  How Couples Should Manage Money in NZ — Three Models, One Honest Conversation

  Sep 15, 202624 min

  Money is one of the leading causes of relationship tension in New Zealand. Not because couples don't love each other, but because most of us were never taught how to talk about it. This episode gives you a framework, the legal reality, and permission to do it your way. In this episode: The three models NZ couples use to manage money: fully combined, hybrid, and fully separate - when each one works, when it doesn't, and the legal landscape sitting underneath all three Why the fully combined model creates resentment when money personalities don't align, and what to do instead The hybrid model in practice: how to set joint contributions fairly when one partner earns significantly more The fully separate model: why it works for some couples, why a relationship property agreement is non-negotiable if you use it, and why it's not a statement about commitment The income disparity conversation most couples avoid -and why non-financial contributions like caregiving and project management have real dollar value that needs to be in the model The five money questions every couple should answer before choosing a financial model - ideally before the mortgage, the wedding, or the baby The right model isn't the conventional one. It's the one both people have honestly agreed to and genuinely understand. Women should own half the world. Come own it with us.

  What Happens When Your NZ Investment Property Tenant Leaves?

  Sep 8, 202622 min

  That message from your property manager "your tenant has given notice" doesn't have to spike your anxiety. This week Nefe goes straight to the expert: Tiffany Bracey from Opes Property Management, with everything that actually happens from notice to new tenant. In this episode: The full tenant exit process in NZ: from the 21-day notice period to keys handed back...every stage, every timeline, every cost The rent review decision: why holding out for a higher rent almost always costs more than a small reduction would, and the one number every landlord needs to know How good NZ property managers market a vacant rental: photography, digital staging (~$200 vs $5,000 - $10,000 for physical), viewings with 48 hours notice, and why advertising starts before the tenant leaves What happens to power between tenancies, and why keeping the heat pump running costs less than $100 but makes a significant difference to how fast the property rents How vacancy actually works in NZ: best case one to two weeks, worst case a few weeks, and why planning for it removes the panic entirely Vacancy isn't a disaster to avoid. It's a cost you plan for. Here's exactly how. Women should own half the world. Come own it with us.

  Episode #25

  Should The Election Change Your Investment Plan?

  Sep 1, 202632 min

  Capital gains tax. Land value tax. Interest deductibility. Wealth taxes. The 2026 election is loud. This episode cuts through it — six parties, five investor categories, one practical framework for deciding whether any of it should change what you're doing with your money. In this episode: The at-a-glance investor scorecard: National, ACT, NZ First, Labour, the Greens, and the Opportunity Party rated across wealth building, property investment, high income, business, and tax position National and ACT: what continuity of current settings actually means for property investors, and why interest deductibility and the 2-year brightline test matter NZ First: the compulsory KiwiSaver from birth proposal — and why the minor dwelling policy is a direct win for existing property owners Labour's capital gains tax on NZ investment property from 1 July 2026: what it covers, what's exempt, and why existing gains aren't touched The Greens' wealth tax, capital acquisition tax, and reversal of interest deductibility — who it actually affects and who it doesn't The Opportunity Party's land value tax: why an annual tax on land value is fundamentally different from CGT — and what a projected 10–15% drop in property prices means for your portfolio The election cycle data: why there are 10% fewer buyers in the NZ market in the 6 months before an election — and 10% more in the 6 months after Policies are promises, not certainties. Coalition governments negotiate. Make decisions on today's rules — not tomorrow's what-ifs. Women should own half the world. Come own it with us.

  Reverse Mortgages NZ Explained — What They Are, How the Maths Works, and Why We Almost Never Recommend One

  Aug 25, 202621 min

  Reverse mortgage enquiries in NZ are rising, because a generation of homeowners paid off their mortgage, arrived at retirement, and found almost nothing else waiting for them. This episode explains what a reverse mortgage is, what it actually costs over time, and why the best plan is never needing one. In this episode: What a reverse mortgage in NZ actually is: how to borrow against your home equity without making repayments — and what happens to the debt while you wait How much you can borrow by age: the limits from 60 to 90, and the minimum property values that apply What $100,000 borrowed at 8% compounding interest looks like after 15 years — and why the same force that builds wealth when you invest it destroys equity when you don't repay Barbara and Rod: a worked example showing what a reverse mortgage actually leaves behind after 15 years, a property sale, and a move to a retirement village The alternatives to consider before ever signing: renting a room, downsizing, family arrangements, and why independent legal advice is non-negotiable The same compound interest that builds your wealth when you invest it depletes your equity when it's compounding on a loan you're not paying down. Here's what that looks like in real numbers. Women should own half the world. Come own it with us.

  Don't Bank on It: Why an Inheritance Isn't a Wealth Plan⎟Ep. 23

  Aug 18, 202624 min

  Inheritances feel like a plan. They feel certain when nothing else does. And that feeling is exactly why they're so dangerous to rely on. This episode is the honest conversation that most financial advisers don't have — and most families definitely don't. In this episode of She Owns This: The five variables that make inheritances unreliable: the amount, the timing, who it goes to, legal challenges, and how grandchildren change the picture The NZ timing problem: if your parents are 25–30 years older than you and live into their late 80s, you may not receive anything until you're 60 — too late to change what compounding could have done What the Family Protection Act 1955 actually says about wills, children's rights, and what can and can't be challenged in NZ The Margaret Ducas case: the $4 million left to the SPCA — and what happened when her children decided that wasn't acceptable Why quietly expecting an inheritance changes how you feel about your parents' spending — and what that does to relationships over time An inheritance should be a pleasant surprise. Not a load-bearing wall. Women should own half the world. Come own it with us.
