A common reason drivers speed is the misperception it will substantially reduce the amount of time it takes to arrive at their destination. But this isn’t the case.

But this isn’t the case. For example, a driver who needs to get to a destination 40 km away and the speed limit is 70 km/h, then the journey will take 34 minutes. If the driver speeds and drives 80 km/h, then they will get to their destination in 30 minutes. But by saving four minutes of their time, drivers speeding at 80 km/h increase their crash risk by at least 60%. Is that worth it?

Is it time to change the approach to speed education by using game theory?

Whether driven by cultural values, financial considerations, or the desire for closer family connections, this way of living is becoming increasingly popular.

Recently, adviceHQ was featured in a Trade Me article by Gill South highlighting the financial and practical benefits of multigenerational living. As more families face the rising cost of living, pooling resources can provide access to larger, more desirable homes while ensuring security for each generation.

adviceHQ specialise in helping families navigate the complexities of financing such arrangements, ensuring that both long-term goals and immediate needs are met.

If your family is considering multigenerational living, reach out to see how we can help you structure your finances and plan for the future.
