3x Money Moves to Make When Everything Feels Uncertain
When the economy feels unpredictable, it can be hard to feel like you’ve got any control.
But there are some things you can do to keep your finances on track.
1. Check your KiwiSaver is in the right fund that fits your goals
If you're 10+ years away from accessing your KiwiSaver savings, you could consider a Growth fund, but if you're 5 years out from buying a house, Conservative or Balanced funds make more sense. Talk to your KiwiSaver Scheme provider if unsure.
2. Set up automatic savings – even if it's small
Having money you don't touch builds resilience. Start with $10-$20 a week into a separate account (Booster Savvy is a great way of building up different ‘stacks’ of money).
3. Create a weekly "money window" to review your money flow
Set aside 20 minutes every week so you know what came in, what went out and what's coming up. Check out Booster’s mybudgetpal app or a Booster Savvy account to help you manage your money.
You can't control oil prices or interest rates. But you can control how prepared you are, how visible your money is, and how aligned your actions are with your goals.
Start with one. Build from there.
