Do our politicians remember what it's like to be the little guy like you or me, and are they keeping an eye on the issues affecting our lives? How hard it is to make ends meet? Do they have a few suggestions on what we can do for life to be a bit easier?
Money issues touch every part of our lives, and I want to know what the people in charge think about it.
So, I had a chat to the freshly minted leader of the Labour Party, Jacinda Ardern, about the lessons she learned trying to budget from a young age.
We also talked about how the budgeting lessons from her mum changed Ardern's relationship with money, how difficult it is for people to resist loan sharks, and how much responsibility schools have for teaching financial literacy.
