Podcasts about superannuation

Treasury secretary Iain Rennie believes that long term, New Zealand's financial position is unsustainable, with the cost of superannuation playing a significant role in that. National has previously campaigned on raising the age of eligibility from 65 to 67, and its coalition partner ACT favour an age change. New Zealand First leader, Winston Peters spoke to Lisa Owen about what they think of an age raise.

New Zealand, we have a problem. It's one we must fix. During yesterday's Treasury announcement Iain Rennie made it clear we're in a tenuous financial position thanks to our ageing population and ballooning superannuation costs. So what can we do about it? Dr Claire Matthews is the Head of the School of Accountancy and Finance at Massey Business School, she joins Jesse to share some solutions.

The target cash rate is up to a 15-year high and unemployment is up too - but the Treasurer says the budget’s looking better than even he expected. Why?

On Monday, Pauline Hanson told voters her party would allow renters and prospective home buyers to withdraw their superannuation early. The policy was scant on details, but it had the desired effect of controlling the national debate. The same thing happened with the Pickering press conference. Normally, a leader of a right-wing political party admitting to taking drugs would not be good for electoral prospects. But, as Victorian political editor Chip Le Grand argues, the mea culpa had the opposite effect. Le Grand joins senior economics correspondent Shane Wright for Inside Politics.

One Nation's proposal to allow people to access 3% of their super contributions for three years is touted as a lifeline for lower-income earners who are struggling to get by. But with no modelling by the party to show the long-term effects, are we better off with our money in super or in our pockets?

What if I told you that almost none of the financial decisions you agonise over actually matter?   Most investors worry about interest rates, the next hot suburb, tax changes, market timing, stock picking, and whether they should buy now or wait.   But what if 95% of your financial future is shaped by just a handful of decisions - many of them made quietly, early, and often without enough thought?   That's the fascinating idea we're unpacking today with Stuart Wemyss, founder of ProSolution Private Clients, who says there are really only a handful of decisions in your entire life that determine 95% of your financial outcome, and most of them have got nothing to do with property, shares, or the share market at all.   By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly what those decisions are, why most people get them wrong without even realising it, and how getting just four or five calls right can matter more than decades of diligent budgeting or clever investment picking.   In this episode Stuart and I outline the handful of financial decisions that can shape most of your lifetime outcomes.   We unpack why the big calls matter far more than obsessing over small, daily money choices.   We look at how partner alignment can either strengthen your wealth plan or create ongoing conflict.   We explore why career choice is really an income strategy, not just a lifestyle preference.   We discuss how your spending and saving philosophy needs to change as life stages change.   We finish by covering the tactical decisions that compound over time, including property, home ownership, superannuation, and advice.   Takeaways  • Your life partner shapes money habits, saving priorities, and long-term financial harmony. • Shared financial goals reduce conflict and keep couples moving in the same wealth direction. • Career choice matters because income potential sets the ceiling for future investing capacity. • Choosing work aligned to skill and passion improves consistency, confidence, and earning power. • A spending philosophy adapts across life stages, unlike rigid budgets that quickly become outdated. • Some seasons demand aggressive saving, while others allow greater spending and enjoyment balance. • The first property often creates the equity needed to accelerate later wealth-building moves. • Buying quality in the right location can unlock borrowing power and future opportunity. • Your home can become a powerful fallback asset through equity and tax-free growth. • Superannuation decisions matter because fees and asset allocation compound over decades.     Answer this week's trivia question here –   https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Links and resources:   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.
