I 510 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 6: would always say, obviously, come prepared. It annoys me that 511 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 6: your boss is like, well, come prepared with your performance. 512 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: She can't. 513 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 5: My manager didn't do. 514 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 3: You know, my performance? 515 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 5: I don't see, like I know, I don't know. I 516 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 5: just have a lot of thoughts and feelings about things 517 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 5: like that, which we will leave for another time. We've 518 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 5: done whole episodes on negotiating your salary, which, honestly, Beck 519 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 5: you should go and listen to. Some of them were 520 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 5: pre you being on the show, and that could actually 521 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 5: benefit you. I know Jess is probably going to have 522 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 5: an answer similar to mine, because I mean we've worked 523 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 5: together for like five years now, which is insane. 524 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 3: Just what would you do? 525 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: So it sounds like within your role, there's obviously clear 526 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: guidelines as to what categorizes you into the different things 527 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: like obviously you've said that you've been given your own machine, 528 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: which is really exciting, so that puts you in the 529 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: high category. 530 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 2: W five. 531 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: I would just cross check that you're ticking all of 532 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: the other markers for a W five because typically when 533 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: you have salary bands like this, it's outlined. 534 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's like what's the word award that's it, or 535 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 5: like ban Yeah, there might be a job description or something. 536 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 5: Maybe you know somebody at that higher job description that 537 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 5: could provide you with their job description, so you could 538 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 5: like cross check, yeah, there's a go to your manager. 539 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: There's a really good guide to awards on the Fairwork website. 540 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: There's actually a huge document that outlines every award that exists. 541 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: So you can go to their and you can search 542 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: by award or you can search by job. It's like 543 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: there's a lot of different ways you can filter it 544 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: and you can go through and you can find specifically 545 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: what the W five is. Cross check that you're taking 546 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: all the markers. If you're ticking all the markers, I 547 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: would say, don't negotiate. 548 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 5: Oh we're not negotiating W five babe, Like go for them. 549 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 5: We're not just going for it, We're just letting our 550 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 5: boss know. I think there's been an issue and I'm 551 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 5: meant to be on W five. I actually I feel 552 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 5: bad about it. I checked absolutely everything and I am 553 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,719 Speaker 5: so could you just fix that up and see how 554 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 5: that conversation goes, because that's a different conversation than negotiating 555 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 5: to be. 556 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 3: On a rate that you should already have been. 557 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 6: On and then get that's a great idea because now 558 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 6: they're in the position where they have to then tell 559 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 6: you you're not and then explain. 560 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 3: Why you're not deserving of that or why you do not. 561 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 5: So am I not doing the capabilities that I already 562 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 5: cross checked and confirmed that I do. 563 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 3: That's great. 564 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 5: Did you want me to not do those things here 565 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 5: in this business? 566 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 3: Actually take some things off my plate in that case? 567 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 7: Yeah? 568 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 1: Weird. It does change the dynamic. 569 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 5: And I think as women, we automatically go, I really 570 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 5: should talk to them about this, or you know, in 571 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 5: the nicest possible way, I should negotiate it. Hold on, 572 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 5: there are some things that aren't about negotiating, which we 573 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 5: should have as a good skill. There are some things 574 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 5: that we actually need to just back ourselves and be like, hey, 575 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 5: business like this is actually incorrect and you need to 576 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 5: fix it, and then let them squirm. 577 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but I, as you said, come prepare, do 578 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: all you do, diligent, make sure you are to hear 579 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: those boxes. If you're not to hear all the boxes 580 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: with W five. Then maybe you can name for somewhere 581 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: in the middle, or do exactly as Beck did and say, hey, 582 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: what do I need to do to get there? Yes, 583 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: but yeah, just approaching them. 584 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 5: Also, you and I we can sit down later, Beck 585 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 5: and we can work out what you can say to 586 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 5: your other boss about getting that pay rice. 587 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 3: Thank you. 588 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 5: I will literally be like, okay, cool, So this is 589 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,239 Speaker 5: what you're going to take. The first thing I'm going 590 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 5: to tell you to go and find is the Hayes 591 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 5: Salary Guide. So that's downloadable online for free, massive pdf. 592 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 5: You're going to have to control F to find your job, sure, 593 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 5: but my favorite thing about that guide is it's I 594 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 5: think it is the biggest recruitment guide in Australia. And 595 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 5: when I say biggest, I mean it has the biggest 596 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 5: sample size, so the most amount of like people in 597 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 5: its thousands. But you can control F your job, and 598 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 5: then once you find your job, you can then look 599 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 5: at it based on the different states and territories and 600 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 5: then the years of experience and what your salary should 601 00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 5: look like. Hy s Hayes oh hellary Guide, and yeah, 602 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 5: go from there. That's something that I've been recommending four 603 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 5: years and it's something that I use. You know, if 604 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 5: I'm looking at pulling a new role into the business, 605 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 5: I'm looking everywhere. I'm looking on seek, I'm looking on LinkedIn, 606 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 5: I'm checking other job descriptions, making sure that you know one. 607 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 5: I'm capturing everything I need to. But is the salary reflective? 608 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 5: And then I go to the Hayes Salary Guide and 609 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 5: work out what would be reasonable and what is like not. 610 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 5: And even if someone comes to me and says like, oh, 611 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 5: I would want salary X, but my salary is higher, 612 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 5: I'll be like, well, your salary is actually worth more. Sorry, 613 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 5: Like I'm not going to pay you less just because 614 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 5: you suggested less. Like I'd be so embarrassed. So yeah, 615 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 5: that for me is like I won't say the Golden ticket, 616 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 5: but a really cool tool. And if you want to, 617 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 5: you could say to your manager and like this is 618 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 5: just side advice. We could write a really nice email 619 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 5: that outlines everything and says, hey, YEP, I took your advice. 620 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 5: I've gone and done my research. I've gotten all of 621 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 5: my stuff together. I wanted to provide you all this 622 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 5: information before our meeting. Here's all the information on my performance. 623 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 5: Here's how I have excelled, because sometimes these conversations are 624 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,719 Speaker 5: really hard to have in person, like because you might 625 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 5: fumble it or be really anxious. Right, So we're going 626 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 5: to do this nice email. Also, I've checked the Hay salary. 627 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 5: Glad I've attached it for your convenience, and my salary 628 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 5: could be or should be about here. Let's have a 629 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 5: meeting next week to discuss all of this. So they're 630 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 5: getting all of the information that they need and know 631 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 5: what you're asking for to begin with. And it's literally 632 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 5: what we're saying before about this C five thing. We're 633 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 5: putting the control back in your hands because they're going 634 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 5: to have to come back and be like, no, you 635 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 5: don't do these things. But what you think it was 636 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 5: a five minute email? No, that was a very well 637 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 5: where researched email. To make sure that I'm not sending 638 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 5: you a hopeful I'm being like, hey, cool, you told 639 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 5: me to look at my performance. I actually did, and 640 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 5: I'm above and beyond. 641 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. 642 00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, they have to come back and say, oh, no 643 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 5: we can't and what not. But it puts you in 644 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 5: a much stronger position. 645 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 6: Gorgeous advice say less baby, Yeah, I love that, thank you. 646 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 3: That is okay? 647 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 5: Moving on juicy DM, and I say juicy because I'm 648 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 5: just like, how can you afford. 649 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 3: A house outright? So would you like to hear it? 650 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, Hey, she's on the money. 651 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,479 Speaker 5: We are currently renting out our property to live closer 652 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 5: to my work while the kids are young. 653 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 3: Fifoux Worker. 654 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 5: It was never our dream home, but it's a good 655 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 5: house with nice memories. Now prices have boomed and there's 656 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 5: a lot of equity sitting in it. If we sold today, 657 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 5: we'd walk away with six hundred grand cash after expenses. 658 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 5: The thing is, do we sell them buy something else 659 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 5: in that budget? To be debt free To buy the 660 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 5: property we actually want, we'd need to move into state, 661 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 5: away from family and friends, as that's where homes in 662 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,239 Speaker 5: our price range are. But being debt free could mean 663 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 5: quitting FIVEFO and being around the kids more while living 664 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 5: in a dreamy location. All the investment strategies say to 665 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 5: use the equity to buy something else renting it out, 666 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 5: but it's not a good rental. It costs more than 667 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 5: it makes, and then we just have more debt. What 668 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 5: would you guys do? 669 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 6: I wouldn't ever prioritize It really is a struggle because 670 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 6: both what I was about to say was like I 671 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 6: wouldn't prioritize something over a lifestyle or like, But then 672 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 6: I guess either scenario is lifestyle. It's like spend time 673 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 6: with your family and don't have to work as much 674 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 6: and move away from your friends and all. 675 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 3: That kind of stuff. But I'm just sure there's a 676 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 3: middle ground. Like say, for example, we're here in Melbourne. 677 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 3: I could not with that money be able to. 678 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 6: Afford a four bedroom house in Brunswick, but maybe I 679 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 6: could in Reservoir. I'm not that far away from my friends. 680 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 6: And maybe I'm not buying it outright. Maybe I've just 681 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 6: got a two hundred thousand dollars mortgage. I'm just I 682 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 6: don't know if that's actually how it works, but a 683 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 6: smaller mortgage, just like you don't have to you don't 684 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 6: have to go buy it completely out right. 685 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: Just get somethings, maybe even a lit do. 686 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 6: We more than that, and you can be close to 687 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 6: your friends and family, you don't have to work as much, 688 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 6: you spend time with your kids. 689 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: Like everything's good. 690 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 6: Maybe just get like a part time job, also like 691 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 6: not working at all, Not that that's what they're suggesting, 692 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 6: but it sounds great, But when you're sometimes you and 693 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 6: you leave for too long and you're like, I'm desperately 694 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 6: bored and sad and lonely, and so there might be 695 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,959 Speaker 6: this nice balance in between that we're not looking at. 696 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 6: So you know, have a look at places around you 697 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 6: just slightly outside your zone, but you're close to your 698 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 6: friends still, and you're close to your lifestyle. You're close 699 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 6: to the schools, and you're close to everything you know, 700 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 6: and even if you need a little mortgage, it's okay? 701 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 5: Is that right? 702 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 3: Am I right in saying that? Is that a possibility 703 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 3: that you get a little mortgage to something? 704 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: Yeah? 705 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 7: Cool? 706 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all dependent on what they purchase. So as 707 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: to say our listeners saying that they to purchase a 708 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: home within their price range their meaning within the cash 709 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: that they have, so at around the six hundred thousand 710 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: dollar marks. Yeah, obviously we don't have any context as 711 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: to where you live or any insight into you know, 712 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: what distance is at what the price is. You know, 713 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: can you move The example you gave here Beck is 714 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: you move, you know, maybe half an hour away from 715 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: your ideal location, but the price range drops significantly. We 716 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: don't really know what that looks like for our listener. Yes, 717 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: that's I would say, you need to consider how reliant 718 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: you are on your network, like your family and your friends. 719 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: Because if you're someone who has you know, mom and 720 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: dad look after the kids a couple of days a week, 721 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: we're having dinner, you know, once or twice a week 722 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: with our friends, We've got all our regular catch ups. 723 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: I think moving away from that would be a lot. 724 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: Whereas if you find that because your five fo perhaps 725 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: you're already a little bit more isolated, the move may 726 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: not be as taxing on you, or it may not 727 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: be as hard to move away from that circle. It's 728 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: really going to depend on, like how closely I guess 729 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: you're leaning on everybody. You said that your ideal or 730 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: dreamy location. In my mind, I'm picturing you moving to 731 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: like a beach somewhere, right, Like you're moving from like 732 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: a city or a countryside town to like a beach 733 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: or something like that. And so I guess you also 734 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: have to weigh up, like the lifestyle that you would 735 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: live in this new location again against the loss of 736 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: your proximity to friends and family starting over, it might 737 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: be exciting for you like you might like the challenge. 738 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: You can make new friends in new places, Like, It's 739 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: not as if you move away and you never talk 740 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: to anybody ever. Again, family is a little bit trickier obviously, 741 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: but it really depends on you in your situation. I agree, though, 742 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: I think that being debt free is a really great 743 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: appealing thing, and I'm sure many of us would love 744 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,959 Speaker 1: to never have any debt when it comes to our property. 745 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: But if you have that six hundred thousand dollars in cash, 746 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: you could potentially take a small loan with very minimal 747 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: repayments compared to what you would are paying currently and 748 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: have Yeah, that middle ground where maybe you're still within 749 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: the state or driving distance, maybe you're a couple hours 750 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: away from the people you love, but also in a 751 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: property that you love as well. Yes, I feel like 752 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: we don't eve enough details to really be able to 753 00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: lack fully. 754 00:32:58,920 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean? 755 00:32:59,720 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 2: Yeah? 756 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 3: No, I totally get it. 757 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 5: I am like, I've been looking at it and thinking 758 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 5: about it, and you've just told me that essentially you 759 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 5: have six hundred thousand dollars in equity. Get financial advice. 760 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 5: Go sit down with a financial advisor and talk about 761 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 5: your lifestyle goals, what you want to achieve, what that's 762 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 5: going to look like. You know that you do want 763 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 5: to work less. What income requirements you have in the future, Like, 764 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 5: just being completely debt free doesn't mean you don't need 765 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 5: income coming in the door. Like just because you have 766 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 5: a house fully paid off doesn't mean you never work 767 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 5: a day in your life again unfortunately, Yeah, so what 768 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 5: does that look like? Because a financial advisor could sit 769 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 5: down and be like, okay, cool, well let's do some projections. 770 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 5: And as an ex financial advisor, this was one of 771 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 5: my favorite things. Like we would do projections based on 772 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 5: different scenarios, so then we could pick the scenario that 773 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 5: made the most sense based on that projection. So we 774 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 5: could project you staying in that property. We could project 775 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 5: you renting out that property. And I know that you're saying, oh, 776 00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 5: that property costs more than it does yield in rent income, 777 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 5: which is fine, but like, what would that property be 778 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 5: worth in the future. What are your capital gains on 779 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 5: that property? You know, what are the selling costs? Back 780 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 5: to what you were saying, Jess, like what would childcare 781 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 5: look like like? All of those additional things, Because yes, 782 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 5: you want more freedom and flexibility, but just being completely 783 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 5: debt free today might not actually put you in the 784 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 5: wealthiest position. Long term debt free fantastic sounds incredibly sexy, 785 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 5: but if you've got thirty plus years of working left, 786 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 5: like are we investing? Like? How are we creating long 787 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 5: term wealth? Because extinguishing debt doesn't necessarily mean that that's 788 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 5: the best decision for you. Like I know that with 789 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,240 Speaker 5: my mortgages, if you just extinguished one today, that like great. 790 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 3: No worries. 791 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 5: I'd love to be quote debt free on my mortgage, 792 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 5: But like, what am I doing with that income that's 793 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 5: coming in now? Like that would be the question. If 794 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,720 Speaker 5: I don't have a mortgage, how am I creating wealth? 795 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:55,320 Speaker 2: Like? 796 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 5: Am I investing it in the share market? Am I 797 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 5: buying another property? Am I building another business? 798 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 2: Like? 799 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 3: What do all these things look? 800 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 6: Like? 801 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 5: That's the question, not should I just move and be 802 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 5: completely debt free? Yes, you would get more time with kids, 803 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 5: and I totally get that because as a mum, I 804 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 5: want to spend the most amount of time with my baby, 805 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 5: but I also need to pay his school fees in 806 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 5: the future. I also need to create a lifestyle where 807 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,399 Speaker 5: my husband and I can comfortably retire so that maybe 808 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 5: one day, when Harvey decides to have kids, I can 809 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 5: afford to give child care to my kids. Like, there's 810 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 5: a lot to think about, and that's probably not the 811 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 5: sexiest of answers. But if you are telling me that 812 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,360 Speaker 5: you have six hundred thousand dollars in equity in your property, 813 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 5: I promise you have the cash to pay a financial 814 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 5: advisor in the best possible position. 815 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 3: That's a great point. 816 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: Whatever Bill say. 817 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 5: Okay, So there was a lot of opinions. So first 818 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 5: question we asked what would you do in you're in 819 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 5: this situation. Forty five percent of you said I'd sell 820 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 5: and be debt free. Twenty eight percent of you said 821 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 5: sell and get a new mortgage, three percent of you 822 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 5: said hold and use equity to invest in. Four percent 823 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 5: of you said keep renting and wait it out. We 824 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 5: then asked, would you move into state away from friends 825 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 5: and family if it meant being mortgage free and quitting 826 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 5: five fo to be with your family. Twenty six percent 827 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 5: of you said yes, it would one hundred percent be 828 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 5: worth it, Forty six percent of you said maybe it 829 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 5: would be a hard call, and twenty seven percent of 830 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 5: you said no, I could never leave my support system. 831 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 5: We then said what is your two cents? And we 832 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 5: had a number of good comments. So first comment said, 833 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 5: five FO is very challenging as a lifestyle. I've been 834 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 5: doing it for nine years. It's not for the faint hearted. 835 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 5: That's a great point, very true. But also what does 836 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 5: that lifestyle exchange look like? So, yes, you're changing five 837 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 5: FO and it is not for the faint hearted. But 838 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,399 Speaker 5: often with FIVEFO you've got like five on, five off 839 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 5: or whatever that might look like.
