76. First Home Super Saver scheme and what you need to know about it
In case you’ve missed it, the First Home Super Saver (FHSS) scheme is an initiative that does what the name suggests. With the FHSS, you can save for your first home deposit within your superannuation. By doing so, you can aim to benefit from certain advantages that don’t apply to shares or savings accounts.
Like so much in super, the details surrounding the FHSS can feel a bit muddled. That’s why Tash and Ana have devoted this session to discussing the FHSS, how it works, and how it can help you save for a home. Give them an episode, and they’ll give you a primer in the First Home Super Saver scheme!

89. "Should I split the money I made selling shares?"... and more dilemmas
14:40|We had a lot of fun running a personal finance edition of AITA a few episodes back. More importantly, our listeners seemed to enjoy it as well – which is why we’ve chosen to run it again. This time, the dilemmas are juicer than ever.For the first dilemma, we tackle an inheritance-based quandary, in which a poster asks:“AITA for not sharing the money I made selling the stocks I inherited when my sister made a lot less selling the stocks she inherited?”Next, we discuss an issue in a share house:“AITA for thinking my flatmate should replace my blender after she broke it?”Finally, we explore a conundrum in which the poster won some money – and is still reluctant to loan their sister $25,000.If you’ve lived through any of these dilemmas, you’ll want to hear this session for its insights. And if you haven’t, you’ll want to hear it for the drama.@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverVote for the Get Rich Slow Club in the Australian Podcast AwardsDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

The First Home Buyers' Guide – What's it like seeing a mortgage broker for the first time?
33:38|Knowing where to begin as a first home buyer can be a challenge. Alien terms abound – from “home loan pre-approval” to “stamp duty”. One such term is “mortgage broker”, which manages to sound both vague and specific at the same time. Fortunately, mortgage brokers don’t need to be another source of confusion. In fact, they can shed light on many of the mysteries surrounding first time home ownership. What’s more, they can help you navigate the sometimes labyrinthine mortgage application process.In this episode, Tash from the Get Rich Slow Club chats with Kobe Clarke-Jacobs from Finance with Kobe. Together, they explore how mortgage brokers can help first home buyers. This includes how brokers make their money from helping clients; which other professionals a first home buyer might want to see; and the government schemes from which a first home buyer might benefit.Tune in to prepare your first home buyer’s checklist!@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverVote for the Get Rich Slow Club in the Australian Podcast AwardsDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

Whether it’s for a higher-paying role, cheaper real estate, or simply a tree change, it can be an appealing thought. But when you weigh up all of the competing financial factors, is relocating for work worth it?This obviously isn’t a question anyone can answer with a simple “yes” or “no”.
