- 3:34What
- 3:34are
- 3:35some
- 3:35of
- 3:35the
- 3:35long
- 3:35term
- 3:35damage
- 3:36that
- 3:36people
- 3:36can
- 3:36do
- 3:36if
- 3:36they
- 3:37do
- 3:37act
- 3:37a
- 3:37bit
- 3:38recklessly
- 3:38and
- 3:38they
- 3:38do
- 3:39decide
- 3:39to
- 3:39pull
- 3:40money
- 3:40out
- 3:40of
- 3:40their
- 3:40Kiwisaver?
- 3:41And
- 3:42we
- 3:42saw
- 3:42this
- 3:42a
- 3:42little
- 3:42bit
- 3:42with
- 3:43COVID
- 3:43right?
- 3:43We
- 3:43had
- 3:44that
- 3:44huge
- 3:44horrible
- 3:44drop
- 3:45and
- 3:46then
- 3:46it
- 3:46bounced
- 3:46back
- 3:47within
- 3:47literally
- 3:48days.
- 3:49So
- 3:49if
- 3:49you
- 3:49said,
- 3:50oh,
- 3:50I'm
- 3:50going
- 3:50to
- 3:50pull
- 3:50my
- 3:50money
- 3:51out
- 3:51until
- 3:51it's
- 3:52ready
- 3:52and
- 3:53back
- 3:53then
- 3:53you
- 3:53would
- 3:54have
- 3:54pulled
- 3:54out
- 3:54your
- 3:54money,
- 3:55right?
- 3:55As
- 3:55everything
- 3:55wasn't
- 3:56worth
- 3:56very
- 3:56much
- 3:57and
- 3:57you
- 3:57would
- 3:58have
- 3:58missed
- 3:58the
- 3:58bounce
- 3:58back
- 3:59in
- 3:59price.
- 3:59So
- 4:00that's
- 4:00when
- 4:01you've
- 4:01lost
- 4:01a
- 4:01bunch
- 4:01of

- 4:05on
- 4:05your
- 4:06life,
- 4:06not
- 4:06the
- 4:06headlines.
- 4:07So
- 4:07if

- 4:07thinking
- 4:08you
- 4:08might
- 4:08be

- 4:16quite
