Hannah McQueen: Age Brightly Founder discusses options for those with fixed incomes struggling with rates increases

from Kerre Woodham Mornings Podcast · host Newstalk ZB

Fear the cost of living crisis may be getting worse for Aucklanders following the super city's largest ever rates increase.   The 7.9% rise will see the average ratepayer's bill increase by $320 a year.   The Auckland Ratepayer's Alliance says the council's budget is bloated and it needs to focus on cutting costs, and they already hear from people on fixed incomes and pensioners struggling to make ends meet.   Age Brightly’s Hannah McQueen joined Kerre Woodham to discuss some of the options available for those on fixed incomes, who might struggle with the increase.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
