Like once 53 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 3: a minute. 54 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. I do see. I'm obsessed, especially 55 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: like what I do, especially when I do, like a 56 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 2: post or something I have to say. So, yes, we 57 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 2: are like twenty five hundred dollars away, so we're ninety 58 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: three percent funded fourteen days ago. There's some key things 59 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: that I'm learning, so things I would have done differently. 60 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: Probably the number one thing I would have done differently 61 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 2: is from the very beginning, the higher ticket items Like 62 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 2: I had some fun higher ticket items like ooh, come, 63 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 2: I'll fly you to New York to come meet me. Girl, 64 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 2: nobody cares, and then I didn't even see that. Wait, yes, 65 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 2: well we said the book exactly And that's what I learned, 66 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: which was actually really cool because I thought I had 67 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: to have these higher ticket items that were like these 68 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: like fun things, but no knowing what I know now, 69 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: I should have had more higher ticket items that were 70 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 2: just like get the book. And I've been adjusting since 71 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: you can. You could always go and add new rewards. 72 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: But it was just a good lesson that, Like one, 73 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: I should have had bulk book buys from the very beginning, 74 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 2: because I'm noticing, like, you know, there's trending up that 75 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: people are buying five, six, ten books and I'm like wow, 76 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: But I didn't have that in the very beginning, especially 77 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: for like the big launch. I could have. Honestly, we 78 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 2: probably would have already hit our our fundraising goal. And two, 79 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: if I just would have pushed up the price per 80 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 2: tier maybe like five bucks, that would have made a 81 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: huge difference. I was nervous to because I was like, oh, 82 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: lot of people don't want to get it for you know, 83 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: twenty instead of twenty five for thirty five. But I 84 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: should have because I keep forgetting that classic Tiffany, I 85 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: know you know what it is, because I was like, well, 86 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 2: I don't want people to feel like I'm at a 87 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: book for twenty five dollars. It's like, no, you're you're 88 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: contributing so I can use that money to buy books, 89 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 2: and in exchange for contributing and donating, I'm giving you 90 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 2: a book. But it's not like Kickstart, you're actually buying 91 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 2: the book. Like it's not you know what I mean. 92 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: I just felt weird, like, I you know, does it 93 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 2: feel weird to say I'm buying a book for thirty bucks? 94 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 2: And although I think I made it pretty clear and 95 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 2: the Kickstarter copy, that really that when you're backing this project, 96 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: that the money is going so I can order books 97 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 2: for kids that don't have access, and I can hire 98 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 2: teachers to write additional financial education curriculum that we could 99 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 2: give away for free. But that I know now, I 100 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 2: wouldn't have been so afraid to price just a little 101 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 2: bit higher. I think people would have paid it happily 102 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 2: because it wasn't just in exchange for a book, it 103 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 2: was to do good work. So but I mean, I'm 104 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 2: happy with the way. I mean, obviously that's gone. 105 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, of course you're nitpicking, Yes, that's what you do, 106 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 3: but it is I mean, it's freaking amazing that you're 107 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 3: like ninety nine point nine percent away from hitting your 108 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: Like some projects just just die. Yeah, just fizzle out 109 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 3: and die, you know. 110 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, So I have to say the moms and dads 111 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 2: are amazing.

But I mean, god, Vanessa's 187 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 3: speech and how she got herself on that stage, I 188 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 3: doubt in this place she's a hero. 189 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 2: I don't know, honestly. Like and then, first of all, 190 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 2: some of the things I liked it. There was like 191 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: little reprieves, like when Michael Jordan was like, damn it, Kobe, 192 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 2: you know, I love you got me. I'm gonna be 193 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 2: doing seeing more crying memes for the next four years. 194 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: And I love that it was like I thought that 195 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 2: was allowed. 196 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 3: He's like, I love that he knows he's a meme. 197 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 2: Yes, I was like, he knows for Michael, I know, 198 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 2: but he was like, whatever your worth is. So honestly 199 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: it was. Yeah, it was beautiful and obviously super sad, 200 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: and it just it's just a testament to a life, 201 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 2: you know, imperfect life, but still a life well lived, 202 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 2: you know. Yeah. 203 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 3: And I also feel like it's given people a chance 204 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 3: to just grieve anyone they've known who's gone too soon, 205 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 3: and just another reminder of how precious and short life 206 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 3: is and the importance of good dads. And I think 207 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 3: it was a post that Lovey Ajai did I say 208 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 3: that right posted on Instagram where she kind of acknowledged 209 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 3: that in a way, one of the silver linings, you know, 210 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 3: albeit small, from Kobe's passing, is that it's given men, 211 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 3: especially men of color, and opportunity to say it's okay 212 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 3: to grieve openly and to share your feelings and your emotions, 213 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 3: and to look around that room and see all these big, 214 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 3: tough athletes really showing their heart, yes, writing tributes to him, 215 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 3: you know, using their voice to acknowledge their pain and 216 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 3: not just like you know, tough it out and you know, 217 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 3: as they say in sports, not that I am so sports, 218 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 3: you know, savvy, but just fight through the pain just 219 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 3: to walk it off. You know. That struck me because 220 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 3: I think that's true. I think it has given people, 221 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 3: especially men, a chance to say it's okay to admit 222 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 3: that you're hurting. 223 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, and honestly too too. What I like too that 224 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: kind of came of it. It was like, you know, 225 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: when when everybody was just like it was a celebration 226 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 2: of black fatherhood, you know that whole girl dad, I mean, 227 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 2: I know there was I just loved seeing that that, Like, 228 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 2: you know that because people will always tell you too. 229 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 3: It's like what an you know what a representation of 230 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 3: ye what? You know, like a black father are really 231 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 3: there for his daughter, really there for his family. 232 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 2: And happy that he has daughters because people will always 233 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 2: say stuff like poor you. Like even as a kid, 234 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 2: I would hear people tell my dad that when he said, 235 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 2: like I have all daughters, it would be a lot 236 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 2: of poor you, poor your father, poor you.

So I just 239 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: love that that, like, because people will always say, oh, 240 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 2: girls are so much harder to raise than boys, and 241 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 2: I don't subscribe to that children are hard to raise, period. 242 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 2: It's just different, you know. Like I see my sister 243 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 2: with her her two kids. She's got a boy and 244 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 2: a girl, and I just see that it's different. It's 245 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 2: not harder. 246 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 3: You know, they will all pan poop on you. 247 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 2: What m I tell you? Like even you know how 248 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,719 Speaker 2: you said that rio and like reverted back was like 249 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 2: I was on the bottle, but now I want the boob, 250 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 2: And now I'm I guess because boob is out here, 251 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 2: I guess I'll take the bottle. It's strange how children 252 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 2: would back. Like Amelia was so good potty training. She 253 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 2: was like one and a half using the potty. Now 254 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 2: that she's turning three, I'm like, girl, she's like, he 255 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 2: didn't make it, and you're happy. 256 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 3: And I don't call that a regression. 257 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 2: Yes, I don't know why she's progressing. My sister was like, honestly, 258 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 2: no less than she went to a visit THEMN She's like, 259 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 2: no less than three times when I was there she 260 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 2: missed the toilet. Like I think what's happening is that 261 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 2: she's like tested, Like let's see, like I want to 262 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 2: keep playing. I think I can do I think I 263 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 2: can make it, and then it's like literally she'll get 264 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 2: up and she's like, oh, didn't make it. You're like, 265 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 2: you know what, go get a diaper. 266 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 3: We're not playing this game, you know, So I just 267 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 3: go put a swimsuit on. 268 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 2: But it's crazy how kids are regressing. And I'm like, 269 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 2: I wonder, like why that is that, Like, you know, 270 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 2: they'll be doing so good and then one day be like, psych, 271 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 2: I'm actually not gonna sleep in the night, or I'm 272 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 2: gonna poo pull on myself or whatever that is.

Oh, 495 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 3: a new listener, My question is, how do you go 496 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,719 Speaker 3: about buying stock for children or other little people in 497 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 3: your life? I want to give my godson, who is 498 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 3: one years old, a long term financial gift every year, 499 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 3: but I'm trying to figure out where to start. I 500 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 3: listened to an episode not too long ago where Maybe 501 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 3: talked about target date funds, so I'm considering that, but 502 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 3: I think it'd be cool to get him actual stock. 503 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 3: Is he too young to have stock in his name? 504 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 3: Should I wait till he's older so there isn't much 505 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 3: risk from now until he's about eighteen or twenty five? 506 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 3: Thanks for your help. Oh what a good godmother. 507 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 2: Yes, I've done this. 508 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 3: Lots to unpack here. Yeah, you want to start? 509 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 2: Yes? So what I did was at first I was 510 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 2: just like saving, like saving money for my god children 511 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 2: and mind, this is my nephew. Now I've such I've then, 512 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 2: so I've switched it over to to your point, a 513 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 2: target date fund, and it's like a I think it's 514 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 2: a custodio account. I just did. I like Angelie helped 515 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 2: me to set it up where we just aggressively because 516 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 2: they're so young and they're all under like the age 517 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 2: of five, we just aggressively invest. So it's a mutual fund. 518 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 2: I'm not investing in individual stocks for them, although that's 519 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 2: something you certainly can do, but I just wanted to. Like, 520 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 2: so what I do for their birthdays is instead of 521 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 2: really getting them presence presents, sometimes I do, but typically 522 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 2: I just put money in that fund now, so it 523 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 2: just makes it easier. And their parents are like, you know, 524 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 2: especially when kids are little and everyone's kind of giving 525 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 2: them toys, and to strut to the matter, is they 526 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 2: rather the box anyway? I think it's just a better 527 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 2: place to put money. So that's what I did. I 528 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 2: opened up a target date fund, a mutual fund, and 529 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 2: I just put money in there every holiday that makes sense, 530 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 2: and their birthdays. 531 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, because sodial is the right word for that. So 532 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 3: if you have I think under the age of eighteen, 533 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 3: you can, and a custodial account, which means as the adult, 534 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 3: you control it, and then I think when they turn eighteen, 535 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 3: the kids can take control of it. I we've gotten actually, 536 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 3: in my husband's goddaughter, we got her a few stockpile 537 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,959 Speaker 3: gift cards which if you really just want, you know, 538 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 3: to buy some stock. Stockpile and there's a couple other 539 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 3: companies that you can buy fractional shares of stocks, so 540 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 3: you know, if you want to give them Google and 541 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 3: it sounds awesome, but Google's worth like, I don't know, 542 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 3: what is it, like a thousand bucks? Yeah, I'm making 543 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 3: that up. And you have money like that, you can 544 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 3: get her, like or him a twenty five dollars, you know, 545 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 3: fractional share in Google and a twenty five dollars fractional 546 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 3: share in Tesla or whatever it is that you want, 547 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 3: and then you know it's it's actual stock. It's also 548 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 3: a custodial type account that you know, it's a good 549 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 3: way to teach or fun way for them to learn 550 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 3: about the market. Now, your one year old, I imagine, 551 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 3: probably isn't going to sit down with you and learn 552 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 3: about the stock market. And in that case, I almost 553 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 3: want to say, for me, those those like stock gift 554 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 3: cards are fun, kind of gimmicky, you know, fun ways 555 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 3: to like learn and teach about the market. But for 556 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 3: long term investing for a child, I feel like the 557 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 3: way Tiffany's doing it makes the most sense. It's more practical. 558 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 3: You're not just investing in a couple of different companies, 559 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 3: you know. When you get a target date fund, you know, 560 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 3: and when you invest that in mutual funds, which are 561 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 3: it's kind of like getting a sample of all the 562 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 3: different stock that you could invest in versus just picking 563 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 3: just a few, and it spreads out your risk and 564 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 3: it kind of takes the guesswork out of picking what 565 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 3: you're going to invest in. I think that makes more sense. 566 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 3: And so you could open a custodial IRA at you know, 567 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,239 Speaker 3: any brokerage firm wherever you have your four to one 568 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 3: K or your retirement fund now is probably a fine 569 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 3: place to start. 570 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly so. And also too, it doesn't have to 571 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 2: be a retirement account. It could just be like an account, 572 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 2: you know, Like I think sometimes people think that like 573 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 2: you have to do like a retirement account, and it's 574 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 2: like you can, but it doesn't. I mean, it's helpful. 575 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 2: But it doesn't have to be like you can open 576 00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 2: just like I always call it like a like a 577 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 2: I call it like my wealth building account because I 578 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 2: have my retirement accounts, but I also have my wealth 579 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 2: building accounts. But yeah, sending aside and then typically what 580 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 2: I do, honestly, especially when they're little, I still might 581 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,959 Speaker 2: like send a book or whatever, but then I'll just 582 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 2: like take a screenshot and send to Like my sister's like, look, 583 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 2: I put money, and I put the money on account 584 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 2: for the baby, and they're. 585 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 3: Like, Okay, thanks, that's great, that's amazing mm. 586 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 2: Hm, because it just makes it, you know, easier, like 587 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 2: I said, especially when they're little, like honestly a two 588 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 2: to like five or six year old. I mean what 589 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 2: my sister dud was, I think is hilarious because she 590 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 2: was the first to have kids, so they were getting 591 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 2: so many toys that she like rolls them out. She's like, girl, 592 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 2: they still have half their Christmas gifts still, Like She's like, 593 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 2: I'll put them up so that way it feels like 594 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 2: new things all year. 595 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 3: You know, Oh that's clever. 596 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 2: So that way she's like. So in other words, that's 597 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 2: why when I found out she did that. I was like, 598 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 2: so that you really don't need new gifts. She's like, 599 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 2: I really don't. That's why I was like, well, let 600 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 2: me just put this money. If I'm going to spend 601 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 2: fifty bucks on Roman, I might as well put fifty 602 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 2: bucks on his account since he has to even open 603 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 2: up all his gifts from his last you know, last birthday. 604 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 3: Know, yeah, I'm not ready for all the stuff. I'm 605 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 3: a little afraid of the stuff. And then for me 606 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 3: as a parent, if you open up an account where 607 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 3: people can contribute to it, that's also really nice. Like 608 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 3: if you open up your account, then anyone can contribute 609 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 3: to it. You can like send her on a link. 610 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 3: I think some accounts do that now, especially if it's 611 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 3: like a college savings fund, and. 612 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 2: Makes sure to put the like one of the things 613 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 2: I made sure to do was to make the parent 614 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 2: the beneficiary.

I 653 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 3: just had gotten like eighty dollars worth of divacurl products 654 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 3: for my hair. If you're a curly hair girl out there, 655 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 3: you probably have used Divacurl. They've been around forever. And 656 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 3: then I saw something that the company. I followed them 657 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 3: on Instagram and they posted this like weird message, you know, 658 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 3: about how they value their customers, and they have a 659 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 3: note to their customers on their website, YadA YadA, And 660 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 3: I'm like, what has happened? And I go to their 661 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 3: website and they are basically saying, you know, we've heard 662 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 3: from you guys about issues with our products. We're investigating it, 663 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 3: blah blah blah. And then I have to like go 664 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 3: backwards to figure out what's happened. And apparently there's a 665 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 3: class action lawsuit against Diva Curl from all these women 666 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 3: who claim that their products have made their hair fall out. Yeah, 667 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 3: and enough claims for the company to issue a statement 668 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 3: like that. I mean, it sounds like scary stuff. And 669 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 3: I have I mean, I haven't used I'm like a product, 670 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 3: I'm not very loyal to different I like to try 671 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 3: different things and whatever. But yeah, I had just bought 672 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 3: this huge, like forty dollars bottle of their conditioner and 673 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 3: their leaven conditioner and some like gel or whatever, and 674 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 3: I had started to use it again for the first 675 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 3: time in like a month or two. And I now 676 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 3: I'm looking at eighty bucks that I've just I guess 677 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 3: I just throw it down the drain. I don't know 678 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 3: what to do. So, but if y'all are listening, I 679 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 3: know the company. They said they're responding to people in 680 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 3: the comments on their Instagram saying, you know, contact our 681 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 3: customer service line if you're interested in a refund. I 682 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 3: haven't done that yet. I don't even know if I 683 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 3: have the receipt for the stuff that I bought. I 684 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 3: might eat somewhere. But if you're a divacurl user, I mean, 685 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 3: it sucks because they don't seem to know for sure 686 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 3: what the issue is, and I know it's going to 687 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 3: take them a long time to figure out if at 688 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 3: all there was an issue. But they are. They are 689 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,719 Speaker 3: like the Curly Hair brand, you know, they were one 690 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 3: of the pioneers. 691 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 2: I wondered, like, yeah, I'd be curious to know. I mean, 692 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 2: I don't. I mean, obviously I don't know because I 693 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 2: is it like because just so many people use it, 694 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 2: and those folks I don't know because you just don't 695 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 2: know because you're like your hair is not falling out. 696 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 2: But just because your hair is not falling out doesn't 697 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 2: mean someone else's hair is not falling out. 698 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 3: I know. And I've really read because like you know, 699 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 3: people can claim anything, but I really read some testimonials 700 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 3: from like Divacare hair stylists because now they have salons 701 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 3: who have said I do not ever. I use the 702 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 3: products on myself and all my clients and we all 703 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 3: have hair loss issues. And I mean I guess, like 704 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 3: where there's smoke, there's fire. But like I said, it's 705 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 3: enough for me to be like maybe I won't take 706 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 3: a chance. Yeah I'll take the hit, And you know, 707 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 3: another day, another hair product in my life.
