Like I guess 70 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: it's not really a social media platform, but it's just 71 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: my favorite platform over everything just because of the format. 72 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 2: It's amazing.

My name's Chloe. I am a millennial 80 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 2: money coach and it is my absolute mission to teach 81 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 2: you that finances can be fun and easy. There's so 82 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: much stigma and ickiness around money and finances and debt 83 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 2: and all of these different things that some we want 84 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 2: to ignore it and not think about it because it's 85 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 2: boring or confusing. And I'm here to tell you that 86 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 2: finances can be so fun, so easy, and taking care 87 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: and taking control of your finances can totally completely change 88 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: your life. So for me, I definitely have not always 89 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 2: felt this way. I used to be. I was a 90 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 2: normal college student, very much in debt, very much ignoring 91 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: my bank account and everything related to money, and I 92 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 2: paid the consequences. I was always so frustrated about money, 93 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 2: always blaming everyone else for my finances, blaming why didn't 94 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: my parents pay for my college and why did my 95 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 2: friends like have these better paying jobs or every whatever. 96 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: It's always everyone else's fault and not mine. And finally 97 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: I had this moment where I was like, I can't 98 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 2: keep this up. I have to start investing in figuring 99 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: out what it is that's keeping me so broken unhappy. 100 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 2: And when I did that, I finally figured out like 101 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 2: this incredible process of how to win at millennial finances. 102 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 2: And when that happened for me and I ended up 103 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 2: paying off all my student loans, all my debt, and 104 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 2: everything transformed for me, Everything in my life transformed. And 105 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 2: when I could do that, I was like, Oh my gosh, 106 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 2: Like I am a normal girl, and if I can 107 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 2: do that, I can show anybody else how to do that. 108 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 2: So now it's my mission to teach everyone else that 109 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: they can one billion percent have financial freedom. 110 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: When did your interests obviously you had just said that 111 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: it came from a place or a negative place. But 112 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: when did you realize that you did have this big 113 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: interest in your money and being money smart and all 114 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. 115 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, So I had always told myself that I was 116 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 2: just bad with money. That was the story that I 117 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: always told myself. I'm just I'm not good at math, 118 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: or I'm not good with money, I'm not good with finances. 119 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,559 Speaker 2: That stuff's just too confusing and too over my head. 120 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 2: And because I told myself that story over and over, 121 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: there was never anything leading me to do anything about 122 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 2: my finances because if those things were true, if I 123 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 2: was bad at money, why would I ever take actionable 124 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 2: steps to be good with money? So when I started questioning, 125 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: is that story true? Is it true that I am 126 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 2: bad with money? Like? Who told me that? Does that 127 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 2: have to be a truth or can I choose a 128 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: different story for myself? And when I saw that happen, 129 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 2: when I decided, Okay, I'm going to drink the kool aid, 130 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: I'm gonna try it out. I'm going to try to 131 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: do this whole financing and I could do it. And 132 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 2: that's kind of when I became on fire for finances 133 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: is when I realized that I wasn't bad at finances. 134 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 2: I just ignored my finances because I told myself that 135 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: I would never be good at doing it. So that's 136 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 2: really when my interest in this whole money thing happened. 137 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: Amazing, And so you just touched on your money story. 138 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: This is something that I had to go through a 139 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: whole process of realizing I actually had a money story 140 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: and kind of reprogramming mine. Can you explain to the 141 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: audience what is a money story and how we can 142 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: actually change that for the better. 143 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 2: So your money beliefs, your beliefs surrounding money, are most 144 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: of the time solidified by seven or eight years old. 145 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 2: And if you can think back to being seven or eight, 146 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 2: you probably believed a lot of things that weren't true. 147 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 2: Like I probably thought the earth was flat when I 148 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 2: was seven years old, and I probably like still picked 149 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 2: my nose and watched Lion King. And I've definitely changed 150 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 2: into a different person since I was seven or eight 151 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: years old. But a lot of our money beliefs stay 152 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 2: the same. So to make it more simple, I'll give 153 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 2: you an example. If you saw mom and dad when 154 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: you were seven or eight, you saw Mom and dad 155 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 2: fight about money. You might have come up with this 156 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 2: belief that if you talk about money in relationships that 157 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: you're going to have a fight. And even if let's 158 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 2: say mom and dad were having an argument and after 159 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 2: they moved past it and their relationship got stronger, it 160 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 2: doesn't matter what the truth is. It matters the belief 161 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 2: that you had based on the situation in your own eyes. 162 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 2: So now fast forward to let's say you're in your 163 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 2: twenties or thirties, and let's say you're in a relationship, 164 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 2: and you will not talk about finances. You will not 165 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: bring it up, and that's because you have this internal belief, 166 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: this subconscious belief, since you were a little baby, since 167 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 2: you were a little kiddo, that talking about money leads 168 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 2: to fights, and so you subconsciously ignore it as an adult. 169 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 2: And so when we can look back and think, what 170 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 2: have been our money beliefs as a kid, and how 171 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: have those continued to show up in my life? That's 172 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 2: our story with money, and a lot of times it's 173 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 2: hard to be like, huh, what did I believe as 174 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 2: an eight year old? You know, it's tough to It's 175 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 2: like I can't even remember what I had for breakfast 176 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 2: this morning. It's like, how am I supposed to remember 177 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 2: what I was thinking as an eight year old? But 178 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 2: if you can just come up with stories or kind 179 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 2: of like themes that popped up with money for you 180 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 2: throughout your life, then you can start to identify the 181 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 2: beliefs behind that. So for me, as an example, the 182 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 2: theme that showed up in my money story over and 183 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 2: over was that I worked hard but had nothing to 184 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 2: show for it. I always, even at like fourteen, I 185 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 2: had jobs, Like, I was always working and would have 186 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 2: nothing in my bank account. I would spend it. I 187 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 2: would like waste it on other things, you know, random things. 188 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 2: And so no matter how hard I worked, I had 189 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 2: no money. And if I could trace that back to 190 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: my childhood and to the beliefs that I that I learned, 191 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: I would probably say that I watched my parents, who 192 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 2: are such hard working people. I mean, they're absolutely incredible. 193 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 2: They instilled such amazing work ethic in me. However, I 194 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 2: would hear them talk about like, oh, money's tight, or 195 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 2: we you know, we can't do this, or we can't 196 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 2: do this, and so in my head I learned that, Okay, 197 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 2: they're working really hard, but money's still tight, so you know, 198 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 2: work hard, no money, work hard, no money, And then 199 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 2: that theme showed up in my life. And so once 200 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: you can identify what your money story is, then you 201 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 2: can ask yourself, is that what I want for the 202 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 2: rest of my life or do I want to choose 203 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 2: a different story. 204 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: I absolutely love that, and I just want to quickly 205 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: butt in here and kind of give another example of 206 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: my money story, so very similar to Yule's in Regd's 207 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: of my parents worked extremely hard, And I guess it's 208 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: a little bit different though, because my parents worked extremely 209 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: hard and they they did quite well with money, but 210 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: they did come from a very low income background. So 211 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: when they did make money, it was almost like, oh, 212 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: this is very precious, Like, you know, it's taken so 213 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: much time and hard work. We have to, you know, 214 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: make sure we have heaps saved for if this doesn't 215 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: happen again. So my money story was you work extremely 216 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: hard to have money, but then you have to save 217 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: it really well because you don't know when it's you know, 218 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: going to come back or if it's all going to go. 219 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 2: Yes, Wow, that's so cool, that's so sinking, Poli. I'm 220 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 2: so happy you share that. What's really awesome is that 221 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 2: you can identify that very similar situations you could have 222 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 2: someone maybe you're less right now to this podcast and 223 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 2: you're thinking, wow, that's crazy. I had a very similar 224 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 2: situation to Georgie or to Chloe, but my belief of 225 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 2: that situation was totally different. And that's normal, Like, that's normal. 226 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 2: So it's not just about what happened, it's what you 227 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 2: believed at that time to be true about that situation. 228 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 2: So wow, that's so cool. And for you, the really 229 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 2: neat thing is that you can identify that even that 230 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 2: belief and I think we're maybe going to talk about 231 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 2: this a little bit later, but even that belief of Okay, 232 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 2: we have money, we have to hold on to it 233 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 2: so tightly or it will disappear is coming from a 234 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 2: place of scarcity too, just like my story of you 235 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 2: have to work hard but then at the end of 236 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 2: the day have. 237 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: No money exactly. And that's the sort of reprogramming that 238 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: I had to do with my money mindset, because I 239 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,959 Speaker 1: did believe, you know, you work hard and you could 240 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: get money, but I was very much in this scarcity 241 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: mindset where I felt very scared that any money that 242 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: I got would just leave me, and I had to 243 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: reprogram my brain completely. And it's funny because often these 244 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 1: beliefs rear their head up like again, but I've got 245 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: to almost reassure myself and redo the work and be 246 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: like no, like, don't go back to that old belief. 247 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: It feels so comfortable, but like you've got new beliefs now, 248 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: So actually, let's just get straight into it. Because I 249 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: absolutely love money mindset and money believes. So how can 250 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: someone if they do, you know, have this belief? And 251 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: I guess, like you said, the first thing is being 252 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: aware that you actually have this belief, because most people 253 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: don't see it as that's their belief. They see it 254 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: as fact. Is that kind of true? 255 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely? The biggest thing that people struggle with is 256 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 2: to understand that they don't see things as the truth. 257 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 2: They see things through their perspective. And when we can 258 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 2: understand that, we can realize that all of our thoughts 259 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 2: are choices. And at least when I first heard of 260 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 2: this idea, I was like upset. I'm like, my ego 261 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 2: was crying. My ego was like, what are you talking about? 262 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 2: Like my thoughts are facts, Like these are all real 263 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 2: things that are true and the biggest thing. Like, the 264 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 2: best example of this is choosing a thought is the 265 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 2: exact same amount of work. So if there's the first 266 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 2: thought is I will always be broke, it's the exact 267 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 2: same choice to choose that versus choosing the thought I'm 268 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 2: a millionaire and money comes to me easily. Both of 269 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 2: those are choices. You can choose to think either one. However, 270 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 2: whichever one you think will have consequences in your actions 271 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 2: and therefore your results. And I think that the biggest 272 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 2: thing that people struggle with is they're listening to this 273 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 2: and at least this was me when I first started 274 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 2: this whole personal development thing. I'm like, Okay, I hear 275 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 2: you say that, and that makes sense. But how am 276 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 2: I supposed to just change my thoughts? And the best 277 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 2: way is exactly what you were saying. Those thoughts will 278 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 2: still pop up, the thought that's oh my gosh, I'm 279 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 2: so broke or oh my gosh, like help me, I'm poor. 280 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 2: You know that thought will still pop up. But when 281 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 2: it does, instead of just unconsciously being like yep, that's true, 282 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 2: boom onto the next thing, stop yourself and say, wait 283 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 2: a second, is that the thought that I want to 284 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 2: choose or do I want to choose a different thought. 285 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 2: And the more you do that, the more that that 286 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 2: new thought becomes your automatic thought, like the place that 287 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 2: your mind automatically goes to. And I know that you 288 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 2: are like the que just dog mom ever, and I 289 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 2: just got a puppy, so I'm like dog mom status. 290 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 2: I think it's absolutely the best thing that has ever 291 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 2: happened to me in my whole life. Not to be dramatic, 292 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:17,360 Speaker 2: but it's true. But but when you're puppy, when you're 293 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 2: training your puppy to like you're potty training your puppy, 294 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 2: the best thing to do is if they start to 295 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 2: pee inside is to like no, like come on, we're 296 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 2: gonna go outside, like stop them peeing, like catch them peeing, 297 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 2: and then say no, no, no, no, no, we're gonna 298 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 2: go outside. Because if you if they pee and then 299 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 2: you don't see it for two hours, they're not gonna 300 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 2: remember like, oh yeah, oops ie peed. You know, it's 301 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 2: it's a lot harder to train them on. And it's 302 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 2: the same thing with our thoughts. If we can catch 303 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 2: the dog peeing while it's happening, if we can catch 304 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 2: ourselves with that thought of oh my gosh, I just 305 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 2: thought that I'm gonna choose another thought instead. Like same 306 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 2: with the dog, don't pee inside. We're gonna choose to 307 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 2: pee outside. Once we can do that, then the dog learns, oh, 308 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 2: I choose to pee outside, I'm gonna wait, I'm not 309 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 2: going to go to the bathroom inside. Same thing with 310 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 2: the thought we stop just automatically peeing inside because we 311 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 2: learn oh, like, I'm going to choose that other thought 312 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 2: because I want that other result. I want the like 313 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 2: treat that the dog gets we're going outside or whatever. 314 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 2: So it's just like that. It's it's understanding what thoughts 315 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 2: you're thinking, which a lot of times is your language, 316 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 2: and then saying Nope, I'm going to choose a different thought. 317 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 2: I'm going to choose a different language because I know 318 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 2: that that's going to get me a different result. 319 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: Can you give an example of how someone can change 320 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: that thought, change their language in that moment, to change 321 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: their money mindset? 322 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely. 323 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 1: So. 324 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: The big thing is that a lot of times we 325 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: don't realize our language, we don't realize how often we 326 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 2: talk poorly about money. So the best way to do 327 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 2: this is to ask the person that you talk to most. 328 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 2: So if it's your boyfriend or your girlfriend, or your 329 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 2: best friend or your sister mom, ask them, hey, how 330 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: do I talk about money? Because they will tell you. 331 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 2: They will say, girl, you're always complaining about money. You're 332 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 2: always saying that you're broke. You're always talking, you know, 333 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 2: badly about our friend from high school who just bought 334 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 2: an expensive purse. And so it's like when we can understand, 335 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, so you notice how I talk. I 336 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 2: need to be more conscious of the way I'm speaking. 337 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,479 Speaker 2: That helps us realize what we're actually saying and what 338 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 2: we're putting into motion, which helps us identify what our 339 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,959 Speaker 2: beliefs are about money. So I talk about this a lot. 340 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 2: This is like one of my foundational things. And it's 341 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 2: called b tfaar. Have you have you heard of that? No? No, okay, 342 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 2: Oh I think you'll love this. So it's b tfar 343 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 2: which is belief, thought, feeling, action result. So it starts 344 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 2: with the belief. And once you have that belief of 345 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 2: let's say your belief is I will never get ahead 346 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 2: with money, like I'll never be well off with money. 347 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 2: So that's a be belief. The next is the thought. 348 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 2: So what are the thoughts that you're thinking based on 349 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 2: this belief, you think, oh this, you know, I'm so broke. 350 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 2: I can never have nice things. I'll never be able 351 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 2: to afford that. So how does that make you feel? 352 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 2: You feel icky about money. You feel weird when people 353 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 2: try to pay you money because you don't feel like 354 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 2: you're deserving or receiving it. You feel mad when you 355 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 2: see other people have nice things because you don't think 356 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 2: you'll ever have them. So because you feel that way, 357 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 2: what are your actions? Maybe you don't look at your 358 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 2: accounts because you want to ignore them. Maybe you don't 359 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 2: even try to save because what's the point. Money always 360 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 2: leaves anyway. So because of those actions, what are your results? 361 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 2: Your results are that you don't get ahead with money, 362 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 2: and then that result reinforces the belief. So it's like 363 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 2: this whole trickling down thing where it's like belief, thought, feeling, action, result. 364 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 2: So it all starts at our belief. But sometimes the 365 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 2: beliefs are hard to pinpoint, so it's easy to start 366 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 2: with our thoughts and then understand this train and say, wow, 367 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 2: I need to break that cycle. Because when I break 368 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 2: that cycle and I can get that new result, that 369 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 2: new result will reinforce this new belief of like, hey, 370 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 2: actually financial freedom is possible for me. 371 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: That is amazing, and you're totally right. I'm obsessed with that. 372 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: I wrote that down. 373 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 2: I love it. And you can use that philosophy for anything. 374 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,479 Speaker 2: You can use it for health and fitness, you can 375 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 2: use it for anything. It's so empowering. I'm obsessed with it. 376 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 2: I talk about it all the time. I'm like, I 377 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 2: might as well get a tattoo of it somewhere on 378 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 2: my body because. 379 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: I love it. I absolutely love that, and it is 380 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: so true. And it's funny because I was actually having 381 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: this conversation. I'm just going to go off on a 382 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: bit of its edge in Yu because he as a human. 383 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: But I was having this conversation with a friend and 384 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: she said to me, I would hate to be like 385 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: really wealthy. And I was like, what, Like, what are 386 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: you talking about? And she was like, you know, I 387 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: would hate to be really wealthy. It just seems like 388 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: it comes with all these problems and it seems like, 389 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: you know, they can't relate to normal people. And she 390 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: was explaining it, and all I was thinking is like 391 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: she had really set these beliefs in motion and it's 392 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: like she thought it was fact. And I thought to myself, 393 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: it's no wonder that she felt like she could never 394 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: get ahead, that she could never save is because she 395 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: had these beliefs that, like, really to her core, she 396 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: felt them, she believed in them. And so it's so 397 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: funny that you can then switch that around and you 398 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: completely transform your money circumstances. And so personally, before we 399 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,239 Speaker 1: recorded this episode, me and Chloe were talking about the 400 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: best book ever, which is How to Be a Badass 401 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: at Making Money by Jen Cincro. And in that book, 402 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: I remember she would give us like money mindset mantras, 403 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: and I was wondering, do you have any mantras that 404 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: you go to that you help people with that can 405 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: kind of help in these situations? 406 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,239 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, all the time you that conversation is 407 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 2: so cool that you were talking about you and your friend. 408 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 2: And it's so funny because once you're aware of money mindset, 409 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 2: it's like every conversation you have, you're thinking, like, man, 410 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 2: I wonder what her inner childhood scars are that helped her, 411 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 2: like that led her to this place of believing this. 412 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 2: You know, It's like I always think that, And it 413 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 2: also like the crazy thing is for that your friend 414 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 2: that you are talking to, And I think a lot 415 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 2: of people relate to that. I think a lot of 416 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 2: people have so much weird feeling about being wealthy that 417 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 2: it stops them from attracting money, which is what they 418 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 2: say they want. So it's like this weird thing. And 419 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 2: if that's you question that, like, ask yourself, is it 420 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 2: true that all people who are wealthy have all these 421 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 2: problems or they're greedy, or they're rude or whatever it 422 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 2: is you feel that stigma to be true about wealthy people? 423 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 2: Ask yourself, is there an exception to the rule? Can 424 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 2: I think of someone who is super wealthy and doing 425 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 2: incredible things in the world, Like I just like thought 426 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 2: of like Ellen DeGeneres, but she is Yeah, I don't 427 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 2: know why that was the first person I thought of, 428 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 2: but I do love her. But she is super wealthy 429 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 2: and doing incredible things in the world. And so if 430 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 2: we change that story to be what if I became 431 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 2: so wealthy and because I'm such a good person with 432 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 2: a good heart, I go and transform the world. I 433 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 2: go and donate to my community, I go and help 434 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 2: my family, Like what if that was the truth about 435 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 2: being wealthy. How would that change your perspective of money? 436 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 2: It would totally transform it. But that was just that 437 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 2: was just a tangent had to share. 438 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: It's funny you said that, because that's exactly what I said, 439 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: and I like explained to my friend. I was like, 440 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 1: I think what you're missing is, you know, when we 441 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: do have more money, that means more resources, and like 442 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: most people are good people, and the more resources they have, 443 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 1: the more they. 444 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 2: Can give back. 445 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: And so I kind of did a little example with 446 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: her and I was like, for example, this podcast when 447 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: I started it, I obviously started it with all my 448 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,719 Speaker 1: own funds and I didn't have anyone backing me. It 449 00:25:53,760 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: was completely independent. And like the messages and the fear 450 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: feedback that I get from this podcast of how it 451 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 1: has helped women, and it's a completely free resource that 452 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: I could put out because I did have the resources 453 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: to do that. And so I kind of said that 454 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: that way. And that's obviously on a very kind of 455 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: low scale. I'm not you know this extreme Oh my god, person, 456 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: yes you are. 457 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 2: Don't even that's a big scale, Like you're changing lives, 458 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 2: that's huge. 459 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: And yeah, and so I kind of said that, and 460 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: it's kind of like she was like, yeah, like hadn't 461 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: thought of it that way. So it's really about, like 462 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: you said, like questioning those thoughts and being like, but 463 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: wait a minute. You know people can do amazing things 464 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: if they do have money exactly. 465 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 2: And if you know someone or if you have this 466 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 2: idea of someone that is very wealthy and they maybe 467 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 2: don't do great things in your eyes with money, okay, 468 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,239 Speaker 2: you if you were wealthy, you could go out and 469 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 2: do great things. And so, just like you were saying, 470 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 2: my favorite example is, okay, think of your favorite charity. 471 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 2: If you are broke or you're living paycheck to paycheck, 472 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 2: how much can you do for your favorite local charity. 473 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 2: Let's say a rescue dog shelter. How much can you do? 474 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 2: Maybe you can volunteer a couple hours a week, or 475 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 2: maybe you can donate a bag of dog food, which 476 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 2: I'm not like dissing at all. It's amazing. If that's 477 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,719 Speaker 2: where you're at, kudos to you for doing that and 478 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 2: for putting in that work. But here's the thing. If 479 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 2: you're a millionaire and you're not broke, and you're not 480 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 2: living paycheck to paycheck, then what can you do for 481 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 2: that shelter, you can hire more staff, you can buy 482 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 2: all the food for the next year, you can open 483 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 2: up another shelter. And so, just like you said, the 484 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 2: more money that you have, the more good that you 485 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 2: can do. And so I tell my clients not only 486 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 2: do I want you to want more money, I think 487 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 2: it's your duty to want more money and to go 488 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 2: out and get it and to financially plan for it. 489 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 2: Because when you're in survival mode, when you're my only 490 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 2: thought about money is how can I get my next meal? 491 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 2: How can I afford to buy groceries this month? You're 492 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 2: not thinking outwardly. You're not thinking how can I go 493 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 2: donate a million dollars. You're just trying to like make 494 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 2: it through the week. And so when you have more 495 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 2: money and when you have more resources, it overflows and 496 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 2: everyone wins. Everyone else wins too.

One of my favorite 563 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 2: quotes is what follows I am is what you will become. 564 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 2: So if you are always saying I am broke, I 565 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 2: am stupid, I'm fat, I am dumb, Like those are 566 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 2: the things that you're headed towards. If you're always saying 567 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 2: I am abundant, I am a millionaire, I am awesome, 568 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,239 Speaker 2: I am a business owner, I am this whatever you 569 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 2: want to be if that's what you're saying, even if 570 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 2: it's not where you're at right now, it's what you're becoming. 571 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,719 Speaker 2: And so really really really just focusing on words that 572 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 2: speak to you and light that fire in you that's 573 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 2: going to just absolutely be so impactful on your life. 574 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.

Thank you, Ky, 576 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: And I want to quickly jump in there and add 577 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: in mind because mine was very helpful. So, like I said, 578 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: my money story was very much that scarcity mindset. So 579 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: something that really helped me personally is when I would 580 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: spend money, you know, like getting groceries or buying something 581 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: or maybe even buying something that was quite expensive, I 582 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: would say to myself, there's more where that came from. 583 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: And that was like very helpful to me to be like, 584 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: don't be scared to spend money like you attract money. 585 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: There is more where that came from. And that was 586 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: something that I did for like a whole year and 587 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 1: it was like the best thing to get me out 588 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: of that scarcity mindset. 589 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 2: I love that one. It's and it's like I feel 590 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 2: the same way. It's like those simple ones that speak 591 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 2: to you that makes the biggest difference. I love that one. 592 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 2: I'm gonna start using that too. I love it. 593 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, It's definitely all about finding something that resonates with 594 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: you and like what you want to work on. So 595 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: I love what you said about really finding like what 596 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: evokes a feeling in your like in your body when 597 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 1: you say it. Yes, absolutely, Okay, So I want to 598 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: switch gears. We've talked a lot about money mindset, like 599 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: my favorite topic, so that's why. But I want to 600 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: have a chat about some more logistical terms with money, 601 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: and I want to chat about budgeting and investments and 602 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff. So I know, at the moment, 603 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 1: millennials definitely feel like, especially in Australia, we get told 604 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: that you know, this is the hardest ever generation that 605 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: to afford a house and you know, things is so 606 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 1: expensive and it's so hard to actually save money because 607 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: things like cost so much. So I want to chat 608 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: about why do you think millennials struggle so much to 609 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:23,399 Speaker 1: take control of their finances and what can we do 610 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: to feel more empowered. 611 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 2: I think that the biggest reason that millennials struggle so 612 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 2: much is because of the belief around what is possible 613 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 2: for millennials. Just like you said, I mean, you can 614 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 2: see articles everywhere about millennials with the biggest student loan 615 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 2: debt ever, like millennials can't afford to pay rent, like 616 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 2: millennials this, and millennials that, And when we go into 617 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 2: our lives, like when we go into college or when 618 00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 2: we go into a real job, and our belief is that, Okay, 619 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 2: debt is super normal. I'm going to have it for 620 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 2: the rest of my life. I'm never going to have 621 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:10,760 Speaker 2: a savings and all of these other statistics we don't 622 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 2: work towards whatever that goal is. And I think, especially 623 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 2: I kind of said this a second ago, but debt 624 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:22,439 Speaker 2: especially has been so normalized that we just assume we'll 625 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 2: have debt forever, and a lot of that can sometimes 626 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 2: be to our detriment. And for me, like the reason 627 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 2: I work with millennials is because I do not believe 628 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,919 Speaker 2: the story that our culture is telling us about what's 629 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 2: possible for millennials. I think the opposite, because here's the thing. 630 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 2: If I am about to work with someone who is, 631 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 2: let's say sixty years old, and they are in a 632 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 2: really not so great financial position, but they want to 633 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 2: retire in at sixty five, they have five years to 634 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 2: figure out their finances. They have five years to clean 635 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 2: up a mess that probably took them forty five years 636 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,839 Speaker 2: to create, and then they have five years to turn 637 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 2: it around and then retire. If you're twenty five, you 638 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 2: have your whole freaking life to do this, Like, you 639 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 2: have so much time. And so when you start to 640 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 2: really take control of your finances, now you have the 641 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 2: rest of your life to reap the benefit of it. 642 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 2: And so, if anything, I'm like on a mission like 643 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 2: let's flip the story, like millennials are in the best place. 644 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 2: It's like I oftentimes like I'll write an Instagram post 645 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 2: and I'll say, hey, don't tell your parents this, but 646 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,359 Speaker 2: like you're going to be so much better off than 647 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 2: they were, or you're going to be in such a 648 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 2: better financial position because a lot of the our parents generation, 649 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 2: like they are at a place where they only have 650 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,840 Speaker 2: a couple years to figure things out if they haven't 651 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 2: done it already. But if millennials are learning finances now, 652 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,320 Speaker 2: they have so much time. So I'm like all fired 653 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 2: up about No, you can have this, Like this has 654 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 2: passive love for you. But I think the biggest thing 655 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,399 Speaker 2: that millennials need to do in order to have that 656 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 2: in order to have financial freedom. And also, let me 657 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,320 Speaker 2: add to that, in order to have financial freedom now, 658 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 2: I do not think that you should have to wait 659 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 2: until you're fifty five to have fun and to travel 660 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 2: and to do all these awesome things. I think you 661 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,840 Speaker 2: should be able to do that now. And that's the 662 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 2: cool thing about figuring out your finances now.

So let's chat about investments and you know, 718 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: what is a good investment, what should we be looking for, 719 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:47,520 Speaker 1: and all that. 720 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 2: Sort of stuff. Absolutely, So first, before I talk about 721 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 2: investments in general, I want to do like a little MythBuster, 722 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 2: because a lot of millennials think that, oh my gosh, 723 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 2: i'm behind, I need to start investing in the stock 724 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:11,959 Speaker 2: market today, And what they're not realizing is that they 725 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 2: have let's say they have credit card debt and they 726 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,760 Speaker 2: have a credit card that has a twenty five percent 727 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,959 Speaker 2: interest rate, and they have a balance on their credit card. 728 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:26,399 Speaker 2: If they are not paying that off, that means they're 729 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 2: losing money at a twenty five percent rate, and that 730 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 2: stinks like that is that's a big time. So if 731 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 2: you're losing money at a twenty five percent rate, why 732 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,880 Speaker 2: would you want to go into the stock market. And 733 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 2: let's say you are gaining money at a seven percent increase. 734 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 2: You're gaining money at a seven percent increase, but because 735 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,879 Speaker 2: you have that credit card debt, you're losing money at 736 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:57,359 Speaker 2: a twenty five percent increase. So if you even those out, 737 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 2: you're still losing money. Big time. And so the biggest 738 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 2: like my MythBuster before we dive into more of the 739 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 2: investment stuff, is that your best investment if you have 740 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,839 Speaker 2: or if you have credit card debt, and you have 741 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 2: credit card debt at a high interest rate, is to 742 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 2: pay that off because not only is there not the 743 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 2: risk of oh well, I you know, get a big return, 744 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 2: or will I be losing out on money, but you're 745 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 2: also having that locked in of not losing that anymore. 746 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 1: So that's a little MythBuster I can think of that. 747 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 1: Thank you for addressing that makes so much sense, sir. 748 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 1: I guess I probably should have asked about debts fuzz, 749 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: but thank you for making that Klea and I completely agree. 750 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 2: So the next thing, this is also kind of like 751 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 2: a MythBuster about investments, But the next thing that I 752 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:52,879 Speaker 2: want to talk about is using yourself as an investment. 753 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 2: So often we think of investments as only again the 754 00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:01,800 Speaker 2: stock market or our retirement, which are very important things 755 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 2: and absolutely necessary. However, then we're nervous to invest in ourselves, 756 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 2: in hiring a mentor, or hiring a like business coach, 757 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,319 Speaker 2: or hiring someone. And you have to remember that you 758 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 2: are like your best investment like you are your best investment. 759 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,440 Speaker 2: So that's another like myth that I want that I 760 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,720 Speaker 2: want to bust is that you should forget about investing 761 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 2: in yourself right now and only worry about investing in 762 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,280 Speaker 2: like the stock market or something. So that's definitely something 763 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 2: I want wanted to address. But then also the other 764 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 2: thing I wanted to talk about is to when it 765 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 2: comes to investing, to think about different types of investments. 766 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 2: So it's definitely important to think about a four to 767 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:51,520 Speaker 2: oh one, kay, thinking about other for other forms of 768 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 2: retirement depending on where you live and what your career is. 769 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 2: But it's also great to think about real estate or 770 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 2: thinking about to other investing in other companies or just investing. 771 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:08,400 Speaker 2: But the biggest thing when it comes to investing is 772 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:12,920 Speaker 2: finding a financial advisor who is your partner. I cannot 773 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,840 Speaker 2: stress that enough. Whether it is a financial advisor or 774 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 2: an accountant or any other partner that you're having with 775 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 2: your finances. You want to hire someone who's your team 776 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,360 Speaker 2: member and not someone who says, okay, just give me 777 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,879 Speaker 2: your card info and then like I'll do it from here. 778 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 2: Really hire someone that will explain it to you and 779 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 2: be your partner and your finances, because that is someone 780 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 2: who's going to partner with you to win long term. 781 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 1: Amazing, And before we finish up the episode, I did 782 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 1: have a lot of questions in regards to debt. 783 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 2: So, what are some. 784 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 1: First steps that someone can take if they're currently you know, 785 00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,480 Speaker 1: they're in a lot of debt, or they're struggling to 786 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 1: even save because they do have to pay off debt. 787 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 1: Do you have any tips for that person? 788 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:10,280 Speaker 2: Yes? Absolutely so. Tip number one is to know your debt. 789 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,839 Speaker 2: So a lot of times we get really nervous and 790 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,240 Speaker 2: scared to look at where we're at. But my best 791 00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:21,640 Speaker 2: example of this is that if I called Georgie and said, hey, 792 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 2: I need you to buy me a ticket to Australia, 793 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,400 Speaker 2: your first question would be okay, cool, where are you 794 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:29,400 Speaker 2: flying from? 795 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 1: Like? 796 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,920 Speaker 2: Where are you starting for? I know where you're ending, 797 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 2: I know what your goal is. Let's say your goal 798 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:36,839 Speaker 2: is to be debt free. I have to know where 799 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,359 Speaker 2: to buy that plane ticket to depart from. And so 800 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 2: basically what I'm saying is you have to know where 801 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 2: you're at in order to set a goal of where 802 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 2: you're headed. And that sometimes can be hard because you 803 00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,240 Speaker 2: don't want to face that and maybe you've been putting 804 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,719 Speaker 2: it out for a while, but it's really important to 805 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,839 Speaker 2: know that, and not just know that in a way 806 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:04,520 Speaker 2: of yeah, I have about ten thousand, but to know 807 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,320 Speaker 2: the exact amount of what you have and the interest 808 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 2: rate at which it's at, because once you know that, 809 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 2: that's when you can start coming up with a plan 810 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 2: to tackle it. So, once you know what your debt is, 811 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,279 Speaker 2: list it all out. If you have multiple debts, list 812 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,120 Speaker 2: it all out. And if you have a bigger debt 813 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,920 Speaker 2: like student loans, that's broken up into smaller ones, but 814 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 2: you just think of it as a big number, list 815 00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:34,200 Speaker 2: out all those smaller ones. Once you have it in 816 00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 2: a list, then I want you to choose which one 817 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,880 Speaker 2: is accruing the most interest the quickest. So the like 818 00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,560 Speaker 2: kind of an easy cardinal rule is if you have 819 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 2: credit cards, if you have a credit card debt, pay 820 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 2: those off first for the most part, unless they're at 821 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 2: like a zero person at APR, I would still tackle 822 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 2: credit cards first. And here's the thing. Millennials often make 823 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:03,240 Speaker 2: the mistake of spreading out their income to tackle debt, 824 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,600 Speaker 2: so they'll pay some towards credit cards, some towards student loans, 825 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,839 Speaker 2: some towards the car loan. And what I want you 826 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,239 Speaker 2: to do is to still pay your minimum payments on everything, 827 00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:18,440 Speaker 2: but use any extra income to tackle your highest priority. 828 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 2: Get that done first, and then move on to the 829 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:25,440 Speaker 2: next one, because not only logistically will that save you money, 830 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,440 Speaker 2: but also it'll keep your momentum up and keep you 831 00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,879 Speaker 2: excited and ready to go on to the next thing. 832 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, thank you so much for sharing that. 833 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,839 Speaker 1: That makes so much sense sense and I've actually never 834 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 1: heard anyone say that about just focus on the one 835 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:46,080 Speaker 1: rather than trying to spread yourself out, so amazing points. 836 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Koe. Before you leave, can you 837 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,759 Speaker 1: give the audience all the good things of where to 838 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,960 Speaker 1: find you. I know we already talked about your Wealth 839 00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:01,760 Speaker 1: Accelerator signature program which is starting soon, so I'll I'll 840 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,320 Speaker 1: make sure I put that link in the show notes. 841 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,400 Speaker 1: And guys, if you're interested in that, if you're serious 842 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 1: about like financial freedom and getting your finances sorted, get 843 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 1: onto that. Have a look at that program, and then 844 00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,879 Speaker 1: also make sure you use the code rise which will 845 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,720 Speaker 1: give you one hundred dollars off.

My 850 00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,359 Speaker 2: Instagram is Deeper than Money, so it's deeper period than 851 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,160 Speaker 2: period money, and I talk all things and money over there. 852 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:45,280 Speaker 2: I also just release my podcast called Deeper than Money, 853 00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,719 Speaker 2: so that's on all platforms of podcasts. And then I 854 00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 2: also have a free Facebook group that I do trainings 855 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,160 Speaker 2: in and you can search Deeper than Money on Facebook, 856 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,359 Speaker 2: so basically search Deeper than Money anywhere and I'll be there. 857 00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,399 Speaker 2: I'll just pop up at your door, like. 858 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,560 Speaker 1: I'll show up.
