Are we afraid to be ambitious? With Luke Kemeys
About this episode
Luke Kemeys discusses the cultural taboos surrounding money in New Zealand and the importance of normalizing wealth conversations.
Why are we more comfortable talking about our voting preferences than our KiwiSaver balances? Luke Kemeys of Keep the Change tells us why money is New Zealand's last taboo — and the opportunity cost of that silence. So why do so many Kiwi avoid even sharing their finances with family? What’s the downside of our cultural love of holding cash? Is a culture of Tall Poppies holding back our economy? Luke shares his own history of credit card debt and the backlash to branding himself as a millionaire, and how normalising wealth conversations could make the whole country better off.
