Speaker 1: Holiday holiday is Monday?
Speaker 2: Is that okay?
Speaker 3: That's a holiday, Madonna? Come on, I was.
Speaker 2: Gonna say it would be it would be so nice.
Speaker 3: That's the right, that's the right song. Y'all got us
Speaker 3: working on a holiday.
Speaker 2: Yes see, the love that love.
Speaker 3: You are laboring, it's the labor of love. On this
Speaker 3: labor day, I.
Speaker 2: Have to come to my old echoey office just to
Speaker 2: get away from all the bumping sounds of Newark, of
Speaker 2: people playing their amazing music and cooking their delicious food refuge.
Speaker 2: I know. I mean, I'm not even gonna lie. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm all right, but I'm like, I'm not. I mean,
Speaker 2: I put on like two pounds from the ten that
Speaker 2: I lost, and I'm like, but why I'm eating grass?
Speaker 3: Listen? I was. I almost was glad to tell you
Speaker 3: the story of the ribs that I had this weekend.
Speaker 3: And then I remember who I was talking to.
Speaker 2: And I love watching the Food Channel. You should just
Speaker 2: see me looking mouth a gape, like, oh it looks
Speaker 2: so good. Oh, but I'm holding on. I'm holding on,
Speaker 2: Oh holding on. I mean, I do have way more energy.
Speaker 2: My skin is on fleak. My sister's like, what is
Speaker 2: going on? With your skin. It looks amazing. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I know, but like gaining the two pounds was very
Speaker 2: discouraging because I'm like, why, I'm literally not eating anything.
Speaker 2: I mean I'm eating, but you know, like I'm not,
Speaker 2: and I'm I don't know. Maybe it's the carves I don't.
Speaker 2: I mean, well, I'm carving out.
Speaker 3: You can weigh two pounds less in the morning, and
Speaker 3: the end of the day you'll like gain four pounds,
Speaker 3: like the body just just maybe you just need to
Speaker 3: go to the bathroom and then like it'll be down
Speaker 3: like two two rounds. I feel like, I feel like
Speaker 3: weighing yourself is almost like googling yourself. Like if you're
Speaker 3: gonna weigh yourself and you see the good news, you
Speaker 3: have to always be prepared for like the bad news too,
Speaker 3: Like for every good headline about yourself, you're gonna read
Speaker 3: something terrible and it's just like the gamble, the risk
Speaker 3: you take when you get on that scale.
Speaker 2: No, you're right though, because every day I'm like, come on,
Speaker 2: come on, come on, scale, and I'm like, they get
Speaker 2: off the scale.
Speaker 3: I mean really, like for me, it's more about can
Speaker 3: I get in these pants? Can I get in those pants.
Speaker 3: This is a good day. I certainly can't get into
Speaker 3: any pants because this Labor Day weekend. We came back early,
Speaker 3: but we went to a friend's place who has this
Speaker 3: really nice, really nice home on a lake like upstate
Speaker 3: close to Syracuse, and they had been talking about going
Speaker 3: to this fair and I wasn't really paying attention because
Speaker 3: work was kind of all over the place, and I
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll be there, I'll be
Speaker 3: there whatever. I had no idea. It was like the
Speaker 3: New York State Fair. This thing was massive. It was
Speaker 3: like three football fields wide. There wasn't just one ferris wheel,
Speaker 3: that were three ferris wheels. There were giraffes. I fed.
Speaker 3: I fed a giraffe at the fair. It was the
Speaker 3: coolest thing ever. Yeah you could. I felt really bad, Okay,
Speaker 3: I felt I stole some kids. Joy It's just a
Speaker 3: little bit because I had an advantage being a tall
Speaker 3: person in a crowd of children and children I can't
Speaker 3: and you know, you spend your two dollars, you get
Speaker 3: a little bag of corn, I mean a little bag
Speaker 3: of carrot sticks, and everyone else seemed to get the
Speaker 3: bag with like the big carrot sticks, the long ones
Speaker 3: and I got the little like the baby carrot sticks
Speaker 3: and I was like, damn, I gotta get really close
Speaker 3: to this giraffe now. But yeah, the giraffe he leaned
Speaker 3: over and their tongues are so long and yeah there
Speaker 3: so long and they're like black and anyway, it was awesome.
Speaker 3: But I guess after I finished my bag of carrots,
Speaker 3: he got really full and he just like sat down and.
Speaker 2: Was not I'm good. I know they're like, I hate
Speaker 2: that girl.
Speaker 3: No, it was the best. We were the rides and
Speaker 3: ate the funnel cake and got dinosaur barbecue and it
Speaker 3: was just like a It was like a six hour,
Speaker 3: eight hour day at the which I haven't done that ever.
Speaker 2: Like country fairs, they're really big. Like we were talking about.
Speaker 3: The was it Montana, Minnesota?
Speaker 2: Minnesota. I know it's an m but like they have
Speaker 2: a huge fair and people are like it's an event
Speaker 2: I've always wanted to go to, like you know, like
Speaker 2: one of the fingers that you see on TV where
Speaker 2: it's like this huge event.
Speaker 3: They had butter sculptures, They had a dare there was
Speaker 3: like one hole. Yeah, there was like a butter sculpture
Speaker 3: exhibit where they had the butter. It was a scene
Speaker 3: all carved out of butter life sized men. They were
Speaker 3: like dairy farmers. Yeah I'm not kidding. And that was
Speaker 3: in the middle of a giant like expo for milk.
Speaker 3: So they had like all the ice cream. There's like
Speaker 3: a chocolate milk bar, like they literally had chocolate milk
Speaker 3: on tap and then you can go from there to
Speaker 3: the real dairy bar in which was like all these
Speaker 3: prize winning cows. I know, you think of like cows
Speaker 3: being like the stinky like spotted cows you see on
Speaker 3: the side of the road or whatever. I want. Beautiful
Speaker 3: cows exist and they were in this. They were like gorgeous.
Speaker 3: They all had nice like reddish brown coats and they
Speaker 3: were just like, oh.
Speaker 2: These are the the supermata cows.
Speaker 3: Yeah, theah Victoria's secret counts.
Speaker 2: Wow, just walk up these cows out like you could
Speaker 2: never your cow could never.
Speaker 3: And it didn't even smell that bad. They were like
Speaker 3: being groomed and like all their you know, their droppings
Speaker 3: were being carted away because.
Speaker 2: Wow, these cows are live in a live These are
Speaker 2: those privileged cows that talk about cow lives matter. We're like,
Speaker 2: we do cow lives matter.
Speaker 3: This is the one percent. You came to brand ambition
Speaker 3: to learn about uh both big phones and dairy cows. No,
Speaker 3: it was. It was a great time at a good time.
Speaker 3: And now I'm so worn out. I don't have any
Speaker 3: plans for the actual Labor Day holiday.
Speaker 2: I don't know me either, really, honestly, my plans are
Speaker 2: too I guess I'll make myself a veggie burger because
Speaker 2: everybody else is going to be eating delicious charred meat
Speaker 2: that I had to buy from the supermarket, but in exchange,
Speaker 2: Superman did all the cleaning. I hate cleaning, honestly. One
Speaker 2: of the things when I finally get this house, I'll
Speaker 2: give you guys an update soon. But when I finally
Speaker 2: get this house, man, one of the first things I'm
Speaker 2: gonna do is get myself a not a housekeeper, but
Speaker 2: like a cleaning service at least twice a month.
Speaker 3: That's a nice treat for yourself.
Speaker 2: I am because honestly, I hate I mean, I don't
Speaker 2: the dishes are but I hate. I'm not gonna mop,
Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen. I don't like sweeping. I hate
Speaker 2: doing the bathroom like I hate cleaning, So I'm always
Speaker 2: like switching off with Superman, because yeah, he actually is,
Speaker 2: like he enjoys like cleaning. Well, I mean it's like therapeutic,
Speaker 2: Like I like cooking, And although I don't like food shopping,
Speaker 2: I will exchange food shopping for cleaning. I'm like, well
Speaker 2: I'll food shop. He's like all right, because he hates
Speaker 2: food shopping. So you know, we're trying to make it
Speaker 2: work over here at the Super's house.
Speaker 3: Do you feel like you're supposed to get You feel
Speaker 3: like by the time you get married, you're supposed to
Speaker 3: have the rhythm in place over who does what, and
Speaker 3: like how the chores are divided. I don't really have
Speaker 3: a blueprint for this because my parents flit when I
Speaker 3: was so young. But like, and I am being married now,
Speaker 3: Like I'm like, why are we bickering over the dishes?
Speaker 3: It's your turn? No, it's your turn, Like we're literally
Speaker 3: having but I did it this week, but the trash
Speaker 3: is stinky. But I didn't put the I didn't put
Speaker 3: I didn't through the food in the trash. That was you, Like,
Speaker 3: why can't you put your shoes on the shoe rack? Waddy?
Speaker 3: You know, like those ridiculous conversations.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, no, you're right. That's why I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm getting myself well and not that every two weeks
Speaker 2: it's going to be, but at least it'll take care
Speaker 2: of like the heavy lifting, you know, like the day
Speaker 2: to day stuff, Like I don't mind straightening up, like
Speaker 2: he always says, like whenever it's my time to clean,
Speaker 2: he's like, you don't clean, you straighten up, And I.
Speaker 3: Do, like you put all the pile of mail in
Speaker 3: a little smaller pile.
Speaker 2: Yes, I straighten everything up. Everything looks all. So if
Speaker 2: at first you're like, oh, what's me down here, then
Speaker 2: you realize, wait, it's still the same stuff. It's just
Speaker 2: well organized. And I'm like, really, well, maybe you could
Speaker 2: show me how again.
Speaker 3: As I watched were you a messy? I feel like
Speaker 3: the big lie of adulthood as well is that you'll
Speaker 3: get better at stuff as you get older. I've always
Speaker 3: been a messy kid, and I'm a messy grown up
Speaker 3: and I am and I.
Speaker 2: Swear like like my dad is like like Superman, and
Speaker 2: I'm like my mom, Like my dad used to always
Speaker 2: fuss with My mom had so much stuff and it
Speaker 2: was everywhere. My dad was just secretly like throwing stuff
Speaker 2: away that she wouldn't even miss anywhere until ten years later.
Speaker 2: She's like, have you seen my lipstick? You know? Ten
Speaker 2: years later He's like, whatever, I threw that away ten
Speaker 2: years ago, you didn't even need it. And so that's
Speaker 2: him now because I'm like, where's my book bag, where's
Speaker 2: my this? He's like, Tiffany, I like, do those things away?
Speaker 2: Like three months ago, I'm like, you're doing away? That
Speaker 2: was my favorite, peeling, skunky book bag. I was gonna
Speaker 2: wash it. And so I'm trying to do bad. That's
Speaker 2: so I'm like, you know what if I hire help, like,
Speaker 2: for example, laundry, I refuse. I hate doing laundry. Not
Speaker 2: gonna do it, not gonna fold it, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: The most you can get me to do is put
Speaker 2: it away. So I've invested, and even though we have
Speaker 2: a washer dryer, when it's my turn to do the
Speaker 2: mounds of laundry that three people mysteriously produce, I take
Speaker 2: it right to the washing fold and I pay my
Speaker 2: little thirty dollars and kidding me.
Speaker 3: Yo, I know, oh, I remember you said you you
Speaker 3: like you had your grand plan to make your sister
Speaker 3: your personal assistant, and she was gonna do.
Speaker 2: Your weekend and she was like, and I never got
Speaker 2: my money back, Eddie change if I would give her
Speaker 2: like twenty bucks or something and something costs five. I'm like,
Speaker 2: so Lisa my change. She's like what I mean, but gas,
Speaker 2: I'm like, it was down the street. And then she
Speaker 2: wouldn't even bring me my stuff. I'm like, where's my
Speaker 2: dry cleaning? I got tired, so I'm home, so I'm
Speaker 2: going to try to bring about tomorrow. I'm like, literally,
Speaker 2: the dry clean is around the corner, so I could
Speaker 2: have just gone to get it. So she lasted all
Speaker 2: of a weekend. So yeah, no, no personal assistant for me,
Speaker 2: Like I haven't admin for emails, but nobody to run
Speaker 2: Errand's And honestly it's fine because it was actually more
Speaker 2: stressed than to do that myself. But yeah, no, I
Speaker 2: love my They know me. At the washing fold. I'm like,
Speaker 2: she's like, is you're turning again?
Speaker 3: I'm like, sure, is, Well, you have a you have
Speaker 3: a daughter or stepdaughter, and that adds a particular layer
Speaker 3: to the mix that we don't have to deal with
Speaker 3: here because we still do or like I do my laundry.
Speaker 3: He has his hamper, I have my hand. But when
Speaker 3: you have kids. You're right. My mom would literally spend
Speaker 3: weekends just doing laundry. It was a never ending thing.
Speaker 2: It's not even so much her stuff. I find it's
Speaker 2: mostly like his stuff because he, like what he does
Speaker 2: for a living is like physical, you know, like flipping
Speaker 2: apartments and stuff. So it's mostly and I'm usually home
Speaker 2: in my pj's all day working, so when you really
Speaker 2: look at the laundry and that sect like, it's mostly
Speaker 2: his stuff. And like I said, since he does most
Speaker 2: of the cleaning, I'm like, okay, I'll take care of
Speaker 2: the laundry. And for the He's always like, isn't that
Speaker 2: a waste of money? I'm like, uh, for the three
Speaker 2: hours I didn't have to do laundry, you know what,
Speaker 2: thirty dollars I'm willing to pay, and I might. I
Speaker 2: might do that maybe twice a month, so it's not
Speaker 2: to me. The price is worth it, like sixty bucks
Speaker 2: a month to not have to like and they fold
Speaker 2: so well, Like I just picked up today. I was like,
Speaker 2: thank Sylvia, how did you.
Speaker 3: Get it all the same size? And the little bag it's.
Speaker 2: Magical, magical? And then Sylvia knows that there's three but
Speaker 2: I don't even know halfs I know, like I've never
Speaker 2: told her, like I've got a husband and a daughter
Speaker 2: and so but everything she separates all of our things.
Speaker 2: So it's so great. So like her bag, Like I
Speaker 2: give Supergirl her bag, I put it in her room
Speaker 2: so she knows to put her own things away. And
Speaker 2: so typically I'll put away my things and Superman's things,
Speaker 2: and if I'm feeling really lazy, I'll put away my things.
Speaker 2: But it's just it's magical. I look at the bag today,
Speaker 2: I'm like, look at these perfectly rectangular shaped bags. Oh
Speaker 2: but yeah, so yeah, I'm not the I realize I'm
Speaker 2: never going to be super Sussie homemaker. Although I do cook,
Speaker 2: and I enjoy cooking, but other than that, that's the
Speaker 2: only thing that I do that's like.
Speaker 3: Me, you enjoy making a mess, but not because we
Speaker 3: already have a cookie.
Speaker 2: Really is exactly, it's a mess making. And then I'm like,
Speaker 2: why should I have to wash the dishes? I made
Speaker 2: the food? Oh my life for Superman.
Speaker 3: Sure, you guys have a barbecue today?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love a mini barbecue. He's like, I mean, honestly,
Speaker 2: it's just his excuse to feed the neighborhood kids that
Speaker 2: don't always get to eat, like, but all the stuff
Speaker 2: that I bought, I'm like, this is all kids stuff.
Speaker 2: Because he's like, baby, can you get juice boxes? Can
Speaker 2: you get this? Can you get that? I'm like, who
Speaker 2: are we feeding? Because he's adults out here have food,
Speaker 2: and so he really likes making sure like the kids
Speaker 2: in the neighborhood. I told you he's the he's the black.
Speaker 3: Mister rogers're thinking of analogy. I was like, Willy Wonka,
Speaker 3: what do we call it.
Speaker 2: Now, mister Rogers. Every time we walk, like if I
Speaker 2: walk with him or he walked me to the car
Speaker 2: or whatever. Everyone Hey, Superman, Hey some man, how you
Speaker 2: doing here? Man? Superman? Like the kids, everyone, And I'm like, meanwhile,
Speaker 2: no one's like hey hey Superwoman or hey you know.
Speaker 2: Everything is like yeah, and that person with you my
Speaker 2: go on, I'm not, well it was you know what,
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm friendly, but I'm not. I don't know,
Speaker 2: I'm not really wanted to say hi to stranger, you know. So,
Speaker 2: but he's you know, he goes out of his way
Speaker 2: to be extra engaging, and so where I'm like, hey,
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're in my vicinity. You know, I'm
Speaker 2: definitely going to be polite, but I'm not. I don't
Speaker 2: know as much as like I talk as a live
Speaker 2: for a living once, I'm like in my own private space,
Speaker 2: I'm actually on kind of like a quieter, shyer side.
Speaker 3: That's okay. Yeah, introvert, extrovert, exactly, exactly, exactly. Well, I'm
Speaker 3: looking forward to this week. It's going to be a wait,
Speaker 3: how many Monday, Tuesday, three day week for me because
Speaker 3: my mom is getting married on Friday. Oh, miss Lorie Jane. Yeah,
Speaker 3: her wedding. She's marrying. My mom's marrying her high school sweetheart.
Speaker 3: It's all very romantic. So they met in high school
Speaker 3: in Wisconsin on Alaska, Wisconsin, and they dated all through
Speaker 3: high school and then he was off in the military
Speaker 3: and he was gonna propose to her, or he did
Speaker 3: propose to her, and she broke his little heart and
Speaker 3: said no. This was like nineteen seventy eight, I want
Speaker 3: to say. And then she moved from Wisconsin to Atlanta
Speaker 3: with her brothers. Atlanta for some reason, people were like
Speaker 3: moving there, and she never saw him again until she
Speaker 3: moved back to Wisconsin to retire a few years ago,
Speaker 3: and they just rekindled their relationship and now they're getting
Speaker 3: married and it's all going to be very cool, and
Speaker 3: so that I have to look forward to.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm at your mama. I told you your
Speaker 2: mom needs to teach lessons how to how to get
Speaker 2: a man to ask.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's a She's like, I tease her and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: j lo ai. Yeah, she's like, that ain't her first rodeo.
Speaker 3: With all due respect, it ain't her first rodeo. It's
Speaker 3: not even it's not even my first rodeo with her.
Speaker 3: So we'll see.
Speaker 2: Some women are like have been like with the same
Speaker 2: due for like twelve years and they're like, s wait,
Speaker 2: you know your mom's like I know how to get
Speaker 2: them to ask? For real. I really feel like there
Speaker 2: are some women who I don't know what it is
Speaker 2: that have a knack for like men wanting to Like
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3: I honestly wait, what women you have a knack for
Speaker 3: men wanting to marry them?
Speaker 2: Yeah? But like because it's like what is it? I
Speaker 2: wonder like what is it? Because I'm not a man.
Speaker 2: So when a man is like, you know what this is?
Speaker 2: The woman I want to marry. There's like a switch,
Speaker 2: and I find that there are some women who, like
Speaker 2: I have a number of friends who they might not
Speaker 2: have married them all, but have been asked numerous times,
Speaker 2: you know. And then I have other friends who you know,
Speaker 2: been in long term relationships and have never been asked
Speaker 2: or you know what I mean. So I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: what is that, like, what is that trait that makes
Speaker 2: a man say I want to be with this one
Speaker 2: for the rest of my life or at least try
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, her lasagna is really good. I don't know, Well,
Speaker 3: it's just it's really sweet because you know, he wanted
Speaker 3: to marry her forty years ago and he's I know,
Speaker 3: they're finally getting to do it, and she's just so like,
Speaker 3: it's a little weird to see your mom. You know,
Speaker 3: I had a stepdad and it was whatever, that was
Speaker 3: more normal. But now she's just like really like giddy
Speaker 3: and giggly and it's all the first time again, and
Speaker 3: she's really you know, she's planning all the details. It's
Speaker 3: going to be like a small, you know, like fifty
Speaker 3: people wedding, but they're getting married on this really pretty
Speaker 3: like like a bluff and on a mountain in the area,
Speaker 3: and they're they're actually having their reception the same place
Speaker 3: where they had their high school prom.
Speaker 2: Oh that is awesome. So has he ever been married before? Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's divorced and she was recently. She was
Speaker 3: divorced a couple of years ago, so they're both he
Speaker 3: was divorced a little bit longer. I'm putting all their
Speaker 3: business out there, but yeah, they both had prior marriages,
Speaker 3: they both have had children, and.
Speaker 2: Oh, this is good. This is just them.
Speaker 3: This is literally just them, none of the baggage that
Speaker 3: you get when you marry with young kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And also for me too, I'm like, yeah, cool, Greg, nice,
Speaker 3: just hang out with mom. That's nice. You know. I
Speaker 3: don't feel any like pressure to have a relationship or like,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean when you're a kid and
Speaker 3: like you're yeah you know if you yeah, if you
Speaker 3: mean you have a stepdaughter, but like if you are
Speaker 3: also like the child a parent who've remarried when you
Speaker 3: were younger, you know how it's like, you know, there's
Speaker 3: all that that that tension in the background, if like
Speaker 3: the anxiety of like are they going to get along
Speaker 3: and are they going to have a relationship and so
Speaker 3: there's none of that pressure, which I think is making
Speaker 3: everything a lot easier.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say because it's dope, because it's like,
Speaker 2: you know, it's really like it's just us. We don't
Speaker 2: have to you know, she doesn't have to take into
Speaker 2: consideration like I mean it was there was we had
Speaker 2: a rough patch, like in our household with Supergirl adjusting.
Speaker 2: You know, everything was awesome until like we got engaged
Speaker 2: and she was like, wait, she's staying. I was like, wait,
Speaker 2: I thought you liked me. She's like yeah, but like
Speaker 2: that as like a permanent member. She literally said, I
Speaker 2: thought you were gonna be like here today, gone tomorrow.
Speaker 3: I was like, what, it's hurtful. No, I've been I've
Speaker 3: been wondering how things were going, because you did say
Speaker 3: there was a little bit rough stuff.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I would like, it's I don't know what happened
Speaker 2: and what shifted. But she's been like I would say,
Speaker 2: we are eighty five percent back, because at one point,
Speaker 2: you know, that was like my little buddy. We hung
Speaker 2: out like we both have similar interests in Staples and
Speaker 2: Barnes and Nobles, and we would going to museums together.
Speaker 2: So we hung out, you know, almost more than me
Speaker 2: and her father because we had so much, so much
Speaker 2: in common, and so everything was great. And then we
Speaker 2: got engaged, and she took it not so great because
Speaker 2: I guess she was still trying to figure out, well,
Speaker 2: where does that put me? Because in her mind, you know,
Speaker 2: a wife is bigger than a daughter. That's what she
Speaker 2: had convinced herself, you know. And so you know, we
Speaker 2: really tried really hard, like between myself, her father, and
Speaker 2: her mom because we have a great relationship to three
Speaker 2: of us, to really reassure her that like nothing's going
Speaker 2: to change, like it's the same, but it it. You know.
Speaker 2: It was a year and then we got married and
Speaker 2: then things really took a down. She barely spoke to
Speaker 2: me like good morning, and I'll be like okay. And
Speaker 2: then it became the like Tiffany's so mean, and her
Speaker 2: mom and her dad being like, well, that's what I
Speaker 2: love is that they've got great communication with her, Like well,
Speaker 2: how was she mean? I mean, she's say good morning
Speaker 2: and I didn't say good morning, and then she say
Speaker 2: good morning again. I heard her, and I'm like okay,
Speaker 2: you know, so it was like really grasping for straws
Speaker 2: or like, I remember, nobody had given her something and
Speaker 2: she didn't say thank you, and I said, Alyssa, what
Speaker 2: do you say? And then she told her mom Tiffany
Speaker 2: saw me, I was gonna say you. I was just
Speaker 2: thinking about it. I was like, wait, how does that mean? Well, like,
Speaker 2: cause honestly, I've talked long enough like I you know,
Speaker 2: I don't. I'm good at like, even if I'm frustrated
Speaker 2: at like not letting it show in my tone. I
Speaker 2: mean literally, I talked three and four year olds, So
Speaker 2: there's nobody more frustrating on this planet than three and
Speaker 2: four year olds. But you learn how to, you know,
Speaker 2: to still be patient and still be kind despite that.
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm pretty good with that. And like her mom,
Speaker 2: that's one thing I have to say. I'm really grateful
Speaker 2: because her mom never once was like Tiffany, what are
Speaker 2: you doing to my daughter? You know? Never it's you know,
Speaker 2: So that's that's what helped a lot. And I don't know,
Speaker 2: I'm not how to lie. I don't know what the
Speaker 2: shift was. I don't know if she finally realized post marriage.
Speaker 2: It's been like what three months now, almost three months
Speaker 2: that like nothing has changed, because in the last couple
Speaker 2: of weeks, like it's been like she'll come in, Hey, Tiffy,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, who MEI hi, you know, And like
Speaker 2: the other day, I was going to Barnes and Nobles
Speaker 2: and I always asked her because I know she likes it,
Speaker 2: but she would say no, even though I know she
Speaker 2: loves Barnes and Nobles. And so I said, I'm going
Speaker 2: to Barnes and Nobles. I'll see you later. She's like, wait,
Speaker 2: I want to go, and I look like with me, okay,
Speaker 2: And so she's back to like talking my ear off,
Speaker 2: which is awesome because like ten year olds are, you know,
Speaker 2: they have this whole drama at school that you know,
Speaker 2: she has to explain every single piece of it, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, wow, it's like like almost like old times. So,
Speaker 2: like I said, I'm not sure what the shift was,
Speaker 2: but I'm really happy about it because it's nice to
Speaker 2: have my it's nice to have my friend back, you know.
Speaker 3: I think the key with young kids and like preteens
Speaker 3: is like just leave them and go, like leave them be,
Speaker 3: and they'll come them back around or they'll start slitting
Speaker 3: their wrists and like get tattoos and stuff. They can
Speaker 3: go either way.
Speaker 2: I was very I was like, dang, I already heard
Speaker 2: teenagers are hard, especially for girls. I was like, I
Speaker 2: wanted at least a few years of like goodness before
Speaker 2: it turns dark, because I heard by the time twelve,
Speaker 2: thirteen and fourteen overline, they're like show, I don't care
Speaker 2: how great she is. Those teenagers are something else. So
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, I want to at least say, a couple
Speaker 2: of years to like really develop a strong relationship with.
Speaker 3: Her, you know, yeah, so yeah, yeah, it's a good
Speaker 3: lookin now.
Speaker 2: Oo chawd. Well, it's that time to break or boost
Speaker 2: break or boost boost or a break. What you're gonna do?
Speaker 3: Boost a break, I'm gonna boost. That was actually really good.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna boost. I read a really cool story. So
Speaker 3: we all remember phill Indo Castile, the gentleman who was
Speaker 3: shot while selling CDs. What was it a gas station
Speaker 3: or somewhere anyway, He was shot by a shot and
Speaker 3: killed by a police officer back a little over a
Speaker 3: year ago, July twenty sixteen, and he worked at a school.
Speaker 3: At the time, he worked in the school cafeteria. Right
Speaker 3: and after his death, people came out saying that when
Speaker 3: he worked at the school, he would always make sure
Speaker 3: the kids, you know, when you forget your lunch money,
Speaker 3: like you have to get the crappy you know, forget
Speaker 3: your lunch money sandwich or whatever, and he would make
Speaker 3: sure that the kids who forgot their money still got
Speaker 3: to eat. And apparently in the wake of his death,
Speaker 3: now that it's been a year, there's been a new
Speaker 3: fund created that wants to carry on that legacy by
Speaker 3: paying for student lunches, which he would, you know, he'd
Speaker 3: dip into his own pockets sometimes to make sure that
Speaker 3: kids got fed. So this is happening. He was, Oh,
Speaker 3: he was a school nutrition service, a supervisor in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Speaker 3: And the fund is called Filando feeds the Children. And yeah,
Speaker 3: it's really it's just really sweet. And I think that's
Speaker 3: just a you know, you don't really hear I don't know,
Speaker 3: you know, you hear about memorial funds and stuff. But
Speaker 3: I think that this is in terms of like carrying
Speaker 3: on the legacy of who this person was, Yeah, and
Speaker 3: like actually putting like making people making sure that people
Speaker 3: know he's not just a murder he was and just
Speaker 3: a black man killed, you know, in a spate of
Speaker 3: police violence. But he was a man who had like
Speaker 3: unique skills and was really special and you know, would
Speaker 3: spend his own money to make sure that kids were fed.
Speaker 3: It's just really sweet and it's nice. So yeah, that
Speaker 3: is really sweet and nice. Honestly, I'm boosting that. And
Speaker 3: I wonder if they have if they have a website.
Speaker 3: So far they've raised they set let's see, Oh yeah
Speaker 3: they've so they set a goal of fund raising five
Speaker 3: thousand dollars and they've already raised over sixteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: So donate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna. I'll check out the link and make
Speaker 3: sure people can. I'll post it on the Brown Ambition
Speaker 3: Podcast website, which is Brown Ambition Podcast dot com dot com.
Speaker 2: No, I think that, honestly, I would love to donate
Speaker 2: because I love the babies, and I know how that
Speaker 2: used to be, like like well, I like, we never
Speaker 2: bought lunch at school. My mom would always send us
Speaker 2: to school with lunch because we didn't have, you know,
Speaker 2: a ton of money to buy lunch at school. But
Speaker 2: I do remember, like, you know, friends who were like
Speaker 2: didn't have or just even when I talked when I
Speaker 2: was a school teacher kids that thankfully our kids they
Speaker 2: would send lunch to was like the board or whoever.
Speaker 2: And so the kids got breakfast and lunch and snack
Speaker 2: because a lot of the kids otherwise wouldn't be able
Speaker 2: to eat. And then we used to get so much excess.
Speaker 2: I would send it even home with the parents, like
Speaker 2: I would pack up certain parents I knew that were
Speaker 2: kind of struggling. And now I remember, I don't know
Speaker 2: if it was the board or who came in they
Speaker 2: saw me do that once They're like, oh, you're not
Speaker 2: allowed to give away the food. It's a liability, you
Speaker 2: know that. You know they if they get sick at home,
Speaker 2: they could come and sue and da dah. And I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, yeah, okay, yeah. So for ten years
Speaker 2: I packed up the lunch and sent Are you crazy,
Speaker 2: I'm not throwing away gallons of milk and food like
Speaker 2: we And we never got sued. I mean, I guess
Speaker 2: I get it, but there's no way, cause they wanted
Speaker 2: you to throw out the excess food for the day
Speaker 2: and then pour bleach on it. I'm like, what.
Speaker 3: Kind of poor bleach on it?
Speaker 2: So bad way people wouldn't go and eat it and
Speaker 2: then sue you, Oh lord, yeah, But I never did that.
Speaker 2: We always gave it away because I'm like, what I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess I got it in theory, but I'm like,
Speaker 2: so no, so we're so somebody other parents. I remember that.
Speaker 2: That's what was so sad about closing the center, because
Speaker 2: the center was like the daycare center was really the
Speaker 2: center of this community. It was at the bottom of
Speaker 2: this project building, the thirteen story high project building, where
Speaker 2: every type of age lived there. People were struggling with
Speaker 2: drug addiction and poverty, and but the center was like
Speaker 2: this bright this bright light. The kids were awesome and
Speaker 2: beautiful and smart. And the food that we got we
Speaker 2: got such extra that we used to give to people
Speaker 2: in the building too, And so people thought that I
Speaker 2: was actually I was like the leader of a food program.
Speaker 2: They didn't know because I would every day, knew every day,
Speaker 2: and there were certain people, certain elderly people that would
Speaker 2: like really look forward to the They'd be like, oh, that's
Speaker 2: the food program, lady. I'm like, oh no, no, I'm just
Speaker 2: a teacher. And there They're like, yeah, okay, but do
Speaker 2: you have the milk today?
Speaker 3: And I'm like okay, Well, we talked about this before,
Speaker 3: like kids can actually get into debt, Like there's such
Speaker 3: thing as school lunch debt, where like if you you
Speaker 3: know you you if you don't have money for lunch
Speaker 3: and your parents won't have money and actually send you
Speaker 3: to food, send you to school with anything. You know,
Speaker 3: you're still I think you're still have to get something.
Speaker 3: But they can actually charge like put on your account
Speaker 3: you know how much in debt you are, and at
Speaker 3: the beginning of the school year, like ask your parents
Speaker 3: for all those fees. So the Fialando Fund, like it's
Speaker 3: part of just like this growing movement to pay off
Speaker 3: children's school lunch debt, and I just I just want
Speaker 3: I just double checked their website. They've actually raised over
Speaker 3: fifty five thousand dollars now and the fundraiser put up
Speaker 3: a message saying that with fifty thousand dollars they should
Speaker 3: be able to pay off all the lunch debt for
Speaker 3: children in Philando Castile School District, which is pretty and
Speaker 3: it's also pretty freakin sad that there's such thing as
Speaker 3: school lunch debt, but that is the world.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not going to be so sunshiny. I'm going
Speaker 2: to break.
Speaker 3: And a dark cloud has come over.
Speaker 2: Well, it's not really crazy, it's just so I'm still,
Speaker 2: you know, looking for a house. I know it's crazy,
Speaker 2: but I'm going to break on bad service because as
Speaker 2: I've been looking, it has taught me a lot, especially
Speaker 2: like dealing with all the people that are involved when
Speaker 2: you're buying a house. Mortgage people, lawyer, realtors, all that
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. And so you know, because you know,
Speaker 2: this home buying is really like a service business because
Speaker 2: you yourself don't own the home. You know, you're you're
Speaker 2: instead creating or making the transaction possible for the two
Speaker 2: parties that want to connect, connect and exchange of property
Speaker 2: for money. And so I've had really amazing service providers
Speaker 2: in this process. Like my mortgage guy, David is amazing.
Speaker 2: I mean, like one I just love because if I
Speaker 2: get on the phone with David, ask him a question.
Speaker 2: He's really an educator. So like, you know, I don't
Speaker 2: know all the ins and outs of every mortgage, but
Speaker 2: he sits down and takes the time and explains, like well,
Speaker 2: why I think this choice is best, and why I
Speaker 2: think this choice is best. And so David's been amazing.
Speaker 2: I've definitely had some realtors that have been great, like
Speaker 2: one realtor. She was pretty good, but she was eight
Speaker 2: months pregnant, so after like you know, a month, I
Speaker 2: was like, girl, you need to sit down, like you
Speaker 2: can't keep coming up and down the stairs. And then
Speaker 2: I definitely had some realtors that weren't so great, like
Speaker 2: I had one. Although she was really nice, she wasn't timely.
Speaker 2: So I would ask her like, hey, is this property available,
Speaker 2: and it would take her two days to get back
Speaker 2: to me. By then it was sold because Newark is
Speaker 2: hot right now. But just most recently I had a
Speaker 2: real I hope she doesn't listen. If she does, I
Speaker 2: don't even care. I had a realtor and I'm like,
Speaker 2: what is happening because and I'm not certain if she's
Speaker 2: just not being truthful or maybe she's just not effective.
Speaker 2: She's younger like in her I would say, late twenties,
Speaker 2: early thirties. So you know, I've been she's been sending
Speaker 2: me properties and I've been expressing interest, but nothing's been happening.
Speaker 2: So I sent her one property in particular, and I said, hey,
Speaker 2: I want to see this property. I called the guy.
Speaker 2: It was for sale by owner, and we were texting
Speaker 2: back and forth and he said, yes, the property is
Speaker 2: still available. So I called her and said, hey, the
Speaker 2: property is available, make you know can you make an appointment?
Speaker 2: So two days later, I'm hitting her up like, hey,
Speaker 2: you know any any movement on this property? And she'said oh,
Speaker 2: I called him, but he didn't. He didn't respond, and
Speaker 2: I said, well sometimes with him as best to text.
Speaker 2: So I saw her again a day later and she
Speaker 2: was like, oh, I text him and he didn't respond.
Speaker 2: Little does she know that? Literally, while I was waiting
Speaker 2: for her because she was late for our meeting. While
Speaker 2: I was waiting for her, I text him and I said, hey,
Speaker 2: it's me again. Property is still available. He said yep, he said.
Speaker 2: I said, what do you need for me to come
Speaker 2: see it? He just said proof of income. So I
Speaker 2: sent him a bank statement, like literally standing on the
Speaker 2: corner waiting for her, and he said, you want to
Speaker 2: see it now? And I'm like, so, she's just not
Speaker 2: being truthful because you just told me that. Like, I
Speaker 2: can't get in contact with him. It's been a week.
Speaker 2: I've been calling, texting, and every time I've text and
Speaker 2: called him, he's been super responsive. And so I was
Speaker 2: like well, I couldn't obviously see it then, and so
Speaker 2: I said, so I scheduled it for the next morning.
Speaker 2: So I just went with me and Superman went by ourselves.
Speaker 2: We looked at it, we decided we didn't like it.
Speaker 2: And just most recently, there's the property she'd sent me,
Speaker 2: and I said, I drove by. I said, oh, it's nice.
Speaker 2: I'd like to see it. And she was just like, oh,
Speaker 2: I can't figure out who owns it. We can't cause
Speaker 2: it was foreclosed. We can't figure out. I've been calling
Speaker 2: the banks and this and that, and you know, and
Speaker 2: I was just like, okay, you know, even if it's
Speaker 2: sight unseen, because it's such a great deal, I would
Speaker 2: even be willing to possibly purchase this without seeing the
Speaker 2: inside because of the location and the price cash and so,
Speaker 2: you know, it's been two weeks of like, oh, I
Speaker 2: still can't figure out, and then maybe two A few
Speaker 2: days ago, I saw that it was on an auction
Speaker 2: site and I said, hey, I see it on this
Speaker 2: auction site. Did you know that it was here? And
Speaker 2: she was like oh no, And I'm like, well, then
Speaker 2: how do we bid? And she said, I'll get back
Speaker 2: to you. So by now, I'm just frustrated. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I don't even know what's happening. So I called a
Speaker 2: friend of mine, Mark, who's one of my best friends,
Speaker 2: and I said, Mark, I need a good realtor because
Speaker 2: I just can't. And so he's like, well, my realtor
Speaker 2: is a beast. I was like, yeah, people everybody said that.
Speaker 2: He's like, no, no, no, she is a beast. Like if
Speaker 2: I text her three o'clock in the morning, she texted
Speaker 2: me back. I'm like what, I'm like, all right, connect
Speaker 2: you with her. So that day I text her. She said,
Speaker 2: can I call you back in ten minutes. We got
Speaker 2: on the phone, and within thirty minutes of me speaking
Speaker 2: to her, I was inside of that house and had
Speaker 2: already put a bid in on the auction. I couldn't
Speaker 2: believe it. She was phenomenal. That was like, because I
Speaker 2: told her, I was like, oh, we can't get in
Speaker 2: the house. She's like, who's that? You know what? She called?
Speaker 2: She called around and she said, you know what, I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna drive there and the owner. I didn't realize this,
Speaker 2: but you know, when these houses are foreclosed, the bank
Speaker 2: information is like staple to the door. And she was
Speaker 2: able to reach out to them. Able to get the cold.
Speaker 2: There's a lock box on the house. Get the cold.
Speaker 2: She said, I'm here, come on down. The house is
Speaker 2: only a few minutes from my house now, so Superman
Speaker 2: and I drove by. We were able to walk to
Speaker 2: the house. It's gorgeous. We wanted to get it. She
Speaker 2: was like the other woman that had actually the old
Speaker 2: realtor had told me that, like, if you put a
Speaker 2: bid in, every time you put a bid in two
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars. So I suggest you don't bid.
Speaker 2: It's going to go back to the to the bank
Speaker 2: because these bidding sites are not real, and it's going
Speaker 2: to go back to the bank, and then you could
Speaker 2: buy it when the bank gets it back. But it's
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty dollars every time you bid. And
Speaker 2: I was like, really, because I can read and I
Speaker 2: didn't see that on the site. But maybe I'm missing something.
Speaker 2: So I asked the new realtor, Amina, you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know if I want to use this site because
Speaker 2: I heard it's two hundred fifty dollars. She's like, who
Speaker 2: told you that it's not on the site. And then
Speaker 2: she called them and they were like no, And since then,
Speaker 2: I like, because you know, when you bid, everybody else's bidet,
Speaker 2: so you're trying to outfit each other. I've bid like
Speaker 2: eight times no charges, and so I'm like, what is happening?
Speaker 2: So either you're untruthful or you're just incompetent. I don't
Speaker 2: either way, I'm like so over it. But I'm just
Speaker 2: really grateful because all of these realtors that I've gone through,
Speaker 2: it's led me to Amina, who is a beast. This
Speaker 2: is a woman who has three jobs. She owns this
Speaker 2: brokerage realtor like this firm with her family. She works well,
Speaker 2: I won't say, but she has two other jobs, and
Speaker 2: she's got five kids, girls, all under the age of seven.
Speaker 2: And mean, while she looked twelve years old, you're like,
Speaker 2: I mean, she's like twelve years old and like one
Speaker 2: hundred pounds soaking wet. But met me out there and
Speaker 2: she was like, Honestly, I've learned to be very efficient
Speaker 2: because I like to spend time with my daughters and
Speaker 2: my family and so you know, I don't waste any time.
Speaker 2: And so I sent her a list of foreclosure properties
Speaker 2: that I was interested in looking at. I had sent
Speaker 2: this list to the other girl a while ago, because
Speaker 2: the other girl had sent me maybe like a link
Speaker 2: to like two hundred foreclosure properties. She said, I'll go
Speaker 2: through them, but she was dragging her feet. So I
Speaker 2: went through them all, got it down to twenty, and
Speaker 2: then highlighted the six I like best. I heard nothing
Speaker 2: back from the other girl Amina day two of our interaction,
Speaker 2: she said, I drove by all the properties on the
Speaker 2: list that you sent me. Here are my favorites, and
Speaker 2: I created a spreadsheet of when they're going to be
Speaker 2: auctioned off and when we can hit the auction. This
Speaker 2: is day two. Day one, we're bidding on a house,
Speaker 2: and inside this property, day two, she's creating spreadsheets. I
Speaker 2: could cry with relief. And so it's almost like a
Speaker 2: boost break, a break from people who do not deliver.
Speaker 2: I don't think I even ask for that much. Truthfully.
Speaker 2: I like to I personally that when I'm working with someone,
Speaker 2: I like to meet you seventy percent. All I need
Speaker 2: is thirty from you. Like I'm a doer, you know,
Speaker 2: so if I'm hiring for something like I, you know,
Speaker 2: and I'm also pretty anal about the way I like
Speaker 2: things done. So I like to do a lot of
Speaker 2: the work. And I told her that, like, I'm going
Speaker 2: to do a lot of the heavy lifting. I just
Speaker 2: need you to do the stuff that I can't legally
Speaker 2: do because I'm not I'm not a realtor. And so
Speaker 2: she has I mean, she doesn't even realize she's fired.
Speaker 2: But Amina, I'm like, thank you, girl. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: Amina doesn't listen, but I'm like, girl, you have restored
Speaker 2: my faith and rilters. You are amazing. I have never
Speaker 2: seen yo, Amina hustles harder than me. And I'm like,
Speaker 2: that doesn't really happen. When I work with certain people
Speaker 2: that are like usually they're like vactively leave me with
Speaker 2: something to do. And I'm like, so yeah, So for
Speaker 2: those of you who are like, you know, in service businesses,
Speaker 2: like like, please deliver at the very least the bare minimum.
Speaker 2: I don't even know what the other girl was thinking,
Speaker 2: Like I said, I don't know if she was just
Speaker 2: being untruthful or maybe she was trying and she just
Speaker 2: wasn't affected. I don't know which is worth, you know,
Speaker 2: being unaffective or being untruthful. Budd Either way, you gone, girl, gown.
Speaker 2: You know, I wish you luck, but not with me.
Speaker 2: I mean egg girl. We're betties now. So that is
Speaker 2: my brown booth break.
Speaker 3: Well, it's kind of a good segue for the questions
Speaker 3: that we have for today. O God, because we have
Speaker 3: a question I can really identify with this young lady.
Speaker 3: So question from Ashley. She's thirty four years old and
Speaker 3: she has a question about how do you decide when
Speaker 3: it makes sense to relocate when you're doing okay in
Speaker 3: a certain area already. So here's her situation. Ashley says,
Speaker 3: my fiancee and I are both thirty four years old
Speaker 3: and we currently live in Virginia Beach. We've lived here
Speaker 3: for less than six years. He has good job and
Speaker 3: I'm doing decently well in my career. We're both working
Speaker 3: to pay off debt and to eventually invest in residential
Speaker 3: real estate. We own our primary residence right now, but
Speaker 3: the issue is that we don't really love the area
Speaker 3: so much. We enjoy being close to the beach and
Speaker 3: the cost of living is very reasonable, but we don't
Speaker 3: have a lot of close friends. The area is politically conservative,
Speaker 3: and it doesn't offer the best job opportunities in my field.
Speaker 3: We're considering relocating to the DC metro area. We both
Speaker 3: have close friends and family there. It's more liberal, there
Speaker 3: are better job opportunities, and there's a great arts and
Speaker 3: culture scene. The downside is the traffic and the high
Speaker 3: cost of living, and of course the expense of buying
Speaker 3: a home there, which they'd like to invest in real estate.
Speaker 3: So what is your advice on making this decision? Does
Speaker 3: it make sense to leave or stay where we are
Speaker 3: comfortable and living beneath our means?
Speaker 2: Well, I wonder is there a way to rent out
Speaker 2: where you live now? You know, so that way it
Speaker 2: can help with your if you decide to move.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'd be that'd be like the first logical step,
Speaker 3: Like if you want extra income to go toward your
Speaker 3: life in Washington, Yeah, renting out the house that you
Speaker 3: live in seems like a smart way to go. Then
Speaker 3: you become a landlord. Then it's like that's an extra layer.
Speaker 3: That's the kind of thing that always sounds to me
Speaker 3: really like it makes perfect sentence on paper, like I
Speaker 3: would just buy something and then I'll rent it out
Speaker 3: and I'll get income from that, But like what actually
Speaker 3: goes into that and how complex can that be to
Speaker 3: be a landlord?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well I've been a landlord and it could be
Speaker 2: as simple as, honestly, if you've got a great tenant,
Speaker 2: like I had an awesome tenant when I rented out
Speaker 2: my condo. She used to literally write me out her
Speaker 2: checks for the year. We would meet once a year
Speaker 2: and she would write me all the checks like you know,
Speaker 2: January first, Jebruary second, you know first, and then if
Speaker 2: anything broke in the house, she would get like two
Speaker 2: quotes and then pay for and then set me out
Speaker 2: a replacement check minus what she paid. So she was amazing.
Speaker 2: Although she was young, she used to have like I
Speaker 2: don't know, the neighbors would complain she was like in
Speaker 2: her like mid twenties, early twenties. I guess, I don't
Speaker 2: know that she would have wild parties, but she definitely
Speaker 2: was like, you know, had friends over, and so it
Speaker 2: sucked because the neighbors chased her away even though she
Speaker 2: was an awesome because it had always complained like you
Speaker 2: always have too many friends over, So it could be that,
Speaker 2: and it was like next to night I didn't you know,
Speaker 2: there was no I didn't have to do anything. But
Speaker 2: then you can also get like the nightmare tenant that's
Speaker 2: not taking care of your things. But then you can
Speaker 2: also think about maybe getting a one of those property managers.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, typically those they charged like like my
Speaker 3: uncle runs that business where he manages rental properties and
Speaker 3: does does all like the the commo pair and stuff
Speaker 3: for pairs, turning over the apartments like and I think
Speaker 3: they charged like five percent of the rent or something
Speaker 3: like that. And then my one of my colleagues also
Speaker 3: has a place and he just runs a like he
Speaker 3: it's in Long Island. He lives in Manhattan, and he
Speaker 3: just has this company and they do everything and it's
Speaker 3: very easy for him.
Speaker 2: So and if you, I mean, you just want to
Speaker 2: make sure obviously that what you're what you're being charged
Speaker 2: by them is not eating up all of the income
Speaker 2: that you're making. But to me, it sounds like to me,
Speaker 2: I'd rather live someplace where I'm going to be happy,
Speaker 2: you know, because I mean I get it, like living
Speaker 2: below your means, but it doesn't mean that you can't
Speaker 2: get there, meaning that like you can be creative with
Speaker 2: your finances living in a in a maybe right outside DC,
Speaker 2: like for example, like I live right outside right outside
Speaker 2: New York, but I still enjoy a lot of the
Speaker 2: benefits of New York at a lower way lower cost,
Speaker 2: you know, and who's to say you have to get
Speaker 2: like a you know, a brand new home maybe like
Speaker 2: they're like these auction houses are, and then I'll give
Speaker 2: more feedback, you know, next week about how it went.
Speaker 2: But they're popping up and they're becoming more and more legitimate.
Speaker 2: Like banks are really not wanting to go through the
Speaker 2: process of selling a house, so they give it to
Speaker 2: the auction house, and the auction house gets a percentage.
Speaker 2: And so so you're able to find these homes then
Speaker 2: do a drive by see if you like them, and
Speaker 2: then you put a bit in and possibly pay way
Speaker 2: less than what the house is actually worth, so you
Speaker 2: can be creative about your new living digs. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't think i'd stay someplace where I was unhappy
Speaker 2: just for the savings, because I feel like savings can
Speaker 2: be found other places in other ways.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a give and take. I mean, I have
Speaker 3: yet to find a place that has every single thing.
Speaker 3: It's affordable, and it has a great quality of life,
Speaker 3: and it has a great scene and like there's amenities
Speaker 3: and you know, you're close to activities and stuff. I mean,
Speaker 3: if I I mean, you're speaking to two people who
Speaker 3: live outside of New York City. So obviously we're on
Speaker 3: the bandwagon of like live where you have the best,
Speaker 3: you know, the life that you want, even though it's
Speaker 3: not necessarily the most affordable location, and then find creative
Speaker 3: ways to make it affordable. Like I live in Jersey City,
Speaker 3: and I knew I had to move out of Manhattan
Speaker 3: or out of the boroughs of Manhattan if I wanted
Speaker 3: to get the kind of apartment that I wanted with
Speaker 3: the amenities that I wanted without breaking my budget. And
Speaker 3: I had to do it by moving to Jersey City.
Speaker 3: And like, actually a lot of things got a little
Speaker 3: bit better. My commute got a lot better, my quality
Speaker 3: of life got a lot better. And I just had
Speaker 3: to give up that invisible wall that I think block
Speaker 3: people's blocked people off from wanting to live outside of
Speaker 3: Manhattan because it's not like, you know, officially New York City.
Speaker 3: But I also get benefits, like I don't have to
Speaker 3: pay the New York City income tax anymore, which is great.
Speaker 3: So when my paychecks got a little bit bigger and
Speaker 3: I'm a lot happier. And the big secret is that
Speaker 3: my commute is only half an hour, which is like
Speaker 3: half of what it used to be. So at the
Speaker 3: end of the day, like it's your life, Like Tiffany said,
Speaker 3: you should live where you're happiest and you're living your
Speaker 3: best life. But just be prepared to give up some
Speaker 3: of the things for what you're gaining. So maybe fact
Speaker 3: with sitting in traffic and paying higher mortgage, that kind
Speaker 3: of stuff. But I mean, if you're happy, don't let
Speaker 3: anybody else make you feel like you're making the bad
Speaker 3: CHOI because they wouldn't do something. Who cares what they
Speaker 3: wouldn't do.
Speaker 2: And it's not like you and your husband are are
Speaker 2: pretty savvy financially, meaning like that's not going to go
Speaker 2: away because you live in a more expensive city. You
Speaker 2: guys are going to figure out ways to live within
Speaker 2: your means no matter where you live.
Speaker 3: You know, absolutely, I hear it too. Two train.
Speaker 2: I know, I don't know where that. That's like this
Speaker 2: random train that never moves except for apparently when I
Speaker 2: want to take the train's a hater? Hey, hata any
Speaker 2: other questions?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have one more, we can do one more question.
Speaker 3: This one's from Dominique. She has a question about a
Speaker 3: car Loan and I think a lot of people will
Speaker 3: probably well understand where she's coming from. So her question
Speaker 3: is what is the best way to get out of
Speaker 3: a bad car loan? My credit score is below six hundred,
Speaker 3: so refinancing is not an option for me. I've considered
Speaker 3: selling the vehicle, but I owe more on the loan
Speaker 3: than what the car is worth. I have a twenty
Speaker 3: fourteen to it a camera. My current payoff amount the
Speaker 3: amount how much I would need to pay off the loan,
Speaker 3: it would be about fourteen thousand dollars, but the car
Speaker 3: is only worth ten thousand dollars. I don't have anyone
Speaker 3: to borrow money from to help me, and with my
Speaker 3: car note and insurance, I'm paying close to five hundred
Speaker 3: and forty dollars a month. I purchased my first three
Speaker 3: cars in cash. This is going to be my first
Speaker 3: and last car note. What can I do to get
Speaker 3: out of this car loan out?
Speaker 2: You know, this is like perfect timing. My sister got
Speaker 2: a lease, so she she I don't know if you remember,
Speaker 2: like earlier, if you listened to BA you know the
Speaker 2: BA podcast. Like earlier, when we started, I was talking
Speaker 2: about my sister had made the transition from that big
Speaker 2: financial company that she hated, and then she transitioned she
Speaker 2: really wanted to be a stylist, and transitioned into working
Speaker 2: for a like retail companies as buy as a buyer. No,
Speaker 2: she really wants to be a buyer. That's what she's
Speaker 2: doing now, so she like is enjoying that now. But
Speaker 2: as a result, it was a huge pay cut, like huge,
Speaker 2: you know, and so it took a toll on her
Speaker 2: trying to figure out her finances. And she needed a car,
Speaker 2: so she never she'd always bought her cars in cash,
Speaker 2: you know, like I don't know, a few years old.
Speaker 2: But she had to get to work. She needed something
Speaker 2: reliable because she works an hour away from where she lives.
Speaker 2: So she ended up going for a lease. But because
Speaker 2: she works so far, the lease, she's already in two
Speaker 2: years basically like used up all her miles. So we've
Speaker 2: been going back and forth the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: I've been trying to like help her figure out, so
Speaker 2: what do I do now? Basically like because if she
Speaker 2: if she tries to turn in the car, she's gonna
Speaker 2: owe so much money. So she decided that she's going
Speaker 2: to buy the car. But then it was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: who do buy from. So this is this is what
Speaker 2: she's learned, and I'm going to share it with you listener.
Speaker 2: That so I told her, you know, one go to
Speaker 2: a credit union to see the car company itself, you know,
Speaker 2: was obviously wanted to lend her, and then the bank
Speaker 2: that she already banks at. Her credit score is not terrible,
Speaker 2: but it's not great. It's like in the low to
Speaker 2: mid six hundred, so higher than yours, but not the greatest.
Speaker 2: So but she got I told her, you know, she
Speaker 2: asked them what, you know, what their interest rates would
Speaker 2: look like and what her pavement would look like. But
Speaker 2: get very clear what it would look like at her
Speaker 2: interest rate and at her credit score, because you know,
Speaker 2: they're going to give you like the best, like oh,
Speaker 2: you know, it's only two percent or whatever it is.
Speaker 2: And she was like, yeah, but like what credit score
Speaker 2: do you have to have in order to get two percent?
Speaker 2: That's really important. So she figured out for herself. I
Speaker 2: think she was able to get an interest rate of
Speaker 2: three point two percent. She decided to go with a
Speaker 2: credit union after like going back and forth her personal bank.
Speaker 2: I think they wanted like three point seven and the
Speaker 2: car and the company wanted like they were. They said
Speaker 2: they could get it down to three point nine. So
Speaker 2: the credit union was better, even though she wasn't a
Speaker 2: member of the credit union. She said, yeah, but I'm
Speaker 2: a member of any credit unions. I said, yeah, but
Speaker 2: a lot of credit unions you can literally join that
Speaker 2: day and apply that day. So she called around and
Speaker 2: she found one I think Alliance to something or they
Speaker 2: allowed that where she could join and apply right away.
Speaker 2: So what I would suggest it might be, actually, I mean,
Speaker 2: I know it sucks, but you might have to wait
Speaker 2: a couple of months to get your credit score up
Speaker 2: in order to then do your research about So I
Speaker 2: would start to do the research now, like what is
Speaker 2: the bare minimum credit score that I have to have
Speaker 2: in order to be able to refinance out of this
Speaker 2: car with like a credit union or the bank, your
Speaker 2: bank that you have like all of your like you know,
Speaker 2: banking stuff with because you have a relationship there, and
Speaker 2: work toward that credit score. It might not take as
Speaker 2: long as you think. It might take just a couple
Speaker 2: of months, and then think about refinancing so that way
Speaker 2: you pay a lower interest rate, or your interest rate
Speaker 2: will be lowered than your monthly payment will be lower.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's surprising. I mean, I wonder if she's done
Speaker 3: any research and to see what's available to her, because
Speaker 3: fortunately slash unfortunately lenders. There are lenders specifically who will
Speaker 3: cater to the prime meaning bad credit market and will
Speaker 3: extend auto loans to people even if they have bad credit.
Speaker 3: You just have to be really careful because obviously those
Speaker 3: loans have high interest rates. So if you're looking to refinance,
Speaker 3: maybe at least do what tifany saysn't like, start shopping around,
Speaker 3: look for credit unions, look at local banks. There's some
Speaker 3: online lenders that also can offer some access to credit
Speaker 3: for people who may not have the greatest credit score.
Speaker 3: We just did a guide on auto loans for people
Speaker 3: who have bad credit, which has like really good information
Speaker 3: there that I can link to, and I'll send you
Speaker 3: a link to dominique to that guide to get started.
Speaker 3: But I think the key issue for her is that
Speaker 3: she is four thousand dollars in the red, like even
Speaker 3: if she sells the car. I mean, that's another option too.
Speaker 3: You could just cut your losses, sell the car, and
Speaker 3: then you have four thousand dollars and then just set
Speaker 3: yourself a goal to pay that off in a year
Speaker 3: and get debt free. That's honestly the hard, not great.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the hard. I don't want to hear
Speaker 3: that advice advice because it's on it. I mean, four
Speaker 3: thousand dollars is I don't know what your situation is,
Speaker 3: but if you I feel like, if you just set
Speaker 3: a goal to pay that off in a year, get
Speaker 3: some side income, you know, scraight by, do whatever you
Speaker 3: can to pay that off, get debt free, then you've
Speaker 3: learn your lesson. You can start fresh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I think that that And sometimes you have
Speaker 2: to take the l you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 2: don't you just hate that? Sometimes you like, as an adult,
Speaker 2: you realize, oh, there there is no win loss. It's
Speaker 2: just loss or bigger loss. And sometimes that's how it
Speaker 2: like you have to just ask yourself, where where can
Speaker 2: I bleed less? Basically? And then you just you take
Speaker 2: the smallest l that you can. But then you move
Speaker 2: forward and you you know, you make different financial choices
Speaker 2: moving forward.
Speaker 3: And how you avoid that and going forward. I mean,
Speaker 3: you paid your first three cars in cash, that's one
Speaker 3: way to avoid it. But if you're we talk about
Speaker 3: the four to twenty ten role when it comes to
Speaker 3: car buying. And I love this rule because I think
Speaker 3: it establishes from the get go a really smart way
Speaker 3: to buy a car, so that you're not immediately kind
Speaker 3: of catching yourself in a situation where you're going to
Speaker 3: end up with a car that's worth less than what
Speaker 3: you owe on a loan. And the twenty part of
Speaker 3: the four to ten twenty rule is to put down
Speaker 3: at least twenty percent of a down payment. And this
Speaker 3: is to just get ahead of the problem with cars,
Speaker 3: which is that as soon as you drive off the lot,
Speaker 3: they lose like fifteen percent of their value, and after
Speaker 3: a year it's even more of their value it depreciates.
Speaker 3: So if you put down that much, at least you
Speaker 3: know you're financing the true value of the car, you know,
Speaker 3: a year from now, and that'll kind of prevent, you know,
Speaker 3: owing more than what the car is worth. And the
Speaker 3: ten the ten part of the four to twenty ten
Speaker 3: rule is to make sure that your transportation costs, the
Speaker 3: cost of owning that car is going to be less
Speaker 3: than ten percent of your gross income, you know, for
Speaker 3: a year for a month, which is one way to
Speaker 3: tell whether or not you know you're going to have
Speaker 3: payments that you can actually afford. And the four part
Speaker 3: is to make sure that you don't take out a
Speaker 3: loan with the term longer than four years. You see, now,
Speaker 3: some lenders will give loan terms for auto for cars
Speaker 3: over eighty months, like seventy six months, like eighty four months.
Speaker 3: It's crazy, and people will sign up for them because
Speaker 3: they they see, oh, that's a great way to get
Speaker 3: a lower monthly payment. But when you actually look at
Speaker 3: how much you're paying an interest over how many years
Speaker 3: is eighty four months? Like? What is that really bad?
Speaker 3: A month right now? Six? Seven years, eight years, eight years,
Speaker 3: I think, I don't know, a long, long freaking time.
Speaker 3: You're literally just handing money to the lendra at the
Speaker 3: end of the day. Yeah, and you're almost gonna certainly
Speaker 3: be paying more than the actual value of the car
Speaker 3: that you're purchasing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well for sure, that's what interest is all about.
Speaker 3: I'm really really embarrassed. I don't know what eighty four
Speaker 3: are divided by twelve.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not a mather.
Speaker 3: It's seven. I knew that seven years.
Speaker 2: Sheesh.
Speaker 3: Fun in time, I won my multiplication competition in the
Speaker 3: third grade. Once upon a time, one of time, not
Speaker 3: long ago, but good luck Dominique. And uh, yeah, that's
Speaker 3: that's uh it's a rough it's a rough situation, and
Speaker 3: it's it's hard because so many, you know, people have
Speaker 3: been worried that like bad auto loans are gonna be
Speaker 3: the new housing crisis because so many, so many, so
Speaker 3: many banks were giving these crazy, big, huge loans to
Speaker 3: people that they can't afford. And you hear the same
Speaker 3: kind of thing like Santander, which was a big bank
Speaker 3: in the subprime model Ending Space was found to like
Speaker 3: be underwriting these like giving these loans to people without
Speaker 3: verifying their income, the same way that people were giving
Speaker 3: people houses without or mortgages without you know, verifying their income.
Speaker 3: And it's kind of it's a little bit troubling.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I know she's not alone.
Speaker 2: Well, now it's time to say almost goodbye to all
Speaker 2: our b A family bw R ow N And like
Speaker 2: that mean I should have said that for the end,
Speaker 2: because we still have to do wins.
Speaker 3: What even does b w R.
Speaker 2: You can't math, I can't spell.
Speaker 3: Oh lord, everyone's lost their faith in us.
Speaker 2: Oh so what you're going to win? All I do
Speaker 2: is when when win, no matter what, go ahead, you
Speaker 2: can go first with your win.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it advance when actually I'm really dreading
Speaker 3: this week so much I don't think I have any
Speaker 3: positive energy to leave on. Then a good note with
Speaker 3: like a three day work week sounds amazing, but I
Speaker 3: know I'm gonna have to work today to get ahead
Speaker 3: of the week, and I'm gonna have to probably work
Speaker 3: like before my mom's wedding to make sure that the
Speaker 3: that everything happens in a three day week that needs
Speaker 3: to happen in a five day week. I'm a little scared.
Speaker 3: Do you know? I had a dream this weekend. I
Speaker 3: know when people say I had a dream, everyone rolls
Speaker 3: your eyes. But anyway, I had a dream. If you're
Speaker 3: not Mlka Junior, if you say a dream is really annoying.
Speaker 3: I literally had a dream and it was an email exchange.
Speaker 3: Like it wasn't a scary email exchange. It was literally
Speaker 3: just like me sending a letter to one of my
Speaker 3: writer or email to one of my writers saying, oh
Speaker 3: did you get the outline for this story? That's great,
Speaker 3: and like back and forth. What does that say about me?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So I always do that, Like literally I will
Speaker 2: dream that just like I'm working. It just said that
Speaker 2: we're overworked.
Speaker 3: Over maybe I'm just thinking about work too much before
Speaker 3: I go to bed. So I guess my win is
Speaker 3: just going to be a cry for help to Lord
Speaker 3: get me through this week.
Speaker 2: This is true, my well, you know what this is
Speaker 2: kind of random? Is I want to shout out Jazz Daniel.
Speaker 2: He is. For those of you who've been following me,
Speaker 2: you know that I have been working on a children's book,
Speaker 2: like intermittently, not like you know, really putting in the work,
Speaker 2: but just I had this idea and I had this
Speaker 2: character that I really want to put out there, and
Speaker 2: finding an illustrator was not easy. So my wind this
Speaker 2: week is that I found an amazing brown man in
Speaker 2: the illustrator who has drawn the most delicious, cute little
Speaker 2: girl who is going to be, you know, the subject
Speaker 2: of these series of children's books that I want to write.
Speaker 2: I'm just super excited because I really want to one
Speaker 2: help parents have these pre financial conversations, That's what I
Speaker 2: call them, because I mean, at three and four, you're
Speaker 2: not you know, you're teaching kids about money. Doesn't make sense,
Speaker 2: But there are some conversations you can have to lay
Speaker 2: the groundwork, like about community, about sharing, about giving, about selfishness.
Speaker 2: So I really want to start creating a series of
Speaker 2: books that help parents have those conversations with kids, but
Speaker 2: in a way that's age appropriate because the preschool teacher
Speaker 2: in me is like, I know how to do that.
Speaker 2: And so but I wanted a character that was going
Speaker 2: to be reflective of the audience that I wanted to reach,
Speaker 2: well bigger than that. I wanted a character that was
Speaker 2: going to be like like like the Cosby's or Dora.
Speaker 2: Like when people think about Dora, they're just like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is just a great cartoon for kids, and she
Speaker 2: happens to be Latina, or this is a great family
Speaker 2: and they happen to be black. And that's what I wanted.
Speaker 2: Like this little girl's brown, she's got four sea hair,
Speaker 2: super cute. But I didn't want that. I wanted anyone
Speaker 2: who read it to resonate, for it to resonate with them,
Speaker 2: and but she happens to be black, you know. And
Speaker 2: so so that way it teaches these core lessons, but
Speaker 2: then there's also these secondary and like, you know, lessons
Speaker 2: about culture and about you know, and so I'm just
Speaker 2: really excited because I finally got like I finally approved
Speaker 2: the sketch of her, and she's so adorable and cute,
Speaker 2: and it's exactly what I wanted because sometimes when brown
Speaker 2: characters are made, it's like all of the all that
Speaker 2: that comes along with like sometimes brownness and blackness is
Speaker 2: a race or at least watered down, you know, And
Speaker 2: so I didn't want that. I wanted her to be like, no,
Speaker 2: she's black, you know, although she her family's gonna be
Speaker 2: definitely mixed, so like she'll have her white aunt and
Speaker 2: her Latina uncle and all that kind of stuff. But
Speaker 2: I wanted her, in particular to just be regular black,
Speaker 2: little cute little girl with her little chunky nose and
Speaker 2: her full lips and slightly slightly big belly. My team
Speaker 2: was like, I was like, I want her chunky, because
Speaker 2: every little girl is not super skinny. Like let her
Speaker 2: look like a little girl. I had a little belly
Speaker 2: when I was ten. I got a little belly now darted,
Speaker 2: and so I'm excited because it looks like the way
Speaker 2: I wanted it to look, and I just I feel
Speaker 2: good about it. I had a dream about her being
Speaker 2: on TV, Like I was watching her cartoon in my dream,
Speaker 2: and I was like oh maybe that's the next step, hey, Nickelodeon,
Speaker 2: But yeah, so that's my win. When is Jazz? You
Speaker 2: are awesome. Thank you for bringing my dream to life
Speaker 2: without watering it down and making this beautiful little brown girl.
Speaker 2: And who is she's her model is a Supergirl. So
Speaker 2: I gave him pictures of Supergirl to say, like, make
Speaker 2: her like this. And Supergirl has been great and her
Speaker 2: mom had been helping, like when stuff came back, they
Speaker 2: would both look at it and be like, oh, a
Speaker 2: little bit here, a little bit. They're a little taller,
Speaker 2: a little bit chunkier, a little bit, you know. So
Speaker 2: it's been awesome because it's been like a family affair,
Speaker 2: so you know, the new normal family where it's like stepmom, mom, dad, daughter,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: So I love it. I love kids books and to
Speaker 3: have a book about like we just gave our my
Speaker 3: husband's scoped out our little personal finance book with like
Speaker 3: some we got our some stockpile gift cards. You know,
Speaker 3: it's like the you can give stock as a gift
Speaker 3: through a gift card now anyway. But I was like, man,
Speaker 3: let's find a good like money book for kids. And
Speaker 3: I just the book Shore. We went to there was
Speaker 3: nothing so to have like a cute little book for
Speaker 3: kids about money that's like the perfect gift. You got
Speaker 3: a baby shower or like whatever. So the excited, right.
Speaker 2: I'm excited too because I'm just like I just feel like,
Speaker 2: you know, you just when sometimes you're making a decision
Speaker 2: or a choice, you can feel like the shift. You know.
Speaker 2: I think everyone has like noted that ooh, this change
Speaker 2: is going to be a pivotal shift, and it's going
Speaker 2: to create a pivotal shift in my life. And I
Speaker 2: feel like this is one of those things like when
Speaker 2: I stopped teaching preschool, I knew, like, Okay, this is
Speaker 2: a pivotal shift. And for some reason, you know, and
Speaker 2: I've done other things before that been awesome and great,
Speaker 2: but for some reason, this little girl, this little character,
Speaker 2: she's been like it's been very clear to me that
Speaker 2: there's a shift, you know, happening with this character. So
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see like where this goes because I
Speaker 2: just have a feeling about it like that, you know.
Speaker 2: My goal is for her to be the next door
Speaker 2: the explorer that like you know, I was. If you
Speaker 2: when you don't you don't have the kids, but you do,
Speaker 2: you know, Nick Steppens.
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, we talked about Doc mc steppens.
Speaker 2: So I was getting Chinese food from my sister and
Speaker 2: I was in there and the lady, assuming she's Chinese,
Speaker 2: and so her daughter was sitting at a table playing
Speaker 2: with her friend, and the little her daughter, who's obviously Chinese,
Speaker 2: had a little Docma Stefan's doll, and I was like,
Speaker 2: that's what I mean that, Like, it's not like this
Speaker 2: little girl's like, I'm playing with the black doll. She's like, no,
Speaker 2: I'm playing with a doll from a show that I enjoy,
Speaker 2: and that's what I want. But it's teaching her this
Speaker 2: secondary kind of like you know that, oh you know
Speaker 2: that she's not even realizing that it's normalizing a little
Speaker 2: brown girl as a doctor and part of my life,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And so that's what I'm wanting.
Speaker 2: I'm wanting that kind of door the explored Docmak Steffans
Speaker 2: Cosby show effect, where you know that it normalizes that
Speaker 2: all people can be all things and you know that
Speaker 2: they can also be a part of your life. So, yeah,
Speaker 2: good things. So some of your good good rais and
Speaker 2: good good if you have any vegan recipes some simple
Speaker 2: ones too. You can send those two some big d
Speaker 2: please yeah, telling them that they can send them if
