She's on the Money. 2 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome to She's on the Money, the podcast 3 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 2: for millennials who want financial freedom. Today we are having 4 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: a chat with. 5 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: Hey everyone, my name is Dara Hayes. You may know 6 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: me as DJ Tiger Lily. I'm a DJ, a producer 7 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: and an influencer from Sydney, Australia and this is my 8 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: money Diary. 9 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 2: And let me tell you for those of you who 10 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 2: don't know Zara, she is an absolute legend and a 11 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 2: boss in her own right. 12 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: People still think I can't DJ or write music because 13 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: I'm a hot chick, and I'm like, come to one 14 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: of my shows and stand next to me and watch 15 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: me play because I'm a great DJ. It's quite frustrating 16 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: because it means that, like I don't know, there's something 17 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: about society. You can't be a good looking, confident woman 18 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: and like be intelligent or have an opinion or be 19 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: really really really good at your craft. Like it's very frustrating. 20 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 2: And as always on our Money Diaries, Ryan John, you 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 2: are also here in the background, so let's get into 22 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 2: the chat because to be honest, this was one of 23 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 2: my favorite chats I've ever had about money with someone 24 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 2: of influence. Let's jump straight into the structured questions. Yes, 25 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 2: and you don't get any special treatment here. You get 26 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: all of the same questions all our money diarists do. 27 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 2: And the first question is can you please describe your 28 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,639 Speaker 2: relationship with money? 29 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: I love this question so much, It's so interesting. I 30 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: have a really healthy relationship with money and have for 31 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: the last ten years. I think it's been quite a 32 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: work in progress. Though. My parents are definitely super middle class. 33 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: They both have good jobs, but you know, nothing crazy, 34 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: and they've always really implemented for me and my sisters 35 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: to save and to not be frivolous with our money. 36 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: So coming into adulthood, I was always a little bit 37 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: nervous to spend money and always had a little bit 38 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: of guilt around spending money on nice things. And I've 39 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: definitely tried to work through that in the last couple 40 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: or like the last ten years, and I feel like 41 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: I've got to a really good point now where I 42 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: feel comfortable with saving money but also confident with spending money, 43 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: which is a really nice place to be at. And 44 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: you know, just knowing what makes me feel good and 45 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: what is also smart to spend my money on and 46 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: kind of combining the two of them. But it's definitely 47 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 1: been a work in progress and it's crazy to see 48 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: how many even just small things or comments or you know, 49 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: situations from childhood can affect your money story massively. And 50 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 1: it's also been interesting being with my partner for the 51 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,119 Speaker 1: last five years and combining our money stories together and 52 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: working as a team. Coming from you know, totally different 53 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: than it's been fun and exciting to like, you know, 54 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: be able to relate to other people and that's definitely 55 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: helped me a lot, I think with my relationship with 56 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: money as well. I love that. 57 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: So to ask a silly question, what do you do 58 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: for work in life, I'm DJ. 59 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: That's my mool That was my main form of income 60 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: until about twelve months ago, so the bulk of my 61 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: income was from live performances. And then twelve months ago 62 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 1: that obviously like stopped completely, which was, oh my god, 63 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: so nerve wracking. I had probably like six months worth 64 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: of shows lined up. Oh my gosh, they we're all canceled, yeah, postponed. 65 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 3: How long you're thinking, Oh, I might have to make 66 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 3: some changes to full stop. It's over like. 67 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: Twenty four hours, just like that. 68 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: Six months of income, plans, even schedule, maybe even more. 69 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, like I had like New Year's E've booked in 70 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: and stuff like that.

And 72 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: I actually flew down to Melbourne to play the Grand 73 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: Prix and I'd brought a massive crew with me.

There are some decisions 258 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: which I definitely do feel confident about making, but that's 259 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 1: definitely come with practice and over time. But shout out 260 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: to my dad. He is actually the biggest legend and 261 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: he helps me so much financially. He's like an accountant 262 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: by trade, but now it does kind of other My. 263 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 2: Dad's an accountant too. They are good eggs. 264 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're so good, and he is really my I 265 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: suppose word of reason. I recently bought a new car 266 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: and I was flogging my old car for like almost 267 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: ten years and really needed a new one, but was 268 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: putting it off because I am, deep down like a 269 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: bit of a stinge. 270 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 2: I love that, like I have no real need to 271 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 2: be a stinge. But when a stinge, always a stinch. 272 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. And it was getting to the point 273 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: of it being quite ridiculous. The car really needed help, 274 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: and the help was going to be expensive, so I 275 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: just thought it's time to get something a bit newer 276 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 1: and a bit more modern. And I found this secondhand 277 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: car that I thought awesome, great, this ticks all the boxes. 278 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: But I still was nervous to commit. So talked to 279 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: my dad and he's so good because he just runs 280 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: kind of through the numbers with me. We like punched 281 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: them out together and look at, you know, my budget 282 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: and the timeline and how long it's going to take 283 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: to pay off X y Z. And it's kind of 284 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: nice to have someone there who can like just kind 285 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: of assure me with big purchase items or like big 286 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: kind of decisions that I'm doing something that isn't totally 287 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: crazy and unnecessary. So did you buy your car secondhand? 288 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 2: Not brand new? 289 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: Yeah? Who are a queen? As you said on your episode, 290 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: and never buy a new car exactly. 291 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 2: I feel like it's logical, and I think that a 292 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 2: lot of people are like, oh, but if I had 293 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 2: the money, I'd buy brand news. Like no, no, no, no, 294 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 2: even people with money should not be buying brand new. 295 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: It's silly. Can I tell you about my car? Because 296 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: I want to know. 297 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 3: I want to know is the one before the new one? 298 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: All right? Tell me about the new one? So I 299 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: bought it from Pickles in Brisbane. So the auction mash, 300 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: the auction thing. Yep. So I took a bit of 301 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: a risk because it's Pickles. But I bought a car 302 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: that was two years old, had really low mileage, like 303 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: eight thousand k's on it, so. 304 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: It had already hit the depreciation. You didn't have to 305 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 2: carry that one. 306 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: Yep, yep, yep. And what I didn't realize this was 307 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: like an unknown win to me at the time. The 308 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: Brisbane car market is totally different to the Sydney car mark. 309 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 3: Every city is different. 310 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, I shipped the car down for five hundred bucks, 311 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: but I reckon I saved almost twenty grand who compared 312 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: to the car market. 313 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 3: Apparently Perth is the cheapest and I have to live 314 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 3: in Perth. And a friend flew over, stayed with me 315 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 3: for the weekend, picked up his new car and drove 316 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 3: it back to Melbourne. He's like, oh, it's going to 317 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 3: save me ten grand. 318 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, Well, the guy at Pickles in 319 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: Sydney was saying what they would have been able to 320 00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: sell it for was, yeah, fifteen grand maybe plus what 321 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: the guys in Brisbane were selling it for. And you know, 322 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: I still got like a mechanic to go in and 323 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: give it like a little once over. Obviously they can't 324 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: fully hoist it up at Pickles and do all the 325 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: in depth stuff, so you are running a little bit 326 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: of a risk in that respect. But yeah, I am 327 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: like a massive Pickles fan through and through to the 328 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: point where I then sold them my old car because 329 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: they made it so simple. 330 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 3: Wow. 331 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: Love Pickles. Yeah, shout out, shout out. That's your money 332 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: to be sweet. Yeah, that is my money win for sure. 333 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: I love that. 334 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 2: But I do want to pivot away from cars for 335 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 2: a second and ask you when you first started being 336 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 2: a DJ, what were you charging? How did that work? 337 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: Nothing? Nothing? 338 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 2: You just did it for free, free drink cards. 339 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 3: Baby, that'd be the same as most money win creative endeavors. 340 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so, right, I felt like everybody starts 341 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 2: for But it's interesting to know that story, right because 342 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 2: obviously you're now at a point where you are in 343 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 2: demand and you are actually a professional at this and 344 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 2: so you're being paid for it. But I think it's 345 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 2: interesting to understand the journey of like, how did you 346 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 2: go from being free drink cards, which I mean at 347 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 2: the time when you were probably starting. You're like, this 348 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 2: is so epic, I get free drinks to want to 349 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 2: charge for events, Like, how did you make that leap? 350 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 2: Because I know in our community there are a lot 351 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 2: of creatives and musicians and people that probably are doing 352 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 2: free work at the moment. How do you know when 353 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 2: is the time? But also how do you have that 354 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 2: conversation because you don't have an agent? Then no, absolutely no, 355 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 2: I didn't have an agent. I think for the first 356 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 2: four years I was doing everything myself, from my bookings 357 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 2: to my invoicing, to my tax to my like performance 358 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 2: stuff everything, which is kind of overwhelming to think. 359 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: About that now. So it's a really good question and 360 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: there's no right answer, and it's kind of tricky to know. 361 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: I think I was probably playing for free or for 362 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: very low amounts, like twenty five dollars an hour. But 363 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: when you think about like that sounds like a standard, 364 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: but from a performance perspective, it's kind of different because 365 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: if you've got a one hour set once a week, 366 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: you're making twenty five dollars y yeah, and week. 367 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 3: Thought about the music eler in the day, and you've 368 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 3: got to. 369 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: Get a preparation travel all that stuff. Yeah, So I 370 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: think you know, that stayed like that for a couple 371 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 1: of months, and I just took a bit of a 372 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: leap in the deep end, and I remember like upping 373 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: my invoice rate to like eighty five dollars an hour 374 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: and thinking, oh God, what's going to happen here. 375 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 3: I've ended my own career, I've overcharged. 376 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: But people were actually totally fine with it. I remember 377 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: having lots of different conversations with other DJs in the 378 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: industry at the time, being like, what should I be charging? 379 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: How much do you guys charge? So I think like 380 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: asking people if you're in a creative industry that are 381 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: around you and maybe at a similar ish level, that's 382 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: also really helpful to get kind of some idea of 383 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 1: what venues are willing to pay at the moment. In 384 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: regards to the COVID stuff, it's like totally different to normal, 385 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: even for me now being like a professional. I suppose 386 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 1: everyone has different amounts of money to spend. So I 387 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: think that's something really important to keep in mind if 388 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: you are a creative at the moment, you know, trying 389 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: to speak to whether it's clubs or gallery or whatever, 390 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: about how much you're going to charge, But yeah, I 391 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: would say, I spoke a lot to people around me 392 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: and then yeah, did definitely take some random leaps and 393 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: hope that they worked. And look, no one ever said 394 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: no in those early days, but I wasn't asking for 395 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: a really stupid amounts. 396 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 3: Is the Djay world like collaborative in that people like, oh, 397 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 3: these guys looking for people like you all helping each 398 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 3: other out? Or is a bit competitive or a bit 399 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 3: of both. It depends on the person. What's the sort of. 400 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: Bit of both? Definitely depends on the person. And I 401 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: would suggest if people are being dickheads and like, you know, 402 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: really competitive, steer away from them because there are really 403 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: nice people out there who will help. And I often 404 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: get sent loads of random gigs on like Instagram or emails, 405 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: and I pass them on to my agent and say, oh, 406 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,959 Speaker 1: this chick would be great for it, or this guy 407 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 1: would be great for it, because I know it's not 408 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: going to be suitable suitable for I say, as. 409 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 3: The lowest earning person of my management talent agency, the 410 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 3: leftovers I get from the bigger people is just fantastic, 411 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,479 Speaker 3: Thank you. They definitely won't be doing that, but Ryan's 412 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 3: probably free like on that day, so he's ready to go, 413 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 3: so get involved. But it's interesting though, because with when 414 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 3: you are, you know, a freelancer, and it's a competitive marketplace. 415 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 3: Some people are really helpful and like you said, I 416 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 3: don't know, the word leftover sounds really bad, but. 417 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 2: That's what it is. But you've got someone's crumbs. 418 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,479 Speaker 3: Yeah. But I actually saw this post the other day. 419 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 3: I think someone shared it in the Shehes in the 420 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 3: Money group. But it was like, surround yourself with women 421 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 3: who would bring your name up when an opportunity arises. 422 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: I like that. 423 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, So is that the kind of people that someone says, hey, Ryan, 424 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 3: do you can you detail thing? 425 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 2: No? 426 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 3: I can't, but you know I know someone who can 427 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 3: versus someone goes no, and it doesn't help me. So 428 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 3: then I'm not interested anymore. 429 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 1: I really don't mentality yet. 430 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 2: No, And I just feel like you are lifted by 431 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 2: lifting other people.

No, no, I want to hear it from the master. 434 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 3: A rising tide lifts all boats. 435 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: It does warms my heart, Yeah. 436 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 2: It does, Like you know, you don't actually dull your 437 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 2: by shedding it on other people and other people's lights. 438 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 2: It's just so much more powerful together. And you know, 439 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 2: we get this a lot in finance where people are like, oh, 440 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 2: why did you let another financial advisor on your podcast? 441 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 2: All this, and I'm like, it just makes the world 442 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 2: a better place. Like I'm not here to talk about 443 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: you know, just me, Like it's better when it's together. 444 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, And if you want to email us at DJ 445 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 3: at Tiger Lily's Leftovers that she's on the money dot 446 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 3: com dot au, we can put you up just about 447 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 3: your career. 448 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 2: I'm not a DJ, but you know what I can do, 449 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: get one of your sets on YouTube and play it 450 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 2: for them. 451 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: Hell's yeah, I can do that. 452 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 3: I could he some drinks accounts a part of the right. 453 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: Come, it's off the airways, right and drop.

So yeah, 461 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: it's interesting and I do remember like so many you know, 462 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: funny stories where DJs are like elbowing each other out 463 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: of the way to get to get gigs. Pretty much, 464 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: and I think it definitely pays off just being super 465 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: friendly and honest and you know, a genuine nice person, 466 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: and like you miss out on gigs, Like to this day, 467 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: I still miss out on gigs because like we're not 468 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: pushy enough or we're not charging low enough rates. But 469 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: I think there is also merit in keeping your ground 470 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: as a creative with how much you're willing to charge 471 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: and how much value you think that you bring to 472 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: the table. So to all my creatives out there, value yourselves. 473 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: You guys are important. 474 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 3: So we talk a lot about this, and especially she's 475 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 3: on the money as a business and other things that 476 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 3: Victoria and I do a lot of creatives. Now, it's 477 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 3: not necessarily I have this one thing that I do 478 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 3: that I make money. It's like having these multiple little 479 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 3: trickles and stuff. So don't go into detail. But with 480 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 3: doing Instagram stuff you mentioned before, you do so the 481 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 3: influencer work and DJs. Like, how many different ways are 482 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 3: there that you make money? 483 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: Yes, lots, which is great, And this is something that 484 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: I really wanted to talk about because it's what I 485 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: really wanted to is diversifying your income streams for maximum safety. 486 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: And like this last twelve months has been. So it's 487 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: like it has just shown me that through and through 488 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: because I literally would make I reckon seventy percent of 489 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: my income from like music and performing and stuff, and 490 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: it literally went down to zero and I had to think, Okay, 491 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: what else, Oh, like what am I going to do 492 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: to kind of compensate this and keep my staff employed 493 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: and keep my business alive? And so social media really 494 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: did take a massive kind of step up in that respect, 495 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: and yeah, it's definitely plays quite a major part even 496 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: at the moment in regards to making money for me. 497 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: I have different types of relationships on social media, so 498 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: ongoing sponsorships as well as more short term like you know, 499 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: one to two to three month relationships with brands which 500 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: is really awesome. And then also have like a share portfolio, 501 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: but it's a very long term perspective share portfolio. So 502 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 1: I'm mouff to my own heart, Yeah, not intending on 503 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: touching it anytime soon. So I wouldn't say, oh, yeah, 504 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: I'm making money from that, but you. 505 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 2: Are making money from that, and that income is I'm 506 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 2: assuming being reinvested for your future. 507 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, so, yeah, long term Futurdara will hopefully be 508 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: very thankful. 509 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 3: So would you put yourself in a similar category to 510 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 3: an athlete in that I'm guessing the lifestyle of being 511 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 3: up at three am playing music, traveling, djaying is maybe 512 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 3: a young person's game, and when you're fifty or sixty 513 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 3: you don't want to do it anymore. Like are you 514 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 3: sort of thinking I got to earn the money now 515 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 3: while I can kind of vibe? 516 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, my partner says I will be djaying when I'm 517 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: sixty with a blue wig on sid Are I really 518 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: hope for my sake and our future children's sake that 519 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: I'm not? Is that like very sorry? 520 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 2: I want you to be doing it? If that wouldn't 521 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 2: be so cool? 522 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 3: Is that something you were aware of it? Like, oh, 523 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 3: like I can't just assume that what I earned and 524 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 3: how I earned it this year is how I'll earn 525 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 3: it in ten years. Yeah. 526 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: Absolutely, I'm like, very very very aware of that, which 527 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: is why I have tried to be relatively smart with 528 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: my money and not buy you know, really ridiculously expensive 529 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: you know, why don't buy a designer anything, Like, don't 530 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: buy you know, stupid crazy sports cars that I know 531 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: a lot of, like athletes or same musicians do. I've 532 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 1: tried in the last five years to work really well 533 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: with my financial advisors and set up long term, hopefully 534 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: safe investments for the future because I am really aware that, 535 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: you know, I'm twenty nine now. Let's say I have 536 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 1: kids in four years. I don't know how that's going 537 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: to go. Being pregnant and having babies and being up 538 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 1: at three am d jing like I don't necessarily see 539 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: the two lifestyles is very conducive, and I really want 540 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: to create and set up an environment where I feel 541 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: like I can take time off to have kids and 542 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,120 Speaker 1: can then you know, after I've done that, be like, Okay, 543 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: what's the situation, what do I feel like doing? So yeah, 544 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: I'm very aware that I mentor in my thirties and 545 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: you know, want to have kids soon and also don't 546 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: know how much longer I will be DJing for It's 547 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: kind of a scary thought. But then there's also so 548 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: much opportunity, Like social media, for example, is just absolutely 549 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: brilliant with what it allows you to do. There's so 550 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: much on there and the scope is so huge. So 551 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: I'm not worried, I'm excited, but it's definitely something. 552 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 2: I'm aware of all right, So you mentioned your share 553 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 2: portfolio before, and my next question is probably already answered, 554 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 2: but that is do you currently invest? If so, how, 555 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 2: And I'd like to know a little bit more about 556 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 2: one how you made the decision to invest, because we 557 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 2: already know you do, but two like what does that 558 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 2: look like for you? 559 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: Yeah? Cool? Love this? So I suppose I invest in 560 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,959 Speaker 1: two different types of ways in that super being that like, 561 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: you know, investment that we all kind of should be doing. 562 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: And then I do have a share portfolio that I 563 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: have created with my financial advisors. Initially, when they made 564 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 1: it for me five years ago, I didn't know anything 565 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: about anything, and I just thought it was, you know, 566 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: going and popping into the market and having a bit 567 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: of fun and that was it. And I only realized 568 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: last year crazy that there were things that my money 569 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 1: was being invested in that I didn't approve of, being 570 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: like mining and coal and live animal exports, tobacco, gambling, 571 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff. So twelve months ago ish 572 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: I worked with my financial advisors on changing that to 573 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: a total green portfolio, which was epic. It wasn't the 574 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: smartest financial decision because I suppose the green market is 575 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: kind of newer so there's less I suppose reliability. It's 576 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: not like those blue chip stuff that just like are 577 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: super reliable. 578 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, but they could be the big, juicy long term 579 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 3: wins though you say it's not as valuable, mate, Like, 580 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 3: who's to say, yeah, it may. 581 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: Be yeah, yeah. 582 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 2: And I find that really interesting because I have that 583 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 2: conversation with clients all the time because I'm an ethical 584 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 2: owner investor, so a lot of people are always saying like, Okay, 585 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 2: well the market performs said this, and I go, well, okay, 586 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 2: but in my business, we don't actually compare to that 587 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 2: benchmark because that benchmark is an indicative of the stocks 588 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 2: that we're looking at here. So I even find it 589 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 2: quite interesting when you do compare it because they're completely 590 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 2: different asset classes, They're completely different investments in my eyes, 591 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 2: so if you compare it to the average, it's kind 592 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 2: of like, yeah, I'm obviously taking a little bit of 593 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 2: a hit, But personally, I don't genuinely believe that in 594 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 2: fifty years, when I will still actually be alive, give 595 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 2: a modern science, the stocks that other people who are 596 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 2: investing in today will be as profitable because I feel 597 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 2: like there's a lot of scarcity involved in those as well. Absolutely, 598 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 2: and we're getting smarter and we have bigger voices, and 599 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 2: like we talk about live animal experts. I hate live 600 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 2: animal exports and I really yeah, it makes me sick. 601 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 2: I cannot even watch those videos. People send them to 602 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 2: me and they're like, hey, watch this. 603 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 3: A lot of people send them to you because I am. 604 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 2: That they know that I'm some kind of vicky vegan 605 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 2: hippie and they actually are like, oh, you'll love this. 606 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,719 Speaker 2: I'm like, no, no, no, That's why I'm not eating at them. 607 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 3: I'm actively avoiding this. 608 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 2: I actively avoid this. I can't see that being the future. 609 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 2: And so for my business, it's investing in the future, 610 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 2: and it just makes sense. So you're right, you probably 611 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 2: take it your financial hit now. It's also a bit 612 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 2: more expensive to invest ethically because it involves being more involved. 613 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: Yes, there was more expenses in that respect, and then 614 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: also expenses in changing the portfolio over, but absolutely no regrets. 615 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 1: For me. It was like a non negotiable when I 616 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: found out that, you know, my money was helping or 617 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 1: assisting or being invested in things that I wasn't okay with. Yeah, 618 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: we changed it over immediately, which was cool. And then 619 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: the final thing is I've been really really lucky enough 620 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: to be able to invest in some property, which has 621 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: been cool. And once again, it's just like slow, long 622 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: term burns, not trying to make quick cash grabs or 623 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: quick wins. The point of them is to have them 624 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: there and have them tick away and slowly pay them. 625 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 3: Have you been even there? She's on the money Facebook group. Yes, 626 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 3: there has been some significant landlord v Renter passionate discussions. 627 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 3: There's savage I'm a landlord and a rentor. I'm literally 628 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 3: both sides of the argument, and I'm sitting there being like, 629 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 3: oh my god, my. 630 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: Own group, what are you guys? It is really difficult though, 631 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: because I try and be a really great understanding landlord landlord, 632 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: and then you really hope, like the goodcom will come 633 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,959 Speaker 1: back to you and like, you know, make your landlord 634 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: be super nice to you. We have a great we're 635 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: renting at the moment, and we have a great landlord, 636 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: which is awesome, but like you know, that could change. 637 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, so you're the same to me, You're both sides 638 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 3: of the story. Yeah. 639 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: Absolutely. 640 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 2: I think it's really interesting though, because so many people 641 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 2: think that landlords must just be these really rich moguls 642 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 2: that have millions of houses and like that's how they 643 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 2: derive their income. And it's like, no, I bought that 644 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 2: property with the money that I've worked my ass off 645 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 2: to get, and now that income is you know, my 646 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 2: future in my retirement, and you are putting me in this. 647 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 3: Box of being mogal that probably barely breaks even. Yeah, yeah, 648 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 3: are usually a bit of a loss. 649 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, I'm not exactly. I mean, you're not rich, but. 650 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 3: Excuse me the attitude with Victoria around. 651 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 2: So moving on, I feel like you've got a lot 652 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 2: of good money habits, but I'd like to ask you, 653 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 2: what is your worst money habit? 654 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: Yeah? This is bad. So I never shop, but when 655 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: I do, I am a really terrible shopper. I go 656 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: online in a rage, thinking I'm sick of all the 657 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: clothes I wear. I probably buy like four or five 658 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: hundred dollars worth of things, which is, you know, let's 659 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: say five outfits, a heap of them, like will calm, 660 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: they won't fit properly, and I'll be like, yeah, I 661 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: will send them back. I will send them back. And 662 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: then like I'm pushing it to like that twenty eight 663 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: day limit and then off and if forget, and I 664 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: literally hate myself for it so much much for not 665 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: doing that. What do you say, twenty four hours think 666 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: about it? Yeah, way, I don't do that. I get 667 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: on in a rage and I just purchase all this 668 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: stuff and it's really toxic. So that's my money confession. First, 669 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: I love that we relatable. 670 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 3: We may have another use for DJ Tiger Lily's leftovers 671 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 3: that she's on the money. If you want some clothes, 672 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 3: make them. 673 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: You're really fashionable. 674 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 3: Do you feel, as, especially as a female being in 675 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 3: the entertainment industry, the pressure to always be wearing something 676 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 3: different because you're on Instagram all the time, and heaven 677 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 3: forbid you would wear the same clothes again? Right? 678 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: Yeah? I used to, But I'm like a massive fan 679 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: of like re wearing stuff now. Also, so you know 680 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: about sustainability and you know, reusing as much stuff as 681 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: we can. So I've started this actually cool habit which 682 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: I really like, is like putting clothes away in a 683 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: box that you just forget about. Like I get those 684 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: big plastic km up things the sixty leader tubs, pop 685 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: them away in the spare room, and then like two 686 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: seasons later, you open the box up and it's like 687 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: having you close. She's a genius, so so so good. 688 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: So yeah, I definitely do feel the pressure a little bit. 689 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: And I'm a massive fan of hiring. I hire like 690 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: a lot of my outfits for you know, events and 691 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: bits and pieces, and love doing loans from companies as well, 692 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: because then you're not actually having to buy stuff and 693 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: other girls can be loaning it, so that's really cool 694 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: as well. It's a nice advantage of having the ability 695 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: to do that. 696 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 2: Second last question of the formatted questions, what are you 697 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 2: currently saving for?

Obviously it depends on brand in 816 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 3: theory one thousand. 817 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: Yes, I've already been hit up by three dress companies 818 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: and I am one hundred percent going to work with 819 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: one of them because why not. Oh my gosh, as 820 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,359 Speaker 1: if not, like it's such, I don't mean so can 821 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: and look at the end of the day like you look, 822 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I've been obsessed with wedding photos the 823 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: last nine days and like looking through everyone's wedding stuff 824 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: and everyone's tagged anyway, So like you know, when it's like, 825 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: you know, hair by this person, make. 826 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,760 Speaker 3: It, it'll be a pretty subtle hashtag spun, won't it. Yeah? 827 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 2: And it sounds wanky right now. I definitely don't have 828 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 2: enough followers to justify any of this, but I have 829 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 2: a lot of clients that do. And you kind of 830 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 2: go people following you because they're genuinely invested in your 831 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 2: journey and what you're up to, and it gives that 832 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 2: brand if they're willing to part with that. I don't 833 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 2: really love when influencers slide into brand stams and like 834 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 2: give us free stuff, but that gives them such great 835 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 2: exposure to a community that genuinely want to be. 836 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: More like you or see what you're up to. Like, 837 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: it's fantastic as long as like the brands aligned, which 838 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: I think for wedding generally they like will so yeah, 839 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,959 Speaker 1: but then also we're conscious, like Scott and I spoke 840 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: about this the other day after we've gotten hit up 841 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: from the dress companies like not taking people for a 842 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: ride as well, because like that's their bread and butter, 843 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 1: so like figuring it out. But yes, if you want 844 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: to give me a discount for something wedding, hit me totally. 845 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 1: Champagne would be great. 846 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 2: Way hit us up. 847 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 3: We're friends with Yeah, we are. 848 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: Anyway back to the original question, that will be definitely 849 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: the next twelve months of saving. It wasn't on the 850 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,920 Speaker 1: plan life plan, but that's fine, work we work with it. 851 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 2: Like I wasn't going to ask you that question, and 852 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 2: then I knew you got engaged, So I was like, I'm. 853 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,839 Speaker 1: Gonna ask her because you bring up a wedding. I'm 854 00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: happy to talk about weddings all the time. 855 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 2: So last question before we jump into a break, how 856 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,839 Speaker 2: would you rate yourself if I forced you to give 857 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 2: yourself a financial reading. 858 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:12,399 Speaker 1: I feel pretty proud of my development with money and 859 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: like what I've done shout out to my dad and 860 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:18,720 Speaker 1: my great accountants. So I feel like I'd give myself 861 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 1: an A because I feel like I still have room 862 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: to move and to probably be a little bit more 863 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 1: savvy with general spending. But for the most part, I 864 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: feel like I'm really proud of the way I've invested 865 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 1: my money over the last ten years. I love that. 866 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to ask you so many more questions 867 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 2: about that, right, I love? Did this really quick break? 868 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 2: All right, let's jump straight back into it. 869 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: Dara. 870 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 3: You said that your financial literacy or just interested in 871 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 3: it came from your dad. He was an accountant. Did 872 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,879 Speaker 3: he literally sit you down and be like, okay, it's 873 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 3: homeschooling money time or how does that come about with him? 874 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: I think it's not been an exact sit down, A 875 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: good conversation of let's talk about money It was more 876 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 1: along the lines of a couple of years into the 877 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 1: business and things started to go really well, and it 878 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 1: was obvious that I needed some help with organizing stuff 879 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 1: because stuff just wasn't getting done, and there was money 880 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: coming in and there was money going out. And I 881 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 1: always had a bit of an anxiety of not actually 882 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: knowing how much money I owned, and running your own business, 883 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: you obviously have to pay your own tax and your 884 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: own super and you know, things like insurance and worker 885 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,839 Speaker 1: scump and all these really gross bills, but they only 886 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 1: really ever come up, like once a quarter or once 887 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 1: every twelve months, and so at the beginning, I was 888 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: really unaware of how much money I actually had and 889 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 1: like what I was actually doing. And so Dad was 890 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: really great at coming in and helping me set up 891 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 1: processes and using zero and like getting a great like 892 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: you know, finance team on board to like, you know, 893 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: help me make some smart long term decisions. So he's 894 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 1: been really good in that respect, and I love his 895 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 1: outlook on finance, and he loves spending, but he also 896 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: loves saving, but spending things on the right things like 897 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: shares or property. Him and Mum are pretty frugal with 898 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:26,279 Speaker 1: their spending. I'm definitely no where here is frugals. Oh 899 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 1: my gosh, my mom is horrified of the things I 900 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 1: spend my money on, like fourteen dollars vegan cheese, but 901 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: it's so delicious. I'm sorry. 902 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 2: Agree biocheese. It's biocheese, isn't it. You don't like biocheese? 903 00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 2: I like Delecto's. Do you have Harri's Farm here? 904 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 1: I don't think so. It's like a big supermar grosser 905 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,359 Speaker 1: in Sydney. You'll be able to get Delecto online. They 906 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: do a blue cheese and it literally tastes like blue cheese, 907 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,319 Speaker 1: but it's really expensive. Yeah, ask yess how much I 908 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:53,919 Speaker 1: spent all food? 909 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 3: Is? 910 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: Yes? Pretty bad. 911 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,880 Speaker 3: What's your parents' vibe and your vibe on how money 912 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 3: works for you? So for me, for example, I actually 913 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 3: have no qualms about being rich. For me, it's just 914 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 3: about security. You know. I have this deep fear that 915 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 3: one day it'll all be gone and I'll be out 916 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:09,879 Speaker 3: on the streets and I know. So for me, it's 917 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 3: about like safety in security, But for other people it's 918 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 3: about flashiness or doing stuff. And there's lots of different versions. 919 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,760 Speaker 3: So what would your parents be and what would yours 920 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 3: be the same. 921 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 1: So Mum and dadda definitely safety and security. They do 922 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:26,520 Speaker 1: have an amazing beautiful house. It's like right on the 923 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: ocean in Sydney, but it's like not flashy and that 924 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: it's you know, there's not marble bench stops and like 925 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,360 Speaker 1: chandeliers and all this stuff. It's like a really cozy 926 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 1: home in that respect. That and they do definitely have 927 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: a safety and security mindset when it comes to money, 928 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: so like considering like their super and like their properties 929 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 1: and like their share portfolio and stuff. Dad definitely likes 930 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: to go rogue on the shares. 931 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 3: Or gets a hot tip and just has a crack 932 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 3: at something. 933 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:55,879 Speaker 1: Absolutely, But I think I'm definitely like that as well, 934 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,760 Speaker 1: keeping in mind what we were speaking about before about 935 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,360 Speaker 1: really understanding that my career probably has some sort of 936 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 1: time frame on it and how to prepare for the future. 937 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:11,440 Speaker 1: So I'm definitely not slashy. I'm definitely more about the 938 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,239 Speaker 1: security kind of things. But in saying that, like, yeah, 939 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: I did just buy a new car, although it took 940 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 1: me way too long to do. And Scott and I 941 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 1: do live in a lovely house, but we're still renting 942 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,880 Speaker 1: because we can't afford to buy the house that we 943 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,959 Speaker 1: actually live in because the Sydney property market is just ridunculous. 944 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,799 Speaker 1: So I think I do spend the money on things 945 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 1: that I know are going to make me happy and 946 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,000 Speaker 1: make me feel good, but then also make sure there's 947 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 1: enough to be putting into you know, my savings and 948 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:39,760 Speaker 1: my shares and all that kind of stuff. 949 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,879 Speaker 2: You mentioned career before, and you know, knowing that there's 950 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 2: a limited timeframe on your career, but I want to 951 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 2: know what did you want to be when you grew up? 952 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 2: Did you always want to be a DJ? How did 953 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:50,719 Speaker 2: that eventuate? 954 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,960 Speaker 1: So I went to a selective girls high school, and 955 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 1: you were going to be like in finance, a doctor, 956 00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 1: a lawyer, an engineer, and that was kind of easy. 957 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: So I actually went to UNI to study dentistry. What, yeah, 958 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 1: I know, she has such beautiful teath. Yeah, oh you 959 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: know what. That's why I wanted to do it, because 960 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 1: I had theest teeth you've ever seen. And then my 961 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:17,919 Speaker 1: orthodontist changed my self confidence forever. Like I would never 962 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,919 Speaker 1: open my mouth, I didn't want to smile. I feel 963 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,359 Speaker 1: so sad thinking about how like. 964 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 2: I'm literally the same. If you go through our photos 965 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 2: on Instagram.
