I was so terrible, 55 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: but I was determined. I said, oh no, I'm going 56 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: to be. 57 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: On the side. Yea, I need. 58 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: I was terrible, but I will say it was really 59 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. But yeah, so that was my 60 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: that was my horrible group participation. But it was, like 61 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: I said, it was a lot of fun. Although she 62 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: was like, girl, you have to go all the way 63 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: in the back because you. 64 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 3: Are off off with them. How are you gonna be 65 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 3: African with no rhythm? 66 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 2: See, that's the thing that's like, It's so the stereotype 67 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: works against you. It's the same thing with my husband, 68 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: and well, bless his heart, he's not the best dancer. 69 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: Like he dances though, and it's hard for people out there. 70 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: It's hard to find a partner who will like dance 71 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: with you at the wedding or at the friends event 72 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 2: or whatever, you know. So he would try. But if 73 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: the Latin song feels like a but shot that comes 74 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 2: on mangue, he's sitting his butt down real fast. And 75 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 2: his younger brother can really dance and soak in his 76 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 2: fiance and any way, he gets a lot of shit 77 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 2: for for not being like the best but Shota dancer, 78 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 2: And you know, I'm sad for him because the expectations 79 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 2: are too hot. Meanwhile, I just swing my hips and 80 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: they're like oh, like they're like, yeah, I look at 81 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: that one, because again, low expectations. We should just title 82 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: this show Low Expectations. Yeah. I once had an idea 83 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: for a book that every time, but every time I 84 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 2: described it, it made me sound so sad. But I 85 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 2: and every time I tried to explain the premise, people 86 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: will look at me like are you okay? Because my 87 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: whole idea was it was literally a book about how 88 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 2: everyone would be happier if we just expected less from everything. 89 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 2: Expected less from your partner, you're going to find expected 90 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 2: less from the job that you have. And I think 91 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 2: I still think that this is true. I believe science 92 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: would back me up on this. When you have less 93 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 2: expectations for what an outcome will be, or lower expectations 94 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 2: than you end up being happier because you're grateful that 95 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: anything happened, you know what I mean. But yeah, but 96 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 2: that's just so against the American mindset around and I'm 97 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: not trying to get too philosophical. But I ended up 98 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 2: just like, stop talking about it because people will look 99 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: at me like, like I was, you know, had four heads. 100 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 3: What do you mean maybe like less is less. 101 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 2: Stratified with like less than excellence? What satisfied with like 102 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 2: a partner who can't be you know all seventy five 103 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: different friends and family and sexual God and God? Is 104 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: that you need in your life? What?

Oh 305 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 2: it's so you need to read it. It's actually a 306 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 2: quick read. But it's about how Shonda, who was incredibly insecure, 307 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 2: and it's different because her insecurities and her shyness and 308 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 2: her social anxiety in part from her her weight issues. 309 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 2: So she struggled with her weight and anyway. And there 310 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,599 Speaker 2: was one year that she decided because she was always 311 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 2: the writer inside of her shell, like never went out, 312 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 2: never said yes to any invitations in Hollywood, would just 313 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 2: hide from any and then she decided one year like, Okay, 314 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 2: I'm done with this. And it wasn't like she had 315 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: some big epiphany. It was like it's like you're saying, 316 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 2: it's just you kind of get tired of having the 317 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 2: same conversation with yourself and you're like, you know what, 318 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 2: this is the year I'm just going to say yes 319 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: to everything. And I really recommend it. I even recommend 320 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 2: the audiobook because she reads it herself. I think I 321 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 2: might have read the audio listened to the audiobook version, 322 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 2: but that's great, what I'll say, because I have the 323 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 2: same internal dialogue like I think a lot of us do. 324 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: There's always that like personal flaw like character flaw or 325 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 2: flawsa plural that you have that aren't as easy to imagine, 326 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: Like they're not as clear cut a path, Like you 327 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 2: want to fit into the bikini in six weeks. You 328 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 2: know you need to eat less and work out more. 329 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 2: But it's almost like with these you know, character like 330 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 2: the internal things that we have that can hinder us 331 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 2: or hold us back, Like you've said, there's not as 332 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 2: clear a path, and so it's it's harder and it's 333 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 2: also harder to measure success. And what I all I'll 334 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 2: say is like I hope that you celebrate even though 335 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 2: it has led to more conversations. You should still like 336 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 2: celebrate the win that you had, the conversation you might 337 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 2: not have had, and put yourself on the back and 338 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 2: acknowledge that it may not be like a clear linear 339 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 2: path and to get to the point where you're able 340 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: to like it may always be uncomfortable, and I think 341 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 2: it probably will because you're a human being uncomfortable to 342 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 2: have tough conversations with people. But it's like, you know, 343 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 2: how much time do you spend agonizing over it? Do 344 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 2: you always get bubble gut? Okay, No, this time I 345 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 2: didn't get the bubble cut. That time I didn't it 346 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: wasn't in the bathroom for four hours. And like, give 347 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 2: yourself a pat if you improve a little bit. And 348 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: that's and this is just like the type of thing 349 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 2: that I've worked on coming back from all the postpartum anxiety. 350 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: Is okay, if I fell asleep, you know, within forty 351 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 2: five minutes last night instead of four hours, Like that's 352 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: a win, okay, And just mark those little those little 353 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 2: wins because it isn't as Yeah, it's just not as 354 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 2: linear as some of the goals like you talked about before, 355 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 2: you know, working out, et cetera. 356 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 3: No, that is really good advice. I didn't think about that. 357 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: Like the fact is you had the conversation Tippany, that's 358 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: bigger than most Normally I'd be. 359 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 3: Like, uh oh I double booked.

I've been saying 384 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,959 Speaker 1: it for a long time anyway, because like you know, 385 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: like I'm typically decent at managing stress. Well, let me 386 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: not say that, because who knows if I don't even 387 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: know if I'm decent. Who knows what decent is? But 388 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think typically a lot of things 389 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: bring me stress like they used to so I was 390 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: kind of like, I'm good, but I realized, no, I 391 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: would really love tools and resources to manage like you know, 392 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: stress and also tools and resources, because I was asking myself, 393 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: I'm like, I actually don't have the tools and resources 394 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: to navigate this because I, like, I grew up in 395 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: a household, like my parents are really strict, and so 396 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: it was like, you you have to be like walk 397 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: the straight and narrow or else. And so I know 398 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: that a lot of the anxiety comes from what's or else? Mean, Tiffany, 399 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 1: Like you have to be like in the straight and 400 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: narrow or else, and that's what That's the fear that 401 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 1: I carry around with me, is this fear of the 402 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: or else. And even though I'm adult now, it's like, well, 403 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: you can't get cut off, you know, you're not nine. 404 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: You're not gonna get a spanking, you know, But I 405 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: still carry that or else fear along with me. 406 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 3: And I'm just like I want to be able to 407 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 3: let that go. 408 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: But I know that if you can't build a house 409 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: that you want without the proper tools, and I know, 410 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: it's like, okay, it's pastime, it's time to get the 411 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: proper tools. So I'm actually looking forward to that because 412 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, cause I used to go to 413 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: therapy when I was in college because I was like 414 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: so overwhelmed and it was really really, really helpful. But 415 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: I have not gone, honestly since, even though I've said that, 416 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 1: you know, I've wanted to. It's just been I haven't 417 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: put the effort in, not because I'm opposed to therapy. 418 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,719 Speaker 1: I'm like, ah, next time, next time. So I just 419 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: think that, yeah, I have to make it as important 420 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: as the other things in my life to like find 421 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: a therapist, you know, and I have like great insurance, 422 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 1: so I know that it would be covered. 423 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 2: So I'm like, girl, oh the therapist who takes insurance 424 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 2: like a magical unicorn. 425 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 3: But they don't take insurance. 426 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 2: That's part of the problem, is like, and this is 427 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 2: how I found my therapist. What I found this great 428 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 2: prenatal yoga studio that actually is like a wellness a 429 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 2: wellness business that focuses on like post and prenatal massage 430 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 2: therapy and they have like new mom trainings and they 431 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 2: did we did all lot of our like infant CPR 432 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 2: classes there, so it's more than just yoga, and they 433 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 2: have they refer people to experts in the field like 434 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 2: they have, like the certain like they have the they 435 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 2: endorse certain experts. So they endorse these three or four 436 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 2: different prenatal therapists who could who really specialized with new 437 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: moms or moms who're dealing with anxiety.

So it's almost 441 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 2: it does take work. You have to start calling. Do 442 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 2: you take this insurance? 443 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 3: No? 444 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 2: Do you know someone who does?

Yeah, and it's left to 667 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 2: be it's left to be determined if they're going to 668 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 2: be extending this or doing it again.

And she works in 673 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 2: New York City. Yeah, so I'll just feeling summer Summer 674 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 2: twenty twenty is just like canceled, what just gone? 675 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 1: You know? The kids like so Governor Murphy, the governor 676 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: of my state, just posted on ig either yesterday or 677 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: today just saying, hey, so school's closed. 678 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 3: For the rest of the school year. So these babies 679 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 3: ain't go mac. 680 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, journey right, yeah. 681 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what to do. Like Supergirl, I 682 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: guess we'll get her some tutor. 683 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 2: I mean she's been Does that mean no more virtually 684 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 2: they're still doing E learning right or does that mean 685 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 2: like that stuff? Okay, okay, so that's not going back exactly, 686 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:12,959 Speaker 2: but still it's so light. 687 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: So the way it works, at least for a Supergirl 688 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: in her school is that every morning at eight am 689 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: she gets class work schoolwork, and she has to be 690 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: completed by eight pm. But then at three at two 691 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: forty five to like three forty five or like an 692 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: hour to two hours, she has to log in the 693 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: zoom for a lesson. But I'm like, you usually are 694 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: in school all day, so how are you getting all 695 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: that you need with like this like one or two 696 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: hours worth of visual lesson? And then you know, like 697 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: just like here's some work to do. 698 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 3: I don't know so. 699 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: And meanwhile, she's going to ninth grade. So that's the 700 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: big worry because she's headed to high school. So it's like, 701 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: is she going to be ready? I mean we're fortunate 702 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: in that, you know, obviously we can pay for tutor 703 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: and things to make sure she's good. Because here at 704 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: New York, you have to place into the high school 705 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: that you want. You have to take a test, and 706 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: she got into a really good high school, so you know, 707 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: you we want to and it's very competitive and it's 708 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: not going to be easy, although she's been a good student, 709 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: but still for that, you know, second, for the last 710 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,479 Speaker 1: quarter of your eighth grade year not to have like this, 711 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: like traditional instruction, and then we'll see what happens in 712 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: September to go to school, to high school at that 713 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: So there's some worry there. I think about other parents 714 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:19,719 Speaker 1: who might not be able to afford tutoring. 715 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 3: What do they do? 716 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 2: You know, well, at least there's comfort in knowing that 717 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 2: your kid's not the only kid who's behind, like and 718 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 2: you hope that. And our cousin is a high school 719 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 2: principal in Manhattan, and she's talked about they are having 720 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 2: conversations around do you, especially with younger kids, like do 721 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 2: you hold them back a little bit so that they 722 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 2: don't they're not so far behind, or do you plan 723 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 2: to catch up on stuff at the beginning of the 724 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 2: year to acknowledge like what they might have missed at 725 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 2: the end of the year. And I hope that, you know, 726 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 2: the hope the school systems will figure out a way 727 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 2: to not make it so that kids like Supergirl come 728 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 2: into school feeling they're so far behind, Like they can 729 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 2: adjust the course a little bit so that they can 730 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 2: catch up if you know they need to at all. Man, Yeah, 731 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 2: it's it's it's hard enough with the baby, but like 732 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 2: having kids in school.

Our 790 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 2: first question comes from listener who just wants to be 791 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 2: referred to as D. She says, I'm a huge fan 792 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 2: of the show. I listen while working every week. I'm wondering, 793 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 2: since federal student loan payments have been waived until the 794 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 2: end of September thanks to Congress the Stimulus Package the 795 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 2: Cares Act, what do you guys think I should do 796 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 2: with the money that would normally go toward my student 797 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 2: loan each month. Right now, my student loan balance is 798 00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 2: twenty seven thousand. Fortunately I'm still employed full time. Right now, 799 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 2: I'm using half of my stimulus funds. So she's gotten 800 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 2: that twelve hundred dollars check we talked about to pay 801 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 2: off credit card debt. I have a car note and 802 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 2: a personal loan and about two thousand dollars saved in 803 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:15,359 Speaker 2: an emergency fund. Issue is she doesn't tell us how 804 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 2: much she's saving with her student loan payment, but like 805 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 2: for her own purposes, licious to imagine it's a few 806 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,840 Speaker 2: hundred dollars. If her you know, for her balance is 807 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 2: twenty seven thousand dollars, I can imagine it's a few 808 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,320 Speaker 2: hundred dollars a month that she's wondering what should she 809 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:29,839 Speaker 2: do with it? 810 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:35,359 Speaker 1: Any thoughts here, Yes, only because I suspect that her 811 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:36,359 Speaker 1: life does she say where she. 812 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 2: Lives, She does not disclose her location. 813 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 1: Nope, So I suspect that her life costs her more 814 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 1: than two thousand dollars a month, because that's how much 815 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,399 Speaker 1: she has in savings, right her emergency saves. Yes, So 816 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 1: my concern is during times like this, I really I mean, 817 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 1: I cannot preach this enough to be having a strong 818 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,720 Speaker 1: cast position saving savings savings. 819 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 3: Normally, you know, me and Landy are like no debt, 820 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 3: no way away. 821 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: But during times that look like what's shaping up to 822 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: be a recession, I really want you to have enough savings. 823 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: Although I'm glad that your job is still intact, there's 824 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: no no job is guaranteed. One sickness can happen to 825 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: anything can happen during times like these, So I would 826 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 1: much rather if it was me, even though I would 827 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: normally say, well, girl, put it toward your student loan debt. 828 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,439 Speaker 1: Because right now it's going to go total totally toward 829 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: the principle. But now I'm like, no, put it in 830 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,800 Speaker 1: an online only savings account and going to Magnify money, 831 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: find one that gives the highest interest rate and has 832 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: an A rating. And that's what I would say. I 833 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: would put my money there, because I want you to have, 834 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: you know, at least a few months of expenses of 835 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 1: your most essential expenses saved, just to be on the 836 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 1: safe side in case something should happen down the line 837 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,720 Speaker 1: while we're still in these like down economic times. 838 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, and she mentions, well, she mentions a couple of 839 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 2: other loans that she has. She has a personal loan 840 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,720 Speaker 2: and a car note. So I mean, I agree with Tiffany, 841 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,439 Speaker 2: like I would beef up that emergence fund. But if 842 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,960 Speaker 2: you're you know, if your car note and your personal loan, 843 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 2: if you could maybe put a little bit of that 844 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 2: extra money towards those debts to pay them off, especially 845 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 2: that personal loan, you know, that could be a good 846 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 2: use of the money. But and at the same time, 847 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 2: maybe put part of it away for your savings to 848 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 2: beef it up. You know, it doesn't have to be 849 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:19,240 Speaker 2: all or nothing. 850 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 3: Mm hm. No, it doesn't. 851 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's that's and I'm glad it's like, that's 852 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,439 Speaker 2: the point of them making it so that you don't 853 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 2: have to make your federal student loan payments for the 854 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 2: next How many months is it till September seventy five 855 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 2: or four? I can't think, it seems like forever away. 856 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 2: It's to give you guys some extra wiggle room. And yeah, 857 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 2: to be saving it and using it to pay down 858 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 2: debt is exactly you know, the right way of going 859 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 2: about it. Yeah, all right, d thank you for your question. 860 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 2: Let's take we have like some one syllable questions today. 861 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,239 Speaker 2: This one comes from listener who wants to go by 862 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 2: the low Low says, I love the show. I have 863 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 2: reached my emergency savings goal of twenty thousand dollars recently, 864 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 2: and I decided I don't want to invest more than 865 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 2: I already am into my four oh one K during 866 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 2: these turbulent times, so I started looking into money market accounts. 867 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 2: Could you tell me what are some of the pros 868 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 2: and cons of putting your money in a money market account? 869 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,240 Speaker 2: Thank you, low oh low oh? 870 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 3: I know no, lo lo lo, what lo lo? 871 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 1: Your money's gonna stay on the lo loo if you 872 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 1: don't invest out. 873 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, money markets are like, first of all, there's 874 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 2: nothing special about money market accounts. They're basically a savings 875 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 2: account that you have check writing abilities, and it's not 876 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,839 Speaker 2: and maybe you get a bit card, but then why 877 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 2: not just get a checking account. And I mean I 878 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 2: haven't checked their rates recently, but they're really not great. 879 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 2: Either they're worse than or they're just as good as 880 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 2: a regular ass savings account. So there's really not a 881 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 2: there's not a benefit to a money market account. And 882 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 2: when it comes to not wanting to invest, so let's 883 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 2: unpack that. So you've reached your emergency savings goal of 884 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 2: twenty K. That's fabulous and I mean that sounds significant, 885 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,799 Speaker 2: that sounds great, and now you're looking at okay, so 886 00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 2: the market is down. I have a four oh one K. 887 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 2: Should I be putting extra money that I would have 888 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 2: been putting in my emergency savings into the market or 889 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 2: should I be more conservative and put it into a 890 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 2: deposit account such as a money market fund. I know 891 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 2: it seems counterintuitive, but I and we talked about this before, 892 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 2: and again we're not investing experts. We just share, you know, 893 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 2: the knowledge that we have from our own experience. I 894 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 2: try and think of this time as like a clearance sale, 895 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,760 Speaker 2: and I try and think of a clearance sale on stocks. 896 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 2: So stocks are largely down, although they have if you 897 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 2: look at your four one k like I did recently, 898 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 2: my four one k is not almost back to where 899 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 2: it was, but it's on the way back. It's pretty 900 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 2: it's definitely one of its way back. It's only been 901 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 2: a few months. I try and think, now is the 902 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,400 Speaker 2: time when you want to be investing. If you are 903 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 2: hopeful about the future, if you have a long time horizon, 904 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,720 Speaker 2: if you're especially like if you're someone in your thirties 905 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 2: or forties right now or younger, you certainly have a 906 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 2: few several decades ahead of you to whether not just 907 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,800 Speaker 2: this economic crisis, but maybe a couple more. And I 908 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 2: personally increased my four to one K contribution and it 909 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 2: did feel a little counterintuitive, but it really makes sense 910 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 2: because the money that you invest now, you'll be able 911 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 2: to get more for it than you would have normally, 912 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 2: and then when the market does bounce back, those investments 913 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 2: will grow and you should be better off in the 914 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 2: end than if you didn't invest anything. 915 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 3: That's the hope. 916 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:28,280 Speaker 2: Of course, nothing certain, but as a recession maybe myself, 917 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 2: I who started to save before and one K right 918 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,359 Speaker 2: after the recession hit. I'm so grateful that I did, 919 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,359 Speaker 2: and I think we will. You just have to look 920 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 2: at what history has shown us, which is that the 921 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 2: market will recover. This is also a very different recession. 922 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 2: This is a self inflicted recession. We will reopen the economy. 923 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,319 Speaker 2: It may take a while, but already the market has 924 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 2: started to go up. And I think I definitely maybe 925 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 2: put it in an online Savan's account if you really 926 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 2: just want some security or a CV. We've talked about before, 927 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 2: but there's no point in a money market. I'm in 928 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 2: my opinion, yeah right, Like, well I want and this 929 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:07,799 Speaker 2: is low right, so low. 930 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,319 Speaker 1: So here I get it because I'm totally you where 931 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,799 Speaker 1: I'm like, investing scary, scary, But to Mandy's point, if 932 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 1: you've got ten or more years and you should look 933 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 1: at investing as a long term activity. So there's something 934 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,280 Speaker 1: called dollar cost averaging. So this is what I suggest, 935 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,439 Speaker 1: is what I'm leaning into. So dollar cost averaging is when, 936 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,759 Speaker 1: if you're an investor, you have money to invest, you 937 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 1: divide up. Let's just say you have, you know, a 938 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,160 Speaker 1: thousand dollars that you don't put a thousand dollars into 939 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 1: the market today. Then instead you say, huh, you know what, 940 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to divide one thousand dollars times ten months, 941 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 1: and I'm going to put one hundred dollars into the 942 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: market the first of every month, and as the market 943 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 1: goes up and down and up and down. Into the 944 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,400 Speaker 1: market could mean your retirement account. It could mean opening 945 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 1: up a target date fund or a mutual fund, or 946 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 1: investing in indexes. 947 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,319 Speaker 3: But if you do that, if you. 948 00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 1: If you consistantly put money away for an investing, this 949 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,279 Speaker 1: is dollars cost averaging. It means that there'll be some 950 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 1: days that you put money in and your money goes down, 951 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 1: and there'll be some days you put money in and 952 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 1: your money goes up, and the ups and downs will 953 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:17,279 Speaker 1: average out to a basic return. So that's what I 954 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,360 Speaker 1: would lean into that. If you like, I'm assuming that 955 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,399 Speaker 1: if you're putting money, if you reach your twenty thousand dollars, 956 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 1: that you didn't reach the twenty thousand dollars and one 957 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,879 Speaker 1: lump sum that let's just say you were saving five 958 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 1: hundred bucks a month, you know, and you're like, okay, 959 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,839 Speaker 1: I don't need any more additional savings. So I would 960 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 1: be putting that five hundred bucks a month consistently. And 961 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 1: you will see over the next ten years or so 962 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,879 Speaker 1: that you know, yes, there will be sometimes your money 963 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,480 Speaker 1: has gone down and sometimes it's gone a wagh up, 964 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,479 Speaker 1: but it will average out to an up over time. 965 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,239 Speaker 1: That is what the market teaches us. And so you 966 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,000 Speaker 1: actually lose money, like, don't be like me. I was 967 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,239 Speaker 1: such a quarter of cash, Like I can only imagine 968 00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,840 Speaker 1: in the last ten years how much money I actually 969 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,719 Speaker 1: lost by saving so much in cash. I mean, I 970 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 1: had so much saved in cash. The house I'm sitting 971 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 1: now I bought with cash. You should not have that 972 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 1: much take like I should not have had that much saved. 973 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,319 Speaker 1: And I knew it was my fear, even though like 974 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,359 Speaker 1: my brain was like Tiffany, you don't need this much save, 975 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,719 Speaker 1: this is crazy, but my heart was like a scant up, 976 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:18,319 Speaker 1: scanted up, scared. 977 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 3: I don't want to put it. I don't want to 978 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 3: lose it. I don't want to lose it. 979 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 1: So I ended up, like I said, buying a house cash, 980 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,600 Speaker 1: which is honestly, that's great in all but you know, 981 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,880 Speaker 1: I lost out in the long run by not giving 982 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 1: my money a chance to grow, and so that's what 983 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: I want for you. So do your googles dollar costs averaging, 984 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,880 Speaker 1: which just basically means that you just put money in. Basically, 985 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,240 Speaker 1: it's almost like drip marketing. You just drip drip investing. 986 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 1: You just drip drip drip your money in consistently over time, 987 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 1: and then you will see consistently over time that the 988 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,319 Speaker 1: good times and the bad times will weigh out to 989 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:51,919 Speaker 1: decent times over time. 990 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely one hundred percent, and with twenty k in 991 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 2: the bank. I mean, if you want someone to help, 992 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,400 Speaker 2: a financial planner can help you decide. Like pecially my 993 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 2: financial planner, she helped me strategize I didn't do. I 994 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,600 Speaker 2: didn't start saving, like putting everything into the market and 995 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 2: his stocks. We were like a little bit conservative. So 996 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,240 Speaker 2: for shorter term goals, we opened a couple of CDs 997 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 2: and then we put extra money into our IRA. Like 998 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 2: there's different levels, you know, but money markets again, like 999 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,360 Speaker 2: you might as well just put money into your savings account. 1000 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,799 Speaker 2: It'll be it'll do just as well, if not better 1001 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,720 Speaker 2: than a a money market. While we're on the subject. 1002 00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 2: We had another We had a similar question from a 1003 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,759 Speaker 2: listener essentially wanting to know.

What would you say 1029 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:35,120 Speaker 2: to this? 1030 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,080 Speaker 1: I honestly this, So this is what I would say. 1031 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 1: I would say, look into index funds. So if you 1032 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,839 Speaker 1: now is not the time to be like, oh, I'm 1033 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,800 Speaker 1: a start picking stocks I because you're not going to 1034 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,880 Speaker 1: know and even if you happen to luckily pick a 1035 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,240 Speaker 1: stock that goes up. Look, let's just say like Beyond 1036 00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,000 Speaker 1: Meat did really great today, right, and you pick a 1037 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 1: stock you're like woo. But if you haven't followed, like 1038 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,000 Speaker 1: what made Beyond Meat a good stock? You know, what 1039 00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,399 Speaker 1: are their profits versus their dead are? 1040 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 2: You know? 1041 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,600 Speaker 1: Are they using their cash effectively? Like who's running the company? 1042 00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:10,239 Speaker 1: So to understand why a stock actually went up, it's 1043 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,719 Speaker 1: like buying a house without getting an inspection, like why 1044 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,240 Speaker 1: is this house a good house? So then I wouldn't 1045 00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:19,279 Speaker 1: be purchasing individual stocks unless you were going to like 1046 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,800 Speaker 1: take a course and learn more about how to properly 1047 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 1: do so if you don't not to do anything else, 1048 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,799 Speaker 1: you can invest in the in an index. So you 1049 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 1: can invest in an index almost like as a as 1050 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,400 Speaker 1: a stock. That's called that ETF. That's you can I 1051 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:36,200 Speaker 1: don't remember some of the symbols like boo, there's some symbols. Well, 1052 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:39,799 Speaker 1: you can literally just google ETF index funds. And so 1053 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,719 Speaker 1: an index fund is just a like the S and 1054 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,839 Speaker 1: P five hundred, the Dow, the what is it? What's 1055 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 1: some other indexes? I always sent the smp F one hundred, 1056 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:48,840 Speaker 1: the well. 1057 00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 2: The standards like the SNP is kind of like when 1058 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,520 Speaker 2: you're opening up an index fund, this is most likely 1059 00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,800 Speaker 2: the index that it'll track against. And you can start 1060 00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,280 Speaker 2: with anything like and I think even for a novice, 1061 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,640 Speaker 2: it's almost like where to open an account at. You can 1062 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,920 Speaker 2: open an account at Vanguard, at Fidelity, at your local 1063 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,319 Speaker 2: your bank might have an investing platform like you. There's 1064 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,160 Speaker 2: a bunch of like low cost brokerage accounts out there. 1065 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,680 Speaker 2: Open up individual I RAY account or sorry, an IRA 1066 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,359 Speaker 2: account or like a brokerage account, which are a little 1067 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,359 Speaker 2: bit different. I can post a helpful article on this too. 1068 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,319 Speaker 2: I know you said you're overloaded by reading, but you 1069 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,360 Speaker 2: want to understand a little bit the type of account 1070 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,000 Speaker 2: that you're getting once you're in there. If you really 1071 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,400 Speaker 2: just want hands off, you can do like a target 1072 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,200 Speaker 2: date fund, which is a type of mutual fund that 1073 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,080 Speaker 2: tracks you pick the target day fund that matches when 1074 00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,839 Speaker 2: you think you'll retire, and then it just invests for you. 1075 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:40,920 Speaker 2: I have a target day fund in my four to 1076 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,919 Speaker 2: one k. It's worked out beautifully for me. I don't 1077 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,320 Speaker 2: have to think about it, and it's just grown because 1078 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,160 Speaker 2: it's very heavily invested in stocks now and it will 1079 00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,839 Speaker 2: get conserve more conservative as I get older target date. 1080 00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 2: Yes that being said, like I was talking to my 1081 00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,799 Speaker 2: cousin yesterday and a banana who I love. How old 1082 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 2: is she now? Like too old to be called Anna Banana? 1083 00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:07,319 Speaker 2: But whatever? Twenty one, twenty two and she's been She 1084 00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,640 Speaker 2: has been playing around with some investing apps like Acorns 1085 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 2: and Stash, and there are these robo advisors that can 1086 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:20,120 Speaker 2: also be like an entryway into investing, and ultimately it's 1087 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,720 Speaker 2: it's kind of the same thing. They help you invest 1088 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:27,360 Speaker 2: in index funds like diversified mutual funds, which is you know, 1089 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,480 Speaker 2: they kind of take the guesswork out of it. For you. 1090 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,120 Speaker 2: So it's almost a question of would you rather pick 1091 00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,440 Speaker 2: the brokerage account you want and do the work of 1092 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 2: setting up your account through them, which takes a little 1093 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,640 Speaker 2: bit of research, or you can use a robo advisor, 1094 00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,440 Speaker 2: which takes even less of the guestwork out of the 1095 00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 2: whole investing thing. Just to get your feet wet, I 1096 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,719 Speaker 2: mean those are so I think we talked about acorns before, 1097 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:51,279 Speaker 2: I forgetting like. 1098 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,359 Speaker 1: It's like acorns, there's some well that's not really that well, 1099 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,680 Speaker 1: I guess the oh betterment wealth front and you look 1100 00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,600 Speaker 1: like when it comes to index funds, like at a 1101 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:03,279 Speaker 1: wealth like at a Vanguard or a chop Swab or 1102 00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 1: a fidelity, they usually almost all of them have something 1103 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 1: called a total market fun meeting. Basically you're buying like 1104 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,799 Speaker 1: a slice of what the market is doing. So as 1105 00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,200 Speaker 1: the market goes up, your money goes up. As the 1106 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 1: market goes down, your money goes down. And over time, 1107 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:19,000 Speaker 1: the market goes up over time.

Now's the time to be able 1119 00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,640 Speaker 1: to figure out how to autopilot, and then you know, 1120 00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,000 Speaker 1: when you're safely on the ground, take your take your 1121 00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,160 Speaker 1: flight lessons, Like don't take flight lessons like the day 1122 00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:00,000 Speaker 1: of your first flight, because you're guaranteed to lose money 1123 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:00,480 Speaker 1: that way. 1124 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:00,839 Speaker 3: I think. 1125 00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:04,439 Speaker 2: Anyway, Yeah, and I also think, like anyone who's thinking 1126 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,400 Speaker 2: about starting to invest, I just say, just do it 1127 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,120 Speaker 2: the easiest way possible. Just that, like, get a small 1128 00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,879 Speaker 2: win now rather than wait to be an expert. You're 1129 00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:13,759 Speaker 2: reading books. I think that's you don't even have to 1130 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:15,920 Speaker 2: read all those books, to be honest, and reading those books, 1131 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,680 Speaker 2: you're kind of like you could just open a target 1132 00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,960 Speaker 2: date fund and just start putting like five hundred bucks 1133 00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:23,600 Speaker 2: a month or however bunch you can afford into that 1134 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,000 Speaker 2: target date fund, and then you can do additional research, 1135 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,480 Speaker 2: like Tiff said, and learn how to do more more 1136 00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,440 Speaker 2: nuanced investing, or maybe buy some individual stocks if you 1137 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,279 Speaker 2: have money to play around with. But for now, it's 1138 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,239 Speaker 2: just like just start now. If you're if you're new, 1139 00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,000 Speaker 2: if you're just getting a new job and you're opening 1140 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,120 Speaker 2: up your first four to one K, this is great 1141 00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,759 Speaker 2: because you're again the money that you're contributing. Now. If 1142 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 2: you contribute one hundred dollars to your four to one 1143 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,759 Speaker 2: K today, when stocks are lower than they were a 1144 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 2: year ago, that one hundred dollars can buy you more. Right, 1145 00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:54,120 Speaker 2: So if those stocks that you buy end up increasing 1146 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,319 Speaker 2: in value, well you've got a bigger return on your 1147 00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,759 Speaker 2: investment because you bought low. You can't plan for this 1148 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,799 Speaker 2: kind of thing, but I would say if you, if 1149 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,120 Speaker 2: you have like we said before, if you have time 1150 00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,400 Speaker 2: on your side, and you can handle a little bit 1151 00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,960 Speaker 2: of risk now. And again we're not investment experts. We're 1152 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,640 Speaker 2: just like I'm just someone who's opened a four one 1153 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,480 Speaker 2: K after the last recession and saw great things happen. 1154 00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:19,080 Speaker 2: I would say, yes, just start and don't overthink it. 1155 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:23,319 Speaker 2: Which people, especially women, we like to feel like we 1156 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:27,320 Speaker 2: understand something entirely before we jump in, and you could 1157 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,440 Speaker 2: just set yourself up, you know, to miss out on 1158 00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,960 Speaker 2: potential returns by you know, waiting until you are an 1159 00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:34,920 Speaker 2: expert to dipe in. 1160 00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:40,880 Speaker 1: Exactly, exactly exactly as my husband, my husband, my sister's 1161 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 1: husband would say, exactly. 1162 00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:46,840 Speaker 2: Since you brought that old chest no out exactly. 1163 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:54,040 Speaker 3: Oh well, so it's time for a boosts.

So it just it's just 1297 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,120 Speaker 1: things like that. You're like, wow, but you think about 1298 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,280 Speaker 1: the you know, like what you sew, you know what 1299 01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,800 Speaker 1: you reap, you truly have sown. And I think to myself, like, 1300 01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,600 Speaker 1: remember when I first did the first Literature Challenge. Everyone 1301 01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:21,200 Speaker 1: said basically I was dumb because I was giving it 1302 01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,480 Speaker 1: away for free, But I'm like, no, people really need help. 1303 01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,040 Speaker 1: There has to be something. I mean, I speak and 1304 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,240 Speaker 1: I you know, and I have books now. So the 1305 01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,240 Speaker 1: challenges were my way to say, if you don't have 1306 01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:33,280 Speaker 1: any money, I can give you a full fledged course, 1307 01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,320 Speaker 1: like which is totally free. And it's like year six 1308 01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:37,360 Speaker 1: and all of them are. 1309 01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,840 Speaker 3: Still completely free. There's been no gotcha, gotcha. 1310 01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:43,320 Speaker 1: I did one with Magnify Money and Mandy was my 1311 01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,840 Speaker 1: special guest every week, so like that was the credit one, 1312 01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 1: which is like one of my favorite ones. And so 1313 01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:50,880 Speaker 1: you just think about things like that that people tell 1314 01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:51,880 Speaker 1: you are like not the. 1315 01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:54,600 Speaker 3: Right move or take take, take or don't give. 1316 01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:57,080 Speaker 1: And you think to yourself, how that given these two instances, 1317 01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,080 Speaker 1: maybe they wouldn't have thought of me, you know. And 1318 01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,440 Speaker 1: who knows when once it air So it's supposed to air, well, 1319 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,200 Speaker 1: it's supposed to begin airing.
