Each week BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald’s Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it’s how a couple retired early for more family time. Hosted by Frances Cook.

Retiring early while your kids are still young enough to actually want to hang out with you? A dream, surely. 
Well this couple managed it, through a combination of property investing, and very frugal living, hitting their goal number in their early 30s. 
They don’t feel as though they missed out on life though, far from it – so here’s what they decided to keep and cut, as they raced to early retirement.

Each week BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald’s Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it’s why investors are turning away from meme stocks, to more traditional investing methods. Hosted by Frances Cook.

It’s been a wild few years on the share market. When interest rates were so low, other types of investments didn’t seem too interesting, so investors flooded to shares.
That led to a sugar rush on the market, sky rocketing values, and trends like meme stocks taking over social media. 
Well as anyone can tell you after a binge on junk food, sometimes you’re left craving a salad, and it seems that’s what investors are feeling now. 
The more boring side of investing is making a comeback, along with other types of investments like bonds, and even savings accounts. 
So here’s what to know as we head into another fun year of making the most of our money.
