Today (Wednesday) we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with Cat Rikihana who is a financial mentor, educator and financial capability practitioner at Financial Freedom Trust in the Manawatū.

Cat Rikihana (Ngai Tahu) like many financial mentors around Aotearoa, works with individuals, groups and whānau to successfully navigate financial stress and hardship. Mentors work alongside whānau to increase confidence and skills in personal money management and advocate with and for clients. Cat enjoys delivering online and face-to-face workshops which provide opportunities to normalise money conversations and encourages people to make time to consider their financial well-being.

Cat is also an independent financial well-being coach, educator and indigenous life coach at Restore Wellness Network. She is a published writer and currently in the process of writing her first non-fiction book: 'A financial self-care guide for women in Aotearoa.'

She'd love to answer any questions you may have around your budgeting and spending habits, strategies for saving, retirement planning and debt. (Don't be shy, but be mindful about what you disclose!)

Hi Neighbours,

At Stuff we have a special partnership launching this week with MetlifeCare, where we get to showcase stories about folk living their best lives in retirement.

We think people of all ages will be interested in reading about the choices older people are making, and about special topics such as small space gardening, and the benefits of keeping moving as you age. And anyone who has lived through - or has picked up general knowledge about - the past five, six, seven or more decades in New Zealand, should have a go at our nostalgia quiz. It’s a fun one.
