'Property is easy, but I never bought as an investment' Tony Alexander | More Than Money

Are our careers an underrated investment? Tony thinks so. In this episode of More than Money, we get personal with Shared Lunch regular, independent economist, and weatherman of the housing market, Tony Alexander. Tony reveals how he had ‘a crisis’ about his own career path, feeling bored and trapped in his first job at the Reserve Bank of Australia, until he discovered his unique skill set as a translator of economic jargon—and shaped his own role around it. ‘Find what you are good at and you work it like you work nothing else, apart from your marriage, maybe, in your life.’ More Than Money is a limited podcast series exploring the wealth choices that change us. In these conversations, Kiwi legends give us a revealing look at one important money decision that helped determine where they are today: the strokes of genius, the near-misses, and the tough calls.
