150. Em’s money story

In the conversation around housing affordability, it can be easy to get lost in the stats and figures. In doing so, we can often lose sight of the people behind the numbers. That’s why, in this episode, Tash and Ana welcome a guest who is living through the property crisis firsthand.


Em Readman is a writer and editor who lives in Perth. Despite earning a comfortable income, Em is unable to break into the property market. By sharing their experience, Em hopes to encourage others who are facing similar challenges.

  • 162. how to retire early with Captain FI

    54:37|
    “Financial Independence, Retire Early” – or “FIRE” – is a concept that Tash and Ana have discussed a few times. And I mean, come on – it sounds pretty amazing, no? Asking whether you would like a FIRE’d future is sort of like asking if you’d like to win the lottery. Who would say no if given the chance?In truth, though, reaching FIRE status requires an entire lifestyle. Some people love the challenge of living this way, while others might shudder at the prospect. If you’re not sure which category you fall into, but you’d like to reach FIRE, this session is for you.Why, you ask? Because in this episode, Tash and Ana are joined by renowned FIRE expert Captain FI to discuss all things FIRE.@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

  • BONUS | What’s your next money era going to be?

    27:20|
    If you’re listening to this podcast, you’re probably pretty committed to managing your money. Even so, it’s normal to become stuck in a money rut from time to time. It happens to the best of us, and it often only requires patience and consistency to escape.Other ruts, though, might require a complete overhaul. You know those times: you’ve been coasting by on autopilot, and at some point you lost track of your goals. When this happens, you can benefit from a mindset upgrade. And while that isn’t a concept we can summarise in a paragraph, it IS one we can explore in a podcast.Enjoy!@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

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

    29:42|
    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!@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

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

    43:55|
    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!@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.
