This is the final episdode of The Kiwi House Deposit Podcast. I talk about the following:
Zaira tells us how she and her other half saved up for their first home in Whangarei. We explored the following: Careful spending habbits to save the bulk of a deposit. Minimalism: A great lifestyle for the studious saver. House hunting and putting in an offer. Zaira puts her foot down and gets things done. See what you can learn from her!
Mya and Shay from Whangarei share how they purchased their first home in 2025. They are two motivated Kiwis who teamed up young and worked hard to make home ownership possible. They purshased a home for less then 500k at the age of 23 and 21 respectively. They shared: How they met, great yarn. How they got into stable careers with no student debt. How they automated their savings to do the heavy lifting. House hunting and putting in an offer on a house. It is really refreshing to hear that young couples are buying homes in the current environment. May this episode inspire Kiwis to take advantage of the opportunities in the current housing market!

They shared the folowing: How easy was the financial life of a boomer? Getting into careers and moving arounnd the country for work. Saving up a house deposit using shares, government superannuation fund and cash. Investing in KiwiFruit and Forrestry, and more, to reach early retirement. My parents taught me a lot about financial literacy at a young age. Their knowledge formed the foundation of my financial habits. Now you can hear their story!
