WEBVTT - Show us your money!

0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:07.680
<v S1>Hello and welcome back to It All Adds Up the

0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:10.289
<v S1>podcast where we chat about money, how to get it,

0:00:10.289 --> 0:00:12.930
<v S1>how to save it and how to invest it. I'm

0:00:12.930 --> 0:00:15.630
<v S1>Jess Irvine, a senior economics writer at the Sydney Morning

0:00:15.630 --> 0:00:17.430
<v S1>Herald and The Age newspapers.

0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:20.430
<v S2>And I'm Don Powell, money editor at those very same papers.

0:00:20.550 --> 0:00:22.500
<v S2>We hope you all had a lovely break and enjoyed

0:00:22.500 --> 0:00:24.660
<v S2>our summer series Re Heat of the best hits from

0:00:24.660 --> 0:00:27.450
<v S2>our first season. We're back and raring to go, but

0:00:27.450 --> 0:00:29.830
<v S2>we've decided to kick off 2023 with something a little different.

0:00:29.850 --> 0:00:32.850
<v S1>Yeah, that's right. With the cost of living crisis really

0:00:32.850 --> 0:00:36.269
<v S1>biting now. We've decided that we want to talk to you,

0:00:36.270 --> 0:00:39.450
<v S1>our listeners, about how you are coping. Do you have

0:00:39.450 --> 0:00:42.210
<v S1>a budget? Do you know how much you're spending? Dom

0:00:42.210 --> 0:00:43.769
<v S1>Do you know how much you're spending?

0:00:43.830 --> 0:00:44.970
<v S2>No, no, not at all.

0:00:45.540 --> 0:00:50.550
<v S1>That does not surprise me. For some reason I definitely

0:00:50.550 --> 0:00:52.890
<v S1>know how much I'm spending because I write down every

0:00:52.890 --> 0:00:56.280
<v S1>single dollar and highlight it. But I thought we could

0:00:56.280 --> 0:01:00.480
<v S1>actually start this series by calling you across the coals

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.820
<v S1>and seeing if you know where your money's going. Are

0:01:02.820 --> 0:01:03.390
<v S1>you up for it?

0:01:03.450 --> 0:01:05.640
<v S2>Look, I think for the good of the listeners, for

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:07.140
<v S2>the good of the pod, I'll do it.

0:01:07.770 --> 0:01:09.399
<v S1>You'll expose your finances.

0:01:09.420 --> 0:01:13.140
<v S2>I will expose my finances. But for everyone else, we're

0:01:13.140 --> 0:01:14.910
<v S2>here to help. And we're setting the call out for

0:01:14.910 --> 0:01:17.130
<v S2>you to send us your numbers. They don't have to

0:01:17.130 --> 0:01:19.410
<v S2>be in a fancy spreadsheet like Jess's. They can be

0:01:19.410 --> 0:01:23.310
<v S2>completely unorganized like mine. And in return, we'll take a look,

0:01:23.310 --> 0:01:25.589
<v S2>and we can see if we can find you some

0:01:25.590 --> 0:01:28.410
<v S2>obvious ways to save some cash or achieve a financial

0:01:28.410 --> 0:01:29.009
<v S2>goal or two.

0:01:29.190 --> 0:01:31.500
<v S1>Yeah. You can think of us as your friends down

0:01:31.500 --> 0:01:33.480
<v S1>the pub having a chat, you know, to help you

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.179
<v S1>get to grips with this tricky subject of money and

0:01:36.180 --> 0:01:38.520
<v S1>hopefully put you on a better path to make some

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.800
<v S1>good money decisions in 2023.

0:01:40.950 --> 0:01:42.479
<v S2>Can we actually go to the pub?

0:01:43.590 --> 0:01:45.000
<v S1>Yeah, Dom, if you're buying.

0:01:45.330 --> 0:01:48.090
<v S2>All right, maybe not then. But anyway, this is where

0:01:48.090 --> 0:01:50.460
<v S2>we want you to get involved. Whether you're a spreadsheet

0:01:50.460 --> 0:01:52.140
<v S2>wizard or have no clue at all where you're at.

0:01:52.170 --> 0:01:54.210
<v S2>We'd love you to get in touch. You can email

0:01:54.210 --> 0:01:56.880
<v S2>us at it all. Adds up at 9:00 pm to

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.220
<v S2>you with your name and contact details and a little

0:01:59.220 --> 0:02:01.260
<v S2>bit about you, such as where you live and how

0:02:01.260 --> 0:02:02.130
<v S2>much you think you spend.

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.640
<v S1>Yeah, we personally monitor that email inbox, so if you

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.620
<v S1>do email us a promise that one of us will

0:02:07.620 --> 0:02:10.410
<v S1>be back in touch with you. We'll be dropping our

0:02:10.410 --> 0:02:13.260
<v S1>episodes in this new series from next week, so do

0:02:13.260 --> 0:02:14.070
<v S1>stay tuned.

0:02:14.370 --> 0:02:16.220
<v S2>And I can't wait to be grilled live on air.

0:02:16.230 --> 0:02:17.370
<v S2>So I'll see you then.

0:02:17.990 --> 0:02:20.220
<v S1>Yeah, I can't wait to grill you on it. See

0:02:20.220 --> 0:02:20.880
<v S1>you all then.
