I had 55 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 2: a mental block and was avoiding the topic of finances 56 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 2: because I'm used to being a smarty pants at everything 57 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 2: else loll.

This is what I'm yet to 335 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 4: fact check. 336 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 2: So like I do often go to a cafe and 337 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 2: purchase bread and then I take it home, but I 338 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 2: have to purchase. 339 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 4: It and there's no there no that's an exchange of 340 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 4: money for good that is actually a transaction. 341 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 3: But from what I can tell, this is like free bread. 342 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 3: And the fact that it's Common Home, I'm thinking, like 343 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 3: maybe they're giving out free bread because. 344 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 2: After it's like done trading, like all the bread that 345 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 2: they have after lunch while they're like shutting up shop 346 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 2: or something. 347 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 3: But I will say that if you do go to 348 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 3: like a bakery or a cafe. I was sitting at 349 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 3: a bakery with my girlfriend the other day, maybe just 350 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 3: go your friend.

At 379 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 2: this point, I probably would have blocked me on TikTok 380 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 2: on Instagram, like Jess doesn't need more of me. She 381 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 2: hears me on the pod, so like she hears me 382 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 2: on the pod, then she hears me in the office, 383 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 2: then she hears me on teams, then she sees me 384 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 2: on Slack. She does not need more.

Yeah, be done. I'll go there, especially 390 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 2: now that you mentioned it. My phone's listening. 391 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 3: Yeah good, Yes, so I haven't seen it, but I 392 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 3: wonder if it's what close to you or similar to 393 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 3: what it was your youtubing was so right now, I obviously, 394 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 3: as you guys know, I don't have a back window 395 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 3: because someone broke into my car months ago. 396 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 2: What is your back window made of? Currently? Duct tape? 397 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 2: It's duct tape? Yeah, that's nice, honestly, what can't it do? 398 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 3: Seriously, what can't it do? That was another broad tip. 399 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 3: My cousin dact tape to a vacuum and she has 400 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 3: a vacuum on an angle now but it really works. 401 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 3: But anyway, exactly, duct tape does fix a lot of things. 402 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 3: But anyway, my window is broken, my clutch is slipping, and. 403 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 2: You don't even know. 404 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 3: Like, if you google the most niche and specific thing, 405 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 3: YouTube will have the answer. So I've been quoted between 406 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 3: fifteen hundred and two thousand dollars to replace my clutch. 407 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 3: But I bought a clutch kit for one hundred and 408 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 3: fifty bucks, okay, and it is quite labor mechanic quid, yeah, 409 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 3: thank you so much. And I googled two thousand and 410 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 3: four five speed manual and this exact game. It came 411 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 3: up exactly how to fix it. It's quite labor. So if 412 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 3: I had the money, I would absolutely get someone to pay, 413 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 3: because it's not like I'm being ripped off for anything. 414 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 2: I totally but it's just a very expensive thing to do. Yes, 415 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 2: you're going to give it a hot crack. I'm going 416 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 2: to give it a crack. 417 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 3: And basically my broake tip is that import anyone out there, 418 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 3: if you have a car problem and you have the 419 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 3: physical ability to maybe just have a look, then YouTube it. 420 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 3: I promise it will come up no matter what your 421 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 3: problem is. It will come up, no matter how niche, 422 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 3: and just try that first. See if you can find 423 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 3: the little bits and pieces. And honestly, it's a lot 424 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 3: of a lot of fun and extremely satisfying just getting 425 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 3: in there and getting hands dirty. 426 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 2: Always can do it. How hard can it be? 427 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 4: If you get good at it, you should start like 428 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 4: offering it to friends, be like, hey, if you need it, 429 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 4: replace like, I'll do it for like five hundred bucks, 430 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,719 Speaker 4: which covers materials and labor, which is like seventy five 431 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 4: percent off for them like that they'd be so but 432 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 4: then like you like you can do you said it's fun, 433 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 4: it's a little bit easy money, Like yeah, that's actually 434 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 4: a great idea. Become like the French mechanic and do 435 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 4: cheap services. 436 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 2: That's great. I love this and it actually plays into 437 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 2: the video of mine that I posted on the internet 438 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 2: that nobody's watched. So this week I replaced my wife. 439 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 2: Funny story, Actually, someone stole my wipers off my car. 440 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 2: My car's relatively nondescript, like it's not like I have 441 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 2: custom plates or something, so like people wouldn't know that 442 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 2: it's mine. But anyway, I got my one of my 443 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 2: wipers stolen, which is arguably worse for me. That's super annoying. 444 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 2: That's rude. Anyway, So I got online because my dad 445 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 2: has always said you can just do it yourself, Like 446 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 2: why not. I ordered my wiper blades just from I think, 447 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 2: like wipe a Tech. Why wipe a Tech because my 448 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 2: dad told me to order them from wipe a Tech 449 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 2: and same thing back. You're just key in your car. 450 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 2: You're key in the model, the year, and it tells 451 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 2: you what wipers you need to buy, and then you 452 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 2: order them. They have like ten percent off or something 453 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 2: on their website, so it ended up being super cheap 454 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 2: and you just clip them in yourself. It's just so easy. 455 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 2: I also chopped up my water, did my oil. You 456 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 2: can do all of that stuff yourself. You don't need 457 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 2: to pay somebody. I just do. I find it so 458 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 2: funny because I think the second that you go, oh, 459 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 2: it's something on your car that needs feeling, we think 460 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 2: that we can't do it ourselves. Yeah, And I was 461 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 2: talking to our producer Emma the other day and she's like, oh, 462 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 2: car door handle broke.

Thanks so much. 498 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 4: Bye. 499 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 2: What do you reckon? 500 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 6: Beck? 501 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 2: I feel like you want to be the first cab 502 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 2: off the rank to answer this. 503 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 3: Yes, only because I have a friend who is well 504 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 3: was in a very similar position. 505 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 2: She now has home. 506 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 3: But it's not like organ news because she so she said, 507 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 3: and this is like, really, this is secondhand information that 508 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 3: I was was a while ago. 509 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 2: So I'm probably gonna butcher this. 510 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 3: But she said she is a sole trader, so she 511 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 3: does pay tax, she has an ABN. But I don't 512 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 3: know that you. I mean, I could be wrong, but 513 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 3: you might not need to say what you do. You 514 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 3: might just have to be a soul trader. 515 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 2: I'm not sure. But anyway, for the six months leading 516 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 2: up to it could have been three or six leading up. 517 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 3: To actually getting a home loan, she had to get 518 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 3: a full time job to show that she had what 519 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 3: consistent income that was through a different Nah. 520 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's that's the right wall. That's 521 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 2: like I'm really saying nah, because like I've got heaps 522 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 2: of clients who are sex workers. Yeah, I don't know 523 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 2: if you need to be in an issue totally. If 524 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 2: you're a sex worker, that's a legitimate job, Like it's 525 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 2: just a job, and will address the other side of it. 526 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 2: But if you have a job and you are paying 527 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 2: tax on that job, and you are generating an income, 528 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 2: and you can prove to me as your broker that 529 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 2: you have a consistent income over twelve months, I can 530 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 2: get you alone. It's a non issue. I think the 531 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 2: issue I can see where she's coming from, Like, if 532 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 2: this is your job and you haven't told your parents 533 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 2: or the broker, to be honest, I see that as 534 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 2: a bit of a red flag, not because you have 535 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 2: to tell your parents you don't, but more as a 536 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 2: red flag get a better broker, Like I love the 537 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 2: people that I work with and have the utmost respect 538 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 2: for them. And if you don't feel like your broker 539 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 2: is extending that to you where you don't feel comfortable 540 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 2: to share the job that you do. Like how weird 541 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 2: if I went to see a finance professional and said, oh, 542 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 2: I don't really want to tell them that I'm a 543 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 2: podcaster like, that's I would never want you to be 544 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 2: in a situation where we're talking about money, talking about 545 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 2: creating wealth, talking about getting you in your first home, 546 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 2: and there's something about your financial situation that you're scared 547 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 2: to tell me about. Yeah, Like, I'm your broker, it's 548 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 2: my job to protect you. If your parents want to 549 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 2: get involved as a guaranteur, I would get on the 550 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 2: right page with your broker so that they understand where 551 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 2: it's coming from, because the banks may be going to 552 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 2: ask questions, not because you're a sex worker, but because 553 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 2: they might want clarity on oh, it seems like you 554 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 2: get paid sometimes weekly, sometimes fortnightly, like what's the deal? 555 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 2: How does that work? Like they might have just clarifying 556 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 2: questions because it's a genuine source of income, right, But 557 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 2: if you didn't want to tell your parents, I would 558 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 2: be sitting down with your broker and saying, Hey, my 559 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 2: parents want to guarantee my loan. I've told them that 560 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 2: I do this particular job, or you know, I work 561 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 2: in retail or I do something else. Yeah, can you 562 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 2: just not share that information? And they won't because more 563 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 2: often than not, when you're working with a guaranteur, I 564 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 2: don't actually need to share information about the person they're guaranteuring. 565 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 2: I actually need to get a whole heap of information 566 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 2: from your parents about the asset that they're using to 567 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 2: underwrite your loan, and what they do and what their 568 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 2: income is. Like, it's not so much about sharing your 569 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 2: information with your parents. It's actually the opposite. It's about 570 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 2: getting information from your parents. So it's good to know. 571 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 2: I would just find somebody like one of the Zella 572 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 2: money mortgage brokers who just want to support you, Like 573 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 2: I love a queen who's just paving your own path 574 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 2: and getting shit done like iconic. Yeah, completely agree. Just 575 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 2: what would you do? I have nothing to haden, You're 576 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 2: honestly like it. It's just a job. 577 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I completely agree. Like I think you have 578 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 4: to tell your broker. I don't really see any world 579 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 4: in which you don't tell your broker. But you don't 580 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 4: have to tell you. 581 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 2: Like if you came to me and you're saying the 582 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 2: I really want to get a home loan, I'd be like, cool, 583 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 2: what do you do? And then you're like, oh, well, 584 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 2: my generating income, I'd be like, how, Like I need 585 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 2: to make sure that that income is clean and clear 586 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 2: and going to get you alone. And I'd like, I 587 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 2: actually just don't care where it comes from as long 588 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 2: as you're paying tax on it. And I think that 589 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 2: that's a really good point because in the industry, obviously 590 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 2: there's like a lot of shame that shouldn't be there, 591 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 2: there's a lot of judgment that shouldn't be there. But 592 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 2: you need to find the right finance team that can 593 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 2: be on your page because hopefully if you're killing it, 594 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 2: usually with sex work, it's the type of work that 595 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 2: you need to make hay while the sun's shining, Like 596 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 2: you're not potentially going to be able to do this 597 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 2: until you're sixty five and retiring. More often than not, 598 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 2: I see this industry be quite short. If you're having 599 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 2: the sunshine and you are making a heap of money 600 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 2: and buying your first home, I want to make sure 601 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 2: that we are structuring it properly, making sure that your 602 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 2: cash flow is looking good, making sure that maybe I 603 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 2: can get you into a second investment property that you 604 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 2: can really solidify your wealth now, because like, why are 605 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 2: you working so hard to not put that money to 606 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 2: work for you? Absolutely anyway, I just think that you 607 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 2: should be getting the right people on your team that 608 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 2: are backing you instead of making you feel like, oh, 609 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 2: I don't really want to share that. I get the 610 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 2: parent thing. You don't have to tell anybody anything that 611 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 2: you don't want to share. Yeah, when it comes to 612 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 2: a broker, I need to know your stuff and I 613 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 2: need you to trust me with it. So if you're 614 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 2: not trusting that broker that you're talking about, get a 615 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 2: new one, babe, getting you out with the old in 616 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 2: with a new. Absolutely. Are you guys ready for the DM. 617 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 4: Today? All right? 618 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 2: So here's the damn we got. Hey, she's on the money. 619 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 2: I've been hating on myself a lot lately and need 620 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 2: your help. I'm finding it really hard to balance my 621 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 2: budget with my social life. My friends have been organizing 622 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 2: lots of group catch ups for dinners and birthdays, for example, 623 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 2: and I get serious fomo and I feel like I 624 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 2: have to say yes to everything, but every time I 625 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 2: spend way more than I'd planned, and then I'm left 626 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 2: scrambling to cover my bills. Last weekend, I ended up 627 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 2: spending half my bill budget on a night out and 628 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 2: now I'm really regretting it. The problem is also I 629 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,959 Speaker 2: feel uncomfortable saying no to plans because I can't afford it. 630 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 2: How can I break this cycle and still have a 631 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 2: social life.

But at 700 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 2: a base level, no human being should be expected to 701 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 2: part with their finances to appease somebody else. 702 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 3: If your two options are deep and completely like uncomfortable 703 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 3: anxiety about money, or just not see someone that you 704 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 3: really love get married on the biggest day of their life, 705 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 3: like arguably one of the biggest days of their life, 706 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 3: if that's very important to them.

That's why you've been in finance. 718 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 3: Actually, no, I was going to say, send your money 719 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 3: to someone else. Want to be friends that you really trust, 720 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 3: and that's what I've been doing, sending it. 721 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 2: That's a terrible idea. I know that. Okay, I'm not 722 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 2: sending money to friends like I cannot guarantee somewhere or 723 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 2: or let's just get good at budget cash flow.

Yeah, we're going 726 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 2: to do that. It's a better idea, But I do 727 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 2: do not give your money to a random person, Jessica 728 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,479 Speaker 2: for most spending, how are you dealing with it? I'm 729 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 2: going to give you a bit of. 730 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 4: Tough love and just say deciding to spend money on 731 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 4: dinner or drinks. As much as I completely understand the 732 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 4: desire to fit in in the desire like I fully 733 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 4: empathize with that, as you said, we've all experienced it, 734 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 4: it is simply a bad choice if you're compromising. If 735 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 4: you go I can either pay my rent or pay 736 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,719 Speaker 4: for steak dinner with the girls. It's a bad choice 737 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 4: to elect and that, like to me, that's very black 738 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 4: and white. I know that's very harsh and very mean. 739 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 4: Do we need. 740 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 2: A tough love though, to kick us in the right direction. 741 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 4: I don't mean to be mean, but genuinely, I think 742 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 4: I understand, and like as I you know, you all know, 743 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 4: I have had debt myself, and I've been there, and 744 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 4: I totally get it, and I think you genuinely have 745 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 4: to do some internal work to get past that. I 746 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 4: think it's generally speaking, deeply rooted in your psychology. The 747 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 4: culture of your friendship group as well, I think contributes 748 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 4: a lot to that. And I understand that it is 749 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 4: sometimes embarrassing to say to somebody, Oh, I'm really sorry, 750 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 4: like I can't afford to do this, or I'm going 751 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,720 Speaker 4: to come, but I can't get a round of drinks 752 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 4: for everyone if you're all taking turns or. 753 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 2: Whatever that looks like. 754 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 4: I understand that you can feel a little bit like, oh, 755 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 4: like everyone else is doing it and I don't want 756 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 4: to look like an idiot. 757 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, And then you make it worse in your head, 758 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 2: and then you don't sleep the night before. 759 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 4: The anxietity builds up and builds up and builds up. 760 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 4: But I think the two things that you need to 761 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 4: do the groundwork. Are one being open with your friends 762 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 4: and the people around you, because if they love you 763 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,399 Speaker 4: and they are your friends, exactly as Beck said, they're 764 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 4: going to find they just want you there. They don't care. 765 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 2: I didn't invite you for dinner because I want to 766 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 2: send you into personal debt. I invited you for dinner 767 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 2: because I think you're cool and I want to hang 768 00:34:58,239 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 2: out more. 769 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely can find ways to participate in that, as 770 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 4: you said, whether it's electing for just a small startup, 771 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 4: or splitting with a friend, or even just having a drink. 772 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 4: Like I know that it's not as fun and it 773 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 4: can make you feel a little bit ostracized. But if 774 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 4: you really can't cope with the feeling of missing out, 775 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 4: then your options are find a way to do it affordably, 776 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 4: or let's do a little bit of work and be 777 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 4: okay with missing out on things. Sometimes I know that 778 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 4: I'm a real introvert, and so it probably comes a 779 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 4: lot easier to me. 780 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 2: You're like, oh, no, I can't go.

I 796 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 4: think like finding ways to still be social but not 797 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 4: spend a lot of money is probably striking the right balance. 798 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 4: And as I said, like it's hard to hear, but 799 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,479 Speaker 4: it requires a bit of work on you and why 800 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 4: you're responding to the way that things you know that 801 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 4: you are and why you are feeling these ways, And 802 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 4: like sometimes that means go on a therapy, or sometimes 803 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 4: that means just like reflecting a little bit on what's 804 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 4: triggering those feelings and thoughts. But yeah, ultimately I want 805 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 4: to say, as someone who has been there, it is 806 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 4: not worth putting yourself in a financial pit. Because you 807 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 4: don't want to miss out on a good time. It's 808 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,800 Speaker 4: just not it's. 809 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 2: Genuinely not I say that with love. I don't know. 810 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, don't really mean. Jess is literally the last 811 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 2: person that's going to be nasty me. On the other hand, 812 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 2: when it comes to love, I also think it's about 813 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 2: shifting your mindsets. So saying oh, I can't afford that 814 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,280 Speaker 2: is very different to that's currently not in my budget. 815 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 2: And I think that we need to be empowered by 816 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 2: these conversations of making good money decisions, because future you 817 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 2: was going to thank you being able to say, oh, 818 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 2: that's just not in my budget this week. Like it's 819 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 2: so like and we've spoken about this on the show before. 820 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,280 Speaker 2: Beck you mentioned it maybe like two or three episodes 821 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 2: ago on a Friday, and you said, I hate when 822 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,760 Speaker 2: someone says, oh, i'm broke, I'll have to dip into savings, 823 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,280 Speaker 2: and you're like, well, that's not relatable at all, because 824 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 2: when I say I'm broke, I mean I have four 825 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 2: cents in my bank account and I literally can't do it. 826 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 2: I'm not dipping into savings. And I think that it's 827 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 2: about articulating things clearly, Whereas Becky if you said, oh, 828 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 2: that's not in my budget, that's kind of alluding to 829 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,879 Speaker 2: maybe it's not in the budget that I've allocated for 830 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 2: those activities this week, or it's not in the budget 831 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 2: because I'm saving for a holiday. Like it doesn't necessarily 832 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 2: mean that you have to open the can of worms 833 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,799 Speaker 2: of sharing your entire financial life. And I think that 834 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 2: when we talk about personal finance, it can actually be 835 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 2: as personal or not personal as you want it to be. 836 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 2: Like I could have and I do. I have these 837 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 2: conversations all the time with you guys. I talk about spending, 838 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 2: I talk about my values. Nobody at this table, nobody 839 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 2: in our community knows how much I earn, how much 840 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,879 Speaker 2: I spend, exactly what I own and exactly what I owe. 841 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 2: None of you know that because that's a boundary that 842 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 2: I've drawn and gone, well, actually, that's just not stuff 843 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 2: that I'm willing to share on the show. And there's 844 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 2: a number of reasons for that, one of them being 845 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 2: because I know that a lot of what I do 846 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 2: is not that relatable. Now I'm at a different stage, 847 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,840 Speaker 2: and I have been there. I've been in forty thousand 848 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 2: dollars worth of personal debt when my income was sixty 849 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 2: thousand dollars. I could not sleep because of debt, because 850 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 2: I had FOMO, because I wanted to study overseas, because 851 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 2: I wanted to buy a car that I couldn't afford, 852 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,280 Speaker 2: because I wanted to go out for dinner with my friends. 853 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 2: So I know you because I was you. So when 854 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 2: I'm giving advice, it's not because I'm now in a 855 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 2: good financial position. It's because I had to pull my 856 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 2: socks up and get myself out of that debt and 857 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 2: start saying no to things. And by being able to say, 858 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 2: I know, to things, I was saying yes to opportunity 859 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 2: and yes to being in a little bit more and 860 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,840 Speaker 2: you know, even being able to be given the space 861 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 2: to think about my career, to think about what I 862 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,439 Speaker 2: wanted to do. I just ended up in a better 863 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 2: position because I finally started sharing my journey and saying 864 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 2: to my friends, oh, actually I can't do that, Jess. 865 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,840 Speaker 2: I need to save or I need to you know, 866 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,360 Speaker 2: put some money into my debt, or I need to 867 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,720 Speaker 2: do whatever it is. It was scary at the start, 868 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 2: but do you know what happened. It was like a snowball. 869 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,839 Speaker 2: I started getting out of debt, but At the same time, 870 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,479 Speaker 2: I was collecting stories from friends where I'd be like, oh, 871 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 2: for example, Jess, like, actually, I can't go out for dinner, 872 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 2: like I haven't been sleeping well because I've got this 873 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 2: debt and it's just really stressing me. Someone like Jess 874 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 2: would have turned around if we'd been friends while I 875 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 2: was in debt, like, oh my god, me too far out? 876 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 2: Do you know how empowering those conversations are when someone goes, oh, 877 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:58,240 Speaker 2: me too, like I can almost guarantee that because humans 878 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,360 Speaker 2: usually keep the same company, right like Beck, I'm assuming 879 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,800 Speaker 2: that your very close friend group, similar values, similar morals, 880 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 2: just same me say, the second you start sharing small things, 881 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 2: it gives permission to other people to share their small things. 882 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,399 Speaker 2: And instead of me going, oh, Jez, like, we've got 883 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 2: you know, Stef's birthday dinner soon and I just I 884 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 2: don't know how I'm going to afford it. 885 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 4: Oh my god. 886 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,319 Speaker 2: There I was thinking the same thing. Those conversations can 887 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 2: become empowering, and I know that they feel like trash 888 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 2: at the beginning, because you're like, I don't know how 889 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 2: Jess is going to take this. I don't know what 890 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 2: she's going to say to me. Maybe she'll judge me. 891 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 2: I promise no good friend is going to judge you, 892 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,359 Speaker 2: and I live and die by this quote. No one 893 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 2: doing more than you will ever speak less of you, 894 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 2: and if they do, they're out. So that's where I 895 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 2: will leave that one powerful but literally, nobody doing more 896 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 2: than you will ever speak less of you? 897 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: So true? 898 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 4: What did everybody else say? 899 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 2: All right? So the community, we obviously said, what's your 900 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,360 Speaker 2: two cents? We said, do you ever fall victim to 901 00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 2: fomo spending? Fourteen percent of you unrelated content, Nope, I'm 902 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 2: a budget queen. Okay, did you click. 903 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,279 Speaker 4: That I have a phomo spender sometimes? 904 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,319 Speaker 2: Fifty six percent of you said sometimes it gets me, 905 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,320 Speaker 2: but I'm trying hard to resist. Just click to that one, 906 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 2: and twenty nine percent of you said, all the time. 907 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 2: The struggle is really real. I click that one. Then 908 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 2: we asked what's harder saying no to fomo spending or 909 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 2: the financial stress? Afterwards, thirty one percent of you said 910 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,800 Speaker 2: the hardest thing is saying no to fomo, but sixty 911 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,360 Speaker 2: nine percent of you said it's harder dealing with the 912 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 2: financial stress after spending. 913 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 4: The fallout is hard the fallout and it deals with 914 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:39,239 Speaker 4: it exactly. 915 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 2: So then we said, all right, give us your two cents. 916 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 2: Someone said, do a sober month challenge with a friend. 917 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 2: You're going to save some cash, increase your health, and 918 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,440 Speaker 2: it makes you get creative with your catch up ideas. 919 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 2: Love it kind of cute. Someone else said, at the 920 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 2: end of the day, your friends aren't paying your bills. 921 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 2: It's true, true, savage. Someone said, the only thing we'll 922 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 2: remember when we are old are the memories we make. 923 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 2: Money comes and goes. So true. Yes, that was me 924 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 2: that someone else said. I give in not from fomo, 925 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 2: but more from fear of being perceived as cheap or stingy. 926 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 4: But let's tell you, I hate that that is a thing. 927 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 4: Get rid of it, like be the cheap friend. Maybe 928 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 4: I'm the cheap friend. But like I don't think that 929 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 4: it's a bad thing. 930 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 2: No, not absolutely not. I think it's been the smart brand, 931 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 2: smart with money. Yes, like I think if we sat 932 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,319 Speaker 2: down and you know, you know how you sometimes tell 933 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 2: your friends good things, like we've done this before, like 934 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,879 Speaker 2: it just remember this is so unrelatable. But remember when 935 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 2: we had our dinner party in New York. So unrelatable. 936 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 2: But we had a friends giving dinner and anyone could 937 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 2: do this right. We had friends giving and the plan 938 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 2: was to have a really nice meal, home cooked meal together, 939 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 2: and we went around the table and we shared things 940 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,640 Speaker 2: that we thought were inspirational about each other, things that 941 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,320 Speaker 2: were grateful for each other for and it was literally 942 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,920 Speaker 2: the most wholesome evening of my entire life in Chai night. 943 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 2: But I can always guarantee not one person if you 944 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,799 Speaker 2: had all your friends in a room, if we said, oh, 945 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,400 Speaker 2: what do we think is really great about Beck, not 946 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 2: one person is ever going to immediately go bit cheap. 947 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,799 Speaker 2: Like They're literally going to say really kind things. They're 948 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:19,920 Speaker 2: going to be like, oh, Jess is really resourceful. I 949 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 2: do not think of you as stingy or cheap. But 950 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 2: then when you are like oh, v I could give 951 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 2: you a list of examples, they'd be like, yeah, I 952 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,880 Speaker 2: thought that was just you being smart. Yeah, Like I 953 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,840 Speaker 2: just thought that you were good with money. I just 954 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 2: thought that you were actually intelligent and you were an 955 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,359 Speaker 2: investor and you're probably going to be richer than me, Like, 956 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,359 Speaker 2: is that not what's going on here? Yeah? 957 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,879 Speaker 3: I've never ever with your any of my friends who 958 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 3: are really really good with their money. I've never thought 959 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 3: stingy cheap time. But like, I think there's definitely difference 960 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 3: between if you are the kind of person that is 961 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 3: taking the benefits of what everyone buying rounds, but you're 962 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:54,800 Speaker 3: not buying them because it's not like, yeah, you're like 963 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,760 Speaker 3: me and still a n's just don't buy anyone anything. 964 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 3: But yeah that those who are completely different what you 965 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,399 Speaker 3: know this person could do and what you're doing. Jess 966 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 3: is obviously uv extremely smart, extremely admirable. 967 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, don't they things and not reciprocate, but you don't. 968 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 4: You can find other ways to participate. 969 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, calling someone stingy is moreover a reflection of you 970 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,280 Speaker 2: and your values than of them and what they're doing. 971 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,879 Speaker 2: Like if I said, oh, Victoria's stingy, I think that 972 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 2: just is a narrative that I've built in my head 973 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 2: that maybe I feel stingy when I do something like that. 974 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,880 Speaker 2: But you never know someone's goals or motivations for doing something, 975 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,319 Speaker 2: Like if Jess is like, oh, for example, you know 976 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 2: you might call your friend stingy if they're like, oh, no, 977 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,640 Speaker 2: I don't want to split it. Equally, I actually want 978 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,319 Speaker 2: to just pay for my items. You might think, or 979 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,719 Speaker 2: someone might think, oh, that's real cheap. But Jess might 980 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,799 Speaker 2: be thinking, oh, but Beck's not going to want to 981 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 2: do that, So I'm going to be the one that 982 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,560 Speaker 2: speaks up. So she's not even the stingy friend. She 983 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:53,400 Speaker 2: just knows that Beck only wants to pay for her 984 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,839 Speaker 2: soda water and doesn't want to pay for my champagne. 985 00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 2: You know, so she's fair one hundred percent. But like 986 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,920 Speaker 2: you never I know why someone's bringing that up. And 987 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 2: if your default is thinking that Jess is being stingy 988 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 2: by making that comment, Babe, that says more about you 989 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 2: than it does about Jess's motivations. 990 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 4: Again, you need to do some work on yourself, do. 991 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,479 Speaker 2: Some internal work, friend. Someone else said, and I thought 992 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,080 Speaker 2: this was really smart. They said, I've actually started a 993 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,719 Speaker 2: FOMO savings account. My goal is to get to two 994 00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 2: grand before I'm allowed to start using it. Ah. I 995 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 2: like that she's like, oh, I'm really bad at her 996 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 2: a budget gone. Someone else said. For me, it's not 997 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,480 Speaker 2: the pomo, it's feeling guilty for not being there. I 998 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 2: feel like I've let my friend down. I get that. 999 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,479 Speaker 2: That's why turning up and having a little soda water 1000 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 2: instead just be there. Absolutely, like I was talking to 1001 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 2: a friend. This is so left or field. But I 1002 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,960 Speaker 2: was talking to a friend about going to a first 1003 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 2: birthday and you all know I'm a new mom. I 1004 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 2: am very dad new mum. And I was like, oh, 1005 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,799 Speaker 2: I really don't want to have to drive because it's 1006 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:57,919 Speaker 2: like a two hour drive. It's a regional birthday party. 1007 00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:59,320 Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, I really don't want to have 1008 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,600 Speaker 2: to drive. And she's like, like she would so understand 1009 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 2: if you didn't go, Like it doesn't matter, and I 1010 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,400 Speaker 2: was like no, because people remember not the gift you brought. 1011 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 2: They don't remember the thing you said or your excuse. 1012 00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,600 Speaker 2: They remember that you were the one that turned up. 1013 00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,759 Speaker 2: And I want to be remembered as that friend. So 1014 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,920 Speaker 2: just being there is the thing that's going to be remembered, 1015 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 2: Not how much you spent or what dinner you had 1016 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,800 Speaker 2: or the entree you ordered. No one's going to remember 1017 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 2: yeap Like, sometimes genuinely, I will ordered an entree because 1018 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 2: I'm a little garbage guts and I already ate heaps 1019 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:29,719 Speaker 2: of food before I came out of the dinner with you. 1020 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,000 Speaker 2: Beck like that might just be a choice because I'm 1021 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:37,000 Speaker 2: not that hungry totally. Someone else said I always choose 1022 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 2: to be the designated driver. I've fun with my friends 1023 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,560 Speaker 2: regardless of whether I'm drinking or not. Love that. Make 1024 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 2: sure your friends are paying you for petrol thcause, like 1025 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:49,840 Speaker 2: deserted driver is no longer the cheap option. Someone else said, 1026 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 2: challenge your friends to a month of no spend or 1027 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,880 Speaker 2: only doing activities at home. That way they get involved 1028 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,240 Speaker 2: to and save some cash. 1029 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:57,760 Speaker 4: True. 1030 00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,200 Speaker 2: Someone else said, remember your value and your wife stay 1031 00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,520 Speaker 2: alned girlfriend. Yeah. I think that's a perfect place to 1032 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,360 Speaker 2: leave it, because so true.
