What happens if my child starts befriending or dating someone I'm really not a fan of. How do I protect them from getting played or getting into a toxic relationship?

When should we interfere with our children's personal lives? When and how do we put our foot-down and say "no, you can't hang out with this person"

How do we do that with respectful authority, that strikes a balance between making sure you're not ruling with an iron fist, and that our kids understand where we're coming from?

Mindworks' Registered Psychologist Sara Chatwin joins Tim Beveridge to unpack what can be done.

Property's been the golden-goose egg in New Zealand for as long as we've known. It was your retirement plan, your income stream, your lifeline, and what you worked towards.

The plan was simple: buy a house, pay it off and/or rent it out, and by the time you stopped working you had something solid behind you. It was our version of the American Dream.

But with the house market in a state of volatility or decline, interest rates and insurance going up, and capital gains tax becoming a hot-topic, is planning your life around the property ladder outdated? or is it a financial trap?

So is property still the asset it was, or should we starting widening our view elsewhere?

With Property becoming less of the golden-goose egg we've made it out to be, people are focusing more on how else they can be financially stable - and with that stability, comes being disciplined with your money - and keeping your spending affairs in order.

But how can we do that with loyalty programmes encouraging us to save? and mid-year sales going around?

How do we keep our eyes on the long-term goal, and stay on track with our savings?

Where should we even start, if we're so far behind?

Everyone's using headphones and blasting sounds at full-volume now; noise-cancelling ear-phones are as common and cheaper than ever; live shows and events with crowds are a must for most adults, and children are being left to their devices - listening to music and game-sounds without knowing what's too loud for their ears.

So how can we protect our hearing, and prevent hearing loss? When should we see a specialist or get tested?

What are we doing that's causing damage? and how can we judge what our hearing levels are like? 

With Tim Beveridge to talk about it: ENT Surgeon and Hearing Specialist, Dr Michel Neef

ACT has announced its plans to radically downsize Government departments, and bring fairness back into our benefit-system.
