Money Sweetspot is here to help reverse that debt spiral and support New Zealanders to regain control of their finances. I sit down with CEO Sasha Lockley to ask her about the impressive debt consolidation social enterprise that is Money Sweetspot. It only started becoming public facing in March 2023 and since then it has helped 600 people with their debt. They do this via ‘debt resets’ that give people a chance to have high interest debt rolled into a cheaper rate, with a single, manageable payment. In addition, Money Sweetspot provides free access to valuable financial education resources. Customers can even earn credits (that pay down their debt faster) when they tick off educational modules. There is nothing like this in the world and Sasha needs a hand to find the right people to use the service and to spread the word. Hopefully this can help some of you.“Our support for Money Sweetspot is part of our broader commitment to enhancing the social, cultural, and financial wellbeing of New Zealanders. With our goal to deliver $50 million in low or no-interest lending by 2024, we’re actively supporting a more inclusive and sustainable financial future.”For more information visit https://www.moneysweetspot.co.nz/I have a goal to help 100,000 Kiwis improve their financial literacy.

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?

Housing affordability is always a hot topic in this country, and for very good reason. The cost of a roof over our head is a massive issue with many flow on impacts. New research shows almost one-in-five New Zealanders are spending more than 50% of their household income on rent or a mortgage - a report from global infrastructure firm GHD. So what can YOU do about this?Hey thanks for listening! Please take some form of action from this content, don’t just be a consumer, become a producer!

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. We know deep down that this isn’t a solution. So here is where to turn to...Hey thanks for listening! Please take some form of action from this content, don’t just be a consumer, become a producer!
