Uh yeah, I really like this. 60 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: I like us, And I mean that's biased because I 61 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 2: am us. I feel like other people could validate that though, 62 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 2: But let's get into the episode. I am very excited. 63 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 2: I feel like I've missed out on a lot.

Can you share with the team? 66 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: Of course I can. Okay, So these are a little 67 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: bit unhinged, and I just want to say I expected 68 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: to be completely hinged by the time I returned. 69 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 3: True, I was that was my goal. I was like, 70 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 3: when Victoria gets back, I'm going to impress her. 71 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: With another broke tip. Exactly exactly. I do want to say. 72 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: When I started the broke tips thing, I was like, 73 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 3: I'll share my own, which I quickly realized We're a 74 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 3: little bit too unhinged. So I'm going to go back 75 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 3: to that. Okay, But anyway, Love, you'll see what I mean. 76 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 3: So firstly, we have two from the community. The first 77 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 3: one comes from Chesney. I hope I'm saying that right, 78 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 3: Chesney says, And this is again something I have mentioned before, 79 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 3: but we have a new addition to what I mentioned. 80 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 3: So get a library card. You can get audiobooks for free. 81 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 3: We have mentioned Libby, but this is a new one 82 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 3: I had not mentioned before. I did not know about 83 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 3: borrow box. Has anyone heard of that before? 84 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: No, you're right, this is new Becky is good at 85 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 2: trying to recycle, but this is not recycled. When this 86 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: is new and fresh, it is reduced for use. 87 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 3: Recycle, they want to say, So borrowbox is I believe 88 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 3: it's essentially the same thing. You can also get fifteen 89 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 3: hours of audiobooks, of course for free with Spotify Premium. 90 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 3: You can also have more than one library card, so 91 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 3: if you join multiple times, if they don't have what 92 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 3: you want, you can ask like more libraries and more. 93 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: You could borrow cheese on the money from multiple places. 94 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: True true, get it back to back to back. 95 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 3: You could just read it over and over and over 96 00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,679 Speaker 3: again till it seems exactly. 97 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 2: I would like people to consume my books three out, 98 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 2: one more out very soon if you haven't pre ordered it. 99 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: It's out.

I didn't 110 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: realize to do that totally. Would have been nice for 111 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 2: you to give me that tip before I booked my. 112 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 4: Flights, literally me in America last year, paying like one 113 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 4: hundred and fifty dollars you don't wait baggage. 114 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 3: I was, oh, my goodness, because I'd stucked up on pumpkins. 115 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 2: It was, it's so funny, what we're not joking?

And 119 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 2: you do love a theme, just doesn't love a thing. 120 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: Jess is the theme, like she is the moment.

We were all very supportive of it, 122 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 2: but we all laughed a lot when the pumpkins cost 123 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 2: her a lot of money to get home. And that 124 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: wasn't just one hundred and fifty dollars back, it was 125 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty usd Oh, that's like three hundred 126 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 2: dollars something. Yeah, it was don't don't tell it. Sorry, 127 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 2: we decided not to work that out.

And this 133 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 3: is something I have always done, but I've never actually 134 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 3: acknowledged it until I saw this airline baggage broke tip 135 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 3: come through.

I am twenty two years old and I'm 387 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 6: a registered nurse on the Gold Coast. I finished UNI 388 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 6: last year, so I'm a graduate nurse now. I have 389 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 6: always been living paycheck to paycheck, like ever since I 390 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 6: was a teenager. Up until now, I've always had the 391 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 6: same amount of money in my bank account, which is 392 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 6: just wild considering I earn so much more now, but 393 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 6: also I do pay rent and bills and all those 394 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 6: things now too. But I just got to positive thirteen 395 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 6: thousand dollars as a form of inheritance, and I just 396 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 6: wanted some advice and tips to try and use this 397 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 6: money to try and get me ahead and make some 398 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 6: smart decisions with it. So thanks so much, guys, look 399 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 6: forward to hearing from you. 400 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 2: I feel like this is such a good question, and 401 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 2: given over the next ten years, we are going to 402 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 2: see the biggest transfer of intergenerational wealth this Unfortunately, it 403 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 2: might be a situation that a lot of us find 404 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 2: ourselves in. But I think the first thing I would 405 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 2: say when it comes to inheritance is you do not 406 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 2: need to make a decision right now, Like that money 407 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 2: could sit there for a year or more, literally earning 408 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 2: zero while you work out what you want to do. 409 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 2: I think so many times, especially when you have an inheritance, 410 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: you've got Uncle Bob over here giving you advice and 411 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 2: Arnie Jill saying, oh, you should be getting into the 412 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 2: property market, and someone else is suggesting crypto like, just 413 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 2: sit on it for a while and work out what 414 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 2: your values are and what you could be doing with it. 415 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: Thirteen thousand dollars is a lot of money. In fact, 416 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 2: if you invested it in the Australian share market, thirteen 417 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 2: grand invested today in thirty years is going to be 418 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 2: about two hundred and thirty thousand dollars in thirty years. 419 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 2: So that's a lot of money to be making. But 420 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 2: it also could turn into more in property, or it 421 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 2: could turn into more in crypto or more indifferent shares. 422 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 2: It's completely up to you. I mean, you might want 423 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 2: to use that inheritance money to go on a holiday. 424 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 2: You might go, you know what, this is the best 425 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 2: use of these funds, and that's completely up to you. 426 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 2: There's actually no right or wrong I think when we 427 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 2: get an inheritance, though there can actually and it didn't 428 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 2: sound like this in your tone of voice, but often 429 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 2: there's a certain level of guilt because someone has passed 430 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: away for an inheritance to have occurred, and that's not 431 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 2: a nice situation. And sometimes when you get an inheritance, 432 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 2: maybe you we're really close with the person, so you 433 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 2: want to make sure that you're doing the right thing 434 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 2: with the money and not disappointing them, or on the 435 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 2: flip side, you might not have been close, and you go, 436 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, this person that should have been close 437 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 2: to me and wasn't. We had a bit of a 438 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 2: disjointed relationship has passed away and I've got money and 439 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 2: now I feel guilty for even having it in the 440 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,719 Speaker 2: first place because we didn't have a good relationship. So 441 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 2: money in these circumstances is really fickle, and I think 442 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 2: it's important for you to take the time to work 443 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 2: out what you want to do with it and work 444 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 2: through that guilt, because you shouldn't feel guilty at the 445 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 2: end of the day. That money is for you and 446 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 2: it is to put you in the best possible position. 447 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 2: So what would you like to do with it. There's 448 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,719 Speaker 2: no you should invest it or you should do this. 449 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,959 Speaker 2: The second someone tries to give you advice, disregard it, 450 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 2: or take it on with a grain of salt and 451 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 2: put it to the side and wait, because there's always, 452 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 2: always always going to be another opportunity, is going to 453 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 2: be something else to invest in. You don't need to 454 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 2: jump on the next investing trend, because I promise if 455 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 2: it is a trend right now, it's not going to 456 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 2: put you in the best possible position. We need to 457 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 2: be thinking long term. But also I want to give 458 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 2: you permission to do whatever you want with that money, 459 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 2: because it's up to you. What I want you to do, though, 460 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 2: is make an educated decision. Have you thought about investing? 461 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 2: Have you thought about property? Have you thought about date reduction? 462 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 2: Have you thought about, you know, an asset. Maybe you 463 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 2: want to buy a car. Maybe you want to invest 464 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 2: it in something that is more sentimental. It might be 465 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 2: a piece of art, it might be literally anything. But 466 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 2: there is no right and no wrong when it comes 467 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 2: to an inheritance. But I guess that's a good question, Jess, 468 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 2: if you came into thirteen grand tomorrow, what would you 469 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 2: do with it? I feel like I'd be boring and 470 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 2: I would put it in my house deposit. Would you? 471 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 2: I mean I thought she would have said, I'm gonna 472 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 2: go buy a Snell double flap. 473 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, that it's a very expensive, very beautiful bag, like 474 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 4: very okay, it would take up it's almost all of 475 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 4: It's like it's everyone has that. Oh you don't because 476 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 4: you're not materialistic. I'm feeling like a little materialistic shit. 477 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 2: You don't have to worry this side of the table. 478 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 2: Quite materialistic, willing to work for it, absolutely, but also 479 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 2: handbags are important to us. Yeah, sorry, not sorry, it's. 480 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 4: Like my dream handbag. But like they're literally they've it's 481 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 4: one of those things. They've gone up and up and. 482 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 2: Up in price. They're literally like ten thousand. To be honest, 483 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 2: they're a very good investment. It's like investing in Burkins. 484 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 2: In Burkins, which are by the brand MS I think 485 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 2: have a forty seven percent return. 486 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 4: If you don't use the bag, I'd probably buy my 487 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 4: second hand. Like if that like, you. 488 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 2: Wouldn't be a little fruit. 489 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 3: If you're spending that much, you may as well get 490 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 3: it full price, is what I'm thinking. 491 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. 492 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 2: We'll see if you buy a Burkins second hand, it's 493 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 2: much more expensive because they're so hard to get in store. 494 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 2: In store, you could be spending like fifteen thousand dollars 495 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 2: on a Burken, but second hand twenty five thousand plus. 496 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 2: Isn't that wild to think that a handbag is worth 497 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 2: that much? Yeah, that's wild. What would you do with 498 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 2: thirteen grand? And if you have thirteen grand in your 499 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 2: hot little hands tomorrow, you know. 500 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 3: It's just funny because when I was made redundant, as 501 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 3: everyone knows, because I went shut up about it. 502 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 2: I was literally on about it. It's not like it's 503 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 2: like your livelihood or that's so true. It's not a deal. 504 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 3: I was not even like it's impacting your income was 505 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 3: given exactly thirteen thousand. Yeah, I was so, But that's 506 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 3: a different story. It is different. But I'm thinking, like, 507 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 3: if I still had a regular income with that thirteen thousand, 508 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 3: I probably would do things that I can't. I probably 509 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 3: could do now, but I just like, I'm really bad 510 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 3: with my money still, but I would like get my 511 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 3: car fixed, get a new phone my phone's broken, Like, 512 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 3: do all the things I need to do just to 513 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 3: feel like my day to day isn't super Yeah, exactly, 514 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 3: Like I can literally hear my clutch slipping as I 515 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 3: drive to work every morning. 516 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 2: I'm like, I would do those kind of things. It 517 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 2: must be nice to be able to drive manual. Can't 518 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 2: do that. I can teach you. If you like olding 519 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 2: your budget, you teach me to drive manual perfect. It's 520 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 2: actually a deal. Do we trust Bex driving? Yeah? Don't 521 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 2: trust her? 522 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:05,239 Speaker 3: Flight tips trusted, thank you, But no, I think like 523 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 3: after all those things are done, I would then maybe 524 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 3: just sit on it until I probably wouldn't invest it yet, 525 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 3: I'd be like, I'll sit on it, put it in 526 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 3: an I'd start an emergency fund. 527 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 2: Finally, that would probably be that Yeah, you know what 528 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 2: I mean? 529 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like personally, so get all those things that 530 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 3: take care of the rest will go into emergency funds. 531 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 2: So I feel secure. But see what that shows us 532 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 2: that we're all entirely different and therefore can't answer that 533 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 2: question directly for you. But what we can say is 534 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 2: we want you to be educated to make the decision 535 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 2: that is right for you. We've done episodes on inheritance before. 536 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 2: We've done episodes on coming into a sum of money 537 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,239 Speaker 2: and how to make decisions around that. But there's no 538 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 2: one size fits all approached, and I think that's kind 539 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 2: of the outcome here. But also the driver behind she's 540 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 2: on the money, not lump sums of income. I wish 541 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 2: we could that could be the driver for everybody, but 542 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 2: more giving you the education you deserve to make the 543 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 2: right decision in situations like this. 544 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, and if you want to find that episode, you 545 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 4: can search up on spotfy O Apple. Its how to 546 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 4: Treat Inheritance with the Respective Deserves And it's a really 547 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 4: good episode. 548 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 2: All right, Let's move on because this week you guys 549 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 2: slid into our DMS about something a little bit I 550 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 2: would say spicy, because it can be a thickle topic 551 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 2: to discuss. This week, we're talking about sharing rent and 552 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 2: bills with a partner. So let me read out the 553 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 2: DM re received. Hi, she's on the money. I just 554 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 2: moved in with my new partner. We started our relationship 555 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 2: quite recently and soon moved in together. I did that too, 556 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 2: so like no judgment based. I live in a two 557 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 2: bedroom apartment and he moved in with just his personal stuff. 558 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 2: He didn't ring anything for the house, as we already 559 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 2: have a fully furnished place. We split rent fifty to fifty. 560 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 2: I'm starting to feel like this might be quite unfair, 561 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 2: as I've contributed to so much cool stuff for the 562 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 2: apartment and he gets to enjoy all of that for 563 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 2: the same price that I'm paying. We also share grocery 564 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 2: bills fifty to fifty, but he eats so much. He 565 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 2: buys a lot of expensive things that I don't consume, 566 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 2: such as the best branded peanut butter, so much meat. 567 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 2: He goes to them a lot, and I feel like 568 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 2: sharing the bills equally will also be unfair for me 569 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 2: in the long run. However, I'm afraid I'm gonna sound 570 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 2: stingy about bringing up the rent and grocery bills situation. 571 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 2: I'm on a seventy thousand dollars salary and my budget 572 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 2: is quite tight at the moment. Guys, what do we 573 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 2: think about this situation? 574 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 3: I think, furniture wise, it's still all your stuff. It's 575 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 3: kind of like if you move into a sharehouse and 576 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 3: like it's already furnished and you still get to enjoy 577 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 3: all the communal spaces. 578 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they take it if they leave. 579 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 3: And they take it if they leave exactly, and if 580 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 3: you if it gets damaged in the meantime, like maybe 581 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 3: you spilt some red wine, like you pay for that. 582 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 3: Like so if anything is damaged, like obviously he will 583 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 3: kind of bear the financial burden. 584 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 2: Of that, but like, that's still all your stuff. I 585 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 2: would say not to worry about that. Yeah, I personally 586 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 2: wouldn't worry about that. I mean, I feel like maybe 587 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 2: this is an extension of you already feeling like there's 588 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 2: some inequity in the relationship, and so maybe that's a projection. 589 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 2: But also being like, oh, I've got cool stuff, in 590 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,719 Speaker 2: the apartment, okay, Like you're gonna get rid of it 591 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 2: so that someone else can't enjoy it, At which point 592 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 2: I'm a bit confused as to why you wouldn't want 593 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 2: your partner to enjoy your stuff too, Like, I don't know, 594 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 2: it's a bit. 595 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 4: It's like he could have bought four but you already 596 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 4: had foks, Like why would he bring more forwards? 597 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 2: And why would he then pay because you already had forks? Yeah, Like, 598 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 2: don't get me wrong. It could be bigger things like 599 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 2: she's got like some fancy gaming system or something. I 600 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 2: don't know. I feel like your stuff was already in 601 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 2: the house. You could negotiate and be like, oh, I 602 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 2: actually really want a new couch, We're going to go 603 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 2: fifty to fifty or I'd like that to be your contribution, 604 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 2: because there might be some things that you want to 605 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 2: upgrade or change. But like, if it's not broke, why 606 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 2: fix it. 607 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 4: It's not something that you would pay more rent for. 608 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 4: Like it doesn't really make sense totally. 609 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 2: But now the food situational food and the rent switch, Yes, 610 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 2: let's talk through that. Yes, are you planning on moving 611 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 2: in with your girlfriend Beck? 612 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 3: She's a bit of a slow mover. I was like, what, 613 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 3: when's this gonna happen? She's like maybe like five six years? 614 00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 3: Like see how we go? 615 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 2: Se what that is not a female same sex couple relationship? 616 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 2: Were usually Yeah, you usually you ho it and you've 617 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,479 Speaker 2: moved point in two seconds and you're married next week exactly. 618 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 2: I'm not her talk. I will have a chat to 619 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 2: her because I'm ready right now. Okay, if you're ready 620 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 2: right now? How you splitting it? I think this is 621 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 2: the thing. 622 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 3: If I'm moving in with her or she's moving in 623 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 3: with me, I'm thinking, we just well, regardless whether we 624 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 3: find a new place or moving in with each other, 625 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 3: split the rent down the middle, split the utilities down 626 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 3: the middle, unless one of us works from home. 627 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 2: In that case we kind of have a conversation. 628 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 3: Sure, but food wise, it would be really tricky if 629 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 3: you're I guess one of you is eating a lot 630 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 3: more or has like different dietary requirements. I guess it's 631 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 3: easy for me to say because we kind of both 632 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 3: have the same dietrees and we both you know, eat 633 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 3: about the same amount. 634 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 2: Doesn't look like it, but we do. 635 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 3: And then I would say, like, you know, we kind 636 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 3: of go half and half, like she'll buy dinner one 637 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 3: I'll buy a dinner the other night. But in this situation, 638 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 3: because one of them is eating a significant amount more 639 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 3: than the other, like whether that's meat and. 640 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 2: I'm you know, meat, it's quite expensive. 641 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 3: I would literally just have a conversation about that and 642 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 3: be like, hey, I'm going to buy dinners for us, 643 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 3: like the breakfast and lunches. 644 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 2: We can like take additional stuff. Do you want to 645 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 2: just pick that up? 646 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 3: Exactly your additional stuff Like here I'm cooking like a 647 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 3: chicken pesto or something like that. Like and if he's like, oh, 648 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 3: that's not enough protein for me, Hey, any additional you 649 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 3: just grab for yourself. But like I'm just this is 650 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 3: what I've got in the pantry, is what I'm making. 651 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,239 Speaker 2: And then yeah, kind of find a way. 652 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 3: But I know what you mean, Like you do want 653 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 3: to sound stingy. It is quite new still, as they mentioned, 654 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 3: and so it is a real tricky one. But I 655 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 3: would say, as it always comes down to communication is key. 656 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 2: Wow, I didn't see that coming, Jess. How do you 657 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 2: manage it? 658 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 4: I agree, like we split everything fifty to fifty, my 659 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 4: partner and I will in terms of like rent groceries 660 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 4: and bills and stuff. 661 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 2: But if like you're feeling like there's. 662 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 4: A lot of inequity, I think you know, similar to you, 663 00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 4: My partner and I have pretty comparable in terms of 664 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 4: what we consume. I mean I work from homes. If anything, 665 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 4: I guess I'm chewing through electricity, but. 666 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 2: Hard money for you, Yes, let's not mention it. Hope 667 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 2: you're not listening, James. Yeh, keep that on the downlight. 668 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 4: No, But I think, like, if it's something that stresses 669 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 4: you out, And also I guess the salary thing, Like 670 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 4: she's mentioned she's on seventy thousand and she feels like 671 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 4: that's putting her on a tight budget. Is your partner 672 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 4: earning significantly more? 673 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 2: If that's the. 674 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 4: Case, maybe look at an equity split we've spoken about before, Like, yeah. 675 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 2: I was about to go, hey, can we rewind a 676 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 2: little bit because Jess has been on the show a 677 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 2: number of years now, and you guys might know that 678 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 2: Jess's partner used to study and we've spoken about it 679 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 2: publicly before on the show. Because Jess, you haven't always 680 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 2: split things fifty to fifty, have you? No? 681 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 4: We our rent at one point was split I paid 682 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 4: more because the place that we lived, you know, I 683 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 4: wanted more asthetic things. 684 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 2: He would live in a shock and couldn't. 685 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 4: Care less or men like that, and I was like, no, no, 686 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 4: like I need you and for work as well as 687 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 4: like I need like nice lighting because that's her content. 688 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, just the simple things. 689 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 4: So I said I was happy to pay more because 690 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 4: I was like, well, I earn more and the place 691 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 4: that we would rent would be more expensive based on 692 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 4: what I want. So to me, I was like, that 693 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 4: seems reasonable, Like I'm happy to pay more rent totally. 694 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 4: And then obviously now he has a full time job, 695 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 4: he's graduated, and we've gone to fifty to fifty and 696 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 4: that works for us. You know, it's different for everybody, 697 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 4: I guess. But if this is something that our listener 698 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 4: is feeling pressured about, like, that's a great and very 699 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 4: reasonable conversation I think to have. 700 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 2: And that's where the conversation comes down to equity versus 701 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 2: equality in relationships, Like there is a difference between the two, 702 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 2: and splitting fifty to fifty might make sense for you guys, 703 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 2: because you're basically on the same page, earn very very 704 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 2: similar amounts, and you can call it a day, like 705 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 2: you and your partner are beck Yeah, but like, let's 706 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 2: go really dramatic for a hot sekend. If your partner 707 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 2: owns three hundred thousand dollars and your own fifty thousand dollars, 708 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 2: is that actually fair to split things fifty to fifty 709 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 2: and expect you to live up to the lifestyle of 710 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 2: your partner, or even if your partner's willing to live 711 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 2: on that fifty thousand dollar lifestyle, If and though they're 712 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 2: earning three hundred thousand dollars, is that fair that they 713 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 2: have so much more savings capacity in terms of percentage 714 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 2: than you when you know you're probably scraping by, Like 715 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 2: in this economy, you would absolutely be scraping by on 716 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 2: that salary trying to keep up. So I think it's 717 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 2: important to talk about you know, it's very normal to 718 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 2: want to split based on income, and so what we 719 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 2: haven't learned in that story or in that message is well, 720 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 2: how much does your partner earn? That should actually come 721 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 2: into the conversation. Are you not wanting to split it 722 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 2: because you're fifty to fifty and you know you earn 723 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 2: similar amounts and therefore you know he's actually just spending 724 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 2: more great have that conversation, but also is he earning 725 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 2: significantly more? And we need to have an equity conversation 726 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 2: about splitting it differently, because what's fair inside a relationship 727 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 2: doesn't mean dollar for dollar, and I think that sometimes 728 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 2: we just assume that because Beck paid a dollar, I 729 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 2: should pay a dollar. But it's different in a friendship 730 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 2: than it is inside a relationship because I'm you moved 731 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 2: in with them because you see a long term sitch happening. Yeah, 732 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 2: Like you're not moving in with somebody hopefully because you're like, ah, 733 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 2: let's move in with Jess right now, break up next year, yeah, Jess, Like, 734 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 2: let's just keep everything super separate and not get our 735 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 2: lives intertwined, like you are intertwining your lives because you're 736 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 2: moving in together. So I feel like these conversations need 737 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 2: to become second nature, especially now before life becomes more complicated, 738 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,839 Speaker 2: before you're negotiating who's picking nappies up and who's going 739 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 2: to be paying for the mortgage and where the offset 740 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 2: account is sitting if those are goals of yours in 741 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 2: the future. So I think it's really important to talk 742 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 2: about sharing rent and bills with a partner and you 743 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 2: shouldn't feel bad because you know what, you might be humbled. 744 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 2: They might turn around and go, well, Beck, I know 745 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 2: that you are saying that I should be spending less 746 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 2: on meat. Can you stop putting all your makeup into 747 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 2: the daily expenses categories? You know, every time we go, 748 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 2: you're picking stuff up the supermarket, spending an extra fifty bucks? Like, 749 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 2: so I think we should also look at well, are 750 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 2: you spending quote your money collectively together? And that fifty 751 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 2: to fifty might actually be distributed differently. Yes, you might 752 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 2: be tunnel visioned and only seeing the meet Is there 753 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 2: something of yours that maybe evens it out? And you 754 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 2: might go, oh, actually, I might not say anything because 755 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 2: it's actually working out well and maybe he's thought of 756 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 2: it as well, or is it actually not even? And 757 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 2: we need to have this conversation. 758 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 4: If anything like the longer you live with someone, whether 759 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,479 Speaker 4: like regardless of how much or how little you share 760 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 4: your expenses, you need to be able to have the conversation, 761 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,879 Speaker 4: like it's a skill really to be able to talk 762 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 4: to them comfortably and openly. 763 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 2: And so it starts with things like this. And if 764 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,919 Speaker 2: you can't talk about things like this, as money gets 765 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 2: more complicated, It will get harder and harder to start 766 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 2: those money conversations. So the searcher, the better. My friends, 767 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 2: what did everybody else say? So we obviously took this 768 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,479 Speaker 2: to the community. It's one of my favorite things. We said, 769 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 2: tell us your two cents, and obviously you did. Definitely 770 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 2: tell us your two cents. Couple said it's to depend 771 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 2: on income. I'm definitely all for equity in terms of 772 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 2: rent if you have different salaries, But the furniture does 773 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 2: seem a little extreme. Someone said, a fifty to fifty 774 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 2: grocery split feels like you're funding his hobby, not just 775 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 2: the essentials. That's true, true, that's fair. Totally agree that 776 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 2: she shouldn't have to pay more for groceries if he's 777 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,399 Speaker 2: eating more. A good conversation to have. Someone said, if 778 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 2: you're really worried about this stuff, are you actually ready 779 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,320 Speaker 2: to live with someone else? Well, now that's a good question. 780 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 2: You don't want to share your expensive couch? 781 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 1: Well? 782 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, someone else said, this stuff should have been discussed 783 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 2: before moving in together. Like, totally, I totally understand that. 784 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 2: But you know what, we can't think of everything now, Yes, 785 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 2: do you know what? Sometimes I really hate when people 786 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 2: are like, well you should have done it differently, that 787 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,400 Speaker 2: doesn't happen. Oh yeah, really helpful for it, ex thanks 788 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 2: for that, But I'm here now, So where's the advice 789 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 2: for now exactly? I feel like I've been getting really 790 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 2: up and ante on and not replying or anything, but 791 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 2: like seeing lots of like Facebook posts where people are 792 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 2: asking for advice and people are jumping in being like, 793 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 2: well you shouldn't have done it to begin with. I'm like, Susan, 794 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 2: we're here now, Like, just let it be, let it be, 795 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,760 Speaker 2: sit down. Have you got advice or you're just being 796 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 2: hag so annoyed. I have way less patience people who 797 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 2: say becoming a parent gives you like a beautiful level 798 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 2: of patience, Denada, mine's worse. Some of you said, my 799 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 2: partner pays more because he earns significantly more than me. 800 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 2: They need to have that chat, which is exactly what 801 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 2: we've said. Someone said, maybe having a joint account for 802 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 2: every joint expense and then separate everything else for personal 803 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 2: like his meat consumption. Someone said, same as me, my 804 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 2: partner eats a lot more, but I have some expensive 805 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 2: hobbies too. I just let it go. So I think 806 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,320 Speaker 2: that's important to kind of balance it out, as I said, 807 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 2: maybe you're picking up some stuff, or maybe he goes well, actually, Jess, 808 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 2: like you get all of those expensive ice creams and 809 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 2: you say that I can have them, but I never 810 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 2: eat them because I don't like them. Even out I'm 811 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 2: not saying it will. That's why you have the trouble. 812 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 2: You always want to have an open mind. Someone said, 813 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 2: make sure that they understand a partnership. You're on the 814 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 2: same team. One of you shouldn't be struggling, so speak up. Yeah, 815 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 2: which I think is a good place to leave what 816 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 2: your two cents were. We did ask a few other questions, 817 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,280 Speaker 2: and we said, if this was you, would you expect 818 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 2: your partner to pay more rent because the place is furnished, 819 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 2: And nineteen percent of you said yes, and eighty one 820 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 2: percent of you said absolutely not. I wouldn't care. I'm 821 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 2: just surprised about higher than I thought it would be. 822 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 2: But I was really surprised about that. And then someone said, 823 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 2: if you live with your partner, how do you split 824 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 2: your groceries? Fifty seven percent of you split it fifty 825 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 2: to fifty and forty three percent of you split the 826 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,279 Speaker 2: basics and pay for other items. Separately, So I feel 827 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 2: like that's some good insight as well.
