I 171 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 4: have to give it back though, and people don't realize that. 172 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: But it also makes more sense for you to do that. 173 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,679 Speaker 2: I do want to say, if we talk about time 174 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 2: management and we talk about money economically, are you going 175 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: to buy this outfit and then keep it and never 176 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: wear it again or would you rather pay a stylist 177 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 2: And it's not going to be as much as you 178 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: having to continually buy one hundred Si, she's going to 179 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: statue it saves you the time and headache. 180 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 4: And she has a better vision of fashion than I do. 181 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 4: And so like, I just think that, like we have 182 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 4: to convince ourselves and realize that, like our regular lives 183 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 4: are enough. We deserve to be happy, but we don't 184 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 4: need to necessarily buy one more thing to be happy. 185 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 3: That's a big mind that's a that's mindset shifting. So 186 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 3: what are the tools and things that you give people 187 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 3: to stand up to that? Because it's it's human nature, 188 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 3: that's our brains are wired to compare. So that's just 189 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 3: gonna happen. And how do you, you know, kind of 190 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 3: go to a deeper level, say you don't get pulled 191 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 3: away by that feeling? 192 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 4: I ask myself this one question before I buy anything. 193 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 4: Do I want this thing or do I want people 194 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 4: to know I have it? So for me, I'm gonna 195 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 4: be very vulnerable with you guys here. I got my 196 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 4: driver's license at sixteen, when regular, you know, young people 197 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 4: get them. I drove for nine months to school for 198 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 4: my last year of high school, and then I went 199 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 4: to college, and I went to college in a city, 200 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 4: so I didn't drive for those four years. Then I 201 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 4: moved to New York City didn't drive for all that. 202 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 4: It's been like over a decade since I've been behind 203 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 4: the wheel of a car. If you asked me to 204 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 4: drive some very fancy luxury car and a Toyota Prias, 205 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 4: I probably could not tell you the difference in the handling, 206 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 4: or I couldn't really appreciate the V eight turbo. And 207 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 4: I don't know what any of those words means. But 208 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 4: I would want people to know that I drive a 209 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 4: really fancy Bentley because it's sexy. It's something nice to say. 210 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 4: But when I think about the things in my life 211 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 4: that I've purchased that have brought me the most value, 212 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 4: they're not things that are really exciting to brag about. 213 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 4: Right they're like, Oh, I got a really really good 214 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 4: mattress because my back was hurting. 215 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 5: But like, what am I gonna be? 216 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 4: Like? 217 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 5: Hey, guys, guess kind of a mattress I have? 218 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 2: I love my mattress, say, and you talk about that 219 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 2: in the book, Lie, So are you okay with this 220 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 2: purchase if. 221 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: No one even knows about it? 222 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 5: Exactly? 223 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 2: Those are the ones that are important.

Tell us about 236 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 3: the Orphan Duffy story. 237 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 5: Yes, okay. 238 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 4: So when I was in the fifth grade, I was 239 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 4: in the play Annie, and this was like the hot ticket. 240 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 4: All the kids wanted to be in this play, and 241 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 4: some of them were so tone off that their parents 242 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 4: then had to complain to get them apart. Fortunately for me, 243 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 4: I got apart. And not only I got apart, I 244 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 4: got a part with lines and songs that I had 245 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 4: to sing, and so I was feeling pretty good about myself. 246 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 4: I'm in this play and all of these parents are, 247 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 4: you know, coming to this play. They're coming with flowers 248 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 4: and Teddy Bear and all this to see there, you know, 249 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 4: precious little fifth grader in this play. 250 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 5: But both of my parents work. Both of my parents worked. 251 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 4: I'm a first generation immigrant kid, so my parents came 252 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 4: here to this country and they were focused on survival. 253 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 4: This was not about, oh, we have to thrive. This 254 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 4: was we got to make ends meet and we have 255 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 4: to make the math math. So both of my parents worked. 256 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 4: They worked, you know, pretty decent drives away from our home. 257 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 4: And I remember they didn't come to any of the play, 258 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 4: Like we put it off for three nights in a row. 259 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 4: They didn't come to any of them. But they would 260 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 4: come pick me up from the parking lot afterwards. 261 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 5: I didn't have any flowers. There was no fanfare. 262 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 4: This was just a fun little after school activity that 263 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 4: my parents that I wanted to do. And I was 264 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 4: so jealous and resentful of all these other kids who 265 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 4: had these amazing, cute, little picturesque like lifetime movie families, 266 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 4: and my parents can do that for me. And so 267 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 4: I in my head, you know, just being kind of 268 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 4: like a bitter kid, was like, I will never do 269 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 4: this to my children. 270 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 5: But we talked about this. I literally did it to 271 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 5: my parents, did it to them. I literally just did. 272 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 4: As my parents because I was like, oh, it's more 273 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 4: important for me to provide stability and money and all 274 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 4: of these things for my parents to be able to 275 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 4: help them retire. Yea yah, yeah, not to realize that 276 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 4: like all my parents wanted in that moment was just 277 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 4: to spend a couple hours with me. 278 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 2: I want to ask you when I was reading that 279 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 2: part about first of all, I was trying to remember 280 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 2: who Orphing Duffy was. 281 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I gotta go back. But I 282 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 1: was also. 283 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 2: Wondering for your parents to even know that and that 284 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 2: you felt that way. Were you ever to talk to them, 285 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 2: able to express that to them too, because sometimes you know, 286 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 2: the kids don't don't though you. 287 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 5: Know what it was. 288 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 4: Maybe I don't think I brought it up in that instance, 289 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 4: but it had happened, like you know, over the course 290 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 4: of my elementary school education because some of the moms 291 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 4: and I used to call them the PTA moms, because 292 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 4: there were many families in my neighborhood that like could 293 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 4: survive off of one parent's income. There was a breadwinner 294 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 4: and there was a stay at home mom in most cases, 295 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 4: and those moms were really involved in the school and 296 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 4: like sometimes e would like come to lunch and like 297 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 4: bring their kid like Subway or McDonald's, and it was 298 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 4: like such a treat. But like my mom never did 299 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 4: any of that. My mom was busy. My mom was 300 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 4: trying to make money. And so I think there was 301 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 4: one instance that like, you know, I just made a 302 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 4: comment about how you know this one kid's mom is 303 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 4: a PTA mom. I wish you could be a PTA mom. 304 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 4: And I think it really hurt my parents, if I'm honest. 305 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 4: But you know, they got down to eye level. And 306 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 4: this wasn't even a situation where like I got in 307 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 4: trouble or that yelled at me, but it was just 308 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 4: like they explained, they were like, we don't have the 309 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 4: you know, facilities, the resources to do that, and I'm 310 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 4: sorry that sucks, but. 311 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 5: Life's not fair. 312 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 4: And it really did, like I was just like, what 313 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 4: am I supposed to say to that? 314 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 5: But I think there were many moments. 315 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 4: Throughout the course of my childhood, throughout my teenage years, 316 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 4: when it became very abundantly clear to me that like 317 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 4: other families had more money than us, that like I 318 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 4: never ever wanted to feel like this as an adult, 319 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 4: Like I was like, I'm going to be rich, like 320 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 4: that was my goal.

My parents didn't 346 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 4: have too much money to spend on dining out, but 347 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 4: when we would go out to eat, we would go 348 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 4: to a Chinese buffet because it was the most value 349 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 4: optimized place to go absolutely, And what we would do is, 350 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 4: first off, my parents were one thousand percent lying about 351 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 4: me being like eleven for like four years, I didn't 352 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 4: get that grocerper and they were like, cool, she's eleven again. 353 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 4: But we would go to this buffet and my parents 354 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 4: would get like the half rate for me because I 355 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 4: was eleven. And then there was a strategy. We would 356 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 4: go and stand by the seafood area where they would 357 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 4: bring out like the crab, the shrimp, the lobster, all 358 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 4: of the very expensive stuff, like the stuff that you 359 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 4: know is like premium ticket when you go to the 360 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 4: grocery store and after you ate as much as you 361 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 4: could humanly eat. 362 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 5: Of that like you can't button your pants at. 363 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: The store, Maybe put some in your bag. 364 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, truly you thought I wasn't bringing a tupperware. 365 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 4: After that, you would then go to the meats.

They're saying some nasty stuff about each other. 539 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 4: But I think it is unreasonable for any partner to 540 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 4: expect their partner to fund their lifestyle. So I think 541 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 4: she's in the wrong for expecting him to pay for everything. However, 542 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 4: I do like what he said about I don't want 543 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 4: to give you money. I want to invest in you. 544 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 4: I want to like help you. I want to teach 545 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 4: you how to give you resources because I feel like 546 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 4: the you know, teach a man of fish versus give 547 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 4: a man of fish is a better strategy. However, listen, 548 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 4: She's like, there's a lot here, There's a lot going 549 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 4: on here. I think he made some really good points. 550 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 4: He asked why she hadn't completed the nursing degree. It 551 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 4: sounds like there was some sort of failed business venture. 552 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 4: It seems like there were some poor judgment calls made 553 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 4: when it came to her spending, to how she was, 554 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 4: you know, using that money. 555 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 5: I feel like the. 556 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 4: Business knowledge just wasn't one hundred percent there. I think 557 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,239 Speaker 4: at the time when they were still together, when they 558 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,959 Speaker 4: still liked each other, a more loving and more caring 559 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 4: thing to do on both of their ends, versus him 560 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 4: being like you're a bad investment in her being like, 561 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 4: you don't care about me and you don't provide for me. 562 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 4: Is they actually needed to sit down and be like, hey, Cameron, 563 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 4: you're this incredible artist. You're probably touring, You're probably busy. 564 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 4: I'm taking care of certain things at home. I'm making 565 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 4: sure that when you come home there's a hot meal 566 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 4: on the table. I'm doing all of this as a 567 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 4: woman that is unpaid labor. You have expectations of what 568 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 4: I'm bringing to the table, So I like, there needs 569 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 4: to be some sort of like compensation for that unpaid leak. 570 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 3: Look at it, looking at it as a job, correct, 571 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 3: and this is what it's. 572 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 6: This is what I get every month for doing that. 573 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 4: It's the same thing with a stay at home parent, 574 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 4: when the state when a stayle parent is the chauffeur, 575 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 4: the chef, the nanny, the housekeeper, there everything, But then. 576 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 6: Working women have to do all that, right. 577 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, But just to say that, like, if your husband 578 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 4: goes out and makes all the money and then you 579 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 4: do all those things at home, the money he makes 580 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 4: is not his money. 581 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 5: It's your together money. 582 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, because people always act like she don't work, she 583 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 2: stays at home. 584 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: That is a lot of work. 585 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 3: It's so much, so many things, because a lot of 586 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 3: women will, you know, take care of their kids someone. 587 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 3: You know, there's that unspoken thing, you're the breadwinner.

What happens when you're 592 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 3: completely financially dependent on somebody and the relationship falls apart. 593 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 5: I never want to have to depend on a man. 594 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 3: Right because if if you're financially independent, you can conduct 595 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 3: your differently in the relationship. 596 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 4: You get to make decisions out of a place of abundance, 597 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 4: You have options, you have choices. When you are dependent 598 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 4: on someone else, if they have the power to feed you, 599 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 4: they have the power to starve you. 600 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 6: That's why you want to be well endown. 601 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 2: Now, can we talk about getting financially naked and a 602 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 2: relationship and what that means. 603 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, So getting financially naked is so uncomfortable because you 604 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 4: have to lay it all out there.

There's always these conversations online 647 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 2: that turn into arguments with people. 648 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 5: People just like to argue. 649 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 2: You see the argument about home ownership and like you said, 650 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 2: this is not a one size fits all things, right, 651 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 2: And so even with home ownership, that's a conversation that 652 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 2: people are having do I rent? 653 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: People are talking about why? 654 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 4: You know. 655 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 2: Some people will tell you renting is a better idea 656 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 2: and I only rent and I wouldn't want to own 657 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 2: a home and all the problems that come with it. 658 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: Some people will tell you that owning a home, I 659 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: mean sorry, owning a home is a bad idea. 660 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 2: Some people will tell you that renting is a bad idea, 661 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 2: and it's never a one size fits all, never great point. 662 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: But you give us a lot of tools to figure 663 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: out what will work for us. 664 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent, because how crazy would it be 665 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 4: to say that millions and millions of people should all 666 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 4: be doing the exact same thing. You don't make the 667 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 4: same type of money, you don't live in the same 668 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 4: geographical region, which, by the way, real estate is entirely 669 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 4: geographically dependent. But also like your lifestyle is different, Like 670 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 4: if you are someone who's trying to plant roots, you 671 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 4: know you're gonna be here for over a decade. Buying 672 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 4: might be a really smart way for you to build 673 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 4: equity in a property that you are going to be 674 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 4: in for a long time. Great, maybe you are young, 675 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 4: Maybe you have the opportunity to get a big promotion 676 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 4: if you go and run the Tokyo office, the London office, 677 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 4: the LA office, and all of a sudden you got 678 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 4: to pick up your life and move in three months. 679 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 4: Are you going to be able to get out of 680 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 4: your house in three months? 681 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 5: I don't know. 682 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 4: The housing market is not that liquid, and so you 683 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 4: have to think about what are the things that are 684 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 4: going to cost you money and what you're going to 685 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 4: make money from. But like again, you want to be 686 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 4: in a place for less than five to seven years. 687 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 4: You know what the closing on a house are. You 688 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 4: don't get that money back that doesn't go into the 689 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 4: equity of your house. That gets paid to people. So 690 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 4: the frictional costs are very high homeowners' associations or building 691 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 4: fees or. 692 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: Same mansion tax because that's high. 693 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 5: That's high. 694 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 6: Yeah. 695 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 4: But like I got back from the winter holidays this year, guys, 696 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 4: my HVAC was broken. Oh there's ten thousand dollars. I 697 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 4: wasn't planning on spending that. I now have to pay 698 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 4: a contractor to rip open my ceiling. I have to 699 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 4: pay the HVAC guys to come redo the coil. Then 700 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 4: I have to pay the general contractor to come do 701 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 4: the drywall again. And now all of a sudden, I've 702 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 4: paid a bunch of people. I've spent ten thousand dollars 703 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 4: and my house looks the same. But it's just like that, 704 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 4: and it's so fuz. Do you know what I would 705 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 4: have liked to spend ten thousand dollars on? Literally anything else? 706 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 4: Like you know, being a homeowner is great. I own 707 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 4: in New York City, but I'm also a renter in Florida. 708 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 4: And if I were to go to Los Angeles for 709 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 4: some TV work, I would probably rent there. I don't 710 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 4: know what my life looks like, but I need to 711 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 4: have flexibility. I need to be able to have all 712 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 4: of these things. And so I think there are benefits 713 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 4: to both, there are cons to both, and you have 714 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 4: to think about your lifestyle. 715 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 6: Absolutely. 716 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 3: I have three homes that I own that are investment 717 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 3: properties and one that I use that I wrint yep 718 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 3: exactly for that flexibility. 719 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 2: Exactly, you know one thing that and I'm always trying 720 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 2: to grow my knowledge financially. And when you talked about 721 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 2: home ownership not being as liquid. That is something that 722 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 2: I was just told by the person who I'm working 723 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 2: with with my finances. They're like, okay, you need to 724 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 2: get somewhere liquid assets for yourself. And I was like, okay, 725 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 2: fair enough, because I've always been so big into real 726 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 2: estate and so I feel I'm just comfortable and like tangible. 727 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 5: You like to be able to touch the wall and 728 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 5: be like this is mine. But that's the problem. 729 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 4: When I say the word liquid, what that really just 730 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 4: means is like how quickly can you turn something into 731 00:32:58,880 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 4: cold hor. 732 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 6: Cash You're gonna need it without making on debt exactly. 733 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 4: So like buying investments in the stock market, very liquid, 734 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 4: you can sell in and out of those probably in 735 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 4: a day or two, like you need you know, three 736 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 4: to five days for the funds to clear, but you're 737 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 4: in and out in a week. Great making investments in 738 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 4: real estate are Do you think if I listed a 739 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 4: home on Monday it would be sold, signed, sealed, and 740 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 4: delivered by the following Monday. 741 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 5: I don't think so. 742 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 3: Right, You're back in that cultural stuff because in our 743 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 3: in the black community, you know, first of all, we 744 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 3: used to be property, right, so it's got a very 745 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 3: special thing there. We don't trust financial institutions for very 746 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 3: very good reasons, and we understand real estate, but you're 747 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 3: starting to see the younger generations doing something different, and 748 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 3: they're like, I don't want that real estate and they're 749 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 3: putting it in stocks. 750 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 6: Yeah. 751 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 4: Well, I also think in particular, like the African American 752 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 4: community has been systematically prevented from making real estate investments, 753 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 4: whether it was actually prevented like redlining or being chased 754 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 4: out of neighborhoods, but even just more soft biases i'll 755 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 4: call them, or just frankly discrimination on the back end. 756 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 4: If you go into a play into a bank to 757 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 4: go get a mortgage, they look you up and down, 758 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 4: they size you up, and they give you a certain 759 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 4: you know term based on your financials. We have literally 760 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 4: seen black families' homes get appraised for half the price 761 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 4: as they get a praised for six months later when 762 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 4: they have their white friend pretend. 763 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:37,280 Speaker 6: To be the owner with Senator Booker. Yeah literally, reset, 764 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 6: it's so so awful. 765 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 5: But I think there's something to be said about the 766 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 5: next generation. 767 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 6: Yes, it's different. 768 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 5: It's different because they saw the housing crisis, they saw 769 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 5: a lot of. 770 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 4: Those things happen to their parents, they saw the challenges 771 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 4: and they're like, well, they're not going to give me 772 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 4: a different price when I buy this, you know on 773 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 4: my app, like my Fidelity app. Like I am going 774 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 4: to get a fair shake. I'm gonna be in a 775 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 4: very liquid asset. I think there's a lot of appeal 776 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 4: to that. 777 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 6: Oh definitely. 778 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 4: Yeah. 779 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 3: Online lending eliminates eighty percent of that discrimination, and Blacks 780 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 3: pay two hundred billion dollars a year in extra fees 781 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 3: and taxes. 782 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 6: So it's important, important, important, importance. 783 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 2: You know, as we're talking about important financial decisions, you 784 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 2: also said the most important financial decision you'll. 785 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,359 Speaker 5: Ever make is your significant other. 786 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, Now break that down for us, Okay, 787 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 2: you know, for some people it's hard to look at 788 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 2: marriage and love as. 789 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,720 Speaker 1: Something that is a financial decision. 790 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 6: It's getting hot here. 791 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,479 Speaker 5: Of course, you know, we always keep it spicy. Here's 792 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,399 Speaker 5: the thing. Life is hard. 793 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 4: I'm gonna just say that. And when I go home, 794 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 4: I don't want to be living with a hater at 795 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,879 Speaker 4: home because that person is supposed to be your safe space. 796 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 4: That person is supposed to open, like open the door, 797 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 4: have their arms open, you run into them, and they 798 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 4: make you feel safe. They make you feel like the 799 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 4: sun shines out of your butt. Great, But I know 800 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 4: so many people whose significant others are haters are secret haters. 801 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 4: They are competitive with their partner. They want they want 802 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 4: you to do well, but not better than them, And 803 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 4: that is deeply problematic for a number of reasons. But 804 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 4: first off, studies have shown that if you have a 805 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 4: conscientious partner, you are on average, every single year, going 806 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 4: to make four percent more. That's money in your pocket. 807 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 4: If you're conscientious, that's money in your partner's pocket. You 808 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 4: are making compounding more and more money every single year 809 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 4: because you support each other when things get busy, because 810 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 4: you encourage each other to take big opportunities, because you 811 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,800 Speaker 4: want them to do well, even if it means it 812 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 4: outshines you. And the best example I give of this 813 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 4: is when I first started dating my husband, and you know, 814 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 4: he was like random dude I met in a bar 815 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 4: through a coworker, like he made meaningfully more money than me. 816 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 4: At the greatest difference was probably three or four years 817 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 4: in he made three to four times as much as 818 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 4: I did, and he never made me feel less than 819 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 4: for making less. Then he would pay for more of 820 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 4: our rent. He would pay for more of our vacations. 821 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 4: He would cover more of our dinners. And he was 822 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,760 Speaker 4: so generous, both with his money but mostly with his time. 823 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 5: And his love and his effort. 824 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 4: And when I decided to leave my full time job 825 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 4: and take your rich BFF full time, I turned him 826 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 4: and I was like, what if I don't make a 827 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,800 Speaker 4: dollar in the first year that I'm doing this? And 828 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 4: he said, do you think we'll starve on my salary? 829 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 5: And I was like, okay, Daddy wore bus, No, we're not. 830 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 4: But because he gave me that golden parachute, I always 831 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 4: knew I could pull that parachute. 832 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 5: If things got bad, he. 833 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 4: Would always be able to cover the rent, he would 834 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 4: always be able to pay for you know, our dinners. 835 00:37:58,960 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 5: Whatever. 836 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 4: I was able to make a really big leap. I 837 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,800 Speaker 4: took your to BFF full time. I started my own company, 838 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 4: and it was scary at certain points, but because I 839 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,879 Speaker 4: could take that big swing, I was able to make 840 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 4: so much more. I was able to advance my career. 841 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 4: I mean, I'll tell you got the New York Times 842 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,760 Speaker 4: reported last year my business made seven million dollars. 843 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 5: Wow, I am the breadwinner. I know that my family. 844 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,360 Speaker 1: I love that, but I didn't even have a bidding 845 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 1: war for your book. Yes, yeah, that's a yeah deal though. 846 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 5: Yeah, you have to feel so good. Yeah, thank you. 847 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 5: But here's the thing. 848 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 4: I didn't get to this position of being the breadwinner 849 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 4: in my family without having a conscientious partner who supported 850 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 4: me day in and day out. He was holding my 851 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 4: hand on the days when I was announced, you know, 852 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,839 Speaker 4: on time one hundred and four to thirty under thirty. Sure, 853 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 4: he was really there, he was like, yeah, I love you, amazing. 854 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 4: But he was also there when makeup is streaming down 855 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 4: my face, I'm in tears. Something's not working. It's the 856 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 4: day before I have to go do something, and I 857 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 4: didn't sell enough tickets. Nothing works, everything's terrible. He has 858 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 4: been there for both and I'm telling you, I am 859 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 4: a richer woman because of that man. 860 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 2: And sometimes when the dynamics shift to where he's the breadwinner, 861 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 2: and then you're making all this money because they'll act 862 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 2: like they want it and then you do it. Yeah, 863 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,840 Speaker 2: and then that is hard for men too at times. 864 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:28,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, But if it's only hard for men, if the 865 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 4: only thing they bring to the table is money, Yes, 866 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,760 Speaker 4: I want to see men bring. Sure you can bring finances, 867 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 4: financial stability, that's what we have told them is really 868 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 4: important over the past couple decades. But I want you 869 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,800 Speaker 4: to bring emotional maturity. I want you to bring like 870 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 4: generosity with your time, with your love, with your support. 871 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 4: I want to see you pick up around the house. 872 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 5: Heaven forbid, women are. 873 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 1: I would love to see that. 874 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 6: But no comment. 875 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,319 Speaker 5: Yeah, if you are a man who does those things. 876 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,839 Speaker 4: Though, if you have a significant other who's a woman 877 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,800 Speaker 4: and she starts to out earn you, you still know 878 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 4: you bring so much to the table though. You are 879 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 4: literally a provider in more ways than one. 880 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 2: And I think even to your point of not making 881 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,400 Speaker 2: that person feel less less. Sometimes people will provide but 882 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 2: throw it in your face all the time. 883 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 5: Don't do that. 884 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 6: I hate that. 885 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 5: Yeah, Like, don't be like yeah, and remember when I 886 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,840 Speaker 5: got you that? Like, ew gross. 887 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 3: This is deep because there's a woman's side of this 888 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 3: issue too. What do you both think of this? So 889 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 3: the Federal Reserve, so, first of all, like eighty percent 890 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 3: of women in the United States are primary breadwinners. Yeah, 891 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 3: Federal Reserve found that when a woman out earns her spouse, 892 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 3: the majority will still lie to their friends and people 893 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 3: around them and say that their spouse out earns them 894 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,360 Speaker 3: even when they out earn their spouse. What do you 895 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:51,240 Speaker 3: think that's about. 896 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,760 Speaker 4: I think it's perception. It's helping them keep up the ego, 897 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 4: the machra like the machismo. But I think that does 898 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,919 Speaker 4: a disservice to the relationship. 899 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 6: It's women throwing themselves away. 900 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like you're downplaying your success because you think 901 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:08,360 Speaker 4: other people can't handle. 902 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: It, like worried about what other people are. 903 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 5: Yeah, this is their partner, Like you should shine bright. 904 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 4: I mean, like, if I'm honest with you, guys, my 905 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 4: mom told me, she was like, you should like kind 906 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 4: of downplay how much you're making when. 907 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 5: You talk to your husband about it. 908 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 4: And I was like, unfortunately for you, I chose a 909 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 4: partner who is very very modern in that like he 910 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 4: wants me to make as much as possible. 911 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:32,719 Speaker 5: He wants me to do as well as possible, like. 912 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 4: I think in more traditional senses, like in traditional gender norms. 913 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 5: Like my mom didn't want me to say. 914 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,239 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's exactly what that research, because. 915 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 4: It's just it's crazy to me, because if you truly 916 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 4: love your partner, wuldn't you want them to do the 917 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 4: best they could possibly do.
