Many of us are still sitting here asking ‘is it a good idea to invest?’. I think this actually means ‘I am scared to invest because I don’t want to lose money’. That makes more sense to me. But...by not investing, in some way, you are already watching your money go backwards in terms of what it can buy. Let's rip into this objection to investing.Hey thanks for listening!

The Engineered Recession: 2 Years In, What's Next? w Mikey Smith (GuardianSmith.co.nz)

What’s happening with business confidence? Will house prices continue to rise? When will rates slide further? Will they print money again?This one won’t be as optimistic as you may HOPE but it’s realistic and that’s what we’ve been the whole way through. Get ready to take more action.

Money Mail 232 - You’ve Never Been More Likely To Make $100,000
In the past, earning a six-figure income was a significant milestone, some sort of marker of financial success. But with rising costs and inflation, the purchasing power of $100,000 has decreased. So, setting an arbitrary income goal like "$100,000" might not be the right target anymore. It is believed that about 16% of working Kiwis now earn $100,000 or more. That number will continue to increase. In 2001, that was under 2% of wage and salary earners.Hey thanks for listening!

The Pyramid That Explains Your Situation w Mikey Smith (GuardianSmith.co.nz)
This pyramid holds the answers to so many of life’s questions. Are you currently at survival status, freedom, or purpose? And more importantly where would you like to be when it comes to your financial situation?. This was eye-opening from our trip to the United States and we sat down to reflect on what it means to us and what we’ve learned from it. We also asked the KTC audience where they are aiming for and where they currently sit on the pyramid. The answers are insightful. We explore questions like what are you aiming for yourself? Why?

Help NZers Kill Crippling Debt w Money Sweetspot’s Sasha Lockley
Money Sweetspot is here to help reverse that debt spiral and support New Zealanders to regain control of their finances. I sit down with CEO Sasha Lockley to ask her about the impressive debt consolidation social enterprise that is Money Sweetspot. It only started becoming public facing in March 2023 and since then it has helped 600 people with their debt. They do this via ‘debt resets’ that give people a chance to have high interest debt rolled into a cheaper rate, with a single, manageable payment. In addition, Money Sweetspot provides free access to valuable financial education resources. Customers can even earn credits (that pay down their debt faster) when they tick off educational modules. There is nothing like this in the world and Sasha needs a hand to find the right people to use the service and to spread the word. Hopefully this can help some of you.“Our support for Money Sweetspot is part of our broader commitment to enhancing the social, cultural, and financial wellbeing of New Zealanders. With our goal to deliver $50 million in low or no-interest lending by 2024, we’re actively supporting a more inclusive and sustainable financial future.”For more information visit https://www.moneysweetspot.co.nz/I have a goal to help 100,000 Kiwis improve their financial literacy.

Is Insurance In NZ Worth It Anymore? w Johny Winstone (Insurance Market)
The cost of insurance has been climbing and many people are thinking about self-insuring themselves - i.e. not having insurance but thinking they will stack money aside to cover eventual issues. But how realistic is this and can it work? I sit down with Johny Winstone who has over 6,000 clients and we discuss all things insurance. I promise it isn’t boring and you will learn something. We explore things like: What are the most common things people insure? Are people ignoring insurance? What we don’t know about insurance that we need to? You will enjoy these stories and this will get you thinking more about insurance and it’s importance.How To Find Johny ⬇️https://www.insurance-market.co.nz/brokers/insurance-market-collective/our-team/johny-winstonehttps://www.instagram.com/johnywinstone/I have a goal to help 100,000 Kiwis improve their financial literacy.

ICYWL - Money Mail 149 - Doing it tough out there? Who to call
This is a re-release of an earlier podcast that other listeners have found very useful.The number of people struggling financially is really starting to increase. Nearly 12% of Kiwis are currently behind on their debt repayments: personal loans, credit cards, BNPL etc. For some reason, it can be really hard for us Kiwis to ask for help. It seems to be something we’ve mastered - not asking for help. A lot of people will feel helpless or even embarrassed about their debt levels, so they will simply bury their heads in the sand. We know deep down that this isn’t a solution. So here is where to turn to...Hey thanks for listening! Please take some form of action from this content, don’t just be a consumer, become a producer!

Quitting Corporate For Community w John Bell (Kauri Wealth)
Today I sit down with a good man who has gone from corporate to financial advice. John has a Master's degree in Finance, so understood the power of compounding wealth over the long-term, and his KiwiSaver was sorted nice and early. But John wanted to do more to help out his community with this knowledge. He spent weekends driving north (4.5 hours) and talking with friends and family about KiwiSaver. This led to the start of Kauri Wealth and now he does it full time. Find out what inspired John to throw away the corporate path and chase a goal of helping more Kiwi make incremental steps toward their finance. This is an inspirational goodie!Kauri Wealth has a simple mission: to empower individuals with a deep understanding of KiwiSaver's significance, guiding them towards optimal fund selection and unlocking its potential to enhance lives.

It’s OK to want to make more money. There, someone gave you permission. We teach people that ‘money doesn’t buy happiness’. If we taught people how to be more in control of their income, there may just be a lot more happier people right now. I think a lot of people have been conditioned to be told that earning more is greedy, selfish, ‘you’re all about the money’, recently I was told I am supporting failing ‘capitalism and consumerism’. You have no doubt been told by someone that wanting more is bad. You evil bastard. But it’s ok. Why? Let's find out why!Hey thanks for listening!
