Money Myths to Leave Behind in 2024

Financial myths are everywhere and believing them can hurt your wallet. Let’s bust some common myths and set the record straight for a smarter financial future.

  1. Myth: KiwiSaver Is Only for Retirement

    • Reality: KiwiSaver can also assist with buying your first home.

  2. Myth: Health Insurance Is Only for the Elderly

    • Reality: Health issues can arise at any age; early coverage means you are covered for any conditions that develop. If you wait to take health insurance until you are older, there is a higher chance of pre-existing medical conditions.

  3. Myth: The Cheapest Policy Is Always Best

    • Reality: Cheap policies often have limited coverage and higher excesses. It is wise to seek advice.

  4. Myth: You Don’t Need Life Insurance If You’re Single

    • Reality: Life insurance can cover debts and funeral costs, relieving family members.

Don’t let myths guide your decisions. A clear understanding and professional advice can lead to better financial choices.
