It's a modern trend; one relationship, two separate residences, couples living apart together. But does this mean they are exempt from property relationship laws? And at a time when everything seems so precarious and unpredictable, why would anyone be considering raising interest rates?

In this episode, Susan answers questions about:

• Why are interest rates increasing?
• Do new build houses experience the same rate of capital growth when house prices are rising, or do they have a bit of depreciation when they lose their newness?
• What happens to my foreign pension if I come to live in New Zealand?
• Do relationship property laws apply if you don't live together?
• Is the government receiving more revenue from the rise in fuel prices?
• My kid spent up large online using my credit card. How do I prevent this from happening again?
• And how much have Roblox share prices risen since they were listed?
