Episode Description

What should you do if you’re offered an extended warranty when you’re buying an appliance? Isn’t that what the Consumer Guarantees Act is for? That’s just one of the questions that we’re looking into on this week’s episode of No Stupid Questions, which is a dive into some of the niggly questions that annoy people in their everyday lives.

In this episode, Susan answers questions about:

  • Are extended warranties worth it?
  • Why do I need to declare personal goods over $700 when I enter the country?
  • Why are fuel prices at discount brands different across my town?
  • Can I opt out of biometric account validation?
  • Why do some teachers have an extra tax bill?

If you have a money question you'd like Susan to answer, put it in an email or voice memo, then send it to questions@rnz.co.nz.
