Sorry, that's true my 59 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 7: other boss, my other boss, who is probably not as 60 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 7: kind and generous as you are. 61 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: VD. 62 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 5: I am a lot. 63 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 7: I'm a lot of work from home whenever basically, but 64 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 7: I really do kind of take the piss. I love 65 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 7: working home because we're to sit in the sun. I 66 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 7: feel like I know what I have to do every day, 67 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 7: but that could be at eight am for an hour, 68 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 7: or that could be at ten pm for an hour. 69 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 7: But if you're someone who can't work from home all 70 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 7: the time. You do have to go into work. I 71 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 7: would say the best thing I ever did was kind 72 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 7: of just like be tired, which it really sucks because 73 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 7: it's like we are working so much. But I always 74 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 7: make plans outside of work so I have something to 75 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 7: look forward to, because I cannot believe that for eight 76 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 7: hours a day, we are trapped and we can't be 77 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 7: whatever we want to be. We can't be doing whatever 78 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 7: we want to be doing.

And I guess in a capitalist society, 81 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 7: I'm telling you that there is no best way to 82 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 7: balance that other than quitting your job and living out in. 83 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 3: Sticks, and then you'll be screwed. 84 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 5: We need the government's change out.

We 176 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 6: were discouraged from leaving, and like the difference that that 177 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 6: had on my mental health, which then obviously impacts exactly 178 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 6: as you said, like how I performed. 179 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 3: It's crazy. Yeah, it actually drives me insane. And maybe 180 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 3: we need to do a whole episode on how we 181 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 3: think that managers should run their business. Because if you're 182 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 3: newer to she's on the money and you're like, oh, 183 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 3: Victoria's finance girl. Yes I am, but I'm also a 184 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 3: psychology girl. I did two psych degrees. I worked in 185 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 3: organizational psychology, and my entire career before finance was about 186 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 3: improving employer engagement, increasing culture in organizations, and like to 187 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 3: get a little bit stats heavy and like go off 188 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 3: the side. We see that engaged employees produce fifty percent 189 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 3: higher shareholder return for their businesses. So it's not just 190 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 3: about doing the right thing and being a nice human 191 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 3: and going go to blood is have a really good time. Sorry, 192 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 3: Jess's going to make me more money if she's happy. 193 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 3: You're going to put more time and energy and effort 194 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 3: into your job if you feel respected by it. Yeah, 195 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 3: so selfishly? Does it not make sense for everybody you 196 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 3: to go maybe just maybe we should respect our staff. 197 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 6: And if you can't use it, why are you hiring? 198 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 3: Are you hiring? Anyway? Yeah, different story for a different day. 199 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 3: How do I manage work life balance poorly? I think 200 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 3: it is a very different situation when you are a 201 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 3: business owner than when you are an employee. So I 202 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 3: want to acknowledge that I don't think everyone can do 203 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 3: it the way I do. I would say I negotiate 204 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: my work life balance like I'm negotiating with a toddler 205 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 3: who just got home from daycare and hasn't had their 206 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 3: afternoon snack. So some days I am a productivity queen. 207 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 3: I'm a weapon. I annoy the shit out of my team. 208 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 3: I'm ticking off absolutely everything. I basically run the amazing race. 209 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 3: Then there are days where my brain literally says nah, 210 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 3: and I'm cleaning my pantry instead of replying to emails. 211 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 3: There are other days I'm like, I'm going to set boundaries, 212 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 3: and then someone pops into my DMS and says, hey, girl, 213 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 3: I've got a quick question, and I am back where 214 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 3: I was before, and I have no boundaries and I 215 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 3: am answering your quick question that I said I wasn't 216 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: going to do today. I feel like I schedule my 217 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 3: life like a relatively responsible adult because I have to. 218 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 3: But then I also stay up late scrolling on TikTok 219 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: because I feel like I need to get some time 220 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 3: for me back. And yeah, balance is not really a 221 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 3: real thing for me. I don't believe in work life 222 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 3: balance when you are a business owner, I think it's 223 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 3: about what actually matters today for me? What does that 224 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 3: look like? Am I putting my family first? That's my 225 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 3: priority always, But like some days it's work, some days 226 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 3: it's mumlife. Some days it is rotting on the couch 227 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 3: and some days it's me googling what are the symptoms 228 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 3: of burnout and the meeting all the criterion. Well, Google's 229 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 3: not always right, and yeah, that's how I managed my life. 230 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 3: I wish I could be like, oh, I go to 231 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 3: pilates and I do this, and you know, I eat 232 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 3: healthy and I do well. Like sorry, yes we should 233 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 3: be all doing those things. But like I think as 234 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 3: a business owner, being able to say work life valance 235 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 3: doesn't really exist. I'm always going to have competing priorities. 236 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 3: I just need to focus on what matters for today 237 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 3: that's going to get me through. 238 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 6: It's a great take. 239 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 3: Not know if it was a great take, but like 240 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 3: it's the club I'm in. Enough ranting from me about 241 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 3: increasing shareholder value by respecting your stuff. Miss Jesse Ricci 242 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 3: community money, wins and confessions. What are we putting on 243 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 3: the table. 244 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 6: I've got a quick hoop for you this week. Firstly 245 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 6: from Sean. She said she signed up for a free 246 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 6: trial and this is actually made me fail because she 247 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 6: thought it was a month for free. Said her reminder 248 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 6: in her phone to cancel before the end of the 249 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 6: free trial. Turns out the trial was in fact only 250 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 6: for a week, and she got smacked with a two 251 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 6: hundred and twenty dollars annual subscription. She said it won't 252 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 6: ruin her financially, but has definitely ruined her mood, and 253 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 6: she's since gone through all of her subscriptions and canceled 254 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 6: everything she no longer needs or uses. I reckon Shan 255 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 6: that you should just send them a little email and say, hey, 256 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 6: I'm so sorry. I thought it was a month long trial, 257 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 6: not a week. Is there any chance that we could 258 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,599 Speaker 6: refund that and just see. 259 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 3: Just see you. I just don't get exactly. 260 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 6: Sometimes places will be really nice and honor it, knowing 261 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 6: that when you do have the money you might come 262 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 6: back and choose to spend it with them, but just 263 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 6: give it a trashant. Next, I've got one from Chavon 264 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,599 Speaker 6: who said, I've been working at a country hospital for 265 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 6: the past five weeks. There's no cafe at the hospital, 266 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 6: so I've had to make all of my own coffees 267 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 6: at home. Normally I easily spend twelve dollars a day 268 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 6: when I'm working in the city. Her pods are ten 269 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 6: for ten dollars. Great, big money win. I know we 270 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 6: all like to get a little treaty, but make your 271 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 6: coffee at home mass big difference. Next, I've got a 272 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 6: money win from Money, who said she's actually got two 273 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 6: money wins. Her ADHD brain organized a return label for 274 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 6: a pair of shoes, but she did not follow through 275 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 6: with the return. 276 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, relatable. I've done that before on the iconic. 277 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 3: Yeah it's so easy to set but then you have 278 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 3: to do it. 279 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, that old chestnut. She said, the purchasing months ago, 280 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 6: but she contacted the company and they said she could 281 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 6: still return it for a ree hunt, which I thought 282 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 6: was that's really funey win. And she's also trying to 283 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 6: come back on her coffee purchases and her lovely colleague 284 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 6: bought her a coffee today. 285 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 3: Good for you, as sorry, is life not when you're 286 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 3: grateful for the small things? 287 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 6: Absolutely fighting the little joys. 288 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 3: Tell me the little joys, they're always the big ones total. 289 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 6: Well, speaking of a little joy, I've got one from 290 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 6: Sophie who said she got a free snack chippy at 291 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 6: Grilled because her and the manager were viting so cute. 292 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 6: Thays have to be a nice human being to customer 293 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 6: service providers.

Yeah, it 371 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 3: works really well. Thanks for coming to my ted talk. 372 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 6: That is so funny. I don't know why papertal marker 373 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 6: is scary to me, so it's crazy face. 374 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 3: Do you know what is the most disappointing part about 375 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 3: all of it is that it doesn't last as long 376 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 3: as you think. Like, I mean, you probably drew love 377 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 3: hearts on your like face or something, it would be 378 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 3: different than your lips. But I feel like it comes 379 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 3: off my lips thru like an end of the day, 380 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 3: which is fine. But sharpie is what surgeons used to 381 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 3: mark your body. That's a good So it's actually I 382 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 3: I won't say like, oh, just sniffer sharpie. That's probably 383 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 3: a bad idea, but like the ingredients aren't gonna hurt you, 384 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 3: then you're like super toxic or anything. And I mean 385 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 3: people are going to slide into my DMS this week 386 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 3: and be like that is such bad advice. Don't take it. 387 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 3: Then that's true. Don't do what I do if you 388 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 3: think it's terrible idea like. 389 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 7: Sorry, no, and I use sharpie all the time and 390 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 7: my skin for beards for Halloween, for anything like. 391 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 5: Any and look at me now, I'm doing just fine. 392 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 3: Against the wall anyway.

Let's go to 394 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 3: a really quick break because on the flip side, we're 395 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 3: going to be talking about a dilemma that's about how 396 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 3: to privately fund surgery and maybe your surgeon will use 397 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 3: a sharpie. Maybe slid into our dms this week about 398 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 3: whether it's worth taking up your parents on an offer 399 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 3: to be a guarantee for your home loan, but you're 400 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 3: really worried that they are going to be strings attached, 401 00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 3: so don't go anywhere. 402 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 6: Welcome back, everybody.

Now, let's take a 411 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 8: listen to this week's money dilemma. 412 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 4: Hi, she's on the money. I have a money dilemma 413 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 4: relating to how I should privately fund bariatric surgery needed 414 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 4: for my health related to my PCOS and my arthritis. 415 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 4: The two options would be to either take out a 416 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 4: gold level of hospital cover for twelve months, which would 417 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 4: be a real struggle to maintain with my other expenses 418 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 4: on my income, plus there would still be an out 419 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 4: of pocket of about five to six thousand dollars at 420 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 4: the time of the surgery. Or the other option would 421 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 4: be to take it out of my super, which is 422 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 4: currently sitting at just under thirty four thousand dollars. There 423 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 4: would be no cost out of pocket, but if I 424 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 4: took it out now, it would nearly drain my super. 425 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 4: I'm nearly thirty years old and I won't be looking 426 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 4: at having this surgery done for another couple of years. 427 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 4: But I am very aware that if I am to 428 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 4: go down the route of funding it through super, that 429 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 4: I would lose out on so much interest in the 430 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 4: long run. I really don't know what to do and 431 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 4: which option would be best for me. So I'd love 432 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 4: to hear what you think. Thanks to be well. 433 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 7: I think that when it comes to health and ultimately 434 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 7: mental health, I obviously put that above everything. I'm saying, 435 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 7: take it out of SUPER. I absolutely would do that, 436 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 7: and then just be where possible and with your new 437 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 7: life because it's you know you said peacos and. 438 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 5: Arthritis as well. 439 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 7: I think that they said you could potentially be making 440 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 7: extra money where you couldn't have before. Maybe you didn't 441 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,239 Speaker 7: have the energy, maybe you in all these things. And 442 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 7: not to say that you have to do that, but 443 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 7: I'm saying, like your potential to do that if you 444 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 7: needed to. I think it's a win win teats SUPER 445 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 7: and then put extra what's it called contributions in and 446 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 7: there are tax benefits here and there. Maybe talk to 447 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 7: an account about that, maybe talk to FEVD about that 448 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 7: extra stuff, but there are tax benefits to doing that. Yeah, 449 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 7: just I think do that now, put extra contributions in. 450 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 6: In the meantime, if you're saying that it's going to 451 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 6: mostly drain your SUPER, my assumption is your surgery is 452 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 6: going to cost in between and yeah, like twenty five and. 453 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 3: I think it's about five thousand, yeah, which is just 454 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 3: from knowing what our community has spent on it. I'm 455 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 3: I'm sure that there are surgeons that charge like fifty grand, 456 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 3: and I'm also sure that there are surgeons who do 457 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 3: it differently. But like, I'm not a medical professional, so 458 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 3: I'm not passing comment on that. 459 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 6: Yes, I personally would be inclined to go the private 460 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 6: health route, simply because you've said, I know, you said 461 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 6: that paying for that would be a struggle, which says 462 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 6: to me that paying back twenty five to thirty thousand 463 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 6: dollars into your super is going to be a bigger struggle. 464 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 6: So it's let's say your private health at an extreme 465 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 6: is maybe one hundred and fifty to two hundred dollars 466 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 6: a month over that year, call it fifteen hundred to 467 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 6: two thousand dollars maybe, like yeah, taking a broad sweeping 468 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 6: guess right, plus your six thousand dollars out of pocket, 469 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 6: and you said it's doable, it would be tight as 470 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 6: opposed to trying to repay twenty five thousand dollars plus, 471 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 6: I think the financial strain that that put on you 472 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 6: would be more significant. 473 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 5: The overlaying caveat. 474 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 6: I suppose is how urgently do you need the surgery 475 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 6: said it was in a couple of years. Yeah, so 476 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 6: if your quality of life is not going to suffer significantly, 477 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 6: I would be making that choice because I think in 478 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 6: terms of like the long term financial implications for you, 479 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 6: it will be less detrimental based on the information that 480 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 6: you've given us. But V, I feel like you're much 481 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 6: better place to talk about this personally. 482 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 3: I get it, like there is like I have not 483 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,479 Speaker 3: been in that situation, but there is a surgery that 484 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 3: you require, full stop, end of story. We need to 485 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 3: fund that surgery. I don't care what your surgery is 486 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 3: if you need it for your mental health. Like again, 487 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 3: same side as you beck. We need to find a 488 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 3: way to do it. Yeah, you could do it through 489 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 3: your super I'll get to that in a second. I 490 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,479 Speaker 3: don't think it's the worst thing in the entire world 491 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 3: to take on debt for a surgery that is necessary. Like, 492 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 3: not everybody has the privilege of just having twenty five 493 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 3: thirty thousand dollars sitting in their savings account to spend 494 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 3: on these things. And you need to go into this 495 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 3: with like an understanding of well how much would that 496 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 3: cost you? Because it's not just going to cost you 497 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 3: twenty five to thirty thousand dollars. There would be interest, 498 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 3: there would be like loan repayments whatever. You're right, Jess 499 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 3: in that if you're going to take that out of 500 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 3: Super and then all of a sudden you can't afford 501 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 3: the loan repayments, I would be looking at taking money 502 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 3: out of Super as a loan. You need to make 503 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 3: a repayment schedule. I don't want to be the debbie 504 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 3: downing here, but you said you were thirty, and you 505 00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 3: said you had about thirty four thousand dollars in Super. 506 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,719 Speaker 3: You're behind the average ye at the moment, the average 507 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 3: thirty to thirty four year old has forty four thousand 508 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 3: dollars in superannuation. And that is not to shame you. 509 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 3: That is just to say that's a bigger decision than 510 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 3: you think it is. That is putting future you who Yes, 511 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 3: I know we need this surgery to be healthy, but 512 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 3: we can't afford to retire if we're working this way, 513 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 3: and that's a really big priority as well. So I'd 514 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 3: be looking at what other options exist. Yes, the private 515 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 3: health for twelve months feels like a lot of money, 516 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 3: but like, have you done the numbers? What does it 517 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 3: come out to in the wash, Like, is this surgery 518 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 3: if you have private health insurance like that for an 519 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 3: individual gold level private health insurance is probably around two 520 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty to three hundred and fifty dollars a month. 521 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 3: What does that add up to over the period of 522 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 3: time that you would need it before having the surgery 523 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 3: plus the six thousand dollars? Like, how does that work? 524 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 3: Have you done the numbers on that? Have you done 525 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 3: the numbers on your super I'm apprehensive that that money 526 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 3: would get repaid if you're saying you don't have the 527 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 3: free cash flow and what debt options do you have. 528 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 3: I'm not saying that this is what we should do 529 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 3: because I am agreeing with you that we need this surgery. 530 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 3: I'm going to approach this as though that surgery is 531 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 3: a non negotiable. You're telling me you have a cost 532 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 3: that we have to fund, not oh, to be so nice, 533 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 3: I want to get my boobs done, Like this is 534 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 3: for your health. This isn't just like a nice to have, 535 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 3: do you know what I mean? 536 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 7: So? 537 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 3: How are we funding this that best suits your lifestyle? 538 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 3: And you know what, for some people, going into personal 539 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 3: debt is going to make the most sense. Do I 540 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 3: love you being in personal debt? Absolutely not. But I'm 541 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 3: also not delusional to the fact that that is a 542 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 3: valid option. Yeah, and if we are going down that route, 543 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 3: we are not going to a latitude finance and being 544 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 3: taken advantage of. We are going to maybe talk to 545 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 3: different banks. We might go talk to a broker about Okay, well, 546 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 3: what do personal financing options look like? Banks offer finance 547 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 3: for surgery. This isn't a new concept. Probably haven't heard 548 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 3: of it because not many people talk about it, and 549 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 3: you just think, oh, yeah, asset finance and personal loans, 550 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 3: they're just for cars. But there is going to be 551 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 3: a financing option. Just don't go see a bloody loan shark, 552 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 3: don't put it on and after pay, don't go to 553 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 3: someone who's going to take advantage of you. Let's find 554 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 3: a solution that makes sense. The other thing I would 555 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 3: say is if you're saying you can afford to have 556 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 3: it in a few years, so you said, oh, the 557 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 3: surgery is a few years off, can we make a 558 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 3: savings plan so that we can afford it then, so 559 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 3: that we can start putting money aside. Maybe the money 560 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 3: that you're putting aside is actually salary sacrificed into your 561 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 3: superannuation for a few years so that we get to 562 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 3: take advantage of that tax circumstance, and then we pull 563 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 3: it out for medical reasons. There's lots of things you 564 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 3: can do, but I want you to write down each 565 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 3: plan and write down numbers for each plan and what 566 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 3: that looks like and what's going to make most sense 567 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 3: for you, not just brainstorming and being like, oh, I'd 568 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 3: be most comfortable with X idea. What's also the most 569 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 3: financially viable idea? What actually puts you in the best 570 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 3: place position? And if you're like, oh, the I thought 571 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 3: that this surgery was a couple of years off because 572 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 3: I definitely couldn't afford it, and now I found a 573 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 3: different option because I actually need it asap. Great, let's 574 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 3: do that. Yeah, So no judgment of how it's funded, 575 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 3: just that if we're going to fund this from an 576 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 3: alternative method than just saving for it, are you okay 577 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 3: with it? Is it in line with your values? How 578 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 3: are we creating a plan to not be in that 579 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 3: debt forever, because sometimes we need to take on debt 580 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 3: to live life. Yeah, And I don't think there should 581 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 3: be judgment around that. 582 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 6: You need to live life like as Beck said, your 583 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 6: health is so important and we're sending to you lots 584 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 6: of love as well. 585 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 3: Absolutely, all right, let's move on something you slid into 586 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 3: our DMS about and we're going to make it really 587 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 3: snappy so that you guys get your day back. Hey, lovely, 588 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 3: she's on the money team. I'm looking to buy a 589 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 3: unit on my own and I have a really good deposit. 590 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 3: It's not twenty percent, though, and I'm not eligible for 591 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 3: first home biased concessions due to having had a house 592 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 3: with a previous partner. He brought me out of My 593 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 3: parents have offered to go garrantur for me. I love them, 594 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 3: but they are already quite overbearing, and I worry that 595 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 3: this will mean I won't have as much autonomy over 596 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 3: the house and the decision. It would, however, mean that 597 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 3: I can get into the market sooner and potentially pay 598 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 3: them back or out in a few years when my 599 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 3: property increases in value. Would love some advice from the 600 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 3: community on this, or if anyone has any similar experiences. 601 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 7: Geez, I don't know you need twenty percent to not 602 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 7: have a guaranteur or you like a general no. 603 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 3: She's saying, it's not twenty percent. Like I own a 604 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 3: mortgage breaking business for those of you following along at home, 605 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 3: and we often purchase houses if you don't have any 606 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 3: of the concessions available first time buyers. Let's pretend none 607 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 3: of that's on the table. We often buy with only 608 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 3: a ten percent deposit, So it's not unheard of. Cool, okay, 609 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 3: But a guaranteur would give you a lot more flexibility. 610 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 3: In fact, a guaranteur would mean that she potentially can 611 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 3: get a house without having to spend any deposit, and 612 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 3: then that deposit could go into her offset account and 613 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 3: be a little bit more financially a Kushni. 614 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 7: I see, Okay, Well in that case, god I did okay. Well, 615 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 7: I think and as I always say, and as I 616 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,239 Speaker 7: just said before mental health First, I think, don't like 617 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 7: life is long if you're lucky enough to experience all that. 618 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 7: That's a really intensive thing to say for people who 619 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 7: have not had the fortune of having a long life. 620 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 7: But I think that if you are right now really 621 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,199 Speaker 7: urgently rushing to get into the market, and I understand that, 622 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,479 Speaker 7: you know, housing prices go up and things like that, 623 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 7: the best time to invest is today. But I just 624 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 7: wouldn't put my mental health at risk for that kind 625 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 7: of thing. And I feel like, if you're potentially gonna 626 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 7: have a bad relationship with your parents where it's like 627 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 7: maybe it's gonna get worse, maybe they're really they're really 628 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 7: overbearing already, it seems like so it's like if yeah, 629 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 7: it's just gonna be really unhappy or maybe like really 630 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 7: anxious or something like that, but you're able to get 631 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 7: into the market quicker than I just I would just wait. Personally, 632 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 7: I would wait. I would try and go to a 633 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 7: mortgage broker. I would try and find other ways to 634 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 7: not have to get a guaranteur, just try and do 635 00:28:58,640 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 7: it on my own. 636 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, what are you doing? I'm in agree, man. I 637 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 6: don't know if the hyper independent oldest daughter in me, 638 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 6: but I do not love the idea of anyone having 639 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 6: control over me of the things that I'm doing. And 640 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 6: if that's a concern for you now, I think that 641 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 6: it's very likely that it will come up. Like you've 642 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 6: got your lived experience with your family, You've got like 643 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 6: good visibility and what this might turn into. I personally 644 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 6: think it is worth waiting. I know, on paper, financially 645 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,959 Speaker 6: that might not make the most sense in terms of 646 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 6: lost opportunity in the market, et cetera. But I just 647 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 6: for me personally, I don't love the idea of someone 648 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 6: being able to control you for any reason, whether it 649 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 6: be financially or otherwise. And it's not a risk that 650 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 6: I personally would be willing to take. 651 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 3: Agree, Agree, I think those are very valid. What this 652 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 3: message told me is that you have not spoken to 653 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 3: a mortgage broker. Go and make that your number one priority, 654 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 3: whether you buy or not. Talk about your options, Talk 655 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 3: about what your deposit would get you, Talk about how 656 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 3: much more deposit you would require. I don't know what 657 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 3: you do for work, so I don't know if there 658 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 3: are any concessions for the type of work that you do. 659 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 3: But talk to a broker about that. The second thing 660 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 3: is talk to your parents about it. So obviously this 661 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 3: topic has come up because if you're questioning whether or 662 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 3: not to get them to be a guarantee, you know 663 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 3: that they might be a guaranteur, and whether you accept 664 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 3: that or not completely your decision. But what does that 665 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 3: mean Because you're saying, oh, I could pay them back, 666 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 3: there's actually never an exchange of money, so you don't 667 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 3: actually owe your parents' money at all when they go guaranteur. 668 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 3: When you get a guaranteur, they're putting a caveat over 669 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 3: a pre existing property that they have. That says, if 670 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 3: for some reason, Jessica doesn't pay back her mortgage, we 671 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 3: take responsibility for those payments. And there's a lot of 672 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 3: hoops that you have to go through before your parents 673 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 3: would ever be contacted to pay some of your mortgage. Right, 674 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 3: you'd probably sell the house before that happens, because you 675 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 3: don't want to owe anybody anything. You just told us that. So, yes, 676 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 3: you could do an early release of a guaranteur if 677 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 3: your property increases in value. But I would never rely 678 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 3: on as being the thing that triggers a release of 679 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,479 Speaker 3: a guaranteur, just because we don't know what the property 680 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 3: market's going to do, and I don't want to be like, oh, 681 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 3: we can get rid of the guaranteur in twelve months. Yeah, 682 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 3: because the property market has been increasing, you never know 683 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 3: what's going to happen. We can't predict the markets. As 684 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 3: I've said a million times, I'd be real rich if 685 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 3: we could. But a guaranteur is a lot less controlling, 686 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 3: it's a lot less confronting than them. Lending you money. 687 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 3: That's true. So that's a different story because it doesn't 688 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 3: impact their cash flow, it doesn't impact their day to 689 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 3: day life. And I think it would be a good 690 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 3: conversation between you and your parents, well if you go 691 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 3: guaranteur on my property, what does that mean? And if 692 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 3: they start saying, well you, oh, I see this and 693 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 3: you need to prove this and you need to do that, great, 694 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 3: maybe I'm not interested in that option. But the reality 695 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 3: is it doesn't impact their cash flow, it doesn't impact 696 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 3: their future wealth creation, it doesn't do any of that. 697 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 3: The only real caveat is that they can't sell their 698 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 3: property while there's a caveat on it, because obviously it's 699 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 3: linked to yours. Yeah, but if it's their family Homer, 700 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 3: then planning on selling, it's a different story again because 701 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 3: they're like, well, how does that impact them? So I 702 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 3: want to know what would your parents expect? What types 703 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 3: of strings exist, because often we have people come to 704 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 3: us at Zella and they say, oh, I just I 705 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 3: don't want to ask my parents to do that because 706 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 3: I'll owe them this and that and the other. And 707 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 3: then we go, okay, like, can we explore that because 708 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 3: obviously it's going to if you've got that privilege, it's 709 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 3: going to put you in a better financial position. So 710 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 3: let's just brainstorm it. Maybe we're not even talking to 711 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 3: your parents, but like, let's just brainstorm it between us 712 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 3: and talk about what the options are and how that 713 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 3: could work. And more often than not, we actually have 714 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 3: people going, oh my god, no, this is so I'm 715 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 3: going to ask my parents to do that. You're right, 716 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 3: it is signing a form, it is this, and it's 717 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 3: a responsibility. But I think that a lot of us 718 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 3: assume that there's a big cash outlay or they have 719 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 3: to draw down their mortgage or something and give that 720 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 3: cash to you for your Produit. It's not the way 721 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 3: it works. Yeah, so talk to a mortgage broker, discuss 722 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 3: those scenarios, and go from there. 723 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 6: Whateveryone else think. 724 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 3: So I obviously asked for your two cents. I said, 725 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 3: what would you do if you were our community member? 726 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 3: Forty six percent of you you are my Queen's you 727 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 3: said I'd see a mortgage broker first, perfect twenty seven 728 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 3: percent said I'd accept it short term, no pay, no gain. 729 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 3: Then I'd refinance as soon as I could. Seventeen percent 730 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 3: said take all the help I can get, and ten 731 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 3: percent said no, I'm going to keep control yep. And 732 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 3: then asked, have you had any help from your parents 733 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 3: or another loved one to buy a house? Thirty six 734 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 3: percent of you said yes and it worked out well, 735 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 3: thirty five percent said I bought without any help, twenty 736 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 3: six percent said I haven't bought a property, and three 737 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 3: percent of you said, yeah, it got real messy, which 738 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 3: is really hard, and I want to know more about that. 739 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 3: So maybe we should dive into that. Like if you're 740 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 3: saying you took help from a parent and it got 741 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 3: really messy, I want to know what that means, only 742 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 3: because I haven't personally seen a lot of garrantre situations 743 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 3: turn messy. Yeah, I have when you owe your parents 744 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 3: one hundred grand, Yeah, and they're expecting you to have 745 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 3: another payment plan and then interest rates have increased and 746 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 3: you can't afford your a mortgage and paying back your pet. Like, 747 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,239 Speaker 3: there's been a lot of messy situations like that I've 748 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 3: helped clean up, but there's never been a like quote 749 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 3: messy situation with a guaranteur because it doesn't again impact 750 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 3: their cash flow or yours. I then said, what's your 751 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 3: two cents. First person said, I've seen the effects of 752 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 3: overbearing parents. You cannot put a price on your insanity. 753 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:17,879 Speaker 6: Loll that's my take. 754 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 3: Next person said, bye and accept l am. 755 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 6: I great point. 756 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 3: Another person said, my mum is my guarante for me 757 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 3: two loans, so only tied to fifty thousand dollars. Only 758 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 3: matters if I ever default on the mortgage. It has 759 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 3: never been an issue. Next person said, I'd have a 760 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 3: conversation with my parents about it not impacting our relationship. 761 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 3: First another person said, and I'm only going to do 762 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 3: two more because I could keep going on for ages. 763 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 3: But going guaranteur is very different from them putting money down, 764 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,240 Speaker 3: so I'm not sure how they have any. 765 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 6: Input exactly what you were saying. 766 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 3: Yep. And then someone else said, and I am screaming 767 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 3: this from rooftops. Stop letting your twenty percent deposit mentality 768 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,919 Speaker 3: hold you back. Go get in the market. Go talk 769 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 3: to a broker and work out what is possible. 770 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 5: Yes, amen, you. 771 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 3: Can't talk to us because I'm looking at this going. 772 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 3: I could probably fix that. 773 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, I could probably fix that. 774 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 3: I could probably get you into a property for ten percent. Yeah, 775 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 3: I don't know how much you have right now. But 776 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 3: like ELLEMI is an option, and going guarantee is an option. 777 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 3: And I think that so many people think that guarantey 778 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 3: is so much more scary than it is. Like there's 779 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 3: this other conversation of like, oh, being a guarantee or 780 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 3: having a guarantee is such a privilege and rah rah, 781 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 3: and you know I didn't have it, so therefore you 782 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 3: shouldn't have get in the bin. Like, if you are 783 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,359 Speaker 3: in a position where you can get yourself ahead financially 784 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 3: and someone is willing to give you a leg up, 785 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,879 Speaker 3: take it absolutely, like I just I have so many 786 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 3: thoughts and feelings about that, because yes, the sooner you 787 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 3: get into the property market, the better off you would be. Anyway, 788 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 3: that's it from us. We'll see you bright early on 789 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 3: Monday morning for our money diary.
