About Kiwi Retirement
Kia ora, I’m Jeff, the creator of Kiwi Retirement.
After recently retiring, I realized how little guidance there was for Kiwis navigating this new stage of life. Most retirement resources I came across were either geared toward overseas audiences or narrowly focused on finances. That’s when I decided to start Kiwi Retirement—a space specifically for New Zealanders who are either preparing for or already living in retirement.

Why Kiwi Retirement?
Retirement is a big shift, but it doesn’t have to be daunting. Whether you’re looking for ways to spend your time, maintain your health, or manage your finances in the best possible way, this site is here to help guide you through it all with a distinctly Kiwi perspective. Here, you’ll find practical advice, inspiration, and tools for making the most of your retirement years.
My Goal
Whether you’re still planning or already in retirement, Kiwi Retirement aims to support you in making the most of your retirement years—so that you can live well, stay healthy, and enjoy the journey ahead.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you find inspiration, insights, and a sense of community here.
