Keep The Change

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. Generate KiwiSaver Scheme has sponsored Keep The Change to help me reach more people and make this a reality. Cheers Generate. Head to generatekiwisaver.co.nz/change to find out more..

This is a re-release of an earlier podcast that other listeners have found very useful.Everybody loves to believe that property doubles every ten years but maybe we need it to when we factor in the cost of the things we need to pay for in the lifetime of a property.

September GDP data just came in at -1.0. I had to refresh my screen to see if that was accurate. -1.1% in the June quarter. Brutal! We are living through a seriously gnarly engineered recession.

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.

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.

This is a re-release of an earlier podcast that other listeners have found very useful.Last week we discussed the fact that the economy is highly likely to now be in a recession. There is no ‘growth’ and it is contracting. I’ve seen social media comments about the economy going backward and that means that people feel less hope about their future. My question is, did you measure yours? Yeah, your economy? That’s a great economy to be more concerned with.Hey thanks for listening!

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?

We saw a long time of interest rates falling and asset prices increasing. Then we had dramatically lower interest rates through the 'demic and then inflation hit us, meaning interest rates to rise and some assets have actually now decreased in value as interest rates have increased. Now we are back to decreasing interest rates once again. So, what does this mean for asset prices in your ability to keep up with them?

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.

The challenge was to come up with 3 skills that have seriously changed our life once we started implementing them. These will get you thinking and hopefully you will be able to apply some to them to your life. We go through different skills and why they are our key 3. There is some good cross over and some examples of how we’ve used these in our lives. A lot of this wasn’t learnt at school and you learn as you grow.

Paul is back in the hot seat to get us thinking about what New Zealand will look like in the future.

What is behind this? We explore the ageing demographic and what that will mean for the makeup of the country and the economy. It is very important that you understand this. Will it be a completely different New Zealand in 20 years time? Yes! So get ready now.I believe 100,000 kiwi with better financial literacy will create a better New Zealand.

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!

Recently, I asked people IF THEY WANTED TO INVEST BUT HAVEN’T YET, how come. Sorry I had to yell and use bold so that you read that question properly. Before I summarise what I think the key 3 are, know this: You have TO WANT TO invest and that will help get you started. You’re on your own, but the guard rails are up so high that you’re so unlikely to hit a gutter ball long term. Stop aiming for a strike and bowl ya ball! Let's explore!Hey thanks for listening!

Well, it has nearly been a good two years since the Reserve Bank of New Zealand told us that they were going to be engineering a recession so we thought that two years into this recession it was time to take a look and see what people were saying two years ago.Now that we are deep in it, what should we expect from here? 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.

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!
