EP 14: AGEING WORKFORCE FORUM - BLAIR McCARTHY “MYTHS INFLUENCE HOW WE THINK"

The Commission is the home of financial capability in New Zealand, helping Kiwis build wealthy lives. Our main focus is increasing the number of New Zealanders who are financially capable, putting them in the best possible position to reach their life goals and reach retirement in good financial health. 

Our work is community-based and we collaborate with other government agencies, non-government organisations, the commercial sector and the education sector. We also work with international organisations such as the OECD to contribute to the worldwide effort to build financial capability. 

We provide free and independent tools and guides to managing personal finances, which can be found on the Sorted website - http://sorted.org.nz and http://fundfinder.sorted.org.nz
