Māori actor, singer, and comedian Pio Terei joins us to chat about saving habits, generational wealth, and how Māori fare when it comes to financial outcomes. 

We learn about what it’s like after turning 65—and as it turns out, when it comes to KiwiSaver, there’s still a heap you need to know. 

Like “What happens when you die or get divorced?”.

And “Can you keep contributing to your KiwiSaver account after 65?”.

Key takeaway? You may have finished formal employment, but your KiwiSaver account is still working for you.
