1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Today on Shared Lunch, we're taking a moment to remember

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Nigel Latter, who passed away last week at the age

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: of fifty eight. As most New Zealanders know, Nigel was

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: a true Kiwi icon, someone who tackled urgent, complex topics

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: with curiosity, honesty, and warmth. As an author and a broadcaster,

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: he made psychology and big national issues feel relatable and real.

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: Nigel made time for everyone, including us, and we're grateful

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: to have had the chance to talk with him. Today

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: we're resharing that conversation as a tribute to Nigel with

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: his personal and thoughtful reflections on how to talk to

11
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: kids and faro about money and connecting those conversations to

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: what really matters our values.

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: So thanks so much for Green to have a yarn

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: to me about kids and money and all that fun stuff.

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: Do you want to tell us a bit about you

16
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 2: and what your interests are?

17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 3: I never ever expected to be on Telly, like I

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 3: grew up in the east coast of South Oland. It's

19
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: like I don't know, like it was just I don't

20
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: list all. A lot of us is mysteriou to me

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 3: how any of this happened, but so so for me

22
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: it's kind of like, so most people kind of know

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: me from that point where I started doing the Tally stuff,

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 3: but I like twenty something years of doing clinical stuff

25
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 3: before that, and so most of my clinical work was

26
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 3: kind of teenagers and families and they're sort of what

27
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 3: used to be suspects now that I rang out to

28
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 3: Mariki stuff in prisons and sort of all of that,

29
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: and so I kind of come out of that and

30
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 3: then into TV like literally everything that we ever makes

31
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 3: me going, I don't know anything about this thing. I'm

32
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 3: going to go and talk to some people who know,

33
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: and then I basically just go around asking questions because

34
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on. But still somehow people

35
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: think that's me saying I know stuff, and like no,

36
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: I'm really not, Like I'm literally just bumbling about the

37
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: place chatting to people who do know stuff, which is

38
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: actually that's the best part of it. I guess, like

39
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: if I really think about the stuff that interests me,

40
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: it's like it really is about how do you I

41
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 3: understand people and what's going on with people? And then

42
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: it's like how do you take that sort of complicated

43
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 3: stuff and simplify and make it easier for people? To understand.

44
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: And that's where Tally's really good. Like, I think a

45
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 3: lot of psychologists get really anxious about doing media stuff

46
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 3: because they think, oh, I can't give a full nuanced

47
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: answer this really complicated question. And it's like, well, no

48
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: you can't. Like so you can't you can't cover them

49
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 3: off because you'll get twenty or thirty seconds and they'll

50
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: cut you out. But I think what we can do is,

51
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: I think it is really important to be kind of

52
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: actively trying to help people to understand stuff. And what

53
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 3: doing TALLY is really greater at is you have to

54
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: make really complicated things simple.

55
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: You're obviously very in tune with parents and families from

56
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: a lot of your research and know you have looked

57
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: into money and children and yeah those dynamics too. Yeah

58
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: what lengths did you have to go to kind of

59
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: explore that topic.

60
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we made the kind of mind of a

61
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 3: money show a few years ago an Shua Kiwi bank

62
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: definitely Qui Bank great. They would just said, here's a

63
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: bunch of money. You guys know what you're doing, make

64
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: a TV show. So it was really good. We kind

65
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: of talk about like the secret engine, so you have

66
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 3: to have some kind of intellectual kind of secret engine

67
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: basis to the content that you're talking about, and then

68
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: try to make that kind of interesting for people. So

69
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: we started thinking about this idea of kind of money personalities,

70
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: and there is some stuff around that that you know

71
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: there some of us are more about security, and some

72
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: of us more about experiences, and some of us, you know,

73
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: money is about freedom, it's about the social stuff. And

74
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: so money is just like what we do with their

75
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: money fundamentally just reflects the values of who we are.

76
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 3: I mean, like I say, some people they just can't

77
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 3: say because it's like they just want that dopamine rush

78
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 3: of stuff. So it's like there are understanding I think

79
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: your kind of money personality. And again, like I think

80
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: that taps a lot into kind of temperament, and it

81
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: taps a lot into kind of your kind of values

82
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: and how you see the world. But that's another thing,

83
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: getting humans to think long term, to think about the future,

84
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 3: and that's really hard because we're not used to that.

85
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: We're made for, you know, basically prehistoric times. We've got

86
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: these one hundred thousand, maybe two hundred thousand year old brains.

87
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 3: We're doing enormously complicated stuff with them. But they're still

88
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 3: the same old brains. So they struggle with imagining the

89
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 3: future and these really abstract kind of concepts because you know,

90
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: they're more likely to be caught by you know, the

91
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: little aptic go is bing, you've got three coins? Did

92
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 3: I all amazing?

93
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: Do you know say that's complicated for humans? Do you

94
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 2: wonder if it's in some ways easier for kids without

95
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: dreaming about the future of what could come next?

96
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 3: I think the children what you can do is you

97
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 3: can kind of model stuff, and you can start to

98
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 3: set up some habits and things, and so, you know,

99
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 3: for a lot of people, like I kind of grew

100
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: up on a house where we never really talked about money,

101
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: Like it wasn't a thing that anyone ever talked about,

102
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 3: and so I didn't really have any understanding of that

103
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: kind of stuff. And it was because you know, like

104
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: my dad was a builder and my mom was a mum,

105
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: and it was just like their world was you work

106
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: your money and then you spend it on stuff. And

107
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 3: so like I remember, like as a young man reading

108
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 3: that Richard Kiyosaki rich Dad, poor Dad thing and thinking, man,

109
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 3: this passive income stuff, this sounds pretty good, Like I

110
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: want me some of that, but like that wasn't stuff

111
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: that I ever learned, and so I do think it's

112
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: important for parents to to kind of talk to kids

113
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: about that stuff and to talk about you know, to

114
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 3: find ways to teach them that sort of delayed gratification stuff.

115
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: So like when I remember, like my boys were little,

116
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 3: they had the pocket money thing, right, and they would

117
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 3: just get like we didn't make them save it, and

118
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: we just said, well, look it's yours. You can decide

119
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 3: what you do. And so my youngest guy, he was

120
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: like every week ago and buy some two dollars crappy

121
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 3: little thing and that would break and break and break.

122
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: But his brother would kind of save up and he

123
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 3: would you know, get bigger, cooler stuff. And so eventually

124
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: the younger one thought I must start saving the stuff.

125
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 3: He had to go through that. It is like when

126
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 3: you first when you first get money, and it's like

127
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 3: your own money, that's a pretty amazing thing. I remember

128
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: my first job when I and I'm so old, I

129
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: got a check book and I remember thinking, oh my god,

130
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 3: like a check book, all right, checks for stuff. It

131
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 3: does feel kind of quite free and amazing. So you

132
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 3: do have to go through that phase of kind of

133
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 3: doing dumb stuff with it. But it's really helpful if

134
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 3: you can start that conversation I think earlier with kids

135
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 3: so they can start thinking about things like interest and

136
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: delayed gratification and yeah, you can spend it all now

137
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 3: or you could, but because that's about self control and

138
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: self regulation and lots of really good skills.

139
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: So for those that are thinking about setting up their

140
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: kids with pocket money, how did you what do they

141
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: need to do together their pocket money? And then also

142
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: do you think you would go about look you choose

143
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: what you do with it for a while, or actually,

144
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: for certain money personalities, we're going to teach you spend, save,

145
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: gift or whatever, you know, because actually I know you're

146
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: just going to do whatever you want with it.

147
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 3: You know. Yeah. Yeah, Well, So what I think is

148
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 3: like this, I don't think there's any kind of rights

149
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: or wrong, and I don't think there's any one sort

150
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 3: of hard research sciences based on So I do think

151
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: we know some stuff about about the stuff that you know,

152
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 3: how we spend money, and it is that stuff about

153
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 3: you know, saving someone, spending stuff and fun stuff and

154
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 3: giving stuff we like that makes that kind of makes

155
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 3: people feel better. So it's like, it's like all things parenting,

156
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: you know, you have to like the more you understand

157
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 3: about your kid and the attemperament and how they're wired

158
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: together and how they see the world, then you can

159
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 3: do some different things for them. Because for some kids

160
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 3: it'll be like I've got it and now I'm going

161
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: to spend it and what I don't know. I'm just

162
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: going to throw it out the window because it feels cool,

163
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: and other kids. He was like, man, you would say

164
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: this do you're a hundred and you wouldn't. You wouldn't

165
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 3: do anything with it. And so it is I think

166
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 3: about that that first thing of when they first start

167
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 3: to kind of get some pocket money and get a

168
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: little bit of money. It's that it's like every other

169
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 3: every other part of parenting. It's like, what kind of

170
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: kid do I have? And how is their temperament? How

171
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 3: is this going to work out for them later on?

172
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: And what are the skills that I need to start

173
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: teaching them now around the stuff. So if I've got

174
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: a little spender, you know, I'm going to let that

175
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 3: blow on for a bit so they can get that

176
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 3: out of the system and then just start kind of

177
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 3: gently file ways to kind of to bring it back. So,

178
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: like you know, with my youngest, we didn't have to

179
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: step in and make a policy. He just kind of

180
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 3: got there himself. But if he just kept doing it,

181
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: then I think we would have probably had some more

182
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 3: focus conversations with him about like what do you like,

183
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 3: what's the what's what's going on now? You know, and

184
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: then we might have done some stuff like Okay, we're

185
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: gonna we're going to take a fifty percent tax off you.

186
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: It's called the future tax, and we're going to put

187
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: this in this jar and you have to pay it

188
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 3: because we're the government. This helders. And then at a

189
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 3: certain time, we'll see how much is there and you

190
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: can you can spend it on some stuff. Well, then

191
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 3: you can make a decision about whether you increase your

192
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: tax rate or what you do like that that kind

193
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 3: of stuff.

194
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: I'm really intrigued on what people what kids should be

195
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 2: remunerated for with pocket money, Like how do you make

196
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: sure their money are aware but not money hungry or

197
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: money fearful? You know?

198
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think it should be kind

199
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 3: of values driven in your home, So like all families

200
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 3: need to kind of figure out, like what are the

201
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: values that drive our family and no one's got the

202
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: you know, it's it's it's about finding the stuff that

203
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 3: works for you. And so I personally, I think it's

204
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: a good thing for kids to like pocket money and

205
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 3: stuff that you get because you do some stuff to

206
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 3: help out. And so if you do the stuff to

207
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 3: help out, then you get paid, because it's kind of

208
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: how the world is. And I know other people don't.

209
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 3: They just just give it to their kids. And I

210
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 3: don't think either strategy is right or wrong. I just

211
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 3: think they are I think I think what people can

212
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 3: do sometimes is they can just chuck money at kids

213
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 3: and they have no sense of the value of it

214
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 3: and they just waste stuff. And I don't think that's

215
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: a good thing to do that. I think to have

216
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 3: some sort of consciousness of the fact that actually, you know,

217
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: this comes from somewhere, you know, like you losing your

218
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 3: shoes at school for like the third time, that stuff

219
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: comes from somewhere. So I think that you know, it's

220
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 3: that consequential learning stuff about money is still fundamentally it's

221
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 3: a resource that you have to make decisions about, and

222
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 3: if you make poor decisions, then you end up in

223
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 3: not such a great place.

224
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: I remember when I had my children and I was

225
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: becoming a parent, I was like, there's all these humans

226
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: out there, it can't be that hard. Well, and then

227
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: I thought there has to be a formula, like why

228
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: isn't there a formulator like how to raise his child

229
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 2: or how you know?

230
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 3: And it kind of is right, I mean, there is

231
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 3: a way of kind of there are some frameworks that

232
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: you can apply to people, the temperament stuff, so that

233
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 3: you can kind of understand because we all kind of

234
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: we all kind of have a basic temperament, right You're

235
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: you're an introvert or an extrovert, your you know, more

236
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: intense or less intense, and that's we We're kind of

237
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 3: keep that through our whole life. But it changes over

238
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 3: a life as well, and so that's the really important

239
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 3: but to kind of figure out what your kid's temperament

240
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: is and then apply the things that work to that.

241
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: Because really persistent, which is the nice way of saying

242
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 3: stubborn kids. They're very different to the more kind of

243
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: easy going quick do without to change kids.

244
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got both. I call a strong.

245
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: World because you have to it's not what we mean.

246
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: I do need to touch on that introvert extra because

247
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: I feel like I hear all the time, you know

248
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: that being used, and I also hear all we shouldn't

249
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: be using that. It's not actually how people are well.

250
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 3: No, so that the temperament stuff's been around for over

251
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: fifty years, and so what the extrast stuff is talking about?

252
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 3: I think, I think what people get tangled up and

253
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 3: they think there's a good one and a bad one,

254
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 3: and they're not like extroverts have their things going and

255
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: introverts to their thing going. That they're both introverts and

256
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 3: introverts like people, but introverts find it draining to be

257
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 3: around people and they fill up in quiet time, and

258
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 3: extroverts get their energy from being around people and they

259
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 3: find it draining being alone, and so like understanding that

260
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 3: basic thing about yourself is fundamentally important by nature. I'm

261
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 3: an introvert, so I find long periods of doing it

262
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 3: social stuff like it's really tiring. I just need a

263
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 3: little bit of quiet time. Weirdly, my partner is a

264
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 3: real extrovert, and so for her it's kind of the opposite,

265
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 3: but it's still kind of worked. And so it's not

266
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 3: like there's not a good one or a bad one.

267
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 3: They both have. There's both good and bad things about

268
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 3: all of that. Just like you know, there are having

269
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 3: a strong will kid is draining and exhausting. But those

270
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 3: are the kids when the will goes you can't do that,

271
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 3: they go shut up, I can't and they just do it,

272
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 3: you know. And the kids who are more flexible, what

273
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 3: they do is they find another way around it, or

274
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 3: they're better at working with teams of people, all that

275
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 3: kind of stuff. So there are good or bad temperaments.

276
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 3: It's just who we are and then understanding that and

277
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 3: trying to figure out how to use that.

278
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, personally, I've noticed myne change that's becoming a parent too.

279
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: I think I was more extroverted and now I find

280
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: if I can get a bit of a loan time,

281
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: I'm like.

282
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's just survival. That's just like even kids,

283
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 3: even if you're an ext of it, kids will scoop

284
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: all of that out of you, and you just you

285
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 3: just want to be away from tiny grasping fingers. It's

286
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 3: like just I just want peace of just no one

287
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 3: demanding stuff or anythings if something is my fault.

288
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are some top tips that it might not

289
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 2: just be parents, grandparents, anybody in a child's life, What

290
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: are some things that you wish you saw people do more?

291
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: When that interacting with children when it comes.

292
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 3: To money, money is just another way to teach kids'

293
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 3: values and to show kids the stuff that's important for you.

294
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 3: And so the way that you spend money and what

295
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 3: you spend it on, that's that's just like the way

296
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 3: you treat other people when you're out and about with

297
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: your kids, Like that's teaching them things about your values,

298
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 3: and they're looking at your values and making their decisions.

299
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 3: So so I kind of think it's about, Okay, you

300
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 3: just have to decide that values based stuff like how

301
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 3: do how do we think you look after people? And

302
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 3: how do we look after each other? And how do

303
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 3: we treat other people? And I think you just have

304
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 3: to be kind of values driven so that regardless of

305
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: kind of how much money you have with your kids,

306
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 3: that they are kind of making values based decisions about

307
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 3: what they do with it. Parenting is essentially it's a

308
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: long conversation, and so it's not like you do one

309
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: thing and it's like, okay, we've done that. We did

310
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 3: money from seven to nine, and now that's sorted. It's

311
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 3: just this continuous kind of ongoing conversation when you.

312
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: Reflect on yourself as a dad and how you've interacted

313
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 2: with money with your children or what you've installed in

314
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: them as anything you're really proud of, like a moment

315
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: where you're like, oh, I think that really helped them.

316
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 3: So I think one of the things that we kind

317
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 3: of tried to do is like, I think it's fine

318
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 3: to give your kids stuff, but you should give them

319
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 3: stuff because you want to give them stuff, not just

320
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: because they expect it or whatever. And so you know,

321
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 3: when it comes a little word, we do stuff. But

322
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: I remember again the youngest guy, I think we're in

323
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 3: Queenstown or something, and he wanted this silver money box

324
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 3: thing from Smuggle and like he never he was actually

325
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: really mallow cutler, He would never have. He had this

326
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 3: full on, two hour long meltdown because he had I

327
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 3: don't know, four bucks or something and it was going

328
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 3: to cost four dollars fifty and I chose that moment

329
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 3: to teach him a little money lesson, and like to

330
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: be honest, about twenty minutes and I was thinking, oh, man,

331
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 3: I shouldn't we should just give them the kid the

332
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: fifty cents because it's just getting really boring. It's like,

333
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: I don't believe that he didn't. He hasn't sat down

334
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 3: and say, you know, Baba, that day in Queenstown changed

335
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 3: my heart look on life. He just remembers being really

336
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 3: angry about us at the time. So if I look

337
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 3: back to my too, I actually think it's more about

338
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 3: their too, individual little personalities and temperaments are like I

339
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: didn't think. I don't think it was anything any of

340
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 3: that stuff that we didn't need necessary that made a difference.

341
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 3: But I think as part of I think you need

342
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 3: to see the money conversations with kids as being part

343
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: of all of that stuff. Like so it's a really

344
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 3: important part of life. And too, as they get older,

345
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 3: I think you have to have conversations with them about

346
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 3: the wider world of money, because like they're there. You know.

347
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 3: It is things like you know, the counter narrative that

348
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 3: poor people are poor because they're lazy and they do

349
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 3: work hard, and it's like, well, actually most people are

350
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: poor because they get paid the minimum wage and so

351
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 3: they're actually working seventy or eighty hours a week. Like, well,

352
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 3: now we've gone out and talked to and I've worked

353
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 3: in homes and your famis where they're working far harder

354
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 3: than I've ever worked. And so you know, the things

355
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 3: like having conversations with your kids about how they think

356
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 3: about stuff, because they get to vote at some point,

357
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 3: so you have to decide, like, you know, what do

358
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 3: you think about all the stuff about taxes and tax rates,

359
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: and do we help other people out or do we

360
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 3: just all help our soals? And what do we do

361
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: about that? And you know, and generally what happens in

362
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: the world as as more of us get closer to

363
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 3: the edge, we suddenly decide that safety nets are a

364
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: great thing. So all the people that winged about the

365
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 3: dull blood is COVID comes along and it's like we

366
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 3: get research and payments where there's big safety in that,

367
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 3: and everyone's going, oh, this is the most great And

368
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 3: then once we get more comfortable again, we forget that

369
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 3: learning and some people kind of move on.

370
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: I've got a real visual too of that. How you said,

371
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: parenting is a lifelong conversation, and you just see it

372
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: from you know, when you're your child is young and

373
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: you might be teaching them delayed gratification through the Marshal

374
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: arw test or chocolates to.

375
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 3: You know, my oldest is now working and is doing

376
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 3: Key we Saver, and so we're now having conversations about

377
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: which Key we Save a scheme he is in and

378
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: what he thinks about that stuff. And it's so yeah,

379
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: it's like that stuff. It just it doesn't kind of

380
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 3: end it is. It is a long conversation, and it's

381
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 3: just like anything. It's not a separate conversation. And it's

382
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 3: not like one single thing is the be all around

383
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 3: all or anything. It's like they're all part of the

384
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 3: same sort of long thing.

385
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 2: I would love to see more people in the world

386
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: and in particular like feel more that their money is

387
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 2: we for them.

388
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 3: There are some things that we can all do to

389
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: kind of make better decisions and end up in a

390
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: better place. Like if I if.

391
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: I knew.

392
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 3: When I was like starting off what I know now,

393
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,479
Speaker 3: I would be ending my life in a way different

394
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 3: financial position, like just way different. I would have made

395
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 3: some really different decisions. And so particularly in the world

396
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 3: where traditional idea has been that you know, I'll buy

397
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,719
Speaker 3: a home and that'll be my biggest assort. Well, for

398
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,239
Speaker 3: more and more and more people, that's just never going

399
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 3: to happen. So then what do you do with your

400
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 3: money and you have to have ways to understand that

401
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 3: basic concept of like making your money work for you,

402
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 3: like that passive income stuff like you just put in

403
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 3: a thing and then it does stuff. That's a really

404
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 3: that's a really important idea, and increasingly we're going to

405
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 3: have to, you know, those traditional routes of building some

406
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 3: sort of legacy, which is the house that it's just

407
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 3: not going to be for most people.

408
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for your insights around money, and I

409
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 2: think it is really just important kind of to know

410
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: that there isn't a wrong way. It's just about sharing

411
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 2: the values and having those open communications and keeping their

412
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 2: dialogue and just watching it grow and evolve from that

413
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 2: nice The long conversation, The long conversation,
