Friday reflection 2

MyMahi is a website made by Jeff King in 2014 for kiwi students and teachers, who are looking for a website to keep notes, write goals and even look for jobs. This week I did a career quiz to see what jobs I might be qualified for. MyMahi is a good website for loads of things, I think this website is really good at helping you find a job and keeping you organized.

"People with the life-shortening conditions Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, Huntington’s disease, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder will be able to get early access to their KiwiSaver funds."

In 2019 the rules were altered around early access for people with life-shortening congenital conditions after Tim Fairhall, who has Down syndrome, went into battle to access his KiwiSaver money so he could visit his brother and friend overseas.

"It is a big journey for me, and I enjoyed it," Fairhall said today at the announcement, with the changeset to kick in next month. He began calling for a change in 2018 and starred in a video made by the Retirement Commissioner's office to champion his case for early access to his KiwiSaver funds.
