  • 78. Public Schools VS Private Schools
    Jun 11 2024

    Today we’ll be chatting about whether private schools are “worth” the investment.

    We'll look at both the cost of sending your children to private school vs public, and weigh up some potential pros and cons of doing so.

    Disclaimer: the school you send your child to is very personal to your family, the child and your financial situation. This is not for us to tell you what to do, nor is this to enforce our views, but more to shed light on factors that might sway you from a financial standpoint.

    Specifically, we chat about:

    • What is the most expensive private school in NZ
    • How free is it *really* to go to a public school
    • The average costs of each option and how much you may end up spending through years 9-13
    • Outside factors to consider such as connections, class sizes and quality of learning

    And much more!

  • 77. What is Relationship Property?
    Jun 4 2024

    Today we’re back to chat about all things relationship property.

    Relationship property can be a bit of a sticky subject, particularly if you are approaching being in a de facto relationship, looking at getting married or otherwise.

    To chat with us today is a special guest joining us to share his knowledge on the topic, as we're by no means an expert in this area. Today we're joined by Will Eddowes, General Manager at Agreeable, a Kiwi legal startup that helps couples get relationship property sorted online.

    Specifically, we chatted about:

    • What is relationship property and what that entails
    • When is a ‘good’ time to get a prenup/relationship agreement?
    • What is agreeable? And what services do they provide?

    And plenty more!

    Today we’re back with another Money Moments episode, where we chat to real Kiwis about their experience with money.

    This time, the real Kiwis are us! In this episode, we’re in the hot seat to give you an update on what’s going on with our lives financially. Our last check-in was back in December about 6 months ago, so let’s get stuck in on what we've been up to.

    Specifically, we chat about:

    • What Cat's balance sheet is looking like and how it's changed since 2019
    • How Luke's student loan is going, in the early days of the podcast this was sitting well over $100,000!
    • Why Christine feels like she's financially left behind compared to her peers
    • Why Christine is torn on going on a holiday vs saving the money instead
    • How Christine and her partner, Ollie, are in a loop between buying a house or not

    Plus plenty more goodness!
