Your friends might not want to talk about money, but I do! Hi, I’m Ruth and I’m a blogger on Personal Finance and in this podcast I tell the stories of Kiwis and their experiences with the money in their lives. How do they use it or how does it use them? Where do they save and invest it and does it work? What are their financial triumphs and financial train wrecks? How can you extract the most out of life and spend as little as possible while doing it? Join me as I ask the questions everyone else is too polite to ask but is dying to know about New Zealanders and their money. Happy Saving! Ruth

This week I’m excited to tell you about Ryan Johnson, a fellow blogger on personal finance in New Zealand. He had a very interesting start to his working career as it involved a pack of 52 playing cards. He is self taught when it comes to investing and is putting careful thought into exactly where to invest his savings and he openly shares that with me today. With student loans now paid off he has...

01. The Tipping Point: A Buddha and a Movie 07.11.2017 34:06

This week I had a chat with Bradie from Kiwi Girl On A Budget who has gone well down the rabbit hole of debt and is busy finding her way back out. She bought not one but three rental properties in one year in an attempt to set herself up for life. But life has a way of turning you in another direction when you least expect it and a series of events led her to completely rethink the way she thought...
