Get Started Investing Equity Mates Media

A huge moment for us here at Equity Mates - we're celebrating 1,000 episodes of Equity Mates Investing and Get Started Investing.
In this episode we take a moment and reflect on the past 7 years. We discuss how we started, the milestones along the way and get into the business behind the podcasts.
Reaching 1,000 episodes would not have been possible without the incredible community we've built along the way. So however you engage with Equity Mates, we want to say a massive thank you for joining us on the journey. We're passionate about financial literacy and believe that what we've learned over the years are critical life skills for all people. We hope our podcasts have helped you build your skills and take the next steps on your financial journeys.
Here's to the next 1,000 episodes!

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.

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
