Today, I’m grateful to be speaking with Ian Woolford, the head of money and cash at the Reserve Bank of NZ.Central Bank Digital Currency, branded as 'digital cash' by the RBNZ, has the potential to give the banking scene the boot up the backside we desperately need.

Concerns exist, absolutely, especially over the long term. A responsible and trustworthy RBNZ is the at the base-layer of our financial system.

Our trust in them must therefore increase over time.Read more______________________Online courses:The Home Buyers Blueprint: Get a better home; Get a better mortgage.The KiwiSaver Millionaire Roadmap: From 6 figures to 7; Get a Rockstar Retirement!New Wealth Foundations: Personal finance from a wealth-builder's perspective.Take the free, 5-part online course Crypto 101: Crypto with Confidence (In partnership with Easy Crypto)Book in a free 15-min phone call with Darcy Ungaro (financial adviser)- click on this link.Get SocialSign up to the newsletter!Check out the most watched/downloaded episodes hereFollow on YouTube , Instagram, TikTok: @theeverydayinvestor, X (@UngaroDarcy), LinkedIn.Learn more about Ungaro & Co Financial Advice: www.ungaro.co.nz________________________Affiliate Links!I may receive a financial benefit if you click on these links.HatchSharesiesEasy...

Lettuce hands need not apply. There's no need to quibble about the exact length of a property cycle. What's relevant, is that the property cycle is slower than other asset classes. This affords the everyday investor an opportunity to jump on board at more optimal times than others. Should you factor this into your decisions when buying or selling property?Read more.Today I’m talking with Kieran Trass who is the author, and perfecter, of what could arguably be called the property owners bible. His book, 'Grow Richer with the Property Cycle,' concentrates his expertise into a guide that every first home buyer, investor, or upgrader should reference regularly.

Paradoxically, the pursuit of pleasure or chasing comfort can itself can provide a type of meaning, though deep down, we know we're not meant for perpetual ease. Investing, even when not strictly necessary, can be about creating a meaningful struggle, and finding purpose by placing your resource at risk. On the other hand, too much action without a chance of ever ‘arriving’ is equally dangerous.

The recent drop in the official cash rate (OCR) by 0.25% has sparked a flurry of speculation about the future of the property market. Those hanging on for dear life are desperate for good news and recency bias is at work here - many believe lower interest rates signal a return to the boom times. However high on hopium property hodlers are, reality is a bit more nuanced.

As usual, there are only two types of people in the world.1 – Those who blindly trust governments and most centralised systems: They find it easy to overlook the flaws in currency manipulated by interest rates and new supply injections from a centralised authorities, like government and central banks.2 – The ‘weirdos’ who ‘think differently’: They understand the importance of money created by the people, for the people.

The New Zealand government invests through the NZ Super Fund to ensure it can maintain Superannuation payments over the long term. By using a growth style fund consisting of 80% growth assets, and 20% income assets, they aim to grow a pot of money as large as they can to assist with the governments future obligations. Despite debates about eligibility age of government super, income-testing, contribution pauses, and investment strategies, the NZ Super Fund has been performing well since inception, and so I wanted to learn more. I also wanted to know if they would be the first sovereign wealth fund to acquire Bitcoin.
