Question answered in today's Quick Fire Finance episode: 
"I read with interest the correspondence on “how much is enough” to retire on. It seems some people expect to live in a way that exceeds most of us during our working lives!
A major key is home ownership of course. Without that or a comfortable motor home perhaps, all bets are off.
At 85, with a debt-free house and by myself in Auckland, I find that NZ Super covers my everyday costs including rates and car, with a very small other income to handle any extras — but that’s often added to a modest nest egg.
Until my wife and best friend died we largely roamed the world for about 16 years. Yes, this cost a lot, but worth every penny, and when better to do so than when we could.
Now I know I can live comfortably and securely if not extravagantly on little more than Super."

Very few people want to hear about finance but everyone should because if we collectively upskill as a nation, then all our lives could be considerably better. With that in mind, it’s with great pleasure that I introduce to you the first episode of Quick-Fire Finance. A series where we share as much value as we can muster in the shortest amount of time.  With the first question of the series:
“Being recently retired, with savings invested in a family trust, we’re concerned whether new trust laws coming in next year mean we will have to tell family members what they will inherit when we die.
Everyone isn’t getting the same (or even aware they’re getting nothing or anything in some cases) and we’re worried the new disclosure requirements will affect our relationships with family and friends.
If we have to tell them everything now and provide investment reports, we’re very tempted to leave everything to charity — which would be less stressful but not really what we want to do.
Can you help explain please? We’ve saved very hard during our working lives”

People are in a perpetual zombie like state. Pushed through the factory of security and safety. Assembled in the lobby of forgotten dreams.  How long will you wait for that 'perfect moment' to live a life worth living not just enduring? I must admit this podcast went to the dogs when we got caught up in a fit of laughter but it just rammed home the distinction between thriving and surviving. Our guest Grant Wyatt the Human Resources Director for one of the largest FMCG companies in the world shares his life journey and strategy for inspiring a disengaged work force.

Will our children live in a world you're proud of? Will you look back with admiration knowing you helped shape their present? It's a hard pill to swallow knowing the doors to a better future could be closing in. That if we don't do something now, it could be too late. This idea stems from a businessman's mindset and a Father's love. That businessman and our guest, Colart Miles, has a far from ordinary story that will have you on the edge of seat. So join us as we discuss life in a war torn country, the 4Ps for a better future, bullet journaling, the business collective and strategic agility.

Behavioural finance is one of the most neglected and misunderstood aspects of investing. Many chase wealth and returns with no real comprehension of the underlying drivers that lead some to success and many to failure. It's about time we talk about it.

These days climbing the property ladder feels closer to falling. Increasing tax obligations, no negative gearing, more rights for tenants, and worst of all leaky homes. If you’re using rental property as your avenue for achieving financial freedom you need to go in with your eyes open or at the very least get Greg Moyle’s ‘property for the now’ prescription from this week’s episode.
Also, if you’re wanting to increase your financial understanding in a way that won’t put you to sleep then our free NZ Guide To Financial Freedom Toolkit is here to help.

The biggest threat to the success of your business is a resistance to change. Sure it’s unpredictable, uncomfortable, and unbearable at times, but, if you stagnate in your rigid view and fight the technological advancements of the world then the resulting effect is undeniable, just look at Blockbuster and Kodak.

Whether you believe in social media or not, the trend is happening with or without you. So, the question isn’t whether social media is right for you, but instead, how can you make it right for you?

A good first step would be to listen to this podcast episode with Chelsey Ritson the Founder of Social Media Coaching
Chelsey you’ll be surprised to hear, isn’t going to drag you through a long-winded pitch intended to convince you to have her do your social media marketing, but, instead give you the tangible skills you need to be successful at it yourself. A philosophy of digital marketing best summed up by the proverb: “give a man a fish and you’ll feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you’ll feed him for a lifetime.”
