Each week the NZ Herald and Newstalk ZB's Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it's how to sort through the different options available if you've lost your job. Hosted by Frances Cook.
As our economy struggles through lockdown, the axe has already fallen on many jobs.
While it's well and good to say we need to plan for the rainy day, the reality is many people don't have any savings, and now find themselves without any income either.
Many people will have to ask for help when they're used to relying on themselves.
For the latest Cooking the Books I talked to Ronji Tanielu from the Salvation Army's social policy and parliamentary unit.
We discussed what help is available from employers, government, and community groups, as well as the free financial advice people can access from the Salvation Army and MoneyTalks.
