2026 election year and we are months away from a potential change in government!
With proposed new policies being announced already and many likely to change, what do Kiwis need to have their head around today to make more informed decisions around building wealth in New Zealand for tomorrow?
Joining Tim on the show this week is ACT MP, Laura McClure. Laura has successfully built a business in New Zealand before finding her way to politics. In this episode of The Dollars and Sense Podcast, Laura lends her opinion on some of the most critical issues New Zealanders face today and what the next generation need to be thinking about for their futures.
Whether you're left, right or stuck in the middle, the challenges are real and whilst solutions can differ from party to party, this week's episode is about bringing the issues to light.

Our newest newsletter is live on the website: Protecting What Matters - A Risk Protection Guide for Growing Families.
When someone depends on your income, a plan for the "what ifs" stops being optional.
Our new guide for growing families covers the essentials - life, income protection, trauma and health cover, wills, EPAs, and trusts - and how they work together as one plan rather than a shopping list.

Financial knowledge is one of the most valuable investments you can make.
Understanding how money works, how to save, invest, and plan for the future gives you the confidence to make informed financial decisions. While every person's journey is different, having the right knowledge can make all the difference.
At FoxPlan, we believe financial advice isn't about telling people what to do with their money it's about empowering them with the information and guidance to make decisions that align with their goals.
We're looking forward to listening to the latest Dollars & Sense Podcast episode and hearing the conversation around financial education, investing, and building long-term wealth.
What are your thoughts? Do you think financial education should play a bigger role in New Zealand? We'd love to hear your perspective.
