Speaker 6: can just like pop in and sign one every now

Speaker 8: Yeah, we can have like Britta memoir that's not yours.
Speaker 5: Well, she's out of stake in this. This is important
Speaker 5: to me as well. She's my people. Exactly. How's your
Speaker 5: week been? Apart from just absolutely chaos with all the
Speaker 5: book stuff.
Speaker 2: It's been really good.
Speaker 8: We went out on the weekend and then basically wrote
Speaker 8: ourselves off after that and that was like, let's go
Speaker 8: celebrate that. I was like, I'm dead for this, but
Speaker 8: it was really nice, and like Melbourne's so beautiful, Like, yeah,
Speaker 8: definitely the prettiest city.
Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna get rid for that.
Speaker 8: I think, So your CBD is definitely prettier than we're biased.
Speaker 6: But I think Melbourne's the best city in the world.
Speaker 6: And I mean that least agreed like six years in
Speaker 6: a row, so exactly exactly, little city.
Speaker 5: How we're humble, Absolutely, it's not humble.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, my week has been a series of unfortunate events,
Speaker 4: but it's also been like really good in a funny way,
Speaker 4: like my car was broken into and my partner's laptop
Speaker 4: was stolen, just like a few and so it's just
Speaker 4: been like a hectic few days, just like trying to
Speaker 4: suss out without like it's kind of like it's good.
Speaker 4: The silver lining is that I'm getting work. I'm getting
Speaker 4: freelance work, which means that I need a laptop, which
Speaker 4: also means that I must find a laptop. But it's
Speaker 4: all sorted. It always works itself out in a way,
Speaker 4: doesn't it. I guess my only the only uncomfortable thing
Speaker 4: in the pit of my stomach is that, like, there
Speaker 4: are people out there that have my girlfriend's laptop and
Speaker 4: no one's doing anything about it. They're just like getting
Speaker 4: away with it. Yeah, I get like they have justice.
Speaker 4: There's a justice.
Speaker 5: This is your vigilante. Error become a vigilante after this,
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 4: I literally went to the place, because you know, you
Speaker 4: can track it with your friend, and so I went
Speaker 4: to the place.
Speaker 5: I went to the address. It was a car wash.
Speaker 4: So I was like, Okay, I can't do much here,
Speaker 4: but it's basically I think we do need to take
Speaker 4: the work. It Still it's not trackable anymore, but it
Speaker 4: was on for that day, like watching it, like and
Speaker 4: I was like, someone do something.
Speaker 8: My brother did that and he showed up to the
Speaker 8: person's house and he was like cause it was some
Speaker 8: little sixteen year old yeah phone, and he was like,
Speaker 8: you've got my phone. And my boyfriend's brother was like
Speaker 8: six foot five and he was like, you got my phone.
Speaker 8: He was like no, no, no, and he was like,
Speaker 8: my phone is here.
Speaker 5: Just go get it.
Speaker 8: And then this angel like went up the day has
Speaker 8: got it and I had to give it back and I
Speaker 8: was like I'm embarrassing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh my god. It was so funny.
Speaker 8: But yeah, my mum also did it. She like went
Speaker 8: and got her like Apple Watch, it's the best feature.
Speaker 8: If you don't have to find my phone on you
Speaker 8: need to.
Speaker 5: Yeah, totally.
Speaker 6: People listened to the show, not that I did that
Speaker 6: with an uber, Like I left my phone in the
Speaker 6: uber and they tried to say that they didn't have it,
Speaker 6: and so I drove. I tracked it, drove like all
Speaker 6: over the place to find this thing. Knocked on this
Speaker 6: guy's window. He was about to pull out of a
Speaker 6: KFC and I blocked him in with and like knocked
Speaker 6: on the window and he rolled and he was so
Speaker 6: confused he did not recognize me. I was like, Hi, like,
Speaker 6: I'm the person who spoke to yesterday. You said you
Speaker 6: were going to bring my phone back. You never did
Speaker 6: and he was like, oh, the phone, the phone. I
Speaker 6: was like, I know that you have my phone in there,
Speaker 6: and he literally just was like okay, and like you
Speaker 6: just did not know what to do, which, in hindsight
Speaker 6: so dangerous.
Speaker 5: But I felt like I got it.
Speaker 2: Did you go by yourself?
Speaker 5: I did?
Speaker 7: I done that.
Speaker 4: I was at least I felt safe in a public
Speaker 4: k I have never felt safe for anywhere in the
Speaker 4: world than in a KFC parking lot.
Speaker 5: Face, I'm so proud of you. That's bad us. But
Speaker 5: if I had a car wash, there would have been in
Speaker 5: a car.
Speaker 6: So you should get the car wash camera footage because
Speaker 6: maybe you'll be able to identify the current.
Speaker 5: Take it to the vigilante.
Speaker 6: That's a great idea if anyone needs something sorted, I
Speaker 6: feel like everyone at this table are just the people
Speaker 6: to make it.
Speaker 5: Actually, yes, totally, But enough about me. How was your week?
Speaker 5: It was good.
Speaker 6: I chipped something off my bucket list this week. I
Speaker 6: went to Laru, which was incredible. We Roset amazing experience.
Speaker 6: I was so lucky. Version of just launched flats and
Speaker 6: I got invited to go to celebrate, and it was
Speaker 6: just I'm not a super spiritual person, it's not really
Speaker 6: who I am, but there was some kind of energy
Speaker 6: there that just was unlike anything I've ever experienced before.
Speaker 6: It was incredible, and it's something I wanted to do
Speaker 6: since I was a kid and had just never had
Speaker 6: the opportunity to. So I had the best week ever
Speaker 6: because I you know, when you do something that you've
Speaker 6: always wanted to, you just go, oh my god, this
Speaker 6: is what life.
Speaker 5: Is for you feel like bec on a rug living
Speaker 5: my life.
Speaker 6: Because you stand next toy and it's so it's bigger
Speaker 6: than the Eiffel Tower or taller than the Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 6: The amount of things that I learned that I didn't
Speaker 6: know was crazy. I had a little of an existential
Speaker 6: like out of forty moment where I was like, I
Speaker 6: am just in a meeba on the life.
Speaker 5: That was good to have Kitty grounded.
Speaker 2: I love when you have this beck on the Rock week,
Speaker 2: when it's always.
Speaker 8: At the time when like I'm supposed to be happy
Speaker 8: with my period, it's like the week after and I'm like, ah,
Speaker 8: we're just on the big floating rock, and then like
Speaker 8: two weeks are like everything zags the whole.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, anyone who following me on Instagram got absolutely
Speaker 6: spammed this week, and I'm really sorry.
Speaker 5: But also I'm not so through you.
Speaker 6: But I do have some excellent money wins to share
Speaker 6: with everybody, because I obviously was still kicking around in
Speaker 6: the group despite being away. Please let me share with
Speaker 6: you guys what I pulled out. So firstly, I'm going
Speaker 6: to start with a loss, but it's in my mind
Speaker 6: still a win from Rochelle. She said, I used my
Speaker 6: emergency account for the first time ever. I had set
Speaker 6: it up at the start of the year, and I
Speaker 6: had slowly accumulated money. I just went to the dentist
Speaker 6: after a little scare, and I was proud to note
Speaker 6: that I didn't have to scramble for money when I
Speaker 6: was told the cost. I also have no guilt because
Speaker 6: that's what the money is for what a good feeling.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say that's a loss at all.
Speaker 6: It's a win because you were prepared, well done, Rochelle.
Speaker 6: It's such a good feeling.
Speaker 2: And you went to the dentist.
Speaker 6: That's how enough of conversation in our workplace, because two
Speaker 6: of us are people who have been very, very scared
Speaker 6: that in just for a long time and left it
Speaker 6: kind of an arguably disgusting amount of years. And it's
Speaker 6: like one of those things where it's like you go
Speaker 6: and you get there and you get it done, and
Speaker 6: if you find a good dentist, you're, oh, it's actually
Speaker 6: not that bad. But it's the mental hurdle. Isn't it
Speaker 6: very expensive?
Speaker 8: There's actually a place called I don't know if it's
Speaker 8: there's some in New South Wales. I'm sure there should
Speaker 8: be some in melbournecause I think there's some in Brisbane.
Speaker 8: But it's called Dentist or Dental ninety nine and it's
Speaker 8: like a ninety nine dollars dentist.
Speaker 2: So for like a check up and clean it costs
Speaker 2: maybe they should be a money whin.
Speaker 8: It's like ninety nine dollars and then for like a
Speaker 8: lot of their other treatments, it is quite on the
Speaker 8: audordable side of the spectrum.
Speaker 5: That's awesome.
Speaker 8: Their prices may have gone up a little bit inflation vibes. Yeah,
Speaker 8: but like I went and I think I had to
Speaker 8: have a check up, and I had to have like
Speaker 8: one feeling because I left it a discuss team out. Yeah,
Speaker 8: and yeah, I think it was like two hundred bucks,
Speaker 8: which I was like, that's awesome.
Speaker 2: It was like a bit of a relief.
Speaker 6: Yeah, hopefully that's the money win for somebody. Yeah, that's incredible. Next,
Speaker 6: I've got one from Courtney who said she had five
Speaker 6: thousand dollars of fines wiped after applying through the special
Speaker 6: Circumstances route. She said there was a lot of mucking around,
Speaker 6: but after four very long months she heard back that
Speaker 6: the entire debt had been cleared.
Speaker 5: Sick, and she said she's so happy.
Speaker 6: She advocated herself that one's for you, and you're ten
Speaker 6: thousand of parking.
Speaker 5: Fine, I know I'm thinking about that as you're saying that,
Speaker 5: But I like to try once.
Speaker 4: We would just try again, they said, So we can't
Speaker 4: wipe it, but there's like nine thousand dollars worth of
Speaker 4: finds it.
Speaker 5: But I just like, am I just try? Where are
Speaker 5: we parking? Got anywhere.
Speaker 3: Anywhere?
Speaker 5: All the time?
Speaker 6: Yeah, basically, so you never know if you don't give
Speaker 6: it a go. Exactly took her ages, but it worked out.
Speaker 6: That's awesome, Courtney. Next, I've got a win from Sarah,
Speaker 6: who said she thought her husband needed brand new headphone,
Speaker 6: but instead he just needed new headphone covers. She saved
Speaker 6: herself around two hundred and thirty dollars just by buying
Speaker 6: like a couple of little foamy things for his birthday.
Speaker 5: Oh nice.
Speaker 6: You can also wash them a lot of the time,
Speaker 6: depending what they are.
Speaker 1: Like.
Speaker 6: I've seen people talking about the AirPod maxes and how
Speaker 6: they get growth. You can wash those, but yeah, apparently eBay,
Speaker 6: you can grab yourself some new little foami inserts and
Speaker 6: turn your crusty, dusty old one who how good, into something.
Speaker 5: A little fresher.
Speaker 6: And then, lastly, for this week, I've got a money
Speaker 6: win from Hayley, who said she was comparing travel insurances
Speaker 6: and she read the pds and realized that one company
Speaker 6: had a much higher limit for phones than the other
Speaker 6: company that she was looking into. She said the lower
Speaker 6: one was only one thousand dollars, which doesn't even cover
Speaker 6: the cost of an iPhone these days. So she rang
Speaker 6: the insurance which had a much higher level of cover
Speaker 6: and asked if they could do anything for her. They
Speaker 6: dropped it by thirty five percent from four hundred and
Speaker 6: fifty to two hundred and ninety. And so what was
Speaker 6: the most expensive and comprehensive cover came the most affordable.
Speaker 6: Oh sick, I didn't even know that you could do that.
Speaker 6: You can bring around and get them to drop the
Speaker 6: pass on it. So do your research. She said, it
Speaker 6: pays to read the fine print, and I couldn't agree more.
Speaker 5: That's really really good. Now, not to put you guys
Speaker 5: on the spot.
Speaker 6: I know you you brought some last time, but do
Speaker 6: you have any fresh money wins or losses to share
Speaker 6: with everybody?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 7: My money win was initially a money loss as well.
Speaker 5: Oh a journey. We love that.
Speaker 7: And it's a reminder to always look at your recurring bills.
Speaker 7: I don't know if anybody is like me, but whenever,
Speaker 7: like the electricity bill comes, they're like, oh, I know
Speaker 7: I have to pay it, but I just don't even want.
Speaker 5: To look at it or look at the details. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'll just see how much and I'll just pay it.
Speaker 5: I don't even like question it.
Speaker 7: And then my partner and I knew that our rates
Speaker 7: had gone up, but we were like, surely not by
Speaker 7: this much. But we paid the first quarter Anyway, then
Speaker 7: it happened again and it was even more expensive, and
Speaker 7: we were like, no way. So we called our provider
Speaker 7: and they were like, oh, sorry, we've been overcharging you
Speaker 7: crazy amounts for the last two quarters. And because we
Speaker 7: followed it up, we got an eight hundred.
Speaker 6: Dollars you would have just kept.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Oh my god.
Speaker 6: The corporations truly just don't care. I know about the
Speaker 6: little man at all. It's the lazy tax. It completely is.
Speaker 6: It's hard with electricity and stuff because you go, oh, like,
Speaker 6: how do you quantify that? Yeah you, oh, winter, I
Speaker 6: had the heater on. Summer I had the air got on.
Speaker 5: Exactly.
Speaker 7: Well that's kind of what we were thinking. And then
Speaker 7: we were like there's no way. Yeah, because we had
Speaker 7: made a real conscious effort not to use as much electricity,
Speaker 7: and we were like, something has gone wrong.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but yeah, they're not going to call you being
Speaker 5: like oopsie. No, never in history ever has a wait
Speaker 5: for you to make that call. So make the call.
Speaker 5: Well done, good advice, picking.
Speaker 2: Up the phone.
Speaker 5: It's really really good.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 8: So in my early twenties, I was like, why would
Speaker 8: I use a tax agent? Because tax time and a
Speaker 8: financial year and we're all like, yeah, tax return, right.
Speaker 8: I never used a tax accountant until maybe like four
Speaker 8: years ago. I'm gonna say, give or take little asterix.
Speaker 8: I can't remember anything. However, we did a mid year
Speaker 8: money reset episode on Two Broke Chicks and we pulled
Speaker 8: in this statistic, which I was like, this has just
Speaker 8: justified tax accountants for me for the rest of my life. So,
Speaker 8: on average, you get a bigger tax refund if you
Speaker 8: use an accountant. So, according to hr Bloc who did
Speaker 8: their own tax, people who did their own tax received
Speaker 8: a refund of two thousand, five hundred and seventy six
Speaker 8: on average in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: However, people who.
Speaker 8: Used a tax agent received an average of three thousand,
Speaker 8: five hundred and fifty. So the average cost of a
Speaker 8: tax agent in New South Wales ranges from one hundred
Speaker 8: and two hundred and sixty. So using this example, even
Speaker 8: if you paid two hundred and sixty you would still
Speaker 8: get an additional seven hundred and fourteen back if you
Speaker 8: did it.
Speaker 2: On your own.
Speaker 8: And I swear every year I'll go and I'll look
Speaker 8: if I just do it on my own, and then
Speaker 8: I do it with like an accountant and it's definitely
Speaker 8: a big difference, and I just think it's so much
Speaker 8: it's just worth it, and you don't have to do it.
Speaker 2: You save the time as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because tax is tricky.
Speaker 6: It is so complicated, and I mean like the system
Speaker 6: is set up well that if you know you can't
Speaker 6: afford to go to a tax accountant, the system is
Speaker 6: in place for you to be able to do it
Speaker 6: by yourself. But I remember the first time I saw
Speaker 6: an accountant, which was probably three years ago. I sat
Speaker 6: down and the list of things that she was She
Speaker 6: was like, you can claim like part of your house
Speaker 6: and you can claim this.
Speaker 8: Do you like that?
Speaker 6: I was like, oh my gosh, like I've been giving
Speaker 6: the government so much free money for the house, however
Speaker 6: long because you just don't know what you don't know.
Speaker 2: You can also pay.
Speaker 8: Them through your tax return, so they like will pull
Speaker 8: out their payment through that and then next year you
Speaker 8: can claim tax accountant on tax as well as I'm.
Speaker 5: Like, oh my god, yeah cool, I didn't know that.
Speaker 7: And also travel to your accountant as well.
Speaker 5: Petrol or public transport.
Speaker 6: Yeah, save the receipts, all the receipts, yeah, created receipts.
Speaker 6: It's a good reminder actually to book in to see
Speaker 6: if you are going to go see someone, book it
Speaker 6: in now, because my I booked it the other day
Speaker 6: and they were already booked out till September. So get
Speaker 6: in early because everyone's trying to get that refund as
Speaker 6: soon as possible.
Speaker 8: Then if you're like one month late, the fine is
Speaker 8: like over three hundred dollars. Yeah, it's crazy really yeah,
Speaker 8: but like every month, so I was telling me. And
Speaker 8: then if you're like two months late to do your tags,
Speaker 8: it's like six hundred dollars. It's like three hundred dollars
Speaker 8: every twenty eight days.
Speaker 4: That god.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 6: You get a lot longer though, if you have someone
Speaker 6: doing it professionally the time, the window for submission is
Speaker 6: a lot longer individual, isn't it.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, Whereas if you do it on your own,
Speaker 7: it's until the thirty first of October.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So so if you like to put it off, also get.
Speaker 5: Not that I'm advising that. No, this is not fun,
Speaker 5: just a friendly recommendation.
Speaker 4: Living is so expensive, hence why we have a broke
Speaker 4: Tip segment to help you get through, to help you
Speaker 4: get by. As always, we have one for myself we
Speaker 4: usually have.
Speaker 5: A couple from the community.
Speaker 4: But what are we going to do is I'm just
Speaker 4: going to give one from the community, and you guys,
Speaker 4: if you happen to have a broke tip, combined or separate,
Speaker 4: we'd love to hear it. So I'll start off with
Speaker 4: the one from the community. The one from the community
Speaker 4: actually comes from my good friend. We've both been kind
Speaker 4: of hustling. We just went to Japan recently. We came back.
Speaker 5: We both broke. It was really really irresponsible to go
Speaker 5: to Japan.
Speaker 4: But like live, love, laugh, that's that's powerful and so
Speaker 4: basically her, you know, I think last I'm not sure
Speaker 4: if you remember this, yest, but like a few weeks
Speaker 4: ago I mentioned free Cash's like this dumb game and app.
Speaker 4: So she's found a few more ways since then. I
Speaker 4: think the most recent one is if you go on eBay.
Speaker 4: I'm sure there's so many people that knows already, but
Speaker 4: like if you just like suss out what is trending
Speaker 4: right now, what's making good money, and just like random
Speaker 4: things that you might already have in your home right now.
Speaker 4: It's like I think she found a few books, maybe
Speaker 4: some baby books. I can't remember exactly what ones. I'm
Speaker 4: so sorry for those listening and really wanting to know
Speaker 4: what I'm talking about. But you can find these in
Speaker 4: op shops and you can buy them for like four
Speaker 4: dollars at the op shop and then sell them on
Speaker 4: eBay for one hundred or several hundred dollars. So if
Speaker 4: you just like suss out what's trending on eBay and
Speaker 4: then go out into the world, go find them on
Speaker 4: either gum Tree. Everyone forgot about gum Tree. Gum Tree
Speaker 4: is still a thing, and it's for people who don't
Speaker 4: know the value of things, so.
Speaker 5: Or you know, marketplace.
Speaker 4: Of course, you can go through hard rubbish, op shops,
Speaker 4: all these things. Just hustle, hustle, hustle, find out what's
Speaker 4: trending and then go and find it real cheap and
Speaker 4: sell it on eBay. eBay is so good. Anyway, when
Speaker 4: I sponsored, are we by? Maybe I should look into it?
Speaker 5: Just isn't that clear?
Speaker 4: Just like the amount of times said Eva that lasts
Speaker 4: like thirty seconds. But anyway, so that's from the community
Speaker 4: aka my friend and my personal one. I'm not sure
Speaker 4: if you guys heard of this, but you know, dupes
Speaker 4: have been like kind of trending or something. It's like
Speaker 4: it's a big thing, like maybe you'll find like a
Speaker 4: really good perfume or like a really good jacket or whatever.
Speaker 5: Mc beauty of it all.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's all this TikTok. And it was this
Speaker 4: woman who was saying that it's a little bit controversial.
Speaker 4: But if you're an interior designer, if you're looking for
Speaker 4: maybe like really good quality furniture or things for your home,
Speaker 4: if you just type.
Speaker 5: In I believe the front of any ur l.
Speaker 4: Let's say that you've opened up an IR lounge or
Speaker 4: something like that. In front of that URL, you're right
Speaker 4: dupe dot com, and it will search the internet for
Speaker 4: that exact lounge cheaper versions of it. So it could
Speaker 4: be like less quality. I will preface it with that.
Speaker 4: It could be like the quality is not as good.
Speaker 4: Maybe they're slightly the shape is slightly different, but it
Speaker 4: will search the internet for you or scour the internet
Speaker 4: for you to find that exact I'll try and find
Speaker 4: the TikTok.
Speaker 5: And maybe we can put it somewhere. Yeah.
Speaker 4: But yeah, in the comments, I could see people were
Speaker 4: like kind of arguing, like, oh, interior designers spend a
Speaker 4: lot of time and effer and things. And I'm like,
Speaker 4: I totally get that. Like, if you're like an artist
Speaker 4: and you've created this beautiful couch and someone else's like
Speaker 4: kind of ripped it off and like selling it cheaper,
Speaker 4: I totally understand that. I guess it's for those people
Speaker 4: who just like literally will never be able to afford
Speaker 4: a four thousand dollars single seater couch, you know.
Speaker 5: So give it a go.
Speaker 4: But also, if you can afford to support artists, local artists,
Speaker 4: interior designers and these kind of people, please do. But
Speaker 4: if you are like me and maybe won't be able
Speaker 4: to spend four thousand dollars the same thing, then give
Speaker 4: it a go. Why not?
Speaker 5: Why not?
Speaker 1: Do?
Speaker 6: Culture is so interesting because I think I completely agree
Speaker 6: there are some things like the artistic license, the ownership
Speaker 6: of the IP and all that, Like, I completely agree
Speaker 6: that we should be respecting those things. Yes, but sometimes
Speaker 6: it's like you're paying five hundred dollars for a T
Speaker 6: shirt with a logo on it or a T shirt
Speaker 6: with a design during me, and so it's interesting to
Speaker 6: think about I guess the markup or the value that
Speaker 6: you put on something for someone's you know, creation or whatever.
Speaker 6: I'm trying to find a way to say this delicately
Speaker 6: and not upset anybody. But there's also just a markup
Speaker 6: that you pay sometimes for a big corporation being like, well,
Speaker 6: what are you going to do? Like where else are
Speaker 6: you going to get it?
Speaker 5: Yes? So true.
Speaker 8: I think shopping jups is really identifying where your value
Speaker 8: sit because it is a spectrum. Because you know, there
Speaker 8: is a cost of living crisis and people do need
Speaker 8: to find affordable options, and sometimes that's just gets called
Speaker 8: a jupe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like an affordable option.
Speaker 8: It might not be a direct copy, it might not
Speaker 8: be that, and that gets deemed a dupe.
Speaker 2: Because that's the affordable option.
Speaker 8: We've always said that a jupe is something that serves
Speaker 8: the same purpose at the same quality, yes, and it's
Speaker 8: more affordable. Whereas like there's things I'm like, I just
Speaker 8: wouldn't get the dupe because I bought it. For example,
Speaker 8: like furniture was one of those things that I went
Speaker 8: really really cheap on and it came and it.
Speaker 2: Was the size of a children's couch and my dad
Speaker 2: came over and he was.
Speaker 5: Like, what did you do? And I was like, no, no, no,
Speaker 5: don't ask.
Speaker 2: Question was did you measure it, and I was like,
Speaker 2: look big in the photo.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but it's like you can find more affordable options,
Speaker 8: save purpose and have the same quality. Yes, but yeah,
Speaker 8: sometimes I think when you cut corners it bites you
Speaker 8: in the bum. But then sometimes when you find something
Speaker 8: that's really good quality and affordable, you're like, yes, that's it.
Speaker 6: I love that, like people sharing when they found something
Speaker 6: that he is a really good dupe or a really
Speaker 6: good alternative.
Speaker 4: To something so true and also just really quickly, I
Speaker 4: didn't realize that dupe was spelt this way, So I
Speaker 4: just want for anyone who's listening and doesn't in my
Speaker 4: mind it was j op for so long.
Speaker 8: I wish it was spelt like's have a rebrand.
Speaker 4: Yes seriously, but for those listening and don't know it
Speaker 4: is d u p E d u p E Okyo.
Speaker 2: People can here about them again.
Speaker 4: Trying to So it's just for me twelve thousand searches.
Speaker 4: Tube's really coming back. And now, do you guys happen
Speaker 4: to have any broot tips one or two or how
Speaker 4: many of you want to share.
Speaker 5: I'll give a quick.
Speaker 7: One and it's a shameless plug because it's end of
Speaker 7: financial year. Sales season, and for every sale event, Alex
Speaker 7: and I make a cheat sheet, which is a spreadsheet
Speaker 7: with all of the sales that are happening so that
Speaker 7: you can see them all and compare them all in
Speaker 7: one place.
Speaker 5: So definitely check that out.
Speaker 7: It will be on our Instagram, check out our TikTok
Speaker 7: we'll have all the links. But yeah, if you're doing
Speaker 7: your end of financial year sales, check out the cheat
Speaker 7: sheet so that you don't. The worst thing is when
Speaker 7: you go and buy some from somewhere and you're like, yes,
Speaker 7: I got a good deal, and then you say it
Speaker 7: somewhere else even cheaper, and you're like, oh yy. Plus,
Speaker 7: then you can also say and be like can I
Speaker 7: price match here and do that?
Speaker 6: Yeah, so good. I've seen the list. They're actually epic.
Speaker 6: I can't imagine how long it takes you, So please
Speaker 6: go watch the video.
Speaker 4: Okay, I reckon, Let's go to a really quick break
Speaker 4: and on the flip side, we're going to be helping
Speaker 4: to answer a juicy money dilemma, which this week is
Speaker 4: all about keeping your budget in line or getting bargains
Speaker 4: at the end of financial US sale.
Speaker 5: And then after that we're unpacking something that you slid.
Speaker 4: Into our dms, about which this week is all about
Speaker 4: resetting your heads face after a toxic workplace and don't
Speaker 4: go anywhere.
Speaker 6: Welcome back, everybody. Let's take a listen to this week's
Speaker 6: money dilemma.
Speaker 3: Hi, there, have you got a money dilemma you just
Speaker 3: can't solve. The Cheese on the Money team is here
Speaker 3: to help. Every week, we tackle your dilemmas, both big
Speaker 3: and small, to so you're most burning money, career and
Speaker 3: life questions. To get involved, simply head to our website
Speaker 3: and leave us a short voice recording and you might
Speaker 3: just find yourself on the show. Now, let's take a
Speaker 3: listen to this week's money dilemma.
Speaker 5: I need some help.
Speaker 10: It's early June and I've already spent my entire budget
Speaker 10: for the month on the extras and fun stuff I.
Speaker 5: Set aside because it was my birthday.
Speaker 10: But with all these big end of financial year sales
Speaker 10: coming up, I'm a little bit stuck. I need a
Speaker 10: new hair dryer and things like running shoes. But I'm
Speaker 10: wondering do I prioritize getting these at a discount now
Speaker 10: and going over my budget for the month, or do
Speaker 10: I spend likely more money on them after the sales
Speaker 10: are over, but not going out of my budget. I
Speaker 10: am stressing. Please help.
Speaker 5: Oh that's a good question.
Speaker 2: Okay, I know how you feel.
Speaker 8: But I think like after doing because I was a
Speaker 8: shopping journalist before sal and I did Two Broke Chicks together,
Speaker 8: So I was a shopping journalist for like five years.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: It was a great charm and so I were like
Speaker 8: so shopping focused too as well. But the one thing
Speaker 8: I've learned doing that job is that there is always
Speaker 8: another sale. There are so many sale events in the
Speaker 8: year that I would probably say, as tempting as it
Speaker 8: is to you know, get a really good.
Speaker 2: Deal and the things that you're shopping.
Speaker 8: For now, it will probably be two months max before
Speaker 8: there's another sale that you could be shopping again that
Speaker 8: I don't know if it's weather going over your budget.
Speaker 2: And did she say it was her birthday?
Speaker 5: Yeah, she said she blew her budget.
Speaker 6: I think a little bit this month because she's just
Speaker 6: had her birthday.
Speaker 2: Can we make a birthday wish list? Can we get
Speaker 2: a hairdry.
Speaker 5: Some vouchers?
Speaker 8: Maybe, because I'm like, if you can get some vouchers
Speaker 8: and put that towards it, then I'm like slay that
Speaker 8: doesn't count.
Speaker 2: It's free money. There's always another sale.
Speaker 8: It's not worth going over your budget for because there's
Speaker 8: always going to be a good deals, going.
Speaker 2: To be a really good deal.
Speaker 8: Like we see dice in air apps going on sale
Speaker 8: so much every year, like Black Friday last year, they're
Speaker 8: in the four hundreds. So it's like, I just don't
Speaker 8: think you need to because yeah, they're pretty pretty reoccurring.
Speaker 7: Yeah, especially for in her case, running shoes and hair
Speaker 7: dryers like those are things that regularly go on sale
Speaker 7: pretty much every sale event. Whereas if it was something
Speaker 7: like furniture or white goods, then I would say, okay,
Speaker 7: well that's when you typically do see the better sales.
Speaker 5: Around and a financial year.
Speaker 7: But you'll be able to get these things on sale
Speaker 7: during after Payday which is in August, or Click Frenzy
Speaker 7: again in November, or Black Friday of course in November.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I.
Speaker 7: Don't think it's worth blowing the budget either because another
Speaker 7: opportunity will come round. But keep those particular items if
Speaker 7: you really know what you want in your car, and
Speaker 7: keep an eye out on when they do go on
Speaker 7: sale so that when your budget does allow for it.
Speaker 5: You're going to be ready to go. Yes.
Speaker 6: The way that these sales work is by making you
Speaker 6: think that that deal is never going to happen again,
Speaker 6: which I think you guys do a lot of documenting
Speaker 6: on your page of the different sales of the different
Speaker 6: sale period, which I think is awesome. Like they literally
Speaker 6: it's a psychology that they feed into to create this
Speaker 6: frenzied mindset, which I think is so hilarious that they
Speaker 6: call it click frenzy because they're kind of exposing themselves.
Speaker 2: Twice a year as well.
Speaker 8: I mean, I read it for filth, but like the
Speaker 8: sales are pretty decent, especially towards the end of the year.
Speaker 5: Oh absolutely. We've done a whole.
Speaker 8: Thing on like impulse shopping and how it'll be like
Speaker 8: twenty four hours only or not to be restocked, and
Speaker 8: like these are all marketing tactics, like you to click
Speaker 8: at cut and check out within an hour, because if
Speaker 8: it goes over an hour, then you're like, oh, do
Speaker 8: I need it? And then you're like twenty four hours,
Speaker 8: you're like, oh, probably not.
Speaker 2: How good is that feeling When you're like I'm glad
Speaker 2: I didn't buy that thing? About the money back in
Speaker 2: my pocket?
Speaker 6: I started keeping a list of things that I wanted,
Speaker 6: and I forgot about it, and I found it in
Speaker 6: my notes a couple weeks ago, and I was looking
Speaker 6: at just things that I wanted, you know, four months ago,
Speaker 6: five months ago, so many things on the list.
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, I don't care about that nail.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So it's crazy that twenty four hour mindset, even
Speaker 6: you know, such a short period can really be the
Speaker 6: circuit breakup between falling for the marketing and not. The
Speaker 6: other thing I'd say is reassess your definition of need. Potentially,
Speaker 6: you say you need a new hair dry Is that
Speaker 6: because yours broken you physically do not own one, or
Speaker 6: is it because you're using the same one you had?
Speaker 6: You know when you're in high school and you're like, oh,
Speaker 6: she's been ugly. She doesn't do the job the best,
Speaker 6: but she does do the job.
Speaker 5: I'm sitting right here, me to.
Speaker 6: Me because I desperately want the new Peek dice and
Speaker 6: air up instead of my six year old hot pink one.
Speaker 2: I have the old one too, and I still love her.
Speaker 2: I'm like, she's still kicking.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: My Facebook marketplace.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I got mine, I think in a sale and
Speaker 6: it was really cheap, but it's the short barrels along back.
Speaker 5: But do you know what I mean? Like, does it
Speaker 5: still dry my hair? Absolutely?
Speaker 8: It does. It's always going to be updated as well, yeah,
Speaker 8: to be like, oh I need the new, Like look
Speaker 8: at us with iPhones.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, I'm literally my.
Speaker 8: Dad being like, look at a buying phone.
Speaker 5: I buy it every year.
Speaker 2: Phones don't work.
Speaker 4: Where often made so much better because no one like
Speaker 4: thought about planet obsolescence when they were making old products.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Now, like an iPhone will be like it will die
Speaker 4: in a year because that's what it's meant to do
Speaker 4: by design, by design. Damn you seriously. I think that's
Speaker 4: pretty great advice, And like, you know me, I wouldn't
Speaker 4: take you know, this kind of advice for myself because
Speaker 4: I would be like immediately, I was like, you gotta
Speaker 4: get it. You got to get those bargains, babe. But
Speaker 4: you guys had some really solid advice, so I would
Speaker 4: probably go with that. If you're listening to this, do
Speaker 4: not listen to me. Are you guys ready for a
Speaker 4: juicy money dilemma?
Speaker 5: I'm kind of like.
Speaker 4: Shaking, I'm gagging for it, So let's get into it.
Speaker 4: Here's this week's DM. Hey girls, I'm on the job
Speaker 4: hunt after leaving a toxic workplace and and feeling so
Speaker 4: relieved to be out of there, but also needing to
Speaker 4: get something soon. But I'm a bit terrifed by my
Speaker 4: headspace right now. I've pretty much been in an abusive
Speaker 4: workplace for two years and feel a bit broken, like
Speaker 4: after a bad breakup, and I'm worried I'm not putting
Speaker 4: my best foot forward because it stripped my confidence away.
Speaker 4: Any help you can give to reframe and refresh my
Speaker 4: thinking would be so appreciated.
Speaker 5: Oh, I just want to give Yeah, seriously. Yeah, it
Speaker 5: is a real tough one.
Speaker 4: But just like an abusive relationship, I know, it's a
Speaker 4: bit harder because you, like, you know, obviously need money.
Speaker 5: You need pay bills and things like that.
Speaker 4: I totally get that, But just like an abusive relationship,
Speaker 4: you do need to give yourself time to heal. It's
Speaker 4: a bit of a catch sween too, because I was
Speaker 4: going to like suggest therapy, but to pay for therapy
Speaker 4: you need a job sort of things. So I would say,
Speaker 4: just strip it all the way back down, you know,
Speaker 4: try and get a job. That's really chill really not
Speaker 4: easy at all by any means, but just like something
Speaker 4: that you can just leave at the at the door,
Speaker 4: you know, like maybe, for example, I love.
Speaker 5: Being a kitchen hand, genuinely love being a dishy.
Speaker 4: So if I was in this position, I'll be like,
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna get a really fun dishy job. I'm
Speaker 4: going to like go to like cafes and pubs and
Speaker 4: be like, what looks like a good team, these guys
Speaker 4: look cool, I might just like see if they have
Speaker 4: a dishy job available.
Speaker 5: You can just like go in.
Speaker 4: You don't have to think about anything, You have some fun,
Speaker 4: and you leave, like something that's so easy. Don't jump
Speaker 4: straight back into something that's high stress, potentially high stress,
Speaker 4: potentially toxic. Again, just take your time, just try and
Speaker 4: find something to bring money in, maybe go to therapy
Speaker 4: if you can afford it, and let yourself heal, let
Speaker 4: yourself he really take it as though it's an abusive
Speaker 4: relationship that you just got out of and you must
Speaker 4: heal before going back into a new one.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, one of my friends actually did that.
Speaker 7: She was in like a really intense industry for probably
Speaker 7: ten years, like ever since we left High Score and
Speaker 7: then a series of unfortunate events happened to her as well,
Speaker 7: and she was like, I'm quitting this job.
Speaker 5: And then she was lucky enough that she was able to, you.
Speaker 7: Know, move back to our hometown and live with her
Speaker 7: family to take some of that financial pressure off, which
Speaker 7: I know everybody doesn't have the opportunity to do. But
Speaker 7: she went and worked in a bar for a few months,
Speaker 7: and she said it was the best thing that she
Speaker 7: ever did because it gave her, you know, a little
Speaker 7: bit of money to fall back on and continue to save,
Speaker 7: so she wasn't just digging into her savings, which would
Speaker 7: have been stressful. But also it was just a completely
Speaker 7: different workplace and headspace to what she'd been in previously,
Speaker 7: and she was actually able to switch off when she
Speaker 7: left work, which she could never do before. And then
Speaker 7: she also used some of that money to put towards
Speaker 7: therapy as well, which I think really helped her and
Speaker 7: helped build her confidence back up again. But I think
Speaker 7: it's a good reminder as well that if this person
Speaker 7: decides that they don't want to take, you know, maybe
Speaker 7: a career break, and they want to continue in the
Speaker 7: industry that they're in, when you're going into interviews, remember
Speaker 7: that the people that are interviewing you want you to
Speaker 7: succeed because they want to fill this position and they
Speaker 7: want you to be great. They're not waiting for you
Speaker 7: to come in and be like, all right, what's her baggage?
Speaker 7: Like you know, so what's she going to do to
Speaker 7: stuff up? Or they're not waiting for you to make mistakes.
Speaker 7: They want you to do well. And I think if
Speaker 7: you go into it with that mindset like, oh, they
Speaker 7: don't know about all of this stuff that I've been through,
Speaker 7: They don't know about perhaps these confidence issues that I have.
Speaker 5: They just see all of the great things.
Speaker 7: That I've got on my resume and in my coverletta,
Speaker 7: and that's what they see me for. Because I think
Speaker 7: sometimes you go in and they're like, Okay, they're going
Speaker 7: to know that I'm a fraud, or they're going to
Speaker 7: know that I'm not confident, but they don't know that.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 8: Also reminding yourself that when someone's pushing confidence issues on you,
Speaker 8: that's often a reflection of them, Like this toxic workplace,
Speaker 8: which sounds horrible, was probably reflecting themselves inwardly, Like everyone
Speaker 8: deals with imposter syndrome and confidence issues and remembering that
Speaker 8: it was their issue, not yours, can sometimes be the
Speaker 8: thing that can push you to do the thing that
Speaker 8: you're nervous about doing.
Speaker 2: It's so okay to be nervous.
Speaker 8: It's so okay to you know, want to just like
Speaker 8: curl up on the couch to watch bridget Ten because same,
Speaker 8: but it's you're gonna hold yourself back for too long
Speaker 8: if you're not doing the thing that's scary because you
Speaker 8: know it's the same as like if you go through
Speaker 8: a bad breakup and then you're getting back into dating,
Speaker 8: that's gonna be scary. If you go through a bad
Speaker 8: workplace and getting back into a workplace, that's going to
Speaker 8: be scary. But if you don't give yourself the opportunity,
Speaker 8: you'll never find the thing that's good too, if you're
Speaker 8: scared that everything's going to be bad. So I think
Speaker 8: definitely what you said is like people want you to succeed.
Speaker 8: Like whenever Sale and I are nervous about something, people
Speaker 8: want to see you win. They don't want to see
Speaker 8: you fall on your face. So remembering that and just
Speaker 8: remembering that it's okay to be nervous, and sometimes writing
Speaker 8: down a list of things you can control and things
Speaker 8: you can't control. Is really helpful, especially if you're going
Speaker 8: to go into an interview as well. That can really
Speaker 8: help with nerves.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think as well. Have you guys seen that graph?
Speaker 6: It shows the way that the people you interact with
Speaker 6: the amount of time that you spend with them, the
Speaker 6: influence that they have on you and your perception of things.
Speaker 6: And as time goes on, we you know, at our
Speaker 6: midpoint of our lives where I think a lot of
Speaker 6: our community kind of sit We spend so much time
Speaker 6: with our co workers and potentially like less at the
Speaker 6: time with our friends, and so we really become a reflection.
Speaker 6: We internalize and take on a lot of those things
Speaker 6: from the people around us. And I know a big
Speaker 6: part of your new book is about finding like the
Speaker 6: right people to surround yourselves with, and obviously you're talking
Speaker 6: about friendship, but I think that is very applicable to
Speaker 6: a workplace as well, and finding the right fit for you.
Speaker 6: And as someone who has worked many a job and
Speaker 6: has lived quite a few career lives before I kind
Speaker 6: of found my footing, it is okay to go into somewhere,
Speaker 6: assess it, settle in, and decide that it's not right
Speaker 6: for you. Like I think, there is a bit of
Speaker 6: a mindset that you need to find exactly the right
Speaker 6: thing and you have to be there for ten years
Speaker 6: and you have to do if you get there and
Speaker 6: by you know, three or six months and you go
Speaker 6: the vibe is not the vibe, you can leave and
Speaker 6: that is okay, and that's not going to be held
Speaker 6: against you. And I think that they're so much value
Speaker 6: in finding not only a career that you find fulfilling
Speaker 6: in a job that you actually like doing, but also
Speaker 6: just a group of people because you spend so much
Speaker 6: time with them and it's really important that you can
Speaker 6: feel like you have a relationship with them and that
Speaker 6: a bit you know, a friendship on some level because
Speaker 6: you're spending that much time together that how they make
Speaker 6: you feel will have a direct impact on your self worth.
Speaker 6: It will have a direct impact on your day to
Speaker 6: day happiness.
Speaker 2: Thousand cent.
Speaker 8: We do actually talk about this in the book and
Speaker 8: how you can find your people in the workplace, because
Speaker 8: that's how Sala and I met.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we met through working together.
Speaker 8: And I think as well, especially if you're working at
Speaker 8: a big team, there's always going to be people you
Speaker 8: don't like, oh completely, that's just going to happen. But
Speaker 8: if you do have your people, then you do have
Speaker 8: your friends there or people that you can rely on.
Speaker 8: It means that at the end of the day you
Speaker 8: can like go bitch about the fucking water cooler or
Speaker 8: whatever you want to do and just be like, Okay,
Speaker 8: that wasn't the best, but at least I've got this
Speaker 8: to fall back.
Speaker 2: On and they can kind of lift you up and
Speaker 2: you can lean on them when you need it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I just won't give them a heart.
Speaker 6: Ultimately, it's not about you, Like I just can't say enough.
Speaker 5: It is not your fault. It is a failure in management.
Speaker 2: Of managers, and it does do that.
Speaker 8: Like I went to therapy due to a manager, so
Speaker 8: I can really understand how she felt and the work
Speaker 8: actually sent me to the therapy because this is your fault, like.
Speaker 5: Eap, come through king.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but also just time, yeah, time, give yourself space.
Speaker 5: What did everybody else kind of think about the situation? Okay,
Speaker 5: so this is what everyone else had to say?
Speaker 4: One person said, report bad bosses, report income theft, report
Speaker 4: it all. Yes, queen, get it, which is good because
Speaker 4: like that means the next person won't have the same journey.
Speaker 6: Fair work covers that kind of stuff too, just for
Speaker 6: anyone wondering. I know, when we think about fair work,
Speaker 6: a lot of the time we think about like, yeah,
Speaker 6: not being paid correctly, super not being done. Fair work
Speaker 6: is actually there to ensure that there is a safe
Speaker 6: environment for you, and that includes mental health and mental stability.
Speaker 6: And so if you have a HR, I think HR
Speaker 6: is probably a better and closer first step. But if
Speaker 6: you work for maybe a smaller business or something like that,
Speaker 6: fair work does exist to help make sure that you
Speaker 6: as an employee are looked after, true, and so that's
Speaker 6: somewhere that you can report to you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, good call.
Speaker 4: The next one says it can be a good lesson
Speaker 4: on how to not behave if you move into leadership
Speaker 4: slash people facing roles, which I think is a really
Speaker 4: good point obviously, Like I'm sure this person's probably know
Speaker 4: healing right now, so he isn't thinking about that, but
Speaker 4: it is really good to just like keep under your belt,
Speaker 4: keep in your pocket for if you exactly want not
Speaker 4: to do how to not treat someone. I think we do,
Speaker 4: like if we find ourselves in a leadership role someday
Speaker 4: it is good to go through these experiences because, like, Okay,
Speaker 4: I know that I will not be like this. Another
Speaker 4: person said, remind yourself of who you were before the
Speaker 4: crap job.
Speaker 8: You're still that person. That's really sweet, And it's not
Speaker 8: a good reminder that you aren't your job. No, you
Speaker 8: have other things that you like about yourself. Your entire
Speaker 8: success does not rely on your workplace.
Speaker 4: With your career, yeah, someone else said, and this is
Speaker 4: not really advice, but it is so true. We spend
Speaker 4: so much time at work. It's not healthy to be
Speaker 4: so exposed toxic energy. That's so true. Someone else said,
Speaker 4: it is always worth it to leave, and don't put
Speaker 4: pressure on yourself to get over it quickly.
Speaker 5: That is so true.
Speaker 4: And because exactly as this person said, exactly as I
Speaker 4: was saying before, like it literally is an abusive situation
Speaker 4: and abusive toxic workplace that you must heal from, So
Speaker 4: give yourself time. So I think this is a really
Speaker 4: good one to leave it on. It is so hard
Speaker 4: to spot bad culture. But don't feel bad about job
Speaker 4: hopping until you find your people.
Speaker 5: So true, beautiful, I think that's so true.
Speaker 4: I think just yeah, job hop find your people, heal
Speaker 4: take your time, do whatever you gotta do. Just make
Speaker 4: sure you remember who you were before.
Speaker 6: You started and who you want to be, like you
Speaker 6: want to still change, you can still adapt and shift
Speaker 6: like yes.
Speaker 4: Life is so long, despite what people say, life long.
Speaker 4: You can change, you can shape shift whatever you want
Speaker 4: to do.
Speaker 6: And speaking of finding your people, guys, thank you so
Speaker 6: much for joining us. Do you want to tell everyone
Speaker 6: a little bit about the book and where they can
Speaker 6: find it and what it is?
Speaker 8: Of course, So like we said before, this is kind
Speaker 8: of like our little friendship baby. So we have been
Speaker 8: doing two Broach Chicks for you know, the last two
Speaker 8: years and probably the most common question we get is
Speaker 8: how do I make friends as an adult? And according
Speaker 8: to a State of the Nation report in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 8: one in three Australians feel lonely some or at all times,
Speaker 8: which is just wild and huge because we don't.
Speaker 2: Talk about it.
Speaker 8: We don't talk about how hard it is to make
Speaker 8: friends because it is a little bit you know, overwhelming,
Speaker 8: and we might find it embarrassing and that's okay. So
Speaker 8: we kind of wrote this book to be like a
Speaker 8: bit of a best friend to people to help them
Speaker 8: find friendship within themselves, cut off toxic relationships and also
