And then I also do like gig reviews, 50 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 4: so every time I go to a show, I do 51 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 4: a little review about it in my journal.

So I 54 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 4: think tying it to events like that has made it 55 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 4: more manageable for me, whereas I know other people prefer 56 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 4: to be like and today's prompt is pink. 57 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 3: And orange, and then they'll like collect all things that 58 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 3: are pink and orange and make a spread like that. 59 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 4: And then I try to do it also every Sunday 60 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 4: when I'm watching the footy, and that's like my little 61 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 4: anchor thing on like a Sunday avo. 62 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 3: I put the footy on and I journal at the 63 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 3: same time. 64 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: So cue I can't wait to see it. 65 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 3: Yes, you make a feature quite a few. 66 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: Spreads, Yes, as I should naturally obviously.

Okay. 97 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 2: So by this, I am talking about buy now, Pay later, 98 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 2: so and the recent marketing would we call it recent, 99 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: but the marketing that's very specifically aimed at women and 100 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 2: this idea that. 101 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: You can have cute debt. 102 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Right, So there was a recent advertisement from 103 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 2: a buy now, Pay later service that literally read. 104 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: Little payments are so much cuter. Yeah. 105 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have another one from Klana which read brains 106 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 2: are pink. Klana is pink. Brains are smart. Klana is smart. 107 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 3: Okay. 108 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 2: And according to a twenty twenty four study from the 109 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 2: Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, on average, men have more 110 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: total debt than women, but women are a huge sixty 111 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 2: eight percent. 112 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: More likely to use installment payment services. 113 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. I can see that. 114 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, because does that debt include things like mortgages? Because 115 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 4: if that was the case, then I wouldn't be surprised 116 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 4: that men would have have more decks. They have probably 117 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 4: more access to apply and get alone, Yeah for something 118 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 4: like that. Whereas yeah, those sorts of services are targeted 119 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 4: at women. 120 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: Well that's what I mean. 121 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 2: I think that statistic just supports the fact that, like, 122 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: women are being targeted. However, this messaging that by now 123 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,239 Speaker 2: pay later is for the girls isn't just coming from 124 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: the brands themselves, It's coming from inside the house. 125 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 4: Ah. 126 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: You know, I saw a TikTok this week from a 127 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 2: creator who I'm not going to say a name or 128 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 2: anything because I don't want it to seem like I'm 129 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 2: piling on. 130 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 3: But there are some. 131 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 2: Quotes in it that I just think of fueling this 132 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 2: idea that debt is cutesy and little and for the girls. 133 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: Like literally, the statement was after pays for the girlies. 134 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 2: And so here's some quotes, and it said, I'm not 135 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 2: someone who after pays things that I couldn't pay in full. 136 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: So the video starts with that, followed by being someone 137 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 2: with a raging shopping addiction. 138 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: It makes me feel better about the money I'm spending. 139 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: Ooh uh huh. 140 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 2: The creator goes on to explain, I placed a Sephora 141 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: order and it was one hundred and seventy dollars. You know, 142 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 2: how much better I felt about myself financially knowing that 143 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: I was paying forty three dollars today and opposed to 144 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy dollars today. My shelves are full 145 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: of makeup. I can't justify spending more money on makeup. 146 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 2: But hey, it's only forty three dollars. 147 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: Now. 148 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: I'm not sharing this to sit on a high horse 149 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 2: and be like boo bad. I'm sharing that because that 150 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: was exactly how I used to think about it too. 151 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: That's exactly how I think it was ingrained. 152 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 5: And I've absolutely made the joke of being like it's 153 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 5: after paid, so it's free, exactly, and like I've made 154 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 5: the mistake of thinking about it like that, of looking 155 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 5: at purchases using buy now pay lad services and thinking 156 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 5: it's only the first payment, that the three other payments 157 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 5: they don't exist. 158 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're just they. 159 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: They're in the future at some time and I can't 160 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: see them, so they don't exist. 161 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's where I think this whole narrative just 162 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: becomes quite dangerous and a slippery slope. But then the 163 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: other part of why I think this is kind of 164 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 2: giving scam vibes is just like the misinformation and the 165 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: smoke and mirrors. And we recently this year spoke about 166 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 2: how you know the rules and regulations and how artope 167 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 2: affects your credit score are changing. 168 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: But I don't. I still don't think people know that enough. 169 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 4: No, I don't think so, because it's if you like 170 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 4: default on your payments and you can't pay it back, 171 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 4: it can have an impact on your credit score, which 172 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 4: of course is like the worst case scenario. And I 173 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 4: think that it is like a good thing really that 174 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 4: they're rolling these things out, that it's more regulated. 175 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: It also affects your chances of getting a home loan. 176 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's also encouraging like reckless spending if you're 177 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 4: thinking about it, that it makes you feel less guilt 178 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 4: about making a purchase.
