Speaker 1: So this has come up a lot. So this is

28
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: actually not from the mailback, but this has just.

29
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: Come up a lot. Me and Mandy we're talking like

30
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: you know, kiki and giggling.

31
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: We always do on like some of the some of

32
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: the goings on in our community. When it comes to

33
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: scam it feels like, right, Mandy, in the last especially

34
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: during COVID and beyond, a big uptick in scamme rations.

35
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially around financial I mean financial and business and

36
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: finances in business. And by that it's like do this

37
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: thing to get rich, do this thing to start your

38
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 2: own business, or do this thing so you never have

39
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: to work again. And it all sounds really too good

40
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: to be true. But I guess the scam that like

41
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about today, or you're gonna talk

42
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: about because you're going to educate me on it is

43
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: like a case of a celebrity lends their face to

44
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: what turns out to be a scam. That's when your

45
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: team fails you.

46
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: And I know Rose and Logan would never put you.

47
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: And here's the thing.

48
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: So so in our space, like Mandy and I really like,

49
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: well Mandy you know is new to the other side

50
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: of the financial education space. You know, she was on

51
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: like the like the corporate side at you know, as

52
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: a as an editor working at Yahoo Finance, like on

53
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: the journalists side, and then I've been on the like

54
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: I guess, the personality side of personal finance.

55
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: You know, it seemed then, you know, people kind of

56
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 3: are on the up and up right. I don't know that.

57
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: I remember one time you did say there was an

58
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: article you had to make sure like looking at bank

59
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: accounts because someone had lied about how much they made

60
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: in a.

61
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 3: Business or something like that.

62
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: You know, man, so you had to be you know,

63
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: but that was the biggest thing back then. It's like,

64
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: oh I made more than I said. It was like,

65
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: show me your bank account in order for me to

66
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: you know, write this article. Now the girls are out

67
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: here like every type of investment, like on the total

68
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: real estate fund, and that guy who you know, I

69
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: think he collected like twelve million dollars worth of business

70
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: has basically lost it all. And there's just so many

71
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: financial scams where you know, people promised she among us

72
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: returns you know, uh Bernie made out as scams where

73
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: it's it's period scam, period schemes. And the worst is

74
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: like these scams where they will tell you periods a

75
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: pyramid look at me period?

76
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: Who child that period? Oh my god? Where of those?

77
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: Those are interesting pyramids?

78
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I pay you a lot of money if

79
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: he promised me, I never had to have one again.

80
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: Pyramid schemes, right, but recently.

81
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: I'm like, so you also you've really meant Ponzi.

82
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: But Ponzi yeah, no word pyramid skins. You know, the pyramid.

83
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: Schemes like Bernie made Off wasn't a pyramid. He was

84
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: a ponzi.

85
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was a ponzi. I didn't mean ponzi. But

86
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: also pyramid is that is a scam? It is, right, Yeah,

87
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 3: But there's all these games happening.

88
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: And so the most reason one that that has gotten

89
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: like really blown up is DJ Envy.

90
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 3: He is a very popular DJ on the Breakfast Club.

91
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: And club boys are always getting into trouble.

92
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 3: So you know, well, you know, Charlemagne is just because

93
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: his mouth. But he partnered with the along with Penias Is.

94
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: He partnered with I guess a gentleman named mister Penias

95
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: and he was like, I guess he was a real

96
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: estate investor and he you know, DJ Envy promoted him

97
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: on the platform.

98
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: It seems like they partnered. I mean this is all.

99
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: Alleged because you knows. And so mister Pinias then went

100
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: ahead and basically it seemed seemingly has taken the money

101
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: and not done what he said he was gonna do.

102
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: As I read a little bit deeper, it seemed like,

103
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: and I mean, I have been victim of a scam too.

104
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about kind of like the breakdown of scams, right.

105
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: Is that you would, don't you know, you you would

106
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: invest whatever amount of money and you were supposed to

107
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: get thirty percent, like you know, from the project. So

108
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, you invest fifty thousand dollars

109
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: he was supposed to buy you know, use that money

110
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: to write homes or other commercial properties or whatever, and

111
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: then you would get thirty percent you know of like

112
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: you know, whatever that investment was going to yield. Which

113
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: as I did dug a little deeper, people were like,

114
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: that doesn't actually make sense to get thirty percent because

115
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: if you were to like borrow money from a hard

116
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: money lender. So a hard money lender is someone who

117
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: has a bunch of cash, and you're a real estate

118
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: investor and you don't have the cash, and so you say, hey, Mandy,

119
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: can I get one hundred thousand dollars from you, and

120
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: in a month, when I fix up the property and

121
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: sell it or whatever, I'll give you your hundred thousand

122
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: dollars back plus ten percent, which is a lot of money.

123
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: So you get one hundred and ten thousand dollars back

124
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: or you get the property back. So if a hard

125
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: money lender it's about ten fifteen percent. Why would I

126
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: do an investment with somebody and give them thirty percent

127
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: when I could just do a hard money lender, which

128
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: is easier quote unquote, And so those numbers basically adding up,

129
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: and sure enough they didn't. A lot of people lost

130
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: a lot of money. But the reason why it's blowing

131
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: up is that DJ Envy is famous, you know, breakfast clubs,

132
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: like lots of views, and it's like, how did you

133
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: get yourself mixed up with someone who was not truthful?

134
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: Now Here are some of the components of a scam

135
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: that I have been seeing this it's odd in our community. Mean,

136
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen this, but like so

137
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: for example, Jay Morrison who did the Tulsa real estate.

138
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 3: The premise is hey, same.

139
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: Thing with mister Pinies who saw all this money allegedly

140
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: I am an ex convict, which I'm like, ooh, stop

141
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: right there, begin and end right there. No, shay, you know,

142
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: I know sometimes people make mistakes who they're younger, but

143
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: not with my money, honey. I am someone who just

144
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 1: came home and I'm making a better life for myself.

145
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: And because I just came home and I didn't have

146
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: access to like other ways of like work or whatever,

147
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: I have started. Whatever this venture is, you should invest

148
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: in it. So I'm like, I don't know what it

149
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,119
Speaker 1: is about our community, but why is that a selling

150
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: point that I used to be in jail for whatever reason?

151
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm not here to shame someone who

152
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: was once incarcerated. But if you've been incarcerated, especially if

153
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: it's due to fraud, I'm like, doesn't that sound like

154
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: that's what you do?

155
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: Like yeah, so that about wallf of Wall Street guy,

156
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: I mean like he's you know, out and now making

157
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: a lot of money.

158
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, So that's one.

159
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: I feel like the anatomy of a scam is one

160
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: the character of the person and kind of like what

161
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: their background is. Two, you know, sharing things that are

162
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: too good to be true, a thirty percent return when

163
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: everybody else is giving five or six percent. Is it's

164
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's one thing to say I'm doing an

165
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: eight percent return everybody else is giving six, but thirty

166
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: when everybody else is giving ten. You know, the good,

167
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: the too good to be true part. It's a huge

168
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,559
Speaker 1: red flag when it comes to scams, right when someone says, like, now,

169
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: the problem of a of a really good scam is

170
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: that some people will make money, because that's the part

171
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: is that what happens is usually the people who jump

172
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: in early, they indeed get their fifty twenty thousand whatever

173
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh my gosh, this thing's legitimate. And

174
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: that's the point, is that a really good scam will

175
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: pay some people in the beginning because it will attract

176
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: other uninitiated people and then they get to keep their money.

177
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: So that's another anatomy of a scam that the.

178
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: Too good to be true part actually is paid out

179
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: early on, but by the time you get there, not

180
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: so much. And anything else I'm missing, like for when

181
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: people are looking at scams like that, like ugh.

182
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: I think the big one also is well, the pressure

183
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 2: to make a decision quickly. So and this also happened.

184
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: Mean's a sales tactic. You know, in general, it's one

185
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: of those things that's like, it's not the tactic is

186
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: in a scam, but this tactic can certainly get you,

187
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 2: make you more likely to fall for a scam if

188
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: you let it control you, like the sense of like,

189
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: you know, I experienced this when I was shopping to

190
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: refinance my mortgage. You know, those mortgage lenders that you

191
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: talk to, they want you, they want you to refine

192
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 2: with them, They want your business, and it's like I

193
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 2: can get you this rate, you know, but you know,

194
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 2: you really want to make a decision today because I

195
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: can't promise it's going to be here if you don't

196
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: lock it in so anyway, but having the groundedness to say,

197
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: I'm going to take my time to look into this,

198
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: you know, that will save you from a scam in

199
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: and of itself a lot of times.

200
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: And the hard heart heart pressure sales is potentially Oh yeah, Sam, I'm.

201
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 2: Talking else like Jesus crypto. If you're asking you for crypto.

202
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah.

203
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: The way they ask me to pay yes, hit me

204
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: up on social media, which is kind of scary. So

205
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: a woman hit me up and said, tifany is this

206
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: you I'm like, no, that on TikTok or whatever. There's

207
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: somebody who's trying to scam people out of money using

208
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: my image. And what's really scary is, she said, Tificany,

209
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: the part that was scary is they called me on

210
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: Instagram or TikTok or whatever, and it was a video

211
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: of you talking, but I couldn't hear you well, so

212
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: I thought it was really you calling me and they

213
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: went back to texting, like, oh, my connection is bad.

214
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 2: I was like, wait, is that that's the same thing

215
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 2: that Gail King? Have you seen this? So Gail King

216
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 2: went on ig and shared a video of that looked

217
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 2: legit through AI because they can they can if you

218
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 2: have a enough speaking I can see how they could

219
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: take an episode of like you speaking of this podcast

220
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 2: or like any of your other engagements and uploaded into

221
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 2: AI and be like, can you generate a statement about

222
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: my business with Tiffany's voice, yes, and then put it

223
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: with some blurry footage and you talk yeah.

224
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: Really like I couldn't believe. And she was like, you know,

225
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 3: but I know that you never asked me for whatever

226
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 3: it was. It was. The English is really bad. As

227
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 3: far as the texting, she was like that doesn't sound

228
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 3: like differenty, So she wrote me like all my budget, Lisa,

229
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: and you would think that like, oh, cause you know

230
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 3: I have the blue check.

231
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: So that's another scam, which is like if someone who

232
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: normally wouldn't reach out to you was asking for money,

233
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: Like if they're asking for money in ways that you

234
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: cannot get a refund, like they're wanting you to cash app,

235
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: they're wanting you to crypto, It's like that's another like

236
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: hallmark of a scam where it's like why do I

237
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: have to pay this way? There's no paper trail, you know,

238
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: why do I have to pay this way? Also too,

239
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: if the person doesn't have knowledge, like I look at like,

240
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: for example, the Tulsa real estate fund guy, he had

241
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: never bought a house or sold a house, so how

242
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: was he running you know, a ten million dollar plus

243
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: fund where he had no previous experience, and so like

244
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: really looking into like well like so for example, there's

245
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: a lot of like especially during the pandemic, a lot

246
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: of coaches popped up to like to teach you how

247
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: to manage a business. But the only business they've ever

248
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: had was to teach you how to manage a business.

249
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: So It's like what came first to chicken or the egg?

250
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: You know that the ass and so you want to

251
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: be want to be mindful that Like wait a minute.

252
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: If it's one thing like say, for example, you owned

253
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: like a retail company and you know you you like

254
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: you know, you sold jeans for twenty years, and now

255
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: you are teaching people how to have a real retail company,

256
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: then it's like okay, because you have the underlying business

257
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: and you're teaching me how to do a thing you've

258
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: been doing versus my business is to teach you how

259
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 1: to have business. It's again, how do you know how

260
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: to have business when this is the only business you

261
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: ever had. So that's another huge like red flag, Like

262
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: they're only in the business of the thing if you're

263
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: teaching you So yeah, I mean you guys ask stuff

264
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: like this all the time, like if it's a scam reviews,

265
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: honestly literally googling such and such name scam or such

266
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: such name.

267
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 3: Reviews and see what pops up, you know what I mean?

268
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: Like sometimes really fund policy if there's no protections like that,

269
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 2: if there's no way to get in touch with them

270
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: but a complaint, yes, call the number back and see

271
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: who answers, especially for those bank scams like my friend

272
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 2: who lost my friend of a friend who lost like

273
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: eight grand because the bank called her on her phone

274
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 2: but it wasn't really her bank and she ended up

275
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 2: zelling them a bunch of money.

276
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah, and honestly too.

277
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: Whenever those things happen, the best thing to do, especially

278
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: if it has is to say I'll call you back,

279
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: because you can call Like if Wells Fargo called me

280
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: to say, hey, you you know you owe us money,

281
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, I'm like, I'm gonna call you back

282
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: on the Wells Fargo line. Hey, someone from Wells Fargo

283
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: called me to say that, because they'll connect you if

284
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: that's true.

285
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and so yeah, but I.

286
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: Mean, I know, in the moment, it does seem so real.

287
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: It's so hard because like I said, I've been scammed before,

288
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: and so like, yeah, we'll just shame around it, but

289
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: it is there is a lot of shame around it.

290
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 2: Now that AI is involved. Like, oh my gosh, no

291
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: one's safe if they learn how to get your voice

292
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 2: and you call me and it looks like your number

293
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: and it's like maybe I need ten thousand dollars right now,

294
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,599
Speaker 2: I'd probably be like, oh, that's Tiffany, she wouldn't do that.

295
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 2: You know, I could see myself doing maybe not ten grand.

296
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: You know. Wait what you listen to this episode, like

297
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: I'm stuck at the airport and they're not letting me

298
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 2: you know what, it cant on my flight bitcoin go.

299
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 3: It's so scary, honestly.

300
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: So it's just really, if something feels like a scam,

301
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: doesn't feel right, it's it's better to just opt out

302
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: and just say you know what, because on the off

303
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: chances actually does work out. Okay, you missed out on

304
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: the thing, not really, you know, But it's just asking questions,

305
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: are there other people who have signed up? But like

306
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: I said, you want to be mindful because those early

307
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: adopters oftentimes will get their money and then you'll be

308
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: it's like hot potato. You know, eventually the hot potato

309
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: is gonna stop, and it's likelihood as you're gonna be

310
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: one holding the hot potato at the end.

311
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 3: You know. And so yeah, just asking those questions.

312
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes you guys will sign to my dms, will ask

313
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: me about specific people I'm not gonna I mean, I

314
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: named a couple of people that are like are known

315
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: like you know, scammers, but also too like I think

316
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: I mentioned this before. One of my favorite YouTube channels

317
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: is coffee Zilla, And so what I like is that

318
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: I forget his real name. I don't even know what

319
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: he said shares his real name. He exposes like the

320
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: internet scammers of the day, and I'm not necessarily looking

321
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: for particular because mostly the Internet scammers, he's just exposes

322
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: our white boys.

323
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 3: So I'm not really looking at that.

324
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm more so looking at the scheme set up so

325
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: I can recognize it out in the wild when it

326
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: comes to our community.

327
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: And so that's just a great way. I mean. Also,

328
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 3: there's place there's a instagram called baller Alert. It's so

329
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 3: called baller alert, I think.

330
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: So where he will also expose like specific scammers that

331
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: you know, Like I said, most of them are white boys.

332
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: So you might not be like, oh, that doesn't affect me,

333
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: But what happens is is that scammers will have like

334
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: a specific playbook and if it works, they will share

335
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: with each other and eventually it does get to your community,

336
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: but with a face that looks like.

337
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 3: Yours, and you're like, oh, that's the you know, that's

338
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 3: the Nike shoebox scam.

339
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: I saw that on Baller Alert, So I like to

340
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: keep up to date so that way when something comes

341
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: to me, I'm really mindful about this. Like if you notice,

342
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: I used to beginning partner with a lot of people,

343
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: and unfortunately I don't anymore because there's not too many

344
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: people in the space that I feel really comfortable sharing

345
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: with my audience.

346
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: Because there's other like influencer educator type people.

347
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, because there'd be people who started off great, but

348
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of I'm not gonna lie.

349
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 3: There's a lot of money and.

350
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: Not navigating so great with your community, and sometimes people

351
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: will do things that are not a scam, but they're

352
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: not quite up.

353
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 3: To snuff for me, you know.

354
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: So there is this great area where it's like it's

355
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: not illegal, but it's not right.

356
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 3: And so I don't partner like I used to.

357
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: I used to write it all the time, but I

358
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: don't partner like I used to because I'm just like,

359
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: very few people are navigating in a way that I

360
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: feel really comfortable sharing with my audience. And they passed

361
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: what I call my Lisa rule, which is if I

362
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't share if my baby sister, Lisa, I'm not gonna

363
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: share with y'all.

364
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, just.

365
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: Keeping you know, keeping an eye out, asking questions, not

366
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: making quick decisions if the money sounds too good to

367
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: be true it is, and you know, really like looking

368
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: in their comments to see what other people are saying,

369
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: because oftentimes people be in a comments roasting people and

370
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, you know, and just be safe.

371
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 3: Out there, child, be safe.

00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 3: Interesting?

394
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 2: Okay, so my fake name for the pod is Autumn.

395
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 3: This question is from Autumn.

396
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 2: Autumn says my husband and I started working with a

397
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 2: financial advisor to make sure that we are doing the

398
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 2: right things with our excess money outside of investing in

399
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: diverse portfolios through betterment, maxing out our retirement saving, being frugal, etc.

400
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 2: As two high earners in it six figures for each

401
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: of our incomes. Okay, we see, we love it. Our

402
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: financial advisor works for an insurance company. He's advised my

403
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 2: husband to take his rolled over four to one k

404
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: and roth IRA and roll it into an annuity for

405
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: instance URA RLA ascend due to the potential for faster

406
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 2: growth and there's no risk of us removing the money

407
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 2: from the account. My retirement fund so far isn't as high,

408
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: so I'm not eligible, which is fine as I'm a

409
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 2: chicken with moving money. I've never heard of this as

410
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 2: a way to grow retirement savings. I've never heard anyone

411
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 2: advocate for moving large amounts of IRA into anything else.

412
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 2: We still have more research to do, but I was

413
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: curious if you'd heard of this type of fund and

414
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 2: what would be your next steps in weighing the pros

415
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 2: and cons of considering all of this outside of just

416
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 2: more research as two people who work with financial professionals

417
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 2: to play on your finances. Thanks ladies, Autumn.

418
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 3: Well, first, let's get clear on what in annuity is,

419
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 3: Can I can? I sure?

420
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 2: Yes?

421
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 3: So okay.

422
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: Definition, an annuity is a long term contract from an

423
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: insurance company, which makes sense because your financial advisor works

424
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: for insurance company where you invest your money. In return

425
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: for your investment, you get income in the form of

426
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: regular payments through an annualization or guaranteed lifetime income benefit

427
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: that is available at an additional cost. So basically, they

428
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: take your money, they invest it, and they say, hey,

429
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: from the investment that we invested, obviously they're going to

430
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: keep some and they're going to pay you from the

431
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: money that they've invested.

432
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 3: You know. So, so here's the thing.

433
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: Certainly having an annuity can have like this, like annual

434
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: income generated to you, like you're gonna receive regular payments,

435
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: and these regular payments can be guaranteed rates of return.

436
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: But the problem is, I'll say this that like they

437
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: can be pretty pricey, meaning like you would be likely

438
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: better off. This is like I remember Angelie and my

439
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: financial advisor. I asked her about annuity because I knew

440
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: a friend of had that had one, and she said,

441
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: the problem is about money most annuities is that they

442
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: can get pretty expensive. And typically insurance companies are gonna

443
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: charge about one to to like one and a quarter

444
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: percent of your return, which.

445
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 3: Is gonna be like it seems like low, but like when.

446
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: You think of compoundly how much that's gonna cost you

447
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: over time, then it might be better off.

448
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 3: For like what your money is just.

449
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: Grow without you know, without the help of this insurance company.

450
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 3: Now, the problem like let me see, let me see,

451
00:20:59,080 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 3: let me say.

452
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: So, like returns on an annuity also might not match

453
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: investment returns, and.

454
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 3: So like the problem is that for all that trouble.

455
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: With an annuity, you could just have your money exactly

456
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: where it is in your wealth Iraya four one K

457
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: and doing what it does and you get to keep

458
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: your money. Now, because here's the real problem that I

459
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: see this, so it's not a scam, but the fact

460
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 1: that your financial advisor works for an insurance company and

461
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: they're trying to sell you a product from the insurance company.

462
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: Let you know who they work for, not you. I'm

463
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: gonna say that again. My dad would always say, he

464
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: who pays the piper determine the determines the tune. So

465
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: who is paying the piper, which is like, you're a

466
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: financial advisor, his company is So his job or her

467
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: job is to sell you products and services, not necessarily

468
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: to make sure that what's best for you.

469
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 3: And I could tell by the fact that they offered

470
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 3: you this annuity.

471
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: Hey, give me all of your money so I can

472
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: put into the company I work for, so I can

473
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: get a kick back and not a kick be because

474
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: it's legal.

475
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 3: You know.

476
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure they work on commission whatever it is that

477
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: they get as a result of rolling over, But is

478
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: it actually best for you?

479
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 3: Likely not.

480
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: This is why having a financial advisor that's independent of

481
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: a financial company is ideal. Like Angelie, I know Helen

482
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: doesn't work for specific your financial advisor, Mandy, you know it's.

483
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 2: A fee based not just an independent but a fiduciary.

484
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 3: Yes, so notified financial planners.

485
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 2: Because what juduciary means they have to act in your

486
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 2: best interest or else the advice are giving you is illegal.

487
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: So this person, I'm not sure if they're a CFP,

488
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like it, and.

489
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 2: For you know what they probably are, but they sell

490
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 2: insurance products for a Nationwide on the side, So I

491
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 2: wonder if like he's sort of doing or she im

492
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 2: not going to like gender it, but anyway, like yeah,

493
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 2: like you know, got this client and then has you know,

494
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: and is thinking, oh, well, they have money, so let

495
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 2: me like also dip into my you know, my work

496
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 2: with Nationwide and get a little, like you said, a

497
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 2: commission off of this as well, because they help that

498
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 2: need to invest.

499
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: I like to think like I want you to think

500
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: about like when you know how like when you bought

501
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: your house, Mandy. I remember at the time when I

502
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: bought my first condo that my my mortgage broker told

503
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: me ideally for me to hire everyone separately, Like I

504
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: found my own inspector, I had my own mortgage person,

505
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: I had my own attorney. And because when they're all together,

506
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: they throw each other deals in a way that doesn't

507
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: it doesn't benefit you. I like Angelie. I hired Angelie independently.

508
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 1: What I like about Angelie is she told me you're

509
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: under insured, and I said, okay, and she said, go

510
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: to you whatever insurance company you want, and I will

511
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: give you the language to get them. But she doesn't

512
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: get any kickback from whatever because she doesn't work for

513
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: nj M. She doesn't work for whatever insurance company.

514
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 3: She works for me.

515
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: And so whenever Antealie like, the only thing only product

516
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: that Ali sales is her services to the individual. She

517
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: doesn't tell insurance. She doesn't you know, doesn't tell anything

518
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: other than that, And so you want to just be

519
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: mindful of that.

520
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 3: Because this concerned me.

521
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: I asked Angelie about annuities, and I vaguely remember her

522
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: saying that only for small percentage of people doesn't make sense,

523
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: and she said the likelihood is it age too, and

524
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: so like. So I'm not here to speak on like

525
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: whether the annuities are great or bad whatever, because I

526
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: don't know enough about them.

527
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 3: I'm just sharing what she shared with me.

528
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: And then and then, for the vast majority of people,

529
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: the expense of the annuity is not worth the return

530
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: of most annuities. But my bigger concern is that you're

531
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: working with somebody who might have conflicting You can't serve

532
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: two masters that's going to have conflicting, you know, like

533
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: desires or who they're going to help.

534
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 2: Can I weigh in? I didn't think I would have

535
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 2: much to add, But when I read r I LA

536
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: something in my brain said, I've heard of this recently,

537
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 2: and typically when I hear from I'm going to assume

538
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 2: that Autumn is a woman of color like our audiences,

539
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: because typically when I start hearing the same thing from

540
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 2: people from the same community, I'm like, there are a

541
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 2: lot of info out there about this r I L

542
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 2: A thing. Because in a recent group coaching call of mine,

543
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 2: I was speaking one of I take questions and I'm

544
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 2: you know, I have questions every other week with them

545
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 2: and they can ask me anything, and this woman asked

546
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: about our I L A annuity and she was describing

547
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 2: it to me, and I hadn't heard of it before,

548
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I'm not going to give you life

549
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 2: insurance advice or insurance advice or whatever, an annuity advice,

550
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: but it's it's it's this like, this is the second

551
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: time I've heard of it in the row, and it's

552
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 2: so just to like quickly define it, registered index linked annuities,

553
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 2: they are they are sort of meant to entice people

554
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 2: by saying, well, this is going to be mirroring an index, which,

555
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 2: if you hear people like us, we talk really highly

556
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: in favor of index funds, which which track an indicies

557
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 2: like the stock market, the S and P five hundred

558
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: or whatever. So you've heard us talk about that positively.

559
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 2: So what I feel like when someone's like, oh, this

560
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: annuity tracks an index, it may feel like, oh, well,

561
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 2: this is a good thing, right, It's like enough of

562
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 2: a However, it's also you know, supposed to be you know,

563
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 2: a boon or like a benefit for investors because it

564
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 2: helps you grow your like it helps you grow your

565
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 2: investment and have it there's some kind of like tax

566
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 2: deferral or some kind of tax advantage to doing it.

567
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 2: But my and so when I when I read that

568
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 2: that it's about this like tax deferred status of your gains,

569
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,719
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, if four one K is already a

570
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: tax advantage to account, I don't necessarily know of what

571
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 2: the benefit is of rolling it away from your tax

572
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 2: advantage for one K account into an annuity like that

573
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: just gives me pause. And also the fact that I'm

574
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 2: hearing about it in a couple different like two times

575
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 2: in a row within a short period of time. I'm

576
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 2: just like, my spidy sense already goes up. So I

577
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 2: don't know how to tell you. I don't know what

578
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 2: to tell you about it, Like I don't know how

579
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 2: to say definitively this is bad for you. But my

580
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: spidey sense, I trust it, and that's how I avoid

581
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 2: things that are bad for me. And I'm just like, mmmmm,

582
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, yeah, yeah, this is what's.

583
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: The return versus what the cost is going to cost you?

584
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: And can you make that return without the cost someplace?

585
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 3: Elf?

586
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: And just from the little bit of resource that I've done,

587
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 1: it looks like, yes, that's the case, but like bigger,

588
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: honestly than the annuity. I'm not so much concerned about

589
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: that is I'm just wanting you to like maybe open up,

590
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: like and say, is.

591
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 3: This the way financial advisor?

592
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: You know? Because what other tools and resources is this

593
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: person likely to sell you because it benefits them in

594
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: the company's bottom line versus you? And so I just

595
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: would not recommend financial advisors specifically from you know, that

596
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: sells other things other than their advice.

597
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, yeah, that'd be a deal breaker for me.

598
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: You give me one, you give me a piece of

599
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 2: advice that I can't verify it's the best for me,

600
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 2: and I'm just like, why don't trust you?

601
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly to someone else exactly.

602
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 2: Well, thank you Autumn for opening up and asking us

603
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 2: your question. I'm really glad that you did, and hopefully

604
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 2: that gives you some food for thought.

605
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 3: Like I said, that's not a scam, but it's scam likely.

606
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 3: You know, you get to eat that before Jason, you know, we.

607
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: Got to call the let's call for producer, you mind,

608
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: let's call the the also called it the podcast, I

609
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: mean the episode scam likely.

610
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: All right, y'all until next time.

611

Speaker 1: we read them all the time, and so leave us

613
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: reviews so we can.

Speaker 1: you might be like, oh, my boot, what should I do?

618
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,479
Speaker 1: Or like, what what do y'all use because Mandy's hair

619
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: is always pull up in? Or like you know, skin

620
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: is skinning, like, honestly, we're open to answering other questions too,
