This week on the pod we're chatting with Natasha Etschmann, or you may know her as 'Tash Invests' online. We wanted to know what life was like for Tash before TikTok, Instagram, and “Tash Invests” became a thing.
Growing up in a house where money was openly discussed, saving felt like a game she wanted to win. That mindset led her to buy her first ETF at 18 and her first property at 22, setting the foundation for the strategy she continues to build on today.
In this episode we cover:
👉 What it was like growing up in a household where money was openly talked about
👉 Why saving felt like a game, and how that mindset shaped her early investing
👉 Buying her first ETF at 18 and her first property at 22
👉 The early trade-offs she made to build momentum in her 20s
👉 Navigating online criticism and tall poppy syndrome
👉 How her investing strategy has evolved across shares and property
👉 Why the real goal is freedom and optionality (not just a big round number)
