Reagan joins economist Shamubeel Eaqub and Katie Wesney from enable.me to unpack the election. Find out what the political promises actually mean for your tax, mortgage, and KiwiSaver without the usual campaign spin.
With politicians making plenty of noise on the campaign trail, it can be hard to spot what actually impacts your personal finances.
This week, Reagan is joined by economist Shamubeel Eaqub and financial coach Katie Wesney from enable.me for an honest look at the pre-election landscape.
We get straight into the cost of living crisis, soaring necessities, and why waiting for the government to fix your budget is a losing game. Shamubeel unpacks the reality of tax policies within MMP coalitions and breaks down the demographic crunch facing NZ Super.
Meanwhile, Katie shares why basing a twenty-year plan on a three-year election cycle makes no sense, offering clear ways to audit your household spending, manage mortgage debt, and make your money resilient. Plus, we talk KiwiSaver contribution changes and what is really happening across the property market.
