I lived on NZ Super for a week. Here's what happened⎥Ep. 2077
In this episode, we discuss what happened when we challenged ourselves to live off the New Zealand Superannuation for a full week — and spoiler: it was harder than we thought.
You’ll learn:
- What it’s really like to stick to $538 a week (and how fast it disappears)
- The hidden costs and unexpected bills that trip up even the best budgets
- And why retiring on NZ Super alone might not be as easy as it sounds
Thinking ahead to your own retirement? Check out our guide on how much is NZ Super per fortnight — and what else you’ll need to truly live well in your later years.
