One thing you could do is look at sectors, eg retirement, retail, infrastructure. Set up a mock portfolio on ASB or ANZ Securities and watch the companies and their announcements for a while.
A question - are you looking to buy a property? That might change what you do. However, renting even forever might be a good option - you sound like an excellent tenant who will usually be top of a landlord's list. Plus rent is probably cheaper than home ownership, with no maintenance hassles.
