There was a survey out last week that broadly supported the Government's moves around KiwiSaver, as in the 3% and 3% going to 4% and 4%. But they wanted the Government to do something about the cut in contribution from the state. Small hint – if you rely on the Government for any consistency around long term projects, forget it. From the very beginning of KiwiSaver, the Government were always going to be the weak link. When it comes to big picture stuff, dedication and focus from a government is a casualty of the three year political cycle. They were never going to be our friend on retirement savings. The best advice I offer anyone, including our kids, is do it yourself. It's your life, your decision and your future, so do it yourself. To show you how hopeless we are at saving in this country, figures released last week in America showed their KiwiSaver, what they call their 401k, hit a record high at 14.3%. So while we are mucking around on 3-4% they are up to over 14%. Here is the kicker – the industry says it really should 15% if you want to be comfortable. A psychological step change is required and I'm not sure we will ever get there. Whether its employer contributions that get offered instead of more pay, or whether it's the Australian style compulsion, a lot of countries do it a lot of different ways and most of them have dealt with the age of retirement as well. We basically are stuck with 65-years-old, and angst around even a debate about changing it, and far too many people who get to retirement and are stuck with a state-funded payout that has never been good and will not serve you well, if it's all you have to live off. There is of course no reason for this to even be a problem. Lee Kuan Yew many years ago in Singapore took a third world country, told them to save, forced them to save, and now they are rich. The answers are all there. Australia has it sorted, the Norway fund is famous, and even the Americans at 14.3% seem to have it solved. We need to look and learn and then get our act together and apply a bit of basic discipline to our long-term futures that don't rely on a government.

This episode of The Power of Zero Show revolves around a recent Ray Dalio video in which he issued warnings about the U.S. debt crisis. In the clip, Dalio appears to be giving America three years to get their act together and to right the fiscal ship of state. Dalio mentions the draft of his new book that goes through the mechanics of the debt – and highlights the supply-demand problem he believes will occur if the deficit doesn't go from the current 7.2% of GDP to about 3% of GDP. Dalio touches upon what people should do when there isn't an adequate supply-demand balance. He believes that looking back at history will show you that the current problems are the results of history repeating itself. A recession isn't the one thing Dalio is afraid of… the breakdown of the monetary order is!  Host David McKnight talks about the bid other countries may have on the U.S. fiscal debt, as well as the related crisis of confidence of sorts. According to a recent Penn Wharton study, if the U.S. doesn't right their fiscal ship of state by 2040, no combination of raising taxes and/or reducing spending will arrest the financial collapse of the nation. David believes that in the next 10 to 15 years, the U.S. is likely to need huge infusions of capital to avoid a financial collapse, the likes of which we haven't seen since the Great Depression. What should you do? If you have the lion's share of your Retirement Savings, IRAs or 401(k)s, you need to act now while tax rates are historically low. Since we're on the cusp of Trump extending his tax cuts for another 8 years, it's important to know that, if you count 2025, we'll have historically-low tax rates for another 9 years. David is in favor of taking action before tax rates increase, also because he believes that, come 2034, tax rates aren't going to simply revert back to what they were in 2017. If the American fiscal ship doesn't get right on time, we could go back to seeing high tax rates that were part of the past – such as 94% in the last two years of World War II, or 89% as it was throughout the entire decade of the 70s.     Mentioned in this episode: David's national bestselling book: The Guru Gap: How America's Financial Gurus Are Leading You Astray, and How to Get Back on Track DavidMcKnight.com DavidMcKnightBooks.com PowerOfZero.com (free video series) @mcknightandco on Twitter  @davidcmcknight on Instagram David McKnight on YouTube Get David's Tax-free Tool Kit at taxfreetoolkit.com Ray Dalio Penn Wharton

What if your financial story was something you felt empowered and excited by?In this episode, Jessica sits down with Britt Baker, seasoned investor and co-founder of Dow Janes. Britt has a background in consulting and a degree from Harvard Business School, however, it wasn't until years later, when she saw many of her close friends struggling with their own finances that she realized how many women lacked the financial literacy to build wealth.In this conversation, Britt breaks down the exact steps she teaches to get out of debt, build an emergency fund, invest with confidence (even if you've never done it before), and move from financial fear into financial freedom. – basically, everything you wish you learned in school. This is more than a conversation about saving and investing—it's a holistic look at how healing your relationship with money unlocks manifestation. If you've ever felt stuck in survival mode, afraid to look at your bank account, or convinced investing “just isn't for you,” this episode is for you. Get ready to rewrite your money narrative and step into the identity of someone who is not only financially secure, but magnetic.Find the Complete Show Notes Here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources: SALE IS LIVE! $22/monthJoin the Pathway MembershipJoin our membership to access the TBM Money Challenge The Pathway Membership gives you unlimited access to all of our manifestation workshops—including How to Manifest, Unblocking Your Inner Child, Shadow, Love, Money, Rock Bottoms, Ruts, and Energetic Updates —plus 70+ self-hypnosis tracks designed to unlock your full potential.LEARN MORE HERE Get the latest from TBMJoin our Money Challenge - 3 weeks to your next level of abundanceTake our Free Money Quiz - find out what level of wealth consciousness you are at Join the Pathway now to get full access to our Money Challenge now! New to TBM?

Many people delay retirement simply because they've been told outdated financial advice that no longer applies. In this episode, Adam Olson breaks down five of the most common retirement myths that keep individuals from stepping into financial freedom. These misconceptions—such as needing to work until 65 for Medicare or relying solely on pre-tax savings—can drastically impact when and how you retire.Listeners will learn how strategic tax planning, cash reserves, and alternative income streams can open up retirement opportunities sooner than expected. With insights from years of experience in financial planning, Adam exposes the truth behind Monte Carlo retirement scores, the importance of balancing pre-tax and post-tax savings, and why income security matters more than high investment returns.Key Takeaways: • You don't have to work until 65 to retire—alternative healthcare options exist. • Pre-tax savings aren't always the best; tax-free income strategies can maximize retirement security. • A low Monte Carlo retirement score doesn't mean you can't retire—it means you need a better strategy. • Saving every dollar isn't the key; balance and a clear financial plan matter more. • High investment returns are important, but steady retirement income is the true key to financial stability.If you're in the “retirement red zone” and wondering whether 2025 could be your year to retire, take the first step today.
