Financial myths are everywhere and believing them can hurt your wallet. Let’s bust some common myths and set the record straight for a smarter financial future.
Myth: KiwiSaver Is Only for Retirement
Reality: KiwiSaver can also assist with buying your first home.
Myth: Health Insurance Is Only for the Elderly

Reality: Cheap policies often have limited coverage and higher excesses. It is wise to seek advice.
Myth: You Don’t Need Life Insurance If You’re Single
