Downsizing Your Home: Smart Retirement Plan or Risky Bet?⎥Ep. 2252
Many Kiwis plan to sell the family home and buy something smaller to fund retirement. But does downsizing still work in 2025, or is it another myth about ageing gracefully?
In this episode, Ed and Andrew explore when downsizing pays off and when it leaves you short.
You’ll learn:
- 3 reasons downsizing fails and 4 times it actually works
- How timing (before 72) can make or break your plan
- Why some retirees walk away with less than $200k after selling
Whether you’re dreaming of a smaller home or wondering if you’ve left it too late, this episode shows what it really takes to retire comfortably in New Zealand.
