How Much You ACTUALLY Need To Retire In 2026?
Feeling like you have enough and actually having enough are two different things.
Nobody sends you the letter saying you can stop.
In this episode of the Property Academy podcast, Ed and Andrew run the retirement numbers on a real NZ couple, two rentals, mortgage-free home, $120,000 KiwiSaver - and find something most NZ retirement planning tools never show you:
● Why Dean and Sharon could retire two years earlier than planned and still be comfortable
● Why they could spend $15,000 more per year than they planned — and still not run out
● How the go-go, slow-go, no-go spending phases change everything about how much you actually need in NZ retirement
● Why their plan produces an over-save of $524,026, half a million dollars they'll never spend
● And the real cost of defaulting to 65: eight extra years of work and a pile of money they never touch
