- 3 minutes 6 seconds149. SHORTS: What is dollar-cost averaging?
From its name – and the fact that it has its own acronym – you might assume that dollar-cost averaging (or DCA) is tricky. It FEELS like the kind of term suited up fund managers might use to justify their exorbitant fees, right?
In truth, dollar-cost averaging is one of the simplest long-term investing strategies around. And if you give us a few minutes, we’ll give you an explanation of how it can work for you.

2 April 2025, 6:00 pm - 25 minutes 6 seconds148. Balancing current wants with future goals
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. Tune in to this ep and win against the algorithm!

30 March 2025, 6:00 pm - 3 minutes 23 seconds147. SHORTS: How to balance your portfolio
Aren’t you sick of going to picnics and dinner parties and hearing your friends say: “Oh my gosh, don’t forget to balance your portfolio?”
…Okay, so maybe our circle of friends like to nerd out about investing more than most. Even so, keeping a balanced portfolio can be an important part of long-term investing. And while it sounds sensible and all that, what does it… mean, exactly?
In this short, Tash and Ana won’t only define it for you – they’ll also discuss how you can do it!

26 March 2025, 6:00 pm - 21 minutes 49 seconds146. "Should I invest inside or outside of super?"
This podcast is no stranger to discussing the pros and cons of investing in ETFs compared to investing in super. It’s a deep and nuanced topic, though – which is why we’re discussing it more deeply, and with even more nuance.
In this episode, Tash and Ana break down the various considerations, from “potential tax advantages” (super) to “greater investing control” (ETFs). They also explore a potential “best of both worlds”: investing in ETFs through your super. Is it possible? And if so, what exactly does it involve? Tune in to find out!

24 March 2025, 6:00 pm - 4 minutes 24 seconds145. SHORTS: How do risk and volatility work?
Across the investing landscape, disclaimers about risk and volatility abound. You’ll often see statements like “All investments carry risk” and “something something market volatility”. And sure, they can be a buzzkill, but they serve a crucial purpose. Think of them as a reminder from your parents to eat your vegetables – only for your money.
But in the context of investing, what do “risk” and “volatility” actually mean? And how do they relate to YOUR plans to invest? That, dear listener, is what this Get Rich Slow Club short is all about.

19 March 2025, 6:00 pm - 15 minutes 50 seconds144. SMSFs: What are they, who uses them, and what are the other options?
SMSFs are like Fernet-Branca or Wes Anderson films: many people tune out when you bring them up, but those who like them are obsessed.
SMSF – or self-managed super funds – sound complicated… and they are. They also seem like they pose more risk than typical super funds… and they do. But for those who can master their requirements, SMSFs can provide a range of unique investing opportunities.
In this Get Rich Slow Club session, Tash and Ana discuss how SMSFs work, and their potential pros and cons. They also explore some key questions to ask yourself before setting one up.
Get ready, ‘cause it’s SMSFin’ time!

17 March 2025, 6:00 pm - 3 minutes 51 seconds143. SHORTS: How to diversify between asset classes
“Diversify” is one of those concepts that long-term investors like to throw around. So is “asset class”. But when you put them together in a sentence – for instance, “It’s a good idea to diversify between asset classes” – what do they exactly mean?
While it might sound confusing at first, it’s actually blessedly simple… so simple that we can explain it in a short. Give us a few minutes and we’ll give YOU an understanding of diversification between asset classes!

12 March 2025, 6:00 pm - 31 minutes 10 seconds142. The housing crisis: what causes it, and what the Government is doing to fix it
The housing crisis in Australia is complex. Its causes don’t stem from one specific issue, and proposed solutions are often easier said than done. None of this changes the fact that, for many Australians and residents, it’s a real, existential problem.
While the focus of this podcast is to getting rich slow, it’s hard to do so without affordable housing. So in this episode, Tash and Ana are honoured to host Federal Minister for Housing and Minster for Homelessness Clare O’Neil.
In her discussion with the Get Rich Slow Club, Minister O’Neil discusses the causes of the housing crisis. She also details what the Federal Government is doing to address it, and shares her experiences in politics.

10 March 2025, 6:00 pm - 3 minutes 52 seconds141. SHORTS: What are franking credits, and how do they work?
Vegemite. The Hills Hoist. Unreasonably expensive property. Franking credits.
You may have only heard of three of these four things. However, franking credits are just as Australian as the preceding trio. And if you invest in Australia, you’ll want to know about them.
In this short, Get Rich Slow Club co-hosts Tash and Ana cover all things franking credits. They also discuss how they impact dividends in Australia, and how they can (positively) shape your investing strategy.

5 March 2025, 6:00 pm - 17 minutes 11 seconds140. The best performing ETFs of 2024 - and why we would never buy them
You may have heard us, a news outlet, or an investment ad say something to the effect of:
“Past performance isn’t an indicator of future returns.”
Now, you’d be forgiven for thinking this statement is simply some cover-all, get-out-of-gaol-free disclaimer. In truth, it’s a crucial concept that can seriously impact your investing strategy. And it plays a major role in why Tash and Ana from the Get Rich Slow Club don’t chase high-performing ETFs.
We know this might sound like a counterintuitive concept – which is why we’ve devoted an entire episode to exploring it. Tune in, extract some ideas, then make your own decision about how YOU would (or wouldn’t) like to invest!
