132. Should you reinvest your dividends?...

Ana Kresina & Natasha Etschmann
About this episode

For those who live the long-term investing life, Dividend Time is like the Grand Final Week of a favoured sport. They’ll likely talk about it for days on end, and keep excitedly proclaiming details that non-investors don’t really care about.


The reason dividends can evoke such joy is because they offer a reward for your discipline. But while long-term investors usually agree that dividends are great, they DON’T always agree on what to do with them. Here, they fall into two camps: reinvest, or cash them out?


Unsurprisingly, it’s a common question among both seasoned and first-time investors. So common, in fact, that Tash and Ana have committed this Get Rich Slow Club episode to discussing it. If you’re not sure which decision is right for you – or how either option works – you’ll want to tune in for this session.
