In this bonus episode, economist Tony Alexander tackles your burning questions—from the case for a land value tax, to the flood of Kiwis heading offshore, to what financial education should mean for kids..

Tony shares why a land tax might not fly politically, how soaring rates could change where retirees live, and a twist on the “brain drain”—with whole families following their kids across the ditch. Plus, his take on why financial education needs to go beyond budgeting—and into the world of startups .

This Q&A follows our full chat with Tony on the state of the property market. Haven’t heard it yet?
