In this episode, we discuss the harsh reality of living on NZ Super — especially if you’re still renting or paying off a mortgage at 70.

For this, we're joined by Karen Billings-Jensen, the CEO of Age Concern NZ.

You’ll learn:

  • What life really looks like for older Kiwis living off the pension

  • The tough choices some seniors are forced to make just to get by

  • How to spot the signs of financial abuse — before it’s too late

If you’re planning for retirement, or helping your parents through it, make sure you’re set up properly.

Check out our guide on how much NZ Super you’ll get and how to create your own financial security.
