The UK is a nation obsessed with property, but is it a good investment? Shares debates this topic and looks at smarter ways to get bricks and mortar exposure.

Also this week: why the subscriptions economy is set to grow significantly; a neat trick to educate children about managing money; and get paid to refer family and friends for everything from banking to mobile phones.
