What Rail Upgrades Can Teach Us About Being Prepared
May 21, 2025

Did you hear the news? The New Zealand Government is putting over $600 million into upgrading our rail network — that’s a huge deal! Around $461 million will go toward improving the freight system, and another $140 million is going into making trains run smoother in Auckland and Wellington.
So, what does that have to do with you?
Well, this kind of investment is all about planning ahead — thinking long-term, making sure things run smoothly, and avoiding big problems down the track. And that’s something we can all relate to.
Why it’s smart to plan ahead — just like the Government
Just like they’re preparing New Zealand for the future, you can do the same for your family. One simple (but often overlooked) way to do that? Funeral insurance.
We know, it’s not the most fun thing to think about. But losing a loved one is hard enough without having to worry about how to pay for everything. A funeral can cost thousands — and that’s a big hit for most families.
