Leverage Addicts

The NZ Budget 2025 just dropped a bombshell – KiwiSaver is about to change. Whether you're 25 or 55, these shifts could radically alter how you plan for retirement. From contribution tweaks to new government incentives (or cutbacks), the KiwiSaver you thought you knew may no longer be the same. And if you’re not ready, it could cost you tens of thousands in your future nest egg.

In this breakdown, we take you inside the key KiwiSaver reforms revealed in Budget 2025, explaining what they actually mean for your savings, your investment options, and your long-term financial security.

👉 Is the government removing the $521 annual member tax credit?
👉 Are employer contribution rules about to tighten?
👉 Is the retirement age threshold shifting?
👉 Will default fund rules be rewritten?

We unpack it all — no fluff, no jargon, just straight talk on what you need to know now.
