    One day I'll tell my children about this thing called "interest" and how it helped these people called "savers". And we'll laugh, bitterly, from the literal shoebox that is our home.

        See you at the shoebox village pub for a drop of ale made from our tears.

        God, stop. Every time I get in a reasonable enough position to start saving, the interest rate goes down😢

        NZ$100K in the bank down there, paying sod all. Property plus mortgage may prove to be an option after all.

        I gave up on term deposits ages ago. They’re nearly worthless now. Laughs through gritted teeth.

        I wear a size 13 wide or a 14, which means I will have large shoeboxes suitable for housing families or groups of strangers willing to tolerate each other. I’ll take expressions of interest and also disgust as I become the first person to become a shoebox slum lord.
