Money Mail 245 - The 2025 Economy; What Happens Next?

E

2024 was a grind for many, and 2025 might bring much more of the same. I am sorry, I am sorry. I am forever optimistic though. I know everyone is hoping for a better year and excited about how it all just changes and changes quickly, but I am more realistic to how slowly an economy turns. However, while the challenges are real, so are the opportunities. If you’re willing to tune out the noise, focus on what you can control, and keep showing up. And that is what we do around here (see the last 2 weeks of Money Mail)! So here's how to do it...Hey thanks for listening!

From Reckless To Responsible With Money & Mindset w Bryce Helms (KTC Listener) [Changers]

E

In this episode, I sit down with Bryce who shares his transformation: both financially and professionally, thanks to the lessons he learned from Keep The Change.After years of feeling stuck in a high-paying but limiting career, loaded with mortgages, credit card debt, and even Afterpay purchases for dog food, Bryce had a KTC wake-up call. He realised the power of accountability, mindset, and the importance of taking control of his situation.Fast forward through countless hours of study, sacrifices, and laser focus, and he’s now stepping into a new role as a mortgage adviser in Mikey’s team at Guardian Smith. To do this, Bryce had to leave behind a comfortable salary to pursue something with no ceiling, no excuses, and full ownership of the outcome.We talk about breaking free from bad financial habits, overcoming limiting mindsets, and what it means to back yourself completely. This is an inspiring story of taking risks, embracing discomfort, and building a future of purpose and growth.If you’re feeling stuck or searching for your next opportunity, this episode will remind you that with the right mindset and determination, anything is possible. Bring it on!If you need to find Bryce, do that here: https://www.instagram.com/kiwi_angler/I believe 100,000 kiwi with better financial literacy will create a better New Zealand.

Money Mail 243 - 2025 The Year To Focus On What You Do Have

E

When did we get so good at dismissing other people's actions to keep ourselves stuck and upset at our own situation? It makes no sense to me. Focusing on what you don’t have will only hold you back. You need to flip your mind to start looking at your own opportunities. This will give you a good reminder to focus on what you do have and ignore those who decide not to live like this.Hey thanks for listening!

KiwiSaver Hardship Rising & Car Loan Carnage w David Verry (Financial Mentor)

E

David is back to teach us about exploitative car loans, and one lender who is now being prosecuted by the Commerce Commission. We can all learn what to look out for when taking on debt.We also discuss how KiwiSaver hardship applications are also on the rise, with more people turning to their retirement savings to manage debt, cover legal costs, or cope with reduced income. We discuss the limitations of this approach, how it often leaves broader financial issues unresolved, and the thing David sees that that upsets him the most.We also again highlight the importance of free, confidential, and non-judgmental budget services like MoneyTalks, available to everyone in NZ. I have a goal to help 100,000 Kiwis improve their financial literacy.

‘Property Doubles Every 10 Years’ LOL! Is That All? w Mikey Smith (GuardianSmith.co.nz)

E

Everyone’s favourite property saying - that it doubles every 10 years and property is ‘safe as houses’. But how true is this for the coming decade and why does Sir Bill English think they will be stagnant for 15 years (in real terms). Regardless, shouldn’t this scare us not excite us? Don’t we need to be thinking bigger than a double every 10 years? We are capable of so much more! This is to get you thinking critically about a common property promotional slogan.

E

In this episode, we dive into the evolving landscape of financial mentoring in New Zealand. We explore the growing focus on upskilling and qualifying financial mentors, the challenges of advocacy work, and what the future might look like with fewer volunteers and a streamlined approach to budgeting support.As the hardest time of year approaches, we discuss the financial pressure households face during the holiday season, from Christmas spending to January's financial fallout. Learn how financial mentors like David Verry provide critical support, balancing weekly cash flows, educating communities, and advocating for systemic change. David shares insights from their dual role in financial mentoring and community education, providing a "fence at the top of the cliff" and an "ambulance at the bottom."Finally, we highlight the vital role of free, confidential, and non-judgmental budget services in helping the “working poor” and other underrepresented groups. Join us for this a solid conversation on financial resilience, systemic challenges, and the essential work of financial mentoring in Aotearoa.I believe 100,000 kiwi with better financial literacy will create a better New Zealand.

Money Mail 239 - Are You (or your parents) Ready For Retirement?

E

I started reading an eye-opening book about retirement. The book: Cracking Open The Nest Egg by Martin Hawes. I highly suggest this for your parents or yourself, no matter your age. I was struck by an example for people to aim for when retiring. The idea is that you get to 65 with no debt on your house, and you have some funds set aside to invest that you can draw down on for the next 30 years. Sounds easy right? But does the math, math?

Money Mail 237 - Black Friday Is Here…Or Is It?

E

I read that according to a survey by PriceMe, 51% of Kiwis plan to shop on Black Friday this year, a sharp rise from 35% in 2023. What’s more concerning is that 53% will use debt via credit cards, overdrafts, or Buy Now Pay Later. That’s a financial hangover waiting to happen. If you are part of this 53%, you need to be very careful about going into debt in order to buy people material things they will probably throw out before next Black Friday.
