As the retirement debate heats up ahead of the general election, we’re talking to Max Rashbrooke, a political writer and researcher, and Matt McPherson, the head of Sharesies KiwiSaver. With the launch of the Sharesies Kids contribution, we explore the power of compounding interest to renew our national savings and revive home ownership hopes—and why the current system could leave nearly half of us facing a retirement below the poverty line. 

Hear proposals to improve all of our futures, from making employer contributions mandatory to enrolment at birth, and how putting 100 ordinary New Zealanders in a room could provide a new pathway to answers.
