145. SHORTS: How do risk and volatility work? 4:24

4h ago4:24

4:24

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 i…

144. SMSFs: What are they, who uses them, and what are the other options? 15:50

1h ago15:50

15:50

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. But for those who can master their requirements, SMSFs can provide…

143. SHORTS: How to diversify between asset classes 3:51

7h ago3:51

3:51

“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 explai…

142. The housing crisis: what causes it, and what the Government is doing to fix it 31:10

1d ago31:10

31:10

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 ho…

141. SHORTS: What are franking credits, and how do they work? 3:52

7d ago3:52

3:52

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. And if you invest in Australia, you’ll want to know about them. In this short, Get Rich Slow Club co-hosts Tash and Ana cover all things franking…

140. The best performing ETFs of 2024 - and why we would never buy them 17:11

16d ago17:11

17:11

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 pl…

139. SHORTS: How do shares make money? 4:02

18d ago4:02

4:02

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 …

138. Should you buy crypto? What it is, how to buy it, and the scams to avoid 34:21

16d ago34:21

34:21

Anyone who’s listened to more than one episode of this podcast might have done a double take at this title. “The Get Rich Slow Club talking about crypto?” you might have balked. “That’s like a vegan discussing the Carnivore Diet!” And, sure, it’s true that crypto doesn’t always play a key role in our investing philosophy. Even so, there are three i…

137. SHORTS: What is a broker, and how do brokerage fees work? 4:11

29d ago4:11

4:11

If your only experience with the word “broker” comes from “The Wolf of Wall Street”, you might have some doubts about the concept. In truth, the word itself has a much more neutral meaning than Leo would have you believe. In fact, understanding the function of brokers is crucial to anyone who is looking to invest. Fortunately, it’s something that t…

136. Should I sell my shares with everything that's going on in the US right now? 14:34

1M ago14:34

14:34

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. It’s understandable, then, that Aussie investors may have panicked at the news lately. With a fluctuating tech sector, a rapid …

135. SHORTS: What is an ETF? 4:22

1M ago4:22

4:22

On this podcast, we’ve spent a lot of time talking about exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

134. 9 budget-friendly date (or solo outing) ideas 16:35

1M ago16:35

16:35

Celebrating your romance, your friendship, or yourself can be a real joy. It can also be expensive. Restaurants are more pricey than ever, live events have been struck by inflation, and don’t get us started on the cost of flowers. Of course, none of this is to say that you shouldn’t spend on dates if you want to. But if you’re looking for some budg…

133. SHORTS: What is an index fund? 3:22

1M ago3:22

3:22

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 enti…

132. Should you reinvest your dividends? (And how to do it) 13:34

1M ago13:34

13:34

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-t…

131. SHORTS: What is the ASX? 3:28

2M ago3:28

3:28

It’s one of the first things you’ll hear about when you decide to invest in Australia. But have you ever wondered what the ASX actually is? You’re not alone – research suggests that 76% of Australians don’t fully grasp the working details of the Australian Securities Exchange. …okay, so we may have fabricated that figure. Even so, for such a focal …

At the Get Rich Slow Club, we often talk about investing and financial literacy in aspirational terms.

4M ago20:19

20:19

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.

106. How to pay off your mortgage early 16:54

5M ago16:54

16:54

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 …

5M ago19:14

19:14

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 the…

Teaching kids about responsibility can be a challenge. Teaching adults about money can also be hard.

Smashed avo on toast incurs a lot of blame for the wealth divide, but there’s another pursuit that attracts even more criticism: travel. “No wonder young people can’t afford a home,” a lot of headlines decry. “They’re spending all of their money on trips overseas!” It likely won’t surprise you to hear this, but we’ll say it anyway: getting rich slo…
