Buying a home is a major milestone — but is it always the smartest financial move? In this episode, Tash and Ana are joined by author and financial educator Lacey Filipich to unpack one of the biggest dilemmas facing Aussies today: should you rent or buy?

With the cost of home ownership climbing and rental markets tightening, this decision is about more than just numbers. The trio explore the pros and cons of rentvesting, opportunity costs, climate risk, homeownership stability, and the emotional weight of housing decisions.

Whether you're weighing up your first property purchase, considering investing in real estate, or simply wondering if renting is the right fit for your lifestyle — this episode is packed with real talk, practical insights, and a few unexpected truths.

Because when it comes to property, the answer isn't always "buy." Sometimes, it really does depend.

Menopause is a topic that doesn’t receive nearly as much attention as it should in our society. It sadly isn’t a surprise, then, that its impact on personal finances is seldom discussed in public forums. This Get Rich Slow episode seeks to change that.

In this session, Tash and Ana are joined by ex-financial advisor, ex-accountant and now financial educator, Mel Browne. Together, the three discuss what can be done to reduce the effect of menopause on women’s finances. They also delve into the topic of super splitting, and how it can serve as a powerful personal finance tool.

Many questions in the Get Rich Slow journey can be deep and profound. “How comfortable am I with risk?”, “How should I decide between saving and investing?”, and “How much do I need to retire comfortably?” are all common queries. Every now and then, though, it can be the simplest choices which are the most powerful.

In this episode, Tash and Ana debate whether Tash should buy a thermomix. On one hand, it costs $2,600. On the flipside, Tash has wanted one FOREVER. This episode isn’t just for thermomix lovers (or critics), either - it’s for anyone who has grappled to justify a spending choice.

Tune in, and with a bit of luck, you’ll gain some clarity on how you make spending decisions!

The End of Financial Year may not be a highlight in your calendar, but it’s worth marking. Whether you’re contributing to super, saving for a home, or contributing to shares or ETFs, EOFY can make a difference to your plans.

For starters, depending on how you invest, 30 June may warrant some obligations from you. But much more excitingly, it can also create some opportunities to make the most of your investments. The only key? You need to get in before the calendar hits 1 July.

For this reason, Tash and Ana have devoted this episode to exploring how you can maximise your finances before EOFY. From boosting your super contributions to saving for a first home, this episode has something for everyone. Get ready to be more excited than you expected to be about 30 June!

If you’ve listened to this podcast before, you’ll know the Get Rich Slow Club likes ETFs. Another thing the Club often talks about? Dividends. It was only a matter of time, then, before we landed at an episode like this.

Join the hosts with the most (passion about sensible long-term investing) as they examine the five most popular high-dividend ETFs within the Pearler community. May this session on ETFs with divid-ends mark a divid-beginning into your ETF research journey!

Look, no-one wants to talk about their own will. It pretty much ties with “politics at family gatherings” and “ice-breakers in the workplace” for topics we’d rather avoid. However, writing your own will in advance won’t just spare your family some administrative headaches. It can also save them money – thousands, as this episode’s title rightly suggests.

In this session, the Get Rich Slow Club explore why preparing your will early could be the smart financial move. They also detail key considerations around will-writing, and how you can set yourself up for success.

Superannuation is a lot like your spleen: you spend most of your life not thinking about it, but when you need it, you’re THRILLED it exists. And if super is like a spleen, then EOFY is much like a checkup. Or a detox. Or a… spleen upgrade of some kind…

…alright, so this metaphor has lost its thread a bit. HOWEVER, the key point is this: the leadup to EOFY is an opportunity to make the most of your super. And if that sounds a bit vague, don’t worry – this episode is here to help!

Listed Investment Companies (LICs) have a devoted following within the long-term investing community. However, conversations on social media and podcasts often focus on exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Of course, no asset is going to be perfect for EVERY investor, as goals and preferences change between people. However, along with a range of other investing vehicles, the Get Rich Slow Club believes there’s a lot to like about LICs.

That’s why Tash is thrilled to host Geoff Driver, General Manager of Australian Foundation Investment Company (AFIC). Join the two of them as they discuss all things LIC!

This episode of the Get Rich Slow Club is proudly sponsored by AFIC.
