Uh, because as far as just talking about what the budget's about and what we can anticipate and the challenges New Zealand has, has got, I think that, uh, I couldn't imagine anyone enunciating it in a clear, understandable way for the average sort of...
I was gonna say the average plonker, and I, that, I mean that jokingly in terms of a reference to myself.
But the average person just to understand what the budget's all about and what we can look forward to and the challenges we've got.
But one of the issues that, um, Cameron Bagrie did touch on when we were chatting a- about it was, uh, you know, on the retirement age.
And, and look, we're not gonna get into it from the angle that he talked about that was, uh... 'Cause I asked him a question and said, "Look, if, uh, Nicola Willis didn't care about getting reelected, what should he do?" And he said, "Well, you know, he needs to address the age of retirement." So we're not gonna talk about the policies that governments should enact, but, uh, we wanna have your calls on 0800 80 10 80, and text 9292, on retirement, and in fact, when you're gonna retire.
Do people, most people dream of retirement? Or do they dream of th- uh, thinking, "When I do eventually retire, um, it's gonna be a time when I no longer need to work or study, and I can enjoy a slow and simple life"? Is it? That's an interesting take on it, actually.
But what does it actually take to retire? How much money do we realistically need to survive retirement, let alone thrive in it? And I could, I could account for half your pension simply if you're continuing to pay for health insurance.
Um, so the simple question is, you know, 'cause there's the question about super maybe being under threat one day, um, when are you retiring? What are your plans? And is it because of the money, or is it because, you know what, I like doing what I do, and I'm just gonna keep active until I can't be active any longer? And will your KiwiSaver, will your pension, your savings, whatever scheme you've got, will it be enough? Um, and would it be enough if the pension went away? We wanna know your thoughts on 0800 80 10 80, text 9292.
And joining us to discuss this, well, it's probably one of the bigger issues regarding money that every New Zealander's gonna face eventually, isn't it? Uh, anyway, it, it is, um, Amanda Morrall.
