Hello and welcome to all This group is all about friendship - especially meeting and making new friends in Auckland: going out, having fun and enjoying yourself in a SAFE, Friendly and Supportive environment. For various reasons we can all find ourselves in a physical place where we know no-one or only a handful of people and that can be very lonely and sometimes even distressing. And I can speak from first hand experience - I found myself living in Auckland with my two children (about 3 years …

Remember, Meetup isn't just about the activities you do together. It's about the people you Meetup with. WHY LIVE FRUGALLY? - Sometimes called "thrifty or economically" First, because it: 1). Allows you to spend less than you earn 2). And use the difference to pay off debt 3). Or have money to save or invest. Or all three. Second, because the less you spend, the less you need to earn, that means: 1). You can choose to work less (part-time) 2). Or work more but retire early. 3). Or take mini ret …

Quote>"What's that you say - perpetual motion is impossible? My, you're a difficult one to please. The electrons in the molecules of rock formations have been spinning steadily for millions of years without stopping - at what point will you agree that they are in perpetual motion? So, why don't electrons run out of energy and just slow down to a standstill?   Quantum Mechanics has shown that the universe is a seething cauldron of energy with particles popping into existence and then dropping out …
