But I 198 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: would say that Jess has been better at it because 199 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 3: I invested in it and stopped and then Jess is 200 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 3: consistently invested in it and you're not in a bad 201 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 3: position with them anymore. 202 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 4: I'm up a decent amount, but also I am down. 203 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 4: My anticipation is once they finished the trials, that's when 204 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 4: you'll see. 205 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 3: See I'm still committed as well, assuming. 206 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 4: The trial goes well. Obviously, all investin contains risk, not 207 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 4: financial advice. 208 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 3: That past performance is not indicative of future performance, absolutely, 209 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 3: which I've learned because the past performance of this stock 210 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 3: was amazing and then she went down.

Why it started as 396 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 4: a like I want to see what I'm actually using, 397 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 4: spiraled into hoarding. Yeah, it's I have a whole shelf 398 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 4: in my bathroom cupboard that like you open it things 399 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 4: like youture it bags, bags of stuff, just empty stuff. 400 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 3: So if I came to your house and I was like, huh, 401 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 3: I'm going to raides this beauty cupboard and then I 402 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 3: like scoop it all in take my bag home, I 403 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 3: would be so disappointed. 404 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 4: I'll post a photo somewhere because I have so. 405 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 3: Many and content of stuff you used and actually like. 406 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 3: But I really should because I always say, can you 407 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 3: not do you? You know you don't, but you need 408 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 3: to be like these are my beauty empties, because that's 409 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 3: the content I want to see.

I'm going to do that on TikTok 414 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 4: and then I'm going to take it to Sephora and 415 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 4: get points because I didn't know what to do with 416 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 4: it because you can't put it in the bin to 417 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 4: recycle it. What. Yeah, most beauty product components are not 418 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 4: like normal recyclable. You have to dispose of them, which 419 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 4: is the other reason I've been hoarding them is because 420 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I know, I need to take 421 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 4: them to like a specific place. 422 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 3: I was like, girl, your deu Lulu turns you're just 423 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 3: actually a better person than me and you're basically Captain Planet. 424 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 3: Because I could, I've been just putting it in the 425 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 3: recycling I just put. 426 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 4: A bit of bag. We'll take them to support. 427 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 3: I don't go through my bins. I would not win 428 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 3: any type of community or like council award Jess would 429 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 3: though you would you win Captain Plannet. And on that note, 430 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 3: all right, let's go to a really quick break because 431 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 3: on the flip side.

Now, let's take a 445 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 3: listen to this week's money dilemma. 446 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 5: Hi, Shoes on the Money. I was just wondering if 447 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 5: you could do a segment on preparing for maternity leave. 448 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 5: So we're planning to fell pregnant within the next twelve 449 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 5: months and we're kind of looking at how to manage 450 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 5: our finances by coming back onto one income and how 451 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 5: to just balance everything there. If you have any advice 452 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 5: that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 453 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 4: Not that I've had to deal with it before, but 454 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 4: I would say my best guess would be start living 455 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 4: off of one income. Now, while you don't have to 456 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 4: do a good well, you've got a luxury of knowing 457 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 4: that you've got the money that you can fall back on. 458 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 4: Because I think it's like a double win, right, you 459 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 4: will figure out how much you actually do need to live. So, like, 460 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 4: redo your budget. You know, on the assumption that this 461 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 4: is how much we've got coming in from the one income, 462 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 4: try it us to live off that. There's probably going 463 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 4: to be some teething where you go, oh, we thought 464 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 4: we could spend fifty bucks a week on takeaway. It 465 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 4: turns out it's actually more like seventy. Make your adjustments, 466 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 4: but then all the money that you save put aside 467 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 4: so that you can then maybe pay some of that 468 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 4: into you know, top up your super if there's a 469 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 4: gap between the government payment, or you know, just as 470 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 4: an emergency fund or for things for baby or whatever 471 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 4: you need. Like it kind of gives you those extra 472 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 4: savings too. But honestly, I don't really know what that 473 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 4: looks like. 474 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 3: I'd be reviewing your contracts so like right now you're in, 475 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 3: I would say, a pretty powerful position. You're not pregnant, yeah, 476 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 3: which means you've got all this planning time, and you 477 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 3: said we're planning on getting pregnant in the next twelve months, 478 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 3: and I just want to address you know, I guess 479 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 3: the elephant that exists when you talk about planning pregnancy 480 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 3: is that it might not be smooth. But like, let's 481 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 3: pretend it is. We're hoping it will be. Yeah, we 482 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,959 Speaker 3: are manifesting that energy that when you get pregnant it 483 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 3: was because that was the time you wanted to and 484 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 3: it was all smooth and sunshine and roses. But I 485 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 3: think good suggestion going back to one income or even 486 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 3: just trying to budget and save as much as possible. 487 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 3: I also want you to do a maternity leave budget, 488 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 3: because I think so many of us go, oh, well, 489 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 3: we will, you know, just be really frugal during that time. 490 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 3: But I would say the fourth trimester, so like you 491 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 3: have three trimesters where you're pregnant, and then you have 492 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 3: the first twelve weeks of having a baby at home, 493 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 3: and that is for some people glorious, for others really rough. 494 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 3: And I was a mix of both like your hormones 495 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 3: are surging. Everything is so hard. I cried so much, 496 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 3: like and sometimes my husband would be like, why are 497 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 3: you crying and it'd be like, I'm now crying because 498 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 3: you don't know why I'm crying. And it was just 499 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 3: a chaos period, right. But something that I learnt really 500 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 3: quickly and thankfully as a financial advisor, I have always 501 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 3: allocated for my clients is like, have I got money 502 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 3: in the bank that I can go for a morning 503 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 3: walk and get a coffee comfortably? You do not need 504 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 3: the guilts at that period of time where you're like oofed, 505 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 3: we're on one income. I don't want to be going 506 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 3: to the cafe and quote wasting money. To me, that 507 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 3: was like a massive achievement if I got out of 508 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 3: the house, especially once my husband had gone back to work, 509 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 3: If I got out of the house and got myself 510 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 3: a coffee or a little sweet treat, do you know 511 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 3: what that was worth it? So, like, what does that 512 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 3: budget potentially look like? If you don't use it, money win, 513 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 3: If you do use it, mental health win. Everybody wins 514 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 3: in this situation. So we're not just looking at like 515 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 3: what are your life expenses or your rent or your mortgage, 516 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 3: Like are the additional things that you want to be doing? 517 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 3: Like are your electricity bills going to increase? Because you know, 518 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 3: maybe you do know what month your baby is going 519 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 3: to be born in it's the middle of winter, and 520 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 3: like for me, that was something that I didn't anticipate. 521 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 3: I'm now home twenty four seven, and unlike Jess, who 522 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 3: is very good with the electricity, I think you would 523 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 3: change too if you had a baby. 524 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 4: Because you have to keep it a certain temperature. 525 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: Yea, Like all of. 526 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 3: A sudden, all I cared about was making sure that 527 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 3: my house was perfect twenty one twenty two degrees for 528 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 3: this baby, because that's what I'd been told. And like historically, 529 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 3: if I was just home alone, I'd just have the 530 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 3: heating off until my husband got home, socks on, grab 531 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 3: a jumper. You don't do that with a baby. You know, 532 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 3: what are your electricity costs likely to look like? Also 533 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 3: on the flip side, if it's the middle of summer, 534 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 3: are you using your air con a lot? So just 535 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 3: having these little conversations about what that would mean. Also, 536 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 3: budgeting for baby is going to be so different for everybody, 537 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 3: and like everybody's got an opinion on how this works. 538 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 3: We've done an episode on budgeting for baby. We're going 539 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 3: to do another one soon now that I've especially had 540 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 3: a baby. But some of us have a lot of support. 541 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 3: Some of us have an older sibling who gives you 542 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 3: the cot, the hammy down outfits, you're doing cloth nappies, 543 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 3: and you're a perfect breastfeeder. It's not going to cost 544 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 3: you a lot. You also go through the public system, 545 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 3: or on the flip side, it could be like myself, 546 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 3: thankfully I had the financial privilege to like fund this, 547 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 3: but like we decided to go through the private system. 548 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 3: I don't have any siblings or older friends who had 549 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 3: cots and lots of handy downs, So all of the 550 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 3: stuff that I acquiring was new. So my budget obviously 551 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 3: had to be a little bit bigger when it came 552 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 3: to setting up for a baby. But there's still going 553 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 3: to be those costs that you can't avoid, So what 554 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 3: do they look like? How's that going to work? But 555 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 3: the idea that you would not only have an emergency 556 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 3: fund but also a maternity fund, I think is really good. 557 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 3: And we're looking back at the conversation I was having 558 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 3: before at your contracts, So you know, I might, let's 559 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 3: say Jesse and I were having a baby together, I 560 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 3: might look at your leave contract and be like, okay, well, 561 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 3: this is what your workplace gives you from an eternity leave. 562 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 3: What's the parental leave policy at my husband's job? Like 563 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 3: what do those things look like? Because for even my 564 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 3: husband and I went planning that, I was like, oh, 565 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 3: you actually have a really good parental leave policy that 566 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 3: we could definitely lean on a bit more. Are you 567 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 3: planning on taking time and my husband always wanted to 568 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 3: do this, but are you planning on taking some time off? 569 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 3: If so, how do we make the most of that? 570 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,239 Speaker 3: At what point is the best time for you to 571 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 3: take off? Is it from me going on maternity leave? 572 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 3: Is it when the bay becomes is it? You know 573 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 3: you take a month now, and then later down the 574 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 3: track you might take some more time. Like how's that 575 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 3: action exactly? How's that going to work for you guys? 576 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 3: And what does that balance look like? But then also 577 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 3: when you're planning on going back to work, so like 578 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 3: maternity leave, yes, you're planning for not having any any 579 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 3: second income. You're on one income, which I'm assuming you 580 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 3: know you're like, how do I budget for this for 581 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 3: that period, because I'm assuming that you're planning on returning 582 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 3: to work. What does return to work. 583 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 4: Costs look like? 584 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 3: Have you looked at daycares? Do you know what daycare 585 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 3: in your area looks like? What subsidies are you able 586 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 3: to access? What type of family support can you can 587 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 3: you not like be reliant on? So maybe not having 588 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 3: those conversations because you don't want to bring up to 589 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 3: your mum that you're trying to have a baby. But 590 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 3: what would that look like? Because your whole budget once 591 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 3: you have kids changes and that can look very different 592 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 3: for different people, And I don't want you to just 593 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 3: focus on that, you know, first twelve weeks or first 594 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 3: six months or first twelve months when your budget in 595 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 3: general is going to significantly change. 596 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, and then I guess you're probably once the baby's born, 597 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 4: even before they want to start contributing or if you 598 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 4: can putting money aside for like future school fees or futures. 599 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 3: It's chaos, isn't it. 600 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot to think about, but there's probably 601 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 4: some really good budgets out there that account for those. 602 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 3: Things absolutely, like a free one on the She's on 603 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 3: the Money website that you could just download that has 604 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 3: a whole kids section. Amazing exactly. I wish I'd thought 605 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 3: of that myself. 606 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 4: Exactly right, But yeah, very exciting. Congratulations, it's a really 607 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 4: exciting time. 608 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 3: Budget, I think is the outcome. And also communicate with 609 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 3: your partner what are their expectations? How are you going 610 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 3: to be managing money? Something that comes up as well, 611 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 3: and I'm just yapping on, is actually you feeling if 612 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 3: you're the person going on maternity leave like that you're 613 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 3: spending your partner's money. It's not it's a household income, 614 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 3: like you're taking a sacrifice. Also, can we please talk 615 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 3: about superannuation? What's that going to look like? How are 616 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 3: we going to be making sure that if I'm taking 617 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 3: a year of maternity leave. I'm not completely off because 618 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 3: the government doesn't actually provide maternity leave cover for that 619 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 3: period of time, but Sexy, they do now give you 620 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 3: supernuation on your matt leave pay from the government. We 621 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 3: love that, we love to see it, but it might 622 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 3: not be at your salary expectations. 623 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 4: Yeah, so what do you need to do to make up? 624 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 3: We got well, we could salary split. That's crazy, partner. 625 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 4: Lots of conversations have keep an eye up with that 626 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 4: baby episode coming soon? 627 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 3: Would you like to hear a cheeky DM? 628 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 4: We got absolutely all right. 629 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,719 Speaker 3: Hi, she's on the money. I have a money dilemma 630 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 3: and would love some advice. My partner wants to buy 631 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 3: a house or apartment together next year. I want this 632 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 3: too in brackets eventually, but travel is so important to me. 633 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 3: I know traveling will be incredibly difficult once we are 634 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 3: locked into a mortgage. My question is traveling while having 635 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 3: a mortgage a bad idea? I know financially, I should 636 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 3: probably just throw everything we have at it financially, but 637 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 3: I also want to see the world while I'm young. 638 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 3: Am I stupid for wanting my cake and to be 639 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 3: able to eat it too? I would love your tips. 640 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 4: I think it's so dependent on your personal financial situation, 641 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 4: because if you're earning fifty thousand dollars a year, paying 642 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 4: a mortgage and traveling might be a little bit tricky. 643 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 4: But if you're earning one hundred and fifty thousand dollars 644 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 4: a year, it's probably something that's a lot more achievable. Yeah, 645 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 4: it also really depends on I know that you've said 646 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 4: you want to see the world, so to me, that 647 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 4: kind of implies international travel, and it really depends on 648 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 4: where you want to go, you know, countries close to 649 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 4: Australia as countries further away First world verse third world, Like, 650 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 4: there's lots of factors that are going to impact how 651 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 4: expensive it will be for you to travel. I would 652 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 4: say that if that's something that you want to prioritize, 653 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 4: that's totally okay, but you need to talk to your 654 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,239 Speaker 4: partner about it because it sounds like they're operating on 655 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 4: the assumption that you're doing this together, like purchasing this 656 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 4: home together, and it sounds like you're not quite there. 657 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 4: You said you it's something you want to do eventually, 658 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 4: but you don't want to do it now, and it 659 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 4: sounds like maybe your partner is pushing to get it 660 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 4: done sooner than later, which is totally fine that you 661 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 4: both have different priorities, but if your partner's operating on 662 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 4: the assumption that you'll be doing it together in the 663 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 4: next five years, for example, like they've probably built their 664 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 4: long term plan around that, and if that's not something 665 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 4: you want to commit to, you've kind of got to 666 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 4: let them know because that's her job to impact what 667 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 4: their plans are. How soon they can do it all 668 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 4: those types of things. So it's definitely not a bad thing. 669 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 4: Like you're allowed to want to prioritize whatever you want. 670 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 4: You know, whatever is important to you is good and okay, 671 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 4: but you just I think, need to be conscious of 672 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 4: the way that that will then impact your partner. Yeah, 673 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 4: and it is totally doable, Like you can absolutely travel 674 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 4: and pay a mortgage, but again it comes down to 675 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 4: like what are your lifestyle expenses? Like, if travel is 676 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 4: something you want to prioritize, does that mean that you 677 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 4: would not be able to afford eating out with friends 678 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 4: or buying new clothes or you know, Like, there's lots 679 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 4: of ways that you can juggle your budget. We've spoken 680 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 4: before about how everybody has different priorities and different things 681 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 4: that they care about, and there's no right or wrong 682 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 4: way to organize all of that. But you need to 683 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 4: do some reflection figure out like is it achievable for 684 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 4: you with what you earn, with what you want to do, 685 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 4: and with the lifestyle sacrifices that you may or may 686 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 4: not have to make. 687 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. The other thing I would be doing 688 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 3: is talking to a mortgage broker about what these scenarios 689 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,959 Speaker 3: actually look like because a lot of the time I 690 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 3: speak to people literally weekly and they're like, we want 691 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 3: to buy next year, and then we find that that's 692 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 3: actually not feasible. Pipe dream, so fantastic, you thought you 693 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 3: could buy, but you know the deposit that you've saved 694 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 3: is simply not enough for you know, you're actually not 695 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 3: on the same page about what you're purchasing. And then 696 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 3: having a good conversation with a broker is going to 697 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 3: do two things right. You're going to work out what 698 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 3: your borrowing capacity is and like, let's just pretend between 699 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 3: you and your partner and just for clean numbers sakes 700 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 3: both of you together, you can borrow a million dollars. Fantastic, 701 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 3: very sexy, very nice. What are the repayments on that 702 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 3: million dollars looking like each and every single month? And 703 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 3: how does that impact your lifestyle? And what does that 704 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 3: then look like for the rest of the lifestyle that 705 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 3: you want to achieve. So are we talking to our 706 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 3: partner about not maybe pushing off, Like, let's pretend your 707 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 3: partner is reasonable in saying we can afford to buy 708 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,719 Speaker 3: next year, Jessica, and you go, yes, no worries. What 709 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 3: does life look like to them? Have you had a 710 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 3: bit of a brainstorm together about well, you know, what 711 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 3: are we happy to sacrifice? What are we not happy 712 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 3: to sacrifice? Like I remember when my husband and I 713 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,479 Speaker 3: were buying, we had a borrowing capacity above what we 714 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 3: actually purchased for because, like both of us were like, oh, 715 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 3: we still want to eat out, we still want to 716 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 3: have travel, we still want to have all of these things. 717 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 3: So we lowered what we borrowed and what our quote 718 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 3: limit was not because that's what the bank said we 719 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 3: could borrow, but that's what we said we could borrow 720 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 3: based on the lifestyle we wanted to achieve, And so 721 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 3: I think that's really important as well. So what does 722 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 3: your partner think, Like, are they planning on purchasing and 723 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 3: they just still think travel is going to be slotting 724 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 3: in there absolutely fine? Or are they like, oh my goodness, Jess, 725 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 3: I never actually thought about this. You're right, like, we'll 726 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 3: be living on rice and beans for the rest of 727 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 3: our life if we take on that mortgage. And maybe 728 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 3: the decision is to save for a little bit longer 729 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 3: so you have more deposit, or maybe it is to 730 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 3: reset expectations around the type of property that you purchase, 731 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 3: so you can absolutely have your cake and eat it too, 732 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 3: But when it comes to finances, everything is about compromise. 733 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 3: So like, yes, you could travel the entire world and 734 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 3: go on luxury cruises and only travel to first world 735 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 3: countries for the rest of your life, but that is 736 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 3: going to come at a cost. But you could also 737 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 3: reasonably go, Okay, well, we really want to travel together 738 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 3: as a couple, it's a value of ours. We also 739 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 3: really want to buy a house. How do we buy 740 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 3: a house but also still have the cash flow to 741 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 3: afford an eight to ten thousand dollars holiday every year? Okay, well, 742 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 3: maybe that doesn't work. How do we have the eight 743 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 3: to ten thousand dollars holiday every two years? Is that 744 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 3: what you're happy to commit to? Like, what does that 745 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 3: look like? Also, let's take a step back. What's your 746 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 3: earning potential into the future. Is that going to change? 747 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 3: Is your lifestyle going to change? 748 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 4: Are you factoring in inflation? 749 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 3: Are you factoring in any of the life choices that 750 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 3: you make, Like, babies aren't for everybody, But if that's 751 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 3: a part of your lifestyle decision, maybe that's why you're like, 752 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 3: I really want to see with the world while I'm young, 753 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 3: because I can't think of anything worse than a toddler 754 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 3: in Europe, you know. 755 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 5: Like fair. 756 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 3: I just want to experience that on my own. So 757 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 3: I think it's all about open communication, which is hilarious 758 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 3: because that's what we always talk about. But if your 759 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 3: partners like, really want to purchase next year, and you're like, oh, 760 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 3: I do really want that, but I also have this 761 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 3: other value. Let's bring it up, Let's have a wine, 762 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 3: let's have a date night. 763 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, And now it's a good time to talk about 764 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 4: it because you haven't committed to anything. It's not at 765 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 4: all out now before you start making choices. 766 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 3: And you can get a budget together now, So like 767 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 3: you can google mortgage calculator and basically every single bank 768 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 3: and credit union has a free one on their website, 769 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 3: and you can put in what your loan would be, 770 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 3: what your deposit is looking like, and it will tell 771 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 3: you what your average monthly repayments on that kind of 772 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 3: look like. Please don't take that stuff as gospel. It's 773 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 3: just for conversation beforehand, because every loan is going to 774 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,959 Speaker 3: look different based on the interest rate, based on like 775 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 3: the loan term, based on so much stuff, whether you 776 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 3: have ELEMI no elamite whatever, but use those as kind 777 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 3: of guides be like, oh, okay, well I didn't realize 778 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 3: that would cost us six thousand dollars a month. Yeah, 779 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 3: did your partner know that? Do you know what I mean? Like, 780 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,280 Speaker 3: sometimes these things are so aspirational and we're so excited 781 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,399 Speaker 3: that we forget to get into the semantics, and then 782 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 3: that's where we shoot ourselves in the foot. So google it, 783 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 3: work it. 784 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 4: Out, whatever we else say. 785 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,359 Speaker 3: So we asked a few questions before I asked them 786 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 3: for their two cents. First question was what would you 787 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 3: prioritize in this situation? So fifty eight percent of you 788 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 3: said travel lightly or paying the mortgage, thirty three percent 789 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 3: said delay the house, go see the world, and ten 790 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 3: percent of you said house first, travel later. 791 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 4: Interesting. 792 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 3: And then we asked what would you do if your 793 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 3: timeline for financial goals was different to your partners? And 794 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 3: a whopping eighty eight percent of you said, I would 795 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 3: find a compromise. I kind of love that because it's like, for. 796 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 4: A second I thought you were going to say they 797 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 4: were going to say break up. 798 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,399 Speaker 3: My heart dropped. Oh my god, I thought it with 799 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 3: financial advice, not like relationship advice. Maybe I should. So 800 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 3: there's this like content creator online that I send a 801 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 3: lot of videos to you of His name's Caleb Yep. 802 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,919 Speaker 3: So his name's Caleb Hammer And if you haven't looked 803 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,800 Speaker 3: him up on TikTok do, because he's everything I've always 804 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,439 Speaker 3: wanted to be.

What are you doing? 840 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 3: Like there was a couple on the show the other 841 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 3: day and he was like, why are you two together? 842 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 3: He's awful? Or like this other girl was on the 843 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 3: show and to the husband, he literally said in the 844 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 3: three years of doing this podcast. I've never met someone 845 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,360 Speaker 3: more dislikable. What do you like about this woman? And 846 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 3: I was like, I would die, I would cry anyway. 847 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 3: So that's clearly not what our show is about. But 848 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 3: I'm glad that most of our community would find a 849 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 3: compromise not break up with their partner. 850 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 4: Jess. 851 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 3: Seven percent said that they would pause the goal until 852 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 3: you're both ready, and five percent said no, I'm sticking 853 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,240 Speaker 3: to my own plan. The you live love laugh queens. 854 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 3: We then said, guys, what is your two cents? First 855 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 3: person and I've just got like a little selection as always. 856 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 3: First person said, you can definitely travel with a mortgage. 857 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 3: I do, just don't borrow more than you can manage 858 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 3: can be done. Next person said extending trips would allow 859 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 3: for renting out the home whilst paying the mortgage. 860 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 4: I'll just. 861 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 3: Exactly, I didn't even think of that. Next person said, 862 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 3: start a side gig so that you can pay for 863 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,800 Speaker 3: your travel. I mean, why not, hustle queen? Next person, 864 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 3: you will never regret traveling and making memories. And then 865 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 3: I have another one. We had buckets for travel, deposit, 866 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 3: and wedding. We ticked all of our goals off. We 867 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 3: just had to make adjustments along the way. 868 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:05,800 Speaker 4: It's exactly what you were saying. 869 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 3: Another person said, I'm fifty one and missed traveling the 870 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 3: world due to a mortgage. Please travel now, mortgage later. 871 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 4: There you go some insight from someone who's lived in yelp. 872 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 3: And then I've got a two parter. So this person said, 873 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 3: I bought a house three years ago now on a 874 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 3: single income. It took a little while before I could 875 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 3: afford a trip again, but I kept saving and this 876 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 3: year I went to Canada for four weeks. Oh that's 877 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,919 Speaker 3: so exciting, I know, right. So, like, I think it's 878 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 3: just about communicating, either with yourself or with your partner, 879 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,760 Speaker 3: like what's the goal here? Can we still do these things? 880 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 3: It's like, yes, we can do everything, we just can't 881 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:40,760 Speaker 3: do everything at once. 882 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 4: Be realistic. 883 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:43,919 Speaker 3: And I have two more for you before I wrap 884 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 3: it up. This one says I just broke up with 885 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 3: my boyfriend over this. Actually, oh, we couldn't come to 886 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 3: a compromise. Well, I mean, if. 887 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 4: Your goals don't align financially, like that's a pretty big thing. 888 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 3: That's massive. And also know your worth and know what 889 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 3: you want. And I'm like, you know, don't just break 890 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,359 Speaker 3: up with somebody over one thing. I'm not Caleb Hammer. 891 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 3: I can't just say that. But I also think that 892 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 3: there's probably some more deep rooted issues there and like 893 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 3: these things where you can't compromise or like I can't 894 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,319 Speaker 3: want you to achieve your goals. Yeah bye boy. 895 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 4: Yeah absolutely. 896 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 3: And the last one I've got is whatever you do 897 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 3: travel before the kids come along. It's so much cheaper 898 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 3: when you're only planning for two hashtag money hack up 899 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 3: there you go, Oh my god. It actually is like 900 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 3: as somebody who's just gotten back from Bali with a 901 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 3: kid who's eighteen months old. I loved it, but my 902 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 3: husband and I were talking about what are we going 903 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:33,839 Speaker 3: to do when we have to buy him his own 904 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 3: plane seat? 905 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 4: Yeah? 906 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 3: Expensive, little Once they're two, they become a full adult 907 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 3: when it comes to flying. So anyway, enjoy it while 908 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 3: they're young we can. All right. That is all from 909 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 3: us this week.
