Diesel is a big driver of our economy, no pun intended. If the squeeze comes on diesel, what will be the impact on your back pocket? Is it fair for someone to live most of their life in Australia, but come back here to claim the pension? And who remembers carless days?

In this episode, Susan answers questions about:

• Have we forgotten about diesel drivers?
• Can someone work most of their lives in Australia and then come back to New Zealand to claim the pension?
• Do church-owned retirement homes enjoy tax exemptions?
• Can a 70-year-old join KiwiSaver?
• Why are there hurdles to get your funds out of KiwiSaver when you turn 65?
• What do you do if you're asset rich but cash poor?
• Will the rise in the benefit be enough for households to get by?
• And when did New Zealand bring in carless days? Did it work?
