Hi all
We are about to buy our first home and are considering whether or not to use our kiwisaver funds. Without kiwisaver we have a good cash deposit (roughly 50%) and plan to pay off the mortgage as quickly as we can.
However we can access another $60k from our kiwisaver now that otherwise we won't get for another 30-35 years. We don't plan to rely on kiwisaver for our retirement.
Has anyone else been through this thinking or have views on what we should do?
Thanks in advance
