Get Rich Slow Club

I think we can all agree that, unless you work for an accounting firm or the ATO, tax is preeeeetty mystified. Fortunately, this episode has emerged from the ethers of EOFY to right that wrong. In this session, Tash and Ana are joined by award-winning accountant Natalie Lennon , and together, they demystify tax. Wondering about marginal tax rates? They discuss them! Have questions about tax on inv...

Value investing is a strategy often favoured by those seeking to play a more active role in their investments. Touted by Warren Buffett , it involves finding companies that the investor believes to be undervalued, then buying them before the market recognises their worth. To be fair, it’s not as speculative as some other active styles of investing. Even so, its focus on beating the market puts it...

In case you’ve missed it, the First Home Super Saver (FHSS) scheme is an initiative that does what the name suggests. With the FHSS, you can save for your first home deposit within your superannuation. By doing so, you can aim to benefit from certain advantages that don’t apply to shares or savings accounts. Like so much in super, the details surrounding the FHSS can feel a bit muddled. That’s why...

The name “Warren Buffett” has almost become synonymous with investing success. As the 10th richest person in the world, Warren Buffett is arguably one of the world’s most famous investors. You’d be forgiven, then, for assuming his investing strategy involves access to assets most of us could never even fathom. Surely, without his deep pockets and mind for numbers, his approach would be too risky f...

Conversations around gender-based financial inequality often focus on how far we’ve come as a society. While it’s important to celebrate, we also shouldn’t lose sight of how much change remains ahead of us. To this day, financial hardship and homelessness still disproportionately affect women in Australia. And for all of our collective focus on individual efforts, there needs to be systemic financ...

Tash and Ana’s conversations with Emma from The Broke Generation have become the stuff of legend. In past episodes, they’ve covered an array of topics, spanning from budgeting techniques to moisturiser. This time around, they get a bit more philosophical – and you’ll be glad they did. In this session, Emma shares her learnings from a year of sacrifice, and how the experience shaped her money habit...

Tash and Ana recently received a thought-provoking question from a listener named Angela: “ I’m new to the world of investing and looking to get started. What are the differences between putting more money into superannuation, compared to ETFs? I’m a sole trader, so I can decide how much I invest in super. ” Firstly – thanks for sharing your question, Angela! Secondly – this is a pertinent topic,...

Emma from The Broke Generation has shared some deep wisdom on this podcast. However, while practical strategies and structured insights are useful guides, there are moments in which we learn all we need from a single experience. In this session, Tash details how the purchase of a $100 moisturiser altered her relationship with money. At a glance, it seems like a strange catalyst for change. However...

As a general rule, the Get Rich Slow Club approaches credit card points with a wary eye. Anything that compels us into spending more money clashes with our philosophy, and points can fall into that category. With that said, there are obviously times when we need (or simply want) to spend money. At moments like these, points can be a nifty hack in our quest to get rich slow. That’s why, in this epi...

VDHG is a very popular investment within the Australian long-term investing community. It was no surprise, then, when a listener recently asked us: “Is investing in VDHG long-term a good option?” At the Get Rich Slow Club, we don’t like to deal in “good investments” or “bad investments”. After all, the right investment for you might be the wrong choice for someone else. That’s because VDHG’s (or a...

Tax time may not be a highlight in your calendar, but it pays to be prepared for it. This is especially true when you invest, since you’ll likely face additional tax obligations. However, it isn’t a stretch to say the Australian tax process can feel a bit convoluted. To help you better understand it, Tash and Ana welcome Lawrence Petruzzelli from MDB Taxation & Business Advisors onto the podca...

Forming an investing strategy is good and well, but many miss a crucial step: actually finding the money to invest. While it might sound obvious, it’s a detail which many financial plans overlook. In this session, Tash and Ana welcome back Emma from The Broke Generation to address this very issue. Join the three of them as they discuss how to secure more money for investing. This includes: Increas...

The End of Financial Year may not be the most exciting date in your calendar. However, it does provide an opportunity to reflect on your money habits over the past 12 months. By reviewing how we’ve spent, saved, and invested, we can better shape our plans for the next financial year. And that, friends, is exactly what Tash and Ana seek to do in this episode. Join them as they share: Their net weal...

People have different views on the idea of real estate as a form of investment. However, there’s one detail on which pretty much everyone agrees: investing in property is expensive . That’s why anyone who invests in property wants to ensure they make the right choice. In this session, Natasha Etschmann ( Tash Invests ) and Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community at Pearler ) chat with someone...

On this podcast, Tash and Ana have hosted an array of business owners. Each of them has brought a unique perspective to the table, and (we hope!) inspired our listeners in different ways. In the wake of these guests, the Get Rich Slow Club has received a frequent question from their audience: “How do I make the switch from being an employee to a business owner?” In this session, Natasha Etschmann...

Receiving dividends can be one of the great joys of investing. For starters, they can serve as a reward for your investing patience. Secondly, if you reinvest them wisely, and the market conditions are favourable, they can maximise the effects of compound interest . However, the act of navigating the dividends process can sometimes feel a bit murky. To clear the waters, Tash and Ana devote this ep...

Starting a business can be an effective way to accelerate your wealth, but it doesn’t come without risk. The problem is, not many entrepreneurs are willing to speak openly about the mistakes they’ve made in their own businesses. In this episode, though, Natasha Etschmann ( Tash Invests ) and Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community at Pearler ) are joined by someone who is game to shatter that...

Recently, a Get Rich Slow Club listener asked Tash and Ana an interesting question (which we’ve paraphrased below): “I invest in two ETFs which track the S&P 500 and the ASX 200. Should I be diversifying even more, or should I stick to what feels good (and easy), which is automatically investing in the ETFs I currently have?” Tash and Ana love questions like this, because they get to the crux...

On the journey to getting rich slow, frugality can often seem like a less flamboyant travel companion. However, when deployed wisely, frugality can be a game-changer in any long-term wealth-building quest. That’s why Natasha Etschmann ( Tash Invests ) and Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community at Pearler ) have devoted this episode to their top frugal hacks. They’re joined in this endeavour...

Share registries are like franking credits or family trusts: most people don’t think about them until they become investors. In fact, if you’ve never (or rarely) invested before, your eyes might have understandably glazed over at “share registries”. However, whether you’re a would-be, novice, or seasoned investor, it pays to learn more about share registries. The better you understand them, the be...

“Financial Independence Retire Early – or FIRE”. The name is so epic that the concept practically sells itself. However, there’s nothing clickbaity about the road to FIRE. Like many topics we cover on this podcast, FIRE requires structure, consistency, and a long-term plan. The good news? With enough of those three qualities, FIRE can be attained by virtually anyone. Few people embody this better...

Many investors are perfectly happy to invest in just one ETF (or none, for that matter). However, some of our listeners prefer to invest in a diverse portfolio of Exchange-Traded Funds. For these investors, choosing the right ETF pairing can make a big difference. After all, some ETFs overlap in their assets, while others are diametrically opposed in their strategies. In this episode, Natasha Etsc...

In the investing space, there are two concepts which have gained a lot of traction lately. One is “venture capital” – or, to put it oversimply, investment in startups. The other is “impact investing” or “sustainable investing”, which we’ve touched on in a previous episode . That’s why the Get Rich Slow Club is thrilled, then, to host a guest who combines expertise in both. In this episode, Natasha...
