  • 159. Are you ever going to address your "silent dream"?
    May 7 2025

    We think it’s preeeeetty fair to say that we like talking about investing on this podcast. Of course, there’s a reason we have these conversations: by investing, we hope to propel ourselves towards the lives we want. However, many people spend so much time and energy working that they forget to pursue their dreams.


    That’s why, in this episode, we’re taking a step back and asking you to examine your “why”. What’s the one thing you’ve always wanted to do, but won’t admit to yourself? And to get more existential: at the end of your life, what will you have regretted NOT doing?


    Join the Get Rich Slow Club for a foray into how you can fulfill your unspoken dream without turning your life upside down!

  • 158. How Ana saved $250 on health insurance (Part 2)
    May 5 2025

    In a past episode, Tash and Ana explored whether private health care is actually worth it in Australia. If you missed that session, we recommend you start there, as it informs what the duo discuss here.

    All caught up? Great! This time around, Tash and Ana explore methods of keeping health insurance cost-effective in Australia. For anyone with a keen eye, we’re happy to confirm your suspicions: Ana kept HER insurance more cost-effective by $250.


    Now, Ana’s circumstances may differ from yours, so the exact amount may not apply to you. Even so, you may be able to learn something from her experience that you could apply to yours.

  • 157. Is Australia getting scammed? W/ Punters Politics
    Apr 30 2025

    At the Get Rich Slow Club, we've been honoured to host some of Australia’s leading politicians. Having said that, it can sometimes pay to bring a healthy dose of skepticism to the political landscape. There are few commentators in Australia who embody this philosophy quite like this episode’s guest.


    Konrad Benjamin created Punter’s Politics as a platform to navigate the divisive world of Australian politics. In his session with the Get Rich Slow Club, he discusses how he believes Australia is being scammed; how lobbying works; and whether politicians can actually be bought off.


    If you’re looking to up your skepticism dosage, look no further!

    In this session, Tash and Ana speak with Treasurer Jim Chalmers about Australia’s income, where our taxes go, and how Chalmers’ team decides what goes into the Budget. They also talk about his life to date, and what he learned about money as a child.

  • 154. Is private health insurance actually worth it? (Part 1)
    Apr 21 2025

    When compared to many other developed, free market nations, Australia’s healthcare system is pretty enviable.


    Don’t get us wrong, it has its problems; its staff are frequently overworked and underpaid, and not everyone receives the care that they should. Even so, if you’re uninsured and face a life-threatening injury, your treatment generally won’t leave you bankrupt. So with all of this in mind, do Australians REALLY need private health insurance?


    Well, as this episode will explore, private health insurance stretches far beyond life and death. In fact, depending on your circumstances, it can yield a range of benefits – from “discounted dental” to “bigger tax refund”. If you’ve been wondering about taking the Private Health Plunge, you’ll find this session useful.

  • 153. Why the super industry is bad, and how to (possibly) fix the housing crisis
    Apr 16 2025

    In Australia, talking about housing and complaining about the superannuation industry could be national sports. There’s a reason for this, of course: home ownership feels out of reach for many Aussies, and super funds have a history of hitting us with hidden fees. So, if these problems pose such issues, why isn’t anyone doing something about it?


    In this episode, Tash and Ana speak to someone from the halls of power in which such change can occur. Whom you ask? Why, none other than Andrew Bragg – Senator for NSW and advocate for change to the Australian retirement system.


    In their chat, Tash, Ana and Senator Bragg’s discuss many of the issues riddling Australia’s super industry. They also discuss national housing, cost of living, and Senator Bragg’s role plans for change.

  • 152. How Lacey retired early, and why you should take a mini-retirement
    Apr 14 2025

    The idea of “early retirement” is going to mean different things to different people. For some, it offers a glimpse into a future of passion projects, community involvement, or a life of learning. To others, it will conjure visions of a beach, a deck chair, and a cocktail with a pointy umbrella.


    Regardless of how it looks in your daydreams, one thing remains certain: early retirement won’t happen by accident. Fortunately, this episode’s guest has been there, done that, and come back to share her notes.


    In this Get Rich Slow Club session, Tash and Ana chat with Lacey Filipich. Having reached work optional status in her early 30s, Lacey runs Money School – an organisation which teaches people of all ages the fundamentals of Financial Independence. In her chat with Tash and Ana, Lacey shares her top tips for reaching early retirement. She also makes the case for giving yourself a “mini-retirement” before you reach the finish line.
