While the rest of AoNZ struggles with homelessness, redundancy, unaffordable food, crippling rates/insurance/power, isn't it great to hear farmers can pay down debt and buy $300k boats "quite comfortably"?!
So happy for them.

yes, and things change over the years as well, so some things that seemed important become less so and vice versa - not good or bad, just different.
