The podcast that peaks 18 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: into the financial lives of everyday Australians. I'm Michael Thompson. 19 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: I'm an author and the co host of the podcast 20 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: Fear and Greed Business News, and as always I'm with 21 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: Canna Campbell, financial planner and founder of Sugar mam A TV, 22 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: the financial literacy platform that you find just about everywhere 23 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: that you can consume content podcasts like this one and 24 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: Instagram and threads and TikTok and everywhere all over the place. 25 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: Hello Canna, Hello. Can a serious topic today. It's actually 26 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: a genuinely serious one, and it's one that can be 27 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: a little bit delicate at times. We're talking about what 28 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: to do when you notice that somebody is in financial trouble. 29 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: It might be a friend, it might be a family member, 30 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: it might be somebody that you work with, and they 31 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: might not have actually necessarily have confided in you that 32 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: they are having trouble, but you might have seen some 33 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: of the signs that they are struggling. 34 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: Or even intuitively pick something up. 35 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, just comments that they've made or something 36 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: like that. So the question is kind of do you 37 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: do anything, how much do you do? How do you 38 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: go about it? So there's a fair bit in this, 39 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: and as I say, a delicate one. Can we start 40 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: with the warning signs, assuming that someone doesn't just come 41 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: straight out to you and say, hey, I'm in trouble. 42 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: I haven't got enough money, I haven't got like I 43 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: can't afford to pay my rent or something. What are 44 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: some of the warning signs that someone that you know 45 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: is in financial trouble. 46 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: Well, first of all, some signs can be quite subtle. 47 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 2: Obviously some are quite obvious. So the classic one is 48 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 2: changes in spending habits, so suddenly going becoming incredibly frugal, 49 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 2: or even the opposite, actually becoming quite squndalous and trying 50 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 2: to keep up with the joneses. 51 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: Oh wow, that which there makes a problem so much worse, right. 52 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 2: Exactly just compounds. And then a classic one that I 53 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 2: see quite a bit is people avoiding social situations, so 54 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 2: they'll pull out last minute, or they'll perhaps turn up late, 55 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: So turn up late to the restaurant so that you 56 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: know when everyone's finishing their meal, or just having dessert, 57 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 2: so that they only order a dessert. Oh, they'll say, oh, look, 58 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 2: I'm going to drive, so I'm not drinking at the moment, 59 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 2: which obviously is responsible and there's nothing wrong with that, 60 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: but they will sort of delicately tiptoe around the problem 61 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: at heart. And then obviously things like having to always 62 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 2: borrow money, so asking for small loans out of the blue, 63 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: and you're seeing that happening maybe on a regular basis, 64 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 2: or you see them using their credit card to buy 65 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: things all the time that you know isn't necessarily within 66 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 2: their budget, or always using buy now, pay later. And 67 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 2: then there's also the physical appearance, so this the look 68 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: of stress and anxiety. You can actually sometimes see that 69 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 2: in people's face. They just look worried, they look worn out, 70 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: they look stressed, and you know they might be quite 71 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: short fused. They could be you know, looking like they're 72 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: stressed about bills, or they could be quite irritable, and 73 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: you know, this is one of the things about bearing 74 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: their head in the sand. And then of course skipping payments, 75 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: so completely ignoring any of their financial responsibilities or obligations. 76 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: There's a lot in all of that, but it's actually 77 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: that's really quite heartbreaking, isn't it a particularly I think 78 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: the one where they change their behavior where someone is 79 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: they're pulling out of they're not seeing their friends because 80 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: they can't afford to spend money, or they turn up 81 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: late to things to avoid kind of the meal or 82 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: not drinking that it almost feels quite shameful exactly. 83 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: And there's nothing wrong with saying, look, I'm want to 84 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: type bart it or we've hit with an expense. And 85 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 2: that's the other thing to point out. Because someone's in 86 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: trouble financially, people should never assume it's because of something 87 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: they've done that's their own fault. Sometimes it's just a 88 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 2: bit of just unfortunate bad luck. 89 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: I remember doing that once when this is a few 90 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: years ago, and meeting up with a group of friends 91 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: and the suggestion had been made, I will go to 92 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: this restaurant, and I know it was a very very 93 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: very expensive restaurant, and I actually messaged them separately and 94 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: I was thought, you know what, I'm not going to 95 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: kind of pull out or hide. I said, look, at 96 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: the moment, I can't afford it. Things are just a 97 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: little bit tight. At the moment, I said, I just 98 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: don't have it in the budget to go to this restaurant, 99 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: knowing that it would be a couple one hundred dollars 100 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: per person to go to this place, and I just said, look, 101 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: I can't afford it right now. And that person was 102 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: like entirely accommodating. They said, actually, you're right, it is 103 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: a lot of money, and no one has kind of 104 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: spare money at the moment. Let's find somewhere else and 105 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: we did. Great, you broke the ice. Yeah, absolutely, And 106 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: I was just like, and I think that more than anything, 107 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: just told me that in so many cases, honesty is 108 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: actually the best policy and people will understand. If you 109 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: are honest, you. 110 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 2: Create a safe space for other people. Then to step 111 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: up and say, actually, you know what, I'm the same 112 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: boat and this is an expensive restaurant. Maybe it's something 113 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 2: that should be held off for a special occasion only. 114 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: Perhaps, Yeah, okay, so that's like, these are the signs. 115 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: These are the warning signs. If you see this happening, 116 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: what are you saying to them? And perhaps not kind 117 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: of just coming out and saying it, what are you 118 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: saying to them? Are you actually broaching the topic with them? 119 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 2: Look, you've got to start with empathy and something nice, 120 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: you know, complete and absolute care and compassion. And remember 121 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 2: what is your objective here? It is to help that 122 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 2: particular person. So instead of saying, hey, I noticed you 123 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 2: look stressed and you're struggling right now, or you can't 124 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 2: afford to pay that, perhaps something that's more gentle, like, hey, 125 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 2: I've been thinking about you, like how are things going, 126 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: or when you know that you're about to see someone, 127 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 2: send a message and say, hey, I'm so excited about 128 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: seeing Hey, I'm so excited about knowing that we're going 129 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 2: to catch up and see each other. You know, I 130 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: can't wait to hear what you've been up to. So 131 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 2: you really make that person feel safe and secure and 132 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 2: most importantly respected, So you know, perhaps you start to 133 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 2: share your own experiences where there was a moment in 134 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 2: your life where you were facing financial stress before, so 135 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 2: you can make it really safe, in a non judgmental 136 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 2: space for that person to open up and feel less alone. 137 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 2: And the other thing I would suggest is asking open 138 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 2: ended questions rather than just bombarding someone with advice, So 139 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 2: things like you know, what can I do to help 140 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: you right now? Or is there anything that you can 141 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 2: think of that would actually help reduce the stress for 142 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 2: you instead of saying you should do this, or you 143 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 2: must do that, or you need to do that. You know, 144 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: this is where you can just come with a completely 145 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 2: different I guess energy and just come from a really kind, compassionate, 146 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: understanding place so that person does feel safe and they 147 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 2: feel safe to open up and to download. 148 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: So really it's about not making them feel judged. It 149 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: is about not making them feel embarrassed about it. It 150 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: is making them feel like they have got someone that 151 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: they can confide in exactly okay. 152 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 2: And also listen, you know some people, some women, maybe 153 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 2: they just need to like vent or download and they 154 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: don't actually want a solution because they're already working on 155 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 2: fixing the problem themselves. They just want to be able 156 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 2: to share what's going on and how they're feeling and 157 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 2: how it's impacting them right now, so they're not actually 158 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 2: asking for help necessarily. And another great question I think 159 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 2: is really important is to ask them what are they 160 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 2: doing to help themselves? You know, if they want any 161 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 2: other ideas or tips or tricks that they might have 162 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 2: themselves that could help that person get through this situation, because, 163 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 2: as I said, sometimes in situations, people need to figure 164 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: things out themselves. And you know, it sounds harsh, but 165 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 2: that's when you figure things out yourself, that's sometimes where 166 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 2: the best growth and you learn and gain the most 167 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 2: amoutter of wisdom and you don't repeat that pattern again. 168 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 2: So sometimes part of helping is actually stepping back and 169 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 2: supporting them from the sidelines. 170 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: Okay, should you always try to help? Like? Should you? 171 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 2: Like? 172 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 1: I know that that is kind of helping but stepping 173 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: back right and making them know that the support is 174 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: there if they need it, but also just kind of 175 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 1: standing back and allowing someone perhaps to kind of work 176 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: their own way through it. But should you always do 177 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: something or are there circumstances perhaps where it's just best 178 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: to stay. 179 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 2: Out of it? Okay? 180 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: This is and look, I know this is actually quite 181 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: a delicate and tricky. 182 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 2: One because what I face all the time with people 183 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 2: around me, because obviously I'm a financial planner, and I 184 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 2: can sit and see things, you know, professionally and personally, 185 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 2: and I have to pick and choose when I you know, 186 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 2: if it's appropriate for me to say something or not 187 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 2: at all. But look, this is my from personal experience 188 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 2: and professional experience. I really believe that you can't actually 189 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 2: help someone who isn't willing to help themselves, because there 190 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 2: are sometimes people in different phases of their lives that 191 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: actually like to stay in a place where they are 192 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 2: a victim. Being a victim feels comfortable, they don't know 193 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 2: anything else but that, however, that definitely does not mean 194 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: you don't support or encourage them or even disrespect them 195 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 2: in any way whatsoever. Everyone has their own personal wake 196 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 2: up call, and sometimes your rock bottom where you think 197 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 2: all right, enough's enough is very different to what that 198 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 2: other person's rock bottom is where enough's enough, And that 199 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 2: moment will come, but it will come at the time 200 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 2: that's right for that person, and so you definitely can't 201 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: be necessary that person that pulls them out all the 202 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 2: time because then become codependent. But you can definitely be 203 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 2: the person that, as I said, sits on the sidelines 204 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 2: and is the first person to cheer them the moment 205 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 2: that time has come where they go all right, I 206 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 2: get what you've been saying, enough's enough. I can't live 207 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 2: my life like this. I deserve better. I'm willing to 208 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 2: do the work and help myself. Can you now help me? 209 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: So we really need to respect that time, depending obviously 210 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 2: how serious it is. 211 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: Okay, so there's clearly no kind of one set solution 212 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: here is basing it entirely on the relationship that you 213 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: have with that person, the details of their circumstances, how 214 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: open they seem to be to receiving help, and just 215 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: what you know about them as to what their personality 216 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: is like and how much they will need from someone 217 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: else and how much they're capable of doing themselves. How 218 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: then do you make sure that your offer of support 219 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: if you are talking to them, is actually practical rather 220 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: than just well meaning, Because the well meaning side of 221 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: it is good just for them to know that you're there, right, 222 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: but how do you actually physically help, physically help when 223 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: it's you don't just want it to be kind of 224 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: empty platitudes like oh it'll get better or yeah, you're 225 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: you're okay, you've got this, like it's nice, but it's 226 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 1: not going to actually do anything, right. 227 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 2: Of course, So obviously there's practical things, so you can 228 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 2: help to do a budget, say to that person, look, 229 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 2: why don't we sit down together and do your budget? 230 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 2: Or why didn't I come with you to see a 231 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 2: financial counselor so that you've actually doing the work with them, 232 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: holding their hand along the way. 233 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: And that kind of helps in a number of ways. 234 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: If you offer to go and see someone with them, 235 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: they've got emotional support, they've got kind of someone almost 236 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: holding them accountable in a way, kind of making sure 237 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: that they get there and don't cancel that kind of 238 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: appointment at the last minute. That would be a very 239 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: very kind of powerful thing to do. 240 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: And also you've got another set of ears in the room. Yeah, 241 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 2: because you know the counselor or you know that budgeting experience. 242 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 2: There might be a tip that gets missed my person 243 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 2: who needs to help the most, and then they can 244 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: gently remind them, Hey, don't forget that. You know that 245 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 2: counselor said, this is very common. You know this is 246 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 2: a great strategy to use. So it is again it's 247 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: coming back to that place of care and compassion. But 248 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 2: obviously you've got to be mindful not overstepping the mark. 249 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 2: Obviously you can't be giving superannuation advice to someone who's 250 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 2: really stress about retirement. You need to understand Thay, that's 251 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 2: probably where a professional steps in and you're offering guidance here, 252 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 2: not control. So you don't want to be taking over 253 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 2: their finances for multiple reasons. But this is all about 254 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: helping them help themselves as well and having boundaries in place. 255 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 2: You know, when they're ready to talk, your talk. But 256 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 2: if you get to a point where they're exhausted emotionally, mentally, 257 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 2: even financially, that you know, okay, all right, we're going 258 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 2: to park this conversation for a while, and a big 259 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 2: one I would say here as well, from a practical 260 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 2: point of view, is protecting yourself. 261 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: I want to get to that in the moment as 262 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: well about kind of how you make sure those boundaries 263 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: are in place to protect you as well, and also 264 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: to talk about what happens if the person that you're 265 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: speaking with, that you have identified as needing some help 266 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: is resistant to help and you're worried that their situation 267 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: is just going to get worse and worse and potentially 268 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: they are at risk. So there's still a bit to cover. 269 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: We'll take a quick break and come back with more. 270 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: Can We are talking about how to help somebody who 271 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: is in trouble, in financial trouble, and we talked about 272 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: the importance of approaching it from a really supportive place, 273 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: that it is all about having empathy and it is 274 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: about making sure that person doesn't feel judged and just 275 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: feel supported. What happens though, if they don't want help, 276 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: or if they deny that they are having issues, because 277 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: there is an element of embarrassment absolutely in this. What 278 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: if they deny that there's a problem, do you just 279 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: drop it or what's. 280 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 2: Worth you try and help them and they throw it 281 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 2: back in your face. Well, they don't actually follow what 282 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 2: you shouldes did it all and go down a completely 283 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 2: different path that actually causes more damage. Yes, look, it 284 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 2: is really hard, and this is where you've got to 285 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 2: protect yourself. I had a recent situation where someone very 286 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 2: close to me was in a lot of financial trouble 287 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 2: and they came to me and confided to me, And 288 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 2: you know, I spent hours going through a list of 289 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 2: all the different things they could do to help fix 290 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 2: the situation, and did the budget with them, did some 291 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 2: goals with them to spoke about their mindset. And I 292 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 2: spent hours and hours and hours, and I pulled all 293 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 2: these special strings for this particular person so that they 294 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 2: had this opportunity to make some extra cash and quite 295 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 2: a bit of extra cash. And they did all those things, 296 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 2: but then they went and bought a whole new wardrobe 297 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 2: with all that money instead of actually dealing with the 298 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 2: actual heart of the financial problem. Now, that was really hard. 299 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: There was such a mix of emotions there. I was angry, 300 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 2: I was frustrated, I felt disrespected. Then I felt really 301 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 2: sad because I could see this situation that was the 302 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 2: exact problem at the first place as to why this 303 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 2: person was in this situation. So you've got to know 304 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 2: when to pull back and when to say, all right, 305 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 2: I'm not of any help here. This person hasn't actually 306 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 2: reached their rock bottom. So this is where you really 307 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 2: need to respect their decision, keep the door open, let 308 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 2: them know that you are still there to help. But 309 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 2: you also just need to move on with your life. 310 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 2: And you know, I really think there's a lot of 311 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 2: power in leading by example. You don't necessarily need to 312 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: say you should do this, or I said this is 313 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 2: a great idea. You can sometimes you know, silence and success. 314 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: You just get on and do your thing and mention now, yes, 315 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 2: you know, I'm working on this financial goal right now, 316 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 2: or I've managed to save up this much money so far, 317 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 2: or I've finally paid off that credit card. Just lead 318 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 2: by example, and you just peppering did all the things 319 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 2: that you've managed to do and how it feels, and 320 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 2: just talk about that and just lead by example. Over time, 321 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 2: that person may wake up, but you can't help everyone. 322 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 2: And that's what I've really had to realize as well, 323 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 2: as a financial planner who's so passionate about financial illness. 324 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: Onto a rather to his situation now, and that is 325 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: family helping family or really close friends. Are there circumstances 326 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: where you would ever give or lend money to people 327 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: in order to help them through a situation or is 328 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: this just too kind of high risk that you can 329 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: end up kind of getting dragged into their financial mess 330 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: as well. And I suppose if you do do it, 331 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: how do you do it in a way that protects 332 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: you again putting up these boundaries and trying to protect 333 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: your own situation while helping them. 334 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 2: Personally, I would always help someone I cut and Tom 335 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 2: and I both like that, and we've actually agreed that 336 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 2: there are certain people in our lives that we will 337 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 2: always find a way to help them if it got 338 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: to that situation. And so if you do decide to 339 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: do it, there are a couple of I guess agreed 340 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 2: rules that you must have in place beforehand. Is Number 341 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 2: one is you never lend more money than you can't 342 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 2: afford to lose. So if you almost need to expect 343 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 2: you're not going to get that back, and if you do, 344 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: that's wonderful. The other thing is, obviously, if you're in 345 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 2: a relationship, if you've got to check with your partner 346 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 2: that you're both on the same page, and you agree 347 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 2: on the limit, you reagree on the terms, and that 348 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 2: there are no more loans beyond that particular point. So 349 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 2: there are some firm boundaries that you've communicated upfront and 350 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 2: you've communicated to that particular person. If you lend money, 351 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 2: also consider getting it written down to avoid any misunderstandings 352 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 2: as to you know, whether there's interest paid, or whether 353 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 2: how long that money has to be paid back, or 354 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 2: you know whether it can be paid in certain chunks perhaps. 355 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: And to make it abundantly clear that it is in 356 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: fact alone and not. 357 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 2: A gift exactly. And at the end of the day, 358 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 2: if you can't lend it, because it's going to put 359 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 2: you at financial jeopardy, explain that back to the person 360 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 2: to say, look, I would love to help you, but 361 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 2: we're actually in a really tight situation ourselves. So by 362 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 2: us helping you out, we're actually going to be you know, 363 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 2: it's going to mean that we're going to default on 364 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 2: this and that, and then that's going to happen, you know, 365 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 2: certain repercussions. But also never forget you know, you can 366 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 2: help someone not necessarily by throwing money at the problem. 367 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 2: You know, it's that non monetary help can sometimes actually 368 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 2: be of greater value, you know, connecting them with resources 369 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 2: like the National Deadline or for example, you know CBA's 370 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 2: Next Chapter program, which is amazing for people who are 371 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 2: suffering from you know, financial abuse. So there are lots 372 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 2: of different ways you can actually help people without giving 373 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,959 Speaker 2: them money. And you know, like I know for times 374 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 2: in my lives where my friends have sent each other 375 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 2: quotes or funny means to help improve their mood as 376 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 2: they're going through a particular challenging time. You know, you 377 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 2: can't pour from an empty cup, So remember that, so 378 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 2: that you have that firm boundary for your own protection 379 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 2: when it comes to helping people. 380 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: And I suppose if the person who is approaching you 381 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: is a family member, it does add a certain emotional 382 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: element to it, Yeah, which you again need to navigate carefully. 383 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 2: Right, you feel so much more obliged to help a 384 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 2: family member, Well, I certainly do think most a friend. 385 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. And so in terms of then of you mentioned 386 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: a couple of resources there, and it's probably a good 387 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: place to kind of finish up where people can get 388 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: help if they need to. And so I'll just get 389 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: you to mention those ones again. But also, is it 390 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: just a case of providing these details to someone who 391 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: needs help, or is it kind of How do you 392 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: encourage someone to seek professional advice knowing that a professional 393 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: is unless you are the person that they're approaching for help, 394 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: a professional is probably always going to be able to 395 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: give better advice than say, regular person. Right, how do 396 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: you get them to get that professional advice without them 397 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: feeling pressured? 398 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 2: Well, this is the problem if they're not ready to 399 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 2: get help themselves. I mean, you can take a horse 400 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 2: to the water, but you can't make it drink. So 401 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 2: you need to respect they may have not actually hit 402 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 2: that moment where they go all right, this is my 403 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 2: rock bottom. Enough, so enough, I'm going to rebuild from here. 404 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 2: That moment may just have not come yet, may in 405 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 2: fact never come at all, and they'll just continue on 406 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 2: living this life. Now, we need to respect that's someone's decision. 407 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 2: They have a choice themselves. And I come back to this, 408 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 2: I've helped so many people who have then self destructed. 409 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: Again. 410 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 2: People need to learn how to help themselves, and it 411 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 2: is the best way to learn most of the time, 412 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 2: not all the time, but most of the time. So 413 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 2: you know, you've got to have your hand on your heart. 414 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 2: So you've got to nowhere to support, where to listen, 415 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 2: where to show compassion, where to step in, and of 416 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 2: course where to just step out and sit patiently on 417 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 2: the sideline. So you are the first person to cheer them, 418 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 2: support them and encourage them the moment they say, you 419 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 2: know what, I'm ready to help myself. 420 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: Okay. So those resources. The National Debt Helpline is a 421 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: great one, great to start with and look, the easiest 422 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: way to get in touch there is to go to 423 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: the website NDH dot org dot au. If you just 424 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: google National Debt Helpline it'll come up. But there are 425 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: other resources like so many next next Chapter, through Combank 426 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: and others. 427 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: A lot of the churches have free financial counseling as well, 428 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 2: so there are lots of people out there who are 429 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 2: willing to help you for free. And of course then 430 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 2: you've got great podcasts like this one. 431 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you've got books. 432 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 2: You can get from the library. There are lots of 433 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 2: online courses you can do. There are so many things 434 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 2: out there that are for free. They give you some 435 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 2: really great financial literacy to help you get out of 436 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 2: the situation. You're in, or help that person get up 437 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 2: the situation they're in. 438 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, in terms of the kind of formal ones like 439 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: the dead help line and those will put a few 440 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: links in the show notes as well. Serious topic today, 441 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: wasn't it? 442 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 2: It was? But it's an important one. 443 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: I think so, And I think everyone will have experienced 444 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: this at some point, have identified somebody in their life 445 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,239 Speaker 1: who is going through Look, and let's face it, there 446 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,479 Speaker 1: are a lot of people going through financial trouble at 447 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: the moment because everything is just so expensive. So hopefully 448 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: there is something in here in terms of those signs 449 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: to watch for, the things to watch out for, and 450 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,479 Speaker 1: even that very basic principle of help them do it 451 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: from a place of compassion and empathy and not judgment 452 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: and use those professional resources as the backup. And I 453 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: reallyzed what you said about kind of leading by example 454 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: as well, just kind of demonstrating kind of what you're 455 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: doing and people will observe that and it might be 456 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: a more kind of tactful way or delicate way of 457 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: kind of navigating through.
