Keep The Change

They want to earn more. They want to start something small. They want to build skills and income outside their job. But then they look at tax and it kills the motivation. They won't be the first or last Kiwi to get p!ssed off by this. However, maybe the bigger risk isn’t paying 33% the bigger risk is not exploring where you could end up with another income stream.

New Zealand's economy is patchy, spending fell 0.5% in December, Boxing Day sales down 12%, and job ads are still 30% below pre-pandemic levels. Meanwhile, electricity is up 12% and gas up 16% - the highest increases since the late 1980s.

Brad Olsen from Infometrics breaks down what's really happening and why the economy isn't magically turning around like everyone hoped.

The biggest challenge? We've got an aging population to pay for, infrastructure deficits, and young people fleeing to countries that value them more.

The economy might improve, but only if you stop waiting for someone else to fix it.

Most first home buyers are back with low deposits and record-high debt, often borrowing with less than 20% deposit.

Luke and Mikey break down the reality: people are stretching themselves thin with low equity loans that cost more in interest. We cover why you need to understand the true cost (not just the mortgage payment), the risks of buying with minimal deposit, and what happens when house prices drop while you're over leveraged.

Don't let FOMO drive the biggest financial decision of your life. Understand what you're signing up for first.
