Why You Don’t Need Millions to Retire with Mary Holm
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Lead On Purpose, I sit down with Mary Holm, author of Rich Enough, to unpack how everyday Kiwis can build wealth simply, avoid common money traps, and focus on what actually leads to a rich life.
What we cover:
- Why “rich enough” beats chasing more, and what money can and cannot do for happiness
- The two KiwiSaver choices that matter most: risk level first, low fees second
- Why low fee index investing and patience usually outperform chasing returns
- How to balance KiwiSaver with investing outside it to get bonuses without locking all your money away
- Renting vs owning, property myths, and the most common financial mistakes Kiwis make
If you want a calmer, clearer approach to money that supports both your future and your life right now, this conversation will give you a simple framework to work from.
