I sit down with Amy Po-Ching of https://www.levridge.co.nz to find out what she is seeing out there and it is one word: uncertainty.

Kiwi are stuck with what decision to make and what direction to go in. All of this in a time where we’ve never had more information. Perhaps that is part of the problem? Because realistically, Kiwi today can build more financial certainty than ever before.

Drawing on her DIY Financial Plan framework, Amy shares steps she uses with clients to gain clarity on their current position, set bold yet realistic goals, and choose strategies that actually work in New Zealand’s economy. From balancing lifestyle with long-term security, you’ll hear why the path to financial freedom might be clearer than you think.

As always, no part of this podcast is intended as financial advice; it is intended as general information only.

Amy from Levridge.co.nz has come on as a sponsor of Keep The Change to help people with their financial planning.

New Zealanders pride themselves on the laid-back lifestyle but in life, being too cruisey can cost you. In a world that’s moving faster than ever, speed is a competitive advantage. Speed in decision-making. Speed in execution. Speed in learning.

First, you have to know where you’re going and what you’re doing it for. 

While others are still “thinking about it,” you’ve already tested, iterated, and improved. Speed creates momentum. It brings clarity. It exposes what works and what doesn’t, faster.

And for those who hate speed, being slow doesn’t always mean being thoughtful it often means being fearful, indecisive, or stuck in perfectionism. Kiwis need to shake off the “she’ll be right” mentality when it comes to life and growth.

Move faster than you’re comfortable with. Then watch how quickly things start happening.
