Bonus Episode: Money Moments with Armin Svoboda - Money Management, Investing in Shares, Cryptocurrency and Property & Money in a Relationship

Hello and Happy Friyay! Here’s to a beautiful weekend full of lots of podcast listening. To kick the weekend off, we’re back with another Money Moments bonus episode; where we chat to real Kiwis about their experiences with money. Today we're joined by Armin Svoboda, Head of Digital at Kernel, and previous semi-professional rower. From a young age, Armin has had a keen interest in business and finance, which was is what led him to start investing in the share markets, start a side hustle and dabble in crypto. In this episode, Armin shares: How his father’s continuous prompting to read the business section of the news sparked his interest in finance and business Why it’s so important to find a money partner in life What it’s like to combine finances in a relationship, especially when you’re bringing debt to the table How, as athletes, Armin and his fiancé managed to live off $20k per year How they manage their money using the Barefoot Investor’s bucket system Why he chooses to invest in crypto with his “play money” The realities of owning a home in this current housing market, and why upsizing has led him to reflect on his initial property purchase …and lots more good stuff. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did! It’s a goodie.
