Welcome to Day 5 of the 7 Day Money Reset. Today we are building stability. A safety net is not about being rich. It is about having margin. It is about not panicking when a bill comes in. Not relying on debt every time something unexpected happens. Not living in constant financial survival mode. In this episode we talk about what a safety net really is and why it changes everything. We cover: • Why a safety net is peace, not just savings • How stability improves your decision making • Why survival mode keeps you stuck • How to build your safety net in layers so it feels achievable • Starting small without shame • Using automatic payments to build consistency • Why freedom requires margin If you are living paycheck to paycheck, your first safety net might be small. That still counts. Five hundred dollars can change your nervous system. One month of expenses can change your confidence. Three months can change your life. A safety net allows you to leave unhealthy environments. To take opportunities. To say no when you need to. It gives you options. Your action for today: Open a separate account for your safety net. Set up an automatic payment, even if it is small. Protect your future self. We are not just growing money. We are building security. If you are doing the challenge, share this episode and write “Stability first.” That is how wealth is built. JOIN MY NEWSLETTER

Welcome to How We Money, a six-part series by Māori Millionaire and ANZ designed to help everyday people feel more confident with money. In Episode 4, Te Kahukura sits down with Tegan Yorwrarth, Mai FM radio host known for keeping it real and bringing the humour, to talk about the big one - buying your first home. Because let’s be honest, this process can feel confusing, serious, and lowkey overwhelming, so we wanted to have this kōrero in a way that feels normal. Together, we break down whether owning a home is even realistic right now, why KiwiSaver plays such a big role in deposits, what banks are looking for, and what might be quietly holding people back. We also talk about how people are saving in today’s cost of living, different pathways like buying with others, the extra costs people don’t always see coming, and what happens to your KiwiSaver savings after you buy. This is a practical, honest conversation that doesn’t feel like a finance lecture - just real kōrero to help you understand your next step. Your actionable step today: map out your next home-buying milestone - maybe it’s checking your deposit savings, reviewing your budget, or learning about first-home schemes. Progress is progress, no matter the size. ANZ has some great tools to calculate how much you could borrow and the repayments for a first home - you can even book in to speak to one of their Home Loan Coaches to make a plan - it’s commitment free and you don’t have to be an ANZ customer.
