From its name – and the fact that it has its own acronym – you might assume that dollar-cost averaging (or DCA) is tricky. It FEELS like the kind of term suited up fund managers might use to justify their exorbitant fees, right?In truth, dollar-cost averaging is one of the simplest long-term investing strategies around.

Social media can serve an array of useful purposes. It can connect us with our friends, entertain us with content, and even act as an education tool. But do you want to know where social media REALLY lets us down? In our mission to Get Rich Slow.Every time we try to adjust our budget, we see a friend sharing reels from Europe. Every dollar we save towards our ideal future, we find photos of some stranger flaunting a $100k car. And don’t get us started on all of the influencers who spruik high-cost items as if they’re supermarket staples.Of course, we never get to see the stories behind the spending. The credit cards which paid for those Eurotrips, or the lease agreements which financed those cars. As a result, it can be easy to reach a grim conclusion:“Everyone else is doing well. I’m falling behind. And the only way to catch up is to spend my way forward.”Not only is this idea untrue – it’s also unhelpful towards our Get Rich Slow goals. That’s why, in this session, Tash and Ana set out to equip you with effective methods to combat FOMO. From short-term planning to lifestyle structuring, you’ll learn how to stay the course in an age of conspicuous consumption.

This podcast is no stranger to discussing the pros and cons of investing in ETFs compared to investing in super. It’s a deep and nuanced topic, though – which is why we’re discussing it more deeply, and with even more nuance.In this episode, Tash and Ana break down the various considerations, from “potential tax advantages” (super) to “greater investing control” (ETFs).

Across the investing landscape, disclaimers about risk and volatility abound. You’ll often see statements like “All investments carry risk” and “something something market volatility”. And sure, they can be a buzzkill, but they serve a crucial purpose. Think of them as a reminder from your parents to eat your vegetables – only for your money.But in the context of investing, what do “risk” and “volatility” actually mean? And how do they relate to YOUR plans to invest?

SMSFs are like Fernet-Branca or Wes Anderson films: many people tune out when you bring them up, but those who like them are obsessed.SMSF – or self-managed super funds – sound complicated… and they are. They also seem like they pose more risk than typical super funds… and they do.

“Diversify” is one of those concepts that long-term investors like to throw around. So is “asset class”. But when you put them together in a sentence – for instance, “It’s a good idea to diversify between asset classes” – what do they exactly mean?While it might sound confusing at first, it’s actually blessedly simple… so simple that we can explain it in a short.

The housing crisis in Australia is complex. Its causes don’t stem from one specific issue, and proposed solutions are often easier said than done. None of this changes the fact that, for many Australians and residents, it’s a real, existential problem.While the focus of this podcast is to getting rich slow, it’s hard to do so without affordable housing. So in this episode, Tash and Ana are honoured to host Federal Minister for Housing and Minster for Homelessness Clare O’Neil.In her discussion with the Get Rich Slow Club, Minister O’Neil discusses the causes of the housing crisis.

Vegemite. The Hills Hoist. Unreasonably expensive property. Franking credits.You may have only heard of three of these four things. However, franking credits are just as Australian as the preceding trio.

You may have heard us, a news outlet, or an investment ad say something to the effect of:“Past performance isn’t an indicator of future returns.”Now, you’d be forgiven for thinking this statement is simply some cover-all, get-out-of-gaol-free disclaimer. In truth, it’s a crucial concept that can seriously impact your investing strategy. And it plays a major role in why Tash and Ana from the Get Rich Slow Club don’t chase high-performing ETFs.We know this might sound like a counterintuitive concept – which is why we’ve devoted an entire episode to exploring it.

Advocates frame them as a sensible way to build your wealth (provided you understand the risks involved). Critics simplify them as a speculative venture akin to gambling. But while they have both fans and detractors, most people agree: shares are intended to make money.So… how does that work, exactly? When investors own high-performing shares, do they earn money via passive income? Or are they simply aiming to sell them for a higher price than they paid? OR does it depend on the shares – and if so, how do you know which is which?Cast your worries aside, dear listener, for all these questions and more shall be answered soon!@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

It’s an inescapable truth that the Australian shares market can sway under the influence of the US. Beyond the close ties between both nations, there’s also the fact that America maintains the largest economy in the world.

Investing legend Warren Buffett isn’t shy in his praise for index funds. For decades now, Buffett has insisted that most investors are best served by buying a low-cost index fund over shares. At the Get Rich Slow Club, we’re bullish on index funds as well – which is why we discuss them so often.But if you’re new to investing, you might not be entirely sure what an index fund actually is.

For those who live the long-term investing life, Dividend Time is like the Grand Final Week of a favoured sport. They’ll likely talk about it for days on end, and keep excitedly proclaiming details that non-investors don’t really care about.The reason dividends can evoke such joy is because they offer a reward for your discipline. But while long-term investors usually agree that dividends are great, they DON’T always agree on what to do with them. Here, they fall into two camps: reinvest, or cash them out?Unsurprisingly, it’s a common question among both seasoned and first-time investors. So common, in fact, that Tash and Ana have committed this Get Rich Slow Club episode to discussing it.

At The Get Rich Slow Club, we’re always looking to bring you actionable insights on investing. This episode, we’re taking a closer look at two high-growth ETFs that could be key to building a secure and prosperous future: Vanguard’s VDHG and BetaShares' DHHF.These two funds offer compelling options for different investor types, from those seeking a bit more stability to those going all-in on growth. On one side, we have VDHG, with a small bond allocation for a touch of security. On the other hand, there’s DHHF, for investors focused chiefly on equity exposure.This episode will help you understand the practical differences between these ETFs, from tax considerations and fees to global diversification and rebalancing strategies. Think of it as your guide to high-growth investments that balance risk and reward, whether you're just starting or seeking to build long-term wealth.@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

At the Get Rich Slow Club, we often talk about investing and financial literacy in aspirational terms. We showcase people who have retired early after investing in shares, or built their way towards property empires. However, there’s another, deeper reality at play: sometimes, investing can make the difference between stability and disaster.Perhaps no-one better exemplifies this than Marion Mays – money EQ and IQ coach, and founder of Money Strong. Following the birth of her first child, Marion contended with a string of hurdles. These spanned from her transition to becoming a sole parent, to health and developmental issues which required her to be a full-time carer for her son for seven years.Despite these challenges, Marion managed to stay afloat thanks to the financial buffers she had built for herself. Now, Marion is committed to ensuring other historically marginalised Australians have the financial tools they need to thrive.Think of this episode as your financial disaster preparedness kit!@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

This podcast has spoken about ETFs – or exchange-traded funds – on many occasions. A kind of all-in-one investment, ETFs seek to track a particular index, commodity, sector, or basket of assets. In recent years, they’ve become popular with long-term investors who wish to diversify in one buy.Okay, ETFs – we get those. But what about LICs, or Listed Investment Companies? If you read about both, they can seem quite similar; in fact, many people refer to both LICs and ETFs as baskets of assets. In truth, though, LICs and ETFs have some marked differences. And depending on your investment goals, one may suit you in ways that the other doesn’t.Worry not, for after this episode, you’ll have a clearer idea of which is right for you!@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

Anyone who has spent time on TikTok, Instagram, or even Facebook will be familiar with the Comparison Trap. We log on, scroll for a while, and we find a peer who’s living a seemingly perfect life. It doesn’t make sense: the poster is your age, and earns around your wage. How can they afford to live a life of luxury when you feel like you’re struggling to get ahead?Recently, a TikTok reel by @jen.rothwell touched on this very topic. And in this session, @tashinvests and Olivia from Her Money’s Worth use this reel as a launchpad to discuss the Comparison Trap. If social media has ever left you feeling behind the curve, this episode will give you a fresh perspective.@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

Do you know what the word “mortgage” actually means? It was originally a French term which – quite literally – translated to “death pledge”. In other words, it was envisaged as a debt which can follow you to the grave. These days, it doesn’t even stop there – mortgages often transfer to next of kin upon a mortgagee’s death. But do mortgages really need to haunt every inch of our mortal coal, latching onto our loved ones when we leave the realm of the living?No. No they don’t. And in this episode, you can hear some strategies for prematurely snuffing that debt pledge from existence.@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

Let’s say you could travel back in time to the early ‘90s. If you were to ask a thirtysomething Boomer which decision is smarter – buying a home or renting – they’d likely laugh in your face. Sure, interest rates were higher (as older Aussies often bring up), but prices were lower compared to the average income. Like, much lower. In the face of these figures, one choice stood out as the more sensible option.But these days? It’s not so cut and dry. There are an array of factors which can influence your decision in this current climate… so many, that we won’t try to cram them into this brief description. Instead, we’ll leave it to Tash and Ana to crunch the numbers, compare the stats, and help you find your answer.Enjoy!@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

Back in episode 29, we covered some of the key ways that parents or family members can invest for kids. This time, the Get Rich Slow Club is going much deeper, and comparing some of the most popular kids’ investing apps in Australia. Of course, we recognise that families take an array of different shapes. Some people may want to invest for their children (either current or future); some might have friends’ or families’ kids for whom they would like to invest; and some people don’t want or aren’t able to have kids. If children are a difficult topic for you, please feel free to skip this episode. However, should you wish to understand more about the kids’ investing options out there, this session could help.@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.
