• The cost of divorce: What not to do if you want to hold onto your money

  We all know that ‘til death do us part’ doesn’t always end up that way, even if we don't like thinking about it. But divorce can be financially devastating, and some simple errors can make that process even more costly and difficult than it needs to be. Enable.me financial adviser Shelley Palman, who has been through divorce herself and coached countless clients through the process, joins Nadine this week to discuss the simple do's and don't's when it comes to getting divorced that could help avoid unnecessary costs - and could even help you with your current relationship!

• Why are we so reluctant to take out personal insurance?

  New Zealanders are among the most underinsured in the OECD, according to the Financial Services Council. We insure our cars, our houses and our other stuff, but not what is arguably our biggest asset - ourselves. Givealittle fundraisers for families that have hit hard times and need help have become increasingly common. But is insurance the answer, and if so, why don’t more of us have it? Today, Nadine is digging into the specifics of insurance, and our avoidance of it, with insurance adviser Willie Moala.
