Darcy Ungaro / 3 Ways to Turbocharge KiwiSaver Ep 512

This April, the government's increasing the minimum contributions by 0.5% for employees and 0.5% for employer contributions. Too little, too late? Step in the right direction?

Personally I think when the government intervenes, it may already be too late. We need to think of KiwiSaver as a core pillar of retirement provisioning, instead of a 'bit on the side'.

We're driving around in de-tuned cars, because we've been trained to avoid volatility.

In this one, I share the 3 simple turbochargers that you can slap on your cheap runabout, and turn into something you're excited about.
