Andrew Bascand & Sue Walker: Harbour Asset Management Co-CEO and Harbour Asset Management Senior Manager discuss energy payments

Sharon Chandra: Prenups can be challenged
More than 7800 divorces were granted last year, with nearly 6000 underage children seeing their parents split - that's about 8 divorces for every 1000 marriages. Looking deeper, about 5 percent of marriages end in 5 years, 15 percent end within 10, and more than a third dissolve within 25 years. With marriage numbers already declining, and the cost-of-living crisis still biting, how does a c

Janet Xuccoa: Your list of trustees has to be tight and reputable
Earlier this year, a Christchurch businessman was found borrowing millions of dollars against his family trusts for his clothing company - racking up a $3-million dollar spend. His sister prompted legal action, and two homes had to be sold as collateral. But that brings up a question - what can we leave behind for our children and family that won't just be squandered or swindled? Trusts and inheri

This week's budget announcement had a focus on sorting out the books, and no straight sugar hits for individuals.Infrastructure, healthcare and education seemed to be the clear priority of our fiscal plan, but three relief for the cost-of-living pressure many face. Along with that, council rates have gone up for Auckland and the South Island's West Coast, and the Reserve Bank's signall
Amanda Morrall: What does it really take to retire in 2026?
Retirement is the time most people dream of, the days where you no longer need to work or study, and you can enjoy a slow and simple life. But what does it actually take to retire? And, when Super is under threat, and the only stable thing about the global economic climate is its instability, can we rely on the pension being there when we're ready to retire?

Martin Hawes: Should the govt fund your retirement?
The age of retirement is back in the forefront of news this week after a report from the OECD recommended means testing the age of eligibility for NZ Super or risk an unsustainable rise in public debt. The agency says New Zealand's ageing population will continue to become a prevalent issue as the government tries to pull the economy out of the red. But some finance experts say we shou
Nathan Stanners: Don't get too caught up with checking your KiwiSaver balance
All investment accounts are a bit touch and go at the moment. If you're checking your KiwiSaver more than a few times a year, the amount of movement could really start to get to your head. But for those close to or at retirement age, or about to withdraw for whatever reason - a volatile market can make all the difference. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy inform
Sharon Chandra: You can't DIY a divorce
Divorce is still one of those taboo topics we tend to avoid, but up to 40% of marriages end that way here in New Zealand, so it's probably about time we become a bit more comfortable with it. It's not always a hostile end, some couples are even able to "DIY" their split in a sense - but is that really a good idea? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Janet Xuccoa: Most people should really have a trust
We often think of trusts as a way to protect your assets, especially if you work in certain fields - but a surprising number of regular families use them for a range of reasons. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Andrew Bascand: Iran conflict impacts more than just gas prices
The hot topic on everyone's minds right now is the price of petrol and diesel. It seems to be impacting the price of just about everything else, and we're staring down the barrel of a major risk of high inflation. The OCR remains steady for now, but it's only a matter of time before interest rates are on the up once again. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy infor

Rupert Carlyon: Global tension? Ignore your KiwiSaver
Tensions are high for everyone right now, and I know most people will either be nervously checking their KiwiSaver balance on the daily, or completely ignoring it until things calm down a bit. The most repeated advice advisors will be giving right now is to simply ignore your balance for the time being - that by the time the first bomb dropped, it was too late to change anything.

Nick Crawford: The mistakes people make with a windfall
We've all found ourselves day dreaming about where we'd spend a big Lotto win at one point or another. Realistically, many of us will come into a major windfall - but it's likely to come in the form of a bonus at work, or an inheritance. Is it okay to buy a new car and go on holiday? Or should we invest it all? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Martin Hawes: Are you losing money on ethical investing?
Ethical investing seems to be a hot topic when it comes to choosing an investment fund or KiwiSaver provider. I've often heard providers boast that their fund is ethical - they avoid weapons manufacturers, focus on renewable and sustainable energy - you won't feel a possible sense of guilt around where your money is going.

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.&nb
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.&n

Relationships cost money. It's not just about date nights at expensive restaurants, fancy shoes, or a new watch for Valentine's Day.

As you get older, your health becomes more and more of a worry, so life insurance seems like a no-brainer. But is it? Do you really need it after the mortgage is paid and the kids are on their own?

Confidence in New Zealand's rural sector has really started recovering over the past year or so.

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.

Martin Hawes: Higher earners increasingly seeking budgeting help
Queues at budgeting services are getting longer, and financial advisors are finding households with increasing incomes are seeking help.

Hamish Pepper: The NZ economy is finally recovering
The Reserve Bank shocked a lot of us last month when it cut the OCR by 50 basis points down to 2.5%.

Janet Xuccoa: What's the point of a trust?
Trusts are hardly mentioned outside of when wealth tax is in the news, or when someone mentions their accountant told them to get one. One side of the political aisle seems to have a good list of reasons as to why someone would need a trust, while the other side seems to be convinced that essentially the only reason anyone would have one would be to hide assets. So what is the real purpose o

An interesting report came out this week about budgets: the average household spending has only gone up two dollars a week since 2023. 50-percent of respondents said they're actively seeking out discounts and promotions - and 30-percent downgrade brands. It's one thing to be spending less on non-essentials, eating less, or wearing cheaper clothes, but sometimes that can chip away at our mental hea
