Six questions

Have a think about these questions, which we’ll answer in this series:

Do you know all the passwords to joint accounts and do you know how to access them?

Do you have a separate account that no one else can access?

Have you looked at your KiwiSaver to make sure it’s working for you?

Have you considered investing rather than keeping money in a lowinterest savings account?

If your partner looks after the money, do you ask questions and keep an eye on spending and debt?

Do you get independent advice before signing documents, increasing a loan against a house or asset, or setting up a family trust? Do you stand to benefit?
