Looking for a way to spend your Christmas break?
Those six days between Christmas and New Years can feel like you’re in a state of limbo. The days feel as though they all flow into one and before you know it, 2023 has arrived. If you’re looking for some fun things to get up to – or some creative ways to spice up your summer break – fear not! We have some wonderful ideas for you.
This year we have had the pleasure of working alongside some wonderful people and businesses to provide Dream Days to some extremely deserving Kiwi kids. Lifetime is proud to be the principal sponsors of Dream Days – a charitable trust dedicated to giving children aged between 5-21 that are affected by disability or illness a Dream Day with their friends and family. This is a nation-wide effort and relies heavily on the community involvement we receive to put on such special days for each child.

Unlocking Financial Harmony: Navigating the Symphony of Life with Mindfulness
In the hustle and bustle of daily life, the concept of mindfulness often finds its place in discussions about mental health and stress reduction. However, its impact on financial wellbeing is a hidden gem worth exploring.
A 2021 survey by the New Zealand Retirement Commission ranked New Zealand’s overall financial wellbeing as 61 out of 100. In this case, financial wellbeing is defined as “a combination of meeting commitments, being financially comfortable, and resilient for the future.” The area in which New Zealand scored the lowest was preparedness for retirement, with a 43 out of 100 which highlights that around one in three New Zealanders are concerned that they will not have adequate savings to last through their retirement.
Finding Your Financial Ikigai: The Japanese Art of a Balanced & Purposeful Life
In a world that often measures success in financial terms, the Japanese concept of Ikigai offers a refreshing perspective. Transcending the boundaries of culture and geography, this philosophy loosely translates as "a reason for being". Ikigai is a convergence of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. It's an approach that represents a broader view of prosperity, encompassing joy, purpose, and contentment. As financial advisers, we find this particularly compelling. This article delves deeper into how Ikigai can not only enrich your life but also inform your financial decisions for a more fulfilling journey.
