Yields have already climbed to levels last seen in 2002 but most investors are still banking on the post-Covid inflation being a temporary spike. That was a solid assumption, but at almost a third of the way back to the 1981 highs, could it be time to look at this?

I have sat across from hundreds of people with an inheritance coming, and almost always they make one of two mistakes. The less common one is when people take their foot off the gas - The knowledge of money coming justifies no budget, no discipline, no plan. Black holes for intergenerational wealth. The second mistake is worse, and I think it often comes from a decent instinct. People live like the money is never going to come. They play it safe. What if an inheritance didn't work as a safety net, but a permission slip? Book in a free 15-min phone call with Darcy Ungaro (financial adviser). Sign up to the fortnightly newsletter!

It's a Holiday! No, wait, it isn't. It's no holiday when you're poor. You can sleep in the garage this summer and you'll be grateful. You're poor, and it sucks. Maybe there's a way out? Christians Against Poverty, or CAP, is an organisation devoted to fighting poverty and helping people break free from a cycle of debt. Sam Garaway talks to me about their collaboration between them and Sorted (The Retirement Commission) to bring to market an app that helps place a fence at the top of the cliff. You should donate to them. Know anyone who could benefit from a free money course with CAP? Book in a free 15-min phone call with Darcy Ungaro (financial adviser).

Dominic Frisby: comedian, author, and one of the sharpest voices on gold, Bitcoin, and government money. His main argument is that CPI figures have created a mass delusion effect, which hides the fact most Western countries have been in recession for years.

In Argentina, currency collapse forced people to understand money. In New Zealand, we're too comfortable to ask where inflation comes from. In this episode, Francisco Colombo from Bitcoin Journey joins me to unpack how Bitcoin is being used in Queenstown's Bitcoin Basin: not as a speculative bet, but as a real, working alternative to cash. We cover self-custody, why Bitcoin passes (or fails) the classic tests of money, how New Zealand's tax treatment shapes everyday use, and why this is ultimately about self-sovereignty, not "number go up." If you're Bitcoin-curious but haven't done the research yet, come along this week in Auckland to get some free education. Book in a free 15-min phone call with Darcy Ungaro (financial adviser).

The Reserve Bank of NZ has hiked the OCR (official cash rate) twice off the lows and says the recovery has “most likely resumed, but remains uneven.” Headline inflation is 4.1% because of fuel, but if you take that out, you’re at 2.9% (inside the target band). I think the question is simple: can the Kiwi economy handle the hikes, or do we get a forced cut and a longer grind? My guest is Jarrod Kerr, chief economist at Kiwibank.

Everyday investors will have access to 24/7 share trading in the form of tokenised securities, but there's a problem. NZ rules are built for a paper-era and no one wants to stick their neck out. Deputy Prime Minister and ACT leader David Seymour talked to me last Friday about their new proposal: A one-year bright-line test on digital-asset gains. Will this unlock NZ's digital economy? It might. Learn how to take greater control of your KiwiSaver: Book in a 15-min phone call with Darcy Ungaro (financial adviser). Sign up to the fortnightly newsletter!

Check out my Substack here. Tim Doyle, crypto currency tax expert joins me on this one to talk about a recent case where a client of his posted Bitcoin as collateral to take out a fiat currency loan. The idea is to borrow cash, without ever selling Bitcoin, much in the same way you might top up your mortgage to free up cash without having to sell your home. But Inland Revenue's response was to classify the posting of collateral as a disposal - Which means it’s a taxable event. What's the big deal? If the world is heading more digital (and it is), then will other types of borrowing potentially trigger tax obligations too? Book in a free 15-min phone call with Darcy Ungaro (financial adviser).

We’ve been through plenty of property cycles in New Zealand, but this one feels different. It's been called the worst downturn in 50, or even 60 years. Auckland and Wellington have been hit hardest, while other parts of the country are holding up far better (and in a few places, still growing.) Today I’m joined by economist Ed McKnight from Opes Partners to unpack what’s really going on. We’ll look at the numbers, the regional split, why some Australians are starting to eye New Zealand property again, and why trying to predict the exact bottom is usually a fool’s errand.

An economist [I used to respect] was recently asked, why is debt getting more expensive? His response? "this is what happens when your economy is starting to show some growth and the risk for inflationary pressures shift upward." It’s almost like our economists care too much about getting a job at the RBNZ than they do speaking the truth. Read more. Meanwhile, just over half of all Kiwis, feel unprepared for retirement (and that includes debt-free homeowners who thought they’d done everything right.) Something has to be done to fix this, but is asking the government to make more rules around KiwiSaver really the right answer? Ben Davin and Mark White-Robinson join me to discuss.

If New Zealand approved a 'de minimus' tax exception for small Bitcoin transactions, we might become a magnet for the type of people who could make this country great again. This conversation was recorded before the Coldcard exploit, which cost hundreds of holders their coins, was known. I'm joined by Mikey Smith, founder and CEO of Guardian Smith and Treasurer of Bitcoin Policy New Zealand, and Kevin Whitmore, Chair of Bitcoin Policy New Zealand: two people who live and breathe this stuff, and who bring both the policy chops and the on-the-ground perspective to make sense of it.

The most common manifestation of active investing is timing the market. Get out at the top, sit in cash, wait for the crash, then jump back in. I see a lot of investors thinking and doing this right now, and while it's understandable, what happens if everyone's looking at the same information? Read full article (not AI).

On the 23rd of June 2026, something happened to the South Korean index that hasn't happened since 1980. Francis Hunt (aka 'The Market Sniper') thinks this may be the canary in the coal mine which could trigger, not just an AI 'correction', but a global credit event. Is he a doomer, or someone with a different set of incentives? As usual, this isn't financial advice, but I do hope it gets you thinking.

The way I see it, the biggest financial mistake most people make isn't getting in wrong - it's getting out wrong. As an example, gold is down 25% from its all-time high. If you hold any investment that drops this much within 6 months you're prone to wondering if you called it wrong. Today I want to be honest about that. Not to reassure you, and not to panic you, but to use this as an example in how to ask the question of yourself - when's the best time for you to exit your favourite investment?
