What It Takes to Buy a House in Your 20s, with Tegan Yorwarth.

Today we are joined by the amazing Tegan Yorwarth - radio host, proud Māori wāhine, and lowkey money mastermind for our second instalment of The Property Podcast - in partnership with BNZ! In this conversation, we spoke to Tegan about how she bought her first house before 30 - while working in one of the most unstable industries out there. We chat about growing up with a scarcity mindset, the thrill (and trauma) of auctions, how she tricks herself into saving, and why she used to send her money to her mum to stop herself spending it (genius). Plus, we cover what it's like being a Māori woman navigating wealth-building, the pros and cons of dating a spender, and why true wealth is... sleeping in on a Monday, not buying a jet ski.We’re proud to be partnering with BNZ, because no two journeys to home ownership are the same.
