What Over-65 Kiwis Spend Their Money On (and it's WILD)⎥Ep. 2225

Episode 2225 Published 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Description

We talk a lot about how much you need in retirement. But here’s the real question: what do retirees actually spend their money on once they stop working?

In this episode, Ed and Andrew examine fresh Stats NZ data comparing the bottom 10% of over-65 spenders with the top 10%. The results are shocking.

You’ll learn:

  • How some retirees survive on just $344 a week – and what that lifestyle really looks like
  • Why the top 10% spend 6.7x more, splashing out on travel, recreation, and health
  • What happens in the “middle” – and how spending priorities shift as income changes

This episode reveals the hidden reality of retirement spending in NZ, from bare-bones survival to living it up with overseas holidays.
