I want 326 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 2: to go on MSN. 327 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 4: Took me a second, but I got there. Okay. Anyway, 328 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 4: to parrot what I have heard victorious a many times before, 329 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 4: I believe is that hector is the one debt that 330 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 4: dies with you, which is a little morbid, but if 331 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 4: you die, it disappears, doesn't get passed on to anybody. Actually, 332 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 4: you know what, now that the hex indexation is higher, 333 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 4: perhaps this is a smadge different, But typically we would 334 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 4: have or I would have thought, the answer was the 335 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 4: potential rate of return on an investment, generally speaking, may 336 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 4: or may not be higher than the debt that you 337 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 4: would be occurring on a hex debt, which then also 338 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 4: disappears when you die. So like most people wouldn't priorities 339 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 4: paying it off historically. I don't know where we sit 340 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 4: now that the hex is index, now that the hex 341 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 4: is indexation, now that you know. 342 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 2: That the hex has been index, yeah, I can see 343 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 2: why it was challenging. 344 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 4: My one brain cell? Is you jumping your all? 345 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: Right? 346 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 2: Can I please take the brain cell button and have 347 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 2: a turn? 348 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 4: I would love that you you have the brain cell now. 349 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 2: So it really depends obviously on your own financial goals. 350 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 2: It's not necessarily what is better, because we could do 351 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 2: a whole heap of mats that tells you that the 352 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 2: best asset class in Australia to invest in that has 353 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 2: the highest return is actually shares, But that doesn't mean 354 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 2: that's what you want to buy. Like, go over to 355 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 2: justice side of the table and I say put your 356 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 2: house deposit in shares. She's gonna say, absolutely not. That 357 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 2: is not in line with my values. So just because 358 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 2: something has the best return does not mean it is 359 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 2: the best for you personally. So I think starting there 360 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 2: is really important. Jess is correct. Hex is the one 361 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 2: thing that if you lose your income, you don't have 362 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 2: to pay if you die. It doesn't get past your 363 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 2: friends or your family or whoever you see your next 364 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 2: of kin. Whereas your mortgage will obviously with HEX indexation 365 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 2: at seven point one percent this year, people are looking 366 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 2: at it a little bit differently, but it's going to 367 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 2: be indexed every single year, and it has been indexed 368 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 2: for the past few years. It's just never been at 369 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 2: a point that has I guess catastrophically offended people enough 370 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 2: for them to make a change. I didn't make any 371 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 2: changes based on indexation on my HEX step because at 372 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 2: the moment, I just really don't want to have a mortgage, 373 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 2: so I'd prefer my money to go there. But if 374 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 2: you look at the interest rate on my mortgage, which 375 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 2: currently now is that a vomit worthy five point five 376 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 2: percent versus my indexation on my HEX which is at 377 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 2: seven point four one percent, what you need to remember 378 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 2: is that seven point one percent was once off and 379 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 2: next year it could be lower or it could be different. 380 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 2: Whereas my mortgage is going to continue to cost me 381 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 2: five point five percent each and every single month, which 382 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 2: is bile. So it really depends on how you want 383 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 2: to calculate it or work it out. But I'd sit 384 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: down and go, well, what are my financial goals like 385 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 2: is this fifty dollars going to get me closer to 386 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 2: the holiday that I want to go on. Is that 387 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 2: more important than getting rid of my hextet? And one 388 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 2: of the things about hextet is it's kind of one 389 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: of the only debts that doesn't stop you from borrowing 390 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 2: more money like you can and I'm not saying that 391 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 2: this is good, but you can get personal loans, you 392 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 2: can get mortgages, or while you have HEX, it just 393 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 2: changes your borrowing capacity. But you already have a mortgage 394 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 2: and you already have that investment property. So I'm assuming 395 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 2: that smashing down your HEX is not the biggest priority, 396 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 2: because what happens when it's gone, right, Like, are you 397 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 2: using that cash flow for another financial goal? If so, 398 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 2: whilen't We're working towards it now. Like there's just lots 399 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 2: of questions and there's no real perfect answer. It's just 400 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 2: more well, what is more of value to you personally? 401 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 2: And what does that look like? Because as I said, 402 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 2: I could show you on a piece of paper what 403 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 2: the quote best asset class return on average over the 404 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 2: last thirty years has been, it will come out as shares. 405 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 2: That doesn't mean that people want to do that, like 406 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 2: exclusively with their money, so it really yeah, it depends. 407 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 2: Sorry for that roundabout answer. 408 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 5: If you do want a more in depth answer, you 409 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 5: can absolutely listen to the episode that we did about 410 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 5: Hex and Indexation are back in May, very sexy. Check 411 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 5: it out if you want great. 412 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 2: Love, this great app let's rage on good stuff. Yeah 413 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 2: you ready, juicy? Are you ready? All right? So this 414 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 2: week's community dilemma, you've slid into our dms. We are 415 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 2: on a roll when it comes to housemate topics, so 416 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 2: we're not gonna stop. This week's message sounded a lot 417 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 2: like this, Ready, guys, ready, staying on trend with the 418 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 2: roommate dilemmas, laughing, crying emoji face. I live in a 419 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 2: house of four girls, and all of us have partners 420 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 2: apart from one. The one who doesn't has rallied us 421 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 2: all together and said she thinks we need to negotiate 422 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 2: our bills as our boyfriends come over and use water 423 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 2: and electricity, et cetera. But on the flip side, we're 424 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 2: all gone at our boyfriend's houses half the time as well, 425 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 2: and she's the only one during that period of time 426 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 2: thoughts on what we should do s O S sounds 427 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 2: like it's break even. I would say, I don't really 428 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 2: still agreed, is that the answer? All? 429 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: Right? 430 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 2: Well by. 431 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 4: That is nice. Yeah, it just sounds like like I 432 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 4: totally get it. 433 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 5: If if they were always at home the partners included, 434 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 5: then I would understand that a lot more. 435 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 4: But really it's probably negligible. 436 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 5: I would say, if they're kind of like half at 437 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 5: home half of the partner's house, it kind of all 438 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 5: evens out, all comes out in the world. 439 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 2: Like if you're having your partner stay over like three 440 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 2: nights a week and then you're staying at their house 441 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 2: four nights a week. Just for clarity, is yeah, they're 442 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 2: saving one shower per week. 443 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 5: It's yet not really probably not worth like the awkward 444 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 5: conversation potentially a fight for you know, if you really 445 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 5: break down the numbers, it's probably not that much. 446 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 4: I would argue, really, if the partners, their chances are 447 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 4: the housemate of the partner is also there, if you're 448 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 4: sitting in the bedroom, ei there's one person in there 449 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 4: or two, same amount of electricities being used, like Jeremy. 450 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 4: Like the one argument I suppose could be made for 451 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 4: shower save water shower with partner, Sure, but I don't 452 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 4: think that could lead to a longer shower. But you know, 453 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 4: I feel like it's not enough, that it's not as 454 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 4: if in my mind, that's detrimentally inflating the cost of bills. 455 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 4: And if it is, like if they're leaving lights on everywhere, 456 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,239 Speaker 4: maybe there's a conversation to be sure around hey, can 457 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 4: we just be mindful that if we're jumping from one 458 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,719 Speaker 4: room to another, we're switching the lights off. But if 459 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 4: the environment trial laugh, But I don't think it matters 460 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 4: that much. 461 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: Maybe the food, maybe the food situation or if the 462 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 2: food is there, I think that's a situation. But I 463 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 2: would also like to go back to how you negotiated 464 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 2: the rooms to begin with, like are you paying rent 465 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 2: based on the room that you hold or are you 466 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,719 Speaker 2: paying rent based on how many heads are in the house? 467 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 2: Because I feel like this goes two roots, and every 468 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 2: house I've ever lived in has always been you pay 469 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 2: rent based on the room that you're in, and so 470 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 2: like this room might be where three hundred and fifty 471 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 2: dollars a week, and if my partner stays over, well 472 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 2: that's part and pussle. I've now decided to share my space. However, 473 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 2: I do see the bill thing as being an issue. 474 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 2: I know that this could be fickle, but like from 475 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 2: this circumstance, I look at it and go, you know what, 476 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 2: it's easy, come, easygo, it's pretty even. But what if 477 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 2: your boyfriend doesn't have a job and all of your 478 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 2: housemates go to work and you go to work, and 479 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 2: then your boyfriend's just hanging out in your house with 480 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 2: a heater on full blast. 481 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 5: True, like that could be an issue. That's true, that's true, 482 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 5: we can talk about that. 483 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 2: But that doesn't seem to be what's going on here. 484 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 4: No, No, that would be a separate issue. I would 485 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 4: imagine altogether. 486 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 2: Really, why I are in my house without me? 487 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 5: Weird change, yes, but I think, yeah, at the end 488 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 5: of the day, if it is true, they all are 489 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 5: kind of like sharing each other's like they're going back 490 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 5: and forth between the partner's house and their house, and 491 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 5: they're I don't know, not really there all the time. 492 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,959 Speaker 5: It kind of does even itself out, and it's not 493 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 5: worth having the commason. However, if everyone is always at 494 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 5: home and it's maybe like once a week one of 495 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 5: the people go to the partner's house or you know whatever, 496 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 5: then maybe it's worth having a look. 497 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 4: It sounds like the third housemate, the single housemate, is 498 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 4: feeling a bit put out. Sure, so it might even 499 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 4: just be a symptom of a deep issue, Like she's like, 500 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 4: there's all these people in my space, I'm the only 501 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 4: single person. I don't know how they feel about that 502 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 4: either way. That maybe they're just like, oh, like I 503 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 4: signed up to have three housemates and now I have five, 504 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 4: you know, so I feel that in my boat it 505 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,479 Speaker 4: could be like a bigger conversation to be hard. But 506 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 4: I don't necessarily think that that means that the outcome 507 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 4: should be everyone needs to contribute financially. Depending on the. 508 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 2: Dynamics could be very different, right, Like, again, I've used 509 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 2: these examples in the past. If you and I just 510 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 2: lived together with beck and it was just the girls 511 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 2: and we're all singled, that dynamic is very different to 512 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 2: if three of us all have partners and our partners 513 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 2: come over. Because I feel like there's such a different 514 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 2: dynamic in a house because I've been through it where 515 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 2: I get a partner and then my partner now husband 516 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 2: comes over and we're cooking dinner together. It does feel 517 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 2: a lot more like you're living separate lives. In the 518 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 2: same space as opposed to historically because I lived with 519 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 2: my best friend for a long time and we are 520 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 2: still best friends, so it all worked out really well. 521 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 2: I just remember when her partner would come over, because 522 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 2: I was single at that point, I always felt like 523 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 2: I was in their way, like I would, you know, 524 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 2: maybe not come out of my room as often because 525 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,479 Speaker 2: they'd be in the kitchen cooking, and I didn't want 526 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 2: to impose on their relationship or what they were doing 527 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 2: or what they were cooking. And I know that that 528 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 2: wasn't the case, because like I love both of them 529 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 2: and vice versa. But I can see how maybe she's 530 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 2: not feeling as comfortable in her space and maybe this 531 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 2: is a deeper way of her saying, hey, you're spending 532 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: lots of time in my space. I want some type 533 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 2: of remuneration for this, and maybe that's where that's going. 534 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, whatever and else kind of think though. 535 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 2: So we asked a few questions. So first things first, 536 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 2: we said, do you live in a sharehouse where partners 537 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 2: stay regularly? Thirteen percent said yes, all of us have partners. 538 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 2: Seventy one percent of you said yes, some of us 539 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 2: have partners, and sixteen percent of you said we are 540 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,239 Speaker 2: single ladies, and then we said if yes, have they 541 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 2: ever contributed to bills? So like, have the partners contributed 542 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 2: to bills? Eighty three percent said nah, not at all, 543 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 2: twelve percent said they have once before or rarely, and 544 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 2: six percent said they regularly contribute. Interesting, I want to 545 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 2: know that. Then we asked the question how many visits 546 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 2: per week warrants some cash to be coughed up. Forty 547 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 2: seven percent of you said between five and seven visits 548 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 2: a week. Yeah, twenty eight percent said three to four visits, 549 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 2: two percent said one to two visits. Sir, and your 550 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 2: boyven staying over one night a week actually missed. 551 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 4: I would be missed. 552 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 2: That's a good word. But twenty three percent of you 553 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 2: said I don't think they should contribute at all. Then 554 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 2: there was lots of responses. I feel like they've been 555 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 2: quite similar to ours. Someone said that poor girl having 556 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 2: to live with up to three extra people in the house. 557 00:25:58,760 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it. 558 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 2: This is where we're different. I'd be like, get out 559 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 2: of my house, how are you? I did not consent 560 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 2: to this cozy. 561 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 4: I think it depends on where that person is sitting, 562 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 4: because I've been in a house situation. There was three 563 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 4: of us, two of us have partners, one of us 564 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 4: did not, and the person who did not have a partner, 565 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 4: I think was in the place where she wanted a partner, 566 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 4: and so I feel like that compounded the thing she 567 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 4: was feeling a little bit. So I think she like 568 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 4: she never said anything about it, but. 569 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 2: One today partner wanted your partner. They could be very 570 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 2: different dynamics. Well that's it. You just you don't know. 571 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 4: You don't know what they're feeling, you don't know what 572 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 4: they're thinking. 573 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 2: Ron, you should move out on your own. Someone else said, 574 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 2: if the other housemates are gone half the time, it 575 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 2: kind of evens out. Nothing should be paid. Agreed. Someone said, 576 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 2: it looks like that housemate just needs to be shown 577 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 2: some more love. 578 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe they're feeling left out. Maybe, But also again, 579 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 4: like it's it comes back to it's not other people's responsibility. 580 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 2: Someone said, one hundred percent, they should contribute if they're 581 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 2: they're for a majority of the time. I have a 582 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 2: similar story. I'm going to message it to you can't wait. 583 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 2: Someone said, if they're staying over, then I'd say they're 584 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 2: just as good as living there too. I don't know. 585 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 2: I just feel like it's all about timing. Like I 586 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 2: started having a conversation with my now husband about whether 587 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 2: he should be contributing at my sharehouse when I lived 588 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 2: in a sharehouse and we just met because we started 589 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 2: staying over a lot of nights per week, and ultimately 590 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 2: we were like, actually, let's just move in with each other. 591 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 2: So that is good. I mean, so far, so good. 592 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 2: We've been together four years, we're married, but like, I 593 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 2: probably wouldn't recommend moving in with your partner if you've 594 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 2: been dating for less than a year. I'm kind of 595 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 2: a Gohard go home girl, you know. I love that. 596 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 2: Love it love that someone else said if they're having 597 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,959 Speaker 2: meals a slash using food, they should definitely contribute there 598 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,959 Speaker 2: as I'm assuming it is shared. I think condiments are 599 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 2: a big source of contention. 600 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 4: True. 601 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 2: In a home we spoke about the olive oil toilet 602 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 2: papers that yes, toilet paper everywhere. Housemates used to dodge 603 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 2: it or like get really annoyed. Miffed is the word 604 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 2: of the day. If you had not bought the right 605 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 2: toilet paper even though well broke you unie students and okay, 606 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 2: now now that you have this solid income, Jessica, you've 607 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 2: been to my house. You know I buy quilt. We're 608 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 2: not going to have this conversation. But as a poor 609 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 2: UNI student, I'm sorry. I'm not going to be spending that. 610 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 4: Can't buy Who gives a crap? 611 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 2: Absolutely not. 612 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 4: Yeah. 613 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 2: Also, that's not that soft. 614 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 4: Who gives a crap? 615 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 6: Yeah? 616 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 4: Not, that's it's not meant to be. Oh, it's recycled. 617 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 2: Someone else said, look, it's a fair request. If usage 618 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 2: has increased, your power bills together and look at your 619 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 2: spend over the last three months and see if it's increased. 620 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 2: That's fair. 621 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 4: That is a very good idea. That's a very good 622 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 4: idea to finance. 623 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. I feel like I've done this a few times, 624 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 2: like with different team members who have had housemates situations. 625 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, well I'll sit down and I'll calculate 626 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 2: it for you. No worries. We don't let you know 627 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 2: exactly what is atually fair and equitable, and you can 628 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 2: take that back to the team and let them know 629 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 2: that I'm in on this too. Now it goes very well. 630 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 2: Someone else said, to cover any discrepancies in bills as 631 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 2: they are paid, set an amount that you put into 632 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 2: a shared Kitty, this was really important for me to 633 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 2: also have it in writing. I feel like that was 634 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 2: from experience. Maybe we've been there before. 635 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 4: Baby. 636 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 2: Someone else said, can you please add I'm just here 637 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 2: to read the results because I'm nosy and I don't 638 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 2: want to contribute. 639 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 4: I do the same thing I do apology. 640 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 2: Can you just to answer our questions? 641 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 4: Say you know the results, answer the. 642 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 2: Poll, answer the poll, don't skew our data.
