How to financially manage a career change

Each week the NZ Herald's Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it's how to get yourself on firm footing so you can handle a career change. Hosted by Frances Cook.<br /><br />The world tipped upside down recently, which means many of us are considering changes.<br /><br />Not all of this is voluntary of course – many people have lost their jobs, and now are having to scramble for something else to pay the bills. <br /><br />But there are also those who’ve taken this time to reassess, to remember that life is short, and now want to change to something different. <br /><br />Whether you’re choosing career change, or you’ve had it thrust upon you, you still need a stable base to make these changes from. <br /><br />The best thing you can do to increase your chances of success is give yourself as much financial security as you can, to steady you through this time. <br /><br />On the latest Cooking the Books podcast I talked to financial planner Liz Koh. <br /><br />If you have a question about this podcast, or question you'd like answered in the next one, come and talk to me about it.
