Many Kiwis think financial advisers are only for the wealthy. But the truth is, you often don’t need as much money as you think to get started. In this episode, we break down the 5 different types of advisers, how they get paid, and who they’re best for – from mortgage advisers to budgeting coaches.

You’ll learn:

  • The ballpark income and deposit levels advisers usually work with

  • Why some advisers cost you nothing upfront (and how they actually get paid)

  • The type of adviser you only need around $15 a week to work with

If you’ve ever thought “I’m not rich enough for a financial adviser,” this episode will show you the reality – and help you feel confident about finding the right adviser for your situation.
