A call for boosts to financial literacy

A survey from insurer Partners Life has found just over half of respondents reported stress or lost sleep due to money.

While 59 percent said they found it tough to keep up with monthly expenses.

Chief Solutions Officer Kate Dron says its launched a free intiative for adult New Zealanders to strengthen their financial skills called the Money Month challenge.

She says there are other pleasing developments.

Dron says the introduction of financial skills into schools from next year is a positive move.
