We 16 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 3: spoke to a beautiful. 17 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 2: Diariss It was. It was wild. Really, I was not prepared. 18 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 3: She had lived in many, many countries and done so 19 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 3: many brilliant things, but she had also just dug herself 20 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,199 Speaker 3: into this whole of debt, and she took us through 21 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 3: her journey that spanned literally five or six years and 22 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 3: took us right through. 23 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 2: Her and five contents. Five contents took. 24 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 3: Her through her emotions, her feelings, how that played out. 25 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 3: She had to do some things she said that at 26 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 3: the time she you know, didn't want to or wasn't 27 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 3: proud of, but you know, she pushed through, she persevered, 28 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 3: she did what she had to, and her and her 29 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 3: partner have actually just recently moved to Australia, which is 30 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 3: really fun and exciting. And after all of that, she's 31 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 3: now looking to buy property, which I think is just incredible. 32 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: I found this story honestly a bit of a rollercoaster. 33 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: I would be lying if I said it didn't give 34 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: me anxiety when she was explaining it all and how 35 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: different debts were in different currencies, and then she moved 36 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: to Vietnam, so she was being paid in dong but 37 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 2: then owed money in Australia. And I cannot, like I 38 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 2: already struggle when I go overseas guys and have to 39 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 2: remember the currency conversions, like I suck at stuff like that. 40 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: In fact, I'm the one that goes overseas and goes 41 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 2: a little bit unprepared. You know how, if you were 42 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: jessic Ici, you'd already know, like whitchcard had what transfer fee, 43 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: Like I'm the absolute nim wit that believes that they 44 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 2: have no international transaction fees and then get stung with 45 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: the like really high conversion rate, like I am a potato, 46 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: So I cannot imagine having to deal with debt internationally 47 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 2: Like that just sounds terrifying. But the fact that she's 48 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: out of it and she's on the right path and 49 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 2: she's literally earning six figures in her dream job, now, 50 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: like just what she was incredible. I was obsessed. 51 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 3: She was super cool. She raised some really interesting points, 52 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 3: as you said, around like the cost of sending money 53 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 3: back home and the conversions and the tax and things 54 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: that I personally had never thought about as someone who's 55 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 3: not half as ventress as she is. So definitely well 56 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 3: worth the listen if you're interested. 57 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 2: I feel like Georgie is just as adventurous. But George, 58 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 2: you haven't been in personal debt, so you can't relate 59 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: to that. But you would go and live in a 60 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 2: million different countries on a whim. 61 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 4: I feel, oh if I could if COVID wasn't a thing. 62 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: But I feel we like COVID. We like it because 63 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 2: we got to keep Georgia King. 64 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 4: But no, I feel like I'm more like you Vikid. 65 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 4: I'm more scattered when it comes to like understanding, well, actually, 66 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 4: you totally understand the financial ramifications of tax and what 67 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 4: you're doing. But I wouldn't be as organized as Jess. 68 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, No, I get that. It's currency conversion that 69 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: gets me overseas, like I get tax. I get the 70 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: ramifications of that, like Lord knows, I know. But it's 71 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 2: when you go overseas and you're like, don't want to 72 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: think about it too much, and you're like, whatever, I'll 73 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: just pop it on my card or I'll just go 74 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: to this ATM and get some money out, and like 75 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: that's a very privileged thing to say, I feel, but 76 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: I just had never considered it. And I remember coming 77 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: home from Bali one time. I was there for a 78 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: work conference and I came home and I was like, 79 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 2: what is all of this? Like I couldn't work out 80 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: what the exchange rate charges were and why they were 81 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: so much money on my debit card. It just turns 82 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: out like they might not have had any fees, but 83 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: they definitely had the exchange rate. 84 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 5: Cool from me. 85 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: Cool from me. But moving on from Monday's episode, George King, 86 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 2: what did we talk about on Wednesday's Deep. 87 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 5: Dive Victoria Devine? 88 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 4: Look, it wasn't maybe as interesting as that money diary, 89 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 4: because that does sound quite fascinating. We spoke about mortgage refinancing. 90 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: Joy to the world. No, I feel like it's exciting. 91 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 3: It can save you money. 92 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, well done, Jess. 93 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: Look, it can save you money and it can be 94 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 2: really sexy. And I mean we didn't say it on 95 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: the episode, but we do have some very exciting news 96 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 2: around the refinancing mortgage broking space coming up soon for Zella, 97 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 2: So keep your eyes in ears peeled. But I find 98 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 2: it sexy. I was joking just then. But George, what 99 00:04:58,720 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 2: did we talk about? What would the take? 100 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,799 Speaker 4: Well, we spoke about what it is, and for anyone 101 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 4: who is completely unaware, it's basically just transferring your home 102 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 4: loan from one bank or Linda to another, or perhaps 103 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 4: refinancing with the bank you are currently with, to essentially 104 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 4: get a better deal, meaning your repayments are. 105 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 5: Lower, the life of your loan may. 106 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 4: Be shorter, and there's lots of perks, but there also 107 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 4: are somethings to be mindful of. And we did run 108 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 4: through the common mistakes that people make when refinancing, So 109 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 4: if you're interested, give it a listen. 110 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: I feel like everybody thinks that refinancing is like the 111 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 2: smartest thing to do if you've got a mortgage, like 112 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 2: you should do it every year, but you can actually 113 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 2: end up shooting yourself in the foot. So if you 114 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: are one of those people, go listen to the episode, 115 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 2: because it turns out, guys, I have an opinion and 116 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: I shared it on the podcast, so weird. But moving on, George, 117 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: because I don't want to talk about me anymore jokes. 118 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 2: I always want to talk about me, George.

She decided this year 141 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 4: that instead of going cold turkey, she teach herself how 142 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 4: to make it at home once a week. It's been 143 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 4: three weeks since her last uber eats, which is saving 144 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 4: her between thirty and forty dollars each time.

Maybe less 266 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 4: so for my health, but. 267 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 2: Not for your health. But I do genuinely believe that 268 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 2: there seems to be this like connection where if your 269 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 2: meal prepping, it has to be you meal prepping like 270 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 2: super healthy things to take to work, Like some kind 271 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 2: of shame exists, not in my world, but some kind 272 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 2: of shame seems to be existing where if you made 273 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 2: like a big dirty spag bowl and you were like, 274 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 2: I'm going to take an epic serving of this, somehow 275 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 2: that's not as acceptable as making a veggie platter, like 276 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 2: I don't know. 277 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 4: Oh on this bag bowl, guys feels so, I guess 278 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 4: we're interested to hear what Olga is bringing into lunch. 279 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 5: Let us know. 280 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 4: But beyond that, there's a couple more wins in here. 281 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 5: One of what else? 282 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 4: Your colleagues noticed that she was being frugal and she 283 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 4: was like, Olga, love, why don't you start giving up 284 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 4: coffee as well? Old say a respectisty I identify that 285 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 4: that is a money drainer. But I love my coffee. 286 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 4: It's not going to happen. 287 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 5: Lunch is enough. That's my limit. 288 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 2: Olga knows her values. I really hate values. I think 289 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 2: that's really important. Like, I think it is so important 290 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 2: to know what you're willing to compromise on and what 291 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 2: you're not. Because I'm with Olga, we aren't compromising on 292 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: the coffee. 293 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 4: Precisely, and it makes it more sustainable because you're not 294 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 4: cutting everything out. But anyway, on Friday, Olga won a 295 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 4: whole year of coffee from a new coffee shop right 296 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 4: next door to her work.

That is karma. That's 299 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 2: her being like, no coffee is in line with my values, 300 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 2: and that's like the she's on the money karma train 301 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: coming around and being like. 302 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 4: We see you, we hear you.

AFR seems to be getting a 341 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 3: little clickbaity. But essentially, if a platform called own home, 342 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 3: which is in the rent to own space, which we 343 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 3: actually spoke about on the Pod a couple of weeks ago, 344 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 3: if anyone wants to head back and listen to it, 345 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 3: it says in this article it's much more common in 346 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 3: the US than it is here, but it does float 347 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 3: around and it has for a little while. But the 348 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 3: thing that really intrigued me is that it's being backed 349 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 3: by Commonwealth Bank, which obviously means that they're seeing a 350 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 3: lot of value in this space. And the article does 351 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 3: go on to say that at least initially, CBO is 352 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 3: not going to add it to their current app that 353 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 3: they have, but they anticipate that this kind of model 354 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 3: of renting to own is going to become really really popular. 355 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 3: And I know that we already spoke about this a 356 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 3: little bit on the podcast, but I'm interested to note if, 357 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 3: knowing that a more legitimate, I suppose option exists that's 358 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 3: being backed by these big businesses, if that changes any 359 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 3: of the perspectives we shared, because I know we spoke 360 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 3: about how it can be a little sketchy sometimes. 361 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, well this is very different, Like, this is a 362 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 2: very different product I think than the ones that we 363 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 2: were talking about, and given it's being backed by CBA, 364 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 2: I would assume, and this is definitely assumption, that it 365 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 2: is a little bit more of a legitimate model that's 366 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 2: not planning on taking advantage of first home buyers, especially 367 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 2: because a big part of CBA's revenue is generated from 368 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 2: mortgage owners. Like, if you're going to give mortgages to people, like, 369 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 2: you're not going to want to screw them over, you know, 370 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 2: Like it just makes sense that this this might be 371 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 2: a really legitimate option for first home buyers, especially in 372 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 2: a world where saving up for a home deposit can 373 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 2: take literally ten fifteen years at our ages, Like it's insane. 374 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 3: Do you give a little bit more context. The way 375 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 3: that it works is that own home will purchase the 376 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 3: property for you, so they will initially buy it, they'll 377 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 3: handle the deposit, the stamp duty, and so you as 378 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 3: the purchaser, only pay one point five percent fee up 379 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 3: front and you can move in, so they still own it, 380 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 3: but you've moved in. So you then go ahead and 381 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 3: put in adational one percent to begin a purchase offset, 382 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 3: and then make monthly repayments so you'll build up equity 383 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 3: over time. You should be putting in about two point 384 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 3: five percent of the dwelling per year, and then at 385 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 3: a later date you can elect to buy the property 386 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 3: for a pre agreed price at any time between three 387 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 3: or seven years. So it is a little bit more complicated. 388 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 3: It sounds like there's quite a few steps there. I mean, 389 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 3: what if you want to purchase the property ten years out. 390 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 3: I don't know if that's an option. 391 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 2: I'd be really interested just in understanding and from what 392 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 2: I can see, there's not a lot of clarity on this, 393 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 2: but I would be interested in understanding the credit structure 394 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 2: and exactly what that would look like for a mortgage owner. 395 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 2: Like obviously, you know they're saying all these great things 396 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 2: and it sounds really good. And what I like about 397 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 2: this is also that pre agreed price because we know 398 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 2: property over time goes up, so the fact that you 399 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 2: could be purchasing it for a pre agreed price, is 400 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 2: that actually going to take into consideration inflation and like 401 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 2: property growth. Are they going to guestimate that and guess 402 00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 2: that it'll be worth this or are they going to 403 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,719 Speaker 2: do it at the pre agreed price? I don't know. 404 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 2: I just feel like there's so many things that could 405 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 2: be really beautiful about this, but also things that could 406 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 2: be like a little bit scary, Like what if in 407 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 2: five to seven years your financial situation has changed dramatically? Like, Jess, 408 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: what if you and your partner had broken up and 409 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 2: now you can't afford the house on your own? Like 410 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 2: is that time wasted instead of saving for a home deposit? 411 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like there's a lot of 412 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 2: lack of clarity around these structures and around what's going 413 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 2: on in the credit space. Yeah, Like I don't know. 414 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 2: Just everything's annoying me this way. Guys. 415 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 3: I feel like I'm sure you could jump on the website, 416 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 3: read their pds and find a little bit more information. 417 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 3: But something that really stuck out to me in this 418 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 3: particular article is it said a potential buyer could access 419 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 3: a million dollar property with a twenty five thousand dollar 420 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 3: payment upfront, which. 421 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 5: Is not a lot. 422 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 4: Like. 423 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 3: I guess it's good from a consumer perspective because you're like, oh, like, 424 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 3: how easy. But I worry as someone who, as we've said, 425 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 3: is currently going through the process and assessing whether I 426 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 3: can get a mortgage and don't ask me how that's gone. 427 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 3: But you know, is it oh I miss? I wished 428 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 3: I didn't, I know, But is it almost setting people 429 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 3: up a little bit for failure by saying, hey, you 430 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 3: can have this million dollar property if you only have 431 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 3: access to twenty five thousand dollars right now. And I 432 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 3: understand it's really hard when people get stuck in the 433 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 3: right race of renting and doing this and doing that. Like, 434 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 3: I fully understand the challenges. I'm living them with you. 435 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 3: But if you can only save a twenty five thousand 436 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 3: dollar deposit, is does that potentially mean that you just 437 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 3: should not be purchasing a million dollar property? 438 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting because obviously on this podcast, I can't 439 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 2: give you guys financial advice, so I don't know your 440 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 2: financial situations near deeply enough to go well, actually that 441 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 2: means this, that or the other. But from a financial 442 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 2: advisor who has a very diverse amount of clients. I've 443 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 2: sat down with clients before and said, hey, client, I've 444 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 2: done my statement of advice and we're here to present it. 445 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 2: And I'm sitting with a client and I just say them, 446 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 2: it's just not financially viable for you to purchase property. 447 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 2: I mean, if you really really want to, we can 448 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 2: make that a goal and work in your financial goals 449 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 2: around that. But unfortunately, because of the hurdle of the 450 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 2: deposit and the fact that they didn't have, you know, 451 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 2: any guarantels or anything like that, they found themselves in 452 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 2: a position where it just wasn't that financially viable to 453 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 2: own their own property and have all the associated risk 454 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 2: and additional costs and to create wealth. We ended up 455 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 2: going down a different route in saying that, I guess, 456 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 2: you know, to give you enough context that that was 457 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 2: the right advice to give for them. They didn't mind 458 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 2: which asset class they wanted. They essentially came to me 459 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 2: and said, I've got X amount, this is what I 460 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 2: want to do. I want to create wealth. They want 461 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 2: to work towards this. They weren't a client that came 462 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 2: to me and said Victoria desperately want to own property, 463 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 2: and then I just burst their bubble. They literally will like, 464 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 2: well what do I do? And in that situation the 465 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 2: outcome was cool property ain itsis like, that's not going 466 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 2: to work for you. And I think that we need 467 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 2: to come to this realization that that's not a bad thing. 468 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 2: It's just a smart thing for some people. Like we've 469 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 2: got this pre existing like idea in our head that 470 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 2: purchasing property means that we've made it, and it's just 471 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 2: so far from the truth, and it's so I guess 472 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 2: hard to comprehend when you're not in that property owning position, 473 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 2: Like Jess, you're not there yet. You're on the journey. 474 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 2: And I know for sure without you know, throwing you 475 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 2: under a bus. That's not what I'm doing. But like 476 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 2: you definitely romanticized property, like you wait, like you love it. 477 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 2: I know you'll love it. I know because I'm also 478 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 2: your financial advisor as well as your boss. I know 479 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 2: that that's the right decision for you. But so often 480 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 2: when we're not in that driver's seat of owning the property, 481 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 2: we only see the romantic side of it, whereas just 482 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 2: in twelve months, you're gonna have a property and you'll 483 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 2: be like, ah, the hot what a system broke? And 484 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 2: you'll be like me, like, my air con is out 485 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 2: and I don't want to pay for a new one. 486 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 2: So I'm sitting here sweltering right now and going what 487 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 2: am I going to do to save money while getting 488 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 2: a new aircorn? Like it's not as sexy as people 489 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 2: make it out to be. And yes, it is gratifying, 490 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 2: and there's a lot of privilege in being a homeowner, 491 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 2: but I think that a lot of people think that 492 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 2: you've quite made it once you own property, Like we 493 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 2: talk about it on She's on the Money all the time, 494 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 2: and we say, you know, it's definitely not an indicator 495 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 2: of success, Like, yes, you could purchase property, but does 496 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 2: that mean that you're more financially stable? Not necessarily. Does 497 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 2: that mean you have free cash flow to achieve all 498 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 2: of your goals and the things that you want to 499 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 2: achieve in life? No, does that mean that you're going 500 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 2: to retire with more money? Maybe not, Like, it doesn't 501 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 2: actually mean what you think it means. And even though 502 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 2: I think I'm being incredibly clear in what I'm saying 503 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 2: to you guys right now, if I still said, hey, George, h. 504 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 2: Do you know old mate from down the road she's 505 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 2: bought a house. You'd be like, oh, good on her. 506 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 2: What an achievement, Like as Italy, it's something that you 507 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 2: know should be celebrated, And please don't get me wrong, 508 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 2: it absolutely is because it's the journey, it's the savings, 509 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 2: it's the sacrifice that goes into creating this. And just 510 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 2: like when you purchase your home, I'm going to be 511 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 2: over the moon because you save so hard and you 512 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 2: compromise so many things that you know, I know you value, 513 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 2: because you value this goal more. And like, I get 514 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 2: to be on that journey with you and I've spoken 515 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 2: to you about it, and I genuinely will be so 516 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 2: excited and so proud that you've achieved that. But it 517 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 2: won't be because I'm like, oh my god, she's made it. 518 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 2: She's achieved it, like she's better than everybody else. Like 519 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 2: it's crazy. But even though we're saying what we're saying 520 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 2: right now, people are still going to be like, oh 521 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 2: my gosh, yeah, but it is a level of achievement, 522 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 2: Like get that out of your brain. 523 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 4: Can I throw in a bit of a spicy take here, ladies, 524 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 4: go for a. 525 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 2: Love spicy takes. This week is all about spicy taps totally. 526 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 4: It certainly is. But could someone perhaps argue that maybe 527 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 4: this venture is kind of capitalizing on the instant gratification 528 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 4: culture that's kind of been cultivated. I guess throughout our generation, 529 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 4: like you know how, we're also used to having what 530 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 4: we want now. We'll deal with the consequences later. That's 531 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 4: what after pay allows us to do. We'll deal with 532 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 4: the pain later. If we're entering the property market with 533 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 4: twenty five thousand dollars and then in three to seven 534 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 4: years we're expected to take on a full mortgage, how like, 535 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 4: how can we be expected to afford that if in 536 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 4: the first place we can't. How does that work? 537 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 3: It is worth noting here that they did say that 538 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 3: our customers are being assessed individually, like you would be 539 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 3: at a bank and you are having to answer the 540 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 3: same question. So as much as the example that was 541 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 3: provided was with twenty five thousand dollars you could get 542 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 3: a million dollar home, I don't know that they're offering 543 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 3: that to everybody. There's obviously a level of due diligence 544 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 3: that they're completing, and I would imagine if a bank 545 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 3: is backing that that it would be pretty thorough more legitimate. Okay, 546 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 3: I guess the concept is the same, and I mean 547 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 3: you could argue back and forth on you know, there 548 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 3: are government grants and things that assist, and it's not easy. 549 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 3: Getting into the property market is so challenging. We all 550 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 3: know that. And I don't want to make a sweeping 551 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 3: statement and say that people who haven't got a deposit 552 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 3: are just not doing the right thing, because that's obviously 553 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 3: not the case, because it is really challenging when you 554 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 3: have families and other commitments. But yeah, I would really 555 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 3: recommend people go back and listen to that episode because, 556 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 3: like I said, we've got a heap of dms regarding this, 557 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 3: and I think a lot of the things that you 558 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 3: spoke about are applicable. It is just a slightly different 559 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 3: model and one that seems to be a little bit 560 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 3: more legitimate. 561 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 5: One more Q. J. 562 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 2: Rick. 563 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 4: I'm not sure if it was in that article, but 564 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 4: the is the idea that you can go up for 565 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 4: any home that you're looking at and just click like 566 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 4: the own home button or is it more of that 567 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 4: own home is buying like estates and then you're living 568 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 4: in a designated area or is it like a viable option. 569 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 3: That's actually that's a really good question, Thank Scott. All Right, 570 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 3: I've just jumped on the website G two see and 571 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 3: the first thing I see is it choose the home 572 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 3: of your dreams and move in straight away. So I'm 573 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 3: assuming that you can kind of pick and choose. They 574 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 3: will purchase on your behalf and then that model comes 575 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 3: into play. But even there again, and to be very clear, 576 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 3: they are not associated. They are not a buy and 577 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 3: now pay later platform. But as you said before, it 578 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 3: is that kind of same instant gratification. It says turning 579 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 3: renters into homeowners, choose the home of your dreams and 580 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 3: move in straight away, and it I mean, I'm not 581 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 3: condemning them. I haven't looked into them enough at all, 582 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 3: but it is once again, it feels like capitalizing on 583 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 3: that desire to have something so quickly. 584 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:41,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it seems crazy, and I mean to absolutely pivot. 585 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 2: We were talking before, Jess and George about the credit industry, 586 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 2: you know, being a bit crazy at the moment. Jess, 587 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 2: you're going through the pre approval process and that's you know, 588 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 2: really challenging. In a couple of weeks ago, we spoke 589 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 2: on the Friday Drinks episode about how in the US 590 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 2: Equifax are now putting after pay on their credit report thoughts, 591 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 2: So everything's becoming a little bit more official. But another 592 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 2: finance news thing that happened this week was actually that 593 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 2: a whole heap of financial experts came out at the 594 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 2: end of last week and they quote predicted potential carnage 595 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 2: for the buy now, pay later sector. And if you 596 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 2: know you've been following me on socials, you know I've 597 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 2: been going a bit ham on after Pay and money 598 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 2: by after Pay and their potential marketing and how I 599 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 2: just feel like it's not potentially putting their consumers in 600 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 2: the best possible position and it makes me a little 601 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 2: bit uncomfortable. So I've been talking a lot about that, 602 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 2: and Glenn James from my Millennial Money and I have 603 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 2: actually already recorded a podcast on that and that will 604 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 2: drop on our feed in probably the next two weeks. 605 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 2: We're just making sure it's perfect, okay, guys, because we 606 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 2: don't need to be starting fires or lighting fires that 607 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 2: don't need to be lit. So we're just making sure 608 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 2: we're doing the right thing by you guys, as well 609 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 2: as by after Pay. But it's interesting to see that 610 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 2: the buy now, pay later segment here or sector you 611 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 2: should say here in Australia is actually worth more than 612 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 2: the billion dollars collectively, which that's a lot of money. 613 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 2: And now on the AX or the Australian Stock Exchange, 614 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 2: there are twelve different by now pay laters that are 615 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 2: you know, on the ASEX here in Australia. But George Jess, 616 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 2: did you know that by now pay later providers bad 617 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 2: debts are now astronomical and not one of those twelve 618 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 2: listed providers have ever made a profit. None of them 619 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 2: have ever paid a dividend to their investors. And over 620 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 2: the last week or two share prices have absolutely plummeted. 621 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 5: Have you seen that? 622 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 3: I had seen someone talking about it online, And I 623 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 3: guess it's quite a shock, isn't it. Because we talk 624 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 3: a lot about the extortionate amount of fees that these 625 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 3: businesses collect every year. So it's wild to think that 626 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 3: they're taking on so much debt that even with all 627 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 3: of those late fees, they're not turning a profit. But 628 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 3: I guess that makes it pretty clear as to why 629 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 3: we spoke about last week or the week before. These 630 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 3: businesses work so hard to keep your business. That's why, 631 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 3: because they've got debt to pay. 632 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 2: Because they've got debt to pay, because they're in debt themselves. 633 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 2: So if anybody understands bad debt, and I was calling 634 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 2: them out for not understanding bad debt and quoting it, guys, 635 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 2: you should know you're in it up, dear eyeballs guys. 636 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 2: The fact that after pay and Zip pays, share prices 637 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 2: over the last week have gone down dramatically, Like the 638 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 2: Zip share price dropped eighty percent, like one day it 639 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 2: was fourteen dollars and then it went down to two 640 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 2: dollars ninetyer share Like if you were a shareholder, what, yeah. 641 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 3: What caused that? 642 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,719 Speaker 2: So the cause of that was actually its reporting season, 643 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 2: So all the reports are coming out, they're starting to 644 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 2: be really they have to be, because they're on the 645 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 2: ASX transparent about their debt levels and what their predictions 646 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 2: are for the next twelve, eighteen, twenty four months and 647 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 2: what they're foreseeing. But it's kind of one of those 648 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 2: things where shareholders are talking with their money, Like shareholders 649 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 2: are mass exiting holding by now pay later companies, and 650 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 2: the reason they do that is because they're finally saying cool, 651 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 2: they're not turning a profit. Yeah, we might have gotten 652 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 2: to a point where we sold for fourteen dollars and 653 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 2: we only bought for two dollars or whatever their situation was. 654 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 2: But no person who owns after pay shares or z 655 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 2: it pay shares or any of the listed by now 656 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 2: pay later shares has ever returned a dividend. And you know, 657 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 2: when we talk about the share market, and you know, Victoria, 658 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 2: what do you invest in? And obviously I'm not going 659 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 2: to ever share that with you guys and exactly what 660 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 2: makes up my portfolio because it would be, from my perspective, 661 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 2: really irresponsible of me to do that because I just 662 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 2: sit in this. You know, I don't want to say 663 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 2: I'm so responsible for you guys, but I am. And 664 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 2: I know that you guys know what I'm talking about. 665 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 2: So you'd very likely just go out and replicate my portfolio. 666 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 2: I get it. I would do that too. I've done 667 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 2: that to other investors that I know when I follow them. Like, 668 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 2: it's not that are uncommon of a concept, but that's 669 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 2: one thing that when I'm looking at shares to put 670 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 2: in my portfolio, They're not only going to increase in value, 671 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 2: but they also pay a dividend, because a dividend is 672 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 2: going to make up a very big portion, hopefully of 673 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 2: what my retirement payment is going to be. Like capital 674 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 2: growth is great, Like Jesse, if I gave you a 675 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 2: share tomorrow and said, wow, it was worth ten dollars 676 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 2: today and fourteen dollars tomorrow, it's only worth fourteen dollars 677 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 2: if you sell it, Like I need that share to 678 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 2: be generating me income, and income is the dividend. So 679 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 2: no one's ever made money from any of the buy 680 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 2: now pay laters unless they sold their shares, And that's 681 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 2: not what we want to be forced to do when 682 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 2: we're investing for the long term. Like we're investing for 683 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 2: the long term so that the money that our money 684 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 2: makes can make money and that's the money we live off. 685 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 2: Like it just to me, not such a good investment, hey, Gus. 686 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 5: Yeah. 687 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 2: So I just think it's really interesting to have these 688 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 2: conversations because you know, it's not us going, oh my god, 689 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 2: we knew, like this is all common knowledge, but it's 690 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 2: just so interesting that it's happening at the same time 691 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 2: that we're talking about it, not because they're connected, just 692 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 2: because it's like wow, like we were literally talking about 693 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 2: the last week. Jess like, Yeah, it's crazy to think that, 694 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 2: you know, they're not even turning a profit and they're 695 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 2: in bad debt. 696 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent. And I guess I'll be really 697 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 3: interested to take that I guess concept and apply it 698 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 3: to businesses like own home who are again taking on 699 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 3: extreme amounts of debt on behalf of a consumer. I mean, 700 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 3: I'm sure there's going to be, unfortunately, situations where people 701 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 3: can't pay you that back. So I'm interested to see 702 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 3: how that model works and learn a little bit more 703 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 3: about it as time goes on as well. 704 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. 705 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 4: Absolutely, It is Friday, which means it's time to answer 706 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 4: your most burning finance, career and life questions.

Because I think, yes, yes, yeah, 730 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,879 Speaker 3: male doing this to a female, W'd be really quick 731 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 3: to jump up and down and say, oh my god, 732 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 3: this is sounding alarm bells just because it's a female 733 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 3: doing it for a male. I know that we as 734 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 3: women take on that mental load significantly more in a partnership, 735 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,919 Speaker 3: but just making sure everyone's comfy, you know, I'm MISSU 736 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 3: mean that she's had this conversation with her partner and 737 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,720 Speaker 3: that he's happy for her to take on the responsibility. 738 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a really good call out, Jess, Like we 739 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,359 Speaker 2: are operating under the assumption that her partner has turned 740 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 2: around and said, just take my money off me. I 741 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 2: can't be trusted and all parties are consented. 742 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent. 743 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 2: So let's have the conversation based on that assumption. 744 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, with that in mind, my personal opinion is, I mean, 745 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 3: if you're happy to do that to make your relationship work, 746 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 3: by all means, I personally would find it incredibly frustrating 747 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 3: to have to look after my partner's finances as well 748 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 3: as my own, just in the sense of I think 749 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 3: that you can be bad with money. And there's a 750 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 3: whole bunch of reasons why I'm neurodiverse. Friends, there's all 751 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,320 Speaker 3: these different factors that might make certain aspects of financial 752 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 3: management more challenging for you. But I think there's there's 753 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 3: one thing to ask someone to help you or to 754 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 3: set you up for success, and I think it's another 755 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 3: thing to go it's too hard do it all for me, 756 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 3: Because assuming you guys are together forever, do you really 757 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 3: want to be doing everything for him financially, doing his 758 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 3: budget all of that stuff for the next sixty years. 759 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, No, No, that just feels overwhelming, Like 760 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 2: that feels like too much from my perspective, George, what 761 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 2: do you reckon? 762 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 4: Well, it's a hard one. And in the body of 763 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 4: the email that she sent us, she said that it 764 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 4: has caused a lot of stress in their relationship. 765 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 5: Which sucks. And I mean, I am in. 766 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 4: A relationship where I am a little more responsible with 767 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 4: my finances than my partner is, so I totally understand 768 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,439 Speaker 4: how hard it can be when you're kind of both 769 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 4: working towards shared goals and one of you is definitely 770 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 4: working harder, and you know, you see the other one 771 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 4: being frivolous with their money, but it is their money, 772 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 4: so you do need to give them that level of freedom. 773 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 4: But I mean, I would probably suggest sitting down and 774 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 4: having a really good chat, and I mean you probably 775 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 4: have already done this, but talking through your money stories, 776 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 4: the goals that you are working towards together, and what 777 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 4: you do want further down the line, be that five years, 778 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 4: ten years, if it is quite a serious relationship, and 779 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 4: then I think, yeah, just really reassessing and helping them 780 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 4: understand that their behaviors around money are impacting you, and 781 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 4: a level of sacrifice does have to take place if 782 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 4: I guess you want to continue in this relationship, because yeah, 783 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 4: it's hard, it's really hard. 784 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 3: That's such a good point, Gee, I think, yeah, helping 785 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 3: them set up processes, so being like, hey, I want 786 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,239 Speaker 3: to help you, I want to see you succeed, Like 787 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 3: that's what a partner does. I'm here to support you. 788 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 3: But that does in my opinion, that doesn't necessarily mean 789 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 3: that you should just take on all of the responsibility, but. 790 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 4: Because that's a massive burden that you have to carry, 791 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 4: just like, yeah, who could be bothered and it's not 792 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 4: your responsibility. 793 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll get the professional's opinion in a second. 794 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:49,839 Speaker 2: But just. 795 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,319 Speaker 3: I would also be careful because if you are then 796 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 3: managing his finances and it is again applicable if the 797 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 3: roles were reversed, I feel like you're setting yourself up 798 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 3: for potentially a little bit of resent or a little 799 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 3: bit of oh yeah, that's a reading or you know. 800 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 3: I just think, as you said, g she mentioned that 801 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 3: there's been a bit of a strain. I don't necessarily 802 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 3: think that taking that responsibility will completely mitigate that strain. 803 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 3: Because if anything, she's now going to have more oversight 804 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,760 Speaker 3: into what's happening. And of course you never want someone 805 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 3: to feel as if they've got to turn around and 806 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 3: be like please, can I have my pocket money? And 807 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 3: it just it's really hard because obviously it's going to 808 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:36,840 Speaker 3: function differently with every relationship dynamic. But I foresee a 809 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 3: lot of pitfalls personally. But what do you think You 810 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 3: actually probably are the most qualified to speak on it, 811 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 3: which has been running your mouths back and forth. 812 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 5: Qualified. 813 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 2: It's not like this question is so much beyond just 814 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 2: like financial advice, you're asking for a relationship advice and 815 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 2: money to the factor, and from my perspective, if it 816 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 2: was anything else that you were taking over for them, 817 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 2: like it's grow up in a way, like I want 818 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 2: you to be responsible for your own wealth, for your 819 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,439 Speaker 2: own future. And Georgie, if I said to you, hey, 820 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 2: well can you be responsible for making sure I get 821 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:13,919 Speaker 2: out of bed every day and go to the gym 822 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 2: because I want to be fit, like it just feels 823 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 2: like that's not my responsibility or my burden to carry. 824 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 2: But I think it does really go back, like firstly, 825 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 2: it's a very kind thing to do, like if you've 826 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 2: got somebody struggling, and you're like, nah, I'm going to 827 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 2: be boots in it all. I will manage this for you. 828 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,799 Speaker 2: I've got you Like, that's an incredibly kind thing to do. 829 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 2: But then also it's kind of like, are we working 830 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 2: on it while this is happening or are you just 831 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 2: taking it over? Because if you're taking it over, I'd 832 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 2: probably suggest that you start looking into, well, where is 833 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 2: this coming from? Why aren't they good at money? Because 834 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 2: I don't believe that people are good or bad with money, 835 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 2: Like I just believe that people have their habits and 836 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 2: if you would like to change them, you're more than 837 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 2: welcome to and you absolutely have the power to do that. 838 00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 2: And we've seen that so many times in our community, 839 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,280 Speaker 2: people going from being in extreme debt and being extreme 840 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 2: spenders to being these epic savers like we see it 841 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 2: week in week out on our Money Diaries episode. It 842 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:13,719 Speaker 2: is not impossible to change your situation. And if you're like, oh, well, 843 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 2: I'm always going to be bad, let's look at your 844 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,280 Speaker 2: money story, let's look at what you can do. But guys, 845 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,840 Speaker 2: you've answered this like you've done a really good job 846 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 2: of you know, I guess prefacing it. But from my perspective, 847 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 2: let's understand our money stories. Let's make sure that you're 848 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,320 Speaker 2: giving yourself enough room to breathe. And if that's something 849 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 2: that is a really heavy burden, maybe put a time 850 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 2: limit on it. I'm going to take it off you 851 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 2: for six months, and then in six months like you're 852 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,919 Speaker 2: going to do it. But this is one of those 853 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 2: things where a couple of people have actually asked me 854 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,240 Speaker 2: about this product before, and that product is my budget. 855 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 2: And they are a company where you can go to 856 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 2: them and they'll do your budget for you and get 857 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 2: you out of debt and do whatever. And they do 858 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,319 Speaker 2: charge a fee for their services. Okay, understood. But the 859 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 2: thing I don't like is they don't teach you financial literacy. 860 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 2: Like the day you leave them, you're not in a better, 861 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 2: more educated position. You've just had your budget taken off 862 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,839 Speaker 2: you for a period of time. And yeah, it might 863 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 2: be squeaky clean and perfect and all your debts are 864 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,319 Speaker 2: paid and you're in this great position, but you're not 865 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 2: more financially literate than the day you went in their doors. 866 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,279 Speaker 2: So I just think that this kind of plays into 867 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,399 Speaker 2: that mentality of like you feel like you're saving them, 868 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 2: but you're not actually, in the long term giving them 869 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 2: the tools and the resources they need to create their 870 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 2: own success. And regardless of who you are in a relationship, 871 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 2: what gender you are, what view you have, like, I 872 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,839 Speaker 2: just think every single person should be able to stand 873 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 2: on their own two feet financially, and if you're just 874 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,800 Speaker 2: taking it from somebody, you're not giving them that grace 875 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 2: to learn that. If that makes sense. 876 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 5: What's that saying. 877 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 3: You give a man of fish, he eats for a day, 878 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 3: but you teach a man to fish, and he eats 879 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 3: for the rest of his life. I feel like that's 880 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 3: what you're saying. 881 00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you read the Bible. 882 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:03,280 Speaker 5: That's so good? Is that actually from the Bible? 883 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:04,280 Speaker 2: I believe? 884 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,320 Speaker 3: So I did not know that well, but yeah, I 885 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 3: think that that's a really relevant point. And as you 886 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 3: guys know, I like to catastrophize as an anxious really 887 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 3: and I would just tack on to the end of that, 888 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 3: if you guys were to ever break up, if you've 889 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 3: been managing everything for him for however long, and where 890 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 3: touch wood, you're going to die together, Like that's not 891 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 3: going to be a problem. But as not at the 892 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:31,840 Speaker 3: same time, that's more you're going to grow old hand 893 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,879 Speaker 3: in hand like in the notebook at the ripe old age. 894 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 2: Yes, that's the only option. 895 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, should something go wrong, as you know, 896 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 3: that's how I think he's arguably potentially going to be 897 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,240 Speaker 3: in a worse situation because he's become reliant on another person. 898 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 3: So I think you really nailed it, V And you said, 899 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,760 Speaker 3: it's so kind of this listener to want to help. 900 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 3: But maybe when you have that conversation you look at 901 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 3: approaching it around what options are there to further his 902 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 3: education and eventually lead him to a position where he 903 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 3: can comfortably be at least mostly independent. 904 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,760 Speaker 2: I agree. Is that our or we've got time for today? 905 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 1: Guys. 906 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:17,400 Speaker 2: She's on the relationship advice she is on the advice columns. 907 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 2: Will be Dolly Doctor next week for anybody who is 908 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 2: going to tune in then, But till then, I do 909 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 2: think that that is all we have time for today. 910 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,320 Speaker 2: So just before we head off, we'd like to acknowledge 911 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:32,280 Speaker 2: and pay respect to Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people's. 912 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,560 Speaker 2: They're the traditional custodians of the lands, the waterways and 913 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 2: the skies all across Australia.
