if you're taking home more than 10 grand a month you can live pretty happily anywhere in the world unless you've decided you need a 1/4 acre lot in monaco or something

people here talk about shares as part of their income because their company literally gives them the shares [or sells them at a discount]; do you have 6-9 months of living expenses in in savings? do that first. I usually buy etfs/stocks in increments of $1000, unless there's some nz equivalent of robin hood transaction fees are going to put a big dent in it if you invest $100 at a time

if you're making tech figgies this is probably bad advice. just keep a line of credit around for emergencies. even if you need to wait for the stock selling window to open that's probably ten, twenty bucks of interest and in the meantime you can invest all that instead of letting it rot in a savings account.
I lost my job, better borrow a bunch of money to get by in the meantime what could go wrong [yes I know you could sell some stock if you're invested]

aaaaanyway, financial advice is like diet advice or dating advice there's general rules but everybody's different [everyone should support local arts though]
