My mum was the breadwinner. This made 21 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: me want to be as strong and independent as her. 22 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: This hasn't been easy. I've gone from making poor financial 23 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: decisions in my early twenties and falling victim to lifestyle 24 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: creep to finally feeling somewhat in control. I've made a 25 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: conscious choice not to have children, which has caused questions 26 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: and comments both positive and negative. I've overcome the stereotypes 27 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: of being in a male dominated industry, and I've concentrated 28 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: on my career for over a decade to get to 29 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: where I am now. With no degree, I made six 30 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: figures and I'm on my way to owning a million 31 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: dollar business with the hope to retire in my fifties. 32 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: That She's on the Money podcast and Facebook group has 33 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: helped me so much by changing my mindset about all 34 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: things money. I'm hoping I can give motivation to someone 35 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: else who might be feeling the same way about being 36 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: an independent, childless boss Money Doris, I'm so excited to 37 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: this episode. 38 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 3: Oh me too, Me too. I'm glad to be here. 39 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: How good, Oh my gosh. I cannot wait to dive 40 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: into it, but in the perviviest way possible. Before we 41 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: get there, can you give me an idea of what 42 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: you think your money habits are If I asked you 43 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: to give them a grade from A through to F I. 44 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 3: Think at this point in time, i'd probably give myself 45 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 3: a B minus. 46 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: All right, well, let's learn a little bit more about 47 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 1: that money, Daris. Let's dive straight in. Can you tell 48 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: me a bit more about your money story. 49 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. So, as I said in my intro, 50 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 3: Mum was the breadwinner, so she always had the full 51 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 3: time job, never anything too big and fancy or I guess, 52 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 3: but Dad just did odd jobs and it was a 53 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 3: bit of a laborer, so he kind of had spells 54 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: where he wasn't working. So we were comfortable, but we 55 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 3: weren't wealthy or anything like that. We never went without 56 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 3: or had any problems that way, but I definitely noticed, 57 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: probably it was like eleven or twelve, the struggle that 58 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 3: was about when there was like a drought coming in. 59 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 3: There wasn't as much work around, so we definitely had 60 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 3: like a little bit of a dip in what we 61 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 3: could do and all of those types of things. Mum 62 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 3: was really good because she pushed us to go out 63 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 3: and get jobs when we were younger, Me and my siblings, 64 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 3: we did work in like factories and stuff like that 65 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 3: during the school holidays and you know, as like you know, thirteen, 66 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 3: fourteen year old, she'd get all this money and then 67 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 3: spend it. 68 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: Yep. Great, I feel like I can resonate with that 69 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: part of it. 70 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, that started really really early, to be honest. So 71 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 3: obviously I like to spend money when I was younger, 72 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 3: and that didn't stop as I was getting older. And 73 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: then as I started, you know, finishing high school, working 74 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 3: started working full time, and as I started building in 75 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 3: my career, I just obviously started earning more and more 76 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 3: and more and more, and I absolutely got stuck with 77 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 3: lifestyle creep that one hundred percent. I'll put my hand 78 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 3: up for that one. 79 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: It's so easy, though, you just like slip into it. 80 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: And I feel like if I explain that concept to 81 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: people who haven't really spoken about their money story before, 82 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, okay, whatever, Like inflation, things get more 83 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: expensive over time, and I'm like, oh no, it's not 84 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: just inflation getting us, it's us getting us. 85 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, And so I was one of those people 86 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 3: that quite a few years ago, I did get stuck 87 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 3: in a bit of bad debt, and I had credit 88 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 3: cards and whatnot because it was kind of so open 89 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 3: and available. But I did learn that that was terrible 90 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 3: and I've got a bit of anxiety with not having 91 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 3: any money and whatnot. So I got myself out of that, 92 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 3: so that was fine, And to be honest, it wasn't 93 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 3: until I found the podcast that I really realized, God, 94 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 3: I'm not doing a good job here and I really 95 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 3: need to change what I'm doing. And I have so 96 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 3: much open to me and it's silly that I'm just 97 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 3: wasting it all away. So I kind of concentrated on, 98 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 3: you know, looking at my super and you know, making 99 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 3: a bit of a budget and kind of understanding what 100 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 3: I was doing there. But one thing that really got 101 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 3: me was actually having a discussion with some friends and 102 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 3: we're very open. You know, I've got some really good 103 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 3: friends that have businesses and whatnot, and having them to 104 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 3: bounce off and kind of, you know, realize that if 105 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 3: I want to be as successful as I want to be, 106 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 3: I really need to change my habits and my lifestyle 107 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 3: a little little bit. 108 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: I love that, So tell me a bit more about 109 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: this changing my lifestyle a little bit. Because you dropped 110 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: in your letter in you currently own six figures and 111 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: you're on your way to owning a multimillion dollar business, Like, 112 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: where is that coming? Into your money story because we 113 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: need to know. 114 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, so obviously I have a very good job. I 115 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 3: adore my job, I love what I do, and I 116 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 3: have been very fortunate to work with some great people 117 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 3: and get myself into a spot where I have the 118 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 3: ability to purchase into a business. And that's where that 119 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 3: six figures comes from. It's a huge undertaking and it 120 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 3: is something that's been going on for the last couple 121 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 3: of years, which has probably given me like the biggest 122 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 3: smack to kind of say, I really need to be 123 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 3: better with my money because this is a huge commitment 124 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 3: to take on. I love that. 125 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: So tell me a bit more about this business. How 126 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: do you get yourself in a position where you're earning 127 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: great money and you also have been given that opportunity, 128 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: because that's not an opportunity we all get, like so 129 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: many of us get really good jobs and it's never 130 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: on the table to buy into a business, Like how 131 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: does that eventuate? 132 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, So, in the industry that I'm in, it basically 133 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 3: is people own their own small business within a business. 134 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 3: Basically is kind of the easiest way to work it out. 135 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: Is it a bit like a franchise without being a franchise. 136 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: So there's like one main owner and then you get 137 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: to own like a subsidiary. 138 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 3: Maybe No, So it's more like you own your business 139 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 3: and you're under an umbrella of and kels. So I 140 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: guess I'm trying to think of if there's something similar 141 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 3: like probably like let's say a mortgage broke it. They 142 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 3: might work for a certain company, but they actually own 143 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 3: their client base. 144 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: Yes, okay, So this is where you might be like 145 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: self employed but work for someone. 146 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. 147 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: Correct, And is the benefit to you, like in that circumstance, 148 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: is the benefit to you that you get like the 149 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: brand and the exposure and you don't have to think 150 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: about that stuff. But you get to then and the 151 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: hell you know, and the admin help. Yeah, and then 152 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: you get to kind of like own your clients and 153 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: own your quote business. 154 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 3: That's it. 155 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: That's kind of cool, isn't it. Yeah? 156 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, so's it's pretty full on when you look at it, 157 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: to be honest, But it doesn't come up very easily 158 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 3: and often for people, I'd say, you know, because it 159 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 3: basically comes around when people look to retire. 160 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, And that's. 161 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 3: Kind of where it's come up for me. I worked 162 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 3: with an absolutely wonderful person who has recently retired, and 163 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 3: his basically plan for me is that, like, I just 164 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: look after the business at the moment and eventually I'll 165 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 3: buy it. 166 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: Okay, cool. I love that. So let's segue into the 167 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: next question. I need to know the pervy details. What 168 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: do you do exactly for work? And how much money 169 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: do you currently earn? 170 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm an insurance broker. 171 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: That's why you knew about mortgage broking.

But I find it super interesting 215 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: to ask people in this industry about I guess what 216 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: they're working towards, talking about what we're working towards. What 217 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: are your big money goals?

I was going to say, are you going to 224 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: save up for that? Or are you going to get 225 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: a business loan? 226 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 5: Like? 227 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: Have you looked into what servicing for that might look like? 228 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 3: Yeah? Luckily, we've actually had quite a few people around 229 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 3: us do similar, So I've got quite a few people 230 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 3: to bounce things off of and chat two and get 231 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 3: their opinions on how it will and all that type 232 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 3: of stuff.

You don't have 235 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: to go whole hog and like get the biggest loan. 236 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 3: Ever. 237 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: How good, that's so exciting.

Actually 287 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 3: was listening to one of the earlier episodes and someone 288 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 3: was talking about having a car loan with a balloon yeah, 289 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 3: and that really resonated with me because that seems terrifying, 290 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 3: you know, getting to the end of a loan cycle 291 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 3: and then having to pay a lump sum. But I 292 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 3: actually got my car on a balloon payment scheme. But 293 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 3: I spoke with the financial guy at the car yard 294 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 3: and I'm actually just paying extra to get it. 295 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: Paid off quicker and like not have to have Yeah. 296 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. And basically they had like a deal going 297 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 3: on and the rate was so much cheaper if you 298 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,479 Speaker 3: took the balloon option. Yeah. 299 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: Isn't it crazy how much they kind of incentivize you 300 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: to stay in. 301 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 3: Debt, Yeah exactly. But he was so good and he 302 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 3: just said, if you pay this much per fortnite, whatever 303 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 3: it is, you'll have it paid off before that date. 304 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 3: And you'd be all good and you won't have anything 305 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 3: to pay. So that was I thought, fantastic advice. 306 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, like we're all going to go with a lower 307 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: interest rate? 308 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 3: Yes, please exactly. Yeah. Yeah. 309 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: Does that make you feel I mean we're in the 310 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: middle of cost of living crisis? Does that also make 311 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: you feel a little bit more secure knowing that if 312 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: things hit the fan, you could lower how much you're 313 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: paying on your car and still be okay? Or is 314 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: that something that you haven't really thought of? 315 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess it does. While I'm in the last 316 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 3: like little leg of you know, saving money for a house, 317 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 3: it is actually quite good because I have dropped that 318 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 3: payment slightly just to add those extra couple of dollars 319 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 3: into the savings account. 320 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's given you a bit more flexibility. 321 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 3: Because I look at the you know, what's O and 322 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 3: blah blah blah, work out the calculation, and I'm already 323 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 3: way ahead than what I actually need to be. So yes, 324 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 3: it is. It's a nice piece of mind for sure. 325 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: And how much is your car loan right now? And 326 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: what did you take out? 327 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 3: So it was forty eight thousand and I've got twenty 328 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 3: five thousand left on it. Yeah, so I think it 329 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 3: should be paid off in about eighteen months. 330 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: How cool?

I also specialize 346 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 3: in hard to place Ah cool, yeah, so big like manufacturing, 347 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 3: you know, basically anything that can hurt people or yeah 348 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 3: yeah yeah and in a bad way. 349 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: Oh that would be so interesting to do. Do you 350 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: love it in addition to it being a really good career? 351 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 4: Oh? 352 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I say to people it's stressful quite 353 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 3: a lot. Yea, it will be, but I absolutely love it. 354 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 3: I don't know what it is and whether I'm just 355 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 3: a weird person that likes things like that. 356 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: But ye, no you're not. I get it. I get 357 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: it all right, Tell me a bit more. You've obviously 358 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: changed your money habits more recently. What's your best money habit. 359 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 3: My best money habit would probably have to be that 360 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 3: if I decide on something, I am pretty good at 361 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 3: getting it done. So if I sat down one day 362 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 3: and said I need to change, I need to stop 363 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 3: spending and save a bit more, I will do it. 364 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 3: Like if I put a goal, then I'll cut corners 365 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 3: and do what I need to do to make sure 366 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 3: I get there. So that's probably my best one. 367 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: That's actually a fantastic habit. Like doing what I said 368 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: I was going to do is something I am not 369 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 1: that great at. I'm always like, oh, I'll be better 370 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: at X, or I'll be better at Y at some 371 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 1: point in the future, and then I don't do it. 372 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 1: Like if that was my money habit, I'd be so 373 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: proud of myself. 374 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean, once I get to the end, 375 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 3: I am, and to be honest, I'm not perfect, so. 376 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: I do sometimes no one is come on. 377 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 3: Starter on these things, but it definitely is something that 378 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 3: I am. I'm glad that I can do if I 379 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 3: need to. 380 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: I love that. Can we flip the narrative? What are 381 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: you not so good at? What's your worst money habit? 382 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 3: I'm just a spendy gal ah girl. 383 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: Same what do we spendy on? 384 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 3: Though I'm an absolute yes man. I will say yes 385 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 3: to absolutely anything, so if that's a dinner, a night out, 386 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 3: an activity, I'm one of those people like I recharge 387 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 3: with others. So I'm always out about doing things. And 388 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 3: you know, even if you just go out for breakfast, 389 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 3: it's an expensive thing these days to go out for breakfast. 390 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: Why is it so expensive? My husband and I went 391 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: out on the weekend and he had like this fancy 392 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 1: eggs benedict thing that looked really good. I'm so basic. 393 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: I always get two poached eggs on toast, like I 394 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 1: can't be changed. Two coffees. It was like sixty dollars. 395 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,959 Speaker 1: Be for real, be for real, Like, do you remember 396 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: back in the day it used to be like fifteen 397 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: dollars for breakfast and maybe a coffee will push it 398 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: close to twenty, but. 399 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 3: It wasn't exactly. And that's you add that and then 400 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 3: you kind of go all right, Well, I'm also going 401 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 3: out for dinner that night, or you know, going out 402 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 3: with the girls for drinks or whatever it might be. 403 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 3: That's usually my kryptonite. I don't don't like to say no. 404 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: It adds up, hey, Like I just I can't get 405 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: over it. And like I'm very privileged in that I'm 406 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: still able to afford to do that, Like we put 407 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: it into our budget and we make it happen, and 408 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: that's something that we really value. But it's so tough 409 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: at the moment because I look at that and I 410 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: go historically for me, I don't know about you, dinner 411 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: and breakfast, like they used to be two different price points. 412 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: Like breakfast used to be like the hey, girlfriend, let's 413 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 1: go out for brecky because it's like cheaper and you know, 414 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: we can go for a walk after and like it's 415 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: not the expensive option. And now I feel like I'm 416 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: spending exactly what I would at brunch on dinner like 417 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: before real I can't deal with that. That's not fair. 418 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that probably leads on to my 419 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 3: second worst habit is that I don't know where all 420 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 3: my money goes. So I have like it's set up 421 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 3: that I know that you know, when I get paid, 422 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 3: all my money goes to my bills and this and 423 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 3: this and this, and they all sit in their own accounts. 424 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,959 Speaker 3: But then I just have, you know, my spending money, 425 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 3: and then I look at that and it just and 426 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 3: I don't know where it goes in the end. 427 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: Why do you think that is? 428 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 3: I I've just never been a person to keep track 429 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 3: of it. I've not ever been that person that hasn't 430 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 3: been able to pay something or have got to that 431 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 3: point where I've. 432 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: Had an issue forced into it. 433 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 3: And that's probably what's come from having this higher income, 434 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 3: is that I kind of sit there and I probably 435 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 3: give myself too much money to play with and I 436 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 3: don't need to see where it's all going or see 437 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 3: what's happening with it. Albeit I did just change that, 438 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 3: made a decision on Sunday that I do need to 439 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 3: cut down on my spending et cetera, et cetera, because 440 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 3: I'm getting so close to the buying the house situation 441 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 3: that I really need. Yeah, that's exciting, pull that down. 442 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I feel like the second you get the house, 443 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 1: the spending just increases. And even if you have a 444 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: fully furnished house right now, like you will always find 445 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: things that you need to purchase in this new house 446 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: above and beyond all of the actual property costs. You're like, 447 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, well, actually there's a spare corner here. 448 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 1: I need a side table. You might be buying it 449 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: on Marketplace, but that's still money going out the door. 450 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: Like it is wild how that compounds. I'm going to 451 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: help you out. I'm going to gift to you our 452 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: money Masterclass so that you can kind of get on 453 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: top of it, mainly because I'm really proud of it, 454 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: like I just want everyone to have it. And I 455 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: think that that'll give you really good insight into where 456 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: your money is going. And I think the best thing 457 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: is that it's all automated, so it's like really low effort. 458 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: So put all your income in, put what you're spending 459 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: in there, and it will spit out like what bank 460 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: accounts things need to go to, and like the percentages 461 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 1: you're spending on, which you don't need to adhere to percentages. 462 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: If you know me well enough, you know that I 463 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: don't like budgeting on percentages, but I do love knowing 464 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: what percentage of my income's going to rent or what 465 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: percentage of my income. Am I able to save, not 466 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: so that I can benchmarket against other people. I just 467 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 1: like being comfy with my own numbers. 468 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 3: Absolutely, we will love numbers. 469 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: So we will set you up with that. But what 470 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: I'm hearing right now is that you're pretty money savvy, 471 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: and I mean you're clearly being offered an epic opportunity, 472 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: like the fact that you'll be able to own a 473 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 1: million dollar business and potentially retire in your fifties, like 474 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: that is elite. One thing we didn't get onto that 475 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: you mentioned in your money story, because you know, like 476 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: we're here to talk about money, but this is more 477 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: of a personal thing, you said. I've made the conscious 478 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: choice to not have children, which has caused questions and 479 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: comments both positive and negative. I'd love to touch on 480 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: this because I feel like it's such a fickle space, 481 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: like and I honestly, and I do apologises. I forgot 482 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 1: to ask about it because it's not important to me 483 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: whether you have kids or not, but I feel like 484 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: it is really important to a lot of other people. 485 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: Often they'll go, oh, what's your name, Oh what do 486 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: you do for work? Oh do you have kids? Like 487 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: it's the next question, So tell me about that. Decision 488 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: and how hard it was to make, or like how 489 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: that's impacted your life. 490 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 3: To be honest, it's probably been a decision that I 491 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 3: made a long, long time ago, you know, it's it's 492 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 3: not been in the last a few years or whatever 493 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,959 Speaker 3: that might be. And I've been pretty steadfast in it. 494 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 3: You know, when you just know something it's. 495 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: Not for you, it's not for me. 496 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And you know, don't get me wrong, Like, 497 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 3: I love my niece and I've got you know, there's 498 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 3: lots of people around me with babies and I love them, 499 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 3: but it's just not my future. I just don't see it. 500 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: I love that for you, like I just love that 501 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: you've made the decision and it works for you. Although 502 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: as this isn't on you, I just think it's really 503 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: frustrating when I'm having a conversation like this, and when 504 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: anyone's having a conversation like this, you're probably going to 505 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: agree with me here, and you know, you say, oh, 506 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 1: I just don't want to have kids. Often we feel 507 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: the need to then justify it and go, oh, but 508 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: I do love my nieces, and I do love my nephews, 509 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: and I really love all the other kids in my life. Like, 510 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: of course you do, Like there are other humans in 511 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: your life, like, oh, it's like my friends who are like, 512 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: oh yeah, I just don't like men, like I like 513 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: seeing women. But it doesn't mean I hate men. It 514 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: doesn't mean like we don't have to justify it. You 515 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: don't have to have kids, you don't need to do this. 516 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: You've made this conscious decision and it's in your best interests. 517 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: And I just think it's so wild that we automatically 518 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: default to feeling the need to justify our own decisions 519 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: as though we owe somebody else an explanation. And I'm 520 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: not meaning to call you out on that, but I'm 521 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: more saying, like, we all do it, and I just 522 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: look at it and go, babe, like, of course you do. 523 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: Like you've seem like a really kind, nice human and 524 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,959 Speaker 1: just because you're choosing not to have children doesn't mean 525 00:23:58,960 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: you don't like them. 526 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 3: No, And I mean, this will, this will probably you know, 527 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 3: hit you a little bit. But for me, I did 528 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 3: make the conscious decision to tell my employer that I 529 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 3: wasn't going to be doing that, and in all honesty, 530 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 3: I think that is one of the main reasons why 531 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 3: I was able to get where I am. 532 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's so pervy and that pisces me off. 533 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, because there wasn't that you know, weird thought process 534 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 3: that oh, she'll just go off and have kids at 535 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 3: some stage, so you know, we better not put too much, 536 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 3: you know, on them and blah blah blah blah blah, whereas. 537 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: You've just been really clear with them. Like, by the way, 538 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: this isn't for me. 539 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 3: Because I feel like I shouldn't have to. But at 540 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 3: the same time, I feel like if I didn't, then 541 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 3: I could have looked a bit different, if that makes sense. 542 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: Isn't it sad that that's the case, Like, I'm so 543 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: glad that you've used that to your own advantage, and 544 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: I think that women should be using every opportunity like 545 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: this to their advantage. Like, yeah, it sucks. No, I 546 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 1: don't want to be in this position and be put 547 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: behind because of that choice. But also we use what 548 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: we've got to use and make it work for us, right, 549 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: like get it? Yeah, And I mean, let's be honest, 550 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,959 Speaker 1: if ever you decided to change your mind and had 551 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: a kid, you could be like, oh my gosh, miracle baby, 552 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: Like who saw this coming? Yeah, Oh this is meant 553 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: to be the stars are aligned and it's none of 554 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: their bloody business. 555 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 3: Exactly, But I guess that's probably you know, as I 556 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 3: mentioned in my story, you know, it is a very 557 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 3: male dominated industry because the way we service our clients. 558 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 3: Having that, you know, say, nine to twelve months off 559 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 3: after you've had a baby, is extremely hard to handle 560 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 3: from our kind of position, if that makes sense. 561 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: No, I get it as someone in finance, the way 562 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: people side eye me because I have had a baby, 563 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: and even the way people have side eyed me because 564 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: I say, oh, yeah, no, no, no, I dropped Harvey off 565 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,959 Speaker 1: to daycare so it could come into recording. They're like, 566 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: Victoria is five months old, and I'm like, yep, because 567 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: like I have a career and a life, and like 568 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: this is what I've chosen. And just because I'm parenting 569 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: different to you doesn't make me a less apparent. And 570 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: I just feel like I'm probably in a situation like 571 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: you where I'm immediately defending my decisions even though I 572 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: know they're the right ones for me and my family. 573 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 3: Like be for real, Yeah it is. It's frustrating when 574 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 3: you do you have to kind of defend it in 575 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 3: some way. Yet if I didn't have a career or something, 576 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,479 Speaker 3: someone would be judging me for that, Like, you know, 577 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 3: it's a never ending cycle. 578 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: Not everything is for everybody. You don't want a career, Slay, 579 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: I'm glad you know that you don't want a career. 580 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: You don't want to work, and you want to be 581 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: a stay at home mum. Like I hope that that 582 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: is the most fulfilling job you ever have, because that's 583 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: all you've ever wanted. Like, I don't care what you do, 584 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: as long as you have the tools and the resources 585 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: to make educated decisions about your life. And it is 586 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: a choice, not something you're forced into. I could not 587 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: care less. 588 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely be. 589 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: For real Anyway, I'm glad that I asked you about 590 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,479 Speaker 1: that because they feel like there are a lot of 591 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: people who would be going or how she do that? 592 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: Like what are the negative comments that people are making? 593 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: Because you mentioned here that there are like positive and negative, 594 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 1: and I feel like a lot of the positive are 595 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: going to be like, oh, you can focus on your career, 596 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 1: and oh my gosh, I'm glad you're doing the right 597 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: thing for you and get it. But like, are people 598 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 1: really that brazen that they're so negative? 599 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 3: Still? Yeah, people can be, And I guess that was 600 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 3: the reason why I wanted to put it in the story, 601 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 3: was because there are probably a lot of people out 602 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 3: there who do feel this way, and to be honest 603 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 3: to my mom a long time to understand that that 604 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 3: was kind of where I was going. But I'm like, 605 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 3: I've got siblings, I've got cousins. It's fine, babies around 606 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 3: and be right. But the negative comments that come out 607 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 3: of it always the same. 608 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: You'll change your mind, Why would I change my mind? 609 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 3: Always the same, And I'm like, okay, cool, maybe I do. 610 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 3: But it's always said with that malice of you know, 611 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 3: with that kind of thought process, like you're just being selfish. 612 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 3: You know you're not bring it out of this world, 613 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 3: so you're being selfish or you know this isn't what 614 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 3: you're meant to do, or how could you do that? Is? 615 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 3: It is really odd how. 616 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: Pressed someone else gets about your personal situation. 617 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 3: And unfortunately it's always usually comes from women. 618 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: Yes, I've noticed that. I find it wild when people 619 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: think that the decision to not have kids is selfish, 620 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: when it's probably one of the most selfless things you 621 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: can do, Like I've put me first. We are already 622 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: in a world that is arguably overpopulated. Who knows where 623 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: the world is going. It was a conundrum that I 624 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: had when my husband and I were choosing to have kids. 625 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: I was like, is this a world that we want 626 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: to bring a child into? Like is this what we 627 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: want to do? And if we are, we have to 628 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: commit fully to that, Like I don't want to be 629 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: a half parent, I don't want to be a parent. 630 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: That then decides, oh, this probably wasn't for me, Like 631 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to be boots and all in and I am, 632 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: and I'm so glad because that's aligned to my values. 633 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: But like, I think, having become a parent, it's made 634 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: me realize now that the decision to not be a pair, 635 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: if you were even erring on the side of caution, 636 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: is a really powerful one because it's not for the weak. 637 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: It is not for the week. 638 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 3: No, not with all, not with all the h oh 639 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 3: really you know you get from people. It's actually it 640 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 3: gets a bit tiring at that time. So usually I 641 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 3: just don't say anything. I just say no, I don't 642 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 3: have kids. 643 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: You just look back at them and be like, oh, 644 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: and you chose to have kids with those genetics, like 645 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: be for real, all right, I want to know. Now 646 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:27,959 Speaker 1: we've had a really good chat, and I feel like 647 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: you are one of these people that just knows themselves 648 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: and I love that, Like you know where you're going, 649 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: you know what you want out of life, Like you 650 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: graded yourself a BS, but you have a really good 651 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: grasp on what your money story was, and you're earning 652 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: great money. And you know, the one thing that you 653 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: did say was, oh, you know, I'm a bit of 654 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: a yes man. I'm a spendy goal but also my 655 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: second worst habit is that I don't know where my 656 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: money goes. And like that's so easily fixable. What would 657 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: it take to get you to an A plus? 658 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 3: To be honest, probably just being more aware of where 659 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 3: my money goes and what I'm actually spending on to 660 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 3: see if it's just you know, things that I can change, 661 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 3: you know, whether I you know, don't get a coffee 662 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 3: every day and I just I can make them at home. 663 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 3: I don't need I don't need a morning coffee every day. 664 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 3: Things like that. But to be honest, I think I 665 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 3: really need to probably speak to like a financial advisor 666 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 3: or something like that, just for the future planning. 667 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got one for you, I will set you 668 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: up off air. I feel like that's a really good idea, 669 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: especially because you have such clarity in your career and 670 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: what you're doing, and like, let's be honest, the biggest 671 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: financial burden these kids. You already know you're not going 672 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: to have that. Okay, well, how are we making ourselves wealthy? 673 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 3: Yeah? And that's and that's it, because I do look 674 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 3: at it and I say, you know, I do have 675 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 3: quite a high income. I should be doing more with it, 676 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 3: if that makes sense, or whether that's investing, whether that's 677 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 3: putting it in my super or whatnot. I've obviously had 678 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 3: the savings for a house being the main priority, but 679 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 3: once that's done, I really need to probably branch out 680 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 3: and think about it a bit more. 681 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: I love that. All right, Well, it doesn't seem like 682 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: you're that far off an A plus money Dorris. I 683 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: have loved this conversation. I feel like it's been an 684 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: empowering chat. I hope that everyone listening is kind of like, yeah, 685 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: I love this for you, and they kind of see 686 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: that choice to not have children slightly differently, and maybe 687 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: if everyone in the Shees on the Money community goes, 688 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: you know what we're gonna actively never have a thing 689 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: to say about anybody who chooses not to have children, 690 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: because you also don't know if it's a choice. Like 691 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: I have a few girlfriends who have the hand has 692 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: kind of been forced because of fertility issues, and now 693 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: they will say, yeah, yeah, we're choosing a child free 694 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: life and it's a choice, but it wasn't really a choice, 695 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: and I feel like that's none of your damn business. 696 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, and that's the the hardest part. But do 697 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 3: we need to stop having that when you're having kids 698 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 3: conversation because it is it can be really triggering. 699 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: Get in the bin, all right, Well money, Doris, Thank 700 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: you so much.
