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.

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.

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.

Apparently so. That is according to some people who message me and leave me comments. I know and see how tricky it is out there, so I can see what these people are trying to say. Maybe I am too much of a realistic optimist, but I can see better financial times in the future. However, I do believe it will get worse before it gets better. (Again, realistic optimist). So should we accept our fate and give up? Let's explore!Hey thanks for listening! Please take some form of action from this content, don’t just be a consumer, become a producer!

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of questions from younger people who are looking to get into investing. This is exciting to see, but no matter their age, they probably shouldn’t be asking a random stranger on the internet what to do with their money. So I sat down with James Blair who is a Financial Advisor and the Wealth Director from Lighthouse Financial to discuss what we should be thinking about. James helps every day Kiwi with their longer term investing plans and we discuss how some of these fundamentals are important whether we are investing $10k or $10mil. It doesn’t matter what age you are or how much you have to invest, this podcast will get you thinking!James Blair is the Wealth Director at https://lighthousefinancial.co.nzI have a goal to help 100,000 Kiwis improve their financial literacy.

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. And that’s OK. Here is why...Hey thanks for listening! Please take some form of action from this content, don’t just be a consumer, become a producer!

Mikey comes out swinging with a warning to the government and future governments, as well as councils that they need to be careful with all of these tax and rate increases (including inflation) because people are feeling it and we could lose them to other countries OR they may change their behaviour.

I haven’t bought a L0tto ticket for some time. But I will admit, I had to be a part of that recent mega jackpot. I was hoping to win to figure out what it would be like to make $50milli in 2 mins. Then, how to handle it. It’s no secret that many people blitz through L0tto winnings and unexpected inheritances because they haven’t learned to be the person that knows how to handle that level of money.

Listening is a skill and it’s becoming harder to do. We look at why that might be and how we can practise listening more than just hearing what we want to hear. It is easy to surround ourselves with what we want to hear but what if that isn’t helping us?

The unemployment rate is currently 4.3% at the end of March 2024. It is projected to rise to over 5%. This means tens of thousands of Kiwi who could still lose their jobs. You don’t want this to be you and I don’t either. But chances are it will happen to someone we know in our wider circles.

Each quarter the IRD release information about how many people owe them money and how much. If you've been listening to KTC for some time you'll know what I often refer to this as the data worth looking at because no one writes or talks about this. But it shows us how businesses are going out there in the economy. One of the interesting statistics is that 551,000 people owe the IRD. 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?

Whether people like it or not, we all need each other. Perhaps we need each other more now than ever. For many of us, it is the first time we are going through a really challenging economic cycle of high interest rates, persistent inflation and recessionary tests. We are all dealing with what we have going on in our lives and can lose sight of what others are dealing with. I was talking to a teacher recently who reminded me of this.

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. It means being equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence to make good financial decisions at each life stage, and attain goals with choices. 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. We are often quick to assume nothing is being done to educate our next generation about money but here’s an example of a resource that many people don’t know exists. I have a goal to help 100,000 Kiwis improve their financial literacy.

$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.

After that, you can ease off the gas a little bit.” The above makes more sense to me now that I’ve done it. Let's explore.Hey thanks for listening!

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!
