Episode Details

The war in Iran is already moving mortgage rates, and it's not done yet.

Interest rates are moving, and this will change everything with your money. Beyond the mortgage, it’s also your savings, your investments, and even your job.

So what's actually happening, and what should you do about it?

Frances Cook is joined by Massey University’s Christoph Schumacher and EnableMe financial coach Katie Wesney to break down the chain reaction from a conflict on the other side of the world, straight to your bank balance.

We're covering:

– How a war in the Middle East ends up pushing up your interest rate

– What the Reserve Bank is likely to do next, and when

– The key decisions to help you be smarter with your money, and especially your mortgage

– How to build genuine financial resilience when the future is uncertain

You can’t control the war. But you can control how you prepare.
