  • 173. Is it time to get rid of the 9-to-5 work week?
    Jun 25 2025

    Tash and Ana are joined by author and financial educator Lacey Filipich to break down the philosophy behind the conventional work week.


    Thanks solely to Dolly Parton, the 9-to-5 work week receives much more goodwill than it deserves. And sure, it serves all sorts of purported purposes – it maximises productivity, boosts the economy, et cetera, et cetera.


    But… is that REALLY still the case? After all, new technologies and increases in productivity have radically altered the labour market. Is the 9-to-5 work week still as vital as when Dolly released her seminal track in 1980? Join us to hear the Get Rich Slow Club’s take!

  • 172. How I quit my job with FU money
    Jun 23 2025

    Ana chats to Frances Cook, a financial journalist and host of Making Cents about the underrated power of small, set-and-forget money moves, especially when it comes to retirement.


    They talk about building “f-you money” so you can live life on your terms, having a fallback that isn’t debt, and how financial stress can impact your ability to think clearly and plan ahead.


    Frances also unpacks how some of our biggest money fears come from childhood—and why they’re not always rational.

  • 171. 10 ways to save for a home deposit
    Jun 18 2025

    The media isn’t always kind to people who are saving a first home deposit. When interest rates are high, headlines assert that “mortgages are out of reach for first home buyers”. When they’re low, those same news outlets claim that “house prices are surging faster than first home buyers can save.” No matter what happens in the market, the only constant is a press-induced sense of hopelessness.


    To this, the Get Rich Slow Club says: “Bah!”. That’s why we’re inviting you to tune out the noise, and focus on some simple, proven strategies to save for a home deposit. But not just ANY number of strategies… 10, to be precise.

  • 170. Renting vs owning: which makes more sense for you?
    Jun 16 2025

    Buying a home is a major milestone — but is it always the smartest financial move? In this episode, Tash and Ana are joined by author and financial educator Lacey Filipich to unpack one of the biggest dilemmas facing Aussies today: should you rent or buy?


    With the cost of home ownership climbing and rental markets tightening, this decision is about more than just numbers. The trio explore the pros and cons of rentvesting, opportunity costs, climate risk, homeownership stability, and the emotional weight of housing decisions.


    Whether you're weighing up your first property purchase, considering investing in real estate, or simply wondering if renting is the right fit for your lifestyle — this episode is packed with real talk, practical insights, and a few unexpected truths.


    Because when it comes to property, the answer isn't always "buy." Sometimes, it really does depend.

  • 169. How menopause and super splitting can affect your finances
    Jun 11 2025

    Menopause is a topic that doesn’t receive nearly as much attention as it should in our society. It sadly isn’t a surprise, then, that its impact on personal finances is seldom discussed in public forums. This Get Rich Slow episode seeks to change that.


    In this session, Tash and Ana are joined by ex-financial advisor, ex-accountant and now financial educator, Mel Browne. Together, the three discuss what can be done to reduce the effect of menopause on women’s finances. They also delve into the topic of super splitting, and how it can serve as a powerful personal finance tool.

  • 168. Tash's dilemma - should she spend $2,600 on an appliance?
    Jun 9 2025

    Many questions in the Get Rich Slow journey can be deep and profound. “How comfortable am I with risk?”, “How should I decide between saving and investing?”, and “How much do I need to retire comfortably?” are all common queries. Every now and then, though, it can be the simplest choices which are the most powerful.


    In this episode, Tash and Ana debate whether Tash should buy a thermomix. On one hand, it costs $2,600. On the flipside, Tash has wanted one FOREVER. This episode isn’t just for thermomix lovers (or critics), either - it’s for anyone who has grappled to justify a spending choice.


    Tune in, and with a bit of luck, you’ll gain some clarity on how you make spending decisions!
