The first time we heard about Liberty Trust
was at Parachute Festival, the day before we got engaged. At first it all
seemed too-good-to-be-true, but we soon did our research and number crunching,
then consulted with a couple of financially-minded friends before coming to the
conclusion that the way Liberty Trust was setup was robust and safe. We worried
that things might not be the same in the years to come, both for Liberty Trust
and for us, but we felt confident it was the right move at the right time.
Since joining Liberty Trust we have learned
a lot more about finance - we’ve had two bank mortgages and learned how to best
structure the loans to maximise flexibility and to try to minimise the
interest. But even then we still felt like the banks were still in charge of
our finances. While they might try via various marketing campaigns to convince
us they care about us personally, we also know the reality that they are there
to get the maximum possible return from us. The way Liberty Trust is structured
is radically different to that system. We feel that we are a part of something
that can change lives dramatically, and can help to provide a basic necessity of
life - a roof over one’s head. The best thing of all is that by contributing to
Liberty Trust, we are building something bigger not just for our benefit, but
for other Kiwi families and generations to come.
Since we began our contributions, we have
gotten married, worked and saved, bought our first home, had flatmates,
travelled around the world for a year, and then re-settled back into NZ life.
Very recently, while expecting our first baby to be born, we were offered an
interest-free loan by Liberty Trust/Ark Resources. The timing couldn’t have
been any more perfect. Now, our home loan is completely interest-free and
within seven years it will be loan-free!
We are very grateful to God for His vision
and guidance and to the Liberty Trust founders and the trustees
for making this all possible.
