    BONUS: Is crypto about to boom?

    Frances Cook talks cryptocurrency with Jim Mora, on RNZ's Sunday Morning. You might have noticed that there was a fairly significant election recently, with Donald Trump once again about to be President of the US. Well this has impacted all sorts of things, including the financial world, and one of those big impacts has been on crypto. In true Trump style, he’s done a 180, going from calling it a scam in 2021, to now starting his own cryptocurrency, and saying that the US government is going to boost bitcoin. As you can imagine, that’s increasing the hype and sending prices, to the moon. Well, the lovely Jim Mora from RNZ Sunday Mornings asked me to come on the radio and detangle this for him. He’s one of my favourite people to be interviewed by, so of course that was a yes. He also agreed that I could re-run the audio on this podcast, which was very kind of him. So here’s a special bonus episode of myself and Jim talking all things crypto. Enjoy.

    From women’s refuge to financial freedom at 33

    Angela Strang, property investor and business owner, shares her tips for reaching financial independence. Sometimes a difficult experience early in life will shape you, for better or worse. For Angela, it was an early experience of finding herself as a child with her family in women’s refuge, that made her determined she would create financial stability for herself, and any future family that she had. So as a young adult she looked for highly paid jobs, and funneled that into property investments. But after hitting financial independence at 33, she didn’t want to stop. Now she’s on the cusp of buying a business, too. Why not stop and kick back a bit? Well, because she wants to help other kids who might be in a similar situation to what she once was.

    Brodie Kane on the pros and cons of buying a house with a friend

    TV presenter Brodie Kane shares her co-ownership journey, and what she learned from hosting the new TV series On The Ladder with Kiwibank. Buying a house is far from easy, because let’s be honest, they’re expensive Building up a deposit, getting approval from the bank, then keeping paying it off, it’s all a bit of a mountain to climb Not to mention, if something goes wrong with the house, you’re now in charge and have to figure repairs, maintenance, and all the other very adult stuff.  Well some people are teaming up to make these problems less scary.  Rather than buying with a romantic partner, you could buy in with family, or friends. Big commitment there, but for some, the only way to get into property.  So what can go right and wrong with this, and how do you do it smartly?  Links Follow Frances Cook on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, or join the Money Memo newsletter for a free weekly money tip in your inbox each week.

    Your questions, answered: Why I quit, best investing strategy?

    Frances Cook answers the questions that you sent in, in a solo episode covering the best investing strategies, and why she launched her own business. This week, it’s something a little different.  Things have changed around here recently, and I know that’s left people with a few questions.  So I opened things up through social media to say, what are the questions on your mind?  Everytjing from investing strategies, to why I quit my old job, came through.  So… let’s whip through and give you some answers.  Questions in this episode: Is there any hope for people just starting out to achieve Financial Independence? Advice for 26yo you? Is there a way to get your kiwisaver out without buying a house? Other investment schemes are better. What small things can I do to kick off investing when I don’t have a lot of money at all?  Financial book recommendations? Are you scared to start your own business in a recession? What was your full time job before?  What happened to Cooking the Books? I loved it! Do you miss writing about non-financial topics?  How do you personally manage the currency risk of your investments? Do you buy hedged products? How is your hair so shiny? What’s your favourite luxury product you’ll never scrimp on? Mine’s fancy toilet roll.  Just listened to the episode about how to pay off your home loan faster and it was fantastic and made so much sense. But what about for people who maybe can only save couple of thousand a year? Not really enough to warrant floating, or is it? Or what if you’re just a terrible saver (asking for a friend) or live almost week to week? How much difference does using a mortgage offset actually make? How many ETFs is good. And if you can’t buy a house, what’s the next best thing to do please.  Links Follow Frances Cook on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, or join the Money Memo newsletter for a free weekly money tip in your inbox each week.
