I'm very excited. 27 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 2: Oh I'm so excited. But I think my favorite thing 28 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 2: ever is like I get dms all the time and 29 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: they're like, hey, so I just listened to Daisy's episode 30 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 2: and I'm like, that was ages ago. If you've got 31 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: her email, I'd love to talk to her. This is 32 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: the best thing ever this time round, though, Daisy, we're 33 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: mixing it up. Instead of just talking about financial advisors 34 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: in general and what they do and how they do it, 35 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 2: I've actually decided to turn the tables and we have 36 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: asked you guys to send in a heap of your 37 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: biggest money questions, and there were some good ones and 38 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 2: you get to answer them. I feel like we've got 39 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: an ex financial advisor and a financial advisor just answering 40 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: people's dirty dms. Gonna be great now. I wanted to 41 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 2: start by saying that we had heaps of questions come 42 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: through about what it's actually like to see a financial advisor, 43 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 2: like how to choose the right one, what happens in 44 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 2: the first meeting, and how much it costs, and if 45 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 2: that's something that you are currently wondering. I actually recommend 46 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 2: going back to our previous episode with Daisy because it's 47 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 2: basically a step by step guide of exactly what to expect, 48 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: and I've linked it in the show notes so that 49 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: you're able to check it out. But that was a 50 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: good one. That was our first one we tested the 51 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: waters together. Yeah, but let's dive straight into I guess 52 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: the proper questions, Daisy. Our first question is from a 53 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 2: community member who's going to see a financial advisor and 54 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 2: thinking about paying for it from their superannuation. A lot 55 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 2: of people don't know that you can actually do this, 56 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 2: so can you explain I guess how that works and 57 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: whether it's something that you would actually recommend as a 58 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 2: financial advisor. 59 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely so. Most super funds in the market will 60 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 4: allow us to charge your fee. Some definitely don't, but 61 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 4: most to do in the market. I suppose there's a 62 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 4: few reasons as to why we would recommend that you 63 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 4: do charge through super one of them is that you 64 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 4: do get a fifteen percent tax reduction through the SUPERFI 65 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 4: very sexy, yep. So it makes it fifteen percent cheaper 66 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 4: for you. 67 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: It's like a discount code, but you just have to 68 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 2: use you Super. 69 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 4: And then Yeah, for a lot of our clients that 70 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 4: we see, it means that there's more money that they 71 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 4: have to invest, pay off debt, keep in cash for 72 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 4: a house deposit. But I suppose one of the big 73 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 4: caveates is that we can't charge everything through Super. We 74 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 4: have to meet what's called a sole purpose test. So 75 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 4: that just means that we have to charge a percentage 76 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 4: through Super of the percentage of advice that we're providing 77 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 4: around your super fund. 78 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't know if you do this, but 79 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: all the way back in the day when I used 80 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 2: to be a financial advisor, sometimes as a part of 81 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: our strategy, we would recommend that clients made an additional 82 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: contribution to their super to pay for their advice because 83 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: at tax time they get a deduction on it. So 84 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: we're not just talking about using I guess your super 85 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: fund savings or your super fund investments to pay We're 86 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 2: talking about using that as a tool to pay and 87 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 2: get a refund. But then also if you don't have 88 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 2: the cash for financial advice but you like really need it, 89 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: that's also an option. 90 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent. And there's definitely talks at the 91 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 4: moment around making our fees tax seductible personally, so that 92 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 4: will definitely change kind of how we propose it to clients. 93 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: So sexy, it would be life changing, Like go see 94 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 2: an accountant, tax deductible, go see a financial advisor. We 95 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 2: literally can't let you claim your statement of advice on 96 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: tax at the moment, and that makes no sense. Like 97 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: at a deeper level, the government is benefiting when people 98 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 2: are individually taking care of their own retirement. Yeah, why 99 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 2: wouldn't you make that more attractive for us? 100 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's just really strange how there's different tax 101 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 4: laws with super compared to personally around this, So like 102 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 4: the super funck can claim the tax deduction, but where 103 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 4: you can't personally. Doesn't really make a heap of sense. 104 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 4: But hopefully they. 105 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 2: We don't make the rules. We're just playing within the 106 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: rules and we're helping you understand them. So next one, 107 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: I've got one of our community members shared how she 108 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 2: saw two different financial advisors and then got two completely 109 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 2: different sets of advice from each of them, which is 110 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 2: obviously relatively confusing. What do you think about that? And 111 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: how can someone tell which advice to follow? And I 112 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 2: would say, more importantly, how do you know who financial 113 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: advisor is even good? 114 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 4: We definitely see people that come to us who are 115 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 4: seen a financial advisor before, and maybe our advice is different. 116 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 4: A lot of it lands on kind of the advisor's philosophy. 117 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 4: Some maybe more pro property, some maybe more pro the 118 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 4: share market. But I suppose what I recommend for people 119 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 4: is that they try and find a financial advisor that 120 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 4: deals with people that are in kind of their similar situations. 121 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 4: So I wouldn't recommend a twenty eight year old single 122 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 4: female go see a pre retire advisor, Like you want 123 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 4: to be dealing with somebody that deals in your realm 124 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,239 Speaker 4: and is used to providing advice in your area. 125 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: I think that's why you're so popular with our community, Daisy. 126 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 4: And then yeah, I suppose, like how you know an 127 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 4: advice is good? I mean, there's plenty of different websites 128 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 4: where there's advisor ratings on there. 129 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 2: Just ask me, are too? 130 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 4: And that's what I saying, Go the she's on the 131 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 4: money community, and yeah, Google reviews things like that, and 132 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 4: I suppose a lot of advisors do provide that free 133 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 4: of charge initial meeting and it's just really like you 134 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 4: get a vibe check pretty quickly. 135 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: But for that. 136 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 4: Community member that's received kind of contradicting advice, it will 137 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 4: definitely be kind of what feels better in your gut 138 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 4: as to which one you would go with. I mean, 139 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 4: we have a best interest duty that we need to 140 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 4: provide to our clients. I wouldn't say necessarily one's right, 141 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 4: one's wrong. 142 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say this sounds relatively strange because 143 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 2: financial advice, we know isn't cheap, and to get two 144 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 2: pieces of a advice that's a relatively expensive task. Like 145 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 2: I might hold on, what are you doing? But I 146 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: would say, and I love saying on the podcast when 147 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: in doubt, zoom out, but like, let's look at the 148 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: bigger picture. It might be completely different like asset recommendations, 149 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 2: but like where are you going to land in the future, 150 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: Like what's the big picture here as opposed to what 151 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 2: is the like short term picture because you might go, 152 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I don't have enough information here. But 153 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 2: like this particular advisor suggested property and direct shares, and 154 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 2: this other one said, oh more, you know ETF based portfolio. 155 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: There's actually not a right or wrong. There's what that 156 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: advisor is more comfortable with. And like, if I go 157 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: back to when I was a financial advisor, I dealt 158 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 2: a lot with direct shares, So like I would construct 159 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: portfolios for clients made of eight to twelve, I would 160 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 2: say basic shares that we had constructed and spoken about. 161 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: But then I would have girlfriends who were also financial 162 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 2: advisors and they're like, oh my gosh, Victoria, I know, 163 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,679 Speaker 2: absolutely not, I just do ETFs or you know, another 164 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 2: financial advice is like, oh my god, no, Like I 165 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 2: work for a financial advice firm that also has buyers agents, 166 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 2: and like we do a lot of property. Like that 167 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: doesn't mean that you're worse off from any We all 168 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: just have different methodologies and honestly interests. Like I loved 169 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: that share side of it took me longer, but it 170 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 2: was like something that I was passionate about. So I 171 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 2: think it's important to remember that it doesn't mean it's 172 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 2: wrong one hundred percent. 173 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, And as long as they've met your goals, explain 174 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 4: the advice to you then yeah, I think you really 175 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 4: just go with your guart there. 176 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 2: All right, we have a lot of questions from our 177 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 2: community about lump sums and you know, choosing between I 178 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 2: guess two different financial options like do I pay off 179 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 2: my HEX or do I start investing? Or do I 180 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 2: put extra money into my mortgage or my superannuation? Or 181 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: do I start saving for a house Daisy, or should 182 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 2: I just you know, go and buy an ETF What 183 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 2: does that look like? These decisions, I would say, are 184 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 2: not one size fits all. So how do you actually 185 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 2: work out what the hell is best for you? 186 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 4: Yeah? So I think a lot of it comes down 187 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 4: to your goals and your time frames as well as 188 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 4: kind of where you're at in life. So in terms 189 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 4: of paying off your help debt compared to investing, I 190 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 4: mean with the changes with help indexing at CPI or 191 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 4: wage growth compared to investing in the market, Like investing 192 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 4: in the market historically is done seven to ten percent, 193 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 4: whereas putting a lumpsom off your HEX could be two 194 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 4: to three percent. But then I suppose if you're looking 195 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,719 Speaker 4: at buying your house, like you may need to pay 196 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 4: off some of your help debt. Hopefully again that changes 197 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 4: with what the government's proposing. But like that may be 198 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 4: a consideration that we take into overall goals in terms 199 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 4: of kind of putting money in SUPER compared to paying 200 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 4: it off your mortgage. That could depend a lot on 201 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 4: where you're at with your life stage. So if you're 202 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 4: getting closer to retirement age, closer to when you can 203 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 4: access your SUPER, it may make a lot more sense 204 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 4: to put money into SUPER, and then it's in a 205 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 4: more tax effective environment. Whereas if you're planning on starting 206 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 4: a family and need to kind of pay down your 207 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 4: home mortgage or pay off some of your debt quicker, 208 00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 4: then it might make more sense to put it into debt. 209 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 4: So there's not really a one size fits old. 210 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: There, and it's all about like strategy as well. 211 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,599 Speaker 4: It all links back to your goals and where you 212 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 4: want to be, what you want to be doing, and 213 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 4: also your time frames. Because if you came to me 214 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 4: and said, hey, Daisy, I want to buy a house 215 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 4: in eighteen months, I'm going to chuck all my money 216 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 4: in the share market for my. 217 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: Deposit, terrible idea. 218 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 4: Bye, Yeah, don't do that. The volatility that comes with 219 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 4: that just isn't worth it. And maybe SUPER boring, but 220 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 4: it's just keep it in cash, like you know that 221 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 4: that's safe. 222 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: Sometimes the most boring answer is the one exactly. 223 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. 224 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 225 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 4: I have clients that come to me and I'm like, look, 226 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 4: keep it in cash, and I'm like, I know that 227 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 4: it's boring. 228 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 2: It's a very unsexy answer. 229 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 4: It's very unsexy. 230 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 2: But I mean, we can find a high interest savings count. Yeah, 231 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 2: that could be fun, but yeah, don't invest it if 232 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 2: it's a year. 233 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 4: There's not one size fits old for that answer, but 234 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 4: it's just working around kind of how much we can 235 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 4: allocat in each area? 236 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 2: Really can I ask perfect questions? Is that allowed? 237 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 4: Absolutely? 238 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: I like this. 239 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: Do you still have a hex step? 240 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: No? 241 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm very envious. 242 00:10:59,000 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: I do. 243 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 2: It's really I want to know, did you have a 244 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 2: hex stet? 245 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 4: I was blessed, single child odess? 246 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 2: Okay, well, in that case, hypothetically, if you had a 247 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 2: hex step. 248 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 4: My husband still has a hex stet. 249 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, let's talk about him. Let's talk about here. 250 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 2: Are you guys paying that off at more than what 251 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 2: the base repayments are? 252 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: Oh? 253 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 2: So you're not adding extra contributions as the financial advisor? Interesting? 254 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: All right, next question someone has asked, as a financial advisor, 255 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 2: what is the most common mistake you see people making 256 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 2: with their money? 257 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 4: I suppose for me, it's not understanding their cash flow, 258 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,599 Speaker 4: so not understanding what's coming in, what's going out, not 259 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 4: understanding kind of yeah, where they're surplus or where they're 260 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 4: going to direct their money, and they sit on it. 261 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 4: And it's that whole analysis paralysis thing where they sit 262 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 4: on it. They know they need to do something with it, 263 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 4: but it's like there's so many options that I don't 264 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 4: know where to start, and it's kind of taking that 265 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 4: first step and it may be the wrong one, but 266 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 4: at least taking a step in one direction means that 267 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 4: you're not just sitting there stagnating doing nothing. Yeah. But 268 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 4: then also understanding where your money's going each pay cycle 269 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 4: is something that like people don't really understand, so then 270 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 4: they don't kind of seek advice or take that first step. 271 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. And I feel like that analysis paralysis is a choice. 272 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 2: Like I'm not saying it's an easy choice, like we're 273 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 2: just burying our head in the sand, but like not 274 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 2: making a decision is still a decision one hundred percent, Yeah, 275 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,719 Speaker 2: and we need to just like move past that and 276 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 2: especially women. We're so won't take bad but we're just 277 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: so good at going oh great, I'm ready, and then 278 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 2: you hear one word that you're like, I'm gonna have 279 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 2: to start again. I'm going to have to do some 280 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: more research, or like you've finally made a decision, maybe 281 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 2: you want to buy a house and you've picked, and 282 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 2: then a friend is like have you thought about and 283 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 2: you're like, oh no, I don't know anything. And I 284 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 2: think we don't back ourselves in our own research and 285 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 2: making a decision that's right for us because we're so 286 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 2: good at crowdsource. Like we've got a problem, we take 287 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 2: it to the community. But also sometimes we just need 288 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 2: to be a little bit insular and run our own race. 289 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 2: And that's me really important, Daisy. This has been so 290 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 2: good so far, but I really want to go to 291 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 2: a quick break because I feel like I need a breather, 292 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 2: a little cup of tea. After the break, we're going 293 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 2: to dive into a topic that a lot of people 294 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 2: were really curious about, and that is debt recycling. So 295 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 2: we're going to discuss what it is, how it works, 296 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 2: why it might actually be a strategy that could work 297 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 2: for you. So guys, don't go anywhere, all right, Welcome back, 298 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 2: my friends. We have Daisy from Everest Wealth talking all 299 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 2: things finance, answering all of your questions and a lot 300 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,719 Speaker 2: of people in our community. Daisy, they were like, what 301 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: is debt recycling? I feel like it started to trend 302 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 2: a little bit on TikTok and they're like, hold up, 303 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 2: what is this? How does it work? Can you break 304 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 2: it down for us? What is debt recycling? What are 305 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 2: your thoughts on it? Is it a good strategy? Who 306 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 2: could this work? 307 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 4: For? One hundred percent? Yeah, I do agree with you 308 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 4: that it's definitely become a lot more prevalent question, mainly 309 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 4: due to the tiktoks and stuff that I'm seeing. 310 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 2: So I love when a client would bring like an 311 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 2: Instagram video or something. You're like, look, I've seen this, 312 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 2: and I'm like thinking, yes, same, but mine was at 313 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 2: eleven PM. I'm not going to mention that. 314 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 4: No, one hundred percent, So try and explain it as 315 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 4: simply as possible. But it's effectively that you're taking your 316 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 4: non deductible debt, so your home mortgage, and kind of 317 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 4: redrawing on that and turning it into deductible debt. Which 318 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 4: you then normally invest in the share market. Say that 319 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 4: you have two hundred grand home mortgage and your house 320 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 4: is worth eight hundred grand, you could effectively pull out 321 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 4: one hundred grand of your equity yep, equity and turn 322 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 4: that into effectively an investment loan, which then means that 323 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 4: the interest on that one hundred grand investment loan becomes 324 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 4: tax deductible for you claim it on tax. Yes, and 325 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 4: then you would invest that normally in the share market, 326 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 4: which then has Stori has done kind of seven to 327 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 4: ten percent, and use the returns on that normally to 328 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 4: then pay off your home loan. 329 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 3: Quicker. 330 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: That sounds relatively sexy, Yes, and at the moment all positive. 331 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 4: Yes. 332 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 2: So it's a strategy that you implement as a financial advisor. 333 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 4: It's a lot more risky than just taking ten grand 334 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 4: and putting it in an investment portfolio. So I suppose 335 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 4: because you're leveraging or taking out debt to then go 336 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 4: invest in the share market. Obviously, the share market comes 337 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 4: with volatility, like we don't have a crystal ball, we 338 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 4: don't know what it's going to do. But you're still 339 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 4: going to have those debt repayments to pay. So I 340 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 4: suppose it's really a strategy if people have a large 341 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 4: surplus each year, so usually like twenty to thirty grand 342 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 4: surplus already before the investment loan is taken out, and 343 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 4: they understand the risk that comes with it, Like it 344 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 4: is one of the more higher risk strategies that we 345 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 4: implement for some clients, and a lot of people just 346 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 4: think it's kind of free money that they can take 347 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 4: out and invest without understanding the implications. 348 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 2: Of having integration strategy. 349 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it can definitely work well in a tax 350 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 4: production strategy, but yeah, there's certainly a lot of risks 351 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 4: that come with it that maybe a lot of those 352 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 4: tiktoks don't really exploring. 353 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 2: Those tiktoks drive me batty. Most finance content on TikTok 354 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 2: drives me insane because I just look at it and go, 355 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: oh my goodness, Like I know that you have just 356 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 2: learned this and it's a very sexy thing, but you 357 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 2: haven't taken this into consideration, or haven't talked about capital 358 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 2: gains on that and actually brings that down and doesn't 359 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 2: make it as an attractive opportunity as you're saying it is, 360 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 2: or you haven't spoken about the fact that you have 361 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 2: to pay tax on that income. 362 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, And a lot of people they come to 363 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 4: us and they really want to implement this strategy, but 364 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 4: they may not have a cash surplus. 365 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. 366 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 4: And it's like a lot of people believe were drawing 367 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 4: equity from their house just means free money without actually 368 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 4: understanding the implications of doing that. But yet it certainly 369 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 4: has worked in some clients cases, and like they fully 370 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 4: understand it and they have the surplus and they want 371 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 4: that tax reduction. But a lot of clients, once we 372 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,239 Speaker 4: actually explain it and run through it with them, they're like, oh, 373 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 4: that's too risky for me. 374 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. I found that when I was a financial advisor, 375 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 2: I did use it for a few clients. It wasn't 376 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 2: something that I recommended consistently, again because it was relatively 377 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 2: high risk, Like you know, you do your client risk 378 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 2: profile and you know you're only really even talking about 379 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 2: this that they come back as a high risk client 380 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 2: to begin with. But I found that younger clients with 381 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 2: really high incomes and debt it worked really well for yeah, 382 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 2: because you know, I'm just thinking of this one client. 383 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 2: I used to have a couple, both lawyers, really really 384 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 2: like career driven no kids, no plans for kids, and 385 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 2: you were like, Okay, cool, this is going to work 386 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 2: really well because you guys are just saving so much 387 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 2: money anyway, and we also have another thirty years in 388 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 2: the share market, and like our plan was to do 389 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 2: that essentially extinguish all of that debt. I think it 390 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 2: was like more than like fifteen years earlier because of 391 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 2: that strategy. But it was a privilege, Like it wasn't 392 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 2: a oh, yeah, you can do this and it's going 393 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 2: to be better for you financially. It was like, because 394 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 2: they had a lot of money, we could do that 395 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 2: because if at the end of the day they were 396 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 2: stretched for cash, I knew they were sitting on way more. 397 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, and one hundred percent like the clients that I 398 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 4: can think of that have implemented a very similar situation 399 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 4: where they're both high income earners, no plans for children 400 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 4: or career breaks. So yeah, it definitely has made sense 401 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 4: in those scenarios. 402 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 2: I think we're on the same page about who we 403 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 2: would recommend that for. Yeah, or right, let's flip the narrative. 404 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 2: We're no longer talking about houses, We're going to talk 405 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 2: about cars. Car leasing is one of those things that 406 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 2: sounds good in theory. You get a new car, no 407 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 2: upfront payment. Very nice. Maybe I'll get myself a NACA. 408 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 2: But is it actually a good financial move? What are 409 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 2: the pros and cons? And who does this make sense for? 410 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, so car leasing is one that pops up 411 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 4: a lot. I suppose the first discussion, is you even 412 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 4: need a new car? 413 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 2: Is we don't humble us. 414 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 4: That's all we have with people because you buy a car, 415 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 4: and yeah, it's kind of a spent expense, but you 416 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 4: do need a car to get around. 417 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 2: So I agree. I'm going to sidetrack this for a 418 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 2: hot second. Do you buy brand new cars as a 419 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 2: financial advisor? 420 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: No? 421 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 4: No, I know, Like why I don't know. It's that 422 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 4: whole thing of as soon as you drive out of 423 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 4: the dealership you lose, Like we just can't do it. 424 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, I bought my car secondhand too, don't worry, Like, 425 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that I bought a cheap car. Like, 426 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 2: don't get me wrong. I want to be really clear 427 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 2: that I'm not pretending that's a super budget decision, but 428 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 2: I'm definitely not spending the extra money like someone else. 429 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 2: You drive it, you make the loss. I make the game. 430 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 2: Talk to me about why people think that leasing a 431 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 2: car is a good idea if they've decided that a 432 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 2: new car is in line with their goals and their values. 433 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 4: So people see, as you said, they don't have to 434 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 4: fork out that big lump some payment to start with, 435 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 4: and they can just kind of have some money come 436 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 4: out of their salary each fortnite without understanding kind of 437 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 4: the balloon payment at the end. 438 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 2: Of the balloon payment. 439 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 4: So yeah, a lot of people don't understand that. Yeah, 440 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 4: you're paying money each fortnite or each pay cycle pre 441 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 4: tax and post tax, but every lease has a balloon 442 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 4: payment at the end of it, depending on how long 443 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 4: the lease is for, depending on how big the balloon 444 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 4: payment is, but it's usually a fair summer money. 445 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 2: It's usually like thirty or forty percent yeah, one hundred 446 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 2: car's value. 447 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, so then it's planning for that. So then you're 448 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 4: receiving lesson your pay each fortnite, but then having to 449 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 4: save money for this balloon payment at the end of 450 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 4: the lease unless you roll it into a new lease. 451 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 4: So balloon payment is number one that we highlight. Two 452 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 4: clients that are looking at a lease, usually the in 453 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 4: bill interest rate is a lot higher than other loans 454 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 4: that you could get for a car, and there's usually 455 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,719 Speaker 4: an admin fee that the leasing companies charge as well. 456 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 2: So sneaking, aren't they know? They know what they're doing. 457 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, so they will present to you how much the 458 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 4: tax saving is and all of that, And again that 459 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 4: looks really sexy, but if you actually drill down into it, 460 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 4: you kind of look at comparing it to a personal loan, 461 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 4: redrawing on your home mortgage if you can, or using 462 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 4: cash for it, it usually ends up kind of better 463 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 4: off doing one of the other options over leasing. I 464 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 4: suppose there is a caveat to that though, for electric 465 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 4: vehicles or plug in electric vehicles, so I'm not talking 466 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 4: about hybrids or anything. 467 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 2: This wasn't around when I was doing advice. 468 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,719 Speaker 4: Tell me for evs or plug in evs with leasing, 469 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 4: it just means that you can take one hundred percent 470 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 4: of the lease payment pre tax. Sorry what yeah, posts 471 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 4: comes out except I don't like Elon, I don't want 472 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 4: to buy a Sesler, That's true, there's plenty of other ones. 473 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 2: I don't know enough about cars to have a proper 474 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 2: opinion here. 475 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 4: So yeah, that for high income earners definitely has shown 476 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 4: a better result. But I suppose, yeah, you need to 477 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 4: want an or a plug in EV and understand the 478 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 4: costs that come with that. But in those cases when 479 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 4: we've done the numbers, it has actually worked out better 480 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 4: off taking a lease. But yeah, they're kind of far 481 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 4: and few between. 482 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 2: That is good to know, and I feel like so 483 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 2: many people are like, oh, I'll just lease it, as 484 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 2: though that's a flippant decision, but long term could actually 485 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 2: cost you so so much more. I want to flip 486 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 2: the script again. So with cars, we've done homes, now 487 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 2: we're going to do education. Education bonds aren't talked about 488 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 2: as much as other investment options, but a few of 489 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 2: our members have been relatively curious recently. I think potentially 490 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 2: because I have been talking a lot about investment bonds 491 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 2: because that's something that I invest in and something that 492 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 2: I have been using. But a few of our community 493 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 2: members want to know what are they, how do they work? 494 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 2: Are they actually a good strategy for saving for kids education? 495 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely, And I feel like I'm getting a lot 496 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 4: more education bond questions. So again that might be coming 497 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 4: from tea top. 498 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 2: We're all in the same era right now. We're thinking 499 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 2: about having kids, or we've just got kids, or like 500 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 2: we're all growing together. 501 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent. So an education bond is effectively 502 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 4: a tax structure similar to an investment bond, where the 503 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 4: tax is paid within the bond, but then there's an 504 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 4: additional education bond tax saving on top of this. With 505 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,479 Speaker 4: an education bond, they operate quite similar to an investment 506 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 4: bond like you that put in a lump sum or 507 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 4: put in a regular amount each year, but the purpose 508 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 4: of it is for the beneficiary's education. So whether that's 509 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 4: schooling tertiary, there's no requirement for it to be one 510 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 4: over the other. I suppose a lot of people do it. 511 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 4: If both parents, say are high income earners, grandparents want 512 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 4: to set up for their grandchildren, they will do it 513 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 4: because it is taxed internally. So if I set up 514 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 4: an education bond for one of my children, like nothing 515 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 4: would be taxable in my own name. It's all taxed 516 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,719 Speaker 4: within the bond, which is sexy. Yeah. So a lot 517 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 4: of people ask, well, what if my child doesn't go 518 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 4: and do tertiary education, what if I end up sending 519 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 4: them to my local public school instead? Can I take 520 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 4: the money out? The answer is yep, absolutely. The amount 521 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 4: that you're putting in each year, or if you put 522 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 4: in a lump sum, you can take that out tax free. 523 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 4: It just depends on how long you've had it in there. 524 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,719 Speaker 4: For the earnings that has accumulated in that account as 525 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 4: the wather, you can then pull that out tax free. Yeah, 526 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 4: it can be a very tax beneficial way of saving 527 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 4: for your children's education. We mainly implement them for high 528 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 4: income earners, where if there's two parents, one maybe on 529 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 4: a lower income, not planning on kind of returning to 530 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 4: work full time until the kids to finish school, it 531 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 4: may make more sense to set up an investment account 532 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 4: in their name for the kids' education, for example. So yeah, 533 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 4: again they come with additional admin fees and stuff like that, 534 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 4: but yeah, they can be very beneficial in some cases. 535 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 2: If you had kids, Daisy, what would your plan be 536 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 2: when it comes to investing for them? 537 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 4: I would probably set up in an education bond, just 538 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 4: purely due to my situation. But yeah, I suppose if 539 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 4: I wasn't planning on working kind of full time when 540 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 4: I had kids in school, then I'd probably look at 541 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 4: s someting something up in my own name. 542 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 2: Not see that happening, I know, you well enough to 543 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 2: know she's gonna be a working mum guy. 544 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, But like there are so many other options 545 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 4: as well, so like. 546 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 2: Oh, there's six million, and I feel like I'm thinking 547 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 2: about it now I have a baby, and I'm like, well, 548 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 2: what do I do? And we ended up going down 549 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 2: the investment bond route because it just worked best for us, 550 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 2: and I like the flexibility afforded with it, and like, 551 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 2: I just didn't want him to in the future feel 552 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 2: like he was being pressured down the education pathway. And 553 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, like love education, but I don't 554 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,479 Speaker 2: know who he is yet or like what he's going 555 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 2: to be interested in or who he wants to become. 556 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 2: And I just was like, oh, I like the idea 557 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 2: that that could benefit him in a number of different ways. 558 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 2: But do you have clients picking between an education bond 559 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 2: or an investment bond? Is that a conversation you have often? 560 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, And I suppose a lot of people probably 561 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 4: feel similar to you, where they don't necessarily want to 562 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 4: put it into an education bond if they don't know, like, yeah, 563 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 4: what their child's going to be like longer. 564 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 2: There's extra benefits for sure. 565 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's definitely actually benefits. And I suppose like some 566 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 4: people do come to us and they're like, Nope, I 567 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 4: want to send my child to the school that I 568 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 4: went to. I know it's going to cost me thirty 569 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 4: grand a year, and I want to say for that, 570 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 4: and that's like a no brainer in that situation if 571 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 4: both parents are high income earners, whereas some people are like, oh, 572 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 4: I may move house into a better catchments than they 573 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 4: may go to a public high school. I don't know 574 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 4: really if they're going to do any tertiary education. 575 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 2: I just don't know. 576 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, so if the unknowns are there, then yeah, probably 577 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 4: an investment bond would be more beneficial if you're pretty 578 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 4: set on what your child's education is going to look 579 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 4: like than an education bond. 580 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 2: Maybe. Yes, smart, good chat. I feel like that one 581 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 2: is a good topic. Let's talk about singles. Do you 582 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 2: have any advice for our listeners who are currently going 583 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 2: you know what, money is really hard at the moment 584 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 2: I am single. What would you say? 585 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 4: What do you do? 586 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 2: I know you give advice to single women all the 587 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 2: time because I keep sending them to you. 588 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I suppose a lot of people are worried 589 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 4: about seeking advice as a single person because they feel 590 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 4: like maybe they don't have the cash flow there or 591 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 4: something like, they feel like as though they need dual 592 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 4: income to be able to kind of do anything with 593 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 4: their finances, which is just absolutely not correct. So, as 594 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 4: you mentioned, we see a lot of single females mainly 595 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 4: who just want to kind of take a step in 596 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 4: the right direction. So like, coming and seeking advice shouldn't 597 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 4: be scary. 598 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 2: You actually are quite scary. So I don't know, Well, 599 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 2: a lot of people do say that, I don't do 600 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 2: they Actually I don't find Daisy scary. I find Daisy 601 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 2: lovely and you should definitely talk to her. 602 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 4: No, maybe you can ask my husband that, but I 603 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 4: don't ask my. 604 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 2: Husband about opinions if that's who we're going to. 605 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 4: But no, seeking advice as a single person shouldn't be scary. 606 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 4: We do it all the time, and just making a 607 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 4: few small tweaks can mean that, yeah, like you can 608 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 4: reach a few of these goals. I mean, so many 609 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 4: single females that I see they're worried about, like investing 610 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 4: in the share market, having stability, having like a bit 611 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 4: of a nest egg there as an emergency fund. So 612 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 4: we work through all of that, and like we understand 613 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 4: there's a single income, We understand all of that. But 614 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 4: even like little things like putting in place some insurance, 615 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 4: looking at their super, making sure they have a will, 616 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 4: all of that is all part of what we do 617 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 4: as financial advisors and assist with. So like, at least 618 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 4: then you're ticking off a few things. 619 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 2: That make me miss my job.

So that's 647 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 4: great because in five years time you would have gone, oh, 648 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 4: I should have done it fifteen years ago, whereas it's like, 649 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 4: don't worry about that.

Like 669 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 2: I promise you it's not too late, because the worst 670 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 2: thing is getting to the very end of your career 671 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 2: and going I would like to retire tomorrow and being told, oh, actually, 672 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 2: like if you'd come five years ago, we could have 673 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 2: structured you so that you're retired today, going to take 674 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 2: another five years, Like let's just get it together, yeah, 675 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 2: because no one regrets having a few more dollars in 676 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 2: their account. 677 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's getting people that peace of mind and 678 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 4: knowing what the future looks like as well, because yeah, 679 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 4: as you said, if you're three four years off retirement, 680 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 4: you want to know that that is achievable. You don't 681 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 4: want to be like that person who comes and says 682 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 4: I want to retire tomorrow and then it's like, no, 683 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 4: it's going to be a few more years. 684 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. 685 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 4: So, yeah, you're definitely never too old to seek advice. 686 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 4: And yes, I said, you're never too young either. 687 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,719 Speaker 2: I feel like I've learned a lot about that obviously 688 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 2: when I was an advisor, but now even in the 689 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 2: She's on the Money community, people ride in and they're like, 690 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, Victoria, I'm in my seventies and I'm like, 691 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 2: slay queen. Yeah, like that's so cool. All right, We're 692 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 2: running out of time very quickly. But finally we had 693 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 2: a few people ask Daisy, your job sounds really cool. 694 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 2: How do I also become a financial advisor? And do 695 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 2: you have any advice for anyone who's like, oh, maybe 696 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 2: that's a career pathway for me. 697 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 4: Yeah. So I suppose a little bit of history of 698 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 4: why I got into financial advice was that I wanted 699 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 4: to help people, So I really wanted to help care 700 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 4: for people, but I didn't want to go into the 701 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 4: medical field. 702 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 2: So I was like, I thought I wanted to be 703 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 2: a doctor, and I realized you actually have to do 704 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 2: like blood and guts and stuff. Yeah. 705 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, so very similar to me where I was like, 706 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 4: I want to help people. I want to make sure 707 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 4: that yeah, I'm doing something good for people, but I 708 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 4: didn't want to go into the medical field. So I 709 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 4: was like, I can help people set themselves up, feel 710 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 4: good about their goals, know they're going to reach them. 711 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,959 Speaker 4: I suppose becoming a financial advisor, there's definitely some education 712 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 4: requirements now, which is awesome. So yeah, there's relevant degrees 713 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 4: that you need to do, as well as potentially some 714 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 4: post study as well as a financial advisor exam and 715 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 4: a professional year. Sounds very overwhelming and daunting when we 716 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 4: say it like that, but I suppose find a financial 717 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 4: advice practice that has a really good grad program. Yeah, so, 718 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 4: like we have three graduates at the moment that we're 719 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,479 Speaker 4: working through very structured graduate program, so they feel as 720 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 4: though they're growing in their role or they feel as 721 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 4: though they're learning all the different aspects. Cool. 722 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 2: I remember when it was just the boys, and now 723 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 2: you've got three graduates. What are you talking about? 724 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, So, like when they came and interviewed with us, 725 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 4: we laid out that graduate structure and we were like, look, 726 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 4: this is where you're going to be if you stay 727 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 4: with us, if you want to move as quickly or 728 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 4: as slowly as you want to finding a good financial 729 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 4: planning practice that has some structure in place to make 730 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 4: sure that you are growing and are hitting those milestones. 731 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 4: Because I interview so many people that have been in 732 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 4: financial advice for a few years and they're like, I 733 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 4: just feel like I'm stagnating in my role. I feel 734 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 4: as though I'm not going to be able to start 735 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 4: my professional year, or I feel as though even if 736 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 4: I started that it's going to take me a few 737 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 4: years and I'm not going to have the support there. 738 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 4: Whereas like, we're very big on support and making sure 739 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,239 Speaker 4: that kind of you are hitting those milestones. I mean, 740 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 4: I finished my professional year with Everest Wealth when I 741 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 4: moved over, and yeah, having a good supportive employer is 742 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 4: really important. But yet being financial advisors all it's very rewarding. 743 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 4: Makes me feel nice when I come home at nights 744 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 4: and helping people in a similar kind of age bracket 745 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 4: to me is also really nice. I feel as though I. 746 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 2: Feel like you've lucked out at Everest, And I'm not 747 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 2: saying it's a bad thing, but like that's why I 748 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 2: got She's on the money right, Like I was working 749 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 2: with beautiful clients. They were so nice, but they were 750 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 2: high income earners who were not in my demographic. I 751 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 2: didn't have a lot in common with them. They were 752 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 2: my parents' age, and that's fantastic, but I just didn't 753 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 2: resonate with them, and I wanted to work with women. 754 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 2: I wanted to work with young but you've like literally 755 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 2: got my dream financial advice job. 756 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,399 Speaker 4: They're going through similar life stages to me, Like, yeah, 757 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,240 Speaker 4: they're maybe getting married, wanting to start a family, wanting. 758 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 2: To tips and tricks too, yeah. 759 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 4: Like wanting to purchase their first home.
