1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Sitsy and with with Kate Ritchie podcast, I want to

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: talk about people who owe you money.

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 2: It's so awkward, and it doesn't have to be your coworker,

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 2: even though this story is about a coworker owing cash,

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 2: just anyone that you why can't they just pay your back?

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 3: Collector or a bloke.

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: I just thought that, Yeah, I don't know, not that

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: kind of deck. It's really awkward because you would like

9
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: to think that when you loan someone money they take

10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 2: the initiative to pay you back without really having to ask,

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: Like it's it's it's obvious.

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 3: It's so awkward, isn't it. It is such an awkward

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: situation with friends that when you owe money and people

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: forget about it, it's like, oh dude, where do I

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 3: go with this?

16
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: And I think it's worse when it's it's maybe one

17
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: hundred bucks or a couple of hundred bucks from the weekend.

18
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about thousands of thousands of dollars. But

19
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: if you've got a call like that, please give us

20
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: a call as well. But when people are living paycheck

21
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: to paycheck and they've loaned fifty bucks or something and

22
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: you just can't ask, just do it?

23
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: There's a woman.

24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I went out for dinner with this girl in

25
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 4: New Zealand and Queenstown.

26
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: You've always got a story about a girl.

27
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 4: It was you and I fixed up the bill. But

28
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 4: the girl I was with never really offered to go

29
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 4: halves or anything like she didn't.

30
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: Oh you are actually talking about that?

31
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, you never really went. And I'll get I'll pay,

32
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 4: Can I chip in it?

33
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 5: All?

34
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 6: Like?

35
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 4: There was just nothing. I don't even know if I've

36
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 4: got to thank you for the dinner quiet or quite

37
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 4: on the western front.

38
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 2: Well, I think it was your privilege to have dinner

39
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: with me, and that's what you were paying for. I

40
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: was there as the entertainment, the famous friend that turned.

41
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 4: Up up I did celebrity apprentice man.

42
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: And the other thing is, you know what whippers like.

43
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: I mean, you go out for dinner with him and

44
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: he needs to be a big man around town to.

45
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: Pick up the bill. He does the old sneaky I'm going.

46
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: To go to the toilet and then I fix up

47
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: the bill so he can grant and say I don't worry, no,

48
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: I'll get this.

49
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: I got this. And what am I going to do?

50
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do the embarrassing.

51
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 4: Please let me do my big I mean, you've got

52
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 4: my bank account details. Flick us a bit.

53
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 3: He likes to get the frequent Flyer points and then

54
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: he likes for you to pay him back transfer them.

55
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: Always see what's happening here.

56
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, you did an offer with the transfer, and I

57
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 4: didn't know how to bring it up with you.

58
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: But okay, can I get to the story. There's a woman.

59
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: She goes for dinner with a colleague. It's a bit

60
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: of a fact.

61
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: Dinner, and they don't She doesn't go out much, and

62
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 2: she is one of these people who is living paycheck

63
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: to paycheck.

64
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: She goes for dinner, the colleague says, oh my goodness,

65
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: I've forgot my wallet. That old chestnut.

66
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: So this woman fixes up the bill and then follows

67
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: up the next week at work.

68
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 1: Do you think you could pay me back? Oh?

69
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm a bit short this week. I'll pay you

70
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: next week. And this continues to go on. It's about

71
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: three weeks, three weeks down the track. And what's frustrating,

72
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: which is always the case when you've loaned money, is

73
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: that when someone is telling you they can't afford to

74
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 2: pay you back, but you're watching them to spend elsewhere.

75
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: So this woman is watching this woman, you know, have

76
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: a punt on the exactly, have a punt on the everest,

77
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 2: drink aparospres.

78
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: By the beach.

79
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: But then on a Monday morning they'll say, oh my goodness,

80
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, I'll pay you next week. And then

81
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: and then flips it and starts accusing the woman who

82
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: wants the money back of being a stalker on her socials.

83
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: So this poor woman has probably paid over one hundred

84
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: bucks that she can't afford. She needs the money back.

85
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: She's purely asking and getting incredibly frustrated that she's watching

86
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: this other woman live, you know, a happy single life

87
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: with extra cash floating around, and then is accused of

88
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: being this angry storm.

89
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 4: My sister went on a date with a doctor and

90
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 4: she forgot her purse right he paid, No, she must have.

91
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 4: How did it happen? She was driving, I know this much,

92
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 4: and she didn't, couldn't, didn't have the money to pay

93
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 4: half for dinner, halves for dinner.

94
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: And it was an expensive dinner.

95
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 4: So then she dropped the doctor home. The doctor made

96
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 4: her go past the ATM on the way home to

97
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: get the money out.

98
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 3: Extraordinary let's go to Jack's Extraordinary Jackie and Wheeler Heights.

99
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 3: Tell us about your daughter, Jack.

100
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 6: Oh, hi, there. We wanted a big holiday earlier in

101
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 6: the year, around February, big family holiday, and I said,

102
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 6: I'm daughter, you don't need to have more money than that,

103
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 6: and no, no, I'll be fine. I'll be fine. And

104
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 6: of course she went out of money very quickly, so

105
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 6: I kept lending her money, lending her money, and that

106
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,119
Speaker 6: was fiperary and nothing has been paid back.

107
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 3: So how much does she owe you? Jack?

108
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:49,679
Speaker 6: That two thousand dollars?

109
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's a lot of cash. And does she

110
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: still live at home or does she have a family

111
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: of her own?

112
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 6: No, she lives at home. So it's also been stuff

113
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 6: since we got back to because she's, you know, like

114
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 6: a lot of you, she's casual jobs, no reriger income.

115
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 6: So but but you know, if there's a lot of

116
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 6: bottoline shopping being.

117
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: Done, that's frustrating when the packages keep riding.

118
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: That's right, got your credit card?

119
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 6: No, no, definitely not.

120
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: Let's go to lin in men I lin you once

121
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 3: loaned someone a lot of money, Lyn, How much was it?

122
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 5: About? Fifty thousand dollars?

123
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: Are and who was this person, linen, why did they

124
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: need the cash?

125
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 5: So this person was a single dad and he was

126
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 5: looking at losing his house. They'd already gone into you know,

127
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 5: receivership or whatever it is, and paying all this interest

128
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 5: in everything, and I felt sorry for him. He was

129
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 5: good to my mum when my mum was really sick,

130
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 5: and to me after she passed away.

131
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: And I left, you are right, limb.

132
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, and thought about it for a long time, and

133
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 5: it's just, you know, I thought that this was a

134
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 5: good man, and you know, like anyway, he was supposed

135
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 5: to pay me back one thousand dollars a month. I

136
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 5: think I ended up only getting about three thousand. And

137
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 5: that was with a lot of effort, he saying that

138
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 5: he was had okay to do renovations on the house

139
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 5: so he could sell it so I could get my

140
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 5: money back. Yes, after about two and a half years,

141
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 5: still only about three thousand dollars paid back, and I

142
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 5: ended up having to go to the solicitor and put

143
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 5: a caveate on house. And then he turned really nasty

144
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 5: and it was just it was just horrible, Like I'm

145
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 5: just so you know, I can think you know someone,

146
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 5: but when it comes to money, Unfortunately you don't. I

147
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 5: just received the settlement from a marriage breakdown, and that's

148
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 5: the only reason why I had the money. You know,

149
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 5: I'm shrinking by well he's you know, not out on

150
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 5: the street.

151
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: And not so where is he now? And is he

152
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 3: she still around her as he skipped down, So.

153
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 5: So he's in the country and I haven't seen him

154
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 5: for a very very long time. I believe that he

155
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 5: ended up selling the house and I did get my

156
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 5: money back. But to make matters worse, just before he

157
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 5: sold the house, he had a lot of my mother's

158
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 5: furniture and everything that he wanted for a friend stored

159
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,960
