Introducing the $100 challenge: How we t...

Equity Mates Media
About this episode

We’ve done the calculations. If you invest just $100 every month for 40 years, you can accumulate over $350,000 - thanks to the magic of compound interest. So, we decided to set ourselves a challenge. Every month, we’re going to look for a way to add an extra $100 to our investment portfolio. We need a plan to save or earn an extra $100 each month to reach our investment goals.


Here’s our ideas for March: 

  • Sell drum kit 
  • Do online surveys (AttaPoll) 
  • Shop around for a cheaper phone plan

We don’t want to do it alone either! Join us on this journey by sharing your ideas on equitymates.com.


If you enjoyed Finfest 2022 and want to be part of an even bigger FinFest in November 2023, register your details and we’ll be in touch with Earlybird access details.
