Money Mail 218 - 'The Country Is F&^ked'

Apparently so. That is according to some people who message me and leave me comments. I know and see how tricky it is out there, so I can see what these people are trying to say. Maybe I am too much of a realistic optimist, but I can see better financial times in the future. However, I do believe it will get worse before it gets better. (Again, realistic optimist). So should we accept our fate and give up? Let's explore!Hey thanks for listening! Please take some form of action from this content, don’t just be a consumer, become a producer!

How To Invest Your First $10k w James Blair (Lighthouse Financial)

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of questions from younger people who are looking to get into investing.

James helps every day Kiwi with their longer term investing plans and we discuss how some of these fundamentals are important whether we are investing $10k or $10mil.

Money Mail 217 - My Net Worth Decreased This Month

The 30th of June meant that it was time to do my month-end process. Mapping out what money I have coming in during July vs what’s going to be going out. Then I go through and tally up all asset values + debt values. This process keeps my mind on my money, and I am more in check with where everything is at. However, this time, I had a feeling that my net worth would have gone backwards and by the time I had finished my month-end process, I could confirm that my net worth decreased in the month of June. And that’s OK. Here is why...Hey thanks for listening! Please take some form of action from this content, don’t just be a consumer, become a producer!

Why Govt & Council Need To Be Careful With Tax w Mikey Smith

Mikey comes out swinging with a warning to the government and future governments, as well as councils that they need to be careful with all of these tax and rate increases (including inflation) because people are feeling it and we could lose them to other countries OR they may change their behaviour. We explore how this happens and go through some examples. We even TRY and find the odd solution. This is a grunty one!I have a goal to help 100,000 Kiwis improve their financial literacy.

Money Mail 216 - The 50 Million Dollar Frenzy

I haven’t bought a L0tto ticket for some time. But I will admit, I had to be a part of that recent mega jackpot. I was hoping to win to figure out what it would be like to make $50milli in 2 mins. Then, how to handle it. It’s no secret that many people blitz through L0tto winnings and unexpected inheritances because they haven’t learned to be the person that knows how to handle that level of money. There is a good lesson for us here. What is it? And did L0tto just have thier biggest year in history?Hey thanks for listening!
