When a six figure salary isn't enough: Why more Kiwis are struggling financially

The pressure of the cost-of-living crunch has been felt by most of us for a few years now.

Many of us hope that the more we earn, the less we have to worry about bills, unexpected costs and living week to week.

This week though, Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau revealed she’s had to sell her car - in order to help pay her bills.

So if a mayor on a salary of just under $190,000 a year is finding it tough – can you really earn enough to avoid financial pressure?

Today on The Front Page, we’re joined by Katie Wesney, head strategic coach at EnableMe, to discuss how to survive the cost of living and why those on high salaries are struggling as well.
