Mint's Rebecca Thomas: 'Money was not a taboo subject in our household'

New Zealand’s major political parties appear to be moving closer together on KiwiSaver – but there are some significant differences in how far they’re willing to go.

Liam Dann and Tamsyn Parker look at plans to increase employer contributions, whether compulsory saving is the answer to New Zealand’s retirement shortfall, and why businesses may ultimately carry much of the cost.

Plus, rising US interest rates and bond yields could have consequences for Kiwi mortgages and KiwiSaver balances, while new GDP figures may offer some hope that New Zealand’s fragile economic recovery is finally gaining momentum.

Caci founder Jackie Smith didn’t set out to build one of New Zealand’s best-known beauty businesses.

Starting out as a nurse, Smith and her husband David launched their first clinic in 1994 before expanding Caci into a nationwide franchise.

She joins Liam Dann on Money Talks to discuss the risks they took along the way, why they kept reinvesting in the business rather than spending their success, and why she believes getting ahead financially requires sacrifice.

Plus, Smith explains why sometimes taking the seemingly safe option can be the biggest risk of all.

Money Talks: Caci Clinic founder Jackie Smith on how she’d transform healthcare

Weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are already transforming lives – but could their impact on the economy be even bigger?

Liam Dann and Tamsyn Parker look at predictions GLP-1 drugs could boost the US economy by hundreds of billions of dollars, slash healthcare costs and fundamentally change the food industry.

And could New Zealand be one of the big winners as demand shifts towards protein?

Plus, they break down the latest OCR decision, why different parts of New Zealand arguably need very different interest rates, and what to expect from the next GDP figures.
