More New Zealanders are looking to their Kiwisaver to get them to the future, or to their first-home with the property market on a down-turn.
Because of that, the election's become a more vested interest for voters, with the future of their KiwiSaver determined by what Government forms. So what are parties promising, where do they differ, and what would it mean for our funds?
ACT's proposed tax cuts on our Kiwisaver at the cost of the scrapping Government contribution, National's proposed an incremental increase on the default contribution, and Labour wants to boost employer contributions. What does that all mean for us who may be retiring soon, looking for a first home, or just entering work?

There seems to be many health advisories about what we can stop or start to reduce the risk of cancer, and there's always a push for earlier cancer screenings when elections come about.

The Green Party's announced a jobs guarantee programme for young people who've been out of work for 6 months, with unemployment at an 11-year high, and three times worse for younger people.
The party says the country's infrastructure and nature need maintenance and care, but community services are short of the people needed - so they plan to give those roles to younger people.
The policy aims to bring work to 32,000 young people, by scaling up funding for all councils.

ACT's released their fiscal plan if re-elected, and it's focused on cutting wasteful spending across sectors, and reduce debt by $12.4 billion dollars.
The party's budget focuses on hard issues like superannuation, and bureaucracy, while proposing no new taxes and a quicker return to surplus.
The party says Government spend is up 20 percent since 2017 across most sectors, and less debt lets us better respond to economic crisis and natural disasters.
ACT Party Leader David Seymour talks to Tim Beveridge to unpack their plan...
