In this webinar, we break down what’s really driving the cost of living in New Zealand, and why your grocery bill, rent, and power costs keep climbing while tech and travel seem cheaper.

You’ll learn:

- The hidden forces pushing up the price of essentials

- Smart ways to save on food and bills without giving up life’s small joys

- Budgeting strategies that actually work in today’s economy (no “just skip coffee” advice here)
