(Interview recorded on 25 August 2026)
Paul Brennan, host of Money Talks, is joined by Simon Angelo, editor of Wealth Morning. Here’s what they are discussing this week:
- Is the great Kiwi property boom finally over? After years of easy gains, the housing market has hit a wall. Falling prices and weaker yields are now putting the squeeze on property. Increasingly, investors are switching to shares in search of a better path to long-term wealth.
- Are we training young people for jobs that are vanishing? Graduate vacancies in white-collar work are plunging, even while demand for skilled blue-collar trades is soaring. As AI continues to make inroads, the career opportunities of the future may increasingly lie in practical skills and technical training.
- Could tactical MMP voting decide New Zealand’s economic future? Proposed taxes on wealth and land will have far-reaching consequences for all of us. Here’s how strategic electorate and party voting can alter the balance of power in our next Parliament.
We at Wealth Morning believe in objective, independent media where time is given to form opinions beyond the sound bites.
