Money Mail 262 - I Needed A Battery. I Found A DIY Wonderland
I ended up venturing into a large department store for the first time in ages. DIY and home improvement aren’t exactly my forte, so I don’t have too much reason to go into these stores. But walking into that store was an eye-opener. I was blown away by the sheer volume of things you could buy for your home. I started jotting down some of the wildest items I saw, but you probably already know Luke and to save you the punishment, my two favourites were hot water bottles for your neck and ribs (ideal if you’ve just spent $4,000 on a smoker next to the meat fridge).Hey thanks for listening!

Money Mail 261 - What 20 Years Of Investing Taught Me
May 2025 marks 20 years since I purchased my first share. I was fortunate enough to start learning about the stock market at high school. At 16 I got Mum to co-approve a share account for me and bought my first stocks. I bought 520 Auckland International Airport shares for $1.94. Here's what I have seen and learnt in that 20 years.
