INSURANCE

Jill Smith from Citizens Advice Bureau Far North (CAB)

This month's feature is about INSURANCE.

According to a Financial Services Council 2022 survey, around 70% of New Zealanders were underinsured. And more recently it has been reported that far too many New Zealanders are cancelling their cover altogether, putting themselves and their dependents at risk.

We hope the links provided in this post help you decide what kind of insurance policy is relevant to your situation.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
