  • From Reckless To Responsible With Money & Mindset w Bryce Helms (KTC Listener) [Changers]

    52:38|
    In this episode, I sit down with Bryce who shares his transformation: both financially and professionally, thanks to the lessons he learned from Keep The Change.After years of feeling stuck in a high-paying but limiting career, loaded with mortgages, credit card debt, and even Afterpay purchases for dog food, Bryce had a KTC wake-up call. He realised the power of accountability, mindset, and the importance of taking control of his situation.Fast forward through countless hours of study, sacrifices, and laser focus, and he’s now stepping into a new role as a mortgage adviser in Mikey’s team at Guardian Smith. To do this, Bryce had to leave behind a comfortable salary to pursue something with no ceiling, no excuses, and full ownership of the outcome.We talk about breaking free from bad financial habits, overcoming limiting mindsets, and what it means to back yourself completely. This is an inspiring story of taking risks, embracing discomfort, and building a future of purpose and growth.If you’re feeling stuck or searching for your next opportunity, this episode will remind you that with the right mindset and determination, anything is possible. Bring it on!If you need to find Bryce, do that here: https://www.instagram.com/kiwi_angler/I believe 100,000 kiwi with better financial literacy will create a better New Zealand. The Generate KiwiSaver Scheme are helping me reach this goal. Cheers Generate. Head to generatekiwisaver.co.nz/change to find out more.
  • Money Mail 243 - 2025 The Year To Focus On What You Do Have

    30:36|
    When did we get so good at dismissing other people's actions to keep ourselves stuck and upset at our own situation? It makes no sense to me. Focusing on what you don’t have will only hold you back. You need to flip your mind to start looking at your own opportunities. This will give you a good reminder to focus on what you do have and ignore those who decide not to live like this.Hey thanks for listening!

  • KiwiSaver Hardship Rising & Car Loan Carnage w David Verry (Financial Mentor)

    30:26|
    David is back to teach us about exploitative car loans, and one lender who is now being prosecuted by the Commerce Commission. We can all learn what to look out for when taking on debt.We also discuss how KiwiSaver hardship applications are also on the rise, with more people turning to their retirement savings to manage debt, cover legal costs, or cope with reduced income. We discuss the limitations of this approach, how it often leaves broader financial issues unresolved, and the thing David sees that that upsets him the most.We also again highlight the importance of free, confidential, and non-judgmental budget services like MoneyTalks, available to everyone in NZ. I have a goal to help 100,000 Kiwis improve their financial literacy. Generate KiwiSaver Scheme has sponsored Keep The Change to help me reach more people and make this a reality. Cheers Generate. Head to generatekiwisaver.co.nz/change to find out more..

    This is a re-release of an earlier podcast that other listeners have found very useful.Everybody loves to believe that property doubles every ten years but maybe we need it to when we factor in the cost of the things we need to pay for in the lifetime of a property. In this example, we will look at purchasing a home over a ten-year window and the things that you should consider paying for during that ten years. Hey thanks for listening!
