While sometimes it might feel difficult to achieve our aspirations, it’s important that we don’t let the natural ups and downs in life throw us. Hold tight.
Our ancestors arrived in Aotearoa after a long tough journey. But they held tight.
Upon arrival they were able to climb up maunga, look down upon the whenua and imagine their whānau thriving, living in harmony with te taiao, collectively drawing upon each other’s talents to look after everyone. This was the treasure they journeyed for, and now we are carrying on their legacy.
Getting sorted with pūtea is one of the tools we now have in our hands. The more we learn how to make moni work for us, the more we can do to help our people thrive. Getting smart with pūtea means we know how to do things like growing it, by setting some aside for the future and make wise decisions like buying a whare for us and our whānau – which can increase in value over time.
It means learning about innovation in harmony with the taiao, providing delicious and nutritious kai, getting great educations. All this so together we can manaaki each other and continue to stand on top of maunga throughout Aotearoa.
Learning to get sorted with pūtea can sometimes feel like a drag, with words like ‘budgeting’ and ‘saving’ seeming like they’re taking away your freedom or some of the fun. Yet what we generally find is as we start to get sorted moneywise, we often feel less māharahara , and this in turn frees us to dream big and think about future aspirations for our whānau, hapū and iwi.
If you’d like to get smarter with pūtea, and learn how to make it grow, we’ve got some great guides that can teach you more about all the ins and outs, from how to save, to how to make wise investment decisions like starting KiwiSaver or saving for a whare.
