Keep The Change

Has NZ's Economy Hit Rock Bottom? What's Next In 2026?


Listen Later

"Survive to 25" was bullshit. We're halfway through 2025 and it still feels brutal. But the data is starting to tell a different story.


Luke and Mikey break down what's really happening and why 2025 might be looked back on as the economic bottom. We cover the fatigue everyone's feeling, why people are leaving at record levels, and the regional differences across the country.


The reality? Some are crushing it while others are struggling. The difference isn't luck, it's taking control of your income instead of waiting for someone else to save you.
