So I live in a really remote island in 51 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 5: the north of Australia, which is about as north as 52 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 5: you can get. Actually, it is a beautiful lifestyle, you know. 53 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 5: It's a very slow lifestyle, and I've managed to fall 54 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 5: into a career up here that I never thought i'd 55 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,839 Speaker 5: fall into. But it's going very well and I'm really 56 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 5: enjoying it and feeling very blessed to have this job. 57 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 5: So yeah, island life is absolutely incredible, but it doesn't 58 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 5: come without its difficulties. You know. Cost of living up 59 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 5: here is definitely felt a little bit more just because 60 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 5: we're so remote and things are shipped in from very 61 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 5: far away. 62 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 2: How did you grow up around money. 63 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 5: I was raised in a single parent family, so there 64 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 5: was definitely never a lot of money while I was 65 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 5: growing up. But in saying that, my mum is incredible. 66 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 5: She's always managed to provide everything that myself and my 67 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 5: brother needed, so I definitely learned a lot of my 68 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 5: money habits from her. She was a great saver and 69 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 5: instilled those beliefs around money and me and my brother. 70 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 5: So after school, I went to university and I lived 71 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 5: the university life, which is never a very wealthy life. 72 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 5: I was living out a home in Melbourne and working 73 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 5: to support myself through that, and after graduating UNI, I 74 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 5: kind of thought, well, an office job isn't for me, 75 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 5: So I led Melbourne and I came to Queensland and 76 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 5: I've been working on boats ever since. 77 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: On boats. That's interesting. I love this. 78 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 4: So tell me a bit more about the decision to go. 79 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 4: You know, I don't want to live an office job. 80 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 4: I want something else going you. 81 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 2: Know, what is for me a boat? 82 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 4: Like how did you go from you know, making that decision, 83 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 4: from being in UNI, which is relatively structured, let's be honest, 84 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 4: to having obviously a much quieter life, but also working 85 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 4: in that space. 86 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 5: Yeah. So I was actually working hospitality when I was 87 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 5: in university, and when it came towards my graduation, I 88 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 5: was like, you know, I didn't see myself growing straight 89 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 5: to an office role. So I was thought, well, I'm 90 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 5: going to go work in a hospitality venue somewhere a 91 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 5: bit more tropical. So I actually applied for a job 92 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 5: on Hamilton Island and I was unsuccessful getting that job, 93 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 5: and I was like, well, actually, maybe hospitality isn't for me. 94 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 5: So I started applying for some sail boat jobs in 95 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 5: the with Sundays. They hired me. So I started off 96 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 5: as a hostess on one of the tourism boats up there. 97 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 2: Oh very cool. 98 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 5: Yeah, there was about five years ago now and so 99 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 5: it's just progressed from that. 100 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 4: So tell me a bit more. I need to know 101 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 4: what do you do for work? How much money do 102 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 4: you actually earn? 103 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 5: So I work in marine pilotice. Oh yeah, bit of 104 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 5: an unusual job. I at the moment am earning just 105 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 5: over one hundred k year. 106 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 107 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 5: We drive boats and we go out to the middle 108 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 5: of a shipping channel where we run into the side 109 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 5: of a big ship that's still moving. 110 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 2: We run into the side of a big ship moving, Yeah, exactly. 111 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 5: We kind of just smash into the side. If there's 112 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 5: a bit of a bang, it's all right. And then 113 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 5: we put a very experienced mariner onto that ship so 114 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,559 Speaker 5: he can navigate it through the reef. 115 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 2: I've heard of this. 116 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 4: They're good pilots, but they've never been through that territory 117 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 4: and you need someone who's like really familiar with it 118 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 4: to like just get on for a short period of 119 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 4: time navigate through that and then they get off right. 120 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that is cool. So how did you fall 121 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 2: into that. 122 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 4: I mean, it's a bit of a jump to go 123 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 4: from a hostess on a boat to being in marine pilotage. Like, 124 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 4: what's the segue there, my friend. 125 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,119 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was quite random how it happened. I moved 126 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 5: to the island where I'm living now, and I met 127 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 5: up with a friend that I'd known previously from the 128 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 5: marine industry, and she was working for this company already, 129 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 5: and so she got me a job. And I started 130 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 5: out as a casual decand that was almost two years 131 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 5: ago now, and now I'm the assistant manager two years later. 132 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 2: No, you're not, I am. That is so cool. Congrats. 133 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 2: Tell me a bit more about island life though. 134 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 4: I want to segue back to this because living remote 135 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 4: full stop is expensive, but then I feel like it 136 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 4: might be super expensive living remote, but then also on 137 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 4: an island. 138 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: So can you tell me a. 139 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 4: Bit about I guess your living situation. How do you 140 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 4: rent and pay for housing or do you pay for housing? 141 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 4: And you know what's food like because I'm assuming you 142 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 4: can't get any roots. 143 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 5: There's definitely no overeats. So that does help with my savings. Yeah, 144 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 5: so living on an island, it is very expensive. I 145 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 5: do want to say that you know, in my situation 146 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 5: with my work, I am very privileged because I do 147 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 5: have some things provided with my job. Food is probably 148 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 5: the biggest expense that I see. To be fair, I'm 149 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 5: probably a little bit of out of touch with mainland prices. 150 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 5: I mean, I understand that prices have gone up all 151 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 5: over Australia, but yeah, you know, living up here, for instance, 152 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 5: we're paying two dollars eighty five for a liter of fuel. 153 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 5: I went to a supermarket the other day and I 154 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 5: paid three dollars fifty for a tin of chopped tomatoes. 155 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 2: No, you didn't. 156 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 5: It's quite ridiculous. 157 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 2: That's like ninety nine cents. It colds for me. 158 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 5: Sorry, it's ridiculous. But everything that comes to the island 159 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 5: is brought up on a barge, so that just adds 160 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 5: a huge freight cost to all the products that are 161 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:32,679 Speaker 5: brought to the island. 162 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:33,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, it would. 163 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 5: And also sometimes those products are just not available. Quality offecially, 164 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 5: fruit and vegetables can be quite low sometimes. I think 165 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 5: I paid ten dollars the other day for a very 166 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 5: average bunch of silver beat. 167 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 2: Of silver beat. 168 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not even like an expensive, exciting vegetable. 169 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 2: That's silver beat. 170 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 5: I know, but you still have to get your greens. 171 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 4: Oh I'm not disagreeing, Like, I actually really love a 172 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 4: bit of silver beat. I grew up on a farm, 173 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 4: and I feel like that stuff grows like wee there, 174 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 4: but paying ten bucks for it would give me the inck. 175 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 5: Yeah. Probably my largest expense is my grocery bill. Yeah 176 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 5: at the moment, Like I said, I am very lucky 177 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 5: in my job that things are provided for me. For instance, 178 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 5: I have a work car, so I don't have to 179 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 5: pay for my own car or fuel. Oh very nice, 180 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 5: And I understand that everybody on the island is not 181 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 5: privileged to that like we are. 182 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. 183 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 5: My rent is also subsidized by work, so I think 184 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 5: work subsidizes it by about three hundred dollars a week 185 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 5: and I still end up paying one seventy a week. 186 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,359 Speaker 4: Okay, that's pretty good because that would be expensive rent otherwise. 187 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really lucky to live on the island without 188 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 5: rent supplied by your work. It would be almost impossible 189 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 5: just because there is no accommodation available. 190 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. 191 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: Wow. 192 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 5: Work also covers most of my bills, so they pay 193 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 5: for my gas and my water and my internet and 194 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 5: the only bill I have to pay for myself is 195 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 5: my electricity. 196 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 4: This is becoming very appealing. Like I wasn't so sold 197 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 4: on remote work, but now you're. 198 00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: Like, all of this stuff is covered. 199 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 4: Also, I'm earning just over one hundred thousand dollars per year. 200 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 4: Does that put you in a very attractive savings position? 201 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 5: It does. I had never earned money like this before 202 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 5: falling into this role. So I have hit some pretty 203 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 5: incredible saving goals this year. 204 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about them. What are your big money goals? 205 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 5: Ah, My biggest money goal this year is to buy property. 206 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 5: So I'm just going through the process at the moment 207 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 5: of preapproval. 208 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so. 209 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 5: Looking to purchase an investment property, hopefully in the next 210 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 5: month or two. 211 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 2: Oh that's so exciting. That so soon? 212 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 4: And so have you got your deposit together in all 213 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 4: of the balls in the right places. 214 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 5: Yes, I have my deposit ready. I have gone through 215 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 5: this process once before. But also living on the island, 216 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 5: it makes it very difficult to view properties. Of course, 217 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 5: it has slowed me down a little bit in my 218 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 5: search for properties, but I think I've reached the point 219 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 5: where I may just have to purchase without viewing the 220 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 5: property first. 221 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, right, are you purchasing remotely or are you purchasing 222 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 4: back like we're your mummy, or like what's the plan 223 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 4: with location for this property purchase? 224 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 5: At the moment, I'm looking at Cans in Far North Queensland. 225 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: And is that because you want to live there at 226 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 2: some point or is this a good investment opportunity or 227 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: what does that look like for me? 228 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 5: I think it is a place where you can buy 229 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 5: a good investment opportunity. Also, if things were to fall 230 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 5: through with renting it out and I did have to 231 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 5: move there, I would have access to employment. Yeah, and 232 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 5: I have lived there previously, so it's a place that's 233 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 5: just familiar to me. 234 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. 235 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 4: Great, Cans is gorgeous as well, so like I would 236 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 4: not be mad if I had to go and live there, Like, 237 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 4: oh no, I have to live in Far North Queensland. 238 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 2: How bad is that? 239 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 5: I know it's tropical paradise there minus the crocodiles. 240 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 4: It is so beautiful all right, So property purchase, what 241 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 4: are your other big money goals? 242 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 5: I don't have too many what I would call short 243 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 5: term money goals at the moment. I think once I 244 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 5: take off buying a property, then I'll start to look. 245 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 5: But yeah, for long term. You know, I'm not a 246 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 5: person who particularly wants to work a full time job 247 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 5: for the next thirty years forty years fair, So I 248 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 5: would really like to find myself in a position down 249 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 5: the track where I can work less. 250 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: You know. 251 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 5: If that looks like paying off property so that I 252 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 5: don't owe anything on it as quick as possible, you know, 253 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 5: those are probably my goals down the track. 254 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 2: I love that.

Hot tips. Love the strategy. 350 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 4: Obviously, if we're exposing our money to the share market 351 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 4: for a short period of time, there could be some volatility, 352 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 4: and so that might be another way to protect yourself. 353 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 4: But I'll let you look into that and make. 354 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 2: Your own decision. It's just a little idea, my friend. 355 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 5: That's perfect take out the middleman. 356 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean it's a genius idea though, Like, 357 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 4: have you found that having roundups has meant that there's 358 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 4: just like money there that you're like, wow, I really 359 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 4: didn't feel like that came out, or wow, that hit 360 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 4: five hundred dollars way quicker than I thought it might. 361 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't notice the money going out of my 362 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 5: account at all. I've had it for so long that 363 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 5: it's just been a part of my account and budgeting 364 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 5: all the time. I really enjoy the roundup. 365 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 2: I do too. 366 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 4: It's what I do because I like to think of 367 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 4: myself as a relatively lazy investment. Like I've just like 368 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 4: direct debited everything else, so that happens, and then I've 369 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 4: got my roundups, and sometimes I log in, I'm like, oh, 370 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 4: look at me, that's so nice, Like I did all 371 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 4: this work, but I didn't. That's my favorite. I want 372 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 4: to know next, do you have any debts? If so, 373 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 4: what are they? If not, can I know a little 374 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 4: bit more pervy detail about the debt that you might 375 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 4: take on for this property purchase You're about. 376 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 5: To make sure? Well, the only debt I have is 377 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 5: my hextet. I am feeling quite disheartened at the moment 378 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 5: about how large my hextet is. It's up to about 379 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 5: fifty five thousand dollars. 380 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, fair, I would feel stressed, But at the same 381 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 4: time it makes sense. 382 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 5: I think going through university and even high school, hextet 383 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 5: was always kind of sold to me as an interest 384 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 5: free loan, which in the last year particularly, is certainly not. 385 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 5: I think my hex stet was raised by about four 386 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 5: thousand dollars last financial year. That is my only debt. 387 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 5: I do also have a credit card, but I pretty 388 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 5: much just use it for points on larger purchases and 389 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 5: then pay it off immediately. With the property that I'm 390 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 5: looking to buy, Cans is still quite reasonably priced, so 391 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 5: I'm looking at apartments in about two hundred thousand dollars range. Yeah, cool, 392 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 5: of which I have quite a large deposit to put 393 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 5: towards whether I use all of my money as a 394 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 5: deposit or not. That has a rental return on it 395 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 5: of about between three hundred and three hundred and fifty 396 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 5: dollars a week. 397 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 2: That's pretty good. 398 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 4: And when you look at that and go all right, well, 399 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 4: you know it's a two hundred thousand dollars apartment, I 400 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 4: can get good rental yield. Would you look at putting 401 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 4: less of a deposit down and potentially putting money into 402 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 4: like an offset account? Is that something that you've spoken 403 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 4: to your broker about. I guess structuring to make sure 404 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 4: it works really well for you. 405 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, that is something that I have spoken to my 406 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 5: broker about, and I will be putting it in an 407 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 5: offset account. 408 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 2: Love, we're all on the same page. I love that. 409 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 2: Tell me, now, what do you think your best money 410 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 2: habit is? 411 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 5: I think I am a really good saver. 412 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 2: I know you're a really good saver. 413 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 5: Yeah, which I will also discuss seeing my worst money habits. 414 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 5: But yeah, I think I'm a really good saver. I 415 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 5: was thinking about this. I also purchase a lot of 416 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 5: my clothes, furniture, you know, most things secondhand. My main 417 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 5: priority behind doing that is probably because it's the most 418 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 5: sustainable option, but it's also led me to like be 419 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 5: able to save a lot more money by doing that. 420 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 2: How does that work if you're remote? 421 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 4: Like, is it still easy to I guess, get access 422 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 4: to that market? You could say, like, I feel like 423 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 4: you would have less options. 424 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 5: Yeah. So living up here, everything in my house is 425 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 5: actually provided by work, so I don't need to go 426 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 5: out and buy furniture plates, that kind of stuff. When 427 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 5: it comes to clothes, I am a big sucker for Deepop. 428 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: Oh. 429 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: I love Deepop same. 430 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 5: I love to be able to support people as well 431 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 5: and selling the clothes that they no longer use rather 432 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 5: than bigger companies. 433 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 2: It's genius. I love it. 434 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 4: I feel like I checked Deepop before I make any 435 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 4: purchase nowadays as well, because I'm like. 436 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 2: Oh that's cute. Someone might have put it on Deepop 437 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 2: and half the time they. 438 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 5: Have exactly yeah. And that's quite easy. To get things 439 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 5: sent up in the mail. It does take about three 440 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 5: weeks to arrive. There's no instant gratification. 441 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 2: Oh I would suck up there. 442 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 4: I would forget that I'd ordered things and then they'd 443 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 4: turn up and be like oh yeah, yeah. 444 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 5: I do end up at the post office quite a 445 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 5: lot off. 446 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 4: Here, and segueing from that, what do you think your 447 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 4: worst money habit is? 448 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: So? 449 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, As I mentioned, I think I quite a good saver. 450 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 5: I think my attitude towards money has shifted quite a 451 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 5: lot lately, So I think my worst money habits are 452 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 5: based on decisions that I had made previously. I'm feeling 453 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 5: quite annoyed that I haven't prioritized investment earlier on in 454 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 5: my life, whether that investment looked like contributing extra to 455 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 5: my super or buying a property sooner, or also making 456 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 5: voluntary payments on my I feel annoyed because I did 457 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 5: have the ability to do that sooner and I haven't. 458 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 4: But you didn't have the tools and resources and knowledge 459 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 4: that you did. Now, you can't be too harsh on yourself. 460 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 4: I feel like so many times we look back and go, oh, 461 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 4: my god, I would be so good if I X 462 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 4: Y Z. 463 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 2: Well, you know what, I'd be so good if I 464 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: started investing the day I was born. But I didn't, did. 465 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 5: I You're right, it is a terrible game to play, 466 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 5: the hindsight game. I think. Also one of my worst 467 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 5: money habits is I have always been a good saver, 468 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 5: as I mentioned, but typically before I moved up here, 469 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 5: that savings was always put towards travel. Yeah, so I would, 470 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 5: you know, get enough in my bank account to go traveling, 471 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 5: go traveling, deplete it and then come back and start 472 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 5: from scratch. Yeah okay, And so that is what I'm 473 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 5: trying to resist the urge to do these days. I'm 474 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 5: a little bit more grown up now, So if I 475 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 5: can just resist that urge to not quit my job 476 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 5: and go on a trip around the world, that would 477 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 5: be great. 478 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 4: I mean, it sounds pretty cool, Like I think you 479 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 4: could convince me. I think we could all do those things. 480 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 4: But if that's your worst money, have it. Like you're 481 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 4: a very interesting person, Like that is very very cool. 482 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 2: We've talked a lot. 483 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 4: I feel like you are absolutely killing it and also 484 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 4: living your best life at the same time, Like marine 485 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 4: pilotage sounds slay, Like. 486 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: That sounds so cool. 487 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 4: But then also getting to work in an NFP in 488 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 4: the environmental sector like that would nourish you. Like I 489 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 4: am assuming you're not doing it for the money, because 490 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 4: you obviously earn a lot in your bigger role, but 491 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 4: it just sounds like that is so cool, And you 492 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 4: live on an island, and yes, groceries are expensive, but 493 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 4: everything else kind of is subsidized, so maybe it works 494 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 4: out a bit. But now that we've talked, what do 495 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 4: you think it would take to get you from a 496 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 4: B plus to an A or an A plus. 497 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely just needs to prioritize the investing. So if 498 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 5: I can achieve my money goal of buying a property 499 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 5: this year, and once that's accomplished, move on to the 500 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 5: next thing, whether that's property or a different investment, that's 501 00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 5: definitely what I would need to take me to. 502 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 2: That is so cool. 503 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 4: I love that because we know what's going to happen, 504 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 4: Like you are getting into property, and you will be 505 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 4: able to leverage that one into the next one. Even 506 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 4: just knowing that you've got a bigger deposit than you 507 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 4: need for your first property is going to be so constructive. 508 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 4: Like I am obsessed and I can't wait to see 509 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 4: where you go money, Darist. Unfortunately, that is all we 510 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 4: have time for today.
