Financial & Insurance News

More so than usual, seeking financial advice is crucial. Recent research indicates that New Zealanders' financial worries have reached an all-time high.

• High Worry Levels: 70% of New Zealanders worry about money daily, weekly, or monthly.
• Inflation and Interest Rates: 89.6% are concerned about inflation, and 75.6% worry about interest rates.
• Limited Savings: Many New Zealanders have less than one month’s savings if they lose their job.

Remember, we’re here to help with your insurance needs and other financial wellness aspects.

We’re here to assist not only you but also your friends, family, and colleagues. Feel free to reach out if anyone needs help.

As adults, there are a few essential things we must have sorted out, and a Will is one of them. Yet, shockingly, almost half of New Zealanders don’t have one. But why is it crucial?

Why You Need a Will

• Asset Distribution: A Will is a legal document that outlines your wishes regarding the distribution of your assets after your death. Whether you have substantial wealth or just a few treasured possessions, a Will ensures clarity.
• Guardianship: Beyond assets, a Will also addresses guardianship. If you have children or pets, you can specify who will care for them. Plus, if you have life insurance, that forms part of your estate too.

Setting Up a Will

• Regular Updates: Life changes—marriage, divorce, having children. Regularly update your Will to reflect these shifts.
• Seek Legal Advice: For complex situations (blended families, intricate finances), consult a professional. They’ll help you draft a comprehensive Will.
• SimpleWill Option: If your situation is relatively straightforward, we may be able to assist with a Simple Will. Contact us to learn more.

Put this on your to-do list for 2024 and make it a priority to get it sorted.

Don’t Miss Out on KiwiSaver Government Contribution

As the 30th of June approaches, check your inbox. You should have received an email from your provider about the government contribution. Here’s why it matters:

• 50% Return: For every $1 you contribute to KiwiSaver, the government adds 50 cents, up to a maximum of $521 per year. In other words, to receive the maximum contribution, you must personally contribute $1,042.
• Important Reminders:
  • You can contribute even if you’re off work or self-employed.
  • KiwiSaver is a long-term strategy for your first home or retirement.

Check Your Contributions to Make Sure You’re on Track

1. Use myIR or contact your KiwiSaver provider.
2. Top up if needed before June 30.
3. Set up regular payments (e.g., $21/week) for the full government entitlement going forward.
