Get Rich Slow Club 170. Renting vs owning: which makes more sense for you?
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.
