A KTC Listeners Journey With Money - Huia Pocklington

Huia grew up in a single-mum household on Waiheke Island where money was never talked about, then found herself as an adult who was, in her own words, "absolutely the wrong person to have a credit card." She opens up about her tertiary overdraft that took years to clear, the guilt she still feels using money for anything beyond basic needs, and how marrying into a family who talked openly about wealth completely changed her relationship with money.


This isn't an expert interview, it's a real, honest conversation with a KTC listener about the messy, ongoing journey of figuring money out.


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

  • MM 325 - Dear Young Peopel: Getting Rich Takes Time

    40:33|
    There seems to be a theme in my DM's from people in their 20s. Probably nothing new to be fair! When I was in my twenties, I wanted things to happen faster too. I've now interviewed hundreds of successful people across New Zealand. The pattern is often pretty boring. Almost every one of them eventually picked one thing and stayed with it for years. So, with that said, some advice: take it or leave it. Pssst...fuel your day with better nutrition (20% off first order): Radix.co.nz/KTCHey thanks for listening!

    36:09|
    Recently, a 17-year-old asking if he could pay me for an hour of business advice. What in the helly! I jumped on the call. 2 of them turned up. For me, I wanted to understand what a teenager was doing that made him think investing in advice was worthwhile. For the big reveal, turns out he and a mate spend their weekends knocking on doors, offering one simple service.Pssst...fuel your day with better nutrition (20% off first order): Radix.co.nz/KTCHey thanks for listening!

  • MM 323 - K Shape Economy Anyone?
