139. SHORTS: How do shares make money?
Advocates frame them as a sensible way to build your wealth (provided you understand the risks involved). Critics simplify them as a speculative venture akin to gambling. But while they have both fans and detractors, most people agree: shares are intended to make money.So… how does that work, exactly? When investors own high-performing shares, do they earn money via passive income? Or are they simply aiming to sell them for a higher price than they paid? OR does it depend on the shares – and if so, how do you know which is which?Cast your worries aside, dear listener, for all these questions and more shall be answered soon!@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

137. SHORTS: What is a broker, and how do brokerage fees work?
If your only experience with the word “broker” comes from “The Wolf of Wall Street”, you might have some doubts about the concept.

In the time it takes you to finish the dishes, you’ll be well-versed in all things broker!@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

136. Should I sell my shares with everything that's going on in the US right now?
It’s an inescapable truth that the Australian shares market can sway under the influence of the US. Beyond the close ties between both nations, there’s also the fact that America maintains the largest economy in the world.

With a fluctuating tech sector, a rapid shift in policies, and the looming threat of tariffs, many have asked:“Should I just sell my shares now?”Tash and Ana aren’t your personal financial advisers, and can’t tell you what you should do with your shares.

133. SHORTS: What is an index fund?
Investing legend Warren Buffett isn’t shy in his praise for index funds. For decades now, Buffett has insisted that most investors are best served by buying a low-cost index fund over shares. At the Get Rich Slow Club, we’re bullish on index funds as well – which is why we discuss them so often.But if you’re new to investing, you might not be entirely sure what an index fund actually is. Like “synergy” or “gang gang”, you could use it in a sentence, but might struggle to provide a textbook definition. Worry not, though, for by this episode’s end, you’ll feel qualified to hold your own in any index fund conversation!@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

132. Should you reinvest your dividends? (And how to do it)
For those who live the long-term investing life, Dividend Time is like the Grand Final Week of a favoured sport. They’ll likely talk about it for days on end, and keep excitedly proclaiming details that non-investors don’t really care about.The reason dividends can evoke such joy is because they offer a reward for your discipline. But while long-term investors usually agree that dividends are great, they DON’T always agree on what to do with them. Here, they fall into two camps: reinvest, or cash them out?Unsurprisingly, it’s a common question among both seasoned and first-time investors. So common, in fact, that Tash and Ana have committed this Get Rich Slow Club episode to discussing it. If you’re not sure which decision is right for you – or how either option works – you’ll want to tune in for this session.@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.

It’s one of the first things you’ll hear about when you decide to invest in Australia. But have you ever wondered what the ASX actually is? You’re not alone – research suggests that 76% of Australians don’t fully grasp the working details of the Australian Securities Exchange.…okay, so we may have fabricated that figure.
