My man, Hello, 390 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 3: two of us are sitting right here. As we discussed 391 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 3: in last week's episode, recent data from the Australian Institute 392 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 3: tells us the average Australian woman is buying more than 393 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 3: fifty six clothing items a year, surpassing US shoppers to 394 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 3: become the biggest fashion consumers in the. 395 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 2: World, which is wild. 396 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: According to CBI is Luxually Retail Report, they showed that 397 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 1: luxury retail trade in Australia reached a record of six 398 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 1: point two billion in twenty twenty three, with four hundred 399 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: and eighty three retailers, including both international and domestic brands, 400 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: operating nationally. The increase in luxury spending has been attributed 401 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: to the return of international tourism post COVID and a 402 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: growing number of millennial and Gen Z consumers with an 403 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: appetite for luxury brands. 404 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you can see that as well, Like even. 405 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: Just like seeing younger generations, how they have become quite 406 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: more focused on branding.

But aside from that, people definitely weren't sporting, yeah, 424 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 3: like designer handbags, at least not in the circles I 425 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 3: ran in. 426 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I also think you there's a lot of 427 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: conversation online as well about how like the affordable brands 428 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 1: aren't so affordable anymore. Like if you look at you know, 429 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: Cookeye their pricing, which typically you'd be like, that's so expensive, 430 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: that's so expensive, isn't actually that far off? What like 431 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: the fast fashion brands are now? Yeah, if you look 432 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: at the pricing of Cottonon or Meshki or Princess Poly, 433 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: like it's starting to get up there that it's like 434 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: the low tier range is more of a mid tier now, 435 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: And it's that inflation of everything getting more and more expensive. 436 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: So when everything feels expensive, what's actually worth it? Yeah, 437 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: and that's what we're going to get into. Now. You 438 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: like that, you like that little like that kind of 439 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: a all right, so tell me we've got two picks each. 440 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 1: What is your number one expensive. 441 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 2: Shit that's worth it? 442 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 3: My number one is anything that goes between you and 443 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 3: the ground. 444 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,959 Speaker 1: I love this. So there's that popular saying that is 445 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: you should never skimp on anything that separates from you 446 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: and the ground. 447 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 2: Right, what does it mean? Yeah, you're talking about aka 448 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 2: invest in. 449 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 3: High quality, durable goods that you'll use frequently that literally 450 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 3: support you if you think about it. Literally, that's like shoes, furniture, mattresses, 451 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 3: office chair, tires. 452 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: Couch, like the things that literally separate you. 453 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 2: So jinx, Yeah me coke? 454 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: What do I eat?

Yeah? 456 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 3: So I want to dive into just a couple of 457 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 3: them because there's so many examples that you could say. 458 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: But shoes, obviously, the quality of your shoes. 459 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 3: Is so important for your overall health, but especially like 460 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 3: your feet, your joints, and your spine. And this was 461 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 3: something I never cared about or thought about in my 462 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 3: early twenties. 463 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 2: It's the frontal lobe development. 464 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're going, should I get the orthopedic shoes? Like? 465 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 2: Do I need to get the inner soul? Yeah? But 466 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 2: I guess it's also thinking about. 467 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 3: Like the purpose of your shoes, you know, like there 468 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 3: are different factors and things that you can you should 469 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 3: consider if you're thinking of like a shoe that you're 470 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 3: going to wear on a night out. 471 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: Versus your every day first boot, or a shoes or thong, 472 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: or the shoes and flip flaps, or they're like, why 473 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: do I need to invest in my lacy underwear? 474 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 3: You sure, actually, or like you're running shoes and the 475 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 3: shoes that you wear to the gym. For me, I 476 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 3: really do value investing in good quality leather boots. I agree, 477 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 3: because I did buy pleathor for a long time in 478 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 3: my early twenties because one like the ethics of it, 479 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 3: but also I was thinking, like I didn't have the 480 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 3: money to pay for the upfront cost at the time, 481 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 3: and I thought it was the more affordable option at 482 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 3: the time, right. But really, when you think about it, 483 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 3: like a pleathor pair of shoes will show wear and 484 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 3: tear sometimes within the first year of owning them, and 485 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 3: in my experience, they usually only lasted at about one 486 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 3: to two years until you know, even like the heel 487 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 3: started separating from from the shoe, or the pleathor started 488 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 3: to peel, whereas a pair of leather shoes, especially if 489 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 3: you do take care of them, can last like twenty 490 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 3: to fifty years, sometimes even longer. Like my mom has 491 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 3: Doc Martin boots that literally precede me, and she still. 492 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: Wears her firstborn Yeah. 493 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's also because she does take care of them, 494 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,719 Speaker 3: you know, like she uses a leather conditioner and she 495 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 3: cleans them and she'd get them resold and stuff like that. 496 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: But by investing in a pair of shoes like that, 497 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: like they can actually last a lifetime. And then running 498 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: or exercise shoes, you do typically have to replace those, yeah, 499 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: more often, especially depending on like the type of exercise 500 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: that you're doing and how often you're using them. So 501 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: but it is still something that I do think you 502 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: should invest in, both like the time and money to 503 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: find the right shoe because it's so so individual in 504 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: terms of a running shoes or exercise shoes, because it's 505 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: such a high impact like task or experience that you 506 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: if you don't have the right support or right structure 507 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: like that can actually have you know, that can affect 508 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: your health exactly. And the best part is that you 509 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: can actually go to athletes foot and do the weird 510 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: fucking test thing yea, which is so fun. If anyone's 511 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: not from Australia. Wait, no, they have athletes footever, yeah 512 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: yeah when they do that, so or like full locker 513 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: when they do the walk is it foot look, No, 514 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: it's athletes for that does it? And you do the 515 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: walk test and you like walk on that little weird 516 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: pad and they like track it and then when they 517 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: put your foot in that little metal thing, why does 518 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:42,719 Speaker 1: that feel? So? 519 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 2: Feels good? 520 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: So you get to go in and do that really 521 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,479 Speaker 1: fun test, yeah, and find something that works for you 522 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: because everyone has different feet, Yeah exactly. 523 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 3: And I think like the cost per ware as well, 524 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 3: like that sort of stuff that you would be factoring 525 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 3: in does need to be different depending on the type 526 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 3: of sh because, like you said, when you're doing high 527 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 3: impact activity that genuinely could injure you, it is important 528 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 3: even if the shoes are only going to last you 529 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 3: a year or two versus a good pair of boots 530 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 3: which could last you ten plus years. Furniture is another 531 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 3: thing that I definitely would say is worth investing in. 532 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 3: For example, solid hardwood furniture is obviously typically more expensive, 533 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 3: but it also can last ten to fifty plus years, 534 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 3: whereas veneer wood furniture only lasts like five to ten 535 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 3: and yes it is expensive, but you can also shop 536 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 3: hardwood furniture for pretty affordably secondhand. 537 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. 538 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 3: And then of course mattresses, pillows, embedding. I mean, this 539 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 3: is our Roman empire till I will die on. 540 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: Yeah. 541 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 3: But research shows that pillow height and firmness actually two 542 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 3: of the strongest predictors of sleep quality and the development 543 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 3: or avoidness of sleep problems. 544 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: Ow. 545 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and over a lifetime, you spend about. 546 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,239 Speaker 3: One third of your life or twenty six years on 547 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 3: your mattress, So we probably spent we probably spill off. 548 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 3: Yeah that's too cozy, sleepy girlies. Yeah, so it's important. 549 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 2: One hundred percent. 550 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: I think investing in good quality bedding and a bed 551 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 1: is the best investment you could ever make in your 552 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:24,719 Speaker 1: entire life. Like, I just love crawling into bed and 553 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: being like done, like that scene in the Simpsons where 554 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: it's like I'm just a tosty, warm cinnamon. 555 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 2: But the best feeling. If you don't get that feeling 556 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 2: in your bed, your bed is not betting. 557 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, your bed needs to bed. Some like amazing brands 558 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: that I really love for that is Pillow Talk has 559 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: a sale, bed bath and table has a sale. You 560 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: should never ever ever pay full price on bedding. It's expensive, 561 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: but you should never pay for price because it's one 562 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: of the categories that I would say goes on sale 563 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: the most. Yeah, every sale event, every sale. 564 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 2: Event, you can get it. 565 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: There are so many offers, and if you are the 566 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: sow that loves going like in store, go and test 567 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: the mattresses a lot of them. Have you know, one 568 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty nights sleep guarantees and all of those 569 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: warranties that it's like you're not locked into something. So 570 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: I one thousand percent bouch for that. I also love 571 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: a mattress topper. Oh same, ten out of ten. 572 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's another way to like extend the lifetime of 573 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 3: your mattresses as well. 574 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right. My first pick is experiences. 575 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, so we actually pulled the chicks for this and 576 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: we said would you rather spend money on luxury experiences 577 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: or luxury items? And overwhelmingly over eighty percent of the 578 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: chicks said they would rather spend it on experiences. And 579 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: I was pleasantly surprised by this, and I also am 580 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: not necessarily shocked either. Yeah, because the luxury experiences. Luxury 581 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: items promise like a feeling, whereas luxury experiences. 582 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 2: Create them and they create the memories. 583 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: And it comes down to what I've coined the core 584 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: memory theory, and it's the most valuable purchases are the 585 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: ones that turn into the stories you tell for the 586 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: next decade. So there have been multiple studies in consumer 587 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: psychology where people consistently report greater happiness from experiential purchases 588 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: like travel, dinners, concerts, or events, then material possessions such 589 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: as clothing, jewelry, or gadgets. 590 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 2: And the reason why is where it gets really really interesting, 591 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 2: and it's because. 592 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: Your brain gets bored, yeah mood. Right, So there's a 593 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: psychological phenomenon called hedenic adaptation. 594 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 2: Yeah again, into it, I love it, Yeah, unlocked in. 595 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: So it's the brain's tendency to quickly normalize whatever you acquire. 596 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: The designer bag that felt thrilling in store eventually becomes 597 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: just your bag, right. 598 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 2: And isn't this kidding this? 599 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: There was a couple things in my mind that when 600 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: I heard this, I was like, shit, I can probably think. 601 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 2: Of a couple purchases where that checks it. 602 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, And experiences don't actually suffer from this in the 603 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: same way. Research shows people adapt much more slowly to 604 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: experiential purchases, meaning the emotional payoff lasts longer. Would you 605 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: agree Yeah, Oh my god, would you agree yours? 606 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 3: Yet there's very few purchases that I feel like still 607 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 3: give me that same feeling as when I first wought it, yeah, 608 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 3: whereas I can. 609 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 2: I think almost every experience that I've spent money on, 610 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh god, that was good. Yeah. 611 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: So experiences create memory capital, and psychologists sometimes call the 612 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: value of experiences memory capital, aka emotional assets you can 613 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: revisit long after the event ends. A handbag exists in 614 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: the presence. But experience purchases exist in three parts. So 615 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: number one anticipation oh yeah, planning the trip, planning, buying 616 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: the tickets, being in the ticket Master que and being like. 617 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 2: Oh my god, what did we see Harry? 618 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: And adrenaline like yeah, booking the dinner, And the anticipation 619 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: of oh, I'm going to this concert on Saturday.

Yeah, which for the zipline. 625 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 2: Did that? God, that was fun. 626 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like that's so not like on brand for us, 627 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: because we wanted to do the horse riding and we couldn't. 628 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's why we went and did the zipline. 629 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 2: It was really fun. It was really fun. 630 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: And then at one point the guy was asking everyone 631 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: because there was like a double zipline, and then he 632 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: asked everyone to think of a team name. And I 633 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: was panicking because I really wanted to be funny. 634 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 2: And like one. 635 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: One little boy who was going down he was like ten. 636 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 2: Maybe it was eleven.

Number two is the moment itself, and then 667 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,479 Speaker 1: like the experiencing it, having that moment. And number three 668 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: exactly what we just did is the moment after it. 669 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: It's like the gift that keeps on giving, right, And 670 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: so the thing about the core memory theory is that 671 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,240 Speaker 1: not only do these experiences kind of continue to deliver 672 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: to your happiness, but they also deliver. 673 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 2: To your identity. 674 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's a lot of kind of conversation around 675 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: you know, personal style and taste and all of that stuff. 676 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: And another reason why experiences outperform possessions is that they 677 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 1: integrate into how. 678 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 2: We see ourselves. 679 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,879 Speaker 1: You don't become the handbag you bought, but you do 680 00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 1: become an identity based on whether you went backpacking through Asia, 681 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: or you know, the concerts that you go to in 682 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: the community you get from that, or the dinners that 683 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 1: you have with your girls every Taco Tuesday. Like, those 684 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: experiences form identity and weave themselves into a personal narrative 685 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:15,919 Speaker 1: in a way that. 686 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 2: Objects really can do. 687 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 1: And I think we sometimes rely a little bit, or 688 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: at least I have in the past on objects to 689 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: develop a sense of identity. And when aesthetics and trends 690 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: are constantly changing and we're basing ourselves on the new 691 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,399 Speaker 1: it girl every six months, where do you pull your 692 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,439 Speaker 1: identity from that? You know? Yeah, And so that's why 693 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: having experiences like traveling, or like going to concerts or 694 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: just going out for dinner, or like reading your favorite book. 695 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, or going to galleries or whatever. Yeah. 696 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I feel like so much of my identity 697 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,320 Speaker 1: comes from even just the experience of loving reading fantasy. 698 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: So like when I then shop, I love looking at 699 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: like Corsetts or really shirts or something because I'm like, 700 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: look at me. If they warriors six foot seven would 701 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: definitely steal me. 702 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 2: Please, I'm asking for me a friend. That one is 703 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,280 Speaker 2: a direct request. 704 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: Rob's like, well, fuck my drag about it. 705 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 2: And then last one not least, it's kind of what 706 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 2: I was just saying. 707 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 1: But the social factor, So experiences often involve other people, 708 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: whereas luxury items don't. Yeah, you know so psychologically, like 709 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 1: spending time and social connection is proven to make you 710 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 1: the happiest. So I think when you ask that question, right, 711 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 1: can money buy happiness? I think it depends how you 712 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: spend it. That's true because I think it can, but 713 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 1: it's not when it comes from an object, an object experiences. 714 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 1: I think money can buy happiness when you're spending it 715 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 1: on the right things, and that's experiences and connection and 716 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:00,720 Speaker 1: helping others and. 717 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 2: All of that. 718 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: And psychologically, the most valuable luxury is something else entirely, 719 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: but it's time, novelty, connection, and memory. Whereas objects just 720 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: live in your wardrobe, experiences live in your life. 721 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 2: Core memory building. 722 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: Yes, the core memory theory I love it trademark, it's 723 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: not really. 724 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 2: Someone probably already has it. There's like a full psychological 725 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 2: study on it. 726 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: And I'm over here like a little girl podcasting, like 727 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 1: now here is my very. 728 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 2: Very real research theory. Oh, I mean I like it 729 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 2: either way. 730 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay, sit down, next man, and 731 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: now let's go into the next plane. Oh, my next 732 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 1: pick is solid gold or silver jewelry. 733 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 2: Oh, this is actually something. 734 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 3: When this trend was coming up on my FYP, I 735 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,720 Speaker 3: did see a lot of other people saying and. 736 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 2: I was like, I do have to agree. 737 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 3: Obviously, most of us can't afford to have every single 738 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,320 Speaker 3: piece of our jewelry collection made up entirely of solid 739 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 3: gold pieces, especially when. 740 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: Like accessories are such like a chopped and change thing, 741 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: like totally. You know, I wear I like to wear 742 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: different earrings and I like to wear different rings, and 743 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: like it's something that is interchangeable. I think in style today, 744 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,319 Speaker 1: everyone's different. Some people might just have their core. They 745 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: put it on, they don't take it off. Yeah, but 746 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 1: when we do kind of interchange jewelry as much as 747 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: we do, it's maybe not something that you're going to 748 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 1: be spending the entire collection on that, depending on would 749 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 1: love to yeah, totally, Well, I am the exact same. 750 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: Like a lot, I would say the majority of my 751 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,240 Speaker 1: favorite pieces in my collection aren't made of solid gold, 752 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: because I do like to wear a lot of jewelry. 753 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 3: A lot of pieces are probably sit in that more 754 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 3: like costume jewelry category, pieces that are a little bit 755 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 3: more like whimsical and funky that you probably can't find 756 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 3: in solid gold. 757 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,120 Speaker 1: Or if you did, they literally a really whimsical and 758 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: funky yeah, pretty much, or would be like fuck off 759 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:05,919 Speaker 1: expensive to buy. 760 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 2: Right. 761 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,240 Speaker 1: However, I do think that it is also worth investing 762 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: in a few solid gold or silver pieces that you 763 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: will actually keep for your whole life.

I need to 995 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 1: get this thing done. 996 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,520 Speaker 3: Like I really should go get my prescription updated for 997 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:35,239 Speaker 3: my glasses, Like. 998 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,239 Speaker 1: Those are all the little and car is like ten 999 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 1: times more dangerous than getting on a plane, right, But 1000 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,160 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't have car insurance, yeah, you know, 1001 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,520 Speaker 1: and even contents insurance. So like if you look around 1002 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,040 Speaker 1: your apartment and go, I couldn't afford to replace all 1003 00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:53,520 Speaker 1: my staff. Maybe looking into that, there's also insurance that 1004 00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 1: you can get for your like employment pay that if 1005 00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,200 Speaker 1: for any reason you couldn't work, you can get insurance that. 1006 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:04,400 Speaker 1: So really just looking into what aligns with your lifestyle 1007 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 1: and how that works. I'm not saying you have to 1008 00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:07,920 Speaker 1: go out and run and get every single type of 1009 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,960 Speaker 1: endurance that possibly exists. Yeah, because that is when it 1010 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,400 Speaker 1: starts to get really really expensive. Yeah, but looking into it, 1011 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,160 Speaker 1: definitely go back and listen to that episode if this 1012 00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,759 Speaker 1: is like you're like, Okay, this is resonating. 1013 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, And because we do like a more of a 1014 00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,759 Speaker 3: deep dive on the Medicare Levey surcharge and like what 1015 00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:27,640 Speaker 3: that means and how it works, and because it is 1016 00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:31,839 Speaker 3: something that changes so sometimes like in the budget they'll 1017 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:35,239 Speaker 3: announce that they increase the percentage of the charge. So 1018 00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,080 Speaker 3: even if you're not earning one hundred and one thousand 1019 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,440 Speaker 3: dollars plus per year, now, it's something that could change 1020 00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,839 Speaker 3: with this year's budget or next year, like the next 1021 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:44,560 Speaker 3: financial year. 1022 00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:48,759 Speaker 1: Like it's something that's worth being aware of. Yeah, all right, 1023 00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:54,239 Speaker 1: shall we get into the Chicks's the Chicks's expensive shit 1024 00:51:54,960 --> 00:52:00,640 Speaker 1: they think is worth it?

Yeah, okay. 1028 00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:13,120 Speaker 2: For me skincare I think previously would have been a smash. 1029 00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:16,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think pass now because I'm learning so 1030 00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:21,000 Speaker 1: much more about like just as simple, like I'm just 1031 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,560 Speaker 1: in a simple skincare routine era right, there are definitely 1032 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:26,160 Speaker 1: this is going to be me with everythingle one.

Because also like going to a 1040 00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,359 Speaker 3: dirm and getting them to diagnose you and give you 1041 00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 3: like a rundown, like that would be an expensive upfront 1042 00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:53,319 Speaker 3: cost but absolutely worth it in the long run. 1043 00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:58,800 Speaker 1: On Yeah, perfume smash, I know that's I know that's 1044 00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:04,279 Speaker 1: like controversial, but and I only say this because my 1045 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:09,399 Speaker 1: all time favorite perfume that without fail I get ten 1046 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:14,200 Speaker 1: thousand compliments on is like two hundred dollars but at 1047 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:17,480 Speaker 1: last ages and it has a refill. But I literally 1048 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,120 Speaker 1: have worn it the last two days and I think 1049 00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:21,279 Speaker 1: eight people have asked me what I'm wearing. 1050 00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,719 Speaker 2: Every single time. Every time, like without fail. It's part 1051 00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:25,240 Speaker 2: of paradox. 1052 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,719 Speaker 1: By the way, everyone already like anyone. 1053 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:32,960 Speaker 3: Doesn't what about you, I would say smash as well, 1054 00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,440 Speaker 3: like that is something that I like to spend money 1055 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,880 Speaker 3: on and I have like my my favorites, my signature 1056 00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,680 Speaker 3: sent Yeah, and like you said at last Fever, Yeah, okay, 1057 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:44,840 Speaker 3: jeans pass. 1058 00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:50,880 Speaker 1: Oh see, I'm as smash, but I firmly believe you 1059 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,640 Speaker 1: should never pay full price jeans. So it's like smash 1060 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:59,640 Speaker 1: on the RP, but only ever buy them on t ail. 1061 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:04,960 Speaker 1: I agree, I would say, because that's expensive. Well, that's 1062 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,000 Speaker 1: what I'm thinking, because you can get some pairs of 1063 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,320 Speaker 1: jeans that are like three hundred plus dollars, you know 1064 00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:11,880 Speaker 1: what I mean, You've lost me. Whereas I have found 1065 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,200 Speaker 1: that some of my favorite jeans that I've been wearing 1066 00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 1: over the last year or two are from just Jeans 1067 00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 1: and Cotton one, and they're not necessarily cheap, I would say, 1068 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 1: but I. 1069 00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,359 Speaker 2: Do think that they sit on the more affordable end. 1070 00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,960 Speaker 1: And again, I would never buy them for price because 1071 00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,040 Speaker 1: I always do sales. And see, the thing is like 1072 00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:33,120 Speaker 1: Levi's and Wrangler, they always do sales for about forty 1073 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:41,360 Speaker 1: percent off or subie you know, so a delicate smash me. Okay, 1074 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:48,560 Speaker 1: wardrobe staple items hmmmm, this is a mix as well, 1075 00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,720 Speaker 1: because it really depends, I do think. 1076 00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:52,880 Speaker 2: But honestly, I would. 1077 00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:58,360 Speaker 1: Say I say smash because I think curating good quality, 1078 00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:02,399 Speaker 1: natural fiber wardrobe stapele that will stand the test of. 1079 00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 2: The wash definitely is worth it. 1080 00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:09,520 Speaker 1: I think too often like we get the cheap version 1081 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,640 Speaker 1: because it's like and it again, it does depend because like, 1082 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,520 Speaker 1: for example, a white singlet, like that's gonna get fucking thrashed. 1083 00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,839 Speaker 2: That's where my head was, like that's gonna go. 1084 00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:23,080 Speaker 1: But like a natural fiber black cardigan that's like wool 1085 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,000 Speaker 1: or cashme, like that's really good quality. But I think 1086 00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:27,839 Speaker 1: now and now we get more and more brands that 1087 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:32,960 Speaker 1: are focusing on building that really high quality of product, 1088 00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,880 Speaker 1: like unicloth. Yeah, you know where it is a little 1089 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:39,400 Speaker 1: bit more expensive, but it's bridging that gap between like 1090 00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:44,360 Speaker 1: the four hundred dollars cashmere cardigan versus now it's like 1091 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,719 Speaker 1: sixty to eighty. Yeah, but it's still I would still 1092 00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,160 Speaker 1: say paying eighty dollars for a piece of clothing like 1093 00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:51,000 Speaker 1: that's an investment. 1094 00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:52,600 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, definitely. 1095 00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:57,600 Speaker 1: Okay, cast iron pants for cooking, I'm gonna go past 1096 00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 1: because I'm a stainless steel girly. 1097 00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:00,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1098 00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:03,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, But I do think I would say smash for cookware. 1099 00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:08,560 Speaker 1: I do think they're investing in your cookers. 1100 00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:12,319 Speaker 2: Knives, yeah, is definitely one.

This 1104 00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,200 Speaker 1: is a mix as well, smash. 1105 00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,000 Speaker 3: But I do think that there are some things that 1106 00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:32,640 Speaker 3: you can do the more affordable way. But I would 1107 00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:38,080 Speaker 3: say that the that I typically smash that I would 1108 00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:43,000 Speaker 3: invest on is the accommodation mainly, like the area that 1109 00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,880 Speaker 3: you're staying in, in the security of your accommodation and 1110 00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:47,239 Speaker 3: experiences as well. 1111 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:55,480 Speaker 1: Therapy smash sure, yeah, absolutely. 1112 00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:56,640 Speaker 2: Worth looking into. 1113 00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,239 Speaker 3: If you can get a mental health care plan, you 1114 00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,560 Speaker 3: can get a bit cheaper that way. A comfortable mattress 1115 00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:07,800 Speaker 3: obviously smash runners or sneakers smash. 1116 00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:13,239 Speaker 1: But not designer No, No, I think like designers sneakers 1117 00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:18,720 Speaker 1: and shoes, especially white ones christy, Yeah, I couldn't, they're 1118 00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:20,080 Speaker 1: gonna get thrashed. 1119 00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:22,400 Speaker 2: Yeah.
