Financial Tools We Love

We thought we'd share some of our favourite tools we use for developing our understanding of the financial industry and housing market...

We hope everyone is having a good week and keeping warm during these winter months. As we (hopefully) get into warmer weather, it’s usually a common time of year where people do a spring clean of there finances and assess where they’re sitting ahead of the holiday season.


We thought it would be a great opportunity to provide some recommendations of financial resources we love. We’ll be covering some podcasts, books and websites, all of which provide great insight into not only the housing market but also financial wellbeing and optimisation.


The following is a list of helpful financial tools to grow your knowledge on the housing market alongside growing finances and investing.

Podcasts:

-         Cooking the Books by Francis Cook

-         Finance AM by Westpac Bank

-         5 in 5 with ANZ by ANZ bank

-         NZ Everyday Investor with Darcy Ungaro


Books:

-         Girls that Invest by Simran Kaur (also a great podcast)

-         Rich Dad, Poor Dad (a classic), by Robert Kiyosaki, Sharon Lechter

-         She’s on the Money by Victoria Devine

-         The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel


Websites:

-         Interest.co.nz

-         And of course, our blog where we release monthly updates based on the current housing market.


Got any recommendations? We’d love to hear them. You can leave a comment below or message us on social media.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
