The Prosperity Project

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

Most of us enter negotiations with a level of awkwardness and trying not to sound greedy. It's not the strongest tactic, but nor is making demands based on your perceived value. 

Negotiating expert and founder of Sheer Negotiations, Noa Sheer, joins Nadine to share her advice on how to handle everything from salary reviews to buying a house, The pair discuss the psychology behind successful negotiating and why women often undersell themselves before the conversation even starts.

There are simple mistakes that could cost you thousands, and a few tricks that could help you reach your negotiating goals.

Noa also explains why 'winning' isn’t always about money, and how understanding what really matters to both parties can completely change the outcome.

New Zealanders owe 9.5billion dollars in overdue tax, with small business owners and the self-employed most likely to get behind.

Director of Future Focused Accountants, Catriona Knapp, joins Nadine to explain what can go wrong if you don't get on top of your tax obligations and why it's better to face the debt head-on than bury your head in the sand. 

With the IRD cracking down on collecting overdue tax, now is the time to school up on what you need to know to avoid a knock on your door from the taxman.

What happens when you get behind on tax

Interest rates are rising again, fuel prices are climbing and many homeowners are wondering what to do next. But according to Squirrel mortgage adviser Adam Clark, too many Kiwis are focusing on the wrong things.

In this episode of The Prosperity Project, Adam joins Nadine Higgins to unpack the psychology of mortgages, why obsessing over tiny rate differences can backfire, and the financial habits that quietly cost borrowers hundreds of thousands over the life of a loan.

They also dive into refinancing, cashback offers, fixing strategies, mortgage structures, EV lending and the dangerous temptation of “cheap debt”.

Plus:
Why banks hike rates before the Reserve Bank moves
The truth about cashback “free money”
Why fixing for the shortest term isn’t always smartest
