Financial Education. For Kiwis.
In plain English
The things that have us a bit worried
It’s thought that up to 1 million Kiwis don’t know crucial information about their KiwiSaver. E.g. who’s in charge of investing their nest egg, and how good they are at doing it.
A huge number of us don’t have a backup plan to make money if we get sick and can no longer work. Remember, ACC only covers accidents, which makes up about 20% of people in hospital.
About 50% of Kiwis die without a Will, leaving a messy and costly court process for their families to go through after their death.
Essentially, this is a free resource for those who want to know more about money, and pay some extra attention to their financial future. A lot of this stuff isn’t taught at school, and we are expected to just 'figure it out’.
The information is general in nature, and not financial advice.
When information is made available, often it’s too complicated to understand - and doesn’t offer a next step. It tells you what you should do, without much guidance around how.
A bit of light reading
Will
More than 50% of Kiwis die without leaving a Will. This means when you die, the court will freeze everything you own, including your bank account, for a minimum of six months.
Everyone needs a current Will.
KiwiSaver
Many of us have KiwiSaver. But most people don't know who their KiwiSaver provider is, what fund they're in, or where their nest egg is actually being invested.
How do you want your money to be invested? Conservatively? Balanced? High-risk high-reward?
Insurance
Nope, we aren't talking about car or contents insurance. This is the insurance most people don't know about, but is oh-so-important.
It revolves around you and your most important asset - Your ability to earn money in the future.
