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. When it’s hard, push harder!I have a goal to help 100,000 Kiwis improve their financial literacy.

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!

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? What would you aim for if you were out of survival?If this one doesn’t get you thinking deeply, we don’t know what will!I have a goal to help 100,000 Kiwis improve their financial literacy.

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.

Not everyone aspires to be in business and that is fine, but I feel like we can all do with understanding a bit more about how the numbers in a business work.

You might think that reading a profit and loss (P&L) statement is like reading another language? Don’t worry, you’re not alone.

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.

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. Generate are supporting my vision to improve the financial literacy of 100,000 kiwis by sponsoring Keep The Change.

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’.

Well, we’ve finally got some good inflation news. Inflation was 3.3% annually for the June 2024 quarter. This is the lowest it has been since June 2021. But we aren’t quite there yet. Still slightly outside the 3% target band. However, there is at least some confidence that we are heading inside it. And for a lot of people that will mean sweet, sweet interest rate cuts. The elixir we are craving to turn the economic tap back on. I don’t think that slow rate cuts (should they be slow) will be everything people think they will be because, as you’ve learned, interest rate cuts or hikes take some time to wash through the system.

The 30th of June meant that it was time to do my month-end process. Mapping out what money I have coming in during July vs what’s going to be going out. Then I go through and tally up all asset values + debt values. This process keeps my mind on my money, and I am more in check with where everything is at. However, this time, I had a feeling that my net worth would have gone backwards and by the time I had finished my month-end process, I could confirm that my net worth decreased in the month of June.

The number of customers with debt increased from 436 thousand in March 2023 to 551 thousand in March 2024. So, how did that happen so quickly? I don't know for sure, but this is my theory...and it impacts you!Hey thanks for listening! Please take some form of action from this content, don’t just be a consumer, become a producer!

It’s inevitable that you will go through tough, slow growth times in your life. You will feel like you’re on the right path but the self doubt creeps in. The wins aren’t coming, you can’t see the progress and people might even tell you that you don’t know what you’re doing. Then you drink the brain rotting Kiwi Kola: You can’t get ahead here, You can’t buy a house here, There are no good jobs here. It’s all down hill from here and you give up.Awesome!Except you didn’t want to give up.Neither did I. 7 years ago I was starting from scratch and the wins weren’t coming as fast as I thought they would.

Over 80% of school leavers said that they wished they had learned more about money at school. Sorted in Schools are doing something about this by providing resources for both students and teachers. The goal is to improve financial capability. That means being good with money which is an essential life skill.

I am joined by Claire Bailey from Sorted In Schools who is a learning specialist and I ask her how the programme is progressing and what the vision is. Sorted in Schools is free for all secondary schools and designed by teachers for teachers.

$100,000, the magical figure. Where did it come from? Perhaps I had heard the late Charlie Munger (one of the worlds great investors) who once said your first $100K is the toughest to earn — but most crucial for building wealth. “The first $100,000 is a b*tch, but you gotta do it.

There are plenty of positive comments too, which is great to see.

Turns out, working from home IS a thing and often employee's pay costs associated with this. During the cerveza sickness, the IRD increased the tax free allowance when working from home (because so many people were). Basically, employees can receive a tax free allowance each week, to cover any additional costs associated with working away from the office. I.e. power, telephone, internet usage or printing. NOTE: this is paid by their employer IF THEY WANT TO, it is not an obligation. Let's find out how this works!Hey thanks for listening!

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!

But what about dividends? Chances are the IRD already know about some of these.Hey thanks for listening!

Straight away my assumption was that this would be because women take less risk, so are probably more likely to be in conservative funds.

On the weekend, I was giving someone a hand with their finances and we noticed something pretty alarming. The cost of petrol and parking for them was over 10% of their total salary. We know from recent data that transport was the second biggest contributor to inflation for 2021. Statistics New Zealand said during last year the average price of 91 octane petrol increased 30%, from $1.87 per litre to $2.45 during the year. So what can we do?Hey thanks for listening!

If you haven’t bumped into my passion project ‘Boys Get Paid’, you might find this subject line very confusing. Two Saturdays ago we hosted an event for 850 people. We also run a ‘punters club’ where we pool everyone's money and bet it on behalf of everyone on the night. We had over 7,500 people deposit money from all over the country (and a few Aussies). This was the 5th year of doing this and we wanted to set a target for a pool of $500,000. I wanted to share a few things with you that I have learnt from this journey.Hey thanks for listening!

From time to time, I will go through the assets that I own and I will question myself about whether they are performing. Buy and hold is a great simplistic strategy, but sometimes, things can change and sometimes our tactics need to change as the world does.

Have you heard this saying before: ‘Your network is your net worth’? From what I have seen (as much as we might not like it), these sayings are very true and we will all see this playout throughout our lives and probably even use these sayings. Sometimes these things can work for us and other times against us. Ultimately, you need to build connections over time so that you can get these things working for you.Hey thanks for listening!

As we raise incomes in NZ, something else is happening...we are getting people closer and closer to a 30% tax bracket which kicks in from $48,000 of income.

The pay decrease - the increase in interest paid to the bank leading to less money left in the household for spending. Kiwis are obsessed with ‘locking in’ the best interest rate and playing the ‘will they go up or down’ game. In 2022 this means billions & billions (fair bit more than lotto) of dollars of debt will roll off their current locked in interest rates.Hey thanks for listening!

We've briefly spoke about how an interest-free student loan could be a good thing right now. Especially with inflation here. Many people with a student loan (or any form of interest-free debt) are sitting there thinking what is the point of paying this off in a hurry if it’s not really costing me anything in terms of interest? A good question, although there may be ways in which it will affect you financially down the track if you’re not careful. Hey thanks for listening!

Today is exactly one year on since I made my first bitcoin purchase. The $3,300 is now worth $15,100. Pretty decent return, huh? An $11,800 unrealised gain. I haven’t sold it, so as you know, this is an ‘unrealised gain’. It would only become a realised gain if I were to sell & bank the profits (which I would pay tax on). It’s a great feeling. You probably think that it’s a great feeling due to the fact that I’ve made $11,800 on paper? Well, that’s great, but it’s not really about that. It’s more about trusting my instinct, research and then having the courage to do something about it...turning those thoughts into action.Hey thanks for listening!
