Shane Solly: Spots of recovery in the economy

We've started to see spots of what looks to be recovery in our economy over recent months. It's not consistent, but it's frequent enough to give us some hope for the year to come. Westpac is picking a whole lot of OCR hikes from the end of this year, and other forecasts seem to set a similar scene - a better economy is coming, and rates will have to reflect that when the time comes.

Janet Xuccoa: Where do trusts fit in to aged care funding?

Growing older is expensive - much more expensive than most people realise. When you or a loved one either decides to move into aged care or is forced to do so, the Ministry of Social Development will quickly swoop in to flip through all their finances. Any assets, gifted funds, trusts, even living rent free - it's all looked at and impacts their chances of government-subsidised care.

Sharon Chandra: You could be essentially married without even realising it

Relationships cost money. It's not just about date nights at expensive restaurants, fancy shoes, or a new watch for Valentine's Day. It's moving in together, splitting the power bill, signing on to the rent. At what point in the relationship should you join your finances, and how should you go about it? Then there's the other side of the relationship - the part no one tends to plan for. The end of it. Are prenups just for the ultra-wealthy, or should we all have gotten one?

Todd Charteris: "Let's not let perfect get in the way of better"

Confidence in New Zealand's rural sector has really started recovering over the past year or so. Stabilising interest rates, great dairy results, and promising meat exports have formed a foundation for what will hopefully be a successful 2026. Confidence dropped slightly in the last quarter of last year, but it's still much higher than it has been over previous years. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andrew Bascand: We've seen the bottom of the rate cycle

Last week the Reserve Bank dropped the OCR 25 basis points to 2.25%, but their tone was a bit more hawkish than usual. Some analysts are thinking it's a signal that rates have gone as low as the RBNZ is willing to drop them - and the new Governor may be wanting to turn a new leaf in 2026.

Lisa Dudson: Is it time to fix long term?

We got another OCR cut this week - now down to 2.25% - the lowest it's been since June of 2022. That was the last one for the year, so a lot of us mortgage holders are trying to figure out whether things are slowing down, and if it's time to fix for a longer term this time around.
