Obviously, working with the financial 89 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: planner is not free, but the tool that I give 90 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: you is free, which is really things some things to consider. 91 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: I personally don't like paying a financial planner as au M, 92 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: which is assets under management that means they get a 93 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: percentage of the assets they manage for you, because that 94 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: gets to be very expensive. I'd rather pay out of pocket. 95 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: You know. Also too, what I look like about certified 96 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: financial planners is they don't sell you, like insurance and 97 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: things like that. You don't want to financial planners that's 98 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: going to be selling you stuff because that's a salesperson, 99 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: not a certified financial planner, because oftentimes people will sell 100 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: you things that are that will make money for them, 101 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: like don't even come for me for you financial Advisor's girl, 102 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: because my block game is strong, like whole life insurance, 103 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: which is largely a poor fit for most people. You 104 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: pay seven hundred dollars a month for a million dollar 105 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: policy when you could be paying forty dollars a month 106 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: for a term policy for thirty years as an average 107 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: forty year one who doesn't smoke, and that six hundred 108 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: and fifty sixty bucks you could be investing, you know. 109 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: So so some financial advisors will be selling you that 110 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: because they get so much money on the back end. 111 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: They don't get much money with term. So that's why 112 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: I want you a certified financial planner. They're not selling 113 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: you anything. I prefer you pay out of pocket. You 114 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: can pay monthly. You could even just pay for a plan, 115 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: you know, like you don't even have to if you 116 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: don't want to work with them for a year. You 117 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: could just say how much to work with you for 118 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: this particular situation. You know. Sometimes you they're like, oh, 119 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: this is a three month process and it might cost you, 120 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: say fifteen hundred, two thousand dollars or whatever. Just so 121 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: you know the math. You could pay on the low 122 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: end for financial plan if you are going to pay monthly, 123 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: you're looking at like five hundred bucks a month. On 124 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: the high end. I want to say, well, I don't 125 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: know if this is not the highest but I'll tell 126 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: you what I pay. Let me see calculated, because I 127 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: pay about fifteen thousand dollars for the year. But my 128 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: financial planner, certified financial planner, Ajulie doesn't just do me personally. 129 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: She also does my businesses. So thousand for all of 130 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: that divided by twelve o'kirl, fifteen thousand. I think I 131 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: pay in fifteen thousand, give or take, divided by twelve. 132 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,119 Speaker 1: So for Angelie, that's twelve hundred and fifty dollars a month, 133 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: which sounds like a lot. But she does the Liberatary Academy. 134 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: In my business, she does the Budgetista, and she does me. 135 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: So that's for all three of us. So yeah, so 136 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: and so because of that, it's a write off for me. 137 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: So that's on the super high end. Yeah. So that's 138 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: what I would suggest for you to doctor divorce. And 139 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want you to make a move with the 140 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: debt and the student loans until you sat with the 141 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: planner because it's important to understand holistically your life and 142 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: then they can help you decide with that two hundred thousand, 143 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: what's the best way to reduce your taxes, to minimize 144 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: your debt, and to move forward with your goals. Okay, 145 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: all right, well we're gonna take a quick break and 146 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna be back with our second question. Y'all. We'll 147 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: be back okay, and I'm back and black and sweating child. 148 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,559 Speaker 1: It is how under these lights, all of the lights. Okay, 149 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: we got someone. So if you don't want us to 150 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: say your name, please give us a fake name. So 151 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: she said you would call me Sash. Okay. My husband 152 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: and I have been married for five years and we 153 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: have a three year old Okay. I have always made 154 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: more money, which is very typical, like you know, people 155 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: don't want to say, but many, many, many women make 156 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: more money than their partners, and we split household bills 157 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: equitably given the income difference estimated seventy thousand dollars for 158 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: him versus one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars salary 159 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: for me. Okay, So what she means by equitably, it 160 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: just might mean like twenty percent of her income ghost 161 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: to bills and twenty percent of his income ghost to bills, 162 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: although the number might be different. Obviously it is. Unfortunately 163 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: our match is becoming increasingly strained. Ooh, and feel that 164 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: it may end. I'm sorry, to hear that while we 165 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: work through counseling to see if we can work it out, 166 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: I'm acutely aware that me making more may put me 167 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: at a disadvantage in divorce. Okay, what steps would you 168 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: recommend me to protect my savings that has been accumulating 169 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 1: largely before our marriage and completely from my own money, 170 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: Oh girl, In the event that the worst happens, I 171 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: want to ensure I can provide for my child comfortably, hopeful, 172 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: but pragmatic. So you're being really smart. Here's the thing. 173 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: So when my late husband and Najerill got married, you know, 174 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: I had already started the budgetist. I had already started 175 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: the literature academy. So I had a prenup because I said, 176 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: you know, although I loved him dearly, obviously that's why 177 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: we get married. I said, if something were to happen, 178 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: I didn't want that my businesses would be under fire, 179 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: and so we had a prenumtial agreement. So, as a result, 180 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: the prenumptial agreement basically stated that the stuff that I 181 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: brought into the marriage before getting married belongs to me, 182 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: when like my businesses and such, and the stuff that 183 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: he brought into the marriage belonged to him, like you know, 184 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: any money that he had set aside, and that anything 185 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 1: that happened during the marriage belongs to both of us. 186 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: And unfortunately, depending on where you live, that's likely going 187 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: to be the case that even though you have savings 188 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: from your own money when you're married, and no such 189 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: thing as your own money unless you have a prenum 190 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: stating that. This is my understanding. I'm not at a toorney. 191 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: So here's what I would do. Hold on, let me 192 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 1: go get the book. Actually have her with me. Who 193 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: was perfect. Oh okay, so I have this book. I'm 194 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: holding it up. If you're watching on YouTube, it would 195 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: be helpful. It's called financially Lit by Deanie Torres. We 196 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: actually had her on the show. Now here's the thing. 197 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: Denice went through a divorce. She was making significantly more 198 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: than her partner, and I would follow Denise J A 199 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: N N E S E. Taurus. I would follow Denise. Oh, 200 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: what is her name on? Her name is not? I 201 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: can't remember what her name is on Instagram. I was 202 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: just type in Jenny's torus. I can't remember what her 203 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: name is on Instagram. No, that's not her. It's not 204 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: Financially Lit Girl, What is your name? The Modern Latina's Guide? 205 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 1: Oh lord, I can't remember. But anyway, Denise went through 206 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: a divorce, it went in her favor. She, like you, 207 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: was worried about those things. So I would follow her 208 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: because I believe that she has created posts about how 209 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: she was able to navigate financially and come out ahead 210 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: despite you know, her making more money than her ex husband. 211 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: So and I think she might have even created aside 212 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: from her book Financially Lit, which I don't know if 213 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: it's out yet, but it might be. I think she 214 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 1: might have created some like tools and resources. But I 215 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: would follow look through some of her posts, especially some 216 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: of her later posts or her earlier posts, because she 217 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: talked about it a lot. I might even hit her up. 218 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna lie yeah and just say hey, 219 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: do you have anything, because she would be the perfect 220 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: person because she she was able to do so and 221 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: do so perfectly. You know, we love the Latinas around 222 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: here on the Brown Girls, So that's what I would do. 223 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 1: But just know that money that you accumulated like separately, 224 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: you know, like even while in the marriage, is considered 225 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: probably meritable marriage property, like collectively together, So I think 226 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: you are doing the smartest thing, which is to ask around. 227 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: I would also engage potentially in an attorney to ask 228 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: those things now too, because I too am pragmatic. That's 229 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,599 Speaker 1: why as much as I loved my husband, I'll know 230 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: I love Superman down to the ground as much as 231 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: I loved him, I had a free nup because I 232 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 1: loved him so much. But I said, just in case, 233 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: just in case. So because I said, I'm still pragmatic 234 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: as well, because things happen. You can love somebody and 235 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: it just not work out or whatever. So one I 236 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: would be reaching out to an attorney just ask some 237 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: questions to say, like what things I can do based 238 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 1: upon your state, and then I would reach out to 239 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: Janice torres on Ig. I would follow her with some 240 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: of the things. Like I said, I'm almost positive when 241 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: she was going through her things that she was like 242 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: posting some tips and tricks, and if not, I was 243 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: side on her DMS because she is super chill, super nice, 244 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: super smart. Well, Sasha, I hope it does work out. 245 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: Because marriages can certainly be hard work a lot of effort. 246 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that just because something requires effort does 247 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: not mean that it's not a good thing. You know. 248 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 1: I pray that if you're wanting it to work out, 249 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: that it does work out, that this is just a 250 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: rough patch, if that's what you're wanting. But I also 251 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: pray that if it doesn't work out, that you have 252 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: prepositioned yourself for financial stability. You know. I don't think 253 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: there's anything wrong with that. I know some people are like, oh, 254 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: I'm here for life if you want a prenup, if 255 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: you and oh girl bye. Like I said, I love 256 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: my husband down to the ground. And we had a 257 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: prenumptial agreement because I just said, God forbid anything happened, 258 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: because anything can happen. God forbid anything can anything should happen. 259 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: I want to make sure that I'm protected, my businesses 260 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 1: are protected, and my future is protected. But it didn't 261 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: mean he was left out. We built things together. That absolutely. 262 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: We purchased homes together. We did, you know. And when 263 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: I say together, most of the money that we purchased 264 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: the homes with was me, not even most it was 265 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: my husband. The money that he made, because he made 266 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: significantly less than me, we put it toward the bills. 267 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: And then the money that I made, we saved and 268 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: we invested it, so our investment accounts we would have 269 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: had to split fifty to fifty and the homes purchased. 270 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: And I was okay with that because I said to myself, well, 271 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: this happened during the marriage, but I was not okay 272 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: with split in the business that I had created before 273 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: him if something were to have happened. You know. So 274 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: just like there's nothing wrong I think with being like 275 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: smart about as a woman about your money. Like I said, 276 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: I wish you well either way.
