Cate Owen @cateowen.bsky.social

Guess who has two thumbs and has gone conditional on her first home 👍👍 I did it all on my own, too. It only took until my 40s, living in a sortof unfit house for a decade, not going overseas for 15 years, having a well-paid job, using all my Kiwisaver, and not having kids.

That's awesome news, and no mean feat doing it in Auckland. Still think you should have come and joined us on the mainland instead though :)
