Speaker 1: Hey, hey, Hey, I'm back and I'm black.
Speaker 2: Do you know what I I listened to this podcast.
Speaker 2: Hi guys, it's Mandy around Ambition. I was listening to
Speaker 2: this because I I decided that it's been you know,
Speaker 2: I'm such a Broadway nerd, and I don't listen to
Speaker 2: any Broadway podcast and I've been meaning to sign up
Speaker 2: for some and I found I follow Broadway Black dot Com,
Speaker 2: which is which is basically a blog that was started
Speaker 2: to highlight you know, all twelve women people of color
Speaker 2: in Broadway.
Speaker 1: Which is highlights still Cynthia Erbia.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I mean this was started. Broadway Black
Speaker 2: dot Com was started years like a few years ago.
Speaker 2: I want to say, at least I started following it
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. The whole but the beauty
Speaker 2: of it is that Broadway has changed so much, like
Speaker 2: it is so much more diverse now. There's not just
Speaker 2: twelve people anymore. There's like entire shows. I saw a
Speaker 2: play last week with a black Joan of Arc. Hm
Speaker 2: Condola Rashad, Felicia Rashad's daughter played Joan of Arc and
Speaker 2: it was it was amazing and it wasn't like the
Speaker 2: hip hop version of Joan of Arc you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, it was like it was just a black story. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she just happened to be blackmcials.
Speaker 1: Where they're like.
Speaker 3: By Ford, You're like, you know, you could just say,
Speaker 3: you know, this is a great car. You don't you
Speaker 3: don't have to hip hip hop size it for black folks.
Speaker 1: We likely all other types of music, all of it.
Speaker 2: She was phenomenal. So Broadway is just becoming. So it's
Speaker 2: just such a you know, there's the same theater that
Speaker 2: premiered this Joan of Arc or it's called Saint Joan
Speaker 2: starring Condola Rashad. The same theater is doing a play
Speaker 2: this summer which I couldn't even get tickets to because
Speaker 2: it's already sold out called Oh Crap, Oh Sugar in
Speaker 2: My Wounds that takes place in the age of slavery
Speaker 2: between slaves who are gay. So an actual like, can
Speaker 2: you imagine this play getting made like five years ago.
Speaker 2: It's it's amazing. So theater is just like it's so
Speaker 2: I mean after not just I don't want to just
Speaker 2: credit Hamilton for it, but it just feels like in
Speaker 2: the years that I've lived here, in the past eight
Speaker 2: or nine years, going to see Broadway shows. Something has
Speaker 2: changed the past two years. Like I've never had so
Speaker 2: many options for to go see shows that are written
Speaker 2: by performed by people of color. And it is freaking fantastic.
Speaker 1: So happy.
Speaker 3: So I did something today. It was not cheap, but
Speaker 3: it was my first time doing it, and said, let
Speaker 3: me try I got let me know.
Speaker 1: I don't, well, Mandy, you have long lashes.
Speaker 3: I feel like I've got semi permanent lashes for the
Speaker 3: first time.
Speaker 1: And it was expensive, but I wanted to try it.
Speaker 3: And because the girl who does my makeup for events
Speaker 3: that if you have three or more events in a row,
Speaker 3: you should just do it because in the long run,
Speaker 3: it's it's less money.
Speaker 1: So not something I would you like to keep up with.
Speaker 3: But I have like four events in the next like
Speaker 3: week and a half, and so I said, let me
Speaker 3: try it.
Speaker 2: And I was like slash, like a lash extension, yeah,
Speaker 2: with they saw weave for your eyelashes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they well, you know how like you you've seen
Speaker 3: like that, you know, like there's actually like lashes that
Speaker 3: you could put on for the day. No, but they
Speaker 3: actually have one that they attached to your eyelash and
Speaker 3: they last for about two weeks or so like, so no,
Speaker 3: it's literally it's time consuming. Actually, I was like, wow,
Speaker 3: women are dedicated. It's like what literally one hair attached
Speaker 3: to one of your lashes and another hair attached to another.
Speaker 1: It actually looks so natural that.
Speaker 3: Like I came home and I said, hey, Subpan, like,
Speaker 3: you know, blinking profusely, see anything different, see anything different?
Speaker 3: And he's like, uh, literally, look at me from toad
Speaker 3: toad to head. Your eyebrows are dead. I'm like, sir, no,
Speaker 3: I was like, my lashes he looked. He was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's a good or bed thing.
Speaker 3: Because I told her I didn't want them to look
Speaker 3: I wanted them to look naturally. You know, men never
Speaker 3: noticed anything, but he would know if they looked crazy.
Speaker 3: So I didn't want them to look crazy, but I
Speaker 3: at least wanted them to look like I had lashes,
Speaker 3: because I have none.
Speaker 1: But it was so expensive, Mandy. There were ninety dollars.
Speaker 1: Ninety nine dollars.
Speaker 3: Someone told me that that's actually not that expensive for
Speaker 3: a full set, but whatever, I'm yes, and.
Speaker 1: Then to fill them in. So let's you say.
Speaker 3: I wanted to keep them, like, you know, keep it
Speaker 3: going to fill them in every two or three weeks.
Speaker 1: It's like forty bucks. I'm like, I'm not that committed.
Speaker 3: But if anybody familiar with Lamb Chops play along? Are
Speaker 3: you familiar with Mandy? I?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't start it because it'll never end exactly.
Speaker 1: So that little puppet had like this super First of.
Speaker 2: All, why would you say you got something natural? And
Speaker 2: then you're like, you know, lamb Chop the puppet because
Speaker 2: instantly what I see is she had like four thick
Speaker 2: dark eyelashes on her.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I didn't get those, but it took. What
Speaker 3: she did tell me, which I knew, is that my lashes.
Speaker 2: Are hold on.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Sorry, that's your example of like over to an eyelashes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: lamp shop, not real Paul, not Wendy Williams, lamp stops.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I'm on the journey, no way.
Speaker 3: So I was like really afraid that it was gonna
Speaker 3: look because everybody knows me. Then they're like, I'm you know,
Speaker 3: I'm slightly like a tomboy, so you know, off off
Speaker 3: stage or whatever, or I'm not.
Speaker 1: I don't typically wear makeup.
Speaker 3: I usually like a lip gloss and mascara is more
Speaker 3: than enough, and so I was like, I don't want
Speaker 3: to look like, you know, basically a.
Speaker 1: Lambshop of lamp shops playing a long time.
Speaker 3: And so I think, I think, I mean, and you
Speaker 3: girls who get glashes let me know, but I think
Speaker 3: they kind of typically about one hundred and fifty dollars,
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 1: So I felt like it was a pretty good deal.
Speaker 2: That's not bad. I mean my guilty pleasure speaking of group,
Speaker 2: not a guilty pleasure. It's just like, wells, this is
Speaker 2: the way my body is. It just likes to grow
Speaker 2: hair in places where I do not want it.
Speaker 1: So what I did.
Speaker 2: I've been doing laser hair removal, which was always so
Speaker 2: expensive I never thought I could afford it. But you
Speaker 2: can get really good deals on group on for laser
Speaker 2: hair removal packages, like for one hundred bucks, you'll get
Speaker 2: six treatments. The only catch is that they only usually
Speaker 2: offer those deals to new customers. In a city like
Speaker 2: New York, there's literally a like a place I can
Speaker 2: get laser hair removal on every corner. So it's not
Speaker 2: hard for me to find new deals and go, you know,
Speaker 2: bop around from place to place. I probably do it
Speaker 2: once a year, I'll do like sub sessions. I'll be
Speaker 2: good for the year. I mean, but the thing is
Speaker 2: you'll do your six sessions or whatever. But it's really
Speaker 2: hard to permanently stop hair growth. So real talk, ladies.
Speaker 2: We're all friends here, right, So it's you know, it's
Speaker 2: like an investment that I make in my I put
Speaker 2: in myself like once a year to make to make
Speaker 2: me happy and you know, not self conscious about little
Speaker 2: fred and ginger on my chin. That's all.
Speaker 1: How much does it cost?
Speaker 2: Typically, God, like the actual sticker price for a treatment,
Speaker 2: I'll have to look it up. It can be several
Speaker 2: thousand dollars because each treatment, Yeah, because each treatment is
Speaker 2: like a few hundred dollars, if not more. It depends
Speaker 2: on where you're getting it, if you're gonna get your
Speaker 2: entire leg done, because you need to have it. Like
Speaker 2: I said, at least four to six sessions. They say
Speaker 2: sometimes eight sessions. Per session, you're paying a few hundred bucks.
Speaker 2: So like for a large area, for like a small
Speaker 2: chin area, then there's like the medium chin area, then
Speaker 2: the whole neck, and then there's like you know, the
Speaker 2: bikini area. I've never done that. I don't have a
Speaker 2: death wish. There's all there's all different grades of it,
Speaker 2: so that's why there's those groupon deals are clutch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can imagine, you know that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just feel like I don't know. I feel like
Speaker 1: Ebos or Nigerian's I don't know. We don't, I don't,
Speaker 1: we don't know how any hair do you see?
Speaker 2: Neither does any of my African room baits. I hated them.
Speaker 2: They were gonna canyon for real.
Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm like when I say like
Speaker 3: I could probably go the whole summer and not maybe
Speaker 3: I'm I might if I really really wanted to. I
Speaker 3: guess I could shave my leg, but you wouldn't. The
Speaker 3: difference is you can't even see, so that's what. But
Speaker 3: the problem with that is that because of that, that
Speaker 3: also meant I didn't have long lashes. So it's like, eh,
Speaker 3: you know, so my my lack of hair like really
Speaker 3: kind of like goes all the way up to like
Speaker 3: my eyelashes and you know, so, I mean, I guess you.
Speaker 1: Know you win some clue though, but I don't think.
Speaker 2: That's a fair I mean, like I'd rather not have
Speaker 2: long lashes than have to go have someone shoot a
Speaker 2: laser at my face every year. So because that's what
Speaker 2: it is, y'all. I'm not gonna lie. Just imagine someone
Speaker 2: taking a rubber band, like your little brother, taking your
Speaker 2: rubber band and just smacking you in the face for
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes straight. But you know, it's worth it for
Speaker 2: for society to like depend.
Speaker 3: So right, like sitting and getting my eyelashes done where
Speaker 3: nobody can even notice.
Speaker 1: My husband was I mean Legit was like.
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't know, I don't you have to
Speaker 3: tell me something, what what is it? And I was like,
Speaker 3: I don't know how I feel about not looking different
Speaker 3: for ninety nine dollars. I thought I should be looking like,
Speaker 3: I don't know, like for ninety nine dollars, I feel
Speaker 3: like it should be a transformation.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, well, you know, but you have to
Speaker 2: do it for your see, this is what you got
Speaker 2: to do it for you on the inside, to make
Speaker 2: you happy. Because if you're doing it for the man,
Speaker 2: who's never gonna notice. That's why I stopped buying lingerie.
Speaker 1: Oh that's well, that's true.
Speaker 2: Some men are into it, some men are not. I
Speaker 2: learned early on it's a bad investment for some people
Speaker 2: just making a sandwich, a nice sexy girl cheese sandwich.
Speaker 2: Now that it is a very cheap turn on.
Speaker 1: Right, Like are you hungry? Yes, yes, it's true.
Speaker 2: Some guys are just not you know, like and I'm
Speaker 2: telling you lingerie is not cheap. That's another like total ripoff.
Speaker 2: I don't know where these companies are getting off charging
Speaker 2: so much money for Like I went to a I
Speaker 2: had to buy a lingerie for a bachelorette recently, like
Speaker 2: where you do, Like at my bachelorette, for example, they
Speaker 2: all gave you like lingerie, and then you had to
Speaker 2: guess based on how trashy it was, like who gave
Speaker 2: it to you? You know, shout out to Jess for
Speaker 2: giving me a edible candy necklace gee string. I have
Speaker 2: never used that, but anyway, I couldn't. But when I
Speaker 2: went myself to go shopping, I couldn't believe like the
Speaker 2: actual of like a little like you know, neglige or
Speaker 2: whatever that you're probably gonna wear for like five seconds.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's insane. I think it's like someone needs
Speaker 2: to disrupt the lingerie. Is there, like a lingerie box?
Speaker 1: Yeah, or something.
Speaker 3: It's called Joyce Leslie Rainbow like those you know, like
Speaker 3: the little plastic like the little cheapy like stories that
Speaker 3: used to go to when you were in college it
Speaker 3: didn't have much money, oh like.
Speaker 2: Forever twenty one, like Real twenty one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that kind of thing, Like that's I mean when
Speaker 3: I was like in my twenties, yep, I used to
Speaker 3: go there be like, huh this has laced in.
Speaker 2: It five for five songs from May twenty one. Yes,
Speaker 2: fifteen year old Nandy was really into that.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, No, but I totally agree that.
Speaker 3: Some to me, I believe in the safe splurge method
Speaker 3: of you know, you say, if you do what you're
Speaker 3: supposed to do, but then because you know you are
Speaker 3: a good steward of your money, that it's time to
Speaker 3: kind of splurge, that you splurge without guilt.
Speaker 1: So I say, for my splurges basically.
Speaker 2: Yes as long but again like if you're doing it
Speaker 2: for yourself and you feel good, then yes, do it.
Speaker 2: That's that's that's why I get my because you know what,
Speaker 2: I love getting my hair lasered off. It is so
Speaker 2: self satisfying. What else happened this week? Oh shout out
Speaker 2: to my one of my credit card writers. She pointed
Speaker 2: out that the Supreme Court this week passed, uh, basically
Speaker 2: struck down this long standing federal law that made it
Speaker 2: illegal to bet across the country like in all these things.
Speaker 1: Yes, New Jersey was pushing for that.
Speaker 2: On sports, sorry, on sports, specifically sports betting. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: it was like it was a New Jersey case that
Speaker 2: went to the Supreme Court. So shout out to Chris
Speaker 2: Christy the last one of his last Oh.
Speaker 1: I don't know, only we recognized is.
Speaker 2: No, Okay, I mean I recognize him. He's cute anyway,
Speaker 2: So this means that you can doesn't mean it does
Speaker 2: not mean that. Okay, now it is totally the Supreme
Speaker 2: Court struck down this federal law that basically made it
Speaker 2: illegal to bet on sports any were but Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: But it doesn't mean that now you can just bet
Speaker 2: on sports wherever you are across the country. What the
Speaker 2: Supreme Court's ruling basically said was that it's not up
Speaker 2: to the government, the federal government to decide what states
Speaker 2: should do. So it's kicked back to the states to
Speaker 2: make a call. So check your state rules. I'm pretty
Speaker 2: sure this means in New Jersey.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they were pushing for it specifically, and all
Speaker 3: of these betting companies were getting ready. I saw it
Speaker 3: on the news like maybe, like I don't know, a
Speaker 3: few days ago. So they were holding their breath hoping
Speaker 3: that it would be a go and I guess it
Speaker 3: is go Jersey.
Speaker 1: I guess I mean more destroyed families. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't have the stomach for betting. I am stressed
Speaker 2: lottery tickets. I can't.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: I feel like I get stressed if I win, and
Speaker 3: I get stressed if I lose, because if I win,
Speaker 3: I'm like, wait, I.
Speaker 1: Could win again. Wait no, okay, wait no wait, so yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not once I do my once I get one winning.
Speaker 1: I remember a woman when I used used to teach preschool.
Speaker 3: One of the teachers were like, do you want to
Speaker 3: scratch off? I was like, now, she's like, I'll get
Speaker 3: you one. I said, okay, it was a dollar, and
Speaker 3: I won too, two dollars. And then the next day
Speaker 3: she said, do you want to get a scratch, I'll
Speaker 3: give you two dollars from yesterday, And for like a
Speaker 3: week straight she went every day I won, I kept
Speaker 3: rewinning just two dollars, and then by the end, I
Speaker 3: was like, just give you mine. Then I think, like
Speaker 3: the last day you know she was it didn't win anything.
Speaker 3: So I was like, well, there you go. That and that,
Speaker 3: my friends, is how the lottery works.
Speaker 2: I think of how much my father, like my father's
Speaker 2: like part back to my dad again. God, I really
Speaker 2: need to like he needs to be on the show someday.
Speaker 2: But the amount of money he had stuffed into the
Speaker 2: side door of his Accura when I was a kid,
Speaker 2: just stuffed like old lottery tickets, a lot like scratch offs.
Speaker 2: Like all the money he just like shiffed into his
Speaker 2: you know, the inner console of his car over the years,
Speaker 2: I mean, probably amounted to like one hundred thousands of dollars.
Speaker 1: It has to.
Speaker 2: He spends so much money on this crap. But he's
Speaker 2: still you know one day one day and maybe I'll
Speaker 2: like bite my you know, eat my words one day.
Speaker 2: But anyway, good for some people. Thank you for playing
Speaker 2: the lottery because it does pay for like school scholarships.
Speaker 2: So yeah, thank you Georgia citizens for putting me through school,
Speaker 2: getting my tuition paid with the Hope scholarship. I appreciate that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I was gonna say so I don't
Speaker 3: know if you guys, like, you know, buy stocks, but
Speaker 3: so I got I had to.
Speaker 1: You know, did you?
Speaker 3: I think it was you that I when I got
Speaker 3: the robin Hood app. Was that like a couple of
Speaker 3: years ago when you were like, hey, it's free trades.
Speaker 1: I feel like it was you a couple.
Speaker 2: Of years ago. It was probably like three weeks ago
Speaker 2: when we talked about Robin up on the podcast.
Speaker 1: Right probably, And so I really enjoyed the app.
Speaker 3: But what I'm excited is because I bought a stock
Speaker 3: which I'm not going to say the name of, because
Speaker 3: you guys are going to rush and be like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, it went down and now I'm broke. But
Speaker 3: I bought a stock. The IPO was like, which is
Speaker 3: the initial public offering when the stock first goes live,
Speaker 3: was maybe like a week or so ago. It opened
Speaker 3: at twenty nine dollars and now it's have forty five dollars.
Speaker 3: I'm like, woohooky, So I'm feeling rich.
Speaker 2: How many well, I guess you won't share how many
Speaker 2: shares you bought mine.
Speaker 3: I bought twenty four shares honestly because it's it's a
Speaker 3: stock of something that I use all the time, and
Speaker 3: I'm seeing this shift to like every company that I
Speaker 3: interact with using this, and I was like, uh, this
Speaker 3: is a no brainer. Because my sister, who's really into stocks,
Speaker 3: kind of like emailed all the sisters and she's like, Hey,
Speaker 3: the stock is coming up. You guys should watch. I've
Speaker 3: been watching and waiting to see, like what's going to happen.
Speaker 3: She's like, it's opening at twenty nine dollars, but I
Speaker 3: feel like it's going to do much better. And sure enough,
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, it's doing great, honestly, and so
Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, I feel rich.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my husband really wants to buy Spotify when it
Speaker 2: goes public or no is it so and nose Spotify
Speaker 2: so and knows one of those that's going public. I
Speaker 2: actually bought my first stock on robin Hood too. This
Speaker 2: is not a plug for robin Hood, it's just it's
Speaker 2: free trade. So why not. I forgot I had like
Speaker 2: a hundred bucks on there, so I was like, what
Speaker 2: can I get for a hundred bucks? And I realized
Speaker 2: whenever I go to Charlotte, I eat at the same restaurant,
Speaker 2: this really delicious fast food restaurant, I mean, not Fat's
Speaker 2: like fast casual, but it's really healthy. The food is
Speaker 2: so good, and I'm like, man, why isn't there one
Speaker 2: in New York City? So I started researching it and
Speaker 2: I realized it's actually it's like a regional train chain
Speaker 2: in the Southeast, and it's a publicly traded company. So
Speaker 2: I ended up just buying the shares weren't that expensive.
Speaker 2: It was like, how much was it per share? Like
Speaker 2: thirteen dollars a share when I first bought it, and
Speaker 2: I was like, I love this food, you know, maybe
Speaker 2: it's an extrapot way. So I bought, like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: however many shares you can get for a hundred bucks,
Speaker 2: And I just checked it because you were talking about it,
Speaker 2: and now the shares are sixteen dollars.
Speaker 1: I had to see you, right, because we don't we
Speaker 1: don't give stock advice. We don't.
Speaker 2: No, no, this is literally play money, Like this is
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars. I forgot about because I don't need
Speaker 2: it right now, and if I lose it, you know,
Speaker 2: that would suck. But I'm just I'm just playing around
Speaker 2: with it. You know, it's fun. I still got my
Speaker 2: four to one k. I know you still have a
Speaker 2: million different you know.
Speaker 3: Not my account coin, but yes, I have my safety accounts,
Speaker 3: my retirement account. This is definitely money that I've literally
Speaker 3: set aside to do this. And my dad is so cute.
Speaker 3: He was like, because he invests like in this kind
Speaker 3: of more a more traditional way, and so when I
Speaker 3: told him about Robinhood, he was like, oh, you know what,
Speaker 3: let me do it. And so I went to the
Speaker 3: house and set him up and my mom up and
Speaker 3: they each put three hundred dollars in and my dad's
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna play around with this. So it's just
Speaker 3: something fun, kind of like outside of like, you know,
Speaker 3: because my dad has taken care of their finances, this
Speaker 3: is just something new and fun. And I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 3: look at Daddy on his cell phone looking at his
Speaker 3: robin Hood.
Speaker 2: You know what my strategy is? Maybe, you know, I
Speaker 2: think what I've I've sort of I'm finally investing. But
Speaker 2: it's like, after I have absorbed all of this information
Speaker 2: for so long, like talking to different investors and like
Speaker 2: reading different books about the psychology of investing and what
Speaker 2: goes into it and the whole by it's very simple
Speaker 2: like for me, I'm just following the whole Warren Buffett strategy,
Speaker 2: which is a bilow sell high. So when I bought
Speaker 2: that when I bought that stock last week on the
Speaker 2: robin Hood app it's basically it's a red line if
Speaker 2: it's been going down, and it's green if it's going up.
Speaker 2: And at the time it was read and for me,
Speaker 2: I'm only like, my whole thing is I want to
Speaker 2: invest in companies when they're low, like when they've kind
Speaker 2: of had a bad quarter or something. But you realize
Speaker 2: you do the research and you're saying, hey, this company
Speaker 2: has a good future ahead of it, or it's been
Speaker 2: solid for a long time. Like I look at those
Speaker 2: opportunities as like, oh, it's a clearance sale. It's like
Speaker 2: one day sale. I mean, let me holler at this.
Speaker 2: So because the the the alternative of that whole the
Speaker 2: psychology of investing is that, Okay, it's the same thing
Speaker 2: happened in the housing market, right everyone's buying a house
Speaker 2: and back and through in this in the subprime lending crisis,
Speaker 2: everyone's buying a house or you know, everyone's buying let's oh,
Speaker 2: use Chipotle as an example. Everyone bought Chipotle stock, and
Speaker 2: the stock just everyone flocked and the stock gets inflated
Speaker 2: and inflated and inflated, and then something happens and there
Speaker 2: has to be some sort of correction, like for example,
Speaker 2: for Chipotle, the Holy Coli scare. I mean, the share
Speaker 2: is like plummeted and having recovered that much since then
Speaker 2: that I know of. So it's you know, you have
Speaker 2: this herd mentality where everyone wants to get in a
Speaker 2: good deal. That's why it's smart for you not to
Speaker 2: be like telling everyone what you're investing in, because what
Speaker 2: if there's a budgetiza effect. It'd be good for you,
Speaker 2: but bad for the twenty the two hundredth person to
Speaker 2: hear this podcast and go buy it, because one hundred
Speaker 2: and ninety nine folks have gone and buy it, and
Speaker 2: the shares are now going up in value because there's
Speaker 2: this you know demand all of a sudden, and that
Speaker 2: two hundred person is buying the stock at a way
Speaker 2: higher price, and then what if it for all they
Speaker 2: I have more to lose.
Speaker 1: So interesting. I'm just because I want people to do
Speaker 1: their I always say I'm not trying to be someone's
Speaker 1: financial guru. I'm your financial girlfriend.
Speaker 3: And you know, like your girlfriend's is like, oh you
Speaker 3: like my hair. Well, girl, you know there's YouTube channel
Speaker 3: you can learn how to do it. She's not there
Speaker 3: to be like, come sit in my chair, I'll color
Speaker 3: your hair for you. So it's like, no, I'm hearing
Speaker 3: more show to like share my journey and kind of
Speaker 3: like to share what's happening, and then for you to
Speaker 3: take that information, do your.
Speaker 1: Due diligence, do the work.
Speaker 3: You really should not be following anyone blindly, but Jesus
Speaker 3: if you're into that.

Speaker 1: I think it's time to boost or break Boost or
Speaker 1: break Booster break.
Speaker 2: It sounds like you really want to go first.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because people on the internet could be so mean.
Speaker 3: And I said, you know, I wasn't gonna I wasn't
Speaker 3: gonna say anything, But I'm like, you know what, I
Speaker 3: am gonna say anything because we have to do better,
Speaker 3: so I have like this. It's like, oh, I guess
Speaker 3: it's on Instagram. It's just the like an Instagram video
Speaker 3: of like when I was on the reel talking about
Speaker 3: credit blah blah blah, and then I'm like, hey, if
Speaker 3: you're having trouble with credit, everyone knows that I always
Speaker 3: do these free literature challenges.
Speaker 1: It's been like the last four years.
Speaker 3: So many people have been helped, right because ultimately I
Speaker 3: started the budgetiese to to be of.
Speaker 1: Service, right, so these videos are great. I never know.
Speaker 3: And then I started looking in the comments and like
Speaker 3: ninety nine percent of people are like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: thank you so much, or oh my gosh, you really
Speaker 3: helped me, or my I was able to buy a house.
Speaker 3: But then you get like probably like one percent that
Speaker 3: are literally telling me I should read one of the comments,
Speaker 3: but I'm not.
Speaker 1: You should you should budget for braces?
Speaker 2: Oh ye when makes celebrities read mean tweets. I don't
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 3: I mean that, I'm not gonna lie that will maybe
Speaker 3: kind of laugh a little bit, but the clever but honestly, like,
Speaker 3: so here's the thing. It just really blows my mind
Speaker 3: that you know, folks feel so free to like be
Speaker 3: It's one thing to think something mean, but I feel
Speaker 3: like it's like a whole other level to literally type it.
Speaker 3: One woman, her name was like a some Christian centric name,
Speaker 3: like like faithful to the Lord something like that, and
Speaker 3: she was just like going in on me and some
Speaker 3: and the like I said, I don't honestly, there's so
Speaker 3: many comments. I don't always get to read all them.
Speaker 3: And someone was like, how is your name faithful to
Speaker 3: the Lord?
Speaker 1: Very Christian?
Speaker 3: And she was like, no, I'm just trying to give
Speaker 3: her some advice so people could take her more seriously
Speaker 3: and she can be more successful. And they're like, more seriously, ma'am,
Speaker 3: you're watching her on National TV. I'm I think she's
Speaker 3: here her, I think she's here. So my break is
Speaker 3: just like, I mean, it doesn't that's honestly, this is
Speaker 3: the first time that it's happened like that. I think
Speaker 3: Instagram people feel a little bit more because I don't
Speaker 3: really get that on Facebook at all, but I think
Speaker 3: Instagram people feel a little bit more disconnected. I'm like,
Speaker 3: you as a human being, but yeah, well here's the thing,
Speaker 3: Like I've always considered I had braces when I was
Speaker 3: like normal teenager, but I also have this.
Speaker 1: Thing called tounuk thrust.
Speaker 3: So it's similar to have to having sucking your thumb
Speaker 3: when you're a kid, but with your thumb you can
Speaker 3: pull like a baby's thumb out of their mouth and
Speaker 3: be like, no, don't suck your thumb. But with tongue thrust,
Speaker 3: it's the same kind of motion, but it's just your
Speaker 3: tongue without the thumb, and so it's a soothing mechanism
Speaker 3: that baby like do, like my little niece has it.
Speaker 3: But it's very difficult to break the habit because you
Speaker 3: can't take a tongue out. And so even now to
Speaker 3: this day at thirty eight, like if I'm really stressed,
Speaker 3: I won't even notice that I'm like sucking my tongue.
Speaker 3: Or like if I go to sleep and I can't
Speaker 3: go to sleep, literally, I still will rock myself to
Speaker 3: sleep during that because it's something that I do up
Speaker 3: subconsciously and as a result, like it'll push your teeth out,
Speaker 3: there's nothing you could do about it. And even if
Speaker 3: I were to get braces again because my teeth were
Speaker 3: completely straight, then the tongue thrust, because your tongue is
Speaker 3: one of the strongest muscles in your body over time
Speaker 3: would migrate the teeth back. I mean, it's not in
Speaker 3: your business, but I just figured I would share that
Speaker 3: and say like, you just never know, and thank god,
Speaker 3: honestly that I'm in a space because if this would
Speaker 3: have caught me, I don't know in my twenties, you
Speaker 3: know what, this would have really rocked me and been like.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: But instead, like I screenshot and said that the dream
Speaker 3: or we were howling, like yo, she is so mean.
Speaker 2: I mean, do you have a quick boost? So my
Speaker 2: views this week it's going to be for the the
Speaker 2: secret binders groups on Facebook. Have you heard of these?
Speaker 2: Who you have it? Oh my god, Tiffany hasn't heard
Speaker 2: of something egg, So let me tell you. Do you remember,
Speaker 2: way way way back when two thousand was it two
Speaker 2: thousand and eight or two thousand and four election when
Speaker 2: Mitt and Romney was a candidate or he was at
Speaker 2: early he was like a candidate for the ticket, and
Speaker 2: at a debate, he he had this binder and he
Speaker 2: was talking about he was defending something about his stance
Speaker 2: of women's rights or something about women's healthcare, and he
Speaker 2: was like, I've got my binders full of women right here,
Speaker 2: and he just like it was like this iconicly stupid
Speaker 2: moment that that went, that went viral, and then it
Speaker 2: became like this thing binders full of women, Binders full
Speaker 2: of women. And in response to that or I don't know,
Speaker 2: I don't know when it all started, but these Facebook
Speaker 2: groups started to crop up. Binders full of women seeking
Speaker 2: financial jobs, Binders full of women seeking editorial jobs, bind
Speaker 2: Binders full of women seeking marketing jobs. All these kind
Speaker 2: of like secret Facebook groups where you could, based on
Speaker 2: like a good shared interest, gather together and to share sources,
Speaker 2: to share job leads, to share all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 2: And there are these specific Binders groups that I constantly
Speaker 2: use to recruit new writers and people for jobs, magnify
Speaker 2: money and it like just this week I found these
Speaker 2: three fabulous business writers through the Binders full of God,
Speaker 2: I'm going to mess it up. I use like three
Speaker 2: different groups. This is Binders full of finance and investing writers,
Speaker 2: and there's also Binders full of editors seeking freelance writers
Speaker 2: that I use sometimes, and there's there's all kinds. So
Speaker 2: if you just go to Facebook and search for Binders,
Speaker 2: if you're looking for a job, I'm sure there's other
Speaker 2: types of binders groups besides just you know, job groups.
Speaker 2: But it's it's really cool, and this is like, this
Speaker 2: is better in a lot of ways than like posting
Speaker 2: things on LinkedIn or sending out emails to my network,
Speaker 2: because you'll find people that you never would have found
Speaker 2: otherwise by going through these binds.
Speaker 3: I love that, honestly, I've never and you know, I'm
Speaker 3: like pop culture queen.
Speaker 1: Well you know it's between the two of us. Anyway,
Speaker 1: that's awesome. I mean, of course I've heard a binders
Speaker 1: full of women, but I didn't.
Speaker 2: Think you know more about pop culture than me. You
Speaker 2: just made a little uh what you call it a
Speaker 2: lamb chop reference at the top of this here show.
Speaker 1: It's true.
Speaker 2: I'll take you on any day.
Speaker 1: We shouldn't. We should have a pop culture off millennial
Speaker 1: versus one of my am I generation ex is that's
Speaker 1: the one went right before millennial X.
Speaker 3: Yes, your ex you know me and while about pop
Speaker 3: culture and I'm like, wait.
Speaker 2: What again, contradicting yourself?
Speaker 1: Tis true? Is true?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: I'm a dialard all back. No, that's honestly, I think
Speaker 3: that's awesome. I love when one thing I really do.
Speaker 3: I mean, although Facebook sometimes you just like, Oh Facebook,
Speaker 3: I just love that people are able to gather around
Speaker 3: specific topics and and really help each other. There's so
Speaker 3: many dope amazing Facebook groups, and I'm a part of
Speaker 3: Like I'm literally a part of a four C group.
Speaker 3: So you know how like hair is like yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: and so like mine is like super super super tight
Speaker 3: tight tight curls like wild's kind of like ringlets, and
Speaker 3: so I guess it's considered for C. And so I'm
Speaker 3: a part of a group about how best to take
Speaker 3: care of that kind of hair. I'm also a part
Speaker 3: of a sister locks group because that's the kind of
Speaker 3: locks I have, and a travel group and a Black
Speaker 3: travel group and a Black women's travel group. So yeah,
Speaker 3: Facebook groups that kind of hone in on specific things
Speaker 3: and allow you to gather around that thing, you know.
Speaker 3: And I may or may not have joined that beard
Speaker 3: gang just for a moment, just to get my gig along,
Speaker 3: But I'm.
Speaker 1: Out now, Okay, you got your fix? Questions? Do we
Speaker 1: get any good questions this week?

Speaker 2: ahead and to get directly to us, you can email
Speaker 2: us at Brandanmbispodcasts at gmail dot com. Thank you. So
Speaker 2: there's two ways to reach us, or hit us up
Speaker 2: on Facebook or Instagram anywhere else. I do read all
Speaker 2: of your questions and I like to pick once we
Speaker 2: haven't answered before. So if you have any interesting questions
Speaker 2: you haven't heard answer on the show before, send them
Speaker 2: on in. You never know. I love looking for questions
Speaker 2: that I think our listeners haven't heard from before. So
Speaker 2: without further ado, I'd like to take a question and
Speaker 2: do let me know if you prefer to go anonymous
Speaker 2: or buy your name, because otherwise I'll just use your
Speaker 2: name and call you out put you on blast like
Speaker 2: I'm about to put my listener Nicole on blast. Nicole says,
Speaker 2: I know both of you ladies recently purchase homes with
Speaker 2: your husband's congrats. What advice would you give to an
Speaker 2: unreari maried couple for purchasing property together? Good idea or
Speaker 2: bad idea. Would either of you have purchased a home
Speaker 2: with your significant other if you were not married to them?
Speaker 2: Thanks love the show.
Speaker 3: So my knee jerk reaction is, oh hellll no.
Speaker 2: So which question to buying with your to buying with
Speaker 2: someone you're not married to, or that.
Speaker 1: You would you have?
Speaker 2: Would you have? Okay?
Speaker 1: Fair enough?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So, because I mean, well here's why. It's just because
Speaker 3: not to say that marriage is to end all be all,
Speaker 3: because it's not. But like I mean, once you take
Speaker 3: away the love part of marriage, at the end of
Speaker 3: the day, it's literally a contract. And so it's a
Speaker 3: contract that that that holds certain protection for both parties.
Speaker 3: And so buying a home, it's like that's a major
Speaker 3: Like you know, it's probably one of the most expensive
Speaker 3: during top three most expensive things you'll do in your lifetime.
Speaker 3: So doing so without like a contract, basically you put
Speaker 3: yourself at risk, you know. And so if you were
Speaker 3: going to do that, then I would put a contract
Speaker 3: in place of what happens if we're no longer together,
Speaker 3: I don't want this home, so I would enter into it.
Speaker 3: If I was going to buy a home with my
Speaker 3: non married to significant other with a literal contract in place,
Speaker 3: saying like.
Speaker 2: Well, those are called tenants in common I believe, Okay,
Speaker 2: that's the name of that joint contract. Like if you
Speaker 2: wanted to buy a property with a sibling or a
Speaker 2: friend or okay, other that type of arrangement, but not
Speaker 2: just what would happen if you know, you decided to
Speaker 2: move out or you guys broke up. Also, this just
Speaker 2: happened to someone that I know recently. She purchased a
Speaker 2: her name was on the mortgage. She was living with
Speaker 2: a significant other, they weren't married, and although he was
Speaker 2: putting money toward the mortgage payment while they were together,
Speaker 2: when they broke up, she is the only one on
Speaker 2: the mortgage, right, so she has to all of a
Speaker 2: sudden assume that responsibility of basically a mortgage payment doubled overnight,
Speaker 2: and she had factored in his income when she got
Speaker 2: the mortgage, and it became very difficult for her to
Speaker 2: keep up with it. And meanwhile, he's like, you know,
Speaker 2: skating away scot free because his name was not on
Speaker 2: the mortgage. So it can go either way, Like it
Speaker 2: could be a liability to put your you know, take
Speaker 2: out a mortgage with someone you're not married too. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's a liability either you're whether you're married or not.
Speaker 2: If you're if your name's on the mortgage together, Yeah,
Speaker 2: the same token. If you're the one living with someone
Speaker 2: and your name is not on the deed of the
Speaker 2: house and yet you're paying money toward their mortgage payment,
Speaker 2: then you're not actually gonna be owed anything. Like if
Speaker 2: they decide if you break up and they sell the
Speaker 2: house at a profit, although you've been helping them build
Speaker 2: equity in the home by making mortgage payments, they're not
Speaker 2: going to owe you anything. So I would say if
Speaker 2: you're if you're gonna do this, like do it the
Speaker 2: right way, get that tenants and tenants in common agreement,
Speaker 2: and make sure that you like your name's actually on
Speaker 2: the deed so that you actually own it. Like kicking
Speaker 2: in money, you know, for the mortgage payment does not
Speaker 2: mean that you have any right to the home, you know,
Speaker 2: if something, if things were to go set later on.
Speaker 3: Then I yeah, I just it's it's very because even
Speaker 3: before because me and Superman were living together before we
Speaker 3: got married, and so even then we didn't really cal
Speaker 3: mingle money that much. We had one joint savings account
Speaker 3: that started off as our vacation account and then was
Speaker 3: like then became our wedding account, and then because we
Speaker 3: didn't really have a big old wedding, then became our
Speaker 3: house account, which is what it is right now, like
Speaker 3: house like kind of like when we buy our next
Speaker 3: property investing account. So you know, you just have to
Speaker 3: be mindful that, like, because even in marriage, I mean,
Speaker 3: there's no guarantee when you're when it comes to money.
Speaker 3: You want to kind of begin with the end in mind,
Speaker 3: not when it comes to marriage, but when it comes
Speaker 3: to money. And so even when it comes to your spouse,
Speaker 3: So like, what would happen if you know, because even
Speaker 3: with like me and Superman we have a prenuptial agreement
Speaker 3: quite honestly, because I had the well, what would happen
Speaker 3: if what does that kind of look like? And it's fair.
Speaker 3: It's just like when you versus yours, mine's mine and
Speaker 3: what's ours? We split down the middle. So it's not
Speaker 3: some huge, you know thing, But I just wanted to
Speaker 3: just make sure that he was protected, I was protected,
Speaker 3: and so yeah, I would just be careful about it.
Speaker 3: And if you're going to do it, have a contract
Speaker 3: in place beforehand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting question. Thanks Nicole.
Speaker 1: Yeah, great question.
Speaker 2: Okay, so next question comes from listener to Kia. Takia
Speaker 2: has a question about Tiffany's jump like Jordan method. Tiffany,
Speaker 2: what is the jump like Jordan method? First of all,
Speaker 2: before I read the question.
Speaker 3: So the jump like Jordan method is just a method
Speaker 3: that you can use to pay off your credit card
Speaker 3: every month quickly, so it can help to raise your
Speaker 3: credit score quickly. I say jump like Jordan because Jordan
Speaker 3: used to jump like it just used to look it
Speaker 3: looked unreal. And when you pay off a credit card
Speaker 3: or any really debt in full every single month, like literally,
Speaker 3: if you paid off your mortgage and full every single month,
Speaker 3: you know, that would be awesome. But obviously most people
Speaker 3: can't do that. But most people you know, are able
Speaker 3: to pay off five bucks a month on their credit card.
Speaker 1: And so doing that, not only are you showing, hey.
Speaker 3: I can't pay off for debt in full, but you're
Speaker 3: actively using your card so or your card doesn't close.
Speaker 3: But there's something about paying off a debt in full
Speaker 3: every month. My friend who's a bankruptcy lawyer, this is
Speaker 3: what she suggested to her clients who just had bankruptcy
Speaker 3: and they got their first card.
Speaker 1: She was like, there's something about paying off a debt
Speaker 1: and full.
Speaker 3: It didn't matter about the amount, it was more about
Speaker 3: the habit of paying off a debt and full that
Speaker 3: really had an effect on your score. And so yeah,
Speaker 3: it's just it's really critical though for the method that
Speaker 3: you let. If you're gonna charge your card, say like
Speaker 3: five bucks and automated. So let's just say the gym,
Speaker 3: and the gym is ten bucks a month planet fitness,
Speaker 3: So if you're going to charge your card and or
Speaker 3: Planet Fitness is going to charge it automatically, that you
Speaker 3: wait to pay it by the statement date, like or
Speaker 3: basically the date when you actually get your statements, say
Speaker 3: pay it now, because that means it's been recorded to
Speaker 3: the credit bureaus. Hey, this card was used and then
Speaker 3: you paid off in full. If you pay it off
Speaker 3: too quickly, it looks like you never had a balance.
Speaker 2: Okay, whoops, because I think it's about adding an authorized
Speaker 2: user to the card.
Speaker 3: Oh no, that's just I just call that like piggybacking,
Speaker 3: that's what they call that.
Speaker 2: So this is the way to improve your credit score, though,
Speaker 2: typically is to add yourself as an authorized user, let
Speaker 2: me let me read Takiya's question real quick. So Takiya said,
Speaker 2: could okay, So she's talking about being added as an
Speaker 2: authorized user to boost your credit score. She says, could
Speaker 2: one person be added as an authorized user on a
Speaker 2: new credit card that the primary card holder just received
Speaker 2: to make the person who's been added as an authorized
Speaker 2: user's credit score jump, even if it's a new credit card.
Speaker 3: So typically the way, the best way that authories used
Speaker 3: to look up my little sister just text me and she's.
Speaker 1: Says, so what about that offer I use to hook up.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, whatever, girl.
Speaker 3: So typically it's in order for it to really work,
Speaker 3: you want them to inherit good behavior or you want
Speaker 3: to inherit good behavior previous good behavior, and so you're
Speaker 3: wanting a card that's been used. I mean, it's not
Speaker 3: it just doesn't make sense otherwise. I mean, yeah, you
Speaker 3: can add them to a new card and like, or
Speaker 3: you could be added to a new card and that
Speaker 3: person is going to pay it off regularly, so it'll
Speaker 3: look good for you. But if you want to see
Speaker 3: the biggest impact, and it's not a huge impact, but
Speaker 3: if you want to see the biggest impact, you really
Speaker 3: want to be added to a card that already has
Speaker 3: been used and has a good history of usage.
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't realize that would be that you would
Speaker 2: be inheriting their good behavior on that card as well
Speaker 2: as Oh I thought I always thought it was. I mean,
Speaker 2: I just assumed I didn't actually research it, but assume
Speaker 2: that it was just you were getting credit for their
Speaker 2: behavior starting for when you or advocate authorized user.
Speaker 1: No, that's what that's what makes it so great. It's
Speaker 1: that you know and a lot of people use it.
Speaker 3: But a lot of people use that method, but it's
Speaker 3: not if you're looking for one hundred points that way,
Speaker 3: that's not going to happen.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Another thing about being an authorized user is that, yes,
Speaker 2: it can help you boost your credit, but you have
Speaker 2: to make sure that your credit that's actually being reported
Speaker 2: on your credit report, because not all credit card companies
Speaker 2: actually report the credit behavior of authorized users to the bureaus.
Speaker 2: So just double check that exactly exactly.
Speaker 3: No, that's you always want to make sure whatever the
Speaker 3: kind of tricks that you're using.
Speaker 1: But both of those work really well.
Speaker 3: Honestly, I used to jump like Jordan method when my
Speaker 3: credit score had went down to a five forty seven
Speaker 3: after my foreclosure. So one of the things that I
Speaker 3: did was before my credit score went down, Like I
Speaker 3: knew it was gonna go down. I was like, m
Speaker 3: you find to get this house for closed upon you're
Speaker 3: gonna lose all these points. Let me get two cards.
Speaker 3: I had one card that I already had at zero,
Speaker 3: and I got another one. So I did it with
Speaker 3: two cards and paid them off in full every single month.
Speaker 3: And it took a little over a year and some change,
Speaker 3: but I went from the five forty seven to like
Speaker 3: a seven fifty sixty something and now I'm at a
Speaker 3: an a oh two despite having a foreclosure still on
Speaker 3: my credit word because it hasn't been ten years yet.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Yeah, thank you guys for your excellent questions.
Speaker 2: Always appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Excellent.
Speaker 3: Oh wait, before we before we leave, we got to look.
Speaker 3: We forgot our Instagram peeps.
