    $100 challenge: How we save money on our energy bills

    $100 challenge: How we save money on our energy bills

    For this month's $100 Challenge episode we're going deep on energy bills. We speak to Phil, who wrote in and shared a way he is saving thousands a year on his electricity and gas bills.
    The premise of $100 Challenge is simple: $100 invested each month at the market’s average return of 8% for 40 years is $350,000. Little steps over a long period can make a big difference. 
    So in these episodes we share ways to save or earn an extra $100 each month that we can put towards our investing.

    6 investing myths holding you back

    There’s plenty of preconceived ideas about investing that make us think it’s not for us or stop us getting started. So we went out to our Facebook Discussion Group and asked what they believed about investing that they’ve since realised was a myth. 
    In this episode we chat about: 
    How much money you need to get started Why investing isn’t as risky as you thinkWhat you need to know to get started Why trying to time the market is wasted energyThe multiple ways to build wealth in the stock market

SO good!!!

Dudes. I’m SO grateful. I’m 46, married, two kids, home-owner, stable job, pension - you get the idea. But this is an area I’ve never understood. So I’m hugely grateful to you guys for breaking it down so simply. Really excited to have started this adventure. Great work guys! Big thanks, again.

Fantastic show

I’m loving it guys! I’m over here in the UK and can’t get enough. It’s helping me ‘not let the perfect be the enemy of the good’ as you say and get started…

Excellent introduction to investing

I stumbled onto the original Equity Mates podcast a few weeks ago and am really enjoying it. This beginners guide to investing is excellent. They answer all the questions a newbie like me is too nervous to ask experienced investors. The info is easy to understand and helps guide me for further reading and research I can look up myself later on. I’m excited and inspired after each episode.
