Get Started Investing

One question we get asked all the time at Equity Mates is, should I be investing if I have a lot of other financial commitments, including debt? In short, our answer is yes. Why and how? We answer that in this podcast.

We cover all the questions you should be asking yourself - including the conundrum between paying off debt and starting an investment portfolio - what should come first? We also talk about understanding the type of debt you have, and the effect of interest rates on servicing your loan.

Some of our favourite resources and offers to help you during your journey:

• $50-$200 OFF some amazing investing courses by our friend-of-the-show, Owen
• Track your investment portfolio with Sharesight.
• Get a free stock when you sign-up to Stake, using the code EQUITYMATES
• Get exclusive access to our favourite data and insights platform, TIKR
• Take the emotion out of investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold and Silver with micro-investing app, Bamboo. Use EQUITY MATES for $10 when you sign-up
• Get $15 of Bitcoin, using one of our favourite crypto-currency exchanges, Swyftx
• Get free trades if you plan to use the broker SelfWealth

Rohan's back! And he sits down with Alec and Bryce to talk about how his investing journey has progressed since he first opened his CommSec Pocket app all those months ago. He answers all the pressing questions: Is he still using CommSec pocket? Has he found any resources to be particularly helpful? Has it changed his mind about investing? Does he have any advice for people listening who haven't started investing yet? Is there truth to the rumour he's become an incredibly successful day trader?

Bryce and Alec sit down with Natasha Etschmann - who documents her investing journey on Instagram and TikTok under the handle @tashinvests. At just 23 years old, Tash has built a sizeable portfolio, and wants to prove you don't need to work in finance to be good with your personal finance!

Tash talks about her million dollar investing goal, investing for the first time when she was just eighteen, property versus investing, and her ultimate goal of achieving financial freedom and what that looks like... without sacrificing the things you she wants to enjoy along the way.
