I mean, 103 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 3: y'all know I work hard, but it's a different level 104 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: of hard work pushing out this book. It was a 105 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 3: different level. And yet this week, because this is launch week, 106 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 3: it's a very important week. This week determines, you know, 107 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 3: you got to make New York Times bestseller. This week 108 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 3: determines a lot, like do people want to work with 109 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 3: you again? It's you know, like very few books do 110 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 3: poorly in the first week and then go on to greatness. 111 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 3: Like you know, this kind of sets the tone. And 112 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 3: yet I'm going into this week feeling really calm because 113 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 3: my team and I have already done like the work, 114 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 3: We've already sold thousands of thousands of thousands of books. Already, 115 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 3: and so I just think the audience is ready. Honestly, 116 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 3: I encourage you to go into Bond and Noble put 117 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 3: my book in the front, because don't let them play 118 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 3: you if my book is not on the new because 119 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 3: there's like there's a section that says new nonfiction. If 120 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 3: it's just in the regular finance or business section, be like, cis, 121 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 3: this is a brand book and needs to be here 122 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 3: because some of the Barnes and Nobles can decide where 123 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 3: they want to put it. But if you know, if 124 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 3: you ask, they will put it in the new section 125 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 3: because it deserves to be in the new section so 126 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 3: people can see. But yeah, it just feels like surreal 127 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 3: because you know what, Like what's best of all is 128 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 3: that it's a good book. And I'm usually hard on myself, 129 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 3: you know me, man, I'm like, yeah, I guess, like, but. 130 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 2: It's a good book. 131 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,239 Speaker 3: I feel really proud that, like I wrote something that's 132 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 3: actually good and it's going to be really helpful and 133 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 3: it's really just going to transform people's lives. Like it's 134 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 3: a good book. And I was like, Tiffany, well done. 135 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 3: I don't know the last time I told myself well done. 136 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 3: And I can honestly say not the marketing, not that. 137 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 3: But like the book itself, I can honestly say, tiffany job, 138 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 3: well done, Nap. 139 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: I mean the content matters, right, And I think that 140 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: it's not just selling because I mean, of course it's 141 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: selling because you're a marketing genius and Dreamcator Nation has 142 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: always had your back and all of that. But it's 143 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: when product is good. It's good, you know, I mean, 144 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: isn't it Like where opportunity and preparation meet.

And how in the 289 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: book does the wholeness checklist sort of play into the 290 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: overall message in the book? 291 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 3: So in the book I really lean into not just 292 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 3: like you know what you're missing, you know, but like 293 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 3: how do you fix it? 294 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 2: How do you get there? And so I want it 295 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 2: to be clear, like for budget building, like it literally 296 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 2: says like I have a written and at least partially 297 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: automated like transfer, savings bills, et cetera personal budget, and 298 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 2: you have the necessary checking and savings accounts to. 299 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: Support my budget. 300 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 2: That part is really important because you ask people do 301 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 2: you have a budget? 302 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 5: Yes? 303 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 2: Do you have? Is it written? Is it partially automated? 304 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 2: Is it you know? 305 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: Do you have do you have the appropriate appropriate amount 306 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 3: of bank accounts? 307 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 2: Okay? Sis? 308 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 3: And you don't really fully have a budget that's sustainable, 309 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 3: And so the book teaches you how to create this 310 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 3: sustainable at least partially automated budget, you know, because you know, 311 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 3: like I said, people don't really know what they don't 312 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 3: know when it comes to like, so what should my 313 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 3: budget really look like? So that's what you learn in 314 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 3: the book. But I'm assuming that's what you you got 315 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 3: to check on that you got that. 316 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: I got a check, And my favorite part of my 317 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: budget is see the fact that I only had to 318 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: do it once and then I just automatically, Yes, like 319 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: when I get my paycheck or any income, I have 320 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: automatic transfers going where they need to go, so that 321 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: when I look at my checking account, it's just money 322 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: that I know I can spend, which is my favorite 323 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: way to budget, because I don't like spreadsheets all that much. Okay, 324 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: but number two noodle budget, So save like a squirrel, 325 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: which I love this.

Why is that so important? 400 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 3: Well, seven forty is the beginning of what's called typically 401 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 3: perfect credit, right, So it's not I mean eight. Well, 402 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 3: when it comes to FIGHTCO, you know the lowest is 403 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 3: three hundred highs is a fifty, but seven forty is 404 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 3: the beginning of when you can get the best interest rate. 405 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 3: Like when you go for a mortgage, the literally the 406 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 3: banker will ask you do you have a seven forty 407 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 3: or better, because that's the number that you start to 408 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 3: get like, oh, okay, well then you qualify for the. 409 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 2: Best interest rate. 410 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 3: Anything below then you know, it doesn't mean you won't 411 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 3: get a good interest rate, you just won't get the 412 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 3: best that's out there. So I tell people instead of 413 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 3: trying to stretch and reach for an eight to fifty, 414 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 3: which is great, but guess what, typically my seven forty 415 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 3: and you're a fifty will get me the same interest rate. 416 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 2: So seven forty is is. It's just it's more than 417 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 2: good enough. 418 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: I love it. I typically use Discover Scorecard to get 419 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: your FIGHTO, but like every banks all offer them now, 420 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: so it's really hard. And of course you can use 421 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: you know, tools like to get a credit score estimate 422 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: through credit CARDMA or things like that, but credit score 423 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: card is my jam and I am over seven forty, 424 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: okaven though yeah, I don't think about it as much. 425 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: It was very stressful with the credit you know, before 426 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: I got the mortgage. But these days I'm like, oh, okay, 427 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: I guess you know, just good to have it if 428 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: you ever need an emergency loan or something like that. 429 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: I mean, your credit score is really it's just something 430 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: to be maintained because you're gonna when you finally get 431 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: around to needing it or needing to apply for credit 432 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: or something where they check your credit. It's it's like currency, 433 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: you know, Like the Tiffa said it best. 434 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 3: So she said in the book That which I Love. 435 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 3: She said, credit is like girl, I'm gonna need you 436 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 3: to know me before you need me. 437 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the way credit works. 438 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: Absolutely. Okay, so I'm not forty percent. 439 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 2: Okay, fine. 440 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: Five Learn to earn or increase income?

There's 501 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: a lot there's a lot of other things that could 502 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: be going wrong. Okay, but now we're into the intermediate level. 503 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: Number six, invest like an insider. What's this one all about? 504 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: How do you invest like an insider? 505 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 3: So one, insiders know that you investment fall and falls 506 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 3: into two major tiers, retirement and wealth. You're really not 507 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 3: saving for retirement. Women always say this, it's really you 508 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 3: investing for retirement and investing for wealth. So the difference 509 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 3: is this, When you invest for retirement, you are saying, 510 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 3: I'm setting aside money and investing it so I can 511 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 3: maintain my current lifestyle when I'm no longer working. 512 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 2: When you and. 513 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 3: So it's you're it's literally about you and only you 514 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 3: later on in life. Investing for wealth is different. It's 515 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 3: about improved in your lifestyle now currently and leaving money 516 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 3: for airs, you know, So that's what now. Investing for 517 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 3: retirement should happen no matter what. Investing for wealth happens 518 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 3: after you have the foundational things like budget say all 519 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 3: that stuff. But investing for retirement happens no matter what, 520 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 3: because no matter what your eighty year old self is 521 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 3: going to need to eat, it's going to need a 522 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 3: safe place to live, it's going to need medicine, it's 523 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 3: going to need transportation. 524 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 2: You see what I mean. 525 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 3: So like retirement is really not optional, but investing for 526 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 3: wealth kind of is. 527 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: Absolutely. I gave myself a check my I love my 528 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: four one K and but I will say the past 529 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: five year old three years especially, I have had a 530 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: lot of fun taking the next step beyond just like 531 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: the target date fund, you know, index fund investing style 532 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: and actually investing for wealth. And that's been it's been 533 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: new territory. Yeah. 534 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 2: And just if you guys are listening, you forgot, like, 535 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 2: don't forget. 536 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 3: This is that gg wmquiz dot com for Get Good 537 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 3: with Money quiz.

This is a chapter that 552 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 3: I had Angelie really weigh in on because it's insurance 553 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 3: is not just health insurance. You have to think about 554 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 3: life insurance potentially disability and property and casualty insurance. That's 555 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 3: what you think of like home and artum So are 556 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 3: you adequately covered? 557 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 2: Do you know the need? So the reason. 558 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 3: Why I was eighty percent when I first started the 559 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 3: book is because I thought I was well insured and 560 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 3: Julie was like, yeah, girl, you're insured like a twenty 561 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 3: seven year old. 562 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 2: I'm like, that's when I got my life. And you say, exactly, this. 563 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 3: Life insurance is is enough to protect your twenty seven 564 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 3: year old self, but not your forty forty one year 565 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 3: old self. And so this chapter, I think is really 566 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 3: great for people who are like I did it. 567 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 2: I'm good. I'm good. 568 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 3: It's like, are you sis, how's your insurance looking? Insurance 569 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 3: is yours a risk management tool? 570 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 2: You know? Are you managing risks in your life? Like? 571 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 3: Are you managing risks against your assets, against your life, 572 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 3: against your earning potential, against your property. So I think 573 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 3: this is gonna be a really great chapter for. 574 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: Folks love it. This was the one I finally got 575 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: together when I when I had the baby. It was 576 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: like I left the hospital and I was like, oh, 577 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: I have to get some life insurance. Now I have 578 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: a reason. And I will say the pandemic kind of 579 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: threw me off because it was like the people literally 580 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 1: they come to your house and they do like a 581 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: or you go there sometimes, but they do like a 582 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 1: physical you know, your sample. I think he took blood, 583 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: don't It was like four in the morning. I don't know. 584 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: I got to really know the early appointment solid blur, 585 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: but finally got it done back in August. And I 586 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: think that's the most common question I see is how 587 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: much is enough for life insurance? For me, it was 588 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: ten x. I just used that rule of thumb ten 589 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: x my household income, and you know, luckily got approved. 590 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: In all of that, where's the best because people may 591 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: not know where to start shopping for an insurance policy. 592 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: And by the way, we're talking about life insurance, but 593 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: also just do you have enough home insurance? Do you 594 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: have enough property insurance, you know, so making sure that 595 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: you're covered for those types of things is important too. 596 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 3: So the one of my favorite sites that that I 597 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 3: mentioned in the book is a policy Genius, because policy 598 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 3: genius is not just going to help you look for 599 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 3: health insurance.

Yes, that's another 608 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 3: one that I like, and so like just getting with 609 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 3: it when it comes to insurance.

I was like, it's 650 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 2: really both, Like you said, like the value of your 651 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 2: home is the is the asset, and then the mortgage 652 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 2: you have out on that home is the liability. It's like, okay, 653 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 2: you know, so yeah, that's yeah. 654 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: That's why so many folks got burned during the housing 655 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: crisis because they their home was not worth the amount 656 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: of money they had taken out against it, so their 657 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: debt they just owed more than the house was worth. 658 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,479 Speaker 1: So that's the nightmare situation, luckily not happening here. Okay 659 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: net worth, Okay, two more, Okay, so this is obviously 660 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: we're down to the last two. We can probably figure 661 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: out where Mandy has some work to do. But number nine, 662 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: pick your money team financial professionals. So this is where 663 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: you have. So how do you define what's your money team, Tiffany, 664 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: Because we get asked about you know, financial planners, but 665 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: what else? Who else is on your ideal money team? 666 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 2: So it depends on where you are in life. 667 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 3: So at the very least, I say, every single person 668 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 3: needs an accountability partner. It could be your work mom, 669 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 3: It could be your bestiae, it could be your spouse, 670 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 3: your partner. It could be your sister, your brother, or uncle, cousin, whoever. 671 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 3: I do believe that money is a team sport and 672 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 3: if you work on it with someone, and when I 673 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 3: mean work on it, not like they have to be experts, 674 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 3: but just like, Okay, I'm doing my budget this week, 675 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 3: are you gonna do yours this week? 676 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm saving, Yay, it's good, Okay. 677 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 3: You know, someone to keep you motivated, someone to help 678 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 3: normalize the process because they're going through it as well, 679 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 3: someone to encourage you, you know, and sometimes someone even 680 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 3: to set the example because maybe they're better at something 681 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 3: else than you when it comes to their finances. So 682 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 3: accountability partner, I'm across the board and I always know 683 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 3: you all know I have the Dreamcatchers group on Facebook. 684 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 3: Dreamcatchers live richer with the budget Nissa and I tell 685 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 3: people if you don't know anybody in real life that 686 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 3: you can get an account, get to be your accountability partner. 687 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 2: You can always find one in that group. 688 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 3: It's like half a million of us in there, all 689 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 3: working on our finances together, so that's for sure. But 690 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 3: then there are people like a certified financial planner. You know, 691 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 3: this is someone who typically they say you should have 692 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 3: about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars of assets to 693 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 3: invest before it kind of makes financial sense. So you 694 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 3: might not need one, but that's someone just to keep 695 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 3: in mind. An insurance broker. Now this you might not need, 696 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 3: but if you're someone like me who I have several businesses, 697 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 3: so I have an insurance broker. Shout to you, David, 698 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 3: because you know, with my businesses and then my personal life, 699 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 3: like I have to have someone who was looking at 700 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 3: my my insurance collectively to see Like the other day, 701 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,239 Speaker 3: David's like, hey, if we twitched to Travelers, we can 702 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,479 Speaker 3: save you and Superman three thousand dollars a year. 703 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 2: I was like, let's do it. 704 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 3: You know, and estate planning attorney. You may or may 705 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 3: not need one, but I wanted to put it out there. 706 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 3: What I love about in the book is that I 707 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 3: explain who these people are, whether or not you may 708 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 3: or might not need it, how much they typically get paid, 709 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 3: if it makes sense, and how they're usually paid and 710 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 3: less than not least. A CPA is certified book accountant. 711 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 3: You don't necessarily need one because you might do your 712 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 3: own taxes if you've got a simple ten forty easy, 713 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 3: you know, turbo tax is fine, you know. So I 714 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 3: just share in this particular part of the book, these 715 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 3: are just like, hey, here's who you might consider and why. 716 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 2: But make the best choice for you when it comes 717 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 2: to picking your money team. 718 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that. So for me, the one that 719 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: I don't think I need an insurance broker. I do 720 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: have a CFP that I work with every once in 721 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: a while. Helen's probably like, you haven't called me in 722 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: a minute, what's going on? But for me this is 723 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: it's sort of a combo between nine and ten, which 724 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: is leave a legacy about estate planning. I don't feel 725 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: like I've gotten my estate planning down the way that 726 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: I or you know what, even just to have a 727 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: professional look at my look at my stuff and say, yeah, okay, 728 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: you've got a plan, because I don't have a plan 729 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: like written down. I've got my beneficiaries checked off, I 730 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: got my little life insurance. But I just really want 731 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: to make sure that my family is Yeah, it's set up, 732 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: and my legacy, as my financial legacy, lives on. So 733 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,319 Speaker 1: let's talk about number ten leading a legacy. 734 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 2: So about that for you. 735 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 3: Here's why I am ninety percent as well, Like I 736 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:14,800 Speaker 3: think that people don't get, you know, I'm all the 737 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 3: way transparent, like I am working on. I probably was 738 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,439 Speaker 3: one hundred percent before because financial hollness is very fluid, right, 739 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 3: So I could have been one hundred percent before because 740 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 3: I didn't need a trust before. But I've grown, my 741 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 3: assets have grown to a space in the place where 742 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 3: I need a trust now, So I'm no longer one 743 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 3: hundred percent. I'm ninety So I'm working on a trust 744 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 3: now with Tony More, my attorney, my husband, and I 745 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 3: are so with leaving a legacy of state planning. This 746 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 3: is when you've identified and completed the components of an 747 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 3: estate plan, so that is potentially a will trust beneficiaries 748 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 3: on your accounts, you know, and you have executed, signed, 749 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 3: and funded your state plan Tony, which oddly enough told 750 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 3: me that many people with her for six months to 751 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,919 Speaker 3: do a trust and then not put the stuff into 752 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 3: trust and fund it. She's like, so you paid all 753 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 3: this money for me to make your trust. But it's 754 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 3: almost like they're afraid if they create the trust or 755 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 3: the will that the next day they pass away. 756 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's true. It's all this is so 757 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: wrapped up in the emotions behind death. That's why it's 758 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,840 Speaker 1: for me, even just getting life insurance, I have to 759 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,399 Speaker 1: stop myself from thinking about the reason I'm getting this 760 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,879 Speaker 1: is so if I die, but I'm not gonna die 761 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: but not for my baby. Like, yes, it's really it's hard. 762 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: The emotions of it are really hard to unpack. You 763 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 1: have to kind of like compartmentalize it all exactly. 764 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 3: And so like I just honestly like, financial wholeness is 765 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 3: my love language. Like here's what because people ask me, 766 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 3: like what is because so the book is called Get 767 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 3: Good with Money, Ten Simple Steps to becoming Financially Whole, 768 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 3: and so like folks ask me, like, what is financial holeness? 769 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 3: That is when these ten components that I just went 770 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 3: over really like kind of work together as a team 771 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 3: to create the strongest financial foundation possible. It means that 772 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 3: when pandemic and quarantine and these things happen, not that 773 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 3: you won't have any financial trauma or drama, but that 774 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 3: you won't be shocked like rock to the core like 775 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 3: maybe you otherwise would have been, because you have these 776 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 3: things in place, and it's not something that you're gonna 777 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 3: You're not gonna do this in six months or in 778 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 3: a year. These are going to be things that you 779 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 3: slowly grow to And what will happen is as your 780 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 3: life grows, things will look different. So financial homeness for 781 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 3: your twenty one year old self is different than financial 782 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 3: homeness for your forty year old self. Like I said before, 783 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 3: when I was twenty seven, my estate planning I was 784 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 3: fine because I had all I didn't really have much 785 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 3: of in the way of assets, but the assets I 786 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 3: did have, like my I had a life insurance policy 787 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 3: and my bank accounts. My mom and my sisters and 788 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,359 Speaker 3: my father were the beneficiaries and all of that. That's 789 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 3: the state planning for a twenty something year old with 790 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 3: no children, you know, like major assets. 791 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 2: That was fine. So what's so great about financial holness 792 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 2: is that it grows up with you. 793 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 3: That as you grow up, you start to realize that 794 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 3: you can look back and say, oh, my insurance, Like 795 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 3: I just got good with insurance because my insurance before 796 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 3: was fine, but now I'm married, I've got a bonus daughter, 797 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 3: I've got nieces and nephews, I've got additional businesses. So 798 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 3: as a result, my insurance had to grow to meebe 799 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 3: where I was. And so financial homeness just know that 800 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:32,240 Speaker 3: you're ever evolving. And why I like financial homeness versus 801 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 3: financial freedom is that many financial freedom to seem so 802 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 3: it was not inclusive, right. So with financial freedom, typically 803 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 3: people say like kind of like they have like this 804 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 3: money set aside and it allows them not to work anymore, 805 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 3: and that's great, But are you fully insured? I wasn't. 806 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 3: Do you have an estate plan?

And it's true 1071 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,160 Speaker 1: that babies are like us, you know, they have social 1072 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,839 Speaker 1: Security numbers, and there is you know there Sometimes child 1073 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,440 Speaker 1: children can be the victim of identity theft, although I 1074 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 1: will say, you know who the most common perpetrator of 1075 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:22,680 Speaker 1: child identity theft is parents. So as long as you 1076 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: aren't trying to take out some credit in your kid's name, 1077 00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,719 Speaker 1: they should be all right. But no, it's a it's 1078 00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,520 Speaker 1: a valid it's not specific to you know, opening a 1079 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,759 Speaker 1: bank account for a kid. But yeah, I think you 1080 00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,640 Speaker 1: just have to be vigilant the same way you are 1081 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,640 Speaker 1: about your own information. And I will say, I don't 1082 00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 1: know why, but I had this vivid memory in elementary 1083 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,799 Speaker 1: school filling out school forms and you would just write 1084 00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,720 Speaker 1: your social security and we're down on paper and lord 1085 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,160 Speaker 1: knows where those went. But I feel like, if you 1086 00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,800 Speaker 1: really want to steal some identities, just go into any 1087 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,880 Speaker 1: school principal's office and just root around the file. 1088 00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:57,640 Speaker 2: Someone's like, oh, thanks, great idea. I'll be right back. 1089 00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:04,319 Speaker 1: B yeah, so I think your child. Your child might 1090 00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,880 Speaker 1: have a credit report when they get older, so you know, 1091 00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,200 Speaker 1: one thing you can do is to check and see 1092 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,560 Speaker 1: around the time they turn sixteen, check and you know, 1093 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 1: just go to Annualcreditreport dot com and see if you 1094 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,960 Speaker 1: can pull a credit report. If you can and there's 1095 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 1: stuff on it, then that's a good that's a good 1096 00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,840 Speaker 1: hint that there may be something amiss. And and you 1097 00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,040 Speaker 1: know from there.

That is time when you can 1101 00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,799 Speaker 1: do something like place a credit freeze, which is when 1102 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,840 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to open new credit without passing a 1103 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:46,040 Speaker 1: certain number of steps, or even disputing or definitely disputing 1104 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 1: the fraudulent activity through the three credit bureaus.

Please let me know. 1144 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:38,040 Speaker 1: I love how he called me, Mandra say, Eric from Nashville. 1145 00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,200 Speaker 3: I love your accent. First of all, we were just 1146 00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:42,440 Speaker 3: gushing over it. So first of all, love that you're listening. 1147 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:44,440 Speaker 3: And I know we always talk to the ladies, but 1148 00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:46,479 Speaker 3: you know we got some gentlemen here too as well. 1149 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,960 Speaker 1: All right, so ak in credit card debt, but wants 1150 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,760 Speaker 1: a new card. He mean, he deserves a tiff shouldn't 1151 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:54,960 Speaker 1: you get a new card for his birthday? 1152 00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:55,560 Speaker 5: Well? 1153 00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,480 Speaker 3: We all deserve good things, but it's not about It's 1154 00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,160 Speaker 3: not about whether you know you deserve well. I mean, 1155 00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,920 Speaker 3: certainly I think that you should have something nice, But 1156 00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,319 Speaker 3: what you really deserve above all else is to be 1157 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,560 Speaker 3: able to afford it, not just pay for it. So 1158 00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,440 Speaker 3: I'll say this, I don't believe in draining savings in 1159 00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:18,200 Speaker 3: order to pay down debt, only because if twenty twenty 1160 00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,239 Speaker 3: is raggedy behind it and teaches nothing is the importance 1161 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,239 Speaker 3: of having some savings yep. And so it makes me 1162 00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:26,560 Speaker 3: a little nervous to be out here without savings out 1163 00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:30,279 Speaker 3: because you're assuming that nothing dramatic or traumatic is going 1164 00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,080 Speaker 3: to happen to you financially, that you'll be able to 1165 00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:32,879 Speaker 3: put that money back. 1166 00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:38,640 Speaker 2: What if you can't, then what? And then would it 1167 00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:39,880 Speaker 2: just came to me when I was like, then what 1168 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:44,000 Speaker 2: it's like, it's a it's a it's a GZ song. 1169 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:50,280 Speaker 2: And then he said, first like wwe vibes well, JZ 1170 00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:53,359 Speaker 2: has a very WWD. His voice is very So that's 1171 00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:56,920 Speaker 2: what I would say, is that, like, if that eight. 1172 00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:00,360 Speaker 3: Thousand is three months worth of your like you know, 1173 00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,600 Speaker 3: your expenses, I'd leave it alone and just be patient. 1174 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,120 Speaker 3: Because here's the thing about birthdays, God willing, they come 1175 00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,160 Speaker 3: wrong every year. And the good thing about cars is 1176 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:10,799 Speaker 3: they don't have to be purchased on your birthday. They 1177 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,239 Speaker 3: could just be purchased so you could tell yourself it's 1178 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:17,799 Speaker 3: a belated birthday gift when you have it to get 1179 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:19,799 Speaker 3: you know, I want you to. I just I just 1180 00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:23,520 Speaker 3: feel nervous about you draining savings, especially during times like now. 1181 00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean it's sort of like it's the 1182 00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,960 Speaker 1: classic conundrum of how do I get to a goal 1183 00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 1: that I want, but I also have some I also 1184 00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:33,840 Speaker 1: have some other things I need to do at the 1185 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,360 Speaker 1: same time. So he wants a car, he wants to 1186 00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:38,160 Speaker 1: pay on his credit card debt, and he wants to 1187 00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:41,440 Speaker 1: not drain his savings. So I would say, if you 1188 00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,360 Speaker 1: were to drain your savings to pay off the credit 1189 00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,799 Speaker 1: card debt, like Tiffany said, I mean that that might 1190 00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,160 Speaker 1: sound okay, because it might sound like a good idea 1191 00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,000 Speaker 1: because then you don't have the credit card debt, But 1192 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 1: then you also don't have cash for a down payment 1193 00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,520 Speaker 1: on your car, and you know, you may end up 1194 00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 1: taking out a much longer term auto loan at a 1195 00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:00,680 Speaker 1: higher interest rate, potentially depending on your credit score, and 1196 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,560 Speaker 1: you know, over time you'll spend a lot more paying 1197 00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,680 Speaker 1: down that loan than you would if you were able to, 1198 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,160 Speaker 1: you know, make a down payment and take out a 1199 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,239 Speaker 1: smaller loan for your auto loan. So I feel like 1200 00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,759 Speaker 1: there's a way to accomplish these goals, but definitely not 1201 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,160 Speaker 1: all at the same time, because, like Tiffany said, you 1202 00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:20,040 Speaker 1: don't want to you don't want to drain your savings account, 1203 00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,839 Speaker 1: so then you don't have any safety net. I would 1204 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,200 Speaker 1: say the debt is a pressing concern, especially if it's 1205 00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 1: credit card debt. And I mean, if you were able 1206 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,560 Speaker 1: to save eight thousand, I feel like you can definitely 1207 00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:33,520 Speaker 1: maybe put pause on contributing heavily to your savings account 1208 00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,160 Speaker 1: and put that extra money instead toward your debt, you know, 1209 00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:38,400 Speaker 1: especially if, like Tiffany said, if that's three months of 1210 00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:40,839 Speaker 1: your savings or more, then I think you're in a 1211 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,200 Speaker 1: good place where you could say, Okay, cool, got it, 1212 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:47,040 Speaker 1: got a safety net. Now let's start putting everything I 1213 00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:50,280 Speaker 1: can toward this other debt. And then when you feel 1214 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,920 Speaker 1: confident that you have money, you have your debt paid down, 1215 00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:56,040 Speaker 1: and then you have some money to put down on 1216 00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,880 Speaker 1: a car, get a car that you can afford. I 1217 00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:03,000 Speaker 1: can't say it enough. Auto debt is like Americans love 1218 00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,560 Speaker 1: them some auto debt, and you know it's it. 1219 00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:07,160 Speaker 2: Does I get it? 1220 00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:10,200 Speaker 1: We need cars to get around, but I just don't 1221 00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:13,440 Speaker 1: want I don't feel like people just sometimes take on 1222 00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:15,839 Speaker 1: way more auto debt than they need, they get more 1223 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 1: cars than they absolutely need because of appearances. I'm just 1224 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:21,920 Speaker 1: gonna say it, and I'm not saying that's what you're after. Eric, 1225 00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,240 Speaker 1: you sound like a very humble gentleman, just trying to 1226 00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,880 Speaker 1: make your way in this crazy world. But yeah, I 1227 00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:30,280 Speaker 1: definitely think about what you can afford. And I love 1228 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:34,080 Speaker 1: the what is it the four ten twenty rule for 1229 00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,200 Speaker 1: buying a car? Dang it, I'm not to google it 1230 00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,120 Speaker 1: because I always forget what it is. AH, help me 1231 00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 1: out here, wait, four ten twenty rule for cars. I'm 1232 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:46,000 Speaker 1: gonna put this in the in the show notes. So 1233 00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,040 Speaker 1: you should only buy a car. This is a rule 1234 00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:49,640 Speaker 1: of thumb. I don't have to like follow it completely, 1235 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:51,360 Speaker 1: but a good rule of thumb. When you can make 1236 00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,560 Speaker 1: a twenty percent down payment, when you're financing the car 1237 00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 1: for four years or less, and the total cost of 1238 00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:02,280 Speaker 1: your monthly car expenses so like insurance, gas, and the 1239 00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:07,200 Speaker 1: actual car note doesn't exceed ten percent of your gross income, 1240 00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 1: that's the twenty four to ten rule. I kind of 1241 00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,240 Speaker 1: got it right, that's a good rule of thing to 1242 00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,240 Speaker 1: start when you actually start shopping for a car. 1243 00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:14,680 Speaker 2: I agree. 1244 00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,600 Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank y'all so much for setting in 1245 00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,440 Speaker 1: your questions again.

Georgia, you saved us and now you're 1290 01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:19,120 Speaker 1: trying to undo it. Well, lixten, I will keep this brief, 1291 01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:25,240 Speaker 1: but essentially in Georgia, Georgia Republicans passed a sweeping voter 1292 01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:30,280 Speaker 1: law that pretty much is a new form of Jim 1293 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,640 Speaker 1: Crow in a way. It has restricted voting access in 1294 01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:38,240 Speaker 1: the state. It's making it more difficult to bring proper identifications, 1295 01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:42,200 Speaker 1: so it's increasing the voter identification requirements for absentee voting. 1296 01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:47,000 Speaker 1: It's sorry, absentee balloting. It's limiting drop boxes. Those were 1297 01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:49,520 Speaker 1: the really cool, you know drop boxes you could use 1298 01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:51,480 Speaker 1: in the pandemic to save your life. You have to 1299 01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:55,680 Speaker 1: stay in line, and they are expanding the state legislator's 1300 01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:59,760 Speaker 1: power over elections. So it actually makes Georgia, this is 1301 01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:02,640 Speaker 1: a coin to the New York Times, the first major 1302 01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:07,640 Speaker 1: battleground to overhaul its election system since last year's presidential contests. 1303 01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:12,320 Speaker 1: So it's ironic that everyone praised Georgia, especially if you were, 1304 01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 1: you know, voting Democrat and wanted a certain election outcome. 1305 01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:19,280 Speaker 1: You know, Georgia went blue for the first time in decades, 1306 01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,720 Speaker 1: and it just goes to show you it doesn't matter. 1307 01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,720 Speaker 1: It does matter who the president is, don't get me wrong, 1308 01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:28,160 Speaker 1: but it matters even more to pay attention to what's 1309 01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:32,160 Speaker 1: happening on your state Capitol hill and your state legislature. 1310 01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:35,360 Speaker 1: So if you're listening and you're from Georgia. Make noise. 1311 01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:38,120 Speaker 1: You know, even though this law has passed, it's being 1312 01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:42,560 Speaker 1: widely widely disputed, So make some noise. Voting rights groups 1313 01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,800 Speaker 1: like Stacy Abram's Fair Fight Action that I've been supporting 1314 01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,360 Speaker 1: for a long time, they are out there making noise, 1315 01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:53,200 Speaker 1: and they're asking businesses to withdraw support of certain candidates 1316 01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:56,959 Speaker 1: and certain legislators who have voted for this particular peace 1317 01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,800 Speaker 1: of legislation. But yeah, it's really really terrifying. This is 1318 01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:02,640 Speaker 1: not the direction that I think we should be going. 1319 01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,360 Speaker 1: Voting should be getting easier, it should not be getting harder. 1320 01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:10,680 Speaker 1: It's really just a very thinly veiled effort to suppress 1321 01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:15,000 Speaker 1: votes that are not convenient to a certain political party. 1322 01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:17,800 Speaker 1: So want, Want, Want, But that's my break. 1323 01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:19,680 Speaker 2: Oh yes, I saw that. 1324 01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:22,919 Speaker 3: I was like, thankfully Stacey Abrams, you know, she is 1325 01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:26,280 Speaker 3: very clear and understanding what this is. They're calling these 1326 01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:31,040 Speaker 3: like Jim Crow laws basically, and so yeah, so I 1327 01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:34,320 Speaker 3: had an original boost, but it's it flew the coup 1328 01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,240 Speaker 3: because you know, brains in eighty. 1329 01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:38,800 Speaker 2: So instead I am going to boost one of. 1330 01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:42,200 Speaker 3: My favorite Instagram accounts because he does these cartoons.
