But here they are 115 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: saving us from potentially another four years with Voldemort. Hey 116 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: be a fan we're going to take a quick break 117 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,559 Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. 118 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 2: I'll say this that, so the state of the Union, 119 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 2: some of the things that kind of pertain to like 120 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: our audience, I mean, all of it obviously pertains if 121 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 2: you're in a United States citizen. But some of the 122 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 2: things that stood out to me were he proposed extending 123 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 2: negotiations for prescription junk, so Medicare can directly now negotiate 124 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 2: with drug companies, and they've been able to do so 125 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 2: very successfully. So, for example, they were able to get 126 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 2: insolent cap at thirty five dollars, which is tremendous because 127 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 2: for some people it was just insolent. It's like if 128 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 2: you don't get it in your diabetic you don't live. Yeah, 129 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 2: And so to price it at a way that that 130 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 2: a person can't you're sentencing people to death, right, and 131 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: so's they're. 132 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: Like, it is negotiating with it. So is that for 133 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: people who are on medicare, yes, to be able. 134 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 2: To say like, Okay, you can't go past this. He's 135 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 2: also wanted to cap drug cross across the the I 136 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 2: guess across the map at two thousand dollars monthly and 137 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: not monthly annually. So like if I believe if you're 138 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 2: Medicare or I don't know, if it's just Medicare and 139 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,679 Speaker 2: he didn't see it didn't specify, or just in general, 140 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 2: if you are on prescription drugs, that your drugs collectively 141 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: should not cost you more than two thousand dollars for 142 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 2: the year. That's something that he proposed, okay, because you know, 143 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 2: for some people, like sometimes one drug is two thousand dollars. 144 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, especially if you have something like cancer. Yeah, I 145 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: mean it's wild to me that, like my dad has 146 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: been in the hospital for a long time and we 147 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: are all just like hanging home for dear life with 148 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: those bills that start hitting. Yeah, you got one medication. Yes, 149 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: it's cost that much. So that's okay, But that's proposed. 150 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: So the Congress got to do what Congress. 151 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: Got to do. The thirty five dollars, it's happening already, 152 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 2: and he wants to extend it like that, extend that 153 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 2: that that that correction. Something else that he's proposed was 154 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 2: a four hundred dollars monthly tax credit for two years 155 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: to home buyers to help them buy new homes. So 156 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 2: you would get this to like you know, so you. 157 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: Can negotiate with the banks for a lower interest. 158 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: I know. Child. He was like, look, this is what 159 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 2: I can do. He also wants to get rid of 160 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 2: title insurance. That's what would save about a thousand dollars. 161 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, because like it's such a you know, that's 162 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: supposedly to ensure that like so like someone else could 163 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: come and say, I had the title to this house. Yes, 164 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: just like throw off your whole thing. But I don't 165 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 1: even know how much that happened so. 166 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 2: Exactly, so it's like, you know, these for fee's sake, 167 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 2: fee for the pppee for pepee, you know. So he 168 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 2: also said that he wants to impose no new taxes 169 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 2: on anyone, any household earning under four hundred thousand dollars 170 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 2: a year. Then instead, he was like, they need to 171 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 2: raise the tax on billionaires. So there's about a thousand 172 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: billionaires in the United States, Mandy, can you guess what 173 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 2: percentage of their income they pay in taxes? Like what 174 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 2: their tax rate is currently? 175 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: Probably like two percent, I mean, because they have all 176 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: these loopholes that they get through. 177 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 2: Girl, the average billionaire pays just over eight percent. Now, 178 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 2: can you guess what the average middle class person pays 179 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 2: for taxes. 180 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: I could guess from personal experience it's a lot more. 181 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: It's like twenty five percent. 182 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 2: Yes, between twenty two and thirty two percent, So you're 183 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 2: right on the nose. So can you imagine that, like 184 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: these billionaires paying on average eight percent when like, why 185 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 2: should I remember as a preschool teacher, I remember distinctly 186 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: I was twenty one percent as a preschool teacher, making 187 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 2: thirty nine thousand dollars a year, and meanwhile, your local 188 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 2: friendly billionaire is paying eight percent or less. Why why 189 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 2: is more of my money going when like the impact 190 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 2: of every billionaire paying he wants to He wanted to 191 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 2: make it that no billionaire would pay less than twenty 192 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 2: five percent, which to me is even like low. 193 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: I mean, the tax code is written for businesses and 194 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: billionaires to have that access to those kinds of tax loopholes. 195 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: I mean that was one of Trump's big pieces of 196 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: legislation with the American Jobs and Tax cook a two 197 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: thousand whatever it was. So yeah, it's no surprise. So 198 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: I would love to see some tax reform that eases 199 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: the burden on the rest of us who are like, 200 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: can we get you know, my big thing is like, 201 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: can I get a tax deduction for the three thousand 202 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: dollars a month I pay in childcare? 203 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 2: Girl? 204 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: Like, that's wild.

My husband has that, like dependent care FSA 206 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: only five thousand dollars a year. Wow, less than two 207 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: months worth of wow take care expenses. You know. So yeah, 208 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: I hope. I don't know if it'll be like the 209 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: Biden's term, but I'm hoping we get like a family first, 210 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: like childcare activist in the White House, I mean, just 211 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: doing some basic shit. 212 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 2: You know, I mean, well, you know. And so he 213 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: spoke about investing in HBCUs. You know historically black colleges 214 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: and university. He didn't get specific about it. He just 215 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 2: said wanted to invest in them. So I don't know 216 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 2: what that means. Also, too, he spoke about so far 217 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 2: about four million students have been helped with their reform 218 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 2: with student loans. 219 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: He pays me one like of his big got that's done. 220 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 2: Well, you know, obviously he got pushed back, he said, 221 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: because it was about thirty five million students more that 222 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: if he would have pushed it would have been affected. 223 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: So it was about it was about forty million students 224 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 2: that would have positively been affected by the you know, 225 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 2: the bill that he was trying to push through, and 226 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 2: they had to acquiesce to something smaller. But so far 227 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,599 Speaker 2: four million people have been helped, but they're trying to 228 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 2: still push. Yeah, it was And honestly, afterwards, they did, 229 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 2: like I think it was CNN or Wall Street Journal, 230 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 2: they did some sort of like I don't know, like 231 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 2: a poll, and they said about fifty six percent of 232 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 2: people who watched the State of the Union felt like 233 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 2: that he had a better handle on the economy. So 234 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 2: there seems to be some like, you know. 235 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: I mean, there's the economy, which by all measures is 236 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: doing well, and then they're like, you know, our personal economy, yes, 237 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 1: which I came home with two bags of groceries and 238 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: it was one hundred and forty. 239 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 2: Girl, everybody I know is like I broke I dronk. 240 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: When I opened my trunk, Tiffany, this happened this morning. 241 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: The carton of eggs slipped out of the bag and 242 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: fell on the floor, and I was like, I wanted 243 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: to do what those dramatic movie seems like ten fucking dollars, 244 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: I mean, just trash immediately.

And 689 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 2: he was like, oh, I'm not faithful because I love 690 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 2: her so much. I love her so much. That's why 691 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 2: I'm with her. He said, I'm faithful because I'm not 692 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 2: a cheater. And it was like wait what he was Actiffany, like, 693 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,399 Speaker 2: whether it was her or somebody else, I'm not a cheater. 694 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 2: I'm not cheating. I have an internal code for me 695 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 2: that says I don't do that. And it was kind 696 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 2: of like the first time that I realized, like, oh, then, yes, 697 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 2: he obviously he loves this woman so much. You're not 698 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 2: with somebody for this long, you hope, not out of love. 699 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 2: But that wasn't the thing that it was like, I 700 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 2: have already decided I'm not a cheater, so I don't 701 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 2: navigate in that space in that way. And you know, 702 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 2: like Jerrell and Trurel, really handsome guy six five sixty six, high, 703 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 2: cheap bones, dark skinned, I mean really handsome. I mean, sure, 704 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,760 Speaker 2: there's plenty of opportunity, but I just love that because 705 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 2: I have met a number of men that operate with 706 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 2: that same internal code of like I'm not a cheater. 707 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 2: It's almost like I'm not a smoker. So it's like, oh, 708 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,760 Speaker 2: I'm so wild. You should be so proud of yourself 709 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 2: that you don't smoke because no, no, I don't smoke, 710 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 2: not for some moral reason. I don't smoke because I'm 711 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,800 Speaker 2: not a smoker. It comes from inside out. And so 712 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 2: I think that's really like that love is blind. Like 713 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 2: you know your father cheats because he's a cheatter. Yeah, period, 714 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 2: And so if you don't want to be a cheating yes, 715 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 2: if you don't want to be a cheater, you just 716 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 2: decide on that and you don't be that everyone doesn't steal. 717 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: You know the fact that he was saying in interviews 718 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: after he's or in like his interviews on the show, 719 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 1: you know they do like the straight to cam kind 720 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 1: of like answering a question, and he was saying how 721 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: he just didn't have many he didn't have many black 722 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: male role models you know who he saw that were 723 00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: that were wait many black Romeo roll mom, else we're 724 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: male and like we're faithful that he saw a lot 725 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 1: of unfaithful black role models and I'm like, but there's 726 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:11,240 Speaker 1: so many like I mean, Sterling K.

You're not ten, 731 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 2: you're not six. You can decide I'm not a drinker, 732 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 2: I'm not a smoker, I'm not a cheap like. You 733 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 2: actually get to decide.

But I'll say that like yeah, yeah, 879 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 2: I just I just wandered, like you know, I just 880 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 2: it's I just as more and more of my friends, 881 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,720 Speaker 2: you know, the thought is if I don't get married, 882 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:38,879 Speaker 2: this is what the world tell you. If you don't 883 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 2: get married, have kids, who's gonna look after you when 884 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,720 Speaker 2: you get old? You're making the assumption that your husband 885 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,320 Speaker 2: will make it. I'm someone who lost my husband. Getting married, 886 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,800 Speaker 2: even a good marriage, does not guarantee that that's what 887 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 2: that's what the ending is going to look like. So 888 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 2: trying to get married for that reason, No, I had 889 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,320 Speaker 2: a great marriage. My husband was great and amazing, and 890 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,399 Speaker 2: but he's not here. I'm forty four. He died when 891 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 2: I was forty one, you know, And so that doesn't 892 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,400 Speaker 2: guarantee this financial stability at the end, it does it. 893 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:13,879 Speaker 2: There are financial things that you can do to set 894 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 2: yourself up that you can have yourself looked after one 895 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 2: way or the other. And one thing that women are 896 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,800 Speaker 2: really good at is building community around ourselves, meaning like 897 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 2: your siblings, your friends, your neighbors, and that like, not 898 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 2: getting married does not mean that you're not going to 899 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,400 Speaker 2: have access to like the glove surrounding you, you know 900 00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 2: what I mean? You know, and as somebody who was 901 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,400 Speaker 2: married and it was good, you know, and who is 902 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,759 Speaker 2: not married anymore because he's not here, you know, like 903 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,280 Speaker 2: life is still like I'm learning good despite the loss, 904 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 2: but I am now navigating from a place of like, Okay, 905 00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 2: what does it look like to make sure I have 906 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 2: things in place to look after myself? You know, like 907 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:56,800 Speaker 2: I checked all the boxes what they tell you to do, 908 00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 2: and still I found myself here. So I don't want 909 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,640 Speaker 2: you checking is just because I wanted to check boxes 910 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 2: for happiness, like if I ever get married again, which 911 00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 2: I don't necessarily see that in my future. I mean, 912 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,320 Speaker 2: you never know, I guess, but if I do, it 913 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,160 Speaker 2: won't be because I feel like I have to check 914 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,640 Speaker 2: a box. It would be because you know that this 915 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,640 Speaker 2: is a connection that I want to like have more deeply. 916 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,359 Speaker 2: But other than that, I'm happy either way not having 917 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 2: it because I'm surrounded by so much love. I have 918 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,839 Speaker 2: such awesome friends. I have cleaned house. All the friends 919 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,360 Speaker 2: who weren't awesome are no longer here bye, And I 920 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,480 Speaker 2: know they be listening because I'll be here through the 921 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 2: great from her in a while, she. 922 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,239 Speaker 1: Cleaned me, She threw me out. 923 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,600 Speaker 2: Who wants to clean house? Asked you to have the 924 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:43,000 Speaker 2: show called clean house?

Her big thing 1043 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,040 Speaker 2: is like how to make a thousand dollars in one day, 1044 00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:51,800 Speaker 2: So not every day, but in one day, so you 1045 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:53,799 Speaker 2: learn how to like make a trade that can make 1046 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,600 Speaker 2: your thousand. Terry's biggest one of her biggest trades. I 1047 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,600 Speaker 2: saw her on I think it was Karen Hunter. That's 1048 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,880 Speaker 2: another podcasts at my mom sometimes we're live. I remember 1049 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,560 Speaker 2: I asked her about it. She had done this trade. 1050 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,600 Speaker 2: She always wanted to do a million dollar trade. So 1051 00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,840 Speaker 2: I was like, so it was disney stock and she 1052 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,600 Speaker 2: started with three hundred thousand dollars and she made a 1053 00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,920 Speaker 2: trade meaning like you know, bought it and then sold 1054 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,839 Speaker 2: it live so we could all see. So she went 1055 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,600 Speaker 2: from three hundred thousand dollars to a million dollars in 1056 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,560 Speaker 2: that trade. Now, she had been setting that trade off 1057 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,399 Speaker 2: for months because you know, you basically there's like charts 1058 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:28,799 Speaker 2: you could follow up when it's going to go up 1059 00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 2: and down. It all the stuff that I don't know, 1060 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,960 Speaker 2: but you know, she had been like waiting for this moment, like, 1061 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,320 Speaker 2: based upon like all of her charting and whatever she 1062 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,759 Speaker 2: had been doing, that this should be the day that 1063 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,680 Speaker 2: the stock basically should triple within this timeframe or whatever. 1064 00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,160 Speaker 2: And it did. So she took three hundred thousand and 1065 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,520 Speaker 2: made it into a million, and I was like, and 1066 00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,600 Speaker 2: obviously that is not typical, because girl, who're doing all that? 1067 00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:51,600 Speaker 2: Cause who has three hundred thousand? But what if you 1068 00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:53,960 Speaker 2: have thirty to make it into one hundred or three 1069 00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:57,800 Speaker 2: hundred into a thousand, or three thousand into ten thousand. 1070 00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 2: And I just don't want to feel like, like I said, obviously, 1071 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,800 Speaker 2: like I know how to do some basic mechanics, but 1072 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,840 Speaker 2: I don't feel empowered. Honestly, I don't, you know, Like 1073 00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:07,520 Speaker 2: I kind of like set it and forget it, which 1074 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 2: quite honestly is better than nothing if you don't do 1075 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,400 Speaker 2: nothing else I set it and forget it. It is 1076 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,080 Speaker 2: way better than most. But I wanted this is an 1077 00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 2: area where I have this limiting belief that it's too hard, 1078 00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,680 Speaker 2: and I want to prove myself wrong. Like that's not true, Tiffany, 1079 00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 2: you know, so if you want to join along with me, 1080 00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,920 Speaker 2: she's my coach and you will see me there.
