NZ Super

Thoughtful article from Rob Stock.

New Zealand media and political parties are obsessed with entitlement age for NZ Super currently 65. Retirement Commissioner says no need to raise it, and keep in mind its one of the  cheapest pension options (and probably the best) in the world.

There is no need to raise the age from 65-67, but in a world of change, poor policy decisions, and incompetence, the risk is always there, with both National and Act party keen to raise the age.
