Speaker 2: I mean when you just put it like that everyone

6
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 2: and say no, that's terrible, let's be romantic. But a

7
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: new survey has revealed that well millions of Australians are

8
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 2: hooking up for financial reasons and the cost of living

9
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 2: has blurred the lines between love and financial security. It's

10
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: not gold digging, it's financial security. That's a very attractive

11
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 2: quality and who would blame someone for looking for that?

12
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: Almost one in five are people. There's just three point

13
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 2: six million people that pursued a romantic relationship for financial reasons,

14
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: basically more by and large it's Gen Z's and the

15
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: older generations not so much. But this is the rising

16
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: cost of living that people are dealing with. Is maybe

17
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: you find romantic attachments to people who can give you

18
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: a better standard of living. Maybe that's how it goes.

19
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: What do you think dating someone for their bank balance?

20
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: Does it pass the pub test?

21
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't pass. You's got to have a relationship.

22
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: You have to know the person a lot person for

23
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 3: what they are and who they are and doing it

24
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 3: because they own money and they've got a good job.

25
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 3: Doesn't pass it to me.

26
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 4: No, I believe you should be with someone for what

27
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 4: they have to give from their hearts, not for what

28
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 4: they have to give in their back pockets, as money

29
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 4: only causes trouble and drama. So yeah, it doesn't pass

30
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 4: the pub get to me.

31
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: No, it absolutely does not pass the POD test. I

32
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,919
Speaker 1: met my wife and we had nothing. We've been married

33
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: fifteen years. We've built a life together with growing a family,

34
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: built wealth, been on holidays and all that sort of stuff.

35
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: So now it doesn't pass the pub test. You've got

36
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: to work at it, learn and earn together, and that

37
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: makes a good lasting relationship.

38
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 5: Look, I'm going to be a little bit controversial. I

39
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 5: think it does. I mean, in this day and age,

40
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 5: everything is just so expensive and one day, you know,

41
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 5: if I want to have kids or anything like that,

42
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 5: Like I'm in my late twenties, I need to think

43
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 5: about my future. And if you know, my partner has

44
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 5: a bit of a bit more of a better paying

45
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 5: job and a higher bank balance, And I'm sorry that

46
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 5: I think I.

47
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,240

48
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,360
