Money Moments: Tim Rodriguez - Finding a Job as a Graduate, Choosing a Career & Budgeting as a Uni Student

Helloooo and welcome to this episode of Money Moments, where we chat with real Kiwis about their experiences with money. Today, we've got Tim Rodriguez, Marketing Coordinator and  Gen Z'er spilling the tea on his personal finance journey.

Tim's love for all things business and finance inspired him to prioritize his personal finance journey right out of uni - so much so he even ended up working in the FinTech space! 

Join us as we chat with Tim to hear about the valuable lessons he's learned from his uni days as well as navigating the transition into working life as a graduate.

Specifically, we chat about:

• What it was like to be the "Flat CFO", i.e. the person who managed the flat's expenses while he was at uni
• The realities and challenges of landing a graduate role during the first wave of the pandemic
• His decision to pursue a business degree instead of traditional Filipino career paths like law or medicine
• How he budgets his money using the paye.net.nz website, several accounts and looots of automatic payments 

And there is plenty more goodness in there, so start listening now!
