A good goal should be specific about what you want to accomplish. For example

  1. I want to save $100,000 for a home deposit by 2024.
  2. To build my investment portfolio to $400,00 by to ensure I have enough income to live a comfortable retirement.
  3. I want to save for two week holiday in Australia with my family.

A good goal should achievable/realistic, and relevant to what you want to accomplish in life based on what’s important to you. A good goal also needs a suitable timeframe of when you wish to achieve it by.

Currently, the MyLifetime App shows only life, trauma, disability and income insurance policies (not health, car, contents or home insurances just yet, although watch this space!). The policy must also be with Lifetime to display on the app. If you can’t see the policy, but it’s with Lifetime, please get in touch by emailing feedback@mylifetime.co.nz.

A net wealth target varies depending on individuals’ circumstances and lifegoals. For example, some people wish to spend more on holidays and experiences, whereas some prefer to save a larger amount for retirement etc. This is unique to each individual and is best discussed with your financial adviser.

We’re constantly looking for ways to improve the MyLifetime app! If there’s a feature you’d like to see included or if you wish to report a bug, please email us at feedback@mylifetime.co.nz.

Debt is money owed to another party. This includes mortgages, student loans, credit card debt, pay later services, and any other type of loans. Debts can be categorised as good (those that add value to your life) and bad (which take away from your net worth). It is recommended to speak to a financial adviser to make sure you have the right debt-income ratio suitable for your living situation.
