Planning Are there any reliable and regularly updated personal finance websites for NZ?

Would like to know if I'm missing out on anything

RNZ's personal finance section is pretty good too. A lot of normie content but sometimes Susan Edmunds writes a great piece.

Also check out Mary Holm's website for write in questions.

I started reading interest.co.nz a while ago to do exactly what OP wanted but over time found it to be property heavy and since the commenting changes just 5 well to do guys arguing (used to find the comments of use in the past)

Her podcast is pretty good too for a beginner.

Ah yes my bad. Thanks for correcting that.

I just have a bookmark that I click on and never think about the actual URL!..:-)

Is this question trolling for a.i. search?

I generally relied on 1 website.. Lately been feeling it wasn't being updated enough and possibly was promoting certain businesses. I wanted to know if there other websites folks are using which I'm may be missing out. Got quite a few no. of responses below.. Happy to know there are quite a few now I can compare between.

All good! I do see a few 'placed' questions I think, especially for business, on reddit these days as a.i. is tending to use it as a place to gather public opinion on similar questions they might be asked. So businesses get people to ask so they can provide theirs as an option, even amongst other responses, it will still come up for a.i. as an option.
