But you know what, I 340 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 4: feel like the best person to directly talk about this 341 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 4: because you're on that journey right now, is you, Jess, 342 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 4: what are your recommendations? 343 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 6: I feel like there is no such thing as reaching 344 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 6: out to a broker to because I reached out when 345 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 6: I thought I was maybe kind of a year and 346 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 6: a halfish out from my journey, and turns out the 347 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 6: journey has been one longer than I'd hoped for, but 348 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 6: it was really helpful because it allowed me to firstly 349 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 6: find a broker that I liked, which wasn't something that 350 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 6: I anticipated having to do. And as you know we've 351 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 6: spoken about it before, I found how to jump through 352 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 6: a couple before I obviously ended up with Kate, who 353 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 6: is the best. 354 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 4: So you get that's what you get for trying to 355 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 4: keep it out of the business and out of work. 356 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, not mix work and pleasure. 357 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 4: Turned out you should just be It turns out you 358 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 4: should just mix work and pleasure always you would have thought. 359 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 6: So that was a whole time thing that I didn't anticipate, 360 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 6: and then obviously just being able to prepare. So in 361 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 6: this situation, you can talk to a broker. They might say, hey, well, 362 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 6: you've got this credit card debt. It might be more 363 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 6: valuable for you to pay off that before you apply 364 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 6: for the loan, because maybe it's more detrimental than the 365 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 6: amount of money that you could get. Or maybe they 366 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 6: might say, oh, well, you think you need a ten 367 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 6: percent deposit, but actually there's this scheme that's just come 368 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 6: in and you only need five that you wouldn't have 369 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 6: known about. So I feel like it's better to talk 370 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 6: to you broker sooner than later because they just know 371 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 6: so much more than anybody else does, and they'll be 372 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 6: able to tell you what things you need to do 373 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 6: to get ready. They might be able to give you 374 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 6: a rough timeline and help you out, and then you 375 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 6: can kind of just touch base with them as you're going, 376 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 6: as Kate will attest to you, because at least once 377 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 6: a fortnight she gets to text from me being. 378 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 2: Like, Hey, what's up. Crazy question? 379 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 6: But and Urine, it's just helpful to be able to go, oh, 380 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 6: if I have a question, They're there to answer it 381 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 6: for you one hundred percent. 382 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 4: And I feel like a lot of people think that 383 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 4: they're a burden when they reach out and they're like, 384 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 4: but I'm not ready to buy. Like they're going to 385 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 4: think I'm wasting their time. It's like, no, I promise 386 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 4: a mortgage broker can actually sort out the people who 387 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 4: are legitimately on that property buying journey, even if they're 388 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 4: like two or three years out. And those people that 389 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 4: are time wasters, promise you that they it's not their 390 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 4: first rodeo. 391 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 2: But also, a mortgage. 392 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 4: Broker is actually going to love the fact that you're 393 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 4: there early. There's no time pressure, there's no you turning 394 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 4: up and being like, oh my gosh, Kate, I found 395 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 4: this house this weekend and I want to settle on it. 396 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 2: I want to put an offering that can be that's worse. Yeah, 397 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 2: that's worse. 398 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 4: Like that's scrambling to make things happen. And you know 399 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 4: a good broker will do that and bend over backwards 400 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 4: for you. But you know, Jess, we got you in 401 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 4: early so we could set up your cash flow and 402 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 4: set things up and make sure that you've dotted all 403 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 4: your eyes and crossed all your tea's because sometimes you 404 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 4: just don't realize. Sometimes you'd go, oh, I didn't even 405 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 4: know that was a thing, And just like you said, 406 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 4: sometimes a broker's going to go, oh, Jess, did you 407 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 4: actually know you could buy. 408 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 2: Now instead of later? 409 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 4: Like you don't need that twenty percent deposit that you're 410 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 4: working towards. So the question here was like how much 411 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 4: should I be saving? Well, I can't tell you that 412 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 4: because I don't know the semantics of your situation. I 413 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 4: don't know how much you're buying for, how much your 414 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 4: combined income is, what your expenses are, or what your 415 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 4: life looks like, or even where you're going to be purchasing, 416 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 4: because it will really depend on location too, because sometimes 417 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 4: you need a high deposit for different locations around Australia, 418 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 4: which is wild to think about, but I do think 419 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 4: you should get in touch with a mortgage broker. And 420 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 4: one thing that we find really helpful, and Jess you've 421 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 4: been through this is the hour of power with our 422 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 4: Zella Money team, where they'll actually sit you down and 423 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 4: instead of just having a normal broken conversation, they'll sit 424 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 4: down and go all right, Beck, where are we at? 425 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 4: What are your goals? And actually instead of sitting down 426 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 4: and just doing your borrowing capacity, they'll actually help you 427 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 4: set up a budget and a cash flow that gets 428 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 4: you to the goal that you're working towards and give 429 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 4: you a lot more accountability and a cash flow system 430 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 4: that works and something that's actually going to help you 431 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 4: on that journey. It's a lot more hands on. But 432 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 4: if you're in that position where you're like I'm not 433 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 4: really sure what I'm doing or where I'm going, and 434 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 4: I want to talk to a broker, but I don't 435 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 4: even know what I want to buy, maybe an hour 436 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 4: of power. Session is going to you know, turbo charge 437 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 4: that journey and actually give you the clarity you're looking for. 438 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's move on from that. 439 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 4: As much as I love talking about property, there's going 440 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 4: to be a lot of it next week. Let's move 441 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 4: on to our community concern because this week we're unpacking 442 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 4: something that you guys slid into our DMS about, which 443 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 4: is the bank of Mum and Dad. So I want 444 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 4: to talk about it. The message that we got was hello, ladies, 445 00:18:58,880 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 4: hoping for a. 446 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 2: Little bit of here. 447 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 4: I'm struggling to come to terms with a friend of 448 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 4: mine who just gets handouts from her parents left, right 449 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 4: and center. I have to work really hard to be 450 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 4: able to afford a new dress or even a bottomless brunch, 451 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 4: and she can just message her dad and say I'm 452 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 4: out of money, can you pay for my brunch? And 453 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 4: he'll just transfer her money. I know that's not her fault. 454 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 4: I'm battling with my own feelings of jealousy as I 455 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 4: wish it came that easy for me too sometimes. But 456 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 4: I was just wondering if you guys had any pointers 457 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 4: for navigating the feelings I'm having around money. 458 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 2: Beck. You see infuriated. 459 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 5: No, I just I relate to this so much. It's 460 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 5: such a hard thing to balance because I, on the 461 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 5: one hand, want to be so happy for my friends 462 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 5: who either like you know, get inheritance. It doesn't have 463 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 5: to be from their mum and dad, just anyone in 464 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 5: their family who has the ability to one day give 465 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 5: the money to one day by house. I know that 466 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 5: I'll never no matter what why you look at my life, 467 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 5: I'm never ever going to have that, And so I'm 468 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 5: constantly weighing up like feeling so were not good about it, 469 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 5: feeling like oh my god, I wish I had that, 470 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 5: but then genuinely being happy. And then also, if you 471 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 5: look past my friend who just receivalless money, you're looking 472 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 5: at an adult who purposely wanted this for their future 473 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 5: children or grandchildren. So good on them for being able 474 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 5: to make that happen. It's just a very I totally 475 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 5: know that feeling of being. 476 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 4: So juxtaposition right, but you want to feel good for them, 477 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 4: but then you're also low key envious, But then you're 478 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 4: also like, why shouldn't you work as hard as I 479 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 4: do for this? But then you can also see that 480 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 4: if their parents have set them up in that way, 481 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 4: like they're getting a lot of gratification out of it. 482 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 4: It must be really hard, Jess. Is this something that 483 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 4: you see in you know, friendship groups around you. 484 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 2: It's not super common. 485 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 6: I think the friends that I have, none of them 486 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 6: are ones that sound like this person where they're I guess, 487 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 6: taking advantage of it. But I do have friends who 488 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 6: have found themselves in situations where they've you know, things 489 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 6: have been really tight, and they have asked their parents 490 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 6: for help and their parents have been able to and 491 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 6: I agree, like, I've never received money for my parents. 492 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 6: I never will receive money from my parents. And it's 493 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 6: one of those things where you kind of go, it's 494 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 6: like an equity thing. 495 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 2: I guess. 496 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 6: You go, oh, like, I love my family, and you know, 497 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 6: it's really hard to think about some families generationally have 498 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 6: created that wealth and have you know, potentially really thought 499 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 6: about setting their kids up and doing those things. And 500 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 6: if you're from a family where maybe that was in 501 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 6: a position they were able to be and it's not 502 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 6: because they didn't love you, but it is also hard 503 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 6: because you go, oh, well, this person gets opportunities that 504 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 6: I don't know if I had that money, I could 505 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 6: do this, and you know, it is really tough to 506 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 6: I guess, balance the emotional side of it and feeling 507 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 6: like you're lesser than or that your family is lesser than, 508 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,439 Speaker 6: when really it's just the card of hands that a 509 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 6: lot of people would dealt and there's nothing that you 510 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 6: can do about that. But I feel like she's being 511 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 6: very self aware, like she's saying, oh my gosh, how 512 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 6: to deal with this exactly, which I think is a 513 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 6: really great thing, because if you let those feelings sit, 514 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 6: it just makes you feel. 515 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 2: Icky and gross. 516 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 4: And it seems really common because we took it to 517 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 4: you guys and asked you and did a few polls online. 518 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 4: We said, do you have a friend that benefits from 519 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,959 Speaker 4: the bank of mum and dad? And sixty seven percent 520 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 4: of you said yes, which it's not. 521 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 2: A bad thing. 522 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 4: And I think that what we need to really outline 523 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 4: here is this is not a conversation of judgment, because, 524 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 4: as you said before, Beck, like you know, parents have 525 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 4: planned for that, or there might be intergenerational wealth at play, 526 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 4: someone at some point has worked really hard, so that 527 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 4: situation can occur. But I think it can be really 528 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 4: hard when you're comparing yourself in This plays into the 529 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,959 Speaker 4: conversation of comparison culture, right, and like me seeing Jess's 530 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 4: situation being like, oh, I'm so envious of everything she does. 531 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 4: But then Jess, you know, maybe looking back at me 532 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 4: and going, well, I'm envious of stuff you're doing, when 533 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 4: in reality we should be sticking to our own lanes 534 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 4: and seeing our own finances and seeing our own situations 535 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 4: for what they are instead of what could have been 536 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 4: or what might have been if our situations were different, 537 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 4: because that doesn't change anything. Like you and I could 538 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 4: sit here all day and talk about like, oh, well, 539 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 4: what if we got massive inheritances and no one at 540 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 4: this table is going to be in that position, Like 541 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 4: it's just not who we are, it's not the families 542 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 4: that we come from, and that's totally okay, But we 543 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 4: could talk about it all day, like what would you 544 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 4: do with a million dollars? Or what would you do 545 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 4: or what would you do back if your parents helped 546 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 4: you buy a hat? Like it's nice to sometimes have 547 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 4: conversations that are aspirational, but I don't believe that's aspirational 548 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 4: because it can't happen. So why are we hindering ourselves 549 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 4: with these ideas and thoughts. Instead, why don't we go, oh, 550 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 4: they've bought a house and like they got a leg up. 551 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 4: But you know what, I live in Australia, I have 552 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 4: a good job. How can I do that for myself? 553 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: Like? 554 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 4: Is that not something that we should be rewarding more 555 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 4: or celebrating more? Like, yeah, I know that every single 556 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 4: house purchase or every single financial goal in our community 557 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 4: that's achieved is for the greater good. And it's kind 558 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 4: of like that quote that we talk about all the time, 559 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 4: a rising tide lift soul ships. But I think we 560 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 4: really need to go back to where we come from 561 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 4: and go is that constructive for us to talk about this? 562 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 4: Is that actually, you know, going to put me in 563 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 4: a better place having had this conversation? Or should I 564 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 4: be channeling my efforts into something that I can actually 565 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 4: change or that I have power over? And the easiest 566 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 4: way to be disheartened about a circumstance or any type 567 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 4: of situation is to put yourself in a situation where 568 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 4: you know that that's not achievable. It feels like trash. 569 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, like it feels awful. 570 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 4: The second I start being like, oh, beck, so you 571 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 4: won't get an inheritance. What are you going to do 572 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 4: about that? That's a trash conversation to have. Let's not 573 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 4: have it, Beck, what are you going to do? Oh 574 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 4: my gosh, you've talked about on the podcast being bankrupt before, 575 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 4: and now you know before this episode, Beck and I 576 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 4: were having a good conversation about credit scores and how 577 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 4: to build yours up, and I think you didn't realize 578 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 4: how good of a position you were in. And I 579 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 4: think it's how do we build you up to put 580 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 4: you in the best possible position because we don't all 581 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 4: have the same start point. 582 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 5: That's so true and it is something that I'm learning. 583 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 5: It is possible no matter where you start, no matter 584 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 5: how far back you've gone, it's possible to better your 585 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 5: money situation. 586 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 2: And that is huge. I write abundance mindset. I love it. Yeah, 587 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 2: what do you reckon? 588 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 4: I actually wrote something down this morning as I was 589 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 4: drying my and I was thinking about this idea because 590 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 4: someone on TikTok responded to one of my videos and 591 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 4: we're like, oh, what's the point. It's fifty bucks a month. 592 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 4: It's not actually going to put you in a position 593 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 4: where you have millions to retire, Like what's the point? 594 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 4: I was just like, what isn't the point? Like every 595 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 4: step in the right direction is a step that is 596 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 4: going to put you ahead. And by not taking any 597 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 4: action at all and being like, what's the point, you're 598 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 4: actually securing your worst possible fate, Like instead of saying, oh, yeah, well, 599 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 4: actually I do do ten dollars a month and it's 600 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 4: working towards my financial future at the end of that, 601 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 4: is that not better than having nothing at all because 602 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 4: you didn't take action? And I feel like it's such 603 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 4: a gen z and millennial tone of voice. I suppose 604 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 4: to go, well, what's the point we'll never buy a house, 605 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 4: or what's the point you know everybody else has it 606 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 4: given to them, or what's the point my friend's mum 607 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 4: gives her everything? 608 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 2: Like that's not the point. 609 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 4: Isn't every step in the right direction a step in 610 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 4: the right direction? And shouldn't we be seeing it for 611 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 4: what it is? Like even if you invest over your 612 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 4: entire lifetime and you're like, okay, cool, V I only 613 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 4: have twenty bucks a month, but I've been doing that 614 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 4: since I was eighteen, it's going to put me in 615 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 4: a position where I have, you know, three hundred thousand 616 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 4: dollars more than I was going to have had I not. 617 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 4: Some people might see it and be like, but you 618 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 4: need millions to retire. Isn't three hundred thousand dollars a 619 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 4: lot more than what you didn't have already? 620 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 2: But do you know what I mean? 621 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 4: It blows my mind that there's this idea of well 622 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 4: why bother? And I feel like the bank of Mum 623 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 4: and Dad complained to that because you see your friends 624 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 4: and you see this comparison culture, and you immediately go, well, 625 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 4: what's the point. They've got everything given to them, Why 626 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 4: should I even bother? I don't have that, like, I'm 627 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 4: never going to be successful, And it blows my mind. 628 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 6: What did the people say? What did everyone else kind 629 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,360 Speaker 6: of think? Were they on the same wavelengths? 630 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 2: They absolutely were. 631 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 4: It's actually a little bit colorful, and this week we 632 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 4: got a few more emotional responses than we usually get. 633 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 4: So someone said, this was something I realized when I 634 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 4: started work, and it made me feel better about not 635 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 4: comparing myself to others when I learned how much into 636 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 4: generational wealth has helped some people. And that's from somebody 637 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 4: who is in a state planning lawyer. Someone said, my 638 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 4: parents helped me with money to get a property at 639 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 4: twenty four that I live in Now. I actually feel 640 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 4: really guilty as I've avoided the rental crisis and that's 641 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 4: not something I can say is true for my friends. 642 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess as the flip side of that, hey, Like, 643 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 6: I mean, some people probably aren't selfware enough to realize 644 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 6: the impact that they're having on their friends by being privileged. 645 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 6: But for some people, maybe they feel awkward about it too. 646 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I live in this world where I just don't 647 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 4: think privilege shouldn't exist. I think that if we are 648 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 4: going to have privilege existing, we actually just need to 649 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 4: be acknowledging it. Like I am privileged because I am 650 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 4: a white woman who grew up in Australia and had 651 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 4: every opportunity thrown at her. Yes, I didn't come from 652 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 4: intergenerational wealth, but like I had super supportive parents and 653 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 4: I went to a good school, and those things at 654 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 4: a base level are I guess, gratuities or things that 655 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 4: weren't extended to other people in our community. And I 656 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 4: think that we need to regardless of what our level 657 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 4: of privilege, we need to acknowledge that and if it 658 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 4: happens to be you've got into generational wealth. Great, like 659 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 4: be self aware of it. I think if we like 660 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 4: shifted this conversation a bit and your friend in this 661 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 4: circumstance was a bit more self aware, maybe that wouldn't 662 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 4: make you feel as bad if your friend was like, 663 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 4: oh my gosh, yes, or maybe was a little bit 664 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 4: more sneaky about it, unless like, oh, I just get 665 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 4: mum and dad to pay for it, do you know 666 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 4: what I mean? Like, I feel like it's the conversation 667 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 4: around it because having grown up in an area where 668 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 4: we weren't wealthy, but there were a lot of wealthy people, 669 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 4: Like I remember talking to my parents and then being like, yep, 670 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 4: we're not going to be able to afford to purchase 671 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 4: you your first card, and I was like, yep, of course. 672 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 2: I'll work for that. 673 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 4: And then you know, going to school and one of 674 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 4: the girls I went to school with having been given 675 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 4: a brand new BMW for her sixteen mile said, but 676 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 4: I remember that juxtaposition of being like, wow, like she 677 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 4: has this, and you know, my parents have said that 678 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 4: I need to save and Mum and dad were like, 679 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 4: can you know we can match you to this and 680 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 4: help you. 681 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 2: And like my parents were so good. 682 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 4: But you know, even then, you just feel a bit like, oh, like, 683 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 4: how does this happen? Yeah, but that person never acknowledged 684 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 4: their privilege, and I think that makes it worse, Like 685 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 4: that makes it feel weird, as though they deserve it. Yeah, 686 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 4: like that's not the case at all. Someone else said 687 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 4: good communication always goes a long way, which I think 688 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 4: was really good. Someone said, this happened with my partner. 689 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 4: She doesn't understand my upbringing with money, and it can 690 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 4: cause drama because I feel especially guilty because she got 691 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 4: her unifees paid for and has family savings and doesn't 692 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 4: have to worry at all. Yeah, like that's so true, right, 693 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 4: Like I don't know about you, guys. Beck, you would 694 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 4: be exactly the same as me. You just had to 695 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 4: go to work the second you got to an age 696 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 4: where you could earn go to work exactly, Like that's 697 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 4: how it's gonna work for you. Another person said, when 698 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 4: my friend's parents are guarantees on their property loans and 699 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 4: my parents won't offer to it makes me feel like trash, 700 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,719 Speaker 4: Like that's really hard. Someone else said, well, it's not 701 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,479 Speaker 4: really teaching her the reality of the world. Yeah, but 702 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 4: I argue that's the reality of her world exactly, like, 703 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 4: and that's not the reality. Like just because another reality 704 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 4: exists doesn't mean you have to experience it for it 705 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 4: to be true exactly. Someone said, I'm very transparent with 706 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 4: my close friends about how my parents really support me 707 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 4: and lend me, slash give me money, which I think 708 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 4: is really good. And I think if you're in that circumstance, 709 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 4: can we just be transparent about it? Yeah, Like, if 710 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 4: your parents are being guarantores on your property, I know 711 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 4: that sometimes people feel a little bit guilty, like a 712 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 4: little bit like, oh, I don't want to tell anybody 713 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 4: because like I want people to know that I worked 714 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 4: really hard for this, because sometimes I feel like if 715 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 4: you admit that you had a guaranteur, it's diminishing the 716 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 4: efforts that you put towards getting that property. And I'm 717 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 4: not saying that it does at all, but it also 718 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 4: diminishes the feelings of your friends if you don't admit 719 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 4: to them how you somehow came up with a two 720 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 4: hundred and fifty thousand dollars deposit when they're scrambling to 721 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 4: get their first one hundred grand together as a couple. 722 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 2: Does that make so it. 723 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 4: Can feel like, oh wow, I didn't even know they 724 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 4: was saving for a house, and all of a sudden, 725 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 4: they've got a one point two million dollar property with 726 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 4: their partner. 727 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 2: What How did this happen? 728 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: Like? 729 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, like we've just been saving what. 730 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, it makes it go both ways. My favorite response 731 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 6: that I saw said transparency helps. When my friends started 732 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 6: buying one point five million dollar properties, I was shocked, 733 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 6: But then when I asked if they had family help, 734 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 6: most of them did. It made me feel better knowing 735 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 6: what had happened. And after talking to one of my friends, 736 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 6: she was self aware of the privilege and it made 737 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 6: us feel so much closer having that conversation. I think 738 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 6: this person, aka the person who DMed us, needs to 739 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 6: talk to her friend about how she feels and maybe 740 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 6: even set some boundaries around what activities they can do together. 741 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 6: If she's feeling like there's a bit of financial stress 742 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 6: on her because she has less money than her friend 743 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 6: or less room in her budget. Otherwise, just being open 744 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 6: about it might help the friendship. It's hard to tell 745 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 6: if the rich friend here is being ignorant or if 746 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 6: she's just pressuring her to keep up. 747 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent, And I think the crux of 748 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 4: this conversation is comparison is the thief of joy, and 749 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 4: we absolutely should not be comparing ourselves to anybody else's circumstances. 750 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 4: But then also acknowledging that maybe there is some family 751 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 4: help there sometimes that you don't even see. And it's 752 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 4: also that crash landing pad, right, Like you see friends 753 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 4: who do rely on their parents, they might be more 754 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 4: likely to take on risks because they know, like if 755 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 4: everything fails and if I blow the budget, and like 756 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 4: I go to Europe and I come home with absolutely nothing, 757 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 4: Mum and dad will look after me. Whereas that's not 758 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 4: the reality for a lot of people, Like that's not 759 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 4: an option, Like you don't have anybody to rely on. 760 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 4: And I think that the bank of mum and Dad 761 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 4: is not just about home guarantores and big amounts of 762 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 4: money being gifted. I think sometimes it can also be 763 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 4: that financial security of knowing that somebody else has your back. 764 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 4: It might be fifty bucks, Like you might not come 765 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 4: from a super high income family, but you know, if 766 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 4: everything hit the fan tomorrow, you've got parents that you 767 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 4: can call me, like, hey, Mom, I really need help. 768 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 4: I'm in a bit of a pickle and that is 769 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 4: not something that is exc ended to everybody in our 770 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 4: community either, and I feel like that for me also 771 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 4: falls into the bank of mum and Dad, which is 772 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 4: that feeling of financial security when you have good relationships 773 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 4: with family members. 774 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 6: Super interesting and if you do want to have those 775 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 6: conversations with us, make sure you're following us on Instagram 776 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 6: where She's on the Money AUS.
