Young, old or in between, you need to know about NZ Super!

Most of us probably think we have a pretty good understanding of the pension.
You turn 65, you get it. Right?
Well, it turns out that there lots of little details that can catch you out.
We’ve had a lot of questions about the pension (or NZ Super), so we’re on a bit of a deep dive into the most common ones.
And don’t worry – this isn’t all questions for the over 65s, so stick with us if you’re not in that age bracket.

In this episode, Susan answers questions about:

• If I live overseas, can I still claim a New Zealand pension?
• Why does the first person in a couple turning 65 gets the sharing rate, not the full single payment?
• Will the pension still be around when the next generation retire?
• When I turn 65, do I have to let someone know to get the pension?
• Which city in New Zealand has the most money left over after paying their mortgage, power, rates, insurance and food bills?
