Finance for the rest of us

There isn’t a lot of financial education in NZ. Studies say the biggest difference between rich and poor is agility for long term planning. Every kiwi should be listening to this to plant the seeds for long term financial plans in their life. Good, sound advice from someone who started out where most of us did. Unbiased financial advice from someone who isn’t trying to sell you a product and has your interest at heart. Solid, well produced listen.
