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.@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.

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.@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.

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.@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.

Housing in Australia is expensive.We don’t think any Australian with fewer than eight figures in their bank account would find this statement controversial. Simply compare the average income with the average home rental or purchase prices, and you can see the disparity.We’ve talked about the housing crisis before on this podcast. But is Australia ACTUALLY in the grip of a housing crisis, or is the problem actually simpler than that?At a glance, it might seem as if we’re splitting hairs. “Who CARES what we call it?” you might say. “Housing is too expensive; does it really matter whether we use the words ‘housing crisis’ to describe the problem?”While it might feel nitpick-y, the definition we use can determine the solutions we should (and shouldn’t) pursue. So to better understand what we’re up against, Tash and Ana spend this session chatting with economist Dr Cameron Murray. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer idea of what’s happening in Australia’s housing market – and how it affects you.@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.

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.

Social media can serve an array of useful purposes. It can connect us with our friends, entertain us with content, and even act as an education tool. But do you want to know where social media REALLY lets us down? In our mission to Get Rich Slow.Every time we try to adjust our budget, we see a friend sharing reels from Europe. Every dollar we save towards our ideal future, we find photos of some stranger flaunting a $100k car. And don’t get us started on all of the influencers who spruik high-cost items as if they’re supermarket staples.Of course, we never get to see the stories behind the spending. The credit cards which paid for those Eurotrips, or the lease agreements which financed those cars. As a result, it can be easy to reach a grim conclusion:“Everyone else is doing well. I’m falling behind. And the only way to catch up is to spend my way forward.”Not only is this idea untrue – it’s also unhelpful towards our Get Rich Slow goals. That’s why, in this session, Tash and Ana set out to equip you with effective methods to combat FOMO. From short-term planning to lifestyle structuring, you’ll learn how to stay the course in an age of conspicuous consumption.
