Where are you shopping? 152 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 4: I think for the best price secondhand is the go 153 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 4: Facebook marketplace deepot because obviously black tie is quite formal. 154 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 2: My favorite. 155 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 4: I don't want to say it's super cheap, but you 156 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 4: can pick things up on sale. Meshki does a love 157 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 4: really great range from more casual through to what I 158 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,239 Speaker 4: think is totally fine for black tie. 159 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 2: Now they have a whole segment on their website called 160 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: black Tie. 161 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 4: They don't even realize that money wim and I think 162 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 4: that they do sales pretty frequently. You can do cash 163 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 4: back and things like that to help bring cross down. 164 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 4: But relative to what you can find yourself spending for 165 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 4: black tie, I think they're quite a reasonable price point 166 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 4: for a lot of their pieces. 167 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 2: Okay, I agree.

She asked them 272 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 2: to lower the annual price due to her having three 273 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 2: separate policies with them, so they did it by fifty dollars, 274 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 2: which put it back to the same price as last year. 275 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 2: They said they were going to resent her the policy. 276 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 2: They didn't resent her the policy, so she followed up 277 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 2: and they took another sixty bucks off for the inconvenience win. 278 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 2: It pays to be inconvenience sometimes. Absolutely. Learning from this 279 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 2: absolutely that's everything for me. This I love that. Miss 280 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: becksay ed, what have you got when it comes to 281 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 2: broke tips? So this week I got a couple of 282 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 2: good ones. The first one comes from Katya. She says 283 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: that if you hit escape really. 284 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 5: Quickly when you're going to like read an article and 285 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 5: a pay wall comes up escape, if you hit escape 286 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 5: really quickly, then you can sometimes avoid the paywall. And 287 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 5: so our gorgeous producer did some research on this and 288 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 5: it is true. Quickly eating the escape key upon a 289 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 5: page loading can sometimes prevent a paywall from appearing by 290 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 5: interrupting the pages loading process, which I. 291 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 2: Know is like it depends on the it depends on. 292 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 5: The side, like I do feel bad, like I don't 293 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 5: want to steal content, but also like why can't I 294 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 5: just read the article? 295 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: You know? 296 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 2: Personal peppe is news behind a paywall. 297 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 4: If you are a creator putting totally out, Oh yeah, 298 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 4: I think you suck. 299 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 2: No, not at all, but like, yeah, the nature of 300 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 2: what it is news should be for public consumption. I agree, 301 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: I agree. I don't know. That's my hot take. I 302 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 2: completely share another one that I may or may not use. 303 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 2: So the second it starts loading, I can't control a 304 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: control C, so like can select everything control C. I've 305 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 2: copied it because then, as you guys probably know, you 306 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 2: can start reading the article and then the pop up 307 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 2: comes up. So if you can get that control a 308 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 2: control C before that happens, I then cut and paste 309 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 2: it into a word document and read it on my 310 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 2: own computer. Oh my god, I haven't tried the escape thing. 311 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 2: I didn't even know what the escape key did, so 312 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 2: I'm going to give that a crack as well. But 313 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 2: that has been my hack for reading paywalled articles that 314 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 2: maybe or I didn't want to pay massive God that 315 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 2: what you will. We're not telling you how to live 316 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 2: your life. We're just kidding. Do you think that's ethical. 317 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 2: That's totally okay. Don't do it completely because we wouldn't. 318 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 2: We're not doing it. We're not going to do it. 319 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 6: Yeah. 320 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 2: I mean when I say I do it, I was 321 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: just making a suggestion that I might be able to 322 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 2: do it. Yes, it's a clever idea that you haven't 323 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 2: tried yet. Yeah, as somebody who writes for a publication, 324 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 2: who often puts my articles behind paywalls, I'd hate for 325 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 2: you to have that information absolutely because you don't write 326 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 2: that for just anyone. Yeah. Well, there you go, and so. 327 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 4: There you go. 328 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 2: Okay. The next one comes from Lisa. 329 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 5: So this was like a thread asking for holiday saving STIPs, 330 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 5: and I thought this was really interesting. 331 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 2: Lisa said that she does a supermarket cleaning collect. 332 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 5: Or delivery order before she leaves, like the health, the 333 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 5: accommodation she's saying it, or like a holiday when she's 334 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 5: going on holiday exactly, so she only has to eat 335 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 5: out once a day. That means that she doesn't have 336 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 5: the option of like deciding not to go shopping when 337 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 5: she gets there, and she doesn't have to waste the 338 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 5: time doing the shopping as well, she can just like 339 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 5: enjoy her holiday so I'm like, trick yourself into like 340 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 5: doing like yeah, like a click and collect or like 341 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 5: a delivery order or something like. 342 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: It's a really great idea. Every time we've ever gotten 343 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 2: you guys already probably know this, but every time I've 344 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 2: gone on holidays with Jess, I'm like, so, where's the 345 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 2: new a supermarket? Not gonna lie. If we're traveling internationally, 346 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 2: I don't want to do click and collect. I want 347 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 2: to Yeah, that's inexperience going through an international market, getting 348 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 2: to see their cereal aisles, like what brands they have 349 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: like for me, that's part of the holiday. I love it. 350 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 2: I love it. I'm always like, oh, do you want 351 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 2: to go into that supermarket? Do you want to go 352 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 2: into that deli? Like, maybe I'm not the person you 353 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 2: want to travel with, but yeah, I always go get 354 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 2: like a cereal and a coffee option for the mornings, 355 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 2: for sure. I don't want to eat out every single meal. No, 356 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 2: I know it is quite experienced. 357 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 5: I always look for the grocery store wherever I am, 358 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 5: even if I'm with in Australia. Something about being and 359 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 5: woolies is so companying. This next one is from Jess Ricky. 360 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 2: Actually, if you don't mind. So we put a whole 361 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: thread in our Facebook group every single week so that 362 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 2: our community can share. And then you just go, yeah, 363 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 2: just give me, give me hot I think I know 364 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 2: what this one is and it is a good one. 365 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 2: Oh it's crazy. She's got tickets on this too. 366 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, it is right right, you know what that's actually 367 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 5: pun and you'll soon figure out why. So to celebrate 368 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 5: the opening of the Metro Tunnel, two months of free 369 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 5: travel will apply every Saturday and Sunday from early December 370 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 5: twenty twenty five to the first of February twenty twenty 371 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 5: six for all public transport within Victoria. Isn't that amazing? 372 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 2: That is actually very cool? And now my ticket comment 373 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 2: does make sense, makes a lot of sense. No ticket required, 374 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 2: you guys, that is a money win. Could we make 375 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 2: it a little bit better? Like, can can you have 376 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 2: your people call my people or something and talk about 377 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 2: extending that for like even a week so that everyone 378 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 2: can save on their my keys for work and then 379 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 2: like really stash some extra cash.

I also reckon that the Victorian Premier should call 386 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 2: the Queensland Premier and they should talk. Yes, because for 387 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 2: those of you not following, Queensland get fifty cent public 388 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: trans yes. Do they rude? Right? Very nice? I know, 389 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 2: I know, well fair enough. I have your people call 390 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 2: their people and their people tell you how to do 391 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 2: your job. 392 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 5: It really makes me upset and I'm not going to 393 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 5: linger on this for too long. But people that are 394 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 5: already struggling to get by and then they're like, oh cool, 395 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 5: I finally found a job. 396 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 2: Oh it's going to cost me fifty dollars a week 397 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 2: to get there and you don't have the cash, and like, 398 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 2: you don't have it, just give us public transport for 399 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 2: free during a week, yeah, because I feel like that 400 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 2: take a lot of pressure off a lot of people. Absolutely, 401 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 2: or just do it for fifty cents. Sorry, why can 402 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 2: Queensland do it exactly? 403 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 5: And actually, you know what we'll pay on the weekends 404 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 5: during the week. No, we try to take my taxes. 405 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 5: And that's my vergue tip for this week. 406 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 2: Do you know what, that's a really good one. I 407 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 2: will allow the fact that you got Jess to do 408 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 2: your job. Thank you Jess anytime. Okay, don't cut this out. 409 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 2: That is naughty. I actually like your opinion. Beck, stop 410 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 2: trying to steal Jess. Yes, Sam, or let's go to 411 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 2: a really quick break because on the flip side, we're 412 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 2: going to be talking about a money dilemma. Wanting to 413 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 2: know more about managed portfolios not managed funds, and something 414 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 2: that you slid into our DMS about what do you 415 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 2: do when your partner is getting a little bit too 416 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 2: obsessed with Black Friday? And it's definitely not from Jess's partner, 417 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 2: So you'll see you on the flip side. Guy. 418 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 4: Welcome back, everybody.

Now, let's take a 427 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 6: listen to this week's money dilemma. 428 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 7: Hi, she's on the money. I have a question regarding 429 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 7: our favorite topic of investing. I currently have two different 430 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 7: apps for investing. I have a Chez's account and Better 431 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 7: Shares account. With the Chas's, I'll just have a few 432 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 7: ETFs and direct shares that I put money into when 433 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 7: I can, and the Beta shares are recently opened up 434 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 7: a high growth managed portfolio and I aim to put 435 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 7: two to three hundred a month into that. My question is, 436 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 7: are these managed portfolios actually worth it? I pay three 437 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 7: dollars a month. I know that changes per platform, per portfolio, 438 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 7: and how much you've gotten it, but I was doing 439 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 7: a bit of overreading, we would say, a bit of 440 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 7: analysis paralysis into these managed portfolios, and people say that 441 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 7: it it is not worth it, and you can just 442 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 7: kind of buy their ETFs or shares yourself. 443 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 6: Yeah. 444 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 7: I just wanted to know what your thoughts are on 445 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 7: these managed profolos and if they're were it. 446 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 2: Thanks? I love this. I think that's a really good 447 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,959 Speaker 2: question because like, these managed portfolios online are incredibly transparent, 448 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,479 Speaker 2: so you can go to and she mentioned Beta shares 449 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 2: and I've just gone to their website, just to make 450 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 2: sure that I've got, you know, a really good handle 451 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 2: of what's going on. And it reminds me a lot 452 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 2: of our friends at Life Sirpa. They do something really 453 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 2: really similar. I feel like they might hold your hand 454 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 2: a little bit more than just a Beta shares like 455 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,239 Speaker 2: managed portfolio. But anyway, we can get back to that. 456 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 2: We can talk about that later. But the cool thing 457 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 2: about this is, yes, you could go in today and 458 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 2: replicate the beta shares platform, like you could log in, 459 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 2: go have a look at their website exactly like I am. 460 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 2: Have a look at their managed portfolios. They are super transparent. 461 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 2: They're like, okay, cool. If you're an aggressive investor, these 462 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 2: are the ETFs we would pick with you. The problem 463 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 2: with you going in and going, well, I don't want 464 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 2: the fees. I don't want to be associated with that. 465 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 2: I wanted, you know, do it myself. That's fantastic. You 466 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 2: could absolutely do that. But the managed portfolio part means 467 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 2: they ongoingly manage the rebalancing the construction of that portfolio. 468 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 2: They are going to choose when an ETF exits your portfolio. 469 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 2: So if they're like, oh, this one's not performing as well, 470 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 2: we're going to drop that out. They're going to pick 471 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 2: up another option and just put it into your portfolio 472 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 2: without you lifting a finger. So today, yes, they are 473 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 2: being very transparent on what they would pick, but that 474 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 2: doesn't mean it wouldn't change and be ongoingly managed. And 475 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 2: the fees are reflective of that. So that's why people 476 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 2: might ask questions like, oh, you could just do yourself. 477 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 2: You totally could. I do it myself. But every single 478 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 2: six months ish, I go back in and I analyze 479 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 2: every single one of my ETFs and I make sure 480 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 2: that they're performing the way I want. You know, I 481 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 2: might sell down some to rebalance it over because I have. 482 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 2: And we've spoken about this before, and this is probably 483 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 2: a good plug to go back and listen to the 484 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,160 Speaker 2: episode that I did with Brooke on her investing portfolio. 485 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 2: We talk about how we have It's basically a pie chart, 486 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 2: and I know that I want fifty percent of my 487 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,719 Speaker 2: portfolio in this particular asset, and then I break up 488 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 2: the rest of my portfolio across different assets. And then 489 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 2: every six months, I get that pie chat out and 490 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 2: I sit it in front of me and look at 491 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 2: my portfolio and go, is this still replicated? Am I 492 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 2: still comfortable with this breakdown, Do I want any changes? 493 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 2: And then, because the market always ebbs and flows, like, yes, 494 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 2: I have for this period of time invested fifty percent 495 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 2: of the amount I invest into that ETF. But let's 496 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 2: pretend it performed really well. Okay, Now my portfolio is 497 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 2: actually more than fifty percent of that ETF because it's 498 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 2: been performing so well, and I have a dividend reinvestment plan, 499 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 2: so I often will make the decision to sell down 500 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 2: some of that stock and redistribute it into the other 501 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 2: parts of my portfolio so I can maintain the percentages 502 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 2: I have chosen. They do that for you, Yeah, so 503 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 2: they're going to have the finger on the pulse and 504 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 2: all you have to do is keep sending money their way. 505 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 2: They are going to charge a fee for that service, 506 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 2: but for most people, that is a fee that is 507 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 2: worthy of paying. And I won't talk about beta shares specifically, 508 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 2: that's just what this community member has written in about. 509 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,719 Speaker 2: But there are lots of different managed portfolio options on 510 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,239 Speaker 2: the market where they say, hey, JS, we'll manage it 511 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 2: for you. Yeah, and like to me, if you don't 512 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 2: want to have as high a touch option as you know, 513 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 2: when I go into my shares is account and I 514 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 2: have to look at my portfolio and go, oh, what's 515 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 2: that looking like? Perfect? Some of us don't want that, 516 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 2: but we want that middle ground between. Well, I'd love 517 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 2: to do it myself because I love the idea of 518 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 2: those fees. I don't want to go see a financial 519 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 2: advisor because I don't want to pay those fees, but 520 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 2: I still want more support than DII. Does that make sense, Yeah, totally. 521 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 4: Yeah. My only thing with the an issue that I 522 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 4: would just flag is that I think the beta shares 523 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 4: one from a cursory look, I'm not super familiar with 524 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 4: it personally, but I think it's just ETFs they manage. 525 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's just what they've constructed their portfolio of. 526 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 2: For some other managed funds, you might find that they 527 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 2: are a managed fund and they hold twelve different direct 528 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 2: shares that they manage, and they would chop and change 529 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 2: out of that, and it would really depend on the 530 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 2: company issuing them. I'm not surprised, and I quite like 531 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 2: Beta shares as a business. They are fantastic. But if 532 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 2: you've not heard of them before, they are one of 533 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 2: the biggest issuers of ETFs in Australia. So they've clearly seen, well, 534 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 2: we construct ETFs all the time, let's put this product 535 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: over the top and have a different team pick from 536 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 2: basically all our ETFs to create a portfolio that ongoingly 537 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 2: is managed for a client. It's good business from them 538 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 2: from my perspective. But then the other thing I would 539 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 2: say there is if you're going to go to a 540 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 2: beta shares, it's like going and seeing a mortgage broker 541 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 2: who works for a bank. So you're only going to 542 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 2: get beta shares ETF options. They're not going to go 543 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 2: pick a vanguard option because that's not in their best interests. 544 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 2: So that's where if you're looking at this and going, oh, 545 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 2: that actually sounds really good, v Like, I love the 546 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 2: managed portfolio idea, but you're going to go direct to 547 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 2: an ETF, I can guarantee all of their managed portfolios 548 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 2: are just made up of different selections of their product. 549 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 2: You're not getting the whole market, whereas a product like 550 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 2: life Sherpa would be able to actually just they might 551 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 2: have a beta shares, they might have a vanguard that 552 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 2: might be looking at a black rock over here, and 553 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 2: they kind of take everything on the market and then 554 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 2: construct your managed portfolio. 555 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, and they're a nice middle ground two in terms 556 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 4: of price point because they don't do like a full 557 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 4: written advice and it doesn't come with the expense that 558 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 4: we know is really prohibitive. 559 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 2: To a lot of people. 560 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 4: Whereas you know the way that they do it. They 561 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 4: do a little bit of robo but they also have 562 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 4: people there that you can pick up the phone and 563 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 4: speak to. So it's a little bit of a step 564 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 4: further than the managed fund with beta shares, where I 565 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 4: think you just buy it, or any managed fund, you 566 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 4: just buy it and you know, let it tick away 567 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 4: in the background. Sometimes you know, people want a person there. 568 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 4: So that makes it a really good I guess next 569 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 4: stepping option across the spectrum. 570 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, and the last thing I want you guys to 571 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 2: take from that is like, oh, the beta shares is 572 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 2: not a good option. It is, but that's why I 573 00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 2: want you to look at all of your options on 574 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 2: the table, but then also have the pros and cons, 575 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 2: Like beta shares do great ETFs, they have really good performance, 576 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 2: they have a really good track record. They may have 577 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 2: top five every year, yeah, but they're always in our 578 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 2: top five. I've met with so many people on their 579 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 2: team before they are so delightful. But it would be 580 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 2: a miss of me to not be really pragmatic about going. Okay, cool, 581 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 2: but it is like going direct to the bank for 582 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 2: a loan and not looking for the rest of the 583 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 2: options that might be on the table that maybe suit 584 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 2: you a little bit better. But you could also go. 585 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 2: But I really like be I'm the same as you. 586 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 2: I really trust them, I'm miss I'm that. So you 587 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 2: just go with the beta shares option. It's not necessarily 588 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 2: going to impact your performance because every ETF issue are 589 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 2: is going to construct them in a way where they're 590 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 2: trying to perform their best too. Yeah, so is it 591 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 2: the worst? No, But I also want you to have 592 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 2: like the black and the white and make the decision 593 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 2: for yourself. I'm not going to be like, yep, fantastic option, 594 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 2: off you go. Yeah, but yeah, you'll never get that 595 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 2: from me. I'm so sorry. No, it's so fair. 596 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 5: That's great advice. I this is in my wheelhouse. But 597 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 5: I trust everything you say. Oh thanks, babe, always haven't 598 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 5: always will. 599 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 2: The next ones for you? Don't you? Would you like 600 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 2: to hear the next one? Absolutely? All right, So we're 601 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 2: going to slide on into our DMS and read out 602 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 2: one of the spiciest ones we got this week, which surprisingly, 603 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 2: my favorite part about this is it's anonymous for you 604 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 2: guys and every single one of our listeners. I know 605 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 2: who you are already looked at your Instagram profile. It's James. 606 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 2: Imagine that's where I go and to ruin our own fun, 607 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 2: Beck was it wasn't James. But that's okay, so hey, 608 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 2: she's on the money. I'm starting to get anxious about 609 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 2: Black Friday. Normally, my partner and I are on exactly 610 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 2: the same page with money. We share finances and we're 611 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 2: not big spenders. We've got other goals that we're currently 612 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 2: working towards. But it's like something flips in him every 613 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 2: single year. Every time something he wants comes up, he says, 614 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 2: I'm going to add it to the Black Friday list, 615 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 2: and then his lips get out of control. I get 616 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,360 Speaker 2: that technically we save money if we shop during Black Friday, 617 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,479 Speaker 2: but to me, the list is not essential things that 618 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 2: we actually need. I don't want to come across as 619 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 2: controlling or like I'm telling him what he can and 620 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 2: can't spend money on. But I also feel like he's 621 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 2: falling right into what the sales are designed to make 622 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 2: us do, which is overspend. How do I get him 623 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 2: to see that? And what would you do for you? 624 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 4: And me? 625 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 2: Well, how the tables have turned? 626 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 3: Who and I love it? 627 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 2: You're like, the guy's the bigger spender. Oh yeah, yeah, 628 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 2: that's a silly little girl thing. Men do it too, Absolutely. 629 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 2: Men spend money and they go, oh, good on you, mate, 630 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: you deserved that, or good investment. I spend a boat frivolous. Yeah, okay, 631 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 2: So what would I do? 632 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 5: I think, first of all, the fact that this person 633 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 5: has enough self control, your partner has enough self control 634 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 5: to be like, I'm going to add this to the 635 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 5: list of things that I want to buy when it's 636 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 5: really heavily reduced. I think that is incredible. It's an 637 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 5: incredible place to start. But I also think, like, in 638 00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 5: the it probably feels like there are things that you 639 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 5: guys don't need, but like maybe because there are so 640 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 5: many things that bring us joy, and the fact that 641 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 5: he's putting these on a like in a list of 642 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 5: things to buy in the future means that it's very likely. 643 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 5: I don't know if this happens, because you see, you 644 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 5: do seem to be worried that it's all all everything 645 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 5: in the list is staying in the list. But I 646 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 5: think if you spend you kind of wait a long time, 647 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 5: like as you say, VD, like leave twenty four hours 648 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 5: between you and your purchase, then you kind of end 649 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 5: up being like, oh, I don't really need that anyway. 650 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 5: So I feel like having a list of things that 651 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 5: are just like luxury items is a good idea to 652 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 5: have anyway, because it's probably they're probably not all going 653 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 5: to make it when it comes to Black Friday time. 654 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 5: But I think like allow each other those little treasures 655 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 5: and honestly thank your lucky goddamn stars that they are 656 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 5: not like me, and just like, oh my god, I 657 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 5: want that. I'm going to buy that right now. I 658 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 5: don't even care to take a line of credit out. 659 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 5: I don't have to get a credit card or after pay. 660 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 2: I do not care. There's nothing that's stopping me from 661 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 2: And then Matt go back up, we're working on that 662 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 2: right now. 663 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 8: No judgment, Yeah, I would just say, but obviously, like 664 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 8: if these things are like if it's kind of gotten 665 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 8: to the point where it's like I don't care if 666 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 8: it financially ruins us, I'm buying these at Black Friday, 667 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 8: no matter what. 668 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 2: That's a different story. But if it's like. 669 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 5: They're not going to financially cripple us, it's just like, hey, 670 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 5: you don't need to be like buying these luxury items. 671 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 2: We don't need them. 672 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 5: Then you know, maybe whittle it down to two or 673 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 5: three things that bring you joy and then just stick 674 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 5: with those per year. But I wouldn't worry too much personally. 675 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 2: I would be interested to know. I want to see 676 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 2: the list. I'm so desperate. I would love to see 677 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 2: the list. 678 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 4: I totally agree our listeners on the money in the 679 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 4: sense when they say that, you know, the marketing sales. 680 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 2: Periods are designed. 681 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 4: You know, they're built with strategies that utilize psychology and 682 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 4: things like that to make us spend as much money 683 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 4: as possible. Like, let's be really upfront, that's the ultimate 684 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 4: goal of all of these companies is to sell as 685 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 4: much product as they can and make as much money 686 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 4: as they. 687 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 2: Can, and they're doing it really well. It do me 688 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 2: really well. 689 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 4: I think that, as we have said on the show 690 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 4: many times, you can utilize these sales to your advantage. 691 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 4: Something that you are going to buy anyway, whether it's 692 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 4: a necessity, whether it is a little treaty treat we 693 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 4: were talking about, like the Ninja products on like. 694 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 2: The Amazon Prime Day sales. 695 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 4: If that's something that you knew was on you know, 696 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 4: Christmas list for the kids or something like that, and 697 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 4: you were going to make the purchase anyway, it does 698 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 4: make sense to buy it on sale. What I would 699 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 4: be interested to know is is your husband keeping this 700 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 4: list throughout the year not spending incidentally throughout the youngs 701 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 4: fun money is banking up and going hard during Black Friday, 702 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 4: because in that instance, I actually think that it may 703 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 4: not be so bad. And the way that you can 704 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 4: crash check this is do you have a budget. If 705 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 4: you have a budget, do you have fun money allocated? 706 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 4: If you do, you maybe spending your fun money every month, 707 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 4: Like this's what I do. I we have a certain 708 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 4: amount that I say I can spend this every month, 709 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 4: and I do. 710 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 2: Every month I spend it. She's really good at it. Actually, 711 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 2: we talk about it in the office like the other 712 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 2: day one of our team members, because we've been on 713 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 2: work trips and like in and out of the office 714 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 2: a lot recently. She's like, be my fun money from 715 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 2: the last few weeks has banked up now I have 716 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 2: extra fun money dream and now I have analysis paralysis 717 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:04,719 Speaker 2: over how I can spend it. 718 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 4: That's what I mean, right, So if he had fun 719 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 4: money throughout the year and he wasn't spending it, yeah, 720 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 4: you know, if you guys don't have a firm budget 721 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 4: system in place, it might be a little bit harder 722 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 4: to track. 723 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 2: But I would just keep that as a consideration because. 724 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 4: I think if one of you is maybe spending within 725 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 4: your means throughout the year and one of you isn't, 726 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 4: it's not the worst thing. If that's all then being 727 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 4: spent during sale time. If that's not the case, then 728 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 4: he has just gone a little bit buck while going whoa, 729 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 4: it's all on sale, which, like I mean, we've all 730 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 4: been there. I think it is just a matter of 731 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 4: maybe sitting him down, running the numbers a little bit. 732 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 2: I feel like that's what I always come back to you. 733 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 2: I just want to know what's on the list, Like 734 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 2: only you're not saying it's essential, but like why is 735 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 2: it on a list ongoingly? It's not like an impulse 736 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 2: purchase from the way that you've written it. It's like 737 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 2: a list that he's been tracking, like it might be 738 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 2: you know, like Jess the Ninja and you really really 739 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 2: want it. It's been your list for ages and you've 740 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 2: been thinking about it and thinking about it, and you're like, no, 741 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 2: I'm happy to spend that couple of hundred dollars and 742 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 2: I want to get the best steal. Is that what 743 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 2: it is? Or is it just like he just sees 744 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 2: it as free money and he's been making this laundry 745 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 2: list of luxury products you guys genuinely do not need 746 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 2: and you don't even know if he's going to use them, 747 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,719 Speaker 2: and he doesn't check the list twice. He's like, I'm 748 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 2: just going to buy the list when it comes up, 749 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 2: Like I want to know the mentality around that. But 750 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 2: same as Jess, Like what's your budget look like? And 751 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 2: what does your fun money allocated look like? And maybe 752 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 2: we're not even questioning the list, Like maybe we're sitting 753 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 2: down and being like, hey, like we're planning on doing 754 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 2: some spending in the future or around Black Friday, Like 755 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 2: what do we actually have budgeted for this? Like what 756 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 2: off the list can we afford to get or not? 757 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 2: As opposed to like breaking down his list in his 758 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 2: middle ground, only carefully curated for a specific purchase and 759 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 2: you know, you might come to the conclusion together. You 760 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 2: know what, you don't need a new TV. You already 761 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 2: have a TV and that one works really well. But 762 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 2: to him it might be a more of a priority 763 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 2: than you thought it was, So I don't think breaking 764 00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 2: down the list first is maybe the wisest decision. Then 765 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 2: you're telling him kind of that his values aren't as 766 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 2: valid as what you think they are. And I wouldn't 767 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 2: want anyone to feel bad about their decisions around money, 768 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 2: especially sorry you're starting a list, you're checking it twice 769 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 2: a find out who's not or not exactly what we 770 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 2: got to exactly. And the other additional layer is maybe 771 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 2: you could open the conversation up about, hey, how do 772 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,879 Speaker 2: we make the most of these sales? Christmas is coming up? 773 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 2: You know, it's my friend's birthday coming up, and I 774 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 2: know that it's like her thirtieth, so I know I'm 775 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 2: going to be buying a present. Should we be talking 776 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 2: about all of those things now, so that the sales 777 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 2: are not just you know, benefiting us and luxury items 778 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 2: that we want to buy, but also putting us in 779 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 2: a better financial position. Because I don't think a lot 780 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 2: of people and I have this year right there, Christmas 781 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 2: lists early enough to then go oh, I've picked up 782 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 2: Becks and Jesses and this and that during a sale, 783 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 2: because the closer you get to Christmas, the less sales 784 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 2: there are going to be. There's going to be a 785 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 2: whole heap of promotion. They're going to say that things 786 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 2: are discounted, but they're never as discounted as they are 787 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 2: during Black Friday or host Black Friday, just because they 788 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 2: know that you're more desperate for it and you're going 789 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 2: to pay for it. Yeah, you're not going to find 790 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,760 Speaker 2: sales on Christmas Eve, baby cakes, that's not going to happen. 791 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 2: They know that you're now desperate buying yeah, and that 792 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 2: wasn't maybe a planned purchase, and they're going to make hey, 793 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 2: well the sun is shining basically. So we obviously also 794 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 2: asked the community because sorry, my favorite thing is your opinion. 795 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,879 Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more. Oh I love reading through this and 796 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 2: being like, oh, that's spicy. So we first said what 797 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 2: would you do if you were our community member? This 798 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,240 Speaker 2: was pretty split. Forty five percent of you said separate spending, 799 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 2: budget limits and the other forty five percent said compromised 800 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 2: with a shared agreed list seven percent of you said 801 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 2: leave him to spend however he wants, and two percent 802 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 2: said I'd push to skip Black Friday altogether. Okay, fine. 803 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 2: Next question I asked was what are your Black Friday vibes? 804 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 2: Thirty eight percent of you very she's on the money, 805 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 2: said I'm going to use it for Christmas gifts only gorgeous. 806 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 2: Thirty five percent of you said managed to stick to 807 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,879 Speaker 2: my list and my budget. Seventeen percent of you said 808 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 2: I'm actually unsubscribing from everything Black Friday, and then ten 809 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,360 Speaker 2: percent of you said get carried away and I am overspending. Yeah. 810 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 2: We then said, all right, what's your two cents on 811 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 2: this question? First person said, I put money away each 812 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 2: month for Black Friday sales. I do have a list 813 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,359 Speaker 2: of essentials for myself, and I also have a plan 814 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 2: for my Christmas shop. Brilliant. Next person said, spending on 815 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 2: something you don't need because it's on sale is not saving. 816 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 2: It is still spending. I love that quote. That's one 817 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 2: of my favorite quotes because it you're true. I feel 818 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 2: like we say it in the office all the time 819 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 2: and people are like, oh my god, it was like 820 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 2: forty percent off, and we're like, was it or did 821 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 2: you play sixty percent true. Oh, if you were in 822 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 2: the office more often, Beck, I think you would be 823 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 2: horrified at the conversations we have.
