The Prosperity Project

What do professional investors do when the world is on fire?

Could paying for an electric vehicle out of your pre-tax salary make switching more affordable?

Mike Casey joins Nadine Higgins on The Prosperity Project to explain his proposal for an Australian-style EV leasing scheme, how it could work through employers and why he believes it would help more New Zealanders cut their transport costs.

They also discuss battery life, road user charges, depreciation and charging on longer trips — and when keeping the petrol car already in your driveway might still be the cheapest option.

Could your next car come out of your pre-tax pay?

Could a $5,000 investment at birth help set every New Zealander up for retirement?

Nadine Higgins speaks to Fraser Whineray about his KiwiSaver 2.0 proposal, including automatic enrolment at birth, compulsory employer contributions that rise gradually over time, and bringing the self-employed into the system.

They also discuss the trade-offs around first-home withdrawals, who ultimately pays for higher contributions, and why Whineray wants KiwiSaver access protected from changes to the pension age.

What would a better KiwiSaver actually look like?

Think you know where your money goes? Small, everyday purchases can add up to a very different picture — and cancelling a subscription might only be the start.

Nadine Higgins is joined by James Blair, Wealth Director at Lighthouse Financial, to explain how to give your finances a spring clean. They discuss setting realistic goals, identifying spending that doesn’t match your priorities, and using automatic payments to keep your savings on track.

Plus, how to approach mortgage repayments, why insurance needs change over time, what to review in your KiwiSaver, and why chasing shortcuts can put you further behind.
