Pity the term deposit-holders: How to navigate low interest rates


Homes used to cost a lot less, but in previous decades home loan interest rates were much higher.
Record low interest rates are great for homeowners – but not so good for anyone hoping to earn interest on money in the bank.
Over recent years, anyone with money in a savings account or term deposit has seen their returns drop to virtually nothing.
Term deposits are now paying up to 1 per cent a year for terms of five years, compared to a 10-year average of 4.39 per cent. Virtually all the return would be swallowed by inflation.

New Zealand Law Society (Wellington) Vice President Arti Chand said junior lawyers needed to be supported. Not just in terms of their salary, but to achieve a better work-life balance.
