Today (Wednesday) we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with Cat Rikihana who is a financial mentor, educator and financial capability practitioner at Financial Freedom Trust in the Manawatū.

Cat Rikihana (Ngai Tahu) like many financial mentors around Aotearoa, works with individuals, groups and whānau to successfully navigate financial stress and hardship. Mentors work alongside whānau to increase confidence and skills in personal money management and advocate with and for clients. Cat enjoys delivering online and face-to-face workshops which provide opportunities to normalise money conversations and encourages people to make time to consider their financial well-being.

Cat is also an independent financial well-being coach, educator and indigenous life coach at Restore Wellness Network. She is a published writer and currently in the process of writing her first non-fiction book: 'A financial self-care guide for women in Aotearoa.'

She'd love to answer any questions you may have around your budgeting and spending habits, strategies for saving, retirement planning and debt. (Don't be shy, but be mindful about what you disclose!)

Hi Neighbours,

At Stuff we have a special partnership launching this week with MetlifeCare, where we get to showcase stories about folk living their best lives in retirement.

We think people of all ages will be interested in reading about the choices older people are making, and about special topics such as small space gardening, and the benefits of keeping moving as you age. And anyone who has lived through - or has picked up general knowledge about - the past five, six, seven or more decades in New Zealand, should have a go at our nostalgia quiz. It’s a fun one.

Today, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting & welcoming Kate Russell, CEO of Supply Nation, Jenny Wardrop, Interim Head of Membership Services at Supply Nation and Beau Hodge of Baidam Pty Ltd to The Pacific Business Hub.

Kate, her team & their delegation of First Nations businesses from Australia are here to attend the Amotai - Supplier Diversity NZ Summit. Supply Nation is the Australian leader in supplier diversity. They bring together the biggest national database of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses with the procurement teams of Australia’s leading organisations to help them engage, create relationships and do more business. They currently work with 5,000 verified indigenous businesses.

We appreciate this opportunity to showcase our work & what we do to support Pacific businesses here in Aotearoa, NZ and sharing our plans for expansion into Australia and the Pacific region with Kate & guests.

This was also an amazing opportunity for some of our HUB Connect Pacific business members to sit & have a talanoa together & do a little bit of networking with our guests. Much gratitude to our members for taking time out of their business schedules to be with us 🙏🏽

We acknowledge Joe Fuavao & Philippa Hawken Senior BDMs from Australia Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) & Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ) for facilitating this meeting. Faafetai mo le avanoa 🙏🏽
