Did you ever think that it would 72 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: get his bee?

I'm more piercely an investor 82 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 2: on the chaseas platform, and I feel like every time 83 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 2: I do a money diaries like which are my favorite 84 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: episodes of the show, I'm like, oh, okay, it's not a 85 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: planted question. I'm always like do invest and they're like, oh, 86 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: I'm with Sharezeas, and I'm like, here we go. More 87 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 2: free plugs for shazas because everybody in the community is 88 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 2: just obsessed and I am too. But investing is exactly 89 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: what Shareseas is all about, and we are here today 90 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 2: to talk about that. And I feel like long term 91 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 2: investment is something we talk about a lot, but it 92 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: can be really scary. Like at the end of the day, 93 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 2: I think that we need to acknowledge that investing can 94 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 2: be really overwhelming. But it's also not about the numbers. 95 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 2: Investing is actually really emotional. In fact, I was talking 96 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: about you today. Literally, I was talking about you today. 97 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 2: I went to MCROB, which is a girls' school in Melbourne, 98 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 2: and I was talking about the importance of financial literacy 99 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 2: to a bunch of Grade tens, which is exactly what 100 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 2: I want to be doing. And I was talking about 101 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: how investing nowadays is so much more accessible, Like historically 102 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 2: I was so scared to invest because the minimum investment 103 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: amounts or like five hundred dollars. And don't get me wrong, 104 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,559 Speaker 2: a lot of people might go, be like five hundred dollars, 105 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,799 Speaker 2: that's not much for me. At that point in my life, 106 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 2: that was like the most amount of money I'd ever 107 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: had in my bank account. And I was saying to 108 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: these girls, like investing is not for the rich, like 109 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: there is this platform shares this you can invest with 110 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 2: as little as one cent. It is little. You're not 111 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 2: even old enough to invest yet, but when you are, 112 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: you're going to love this. And then I realized I 113 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 2: get to see Brook later, so that was very cool. 114 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: But it is such an emotional journey. It's literally your 115 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: hard earned cash, your dreams, and all of your I 116 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 2: guess future wrapped up in one which then feels overwhelming. 117 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 2: Whether you're saving for your first home that's a few 118 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 2: years away, or your kid's education, which I'm now thinking 119 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 2: about and that's really overwhelming, or building a like retirement 120 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 2: nest egg. Your investments are representative of I guess, all 121 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 2: your dreams and hopes and goals, and when you're asked 122 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 2: to make a plan for that overwhelming Brook. That's why 123 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: literally every market move can make me feel sick. I 124 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: am an ex financial advisor, as you know, and I 125 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 2: still log into my investing platform and if it is down, 126 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 2: like if I log into chairs EA's and see that 127 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 2: I've lost some money on the shed market, I still 128 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: get that twang in the bottom of my stomach. I'm 129 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 2: like oh, and then I'm like Victoria you're smarter than this, 130 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: but I experience it, so I have no doubt that 131 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 2: our community is. And I mean when my portfolio is up, 132 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I'm a big dog investor. Look at that, 133 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: look at that. But when it's down, it feels like, 134 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, what have I done? Have I like 135 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 2: on the absolute wrong thing. So, Brooke, in your experience 136 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 2: as an investor yourself, I'm assuming on Charez eas where 137 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 2: do you see this emotional rollercoaster getting people completely off track? 138 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, so investing money is emotional. You know, money, like 139 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 4: you said, creates opportunities in life or doesn't. You know, 140 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 4: We've got the beliefs we have around money from what 141 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 4: we've watched and the households when we're growing up, and 142 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 4: how how we feel about it is really tied to 143 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 4: a lot of emotions really, and when it comes to 144 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 4: an investing often there's a whole barrage of new emotions 145 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 4: in a way, like there's a lot of excitement thinking 146 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 4: about your future and it's exciting getting into investing and 147 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 4: feeling like, oh, you're taking control of your money or 148 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 4: you're doing something that's going to help future you. But 149 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 4: the other part, too is investing can be quite overwhelming. 150 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 4: There's hundreds of thousands options out there now, like you said, 151 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 4: there it used to be like a minimum of ten 152 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 4: thousand dollars needed. Now it's not. 153 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: You're literally changing it so that we can all have 154 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 2: the same opportunities. 155 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a core belief of you know, one 156 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 4: thing we just would not walk past is that we 157 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 4: had to make sure there was no minimum investment so 158 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 4: everybody could feel like they're an investor and also just 159 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 4: invest the way that you expect, Like, if you want 160 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 4: to put a certain amount of money into it, you can. 161 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 4: You don't have to have to calculate a share or 162 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 4: you know, like and have random scenes on that stuff. 163 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 2: But like, I love it because I just remember Baby 164 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 2: Victoria trying to invest for the first time, and it 165 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 2: was really overwhelming because I was a financial advisor, and 166 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 2: I feel like it's the story of like the plumber 167 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: always has a leaky type, right, So, like, as a 168 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: financial advisor, I knew what I should be doing, and 169 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: I knew what we were advising our clients to do. 170 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 2: But I didn't have ten million dollars like my clients. 171 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: So my clients had these beautiful well diversified portfolios of 172 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: like you know, ten to twelve direct shares. I couldn't 173 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 2: give myself instant diversification. I didn't have any cash brook 174 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 2: I was like five hundred dollars still too much. I 175 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: remember seeing like some managed funds that had minimum investments 176 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 2: of ten grand and they'd be like, must be nice, 177 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 2: Like that'll. 178 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 4: Never be me. 179 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: But now I can literally buy that same managed fund 180 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: on your platform for literally one cent and get that 181 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: same exposure, and like that to me is kind of wild. 182 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 2: And I have looked up managed funds that were previously 183 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 2: out of reach and like bought them on Chaes's just 184 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 2: cause like you can buy man Like, does it make 185 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 2: up most of my strategy? No, it absolutely does not. 186 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 2: Is it really fun to feel like I own that? Yes, 187 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: Like I'm a little shareholder in that. 188 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 5: Ha. 189 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: But you didn't see that coming, baby, Victoria. 190 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny when you say, like I had this 191 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 4: thing when we first started, there's this thing, and when 192 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 4: you're creating companies to your own dog food, like it's like, 193 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 4: when you're creating something, make sure that you're a real 194 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 4: mega user of it so you can see the areas 195 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 4: where it's not working. Well or it's working really well. 196 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 4: But I had this thing around empathy. So as we 197 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 4: rolled up more and more investment options, I have this 198 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 4: thing where I was like, oh, I need a bit 199 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 4: of everything nearly because I want to if somebody comes 200 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 4: up to me and starts talking about this investment, I 201 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 4: want to feel the empathy and know like the journey 202 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 4: that I've been on and now I have, you know, 203 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 4: simplified it a lot because it started to get a 204 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 4: bit extreme. 205 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 2: That's literally like if you showed me your platform and 206 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 2: you had something that I didn't have, a be like, oh, 207 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 2: she's real smart, maybe I should have that too, And 208 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 2: is there any logic to it? No, because I literally 209 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 2: know my stuff when it comes to investing, But like 210 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 2: that looks. 211 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 4: Cool, and what we both know is consistency pays off 212 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 4: over time, and time is the most value was spect 213 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 4: of money. I think when we started Cheeresy's we really 214 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 4: boilt it around that philosophy and we would do heaps 215 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 4: of content and education in terms of trying to counteract 216 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 4: what people call behavioral five. So like the loss of version, 217 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 4: feeling like off it goes down that you've lost, but 218 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 4: actually you don't lock in a loss until you decide 219 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 4: to sell, and I need to. 220 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 2: Be reminded of that. It's crazy. We talk about it 221 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 2: a lot obviously at She's on the Money. It's only 222 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 2: a loss if you're choosing to take it. Yeah, I 223 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 2: don't choose that right now, Like I'm walking away from 224 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 2: that brook. We talk a lot about strategy at Cheese 225 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 2: on the Money and just buying random shares not a 226 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 2: good strategy. Orbit it can be fun and literally when 227 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 2: they're one scent, like you can, but I want to 228 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,599 Speaker 2: know more about yours, Like, tell me about your strategy. 229 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 2: How do you keep your emotions in check when you're investing? 230 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 2: Because I feel like you and I are both just 231 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 2: inherently emotional people. I don't want to lose something, but 232 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 2: like what happens when you see that you maybe are 233 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 2: a little bit down? 234 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, share, So the key thing is, Yeah, investing is 235 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 4: for the long term. And I think the key strategy 236 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 4: that we really designed Cheeses for early on too was 237 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 4: dollar cost everaging, So investing every pay day and thatnce 238 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 4: you can't afford and it builds over time. As you know, 239 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 4: there's massive power in compound interest, in compounding returns, and 240 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 4: literally that time just pays off. So I invest like 241 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 4: that for my children and I never do anything else. 242 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 4: It's automatically every week money going into the investment portfolios, 243 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 4: and they consistently upperform me because because I do majority 244 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 4: dollar cost averaging. But there's things where I'm just like, oh, 245 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 4: I actually want to know what that's like, you know, 246 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 4: and I will invest a little bit. But the important 247 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 4: thing for me though, and the way that I manage 248 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 4: my emotions is I don't take big bets, like I 249 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 4: make sure that I'm building over time, I'm not over 250 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 4: exposed in one area and that I'm just sticking to 251 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 4: a habit and in anything else on top is something 252 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 4: where I'm willing to take a bit more risk potentially 253 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 4: more return, but I know that that consistency is going 254 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 4: to work in the long run, no matter the peaks 255 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 4: and flows of the market at the time. 256 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like everyone's always surprised when I talk 257 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 2: about my investment strategy because I think that there's this 258 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: expectation that you know, if I gave you the log 259 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 2: into my shares these platform, you'd probably see this really 260 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,239 Speaker 2: comprehensive list of six million different options. And like Victoria's 261 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 2: so smart and like knows what to pick, and you'd 262 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 2: actually log in, you'd see some really weird stock picks. 263 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: You'd be like, why has she got this? And I 264 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 2: can share them with you later because we don't make 265 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 2: recommendations on the podcast. But then a majority of my 266 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 2: portfolio is split among two ETFs. Yeah, and I think 267 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 2: people are always like, wait, what, like you just invest 268 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 2: in ETFs, and I'm like yes, because I would love 269 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 2: to think that I'm intelligent, but I am not smarter 270 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 2: than the people that pull together ets. I've got one International, 271 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 2: I've got one Australian, and that is currently where most 272 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 2: of my wealth sits. And then I have my little satellite. 273 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 2: It's that core satellite approach where I've got those satellite 274 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 2: ones because brook it's fun. Like there's this like biopharmaceutical 275 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: company that I've been following since twenty twenty is not 276 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 2: done well. 277 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 4: This is why you. 278 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 2: Shouldn't recommend Yeah, exactly exactly. But I got this biofarmer 279 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 2: company and would I recommend it? 280 00:12:58,880 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: No? 281 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 2: But I put money in it and I'm not going 282 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 2: to pull it out at a loss. I don't need 283 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 2: that money right now, but I look at it and 284 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 2: I just go I'm glad that I didn't make that 285 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 2: recommendation because that was a punt, and I'm so glad. 286 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 2: I just have that core portfolio that every month I 287 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: just add two and it kind of tracks along, and 288 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 2: I know future me is going to be okay, but 289 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 2: I'm not always chasing Okay, Well, what's the next thing 290 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 2: I should invest in to create wealth? Like I'm going 291 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 2: to be screwed if I don't. Yeah, I know, I'm fine, 292 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 2: but I do still like to have a little bit 293 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 2: of fun. 294 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, and we're in the industry, right, so of course, 295 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 4: like we're a bit more tuned in some ways to 296 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 4: what you know. 297 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 2: I thought I was a genius. I'll talk to you 298 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 2: about this off air, but I read all of their 299 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 2: annual reports. I did a deep dive into who their 300 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 2: CEO was, where he used to work. The fact that 301 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 2: this biopharmaceutical company deals with this particular health condition and 302 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 2: the CEO has it like he is using their treatment. 303 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 2: I'm just like, I've cracked. Yeah, it's gone down. I 304 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 2: think I bought in it like a dollar thirteen per 305 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 2: share and it's like a twenty six cents or something. 306 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 2: So is that a good share for you to buy. No, 307 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 2: you might be though. 308 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 4: When we studied finance and when we were getting access 309 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 4: to this world, I remember all of my research saying 310 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 4: in all of the academic papers saying that buying and 311 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 4: holding up performs that buys us out buy and women 312 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 4: typically are way better at investing and taking a long 313 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 4: term approach with it. And we know that that strategy 314 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 4: pays off significantly more over time than somebody who's are 315 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 4: actively trading. And so I think that that hopefully helps 316 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 4: relieve some of that comfort when you've got those feelings 317 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 4: around haven't made the right choice or you know it's 318 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 4: are you happy with the investments you've made, are you 319 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 4: diversified enough to wither storms? And is it money that 320 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 4: you're happy to invest in the long term? Knowing that 321 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 4: markets will go up and down, but traditionally over time 322 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 4: they are trending up in the long term, do you. 323 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 2: Put some blinkers on, like are you looking at what 324 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 2: other people are doing? Are you looking at what your 325 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 2: investors are doing? I feel like blinkers for me are 326 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 2: really helpful, but other people using their strategy. 327 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, so a lot of people on Cheesy's aort to 328 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 4: invest that to invest and abording their portfolio over time. 329 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 4: That's the vast majority. I don't get caught up in 330 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 4: the hypeie things. I just know that I feel like 331 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 4: it's all over social media. 332 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, have you seen the most recent stuff about the 333 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 2: day trading and how that's going to create ultimate wealth? 334 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: Oh? 335 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 2: It kills me because you see these posts from people 336 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 2: who genuinely think that they're helping, they have no finance background, 337 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: and then you see people commenting like, oh my gosh, yes, 338 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 2: please tell me more. I'd love to create wealth, and 339 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 2: you just go, this is a scam. Like, yes, some 340 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: people can create money in day trading, but it is 341 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 2: not a long term solution. In fact, most people who 342 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 2: day trade lose more money than they make. And you 343 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 2: just go, if you're so worried, go down a very 344 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 2: classic pathway. Like the best type of investments I've seen 345 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 2: over my career have been the most boring ones. 346 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 4: Yeah. 347 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 2: Like I remember one client brook, I inherited them from 348 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 2: another financial advisor who'd retired, and they had BHP shares, 349 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 2: and like that could be a little bit topical because OBVIOUSLYHP, 350 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 2: like it's a fossil fuel company and a lot of 351 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 2: people might not agree with that, and the person I 352 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 2: was advising was actually morally not okay with it. I mean, 353 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 2: there's a bigger conversation. He'd inherited them from his grandfather, 354 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: but when we looked at it, it was just this tried, 355 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 2: true blue chip stock that had paid off over time, 356 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 2: and the way that he held them was really complicated 357 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 2: for me as a financial advisor because they'd bought them 358 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 2: when you bought them in British pounds, like way back 359 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 2: when they had originally listed, and you could see from 360 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 2: that period of time like how much it had grown, 361 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 2: how many dividends it had brought in, and it was 362 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: a bigger conversation, but it was just incredible to see 363 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 2: such a long term portfolio and how it had provided 364 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 2: wealth for this family. And it was like, this is genius. 365 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 2: But I can still do it today because these companies 366 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 2: are still growing, like these options are still on the table, 367 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 2: and I just remember thinking, yeah, maybe I do need 368 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 2: to invest a little bit more. After seeing that, it 369 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: wasn't impressed that I had to do the currency conversion 370 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 2: from way back in the day though. That was a 371 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 2: little bit of a meth around, but it was fun nonetheless. 372 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 4: And it's interesting the emotional side of that legacy left too, 373 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 4: and going, well, this is what my grandparents believed in. Yeah, 374 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 4: you know, should I continue because it's their essets that 375 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 4: I'm getting on, or should I got my way? And 376 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 4: I think that's another interesting element. You know, there's a 377 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 4: lot of emotion when it's passed down. 378 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 2: And I think it's important to remember that your values 379 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 2: can control how you invest. I mean, that's what that 380 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 2: conversation was about. Like, the BHP shares was something that 381 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 2: my client was not that happy with because he was like, 382 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 2: that's not ethical. I don't want to have my wealth 383 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 2: being generated by this company. But to dispose of those 384 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 2: shares after such a significant time holding them, the capital 385 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 2: gains tax was astronomical, and so it just didn't make 386 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 2: sense to sell an asset because you would have to 387 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 2: pay so much in tax. But what strategy can we 388 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 2: implement to counteract that? And we ultimately ended up having, 389 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,719 Speaker 2: you know, any new acquisitions were all very ethical, and 390 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 2: he started investing some of the money he was making 391 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 2: from BHP into environmental charities which were then working against BHP, 392 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 2: which was quite funny because it was like, eh, swighing 393 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 2: it up, and you feel good about this. We've got 394 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: a strategy, but everyone's strategy is going to be different, right, Like, 395 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, we have been chatting 396 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 2: for a while and I could talk underwater with a 397 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 2: mouthful of marbles about investing, and I know that you 398 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 2: could too. We've covered why investing can feel a bit 399 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 2: like an emotional rollercoaster and how it can completely derail. 400 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 2: Let's be honest, even the best laid plans, like you 401 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 2: just get overly emotional and then you're like, I should 402 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 2: sell brook. One of the things that we say on 403 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 2: this podcast all the time is when in doubt, zoom out, 404 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,239 Speaker 2: Like when in doubt, look at the bigger picture, like 405 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 2: it could feel trash. I was looking at a chart 406 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 2: this morning and one of my favorite resources. Sorry it's 407 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 2: not the Chesy's website, but you can replicate this or 408 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 2: create your own version for me. It is the Vanguard 409 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 2: Interactive Index Chart. Have you seen that? Adore it? So 410 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 2: it's on their website and you can kind of put 411 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 2: in your own dates and your own asset classes and 412 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 2: shows how it would perform over time and historicals and 413 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 2: if you put in any thirty year period, you can 414 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 2: see that long term investors have never lost so any 415 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 2: thirty year period. But then you know, if I put 416 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 2: in my birthday, which was the thirtieth of June nineteen 417 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 2: ninety one, great date for a finance girly, literally right, 418 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 2: I put that in, And over that period of time, 419 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 2: you can see the drop in the share market when 420 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 2: the global financial crisis happened. And we know that that 421 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 2: is spoken about. You know, two thousand and eight was 422 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 2: obviously horrific. People lost their homes, people lost their money, 423 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 2: like that's the worst thing ever. You might even listen 424 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 2: to your parents' generation. They're like that ruined us, that 425 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 2: you know, ruined my friend. But then when you zoom out, 426 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 2: that's actually just now a blip in their performance chart, 427 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 2: like our economy has recovered and then some and when 428 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 2: you look back, obviously there was some really big flaws 429 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 2: in the American financial system for that to happen. But 430 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 2: the and you know that a lot of people during 431 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 2: that period of time lost a lot of money because 432 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 2: of their emotions. It wasn't because they were poorly invested. 433 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 2: It was because they saw all of this housing stuff 434 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 2: happen and they started to freak out. And because the 435 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 2: market was reflective of other people's poor decisions. Even really 436 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 2: good performing stocks started to dip because market sentient was that, oh, 437 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 2: this is scary, So good quality shares were dropping, and 438 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 2: those people that owned those good quality shares were freaking 439 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 2: out and they were like, oh my gosh, Brook, I'm 440 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 2: just going to sell today because I'm going to put 441 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 2: all in my savings account and then I will feel secure. 442 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 2: But you can see this chart and how it completely 443 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 2: rebounds and some more so, a lot of people that 444 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 2: lost a lot of money during the global financial crisis 445 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 2: weren't actually impacted, but they were scared. And I think 446 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 2: that that's a really good story to tell. To go, well, 447 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 2: you need to zoom out and have a look at 448 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 2: the bigger picture, Like is this just another situation where 449 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 2: so many people are terrified. So many people are so 450 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 2: scared to lose their wealth, which makes sense, like we 451 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 2: do have to do some education around this, But they 452 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 2: actually shot themselves in the foot by transferring their wealth 453 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,719 Speaker 2: that was going to recover into cash which then hasn't 454 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 2: really performed. 455 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's an interesting important part that people 456 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 4: should understand. It's like the reason markets move is purely 457 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 4: because of our and our motions, you know, it's actually 458 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 4: not mad some information and you're well, now do I 459 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 4: believe in this company or the fun? 460 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 3: Now? 461 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 4: Yes? 462 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: No? 463 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 4: And your buy sale. And I think there's obviously the 464 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,239 Speaker 4: big companies at play and institutions, but as individuals too, 465 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 4: it's like, yeah, zoom out, do we believe in this 466 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 4: investment we're making in the long term? Do we believe 467 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 4: in this fun, this country whatever it might be where 468 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 4: you're exposed all these companies. You know, we are actually 469 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 4: typically good at just buying and holding and not being 470 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 4: to a motive. And that was a lot of the 471 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 4: like crap would get at the start of CHESI is 472 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 4: to be honest, is that people don't know what to do, 473 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 4: and you know they've got to be sophistcurated. 474 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,479 Speaker 2: It's like, well, now you seven people that know what 475 00:21:59,600 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 2: to do. 476 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 4: It's oposticated when the majority of their mar which. 477 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 2: Is you know like that because Brook you are female. Jeez, Louise, Yeah, 478 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 2: we never get to ten thousand customers and all that 479 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 2: sort of jebs. I mean, you don't have ten thousand. 480 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 2: We've got seven hundred two thousand growing. Oh, I love it.

Do you know 491 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 2: there's nothing worse and you've probably done it because like 492 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 2: I feel like you are a ted talk early, Like 493 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 2: you're the same as me. Like I love a motivational talk. 494 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 2: I love watching other people speak, love going to a conference. 495 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 2: There is nothing worse than walking out of a conference 496 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 2: being like, I'm so motivated, she was so great. I 497 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 2: don't know what to do, Like, we need to give 498 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 2: people the tips and tricks that they can implement to 499 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 2: actually get stuff done. I mean you're clearly doing it, 500 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 2: because not only are you empowering people to invest, you're like, 501 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 2: here's the actual investment platform, like you lead a horse 502 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 2: to Yeah, yeah, I like it. I like it Picasso. 503 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 2: So now it's super easy to say, you know, we 504 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 2: need to be investing for long term. We're talking about 505 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 2: that before, but let's be really real, it's tough to 506 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 2: stay motivated. Like you can walk out of the motivational presentation, 507 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 2: you can listen to the podcast, you can be like 508 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 2: investing Brook it's for me, yeah, And then life gets 509 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 2: in the way and you just feel like the payoff 510 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 2: is so far down the road. What's it going to 511 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 2: take to compound nicely? Like seven to ten years? 512 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 4: Like that just. 513 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 2: Feels so far off. But how did you keep yourself 514 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 2: pushing forward when you first started your investing journey and 515 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 2: what helped you stay engaged and don't lose any focus 516 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 2: even when progress sometimes feels slow and like I checked 517 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 2: it yesterday and I've earned nothing. 518 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 4: Honestly, the best thing to keep me on track is automation. 519 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 4: Like that's literally about investing all the time. 520 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 2: Why not I do, Welcome to the money. It's not 521 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 2: that sexy though, No, no, no, not everybody you. 522 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 4: Know and for most people too. It's just like the 523 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 4: best way of managing money is having really good habits, essentially, 524 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 4: and for me, it's about automation. So I have my 525 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 4: autumn best set up if I was here in Australia, 526 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 4: I'd be definitely doing roundups. We don't have that in 527 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 4: New Zealand yet. But in New. 528 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 2: Zealand you also have investing for kids, and we don't 529 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 2: have that. Exactly is we could do a little bit 530 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 2: of a swat seat, let them have roundups and they 531 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 2: can let us have investing for kids. 532 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 4: That's exactly what we're working on the structure on at 533 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 4: the moment. Yeah, and so just automatic investing, because I 534 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 4: really want to make sure we're giving back because when 535 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 4: you're investing, you're helping, you know, companies create jobs and 536 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 4: for all this vision they have for the world that 537 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 4: you want to have, you know, come to life. And 538 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 4: also on funds too, you know. And so I think 539 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 4: their automation for me is the biggest way that just 540 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 4: makes me relax. I'm like, well, I know I'm putting 541 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 4: a certain amount of where I'm happy to every payday, 542 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 4: and that's fine. 543 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 2: You know. 544 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 4: Yes, I might dabble on the side and do the 545 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 4: satellite approach as we're talking about before, but that is 546 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 4: the consistency and that is why I just sleep easy. 547 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 2: And I think that's why I'm so clear about the 548 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 2: approach I take because I don't want people hearing me go, 549 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, yeah, I did this research into this 550 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 2: like farmer company or whatever. I'm thinking that that's the 551 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 2: investing journey. It's not like my portfolio is so boring. 552 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 2: But then I do some fun things and the fun 553 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 2: things happen, not because you have to do that, but 554 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 2: because Brookware on cheese on the money. I'm obsessed with 555 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 2: the sher market. I love chatting about it, I love 556 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 2: seeing what's going on. I really love good companies. Yeah people, 557 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 2: and I really love reading an annual report. But that's 558 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 2: not for everybody. And that's why I I guess Chazy's exists. 559 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 2: And I feel like I'm a walking like billboard for 560 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 2: Chasy's because whenever people are like, so what should I do, 561 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 2: I'm like, well, sit down, so have you heard of Chazy? Literally, 562 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 2: because I'm just like, not everybody wants to be as technical, 563 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 2: and you can be, but sometimes you just want the 564 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 2: spark notes version. I want you to tell me what 565 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 2: does this company do, how does it do it? Where 566 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,719 Speaker 2: can I find it? You know, what are the spark 567 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 2: notes of this? And that's what the Chasi's platform does. 568 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 2: And then all of this other stuff I'm doing in 569 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 2: the background. I guess a good question that I have 570 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 2: for you. I mean, I think it's good because it's 571 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 2: my question. It's going to be great. You're a CEO. 572 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 2: That's pretty big dog. Are you investing differently now that 573 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 2: you're a CEO than when you were just a salary 574 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 2: and wage earning employee. Is there like some kind of 575 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 2: like I'm cracking the code because now I have lots 576 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 2: of money coming in? Or am I cracking the code 577 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 2: because now I have a you know, really fancy career. 578 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 2: I feel like people seem to think that because you 579 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: have a very fancy job title, your investment portfolio must 580 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 2: be oodle's more complicated. 581 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 4: I would say it's changed more from being a founder 582 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 4: and going through the process of starting a company that 583 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 4: then I'm more exposed to other startups and things like 584 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 4: that that I want to, you know, in a small 585 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 4: way with a group of friends, we are trying to 586 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 4: get more female shareholders and companies. We're going to talk 587 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 4: about this offer. Honestly, I wanted to invest. I looked 588 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 4: at platforms in New Zealand, but my first investments were 589 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 4: through staff share scheme, so zero I got shares from 590 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 4: working there and that was my first actual ownership of 591 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 4: a share And so it wasn't till Chares Is that 592 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 4: I got to start investing and then we got to 593 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 4: create it the way that we But that's really cool, Yeah, 594 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 4: but I was so ashamed that it wasn't there when 595 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 4: we were younger. But I'm just so stoked it. 596 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 2: But it wasn't as accessible. 597 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 4: I mean, I did the same calculations you did, and 598 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 4: I was just like, the cost of the transaction wasn't 599 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 4: going to be worth the amount. 600 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 2: Of money Anchorage was astronomical, Like, there's no way that 601 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 2: when I started, I could have afforded to invest in 602 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 2: the way that we recommend now, right, Like you spoke 603 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 2: before about dolar cost averaging. For those of you who 604 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 2: are like, oh my gosh, like I have not listened 605 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 2: to enough Sheese on the money. That's essentially where you 606 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 2: invest consistently and regularly, so that even if it's a 607 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 2: good time in the market, you're investing. When it's a 608 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 2: bad time in the market, you're investing, so that on 609 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 2: average we can get access to all of the best 610 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 2: days in the market. Whereas if I could time the 611 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 2: market brook I'd be so rich so would you like, 612 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 2: we wouldn't even have to have investing platforms because we 613 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 2: would be Warren Buffett. But we're not. Nobody can time 614 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 2: the market, and the second best thing to timing the 615 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 2: market is time in the market. So dolar cost averaging 616 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 2: is literally making sure that you're investing consistently so that 617 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 2: you know, if the market goes down, you get the 618 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 2: little discount. If it's up, it's not so worrying because 619 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 2: last month you got the discount and all averages out. 620 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 2: But when I started my journey, that wasn't an option. 621 00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 2: I had to like get my money together. I worked 622 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 2: out out what brokerage was going to cost, and it 623 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 2: was going to be way too astronomical to do dollar 624 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 2: cost averaging, and so then I had this additional stress 625 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 2: of working out, well I can only afford to basically invest. 626 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 2: I think it was like four times a year because 627 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 2: of the amount of money I was investing, and I'm like, 628 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 2: when's the best time? And then I get analysis paralysis. 629 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 2: I remember one year being like I haven't invested at 630 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 2: all because like I just couldn't find a time and 631 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 2: dumping all my money in. And then something happened and 632 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 2: I was like great, Like I didn't get that control. 633 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 2: The idea that you can just do this for so 634 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 2: cheap and so easy now to me is kind of 635 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 2: wild brook. We've covered a lot today, from I guess 636 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 2: the highs of market gains to the loads of like 637 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 2: the nerve wracking dips. I still get that pit in 638 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 2: the bottom of my stomach. But here are the golden rules. 639 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 2: So keep your cool when in doubt, throom out, stay 640 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 2: focused on the long term game, and let compound interest 641 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 2: do what it does best, and that's making your money 642 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 2: make even more money. 643 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 4: Like I love that saying. It's like you can't work 644 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 4: twenty four seven, but your money can. And it's like 645 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 4: that's what happens. Your money starts earning money, that creates money, 646 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 4: and it's incredible. Over time, you've typically compounded more money. 647 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 4: Your money's made more money than you ever started putting 648 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 4: in or even put in. I wish I could show 649 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 4: that graf visually right now, but it's so important, like 650 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 4: I think, for people to understand. 651 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 2: So sorry, no, no, no, no, I love it. In 652 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 2: the presentation that I did this morning, I was talking 653 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 2: to the group of girls and I was so excited 654 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 2: about it, and I was like, would anyone say no 655 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 2: to a million dollars of free money? And they're all 656 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 2: like no, obviously, because like we're not crazy, Like that's fine. 657 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 2: But I was like, if you invest every single month 658 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 2: for your entire career, five hundred dollars each and every 659 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 2: single month, whether that is in your Keywi saver or 660 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 2: it is in your superannuation, like, or you just want 661 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 2: to do it externally, five hundred dollars every single month 662 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 2: over that period of time, that becomes two hundred and 663 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 2: forty thousand dollars. And they're all like, oh, that's a 664 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 2: lot of money, and I'm like, yeah, I know, but 665 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 2: that's just if you saved it. If you invested it 666 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 2: with an average rate of return of seven and a 667 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 2: half percent, which we know it's not it's more than that, 668 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 2: but we like to be conservative, that becomes one point 669 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 2: two to five million dollars. So I'm telling you that 670 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 2: if you invested instead of saved that same amount of money, 671 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 2: you could have a million dollars for free just by waiting. 672 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 2: I love money. I want a million dollars for free, 673 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 2: brook And I guess that's why to me it's so powerful, 674 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 2: because that's what gives women in particular power. And I've 675 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 2: never met anyone who's like, oh, yeah, when women get 676 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 2: financially literate, world's a worst place. Like every time a 677 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 2: woman becomes more financially literate, our entire world becomes a 678 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 2: better place. Women help women. I'm seeing it literally in you. 679 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 2: You're like, oh my gosh, now that I am a CEO, 680 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 2: I have the funds to get together with my friends 681 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 2: and help other women get into business or get them funded, 682 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 2: Like this is happening around the world. Isn't that cool 683 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 2: that you get to not only be a part of 684 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 2: it in that aspect, but your investing platform is going 685 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 2: to create these women into millionaires. 686 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 4: I love that saying a rising time floats all boats, 687 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 4: you know, And I think the there's so much more 688 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 4: to do to empower more people to have more excess 689 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 4: to opportunities.
