kiwis live on around the $45,000 to $70,000 this class on its own should be around 17.5% this would mean that if you are on the $25 you would have left $825, they would take their $175 in tax you would be left with an extra $125 a week to spend on the economy or save for a child. Yes I know the Government helps and there are grants to help but they only put these in play because the more reliant you become on there funds the less independent you become they love this why Power, the more you relay on them to come in save the day more control they have and looks like they care, Again I’ll say this they only really care about is your vote to keep them in power.
We need to stop saying this is just the way it is, this most defiantly shouldn’t be like this.
Making people more Self reliant in turn makes people more self-responsible, Self-Respect and opportunity takers but in twine also bring joy of life for you are living your life your choses, the way you want too. Traditional Liberal use to believe in less Government interference to help with Growth of a nation with freedom of choice.
When more people become Responsible, go getters who feel like they will grow with more hard work being open to learning, taking chances also learning from there mistakes the country grows with it for More end up in a better earning class, spending more money, less Mental health problems bring Social connections in communities. Been Proven that when your affairs are in order in your household, causing less stress taking ownership into your own lives, you are more likely to look out side your bubble to help the Environment or community you’re in. Sadly, this Labour Party Acts like the poor’s best friend who by the way wants to keep you there they don’t help with self-improvement, Yes there are people out there who really do need the helping hand but that don’t mean we should be Enabling Laziness and if your Offended by this take a look at why and if you one of them.
Tax high, Tax hard on the working class there isn’t much they do for us for in my life of living being 27 years old never have, all I see is Brocken promises with a sea of Debt with them wanting us to pay it off. Really Thank you for that means a lot. (I’m kidding)
Now with the Emergency housing problem we should be introducing new ideas then trying to Build Kiwi homes that are well not getting built, let’s look at other options.
When Christchurch had the big earthquakes, they Used Shipping containers to help with Housing/Shopping. Since then, there have been some amazing tiny house being built out of them with enough room for 2 people to maybe 3. why not Use this Idea?
In wellington let look at the cost Roughly.
- Land- $800,000
- Power/water/Suage- $200,000
- Road/Paths- $100,000
- 10 Shipping Containers house- $300,000
Total cost – $1.4 Million
This could help 10 Students who are studying to help with student debt spending, also Helps open more houses to the working class to live in. or even Just allowing them to be rented out from the working class tell these new homes are built. Not only does this help us but also brings in income to the Government Rent each house at $300 X that by 10 you have $3000 a week income, not bad.
What I’m getting at is and hopefully I’m not allow in this belief that we should be able to Enjoy life with values of working hard to earn more or coming up with new ideas of earning shouldn’t be discouraged, allow us our rights to live the way we want from Smoking, drinking or high on Weed to eating Big macs. Unless if it affect others or puts others at risk do not get involved. Impower the Citizens lives to build this great nation not Build a nation by taking from the Citizens. Or am I wrong with this belief?
let me know in the comments on your thoughts and Ideas.
WTF NZ
