We live in a near cashless world these days. Hardly anyone has anything further than a couple cards, or even just Apple Pay. 

We all remember a time we'd get a gold coin for washing mum's car, or a couple notes for chopping wood, but those days seem to be gone. 

How are parents going about pocket money without cash? Are we really giving our kids bank cards, and how young is too young? 

And if money's not the right re...

You're ready to sell our getting your final bits in order to get your property on the market. 

You don't have the time nor energy to give the whole house, inside and out, a lick of fresh paint, or redo your landscaping, or renovate your slightly out of date kitchen. 

So what are the areas that are most important to get sorted before listing your property? 

And for the buyers - what are you better off ignoring when it...

The Reserve Bank shocked a lot of us last month when it cut the OCR by 50 basis points down to 2.5%.

Analysts have said that the RBNZ was reading the room and giving kiwis a much needed breather after years of high rates. 

Early signs are showing it's starting to have an effect - with the GDP estimate for the September quarter pointing to 0.6% growth and many banks forecasting an optimistic remainder of the year.

The Government has confirmed they're considering action to move rough sleepers out of Auckland's city centre. 

Mayor Wayne Brown has given his go ahead, but the opposition as well as housing advocates have said a policy like this would just move the problem elsewhere and end up creating more harm. 

No details have been released yet, ministers say they are still working through the issues and how to deal with them, but tha...

The Government has released an action plan to deal with the growing issue of methamphetamine use in New Zealand. 

They're investing $30 million over four years into the hardest hit communities, increasing maritime operations to stop it before it gets into the country, and we'll soon see a nationwide media campaign to raise awareness - among other policies. 

The amount of meth seized both in the country and offshore has in...

There's a lot of uncertainty around the property market at the moment. 

In the past decade alone, we've seen the introduction of the brightline test, the relaxing of the brightline test, countless policies making life harder for investors and landlords, and now the looming question of capital gains tax. 

But how much does the government actually influence whether we buy and sell, and at what price?

Dame Noeline Taurua was stood down as the coach of the Silver Ferns in September due to 'significant issues' in the team. After many public statements and interviews, she was reinstated at the end of last month. 

Netball NZ, her employer, remained just vague enough that the public could allow their imaginations to run wild about what had happened. 

Andrew Bayly, MP for Port Waikato, resigned as a Minister after an 'animat...

The Government has announced 140 new hospital beds across the country to ease pressure on emergency departments. 

These beds will be part of new wards in Middlemore, Waikato, Wellington, and Nelson hospitals, alongside the new Hawke's Bay ward announced earlier in the year. 

Health Minister Simeon Brown says operational funding for the 350 extra staff that will be needed, has already been approved.

Christopher Luxon is wrapping up his trip to APEC and ASEAN today. 

The Prime Minister met with a range of world leaders, even having his hair complimented by Donald Trump, and having dinner with the Canadian and Australian Prime Ministers and the South Korean president. 

APEC and ASEAN represent about 60 to 70% of the world's economy, so even casual meeting would have been significant for Luxon and New Zealand.

We all know the dangers of tech these days, but it's unavoidable. 

Our kids need a laptop for school, an iPad to pass the time, and a phone for parents to reach them on. 

There are positives to technology, we just need to teach our children to take advantage of the good things their devices have to offer.

Labour has introduced their Capital Gains Tax policy after it was leaked to the media last week. 

If implemented, it would mean a 28% tax on any profits made from house sales excluding the family home. 

So what would a tax like this do to the property and rental markets?

Trusts are hardly mentioned outside of when wealth tax is in the news, or when someone mentions their accountant told them to get one.

One side of the political aisle seems to have a good list of reasons as to why someone would need a trust, while the other side seems to be convinced that essentially the only reason anyone would have one would be to hide assets. 

So what is the real purpose of a trust?

Injuries are one of those things that most of us only think about after it's too late. 

There are many obvious and common causes for injuries, and often, all it takes to avoid these injuries is a bit of a stretch or more focus on your core strength.

Last Thursday was the largest protest New Zealand has had for decades, a combined strike across multiple public sector groups including PSA members and PPTA members. 

It certainly sent a message, but that message depends on who you ask. While many sympathise with the issues the public sector is facing, many have also dubbed it 'the start of a five day weekend' for teachers.

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
