I'm thinking, Amanda, that AI is actually going to get rid of a few jobs in that because people will be able to do things that otherwise they'd pay $400 an hour for.

Amanda MorrallGUEST
It was a huge conference in Miami a couple months back with, you know, financial advisors there by, you know, the hundreds addressing what does the future look for us with AI.

Amanda MorrallGUEST
And lots of interesting conversations and the heads of Claude there talking about tools, et cetera, that they could use.

Amanda MorrallGUEST
So, you know, I think financial advisors are always going to talk their talk and, you know, downplay the risks.

Amanda MorrallGUEST
And there'll be a certain segment of the population who won't use these tools because they're the too fearful, scared, or old school.

Amanda MorrallGUEST
Well, my partner's convinced I'm going to be running off with some chat GPT avatar any day now because I do spend a lot of time with getting to know chat GPT and drilling out on everything, like you said, from cooking to how to change a light bulb or fix a leaky sink.

Amanda MorrallGUEST
So I probably wouldn't have said that about five years ago, but as I've got more comfortable and understand the, you know, the nuances and the prompts and how to structure it, I think it's a fantastic tool.

Amanda MorrallGUEST
Imperfect, but a fantastic tool for personal finance, particularly for people who are, this is the biggest thing I come across with people in personal finance.

Amanda MorrallGUEST
They don't want to ask something that they feel will make them sound stupid or they don't understand anything.

I don't want this question to be interpreted as having a crack at any profession, but I think there are certain professions where people who found it expensive to engage with them and basically can't afford them, and I'm thinking law, accounting, and also now personal finance, I'm thinking, Amanda, that AI is actually going to – it's going to get rid of a few jobs in that because people will be able to do things that otherwise they'd pay $400 an hour for.

Amanda MorrallGUEST
Yeah, the wealth management sector is rightly – Are they nervous? Should be nervous.

Amanda Morrall: What does it really take to retire in 2026?

Amanda MorrallGUEST
And that, and they do it by looking at people living in the city versus the provinces, and those who've got, you know, just barely scraping by, and those who have a little bit of luxury.

Amanda MorrallGUEST
There's a gap in both those areas, whether you're living in the province or, or, or the city, and, um, how much the New Zealand Super will afford for you and how much extra you're gonna have depending on what, how much you've saved.

Amanda MorrallGUEST
And a million bucks is basically the difference between what, um, the current cohort will need if they're living, and that's a single person, by the way, um, or two, two-person household rather, um, in, in like Auckland or, you know, Wellington would need between to bridge the difference between the, what they get from the New Zealand Super and what they're gonna need to grow old together and afford a few perks.
