Keep The Change

The cost of insurance has been climbing and many people are thinking about self-insuring themselves - i.e. not having insurance but thinking they will stack money aside to cover eventual issues. But how realistic is this and can it work? I sit down with Johny Winstone who has over 6,000 clients and we discuss all things insurance. I promise it isn’t boring and you will learn something. We explore things like: What are the most common things people insure? Are people ignoring insurance? What we don’t know about insurance that we need to? You will enjoy these stories and this will get you thinking more about insurance and it’s importance.How To Find Johny  ⬇️https://www.insurance-market.co.nz/brokers/insurance-market-collective/our-team/johny-winstonehttps://www.instagram.com/johnywinstone/I have a goal to help 100,000 Kiwis improve their financial literacy.

This is a re-release of an earlier podcast that other listeners have found very useful.The number of people struggling financially is really starting to increase. Nearly 12% of Kiwis are currently behind on their debt repayments: personal loans, credit cards, BNPL etc. For some reason, it can be really hard for us Kiwis to ask for help. It seems to be something we’ve mastered - not asking for help. A lot of people will feel helpless or even embarrassed about their debt levels, so they will simply bury their heads in the sand.
