KiwiSaver Fees, FOMO, and First Principles, with EarnabuckNZ -Ways to Wealth EP126

In this episode of the Ways to Wealth Podcast, Charlie is joined by EarnabuckNZ!EarnabuckNZ runs an investing education channel focused on helping Kiwis understand KiwiSaver, managed funds, and the real world factors that drive long term outcomes. They unpack why derivatives are fascinating but rarely appropriate for most audiences, then move into the fundamentals that actually move the needle for everyday investors. Active versus passive, what to look for inside a fund, and why benchmarks matter only if you can clearly explain what they are.The conversation also explores EarnabuckNZ’s personal journey through the 2020 bull run and the 2022 drawdown, and how the pain of volatility forced better portfolio construction, process, and emotional discipline. From concentrated stock picking and FOMO to a simplified core and satellite approach, the theme is consistent: avoid catastrophic mistakes, keep compounding, and stay grounded in first principles.Check out EarnabuckNZ on Instagram here.
