Moore's law is dandy and all that but doesn't have a huge effect money wise. Back in the 80s you might spend £1000 on a pc and these days you might spend that on an iphone which does more cycles per second but still most of your money is going on rent food and non tech things.
Also while Moore's "the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles about every two years" may be ending, the more significant rising number of cycles per second per dollar will probably continue one way or another.
I daresay the effect of tech money wise will do a step function if we hit super human AI. Rather than saying to a builder can you work on my house and him saying maybe Tuesday week I can do something, which doesn't change much if he has an iphone of not we'll be able to say robot, build me another 1000 robots and then a huge palace. Maybe.
