Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the community here. Due to a series of bad luck my husband and I were facing the start of 2023 with an income of $12,000 a year and depleted savings. The advice I received here was able to help get us through and then out of dire poverty and I can’t thank...

BTW: THANK YOU @babymi3 and @michaelas for offering to donate to me. It really helps me to get through these requests. It kills me when i see people unable to have nutritious and adequate diets because of their financial situation. While I have never been in poverty, I do budget, spending...

Does anyone know what two degrees charges per day and per unit (kilowatt hour)? I am considering bundling phone, broadband and power. Two degrees isn’t exactly forthcoming about their power pricing. I can’t find anything online. I found a post to r/NZ that said they charged 30c a day and 60c...
