One small boy offers to lend his friend 20 cents but the friend refuses the offer, saying 'No thanks - I'll tough it out until pocket money day'. Context - A new Nielsen survey, commissioned by independent money guide Sorted and released today, shows 56 percent of Kiwis are less willing to increase their debt since the recession, and only four percent are inclined to take on more.

Context - Treasury today published the Government's financial statements for the 10 months ended April 30, which showed the debt mountain had grown to $71.6b. The figures were released amid criticism that more debt is being taken on than necessary, and the Council of Trade Unions said the Government was "trying to scare people" by its misleading use of high borrowing figures. The Government is practising "good cash management" by borrowing an extra $5 billion this year to take advantage of low interest rates despite gross debt hitting $71.6b, a senior economist says.
