Money Mail 245 - The 2025 Economy; What Happens Next?
2024 was a grind for many, and 2025 might bring much more of the same. I am sorry, I am sorry. I am forever optimistic though. I know everyone is hoping for a better year and excited about how it all just changes and changes quickly, but I am more realistic to how slowly an economy turns. However, while the challenges are real, so are the opportunities. If you’re willing to tune out the noise, focus on what you can control, and keep showing up. And that is what we do around here (see the last 2 weeks of Money Mail)! So here's how to do it...Hey thanks for listening!

ICYWL - Money Mail 147 - Why I Bought A PIE Fund
This is a re-release of an earlier podcast that other listeners have found very useful.Recently I bought a PIE fund and I’m not talking steak and cheese ones. I had a bit of spare cash sitting in a bank account and I wanted to ‘make my money work for me’ and am always looking for ways for my money to have babies and help subsidise my life/costs. I considered a Term Deposit where I deposit my money for a set term and in return get given a % for doing so. Then I thought about a PIE Fund, here's why...Hey thanks for listening!

From Reckless To Responsible With Money & Mindset w Bryce Helms (KTC Listener) [Changers]
In this episode, I sit down with Bryce who shares his transformation: both financially and professionally, thanks to the lessons he learned from Keep The Change.After years of feeling stuck in a high-paying but limiting career, loaded with mortgages, credit card debt, and even Afterpay purchases for dog food, Bryce had a KTC wake-up call. He realised the power of accountability, mindset, and the importance of taking control of his situation.Fast forward through countless hours of study, sacrifices, and laser focus, and he’s now stepping into a new role as a mortgage adviser in Mikey’s team at Guardian Smith. To do this, Bryce had to leave behind a comfortable salary to pursue something with no ceiling, no excuses, and full ownership of the outcome.We talk about breaking free from bad financial habits, overcoming limiting mindsets, and what it means to back yourself completely. This is an inspiring story of taking risks, embracing discomfort, and building a future of purpose and growth.If you’re feeling stuck or searching for your next opportunity, this episode will remind you that with the right mindset and determination, anything is possible. Bring it on!If you need to find Bryce, do that here: https://www.instagram.com/kiwi_angler/I believe 100,000 kiwi with better financial literacy will create a better New Zealand.
