At the Get Rich Slow Club, we've been honoured to host some of Australia’s leading politicians. Having said that, it can sometimes pay to bring a healthy dose of skepticism to the political landscape. There are few commentators in Australia who embody this philosophy quite like this episode’s guest.

Konrad Benjamin created Punter’s Politics as a platform to navigate the divisive world of Australian politics. In his session with the Get Rich Slow Club, he discusses how he believes Australia is being scammed; how lobbying works; and whether politicians can actually be bought off.

If you’re looking to up your skepticism dosage, look no further!

In a podcast about money, budgeting, and long-term investing, an interview with the National Treasurer is a pretty big deal. That’s why the Get Rich Slow Club is properly stoked to be hosting this special guest.

In this session, Tash and Ana speak with Treasurer Jim Chalmers about Australia’s income, where our taxes go, and how Chalmers’ team decides what goes into the Budget. They also talk about his life to date, and what he learned about money as a child.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Despite earning a comfortable income, Em is unable to break into the property market. By sharing their experience, Em hopes to encourage others who are facing similar challenges.
