Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I definitely do use my credit card for the meager airpoints it gets, but it’s never an amount that we can’t pay off fully every bill.

Same here, we definitely use a credit card, but we aren't paying interest on it. The one time I messed up and ended up with interest, I got the bank to write it off 😆

We’ve just decided not get any nice furniture or redo the carpet until the kids grow up. They destroy everything anyway 😂 still rocking our free hand me down couch and dining set even though they’re pretty worn and have battle scars from the kids

Haha yeah, we're the same. When I was younger my parents said the same thing too, they would say they would get a new lounge suite when all the kids left home. When I left home they went and got a new one (I wasn't even the last to leave so I guess they were just waiting for me to leave), and the day it was delivered I was there visiting and the only one home at the time. I got it inside, put it together, then spilt a coke on it... and of course cleaned it up and never spoke of it 😆
