Banker survives minimum wage challenge

Monday, November 4th 2013, 11:41AM

This is a little different. Some of you will know Andrew Mexted-Bragg who is currently a senior product manager at ANZ. For the past 11 weeks Andrew has been living on the minimum wage - $370 a week after tax  to experience what many people in New Zealand go through.

The idea of the challenge was to adjust his attitute to money. But over the challenge that has changed and he now has a much deeper appreciation of the difficulties of trying to establish even a reasonable quality of life with little money and a huge respect for those who are striving to do this day in day out.

You can find out more about the challenge here, but more importantly why not make a donation? All the money (he has raised more than $5,800 so far) is going to the Salvation Army. Here is the link to donate.
