<p>Most of us probably think we have a pretty good understanding of the pension.
You turn 65, you get it. Right?
Well, it turns out that there lots of little details that can catch you out.
We’ve had a lot of questions about the pension (or NZ Super), so we’re on a bit of a deep dive into the most common ones.
And don’t worry – this isn’t all questions for the over 65s, so stick with us if you’re not in that age bracket. </p><p>In this episode, Susan answers questions about:</p><ul><li>If I live overseas, can I still claim a New Zealand pension?</li><li>Why does the first person in a couple turning 65 gets the sharing rate, not the full single payment?</li><li>Will the pension still be around when the next generation retire?</li><li>When I turn 65, do I have to let someone know to get the pension?</li><li>Which city in New Zealand has the most money left over after paying their mortgage, power, rates, insurance and food bills?</li></ul><p><em>If you have a money question you'd like Susan to answer, put it in an email or voice memo, then send it to <a href="mailto:
