My Condolences

To all those in the Samoan Communities- both here in New Zealand, and in the Devastated Country itself, I offer my most sincere sympathy to all those that have been affected by the earthquakes and tsunami.

I pray that you will be able to get through this and that the loss of life will not be excessive (a relative term as I think even one life lost is excessive). I know a number of people from the community, and my heart goes out to you all.

Be Strong, and rescue all that you can.

KiwiSaver Savings

Up until recently, I have been of the opinion that KiwiSaver was not for me. Not because I didn't think it necessary to save for my retirement- I think this is very important! But more the fact that I didn't want the government having anything to do with the investing of my money!

I thought that Mr. Cullen had devised a way to get his greedy little hands on my money to use at his whim (money other than the tax he was so willingly grabbing every week). I didn't like the idea that a government could risk my money, in a way that I was not willing to allow.

I have been enlightened.

I seems that, other than making sure the programme goes ahead, the government is taking a back seat. It does not invest the money, nor does it store up and use it. Quite simply, after it has come out of my wages, the government doesn't see it again! On the contrary, it is private firms, the one I choose to be precises, who direct the investing of those hard-earned dollars!

Anyway. All that to say this. If you are in KiwiSaver, or are not in but want to join, please consider FidelityLife to be your fund provider. A New Zealand owned company, FidelityLife offers a few little extras to make your KiwiSaver just that little bit better. But enough said on here- if you are even a little bit interested, please email me at jayceedistributors@gmail.com.
