  • We don’t know what we don’t know

    Some of us haven’t had the privilege of having been brought up with financially astute parents. I remember, as a student, being told by a bank teller that I had a lot of cash in my cheque account, and it would pay me to shift it to earn more interest. I had no idea of how banking worked, other than the motto “save some, spend some”. Mary’s words of wisdom are invaluable for people like me, trying to navigate the foreign seas of investments and interest rates.

  • Love Mary Holm

    When I was 19 and living in NZ I was a bit lacking in hope for my future and any idea how to change that. Thankfully I came across Mary Holms NZ herald column (back when it was free haha) and 14 years later I am in such a good place financially. Not rich but secure.

    Anyway thanks Mary!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mary Holm on how to get rich quick!
Q: How do I get rich quick?
Holm lists starting a business, investing heavily in a few promising shares, trading, and borrowing to invest, while explaining that these approaches carry substantial risk and often do not work. She advises that steady investment contributions have no dependable quick substitute.
Mary Holm on health insurance
Q: Where should we begin with this?
Start by recognizing that private insurance has benefits like reduced wait times and better accommodation, but it comes with rising premiums and uncertain long-term value; balance that against the likelihood of needing costly treatments and your capacity to self-insure.
Mary Holm on health insurance
Q: Do you have health insurance? And if you don't, are you considering it? What should you be thinking about and how should you be thinking about it?
Mary suggests weighing the public system against private cover, considering costs, potential for faster access to care, and the psychological relief of not facing a large bill if a serious illness arises. She also notes that self-insuring is an option for some, but it carries real risk if a major expense occurs.
Mary Holm: Can you pick the few great shares?
Q: Now, you're slightly mis-selling this, because you labeled this segment as 'can you pick the few great shares'—is that really possible?
The host explains that after looking at 100 years of American stock market data, it's clear that a large share of stocks underperform or match risk-free returns, making it almost impossible to consistently pick a few winners; the recommended approach is broad diversification through index funds or ETFs.
Money matters in times of war
Q: The war in Iran is causing global market uncertainty. Mary, what might that mean for everyday investors?
In times of geopolitical tension, it's prudent to avoid trying to pick winners in specific countries. A broad, global approach helps you across different economies that may be affected in various ways. The key is diversification within a global fund, not trying to time particular markets. If volatility grows, you can gradually adjust your risk level rather than making abrupt, all-at-once moves.
