People in lower income jobs to be most affected if retirement age goes up – Chris Hipkins

Matt from Henderson

My view is retirement if going to keep going up every year or every so often, what is people our age from 30 upwards going to have when we get to that age? Has any actually thought about that? I am not being mean to anyone in respect with the retirement age going up or down, but am just concerned if like my generation now, I'm in my mid 30's still young and active, what will happen if retirement age does keep going up and up? What the next generation look forward to when we get to that age? You need to think of not just older people (no respect) but what will your children or grandchildren in their 30's onwards have for an retirement? Can you see it on a bigger scale to speak? Here's the youtube clip about the retirement age with John Campbell.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
