  • 243. The real cost of not knowing money
    Feb 25 2026

    Financial literacy is not just about knowing money terms. It can shape your safety, security, and future, especially for women.


    In this episode of Get Rich Slow Club, Ana speaks with commercial litigation lawyer Julia Bell about what she sees when financial literacy is missing. Julia explains what commercial litigation involves and shares how a lack of financial literacy and understanding around things like high interest debt and compound interest can quickly spiral into devastating consequences.


    They unpack the gender gap in financial literacy in Australia, why women over 65 are the fastest growing group experiencing homelessness, and how this gap starts early, from childhood allowances through to career breaks, part time work, and the long-term impact on super for women.

  • 242. How much do you actually need to retire?
    Feb 23 2026

    Retirement can feel like a problem for later, and honestly, we get it. Most of us are focused on getting through the present. Rising living costs, housing pressures, building careers, and trying to get ahead can make long-term planning feel out of reach. But understanding the numbers earlier gives you more choice and flexibility down the track.


    In this episode, Tash and Ana break down what retirement might actually cost. They look at how retirement can play out differently for homeowners compared to lifelong renters, which is a reality many people in our generation may face. They also unpack how the recommended retirement savings figures stack up depending on the kind of lifestyle you want.


    Whether you are aiming for a modest, comfortable, or more flexible retirement, this episode helps you understand what those goals really mean in dollar terms and what it could take to get there.

  • 240. How to invest for a newborn
    Feb 16 2026

    In this episode, Ana and Tash talk through how to invest for a newborn and what to prioritise before getting started, after receiving lots of listener questions on the topic. They walk through the most common investing options for kids, including:


    • Investing in your own name, minor accounts, family trusts, and investment bonds, and the tax trade-offs and flexibility of each
    • Other options like investing through super, using an offset account, and when micro-investing might make sense


    The big takeaway is a reassuring one. Your own finances should come first, there is no single right option, and it is okay to change your approach as your situation evolves.

  • 237. How this DINK couple manage their money together
    Feb 4 2026

    When is the right time to join finances with your partner? How soon should you talk about money? And do you even need to combine finances at all?


    Well… it depends.


    In this episode, Tash is joined by Larissa to chat about how she manages her finances with her partner, and the conversations, money mindset, and shared goals behind it all. Together, they break down the different ways they each structure their finances with their partner and talk through when it might make sense to fully combine finances, keep things completely separate, or choose something in between.


    They also explore why fairness matters, emotional safety, and why having honest money conversations early on is so important. From being aligned on goals and money mindset to choosing a setup that actually feels comfortable for you, this episode is all about finding an approach that fits, whether that is separate accounts, shared expenses, or going all in together.

    Feb 2 2026

    With so many people in our community curious about starting a business or simply how it all works, we thought it was time for a deep dive into Tash’s business expenses so far. This year, Tash is launching her own mortgage broking business and, of course, she’s tracking every single cost along the way, big and small.


    In this episode, Tash shares the highs and lows of getting started, the real expenses she’s faced so far, how the backend of a mortgage broking business actually works, and how brokers *actually* make their money (don't worry, we've wondered this a lot too!)
