Welcome to the first-ever episode of "Where's My Money?" – the podcast that's all about digging ourselves out of debt and finding that financial freedom we're all after. I'm Reagan, and I've been right where you might be now: staring down a mountain of debt and feeling like there's no way out. But guess what? There is hope!

As money has moved into the digital space, physical cash has become less prevalent.   Only 57.2 percent of kiwis used cash for everyday purposes in 2023, down from 95.8 percent in 2019. Those using cash tend to be among more vulnerable groups, including the young, elderly and disabled, and are more likely to live rurally.  Hannah McQueen joins Tim Beveridge to discuss whether all kiwis would save more by stashing the debit cards and reverting to the use of physical cash.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Reagan White has a mountain of debt - one point one million dollars to be exact. It's an eye watering amount and it's been keeping him awake at night. In fact, things were so close to the line he decided he needed to call in the big guns. Now, thanks to Enable Me's Hannah McQueen, he's getting back on track. But how much is too much to borrow, and what levers can you pull when your mortgage debt's out of control? Reagan decided to share his story on his new podcast, 'Where's My Money' - and he spoke to Duncan about his financial journey, and how Kiwi's can climb out of a mountain of debt.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With everyone talking about mortgages and interest rates, it's easy to forget that property is just one part of your overall wealth plan and strategy.   Hannah McQueen joined Jack Tame for a chat about the considerations people should have towards long-term wealth creation and what homeowners should be preparing for once the housing market has settled again.  And, if you're not interested in property, how to choose your investment strategy while the markets are down.    LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Data published by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency across the ditch showed some of Australia's biggest companies have had their dirty laundry aired as gender wage gap data from thousands of organisations is made public for the first time.

Homeowners with a fixed-rate mortgage expiring soon likely perked up when forecasters started suggesting that interest rates could start falling this year. But the Reserve Bank isn't convinced the inflation beast is back in the bag just yet. With conflicting information and no guarantees on when, how far, or how fast interest rates will fall, how can you assess your position and determine the best pathway forward?   Hannah discusses strategies on how to proceed when interest rates are sky high but anticipated to fall, why you should calculate the interest rate differential when you want to fix short-term, and why favourable conditions demand a focused mindset to maximise progress and avoid complacency.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of Hannah's key lessons (and an important point we make to all of their clients) is that financial progress shouldn't wait for perfect conditions. When life gets uncertain and throws a curveball, that's the exact time financial opportunities tend to reveal themselves - ironically, at the least opportune moment. After the year that's been, we can probably all relate to that feeling!   So the question becomes: If financial opportunity presented itself, would you see it for what it is, or would it simply pass you by? Our experience with clients would suggest the latter. So in the current climate where the high cost of living does not want to budge, where interest rates remain painfully high and many of us are due to refix if we haven't already, why is Hannah so optimistic? What are the opportunities she's seeing on the horizon and how do we see it for what it is and take advantage of it?  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hannah McQueen has just returned to New Zealand after running the New York Marathon. While preparing for this event, she identified a few parallels between what it takes to run a marathon and achieving one's financial goals.    The notes:  - Have a goal.  - Understand your own limitations - not everyone's a runner and not everyone is naturally inclined to make the best financial decisions (even if they know what they are).    So:  - Get someone who's got experience/expertise to help you build a plan to achieve that goal.  - This means the plan is tailored to you.  - This means there's an expert on hand in the event you experience a setback and the plan needs to flex or adapt to a new situation.  - There's someone to be accountable to (some of us aren't very good at being accountable to ourselves).    And if you are working with a professional:  - Trust the process - others may have a different plan to you, so don't compare yourself to others.  - If you feel like you're not ‘doing enough' or progress has stalled, trust that your plan has been designed with you and your goals in mind and probably has a few contingencies if things don't go to plan. You may not see the progress you're making —or see how it's helping you get to your end goal— but that doesn't mean that you're not 100% on track.  - It will be uncomfortable, especially at first. But that doesn't mean it's not worth doing.    LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The results are in and it's looking very likely we'll have some form of National-led government for at least the next three years. So, what will this actually mean for our finances and the housing market? Will it be the boost some were hoping, or will the impact not be quite as much as people expect?  Hannah McQueen joined Jack Tame to give her insight and answer a few questions about what kiwis should expect.

Half of mortgages are due to be refixed over the coming 12 months and many of those will be rolling onto much higher interest rates than where they are right now.  While predictions last year were that interest rates would start easing towards the end of this year, it now looks like it won't happen until mid-next year, if not later. And while the OCR hasn't shifted since May, banks have continued increasing their interest rates, unnecessarily adding to the pressure.  Yet despite all this —and the extensive media coverage that mortgage interest rates and the cost of living has been getting— people are still not prepared for what they'll do when their mortgages come up for refixing, and how they'll cope with this increase in cost.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With tax changes and policy changes promised by differing parties – where should the election feature in your financial plan? Plenty of people have spent the past year holding off on financial decisions, on the expectation that a change in Government would have a material impact on their wealth creation plans – but is that a sound strategy, or a risky one?  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

National leader Chris Luxon and deputy Nicola Willis have unveiled their long awaited tax plan- as the clock ticks down to October's election. If elected, National would shift personal income tax brackets for inflation and expand tax credits, and cover it by slashing public service spending and rolling out a 15 percent foreign buyer tax on homes. Enable.Me's Hannah McQueen says the shifted personal income tax brackets would give Kiwi households an extra $100-$250 a fortnight- which would be helpful to New Zealand's middle class. "For some context, if you had a mortgage of $400,000 and you were on a 3 percent rate to a 7 percent rate, your repayments have increased by $450 a fortnight- $250 of that is now going to be offset." National also want to bring back public transport fares for children and scrap the 50 percent discount for under-25's, a policy that Free Fares NZ campaigner Steve Maran disagrees with. "Removing that is a step in the wrong direction. Many low-income families have benefitted from this initiative, which made it easier for all of them to get to school and get to work." The Property Council's Leonie Freeman has also voiced disapproval at National's plan to remove depreciation for non-residential buildings to pay for tax cuts. "They've been flip-flopping on this policy for some time. The commercial property industry is in a pretty challenging time at the moment, there's already pressures like the need to upgrade for seismic strengthening."

Money Personalities.

There are plenty of indicators suggesting that things could be about to turn when it comes to the property market. Building consents, migration numbers, LVR changes, auction clearance rates, interest rates peaking, etc – however, it's important to call out what we've (hopefully!) learned from the pandemic surge and slump. Property is not just a one-way bet, it's best as a long-term investment, so that means people need to go into it with their eyes wide open in order to be able to hold it long term and avoid getting burnt. Especially if things do start to rise again, you shouldn't rush in without doing your homework, knowing your numbers, and understanding your hold strategy (people definitely seem to suffer from FOMO if they think they're missing out on a rise in the property market and rush in).

As a lot of rules have changed or tightened up and made residential property investment a slightly different prospect, more and more people are asking whether they should instead consider commercial investment property.   There's a lot to weigh up, so I thought it could be an interesting discussion to have – what are the pros, cons, things you might not realise, things you need to consider, lending arrangements, potential yield and capital gain and how does it compare?  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hannah McQueen has been running enable.me for more than 15 years, and in that time has seen a huge change in the number of people who own shares. The sharesies/hatch/DIY investor revolution means many people have a portfolio when previously it was only those who had significant wealth, or a personal passion, who did.  The problem is there are more and more people randomly selecting shares, rather than investing strategically, or in a diversified way. FMA research shows a decent number of people invest due to FOMO or because someone said it was a good idea, without doing any research themselves – and our observations echo that.  As a learning mechanism, or a bit of fun – great – but for most people the margin for error to land them where they need to be for retirement is too small to invest too much that way.  It's not a dig at investment platforms – just a warning that there are risks to directing too much of your investment funds in a scattergun approach. I liken it to picking the route before you've identified the destination – who knows where you'll end up.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The downsizing dilemma – it's a natural progression to downsize the family home when the kids fly the nest and you head into retirement, but people usually expect it to release more cash than it does.   If you find yourself in that situation you can end up in a pickle.   Why does it not provide as much of your retirement savings as people expect?   Why does timing become important?   Does moving to a cheaper area solve all that?   How do you avoid having an over reliance on your home, and what do you do if you are reliant on it?  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're coming up to the end of the financial year, which doesn't mean much for most wage and salary earners these days, but it will mean something to many property investors, who will see the next step down in the phase-out of interest cost deductibility.   Those who aren't exempt (only those who bought a new build after the end of March 2021 are exempt) will see deductibility drop from 75% to 50% - which means they may end up paying tax on a profit they're not making.   While I know few have sympathy for property investors, many of them are just average people who have bought a property to help fund their retirement and the rules have changed.   If you layer in higher interest costs, it should prompt a re-think about whether they should continue to own that property, and if not that property, how else should they fund their retirement gap.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With how high interest rates could now go scaring some people a little, and with terms of four and five years only fractionally higher than terms for one or two years, some are probably wondering whether they should opt for a little more certainty and go long, especially if anything over 7% becomes problematic for them. But fixing long term can be problematic in the context of the economic environment we're heading into – and there are some lessons from the GFC on this.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mortgages are the story of the week – that inflation reading has pushed up fixed term interest rates for the first time in a while, when most thought that fixed term rates had peaked.  Whether it's hit you yet or not, interest is soon going to be taking a bigger chunk of your income – so what should you be doing to ensure you not only continue to survive, but continue to make progress while interest rates are rising?

The stats suggest not many of us do it, but there are compelling reasons why you would – and also circumstances when you wouldn't. Most people think only of getting a better interest rate – but there are more strategic reasons why you might consider switching (and it's not as much of a faff as it used to be) – plus there are some significant cash incentives on offer as the banks compete for business amid slower growth in lending.
