If parenthood is a subject you’d rather avoid, please feel free to give this episode a miss.However, if you have (or plan to have) kids, you may have considered investing for them. As with all types of investing, there’s no definitive answer – there’s only what’s right for you. But if you’d like to ponder the topic more deeply, this Get Rich Slow Club episode is here to help.In this session, Natasha Etschmann (Tash Invests) and Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community at Pearler) discuss the myriad forms of investing for your kids.

Finally, they identify a series of questions you can ask yourself to find the right approach for yourself (even if that’s no approach at all).@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

28. Can money actually buy happiness? feat. Kate Campbell, author of Buying Happiness
“Money can’t buy you happiness.” It’s an expression most of us have heard for most of our lives. Of course, anyone who’s ever struggled to pay their rent, bills, or mortgage may beg to differ. True, money can’t buy genuine relationships, meaningful memories, or purpose in life. Even so, it can remove many of the stresses that often erode our sources of happiness. Is there an argument to be made, then, that money can buy happiness?Few people are better positioned to explore this topic than Kate Campbell – financial educator and author of “Buying Happiness”. In this episode, Natasha Etschmann (Tash Invests) and Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community at Pearler) speak with Kate about the money/happiness quandary. Kate also details five ways to use your money and time to buy happiness, and highlights how money has influenced her own happiness journey.Beyond money and happiness, Kate shares an array of ideas around personal finance in general. These range from creating an emergency fund, to better understanding ETFs, to pinpointing your net worth. Stick around to the end, and you may learn a thing or two you weren’t expecting to learn!@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.
