Get Rich Slow Club

Have you ever heard someone declare that they’re “bad with money”? Maybe you’ve said it about yourself. It’s an idea that many of us perpetuate about ourselves, alongside other myths like “I’m bad at maths”. But despite its prevalence, it’s a stigma that we can all challenge – and break. To tackle this topic, Natasha Etschmann ( Tash Invests ) and Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community at Pe...

If you’re in a relationship, it’s one of the most important decisions you can make. However, until recently, it’s rarely been discussed in mainstream money media. On one hand, it can be an effective way to build transparency, unity, and philosophical alignment in a relationship. On the downside, in toxic relationships, it can lay the groundwork for financial abuse. So, how can you know if and when...

Money management can be a paradox. On one hand, it’s the definition of cold, logical thinking – additions and subtractions and fractions and percentages. On the flipside, money relates to our hopes and dreams and fears – subjects which couldn’t be more emotional. How, then, are we to balance emotion with logic when managing our investments? As you may have guessed, this conundrum is precisely what...

The Get Rich Slow Club is back with another investing Q&A! Once again, Natasha Etschmann ( Tash Invests ) and Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community at Pearler ) respond to some of the community’s thorniest queries. These run the gamut of investing concepts, including: “What are the biggest mistakes to avoid when investing?”  “How can I get my partner excited about investing?”  “How can...

A key part of getting rich slow is changing the way we view supposedly “boring” topics. From budgeting to superannuation , this podcast has set out to prove that “boring” subject matters can be wealth-building game changers. In this episode, Natasha Etschmann ( Tash Invests ) and Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community at Pearler ) continue this trend by exploring an often misunderstood topic...

When we’re working towards getting rich slow, it can be easy to focus on the granular details. Research into things like ETF management fees and differences in online brokers can occupy much of your time. And while these details are important, there’s an oft-overlooked factor which arguably matters even more: money psychology. After all, the way we think about money shapes how we spend, invest, an...

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Diwali, or just Silly Season, there’s a universal truth we all face: November-to-January costs. A. LOT. Between gifts, banquets, end-of-year parties, and family trips, it’s easy for even the most airtight budget to come undone. Get Rich Slow Club hosts Natasha Etschmann ( Tash Invests ) and Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community at Pearler...

Over the last few years, the Aussie super industry has seen a bit of a revamp. An increase in comparison tools, calls for greater fund transparency, and initiatives like the first home super saver scheme have all been to the benefit of the public. Even so, there’s still a lot that many people don’t know about their super. To pull back the curtain, the Get Rich Slow Club this week welcomes a very s...

You don’t need this podcast to tell you that property is a fraught topic in Australia. Between clickbaity news headlines, nail-biting RBA announcements, and bank-busting Domain listings, it can sometimes feel like the game is rigged. That’s why, in this session, Natasha Etschmann ( Tash Invests ) and Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community at Pearler ) have approached the topic from a differe...

A question Natasha Etschmann ( Tash Invests ) receives all the time is: “How did you get licensed to give general financial advice?” To answer this query for one and all, Tash and her co-host Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community at Pearler ) have dedicated a bonus episode to it! Join Tash and Ana as they discuss how (and why) Tash got licensed. They also explore various license types; the...

If you’ve seen, heard, or read any financial content, you’ve probably stumbled across this phrase: “speak to a financial adviser.” Usually, it comes from content creators who don’t want to mislead their audience, or appear to provide recommendations. While one of our co-hosts is licensed to give financial advice, you’ll hear it plenty on this show as well. The reasons behind it are understandable...

First and foremost: we recognise that the topic of children isn’t easy for everyone. Families take different shapes and sizes, and some people don’t want or aren’t able to have kids. If parenthood is a subject you’d rather avoid, please feel free to give this episode a miss. However, if you have (or plan to have) kids, you may have considered investing for them. As with all types of investing, the...

Whether you have kids, would like to start a family, or have no plans for parenthood, one thing is clear: children in this country are expensive . Get Rich Slow Club co-host Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community at Pearler ) has experienced this reality first-hand. However, unlike many other aspects of personal finance, Ana found there were few resources to help expecting parents financiall...

“Money can’t buy you happiness.” It’s an expression most of us have heard for most of our lives. Of course, anyone who’s ever struggled to pay their rent, bills, or mortgage may beg to differ. True, money can’t buy genuine relationships, meaningful memories, or purpose in life. Even so, it can remove many of the stresses that often erode our sources of happiness. Is there an argument to be made, t...

So far, the Get Rich Slow Club has explored a range of methods to increase your net wealth. From investing in ETFs to budgeting and saving , there are a slew of strategies available to you. However, there’s one tactic which arguably delivers more satisfaction than the rest combined: earning more. In this episode, Natasha Etschmann ( Tash Invests ) and Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community a...

There are few people in the Aussie personal finance scene who run the game as well as Emma from The Broke Generation . As a Certified Financial Behaviour Specialist, podcast host, and financial educator, The Broke Generation has become synonymous with “millennial finances”. She also happens to be a good friend of the Get Rich Slow Club’s co-hosts. In this session, Natasha Etschmann ( Tash Invests...

Let’s be honest: budgeting doesn’t *feel* like a fun topic, does it? In fact, a lot of people swipe left on the entire issue. When they hear “budgeting”, they think of home brand beans and discount coupons and a general state of misery. However, it doesn’t need to be boring or asphyxiating. In fact, if you can master it, budgeting can become a superpower in your quest for Financial Independence. I...

Within the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) community, Aussie Firebug is something of a rockstar. Having documented his experiences with FIRE since 2015, Aussie Firebug has inspired countless people on their own Financial Independence journeys. In other words, he’s a pitch perfect guest for the Get Rich Slow Club. In this session of the Get Rich Slow Club, Natasha Etschmann ( Tash Invest...

“Financial Independence, Retire Early”. It’s one of those terms that sounds too good to be true, like “guaranteed return on investment” or “zero calorie donuts”. Add the fact that it forms a soundbite-worthy acronym – “FIRE” – and you’d be forgiven for smelling a Ponzi scheme. Give it a closer look, though, and you’ll find a money mindset that embodies the Get Rich Slow Club ethos. In fact, FIRE h...

At the Get Rich Slow Club, we relish the chance to speak with some of the brightest money minds around. This week’s special guest – Hannah Richards – is no exception.

In this episode of the Get Rich Slow Club, Natasha Etsch...

“I want to invest in the stock market, but I’m still paying off my mortgage. Should I pay it off in full before I begin, or should I get started investing as soon as possible?” Sound familiar? If it does, you’re not alone. It’s a common (and perfectly understandable) question for first-time shares investors. And as you may have already guessed, there’s no universally right or wrong answer. Even so...

In last week’s episode , the Get Rich Slow Club dived into the awesome power of superannuation. This time around, they’re diving even deeper – by bringing in the experts. For this unmissable episode, Natasha Etschmann ( Tash Invests ) and Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community at Pearler ) are joined by Trenna Probert, the CEO of Super Fierce . As a veteran entrepreneur with nearly three dec...

In the world of long-term investing, Financial Independence advocates often focus on shares and ETFs. In contrast, superannuation frequently gets overlooked as an investment tool. But while some see it as ETFs’ more boring cousin, super can play a key role in getting rich slow. In this Get Rich Slow Club episode, Natasha Etschmann ( Tash Invests ) and Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community a...

Since launching the Get Rich Slow Club, Tash and Ana have received an array of thought-provoking investing questions from listeners. That’s why they’ve introduced their investing Q&A as a regular fixture on the podcast. In this session, Natasha Etschmann ( Tash Invests ) and Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community at Pearler ) answer some of the community’s most frequently asked questions...

From the first episode, the Get Rich Slow Club has sought to champion one key concept: investing isn’t only for rich white guys in expensive suits. While it’s crucial to acknowledge the role privilege plays in wealth creation, anyone can benefit from investing. A shining example of this fact is Raul Engel , an expat Brazilian tradie who teaches immigrants to master their money. Having started inve...
