In this episode of Get Rich Slow Club, Tash shares what happened after buying a house in Queensland and realising it sat in a potential flood zone. That sparked a bigger question: what happens when homes can’t be insured, and how does that impact mortgages, house prices, and the entire financial system?

Ana and Tash, together with financial educator and author Lacey Filipich, unpack how climate change is reshaping property risk and why it matters for every homeowner, investor, and future buyer.

Whether you’re buying your first place or thinking about long-term wealth, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating money in a changing world.

In this session, the Get Rich Slow Club dive deep into the murky world of bank transparency – especially when it comes to interest rates.

What do “basis points” really mean compared to percentage rates? How can you tell if your bank is actually offering the best deal on your savings account or mortgage? This episode unpacks the jargon and outlines the key criteria to look for when comparing rates, whether you're locking in a fixed loan or riding the wave of a variable one.

You’ll also learn how to find the most competitive savings interest rates, and how to stay informed as banks shift the goalposts. If you’ve ever felt confused by your bank’s rate changes, this one’s for you.

What if your clutter could pay your bills?

In this episode of the Get Rich Slow Club, Ana takes on a unique personal finance challenge: selling $7,000 worth of unused household items. Inspired by Gumtree’s research, which estimates that Aussie homes have nearly $7,000 worth of sellable goods just lying around, Ana decided to put the theory to the test – one toy, desk, and baby basket at a time.

From clever selling tips to mindset shifts, Ana shares what she's sold so far (hint: she’s already cracked $1,100!), the hacks that actually work, and why getting the kids involved turned out to be a surprise win.

Whether you’re downsizing, saving, or just sick of the mess – this episode might just inspire you to turn your “stuff” into a savings buffer.

It’s tax time – so what happens to your shares, ETFs, and micro-investing apps when you’re doing your return?

This episode breaks down what investors need to know: how ETF distributions work, how dividends are taxed, what to do if you sold shares, and how US investments fit in. We also touch on AMMA statements, capital gains tax, and the First Home Super Saver scheme.

It’s everything you need to make sense of your tax return (without the jargon).

Often, questions like “How much should I have in [savings/ETFs/shares/real estate]?” don’t have a straightforward answer. There can be a litany of factors which influence the right outcome for you – from “What are my long-term goals?”, to “How comfortable am I with risk?”, to “How many ongoing expenses do I have?”.

When it comes to super, however, the answer can be much more simple. And in this episode, the Get Rich Slow Club are going to help you find your super magic number. They’ll also look at super trends across different demographics, and – crucially – give you ideas to bring your super in line with your goals.

Have you stopped to take stock of your finances lately?

Yeah, we often forget to as well.

Fortunately, the end of financial year provides a natural opportunity to reflect on our spending, saving, and investing habits for the last 12 months. In this spirit, Tash and Ana spend this episode reviewing their money wins, losses, and lessons since FY23/24.

Join them to hear how they’ve invested, what they’ve earned, and (most vitally) what they’ve learned in the past 365 days!
