The Country That Just Beat Everyone at Wealth (and Why).
🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟Emily’s back from Europe with a stolen backpack, a £500 fine, and a newly converted love for travel insurance (turns out it isn’t just a scam after all). Meanwhile in the finance world, meme stocks are doing the rounds again - meet the DORKS (yes, that’s what they’re calling them) and why everyone’s suddenly investing in Krispy Kreme, Rocket, and GoPro like it’s TikTok for stocks. We also explore how unusual banking behaviour could be an early sign of dementia, why Starbucks’ CEO is earning 6,000 times more than your local barista (yes, really), and which country officially ranks as the richest in the world right now. Hint: it’s chilly, efficient, and very into recycling.👉 Sign the petition to support safer online spaces for youth👉 Chloe Swarbrick epLeave us a message on The Curve Hotline 💌☎️For more from The Curve:Investing ClubWebsiteInstagramYouTubeTikTokNewsletterDisclaimer: Raising The Curve has been prepared solely for informational and educational purposes.

Chlöe Swarbrick on Power, Money & the Systems That Divide Us.
We weren’t sure if we should release this episode. Some told us it wasn’t appropriate, others said it was exactly the conversation we need right now. And honestly… both sides make a good point.In this wide-ranging chat with politician Chlöe Swarbrick, we dig into the uncomfortable stuff - dogmatism (we’ll explain, don’t worry), capitalism, inequality, power, and why politics often feels like an exhausting mess. Chlöe breaks down how the systems around us shape everything from the price of electricity to who gets heard (and who doesn’t), and why staying out of politics doesn’t mean politics stays out of your life.This episode doesn’t have all the answers, but it will make you think - and probably text your group chat afterwards. If you’ve ever felt politically lost, financially frustrated, or just sick of the noise... this one’s for you.Want the step-by-step guide we put together with Lexus on how to actually afford a big-ticket item (like a car that makes you feel as sleek as you look)?

What It Takes to Buy a House in Your 20s, with Tegan Yorwarth.
Today we are joined by the amazing Tegan Yorwarth - radio host, proud Māori wāhine, and lowkey money mastermind for our second instalment of The Property Podcast - in partnership with BNZ! In this conversation, we spoke to Tegan about how she bought her first house before 30 - while working in one of the most unstable industries out there. We chat about growing up with a scarcity mindset, the thrill (and trauma) of auctions, how she tricks herself into saving, and why she used to send her money to her mum to stop herself spending it (genius). Plus, we cover what it's like being a Māori woman navigating wealth-building, the pros and cons of dating a spender, and why true wealth is... sleeping in on a Monday, not buying a jet ski.We’re proud to be partnering with BNZ, because no two journeys to home ownership are the same.
