Where's My Money?

Boxing Day always feels like chaos wrapped in a discount sticker, so today we’re breaking it all down with Katie from enable.me. We’re looking at what’s actually a deal, what’s just good marketing, and how to avoid that horrible post-shopping regret. Katie takes us through the big mistakes people make on Boxing Day, from getting swept up in the adrenaline to falling for ticking clocks and “limited stock” banners. We talk about sticking to the money you actually have, buying based on need not want, and why researching a purchase can save you from yourself. If you’re heading into the sales or trying to talk yourself out of them, this is a good one to have in your ears. This episode of Where's My Money was made possible thanks to Enable Me.

This summer we’re revisiting some of our biggest conversations, and Mike McRoberts’ story still hits hard. After more than 40 years in journalism and two decades fronting the 6pm bulletin, Mike found himself reporting on something he never expected: his own redundancy. In this chat, Mike takes us inside the shock of Newshub ending, the surreal moment of announcing his own fate on air, and the emotional whiplash of becoming the story after decades of telling them. He talks openly about identity, pride, leadership in tough moments, and why he was determined the team would finish with mana.

It’s our final official episode of the year, so we’ve brought Katie and Shelley from enable.me back in to help us take stock of where we’re at and where we’re heading. Twelve months ago everything felt harder. Interest rates were climbing, supermarket trips were painful, and job security felt shaky for a lot of Kiwis. Now there’s cautious optimism in the air, with OCR cuts starting to bring a bit of relief to the back pocket. This episode digs into what that actually means for real people. We talk about building resilience if your industry feels wobbly, why tiny habits still matter more than bold moves, and how to get intentional before 2026 rolls around. And yes, we get into Christmas. The budgets, the blowouts, the Grinch energy, and the smart ways to avoid a January credit-card hangover. Powered by enable.me.

We’ve always joked about winning our way to retirement, but this week we put that idea to the test. A few seasons back, 23 per cent of Kiwis admitted they were banking on a lotto win to fund their future. So we wanted to know… can it actually be done? We kick this episode off with Reagan’s own adventure on The Chase, filmed in Sydney, where the adrenaline hit harder than the payout. You can watch the full episode here on TVNZ Plus. Then we meet Liv from North Canterbury, winner of More FM’s Change Your Life prize: a year of mortgage, fuel, power, food, movies, and Uber Eats covered, plus coaching from enable.me to help her make the most of it. Finally, we sit down with Gerald Trass, a Kiwi who won more than $10 million in Lotto. His candid take on pressure, planning, freedom, and the reality of sudden wealth is pure gold.

Winston Peters sits down with Reagan for an honest, surprisingly personal conversation about money, poverty, hard work, saving, housing, KiwiSaver, business, wages, and why so many families feel squeezed. From growing up in post-Depression Northland with 10 siblings, to working in blast furnaces and freezing works, the longtime politician explains how his upbringing shaped his views on financial discipline, responsibility, and what New Zealand needs to do to get ahead again. He also gives rare insight into the country’s economic challenges, the failures of past governments, why wages need to rise, why KiwiSaver must evolve, and how NZ can rebuild wealth instead of just consuming it.
