Hello hello!
I went to Torquay on the weekend and LOVED IT. There were some fab winter deals so 6 of us rented a house and had a very chilled weekend full of phase 10, articulate and little walks.
I ended up looking at houses in Geelong to rent (~25 minute drive to Torquay) and it’s wild how much cheaper rent is there. I could rent a similar place to where I live now in Melbourne for $300 less. My lease is up in a few months so definitely reconsidering where I want to move next. Melbourne is fun but it feels like a bit of a waste of money to pay a premium to live here when Geelong or further east is sooo much cheaper. I think I’m almost ready to move back to Perth too. Very grateful to be able to work from home. Lots of things to consider 👀
On the weekend, I actually went away with a group of girls I met on the last money sleepover! We’ve stayed friends and people are still messaging in the group chat months later.
We are hosting another one from the 20th-23rd of November, so if 4 days of yoga, a private chef, money chats and new friends sounds like your vibe then we would LOVE for you to join us 💃🏻
Credit card offer 💳
20,000 bonus Velocity Points
*Important reminder: credit card companies offer these bonuses because they make money from them. Please take your time when deciding whether a credit card will be more helpful or more harmful for you.
You can now receive an extra 20,000 bonus Velocity Points when you apply for a participating Velocity credit card, on top of the existing sign up bonuses already available.
🚨 How it works
Head to the Velocity website

💡 Why it’s a good deal
Some cards already offer up to 100,000 bonus Velocity Points as a sign up incentive. This promo adds an extra 20,000 Points, giving you a total haul of 120,000 Velocity Points. That’s enough for:
→ 6x return economy flights Melbourne → Sydney
→ 1x one-way business class flight to Tokyo, Singapore or Hong Kong
→ 1x return economy flight to Los Angeles
→ A significant top up towards business class routes to Europe or the US (from 139,000 Points one way)
✈️ Is it worth it?
If you’re shopping for a new points earning credit card already, then this is one of the easiest ways to collect 20,000 extra Velocity Points with no extra spend required.
🧠 Things to keep in mind
Check annual fees, interest rates, and minimum spend requirements carefully
Take the time to consider whether or not you can use a credit card responsibly. There will always be another deal if this isn’t the right time for you.
You’ll need to apply via the Velocity promotion and select the bonus you want before applying
This is a limited time offer, and the best value comes when paired with a large sign up bonus
One of our team members is jumping on this offer to build towards business class tickets to Europe next year for their honeymoon. We’ll share the full breakdown of how that works in a future newsletter!
Travel deal ✈️
20% off selected Intrepid trips
Intrepid’s World Sale has 20% off a huge range of trips right now. There are plenty of fun trips to choose from, in destinations that range from Italy, Greece, Japan, India, Sri Lanka, Turkey and Morocco.
We found their 15 day Scenic Vietnam itinerary, running from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, has dropped from $2,615 to $2,092 per person, saving $523.
We looked at flights from Sydney to Vietnam and found return fares as low as $558. That’s almost the exact amount you save from the sale, meaning your discount essentially covers the cost of your flights.
I visited Vietnam earlier this year in June and it was great!
Other trips that are on my bucket list with Intrepid are their ones to Comoros Islands & Morocco but unfortunately 2025 is looking very full already. I’m definitely keeping an eye out on an Intrepid sale for 2026 👀
In case you missed it…. 🎙️
On the podcast this week:
In episode 187 of Get Rich Slow Club, Tash chats with Nick and Hayden about building Pearler, what it’s been like to grow a small, independent financial company together and how they navigated the highs and lows of the startup journey. They share how they’ve built incrementally, listened closely to community feedback, and stayed committed to creating a platform rooted in trust and transparency.
In episode 188 of Get Rich Slow Club, Tash and Ana unpack the latest RBA rate cut, bringing the cash rate down to 3.60% which is the lowest we’ve seen since early 2023. It’s the third cut this year, and they’re breaking down what it means for your mortgage, savings, and how to stay smart in a shifting economy.
Things I’m loving this week:
