    Should I repay debt or invest more?
    Should I sell my property?
    Should I buy a property?
    Should I increase my KiwiSaver contribution?
    Should I change my KiwiSaver fund?
    Am i doing all the right things?


    In this episode, you will hear about,

    What else needs to be consideredWhy that might be importantSome alternative solutions that need to be ruled out
