| 633412 | 2008-01-25 03:15:00 | A couple of years ago when paying for groceries at the supermarket I was about to key in my PIN when I noticed that the amount being deducted was $5,000 when it should have been $50.00. The checkout girl had not pressed the decimal point button hard enough. Unless you are able to spend $5000 or more in 24 hours it would be declined as "over system limit." | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||

| 633414 | 2008-01-25 04:47:00 | Why have $5000+ on your eftpos card account anyway? Don't pretty much all banks have their decent-interest accounts as online-only ones without an eftpos card? | george12 (7) | ||
| 633415 | 2008-01-25 05:42:00 | Revolving credit accounts are sometimes a little more useful than money in deposit accounts - and the unused portion may be higher than 5 grand. You may find this when you buy your first house. | Mercury (1316) | ||

You may find this when you buy your first house. You 'if' you buy your own house. House prices in NZ are the most expensive in the world when compared to income, so many people are not bothering buying. I am however predicting house prices will stagnate for a few years at their current levels, as credit becomes harder and more expensive to get and maintain, and house prices may even drop back 10-20% |

| 633417 | 2008-01-25 07:25:00 | The property cycle is relatively predictable. The Doom and Gloom merchants go through this stage approximately every 7 years. Houses are always affordable - if you stick to the basics and think outside the square. |

| 633419 | 2008-01-26 05:31:00 | "Morality is for those who can afford it" What sort of bulls**t is that. Morality does not encompass affordability but the ethics that the individual has to enable him/her to live with themselves and others. Also to be able to sleep well at night. You may well find that the most moral people are those that you define as being unable to afford it. One would have to question those that have more than most - how did they manage that, presumably by often having less morality than the majority. Hello Mr Fay and Mr Richwhite wherefor art thou now? |

Many property developers too would fall under that, see www.stuff.co.nz |

The rich have abused the poor down-trodden work to the point that the only way to get more then the crumb of food handed out between beatings is to give up your morals and steal from the oppressive bosses. Its all very black and white...... |
