It can happen. And does. Your dad dies. Your stepmother sells their home and then leaves all the money to her kids. You get nothing. This doesn't seem right. Is there anything you can do? We investigate your options on this as well asking whether it is worth having a savings account anymore, what the unemployment rate tells us and what it doesn't, and are KiwiSaver providers making their returns sound better than they are?
In this episode, Susan answers questions about:
- What doers the unemployment rate actually tell us? And what is it leaving out?
- Can a stepparent cut their partner's kids out of the will?
- Are KiwiSaver providers making their returns sound better than they are?
- With interest rates so low, is it worth having a savings account anymore?
- How are the new rules around tenants and their pets working out?
- And what is the most expensive pet procedure insurance will pay for?
