Average Net Worth By Age (NZ) – Are You Behind

About this episode

Am I behind? It's the question everyone wonders, and almost nobody can answer.

So, we paid Stats NZ to crunch the net-worth-by-age data that no one else publishes.

In this episode, Ed and Andrew reveal the median wealth at every age and what the numbers really mean.

You'll learn:

What the typical Kiwi is worth in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond
Why whatever you build by 60 is roughly what you retire on
How a single good asset can move you two decades up the table

The honest takeaway? You're probably less behind than you think, but the early decades matter most.

Ok, now for the legal bit:

The Property Academy Podcast is for your general information. It’s not financial advice.

So the hosts aren’t telling you what to do with your own money. We’ve made every effort to make sure the information is accurate. But we occasionally get the odd fact wrong.

Make sure you do your own research or talk to a financial adviser before making any investment decisions.
