77. Is it better to buy individual shares or ETFs?

Value investing is a strategy often favoured by those seeking to play a more active role in their investments. Touted by Warren Buffett, it involves finding companies that the investor believes to be undervalued, then buying them before the market recognises their worth.


To be fair, it’s not as speculative as some other active styles of investing. Even so, its focus on beating the market puts it at odds with the Get Rich Slow philosophy. It also usually prioritises individual shares over ETFs, which long-time listeners will know we love.


Of course, you might not share the Get Rich Slow Club’s reservations around value investing. Seeking potentially undervalued individual shares over ETFs might align perfectly with your risk tolerance. So, in the spirit of open dialogue, Tash and Ana spend this episode delving into value investing. To add more flavour to the discussion, they’re joined by Brandon from New Money – a staunch supporter of value investing.


Whether you prefer individual shares or ETFs, you won’t want to miss this!

  • 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.

  • 88. 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.

  • 87. Is relocating for work worth it? & how Harry 10x his salary

    26:40|
    You may have met someone who relocated for work. You may have done it yourself. 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”. There are a range of factors which can influence the outcome, from the location to the job opportunity. Even so, when considering such a move, it can help to have a decision matrix. That’s why, in this session, Tash and Ana welcome a guest who is a living case study for relocating.Harry Wallace is a buyers advocate at home buyers advocacy firm Wallace Advocates. He also considerably grew his salary by relocating for work. In this session, he and the hosts discuss their experiences with professional relocation, and what they learned each time. They also share how much it cost them to relocate, and offer their tips for anyone looking to move.@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.

  • 83. Bonds: what are they and should you be investing in them?

    36:11|
    Recently, we received an interesting community question, which boiled down to:“What can you tell me about bonds? I’d be interested in investing in them as a way to balance risk, but I haven’t found many content creators who talk about them.”In this episode, Tash and Ana seek to remedy this. As part of their bond analysis, they chat with Scott Nanfro from Guideway Services.
