All right, 33 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: Regina says, Hey, love all the content, y'all. Do I 34 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: have been following y'all for a few years now. My 35 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: question is that I have a four to oh one 36 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: K from a previous employer, still sitting with the original 37 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: brokerage I opened it in when I worked there, which 38 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: is TIAA. I am now with a new employer and 39 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: I have a four oh one K through that employer 40 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: through a different brokerage, which is Fidelity. Now I realize 41 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: I should roll my original four oh one K into 42 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: an IRA for ease. Should I just roll it over 43 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: to my new brokerage. If I do this and then 44 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: end up with another employer later in life at another brokerage, 45 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: would I then be able to roll both my IRA 46 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: and current active four oh one K over. I would 47 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: imagine I'd want to keep them together just so I 48 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: don't forget where my money is. Lol. Thank you so 49 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: much for your thoughts. And no, I won't sue my 50 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: brown besties. Thank you, Regina. Regina's got her Solis shake 51 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: care how ginos? Okay? But this is a great question, Regina, 52 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: and I think your instinct is important, which is like, 53 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: for you, you would want to keep them together because you 54 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: worry that you might forget where your money is. And 55 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: that is a real concern here, right, is if you 56 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: have accounts in all different places, life is going to life. 57 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: You may have several jobs over the rest of your career, 58 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: and it can It doesn't seem like it's, you know, possible, 59 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: but it is very possible to forget that you have 60 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: some money left over. I myself have like fifteen hundred 61 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: dollars or something like that saved in a four to 62 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: oh one K that's now been rolled over into an 63 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: IRA from a previous employer, and I still have not 64 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: got around because every time I think about it, I'm like, yeah, 65 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: I gotta do that, and then I just don't do 66 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: it because I go to log in and I don't 67 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: know my password, and I'm like, I'll come back another time. 68 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: And it's just, you know, it's a little bit there's 69 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: friction there. It's not so simple. It still like takes 70 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: effort to do it right. So and I'm like, well, 71 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: it's not going anywhere. But what if I forget I 72 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: had this fifteen hundred dollars. It's ad that's not a 73 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: lot of it's not a little bit of money, you know, 74 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: So we don't want that to happen, right, So if 75 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: you think you may be inclined to forget, it may 76 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: make a lot of sense to just take your previous 77 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: employers for one K and roll it over into an 78 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: IRA that you own, and then make that IRA your 79 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: destination for any future for a one K rollovers. Okay, 80 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: So that means if you leave the job that you 81 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: have now and you want to move your four to 82 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: one K out of that Fidelity account, you already have 83 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: this IRA opened with that that has your previous four 84 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: one K already rolled over, and then you can just 85 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: add that and then open up your new four one 86 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: K wherever your employer has their partnership with. Another reason 87 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: it's great to roll it over over is because your 88 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: four one K through your employer it may not have 89 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: all of the investing options that you want. They may 90 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: have very limited funds, or the funds that they do 91 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: have maybe more expensive than what you can find opening 92 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: your own brokerage account, like through a Vanguard or a Schwab. 93 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: The good news is that I mean Fidelity TIAA. These 94 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: are both platforms that should have a wealth of options 95 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: for investing and low cost investments as well, So you 96 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: could be good, you know, just keeping your money parked 97 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: there in that account. But let's say the other side 98 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: of this is, okay, I don't want to open an iray, 99 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 1: even if I do designate that as my four to 100 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,799 Speaker 1: one K rollover pot for the rest of my career. 101 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: I would rather just take my four to one K 102 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: from my previous employer and roll it over to this 103 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: new four oh one K at Fidelity. You can absolutely 104 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: do that too. That takes a couple of like cons 105 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: out of the equation. It means that you won't have 106 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: to keep track of that for a one K rollover 107 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: IRA that you would open, and it just sort of 108 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: gives you something to pick. It gives you something to 109 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: build on through your four to one K at your 110 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: new company. So those are a couple of pros, But 111 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: for me, it's really which option is going to work 112 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: better for you. The simplest, which means like I can 113 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,559 Speaker 1: just do one thing and kind of get this ticked 114 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: off and I know that I'm not losing or keep 115 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: losing track of the money that I have, is just 116 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: to go ahead and roll that for a one K. 117 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: Tell TIAA, here's where you can send my money. They'll 118 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: roll it directly into your new employer provided for a 119 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: one K, and you can keep it moving. You can 120 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: keep doing that for the next job and the next 121 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: job and the next job, and you have this like 122 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: snowball of four one K balances that you're moving over. 123 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: But it can't hurt to take a couple of extra 124 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: steps to say, Okay, long term, maybe I should have 125 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: my individual broken where I can roll these accounts over 126 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: into and I can control what types of investing options 127 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: I have. There's no bad answer here, there's just slight differences. 128 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, it's up to 129 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: you and what you're willing to do, how much work 130 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: you're willing to put in, and how much effort, and 131 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's up to you. But that's a great question, Regina, 132 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: and thank you so much for sending that. I'm going 133 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: to take a quick break and be right back with 134 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: question two. All RBA fam we are back, and this 135 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: is a question from missus X from Instagram.

I'm wondering why credit card 142 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: debt would cause overdraft fees. I'm gonna guess you mean 143 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: like late fees or interest fees. But regardless, you're paying 144 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: extra money on top of the debt. Right. We have 145 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: a child in private school and no one who will 146 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: be starting college.

That's not why you're here, missus X. 165 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: You're here because I think you represent a lot of Americans, 166 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: a lot of working people who are making good money 167 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: and yet because of the inflation that's happening, and because 168 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: the best choices for our children often are more money. 169 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: And as a parent myself, I get it now, I 170 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: really get it. I make decisions not infrequently that are 171 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: not in my own best financial interests because they are 172 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: what's best for the kids. And that is so real, 173 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 1: so real. It's not like you can look at a 174 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: piece of paper. I feel like this is like in 175 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: the age of we'll call him Dr Yon. Know who 176 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: I'm talking about, These old school financial educators or financial 177 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: influencers who will look at someone like you and say, 178 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: take your kids out of private school. What's wrong with 179 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: the public school down the street. You know, you could 180 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: probably be saving sixty thousand dollars or however much your 181 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: annual tuition is and just put that money into paying 182 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: off your debt. But I get it because, like your 183 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: child's education, at least in my mind, it is one 184 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: of the most important investments you can make. And if 185 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: we're going to be scrimping and saving, is that where 186 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna pull or trim the fat from to you? 187 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: That is up to you. That is your own damn business. 188 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: Missus X and mister y, that is up to you. 189 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 1: Y'all chose to put your kids in private school because 190 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: you want what you want for them, and that is 191 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: none of our business. That also doesn't help when it 192 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: comes to just your overall question, which is like, we're 193 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: earning this much money, but we have this credit card debt. 194 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: So now you're wondering, how can I get some relief 195 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: not just from the credit card debt, but from the 196 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: fees that are associated with it. And I'm in a 197 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: very similar position right now, missus X high earning household 198 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: started to put more and more expenses on credit cards, 199 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: got a little too comfortable doing that, and then realize 200 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: how quickly that debt can start to accumulate just because 201 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: you're paying interest on it, and those interest charges add up. 202 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: It's like the beauty of compound saving when you put 203 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: money in a savings account and you start to earn 204 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: interest on it, and then the money that you earn 205 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: interest gets added in there, and then you get more interest. 206 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: Then you're earning money. You're earning interest on the interest 207 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: you saved, and it's just like a flywheel of savings. 208 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: Right But the same thing happens when it comes to 209 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: credit card debt. Okay, so it's very easy to see 210 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: how you can get overwhelmed. I'm just trying to like 211 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: validate that it's difficult. Right now, here's the uncomfortable truth 212 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: that I and my husband have had to face too, 213 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: and mostly me has. The other day, I was literally 214 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm telling you guys on this show, 215 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 1: I'm ready for this. I literally was in Target. It 216 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: was the day after Halloween. And when I tell you, 217 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: my buggy was stacked to the sailing was stuff because 218 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: they had their fifty percent off of all the Halloween stuff, 219 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: and those yellow clearance signs were up, and I was like, oh, 220 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: we need this for the kids for next Halloween, and 221 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: we have a Halloween block party, and I should start stockpiling, 222 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: you know, decor and plastic cups and disposable this and 223 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 1: that and decorations and all this like and goodie bags 224 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: and erasers and miniature bubbles and the shape of you know, 225 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: Dracula fangs and like all this nonsense. And not only 226 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: was the buggy stacked higher than me, I mean, like 227 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: I could not see I should maybe I'll post a 228 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: picture I could not see over the top of my 229 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: own frickin' Target cart y'all. 230 00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 2: And then. 231 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: Bring I look at my phone and there's an unidentified 232 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: number calling, and I'm like, oh, it's Paul An election campaign. 233 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: But then I hear the doo doo doo, which is 234 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: my calendar, saying, hey, bitch, you have an appointment with 235 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: your financial planner right now.

Oh my days. 246 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: I look. Once I realized who it was that call 247 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: that was calling, I'm not proud of myself. I sent 248 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: it to voicemail. Okay, I sent it to voicemail, and 249 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: I kept on going, and my heart's sort of starting 250 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: to race, and I'm navigating the store and I'm trying 251 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: to like get down the aisles and I'm peeking around 252 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: this giant, fucking like ten foot tall pumpkin playing an 253 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: air guitar lawn decoration that I just had to have 254 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: because I thought my son would think it'd be funny. 255 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: And I am trying and the skeletons, I'm not making 256 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: this up.

I started too sweat, and I 265 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: picked up that phone and I called him back. I 266 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: called him back, and I had one hand on my 267 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: cart and the other hand on the phone, and I'm 268 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: just standing near the checkout because I'm like, this guy 269 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: doesn't even know how diluted I've sort of become, not okay, 270 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: not diluted, but he doesn't even know how like I 271 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: have change. I have like tricked myself into thinking that 272 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: everything is fine and how I'm in such this like 273 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: spiral of overspending now and it's like it's really starting 274 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: to bury me. And now it's becoming it has become 275 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: an issue. But it was so humbling and so frankly 276 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: embarrassing and shame inducing. He can't even see me. We're 277 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: not on FaceTime, but just the fact that I am 278 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: talking to him and I have one hand on this 279 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: buggy full of Halloween shit that I do not need 280 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: and I'm about to put on my credit card. Like 281 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: the shame, my inner shame is so high at this point, 282 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: and I see the optics, like somebody snaps a picture 283 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: of me and puts it on the Internet with a 284 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: meme saying financial educator at Target spending beyond her means 285 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: on the phone with her financial planner to talk about 286 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: how to manage her credit card debt. Like I get it, 287 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: I get it. I can see it. And it's really Chris. 288 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: It's like I don't even want to say crazy, because 289 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: I I it's something that we all, like so many 290 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: of us, go through right at certain seasons in our life. 291 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm talking to this guy, I'm and he 292 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: has all of my accounts uploaded because at this point, 293 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: at least I have done the work to like get 294 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: all my accounts on the system, the platform so that 295 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,359 Speaker 1: he can see where stuff is and all that. And 296 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: I'm telling him that, okay, yeah, we have, you know, 297 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: this credit card debt and right now a lot of 298 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: it is most of it is on zero percent interest 299 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: to credit cards that those intro periods are going to 300 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: be expiring over the course of the next year in 301 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: different time periods. So but it's like it's gonna be fine. 302 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: I was just thinking, maybe we'll, you know, take out 303 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: a home equity line of credit, you know, just tap 304 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: into the equity in our house. And shouldn't we do that, 305 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: because you know, some banks they may pull back from 306 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: offering home equity loans because of the economy, because the 307 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: with it they did during the pandemic and past recessions, 308 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: they stop offering them so much. And so that means 309 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: it could just be smart, really just to take out 310 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: this whole equity line of credit just to have it 311 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: like as an emergency and also to pay off this 312 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: credit card debt. Like it seems to make sense, right, 313 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: And I wanted him to validate me. This poor guy, 314 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: by the way, this is our first session together, because 315 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: he came. I had like a free consultation through my 316 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: through my financial planning, my financial management platform. It's called empower. 317 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: Check it out if you want to. I don't get 318 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: paid by them. Maybe I ought to, but anyway, he said, 319 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: and I can tell he's like he's listening. He's like, 320 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: uh huh, uh huh. Well, here's the thing. If we 321 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: don't treat the underlying issue, which is that y'all are 322 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: spending more than you make, and it's in small bits. 323 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: It's not like any one huge spending spree has pushed 324 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: you so far over the edge. But for a you know, 325 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: extended period of time. Now, I've been I've been transparent 326 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: about how in twenty twenty three it was super hard 327 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: for me because I couldn't work, I had a baby, 328 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: I'm writing a book, I'm going through all this drama 329 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: with my dad being sick. I wasn't able to produce 330 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: the income that I needed. And now we're constantly like 331 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: trying to keep up with that, right, trying to build 332 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: back up. So that's an extended period of time. And 333 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: he's just like a homemack of the line of credit 334 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: won't fix it. And he wasn't this blunt but it 335 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: was pretty much what he was saying. The helock is 336 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: not going to fix it. It's just going to put 337 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: you in an even more vulnerable spot because now your 338 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: home is tied up in it. Now you could lose 339 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: your home if you can't afford to pay back the 340 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: helock if you draw, you know, put take a draw 341 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 1: off that line of credit. We've got to solve the 342 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: underlying issue of the overspending, and that is when we 343 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 1: can sort of move forward from there. And I when 344 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: I tell you, like, obviously that's the answer, Like I 345 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: know that, I know it very well. But it's like 346 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,439 Speaker 1: when you have the fact in front of you and 347 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: the logic and the reasoning is there, it's really hard. 348 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 1: It's you sort of need that wake up call. I 349 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,239 Speaker 1: think as a as a parent, because it is so 350 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: easy to justify, like so many decisions if it's for 351 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: the betterment of the kids. But if I'm really being 352 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: honest and I'm being like tough on myself, I would say, 353 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: what's really better for the kids is them Mommy and 354 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: Daddy are not putting them in financial jeopardy, and the 355 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: law putting ourselves, I mean in financial jeopardy in the 356 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: long run to sort of like for the betterment of 357 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: the kids. It sort of like puts all this blame 358 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: on the children's shoulders, Like, well, you really wanted that 359 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: fifteen dollars hot wheel monster truck, you know what I mean? 360 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: Like you really needed to go to Lego Land for 361 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: your birthday? You really? You know, that's not exactly fair. 362 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: I don't think it's fair at all to the kids. 363 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: So I'm not taking it back to you, missus X. 364 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that the answer is like take the 365 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: kids out of private school. Da da da da da. 366 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: But I do think you and your husband, just like 367 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: me and my husband, maybe we should be friends. Maybe 368 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: we should just all sit down together and just look 369 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: at the budget, just the bare bones of it all. 370 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: How much is coming in, how much is going to 371 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: be going out? And if we can't trim certain things 372 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: or we have non negotiables that we don't want to 373 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: get rid of, well then it's a wake up call. 374 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: It's like, so where's the extra money gonna come from? 375 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: And maybe you're like me, maybe you have windfalls that 376 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: you know are going to be coming. Maybe you guys 377 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: have an annual bonus that could be coming in January 378 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: February to help you chip away at some of that debt. 379 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: That was me in corporate, and honestly, having those windfalls 380 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: were a huge, like God send for me, knowing I'd 381 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: have an annual bonus or I could I could exercise 382 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: some of my stock options and then get a little 383 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: bit of a windfall and that could help me, you know, 384 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: keep some of this debt at bay. I'm still operating 385 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: a little bit the way that I was operating during 386 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 1: corporate when I would, you know, have a couple of 387 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: these like financial windfalls each year, and maybe you guys 388 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: do too, But let's get ahead of that and plan 389 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: for it so that we know, okay, when that bonus 390 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: comes through, when that tax refund comes, when the equity 391 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: vest we know immediately it's got to go toward these 392 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: debt payments.

Okay? 396 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 2: And then we need a budget.

This is really really 418 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: uncomfortable to talk about. I'm personally like, I don't think 419 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: I'm exactly sweating, but I did not anticipate telling y'all 420 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: about my whole target experience right now. But hey, this 421 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: was my show and I'm doing it. But missus ax, 422 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: I just I really see what you're going through. I 423 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: do think taking a loan to wipe out all your 424 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: credit card debt is an option. I think it can 425 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: be a smart option when it comes to consolidating a 426 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: fixed rate personal loan, a fixed rate debt. Consolidate consolidation 427 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: loan unsecured. That means that you don't have to put 428 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: your house up as collateral like you do with a 429 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 1: heelock or home equity loan. That can be a good 430 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: idea to wipe out the credit card debt and make 431 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: it less expensive for you to pay down. But as 432 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,479 Speaker 1: I was just told by this very kind man from 433 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: Empower the other day, my financial planner, it's just going 434 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: to accumulate again if we don't get to the root 435 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: cause and we don't really get that budget in place 436 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: and stop the gosh, stop the leaks and our own budget, 437 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: stop the money from seeping out the cracks and disappearing 438 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: and then leaving us with an even bigger problem, even 439 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: more cracks to our foundation because we're letting you know 440 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: that underlying issue not get solved. So living off of 441 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 1: one income to save for college? That was your second idea, 442 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: you said, is that the right thing to do? I 443 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: think that's an amazing idea. And it may be that 444 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: you know, that is a way that y'all can create 445 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: the space to put away money for your kids college. 446 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: But is there a plan can you actually live off 447 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: that one income? Can you actually pay your expenses and 448 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: all your household needs and all your savings and investings 449 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 1: and all your goals and still and avoid that credit 450 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: card debt? Because if you can't actually live off that 451 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: one income without credit card debt, it's going to accumulate again. 452 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: And that's just where I get a little bit of stress, 453 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: you know, because you've got four hundred k yearly now 454 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: and you still have credit card debts. So take away 455 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: you know, half that salary and what will happen? So 456 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,719 Speaker 1: that's the concern, missus X. Please follow up, and y'all, 457 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to keep keeping it one hundred because I 458 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 1: know I'm not alone. I think it was something like 459 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: over seventy percent. Brand Ambition listeners say that credit card 460 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: debt and overall debt is their biggest financial stressor right 461 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,239 Speaker 1: now and we are in it together.
