Money is something we use every single day, yet most of us were never actually taught how to manage it.

Whether you're trying to get on top of your spending, save for your first home, understand KiwiSaver, or finally learn what investing actually means, this event is designed to give you the confidence and practical tools to take control of your financial future.

We've partnered with Simplicity, New Zealand's nonprofit, low-fee KiwiSaver and investment fund provider, to bring you an inspiring and educational evening where we'll break down personal finance in a way that actually makes sense.

Forget complicated jargon and intimidating spreadsheets. This is real, practical money advice for everyday women.

Join us on Thursday 27 August 2026 at the Simplicity Head Office in Takapuna for an evening of learning, connection and empowerment. Enjoy a light dinner from Sumthin Dumplin, drinks from Clean Collective, and leave feeling confident about your next financial steps.

What we'll cover:

• Budgeting that actually works
• Creating healthy money habits
• Money mindset and financial confidence
• KiwiSaver explained
• Investing made simple
• Shares and long-term wealth building
• Saving for future goals
• Practical tips and live Q&A

About Simplicity

About Simplicity - Only one tweak in the main paragraph and then just added the disclosure text here.

Simplicity is New Zealand's nonprofit, low-fee KiwiSaver and investment fund provider. Since 2016, they’ve been helping Kiwis grow their wealth with low low fees, responsibly invested funds and a belief that investing should be accessible to everyone - not just financial experts!

Because they’re a nonprofit, they can focus on helping their members rather than generating profits for shareholders, and 15% of their fees go to the Simplicity Foundation to support Kiwi charities.

Simplicity NZ Ltd is the issuer of the Simplicity KiwiSaver Scheme and Investment Funds. For Product Disclosure Statements please visit our website simplicity.kiwi. For more on our fees, responsible investing approach and the Simplicity Foundation also visit our website simplicity.kiwi.
