Yep more compulsory fees so the government can raid it again later. Good one National 👍
Actually, compulsory KiwiSaver has significant long-term benefits. Studies show that default enrollment dramatically increases retirement savings. The average New Zealander simply cannot be trusted to save voluntarily.
yeah nah get stuffed, we all know they'll just change the rules again when they want a handout
great just what we need more money taken out of my pay before I even see it 🙄
I don't mind the idea but 3% is already low, if they make it compulsory they'll probably hike it to 6% or something
as a student this would be rough, I need every dollar for rent and food rn, no spare cash to lock away for 40 years

for real, my pay packet is already a joke after tax and student loan
honestly I wish someone had forced me to save earlier, I'm 45 and my KiwiSaver is pitiful. Maybe it's not so bad for the young ones?
exactly same boat here mate, might be good for the people with spare cash but not us
Just another way to prop up the housing market and line the pockets of fund managers. Cool, cool.
This. The same people who sold us on KiwiSaver being the answer to everything now want to force it. What a load of shit.
didn't think of that, you're right. feels like a backdoor tax
