Longer episode this week running you through my crazy week. Then into this weeks lesson: There is a great quote: ‘know yourself to know others’ and it’s a great reminder that often we are quick to judge or make sense of other people but we need to ask ourselves if we have done the same for ourselves?

We spoke briefly about how January wasn’t very flash for investors. On the 31st of January I was brave enough to pull up my Financial Position. $37k of networth gone! Crypto, stocks, kiwisaver, sharesies, it had all sh!t the bed to put it politely. This is a time for logic, not emotion. Hey thanks for listening!

On the weekend, I was giving someone a hand with their finances and we noticed something pretty alarming. The cost of petrol and parking for them was over 10% of their total salary. We know from recent data that transport was the second biggest contributor to inflation for 2021. Statistics New Zealand said during last year the average price of 91 octane petrol increased 30%, from $1.87 per litre t...

What’s going on? A quick summary of some of the thoughts I had over the long weekend when thinking about prices going up, debt levels, the economy and what we can do to get back in control. Enjoy!

If you haven’t bumped into my passion project ‘Boys Get Paid’, you might find this subject line very confusing. Two Saturdays ago we hosted an event for 850 people. We also run a ‘punters club’ where we pool everyone's money and bet it on behalf of everyone on the night. We had over 7,500 people deposit money from all over the country (and a few Aussies). This was the 5th year of doing this and we...

From time to time, I will go through the assets that I own and I will question myself about whether they are performing. Buy and hold is a great simplistic strategy, but sometimes, things can change and sometimes our tactics need to change as the world does. We discuss getting clear on thinking about the purpose for purchasing any type of asset. Hey thanks for listening! Please take some form of a...

Lately, we’ve been talking about prices going up and most people are probably just skimming past it thinking it doesn’t apply too much to them. I’ve put together a practical exercise you can do over the weekend. If you are brave enough, you need to look at EVERY cost in your life. This isn’t fun, but neither is not sleeping or worrying about money, so get this done. Hey thanks for listening! Pleas...

Have you heard this saying before: ‘Your network is your net worth’? From what I have seen (as much as we might not like it), these sayings are very true and we will all see this playout throughout our lives and probably even use these sayings. Sometimes these things can work for us and other times against us. Ultimately, you need to build connections over time so that you can get these things wor...

Last week we were talking about the vehicle we are in and whether that is going to make it when it comes to taking us to our desired destination of financial goals. I want to tell you a story about one of my best mates. He recently sent through a screenshot of shares that he owns and they had gone past one million dollars in total. This isn’t a sharesies account. In fact, it is one share and one s...

Bring on 2022! I’m not talking about the car you’ve been thrasing for years Luke. I am talking about the vehicle that is taking you to your eventual income and wealth. If you look at your income earner (your job, business, investments etc) as a vehicle, you can ask yourself whether this vehicle will take you to your ultimate desired destination? Hey thanks for listening! Please take some form of a...

This summer, when you see kids out on the street selling lemonade, fruits etc., then stop and reward them for their work. You never know who you will inspire. I learnt a lot about business selling feiojas at my gate when flatting at university. Merry Christmas from Keep The Change! Hey thanks for listening!

As we raise incomes in NZ, something else is happening...we are getting people closer and closer to a 30% tax bracket which kicks in from $48,000 of income. We will need to educate people that this isn’t 30% tax on ALL of their income but only the income above $48,000 (see tax rates below). Hey thanks for listening!

The pay decrease - the increase in interest paid to the bank leading to less money left in the household for spending. Kiwis are obsessed with ‘locking in’ the best interest rate and playing the ‘will they go up or down’ game. In 2022 this means billions & billions (fair bit more than lotto) of dollars of debt will roll off their current locked in interest rates. Hey thanks for listening! Plea...
