I cannot afford it because an it's hourly 503 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 6: parking of like seven dollars an hour, or you go 504 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 6: into a car park which is thirty dollars for the day, 505 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 6: and I was like, I don't have that kind of money, 506 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 6: so I'm just not going to come to the office. 507 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 2: Anyway. 508 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 6: It's not like that here in Melbourne. You can probably 509 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 6: park where you work unless you're in the city, of course, 510 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 6: and most. 511 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 2: Public transport to the office. And then because they're opal 512 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 2: they have opal not my key. 513 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 6: Yeah from memory, I don't know if it's still a thing, 514 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 6: but it's like it's like eight dollars one way peak 515 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 6: hour or something, and I was like I'm not gonna 516 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 6: I can't, you know. I was really also just like 517 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 6: kind of being stubborn, and I was really irritated by 518 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 6: the amount of money everything is. But anyway, so the 519 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 6: day I got paid, I went in and I was like, cool, 520 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 6: I'm going to pay for my parking, but usually you 521 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 6: use your phone. You do like, there's this pay day. 522 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 6: I think we have pays day here and you, you know, 523 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 6: you do your hourly thing. I tried to find the 524 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 6: cheapest one, but it was still more expensive for my phone. 525 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,719 Speaker 6: I was like, why the hell hell is this a 526 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 6: dollar forty more an hour? And I went to the 527 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 6: meter and it was a dollar forty cheaper and I 528 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 6: was like, oh, okay. So I just want to let 529 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 6: everyone know that if you're a little bit broke like 530 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 6: me and you can't afford parking in the city, which 531 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 6: is ridiculous, we should all be able to afford that, 532 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 6: but go to the meta instead and they won't charge 533 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 6: you the GST all this stuff on top of that, which, yeah, 534 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 6: I feel like it's an app, it should be extend. 535 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 2: I feel that would be easier for everybody. Two different prices. 536 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 6: I don't know if it's everywhere, don know if it's 537 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 6: in Melbourne, but in Sydney it is two different prices. 538 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 2: It is more expensive if you use that app. 539 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 6: It's like it does show you the price that shows 540 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 6: you on the Meta, but then it adds a dollar here, 541 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 6: a dollar there, Like. 542 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 2: It's it's crazy. 543 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,719 Speaker 6: I hate that, So pay at the met is all 544 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 6: I want to saying, sorry for that long the long. 545 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 2: But I also that's so annoying and taking advantage of convenience. 546 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 2: Yeah I know. Also sorry, can we just rewind? Have 547 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 2: to pay thirty dollars to park at work? 548 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 6: Yeah? 549 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 2: Crazy? Crazy? Absolutely no sevens an hour? 550 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 6: Like oh no, actually it might have even been eight 551 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 6: dollars from for where I had to park, and it 552 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 6: was like, that's what sixty bucks a day? 553 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 2: Absolutely not ridiculous. Anyway, Sorry, I like that. I like that. 554 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 2: Let's leave that one right there. Let's go to a 555 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: quick break because on the flip side, we're going to 556 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 2: be talking about whether you should take some of your 557 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 2: current monthly savings and start investing them. And I'm kind 558 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 2: of excited to talk about this, but also like, I 559 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 2: want to see what the hell everybody else thinks. You 560 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 2: sleid into our DMS and you asked, what do you 561 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 2: do when your sibling is pressuring you to join them 562 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 2: and going to your parents to ask for your inheritance? 563 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 2: Only sorry, we're going to get to that after this break. 564 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 5: Welcome back, everybody.

Now, let's take a 573 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 7: listen to this week's money dilemma. 574 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 8: So I'm able to say between let's say two fifty 575 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 8: a month or. 576 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 2: Five hundred pounds a month. 577 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 8: But I'm starting to think, actually, should I split that 578 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 8: and do two fifty in investment and two fifty in 579 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 8: savings Because the investment that I'm putting into savings, like, 580 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 8: for example, I'm getting about sixteen pounds a month back 581 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 8: from like savings interest, but I think I could do more. However, 582 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 8: I don't know if investing suits somebody that for example, 583 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 8: the reason why I'm wanting to save money and to 584 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 8: build a bit of a background and to have a 585 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 8: bit of a chunk of money so that we can 586 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 8: have a baby one day, and that we can get 587 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 8: married one day and we can go on holiday and 588 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 8: stuff like that, I'm not necessarily thinking about like retirement 589 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 8: just yet, which is where then I'm thinking do I 590 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 8: then split savings and split investment. But I'm new to investing, 591 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 8: haven't done it, and so I would appreciate any sort 592 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 8: of guidance. 593 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 2: Thank you. That's fun. We've got an international friend. 594 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 4: I love the accent. I wish I sounded like you 595 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 4: sound so polished. Yeah, fancy, what would you guys do? 596 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 4: Jess Well, I think we've said it before. It sound 597 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 4: like a broken record, but you obviously not financial advice. 598 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 4: Different strategies for different people, but you really shouldn't be 599 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 4: investing money that you want to access in a short term. 600 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 4: I think typically VD you recommend between seven and ten years, 601 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 4: do you know to ride out the waves? 602 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 5: Again, obviously not advice. 603 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 4: So I would say it depends on how much you 604 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 4: want to prioritize the different goals. So if you can 605 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 4: afford to put some money into your investments and you 606 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 4: won't need to access it within that time period, then 607 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 4: I would say it's great, because time in the market 608 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 4: is everything, and even if it's a small little amount now, 609 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 4: it's much better than nothing. But if you don't have 610 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 4: a lot of fla spility in your budget, which I 611 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 4: know a lot of us don't at the moment, particularly 612 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 4: with big life events like kids and weddings and holidays. 613 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 4: Then it might be smarter, even though it might not 614 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 4: maximize your returns. It may be better for you to 615 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 4: pop it in, say things where you know you can 616 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,479 Speaker 4: access it, you know, whenever you decide you want to 617 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 4: start chasing after those goals. 618 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to say a similar thing. 619 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 6: There are like, you know, other things that are you know, 620 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 6: like term deposits and things where you have more control over, 621 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 6: Like say you just want to do like one year 622 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 6: at I mean, I think this is generally the amount. 623 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 6: It's like five percent interest, So it's not nothing crazy, 624 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 6: but it's like at least it feels like, you know, 625 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 6: it's like guaranteed and then you can access that amount 626 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 6: of money after a certain time. It's just like locked away. 627 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 6: You are getting interest, and I feel like, I can't 628 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 6: say guaranteed, but it is guaranteed, right if it's a 629 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 6: term deposit for like four point nine. 630 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 2: Five ye, yeah, for the period of time that it 631 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 2: would be agreed to terms and conditions. It would be 632 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 2: like for the next twelve months or whatever. Yeah. 633 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, So it's like a definite like if you put 634 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 6: in an investment, you put your money in like you know, 635 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 6: shares or or whatever it is, and you may return 636 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 6: five percent, you may even lose or make or whatever 637 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 6: it is, but it just kind of feels more like secure, 638 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 6: more like and then you can figure out how much 639 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 6: you'll have at the end of the year. I would 640 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 6: probably do that if I had like that kind of money. 641 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,360 Speaker 2: I think it's a really good thing that you're considering 642 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 2: investing because you just told me that you want to 643 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 2: have a baby, and you want to you know, get 644 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 2: married and do all these things, which fantastic. They do 645 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 2: require savings, but you just told me you want to 646 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 2: build a life with somebody. You told me that you 647 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 2: want to like put down your roots and like settle 648 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 2: with them and be financially stable and financially confident. And 649 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 2: to me, that means that you would have a good 650 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 2: financial backing. And yes, you might not be able to 651 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 2: pull all that money out, and when we say not 652 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 2: able to you absolutely can. And I always say invest 653 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 2: for a minimum of ten years ish, like seven to 654 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 2: ten in a perfect world, because that's when compound interests 655 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 2: really starts. To kick in and things get real magic. 656 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 2: It's not because you're not going to make money in 657 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 2: the short term, like you will. It will be more 658 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 2: than your usually more than your savings account will. But also, 659 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 2: what if the market goes down a little bit, Like 660 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 2: you don't want to be in a sticky situation where 661 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 2: you're like, yep, I'm saving for a house and I've 662 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 2: popped all of my money into my investment account. I'm 663 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 2: going to buy in the next twelve months. And then 664 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 2: you're so excited because you've got the right amount of money, 665 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 2: and then the market dips a bit and you've lost 666 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 2: like ten percent of your deposit and you're like, well, 667 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 2: now I've lost ten percent of my deposit. You haven't 668 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 2: actually lost it. It's just worthless at the moment. And 669 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 2: what I would say is you need to ride the 670 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 2: market out until it recovers. But like we do see 671 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 2: a lot of people because like, let's be honest, it's 672 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. It doesn't take one or two years 673 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,719 Speaker 2: to save the house deposit. Most of the people in 674 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 2: our community it's seven to ten years saving anyway, like 675 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 2: that could become part of your strategy. It could become 676 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 2: part of the plan. Does that mean that you put 677 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 2: all the money in investing? Absolutely not. It sounds like 678 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 2: you've got some big life goals that are going to 679 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 2: require some cash. But to give you a little bit 680 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 2: of perspective, if you like, took and I've done this 681 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 2: in pounds, but the same is convertible for our dollars. 682 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 2: But if you took like two hundred pounds, which I 683 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 2: think makes sense given the numbers you gave us, and 684 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 2: you just kept saving that after twenty years, that two 685 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 2: hundred pounds is worth forty eight thousand pounds, right, But 686 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 2: if you had invested it, you actually would have one 687 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty three thousand pounds. So I think the 688 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 2: difference there. If you're having kids and you are going 689 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 2: to be, you know, getting married, do you want that 690 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 2: marriage to have a solid base like in ten twenty years? 691 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 2: Like do you want to have kids in Like, let's 692 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 2: pretend like everything goes really smoothly, whack out some kids. 693 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 2: Everything is good in twenty years, Like, let's pretend kids 694 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 2: are a few years off, you've got late teenagers, Like 695 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 2: do you want that financial security when that happens? Like, 696 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 2: I know that these aren't sexy things to talk about. 697 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 2: But I just know if I've got teenagers, of course 698 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 2: I want a level of financial security. And yes, my 699 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 2: wedding is really exciting, and you know, being able to 700 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 2: have a baby is exciting, but like the financial security 701 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 2: aspect I feel like is really it makes me feel 702 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 2: very safe. So like, yes, I would be considering investing, 703 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 2: but like, do your risk profile work out what would 704 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 2: work for you? And I mean the fact that you're 705 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 2: listening to Sheese on the Money and you're asking that 706 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 2: question probably means you're ready to take the leap. And 707 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 2: we have a whole investing series that you could listen 708 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 2: to to work out like what the best investment for 709 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 2: you is and how to invest in like what that 710 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 2: might look like, because I've said it before on the 711 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 2: podcast and it can feel a bit disheartening. But if 712 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 2: you are not investing your money over the long term, 713 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 2: you're going backwards, like you are losing money because the 714 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 2: rate of inflation is higher than the rate you will 715 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 2: ever get on your savings account. So if you think, oh, 716 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 2: but it's okay, I'm getting a little bit that's so sexy, 717 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 2: but you're also paying tax on that sixteen pounds that 718 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 2: you're you're getting every single month because that's an income 719 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 2: coming in and all income is taxable. So it's just 720 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 2: it feels a little bit or I often feel like 721 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 2: people can feel a bit defeated when I start going, well, 722 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,719 Speaker 2: actually it's not as good as you think it is, 723 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 2: Whereas inside an investment you're going to be a little 724 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 2: bit stronger, a little bit better off, you know, I 725 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,479 Speaker 2: mean shameless plug.

Like this is the step by step playbook. 734 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 2: All right, let's get into our DM. Are you guys ready? 735 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 2: I feel like this is going to be a little 736 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 2: bit spicy. Hey, she's on the money. So my parents 737 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 2: are selling their house to downsize. They're really financially comfortable, 738 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 2: had a planner for years, totally set themselves up. Although 739 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,239 Speaker 2: we have never directly spoken about it, and I am 740 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 2: assuming there is going to be some sort of sizeable inheritance. 741 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 2: My brother has now started to push that we all 742 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 2: banned together and ask for our inheritance early. He's sending 743 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,959 Speaker 2: group text about how it just makes sense and how 744 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 2: we're all struggling with mortgages and debts, so why not 745 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 2: make life easier while they're still around to see us 746 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 2: enjoy it. I get it logically, but every time he 747 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 2: brings it up, I feel sick like they haven't even 748 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 2: hinted at this, and asking feels like I'm fast forwarding 749 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 2: their lives or something. My brother won't stop pushing, and 750 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 2: I don't know what to do. What would you do? 751 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 7: Mmm? 752 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 6: I think, like I know this because I'm crazy, but 753 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 6: I can kind of understand a little bit because I 754 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 6: feel like, you know, for example, I don't think i'll 755 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 6: have much of an inheritance, but if I had parents 756 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 6: who were like really really well off, and I knew that, 757 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 6: like there was quite a big, you know, sum of 758 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 6: money that could be coming my way if in the 759 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 6: unfortunate event of their passing. But I think if I 760 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 6: was currently struggling and I knew that, like, oh maybe 761 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,959 Speaker 6: in twenty thirty years, I'll be Okay. I'd be like, well, 762 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 6: that's a big chunk of my life where I'm going 763 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,240 Speaker 6: to be struggling and then I'm going to thrive at sixty, 764 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 6: you know what I mean. Like and like on the 765 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 6: flip side, it's like, thank god, my parents will live 766 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 6: till I'm sixty. You know, that would be amazing. So 767 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 6: it's a really funny one that it has. It's I 768 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 6: feel you feel really insensitive saying that, because it's like 769 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 6: you would feel blessed to know that the longer you 770 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 6: don't get. 771 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 2: Your inheritance, that is a blessing. 772 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 6: It's like, great that everyone's happy and healthy and this 773 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:48,280 Speaker 6: is amazing, really bad saying that, But to some extent, 774 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 6: I feel like, yes, well if we take the word 775 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 6: inheritance out of it, and it's just like you have 776 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 6: the capacity to help me, and like, you know, they 777 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 6: don't know that for sure, But if I knew that 778 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 6: someone had the capacity to help, my parents had the 779 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 6: capacity to help, and they had inten they intend to 780 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 6: help me after their natural life, I would be like, okay, 781 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 6: can you give me a little bit right now? I 782 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 6: understand that thought process. Weirdly, but I would then not 783 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 6: call it an inheritance. I would be like, hey, if 784 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 6: you look at it like this, some of us are 785 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 6: struggling right now. If you can help us right now, cool. 786 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 6: If you can't, that's okay, and we'll just like see 787 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 6: how we go, you know. But yeah, I think that's 788 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 6: not Honestly, the main thing for me is the terminology 789 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 6: around it is that, like, I just wouldn't be calling 790 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 6: it an inheritance anymore because that it really doesn't make 791 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 6: it quite morbid. I would just be calling it like 792 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 6: some money that you've put aside for us, like give 793 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,839 Speaker 6: it to me right now, please, Like a little bit 794 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,399 Speaker 6: would be nice, particularly if you're struggling and they can 795 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 6: see that. But that's honestly, so I know it's probably 796 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 6: really bad to say, but that's kind of I kind 797 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 6: of get it. 798 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 4: Just I don't know if it's because I was raised, 799 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,720 Speaker 4: you know, in a family where obviously we weren't wealthy 800 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 4: by any stretch of the imagination. There wasn't a lot 801 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 4: of money to go around, Like I understand it from 802 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 4: a logical perspective. 803 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,280 Speaker 5: I've never and I don't. 804 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 4: Think I ever will operate on the assumption that I 805 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 4: will be receiving an inheritance or any kind of money, 806 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 4: like if I was to it would be a lovely surprise, 807 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 4: But my future planning for myself has never assumed that 808 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 4: I will receive anything, and obviously there's more complications you know, 809 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 4: for me personally in that situation. But I think that 810 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 4: it's an interesting concept because I understand, you know, we 811 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 4: talk about future planning for our families one day, and 812 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 4: of course wanting to set up so that we can 813 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 4: look after our families should we choose to have them. 814 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 4: But at the same time, I also think that for 815 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 4: a lot of people, you know, your retirement is what 816 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 4: you're saving for. So it could be that, yes, maybe 817 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 4: your parents do have a cash surplus or an asset surplus, 818 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 4: particularly after downsizing, but have they lived their whole lives 819 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 4: thinking when we retire, we're going to finally see the 820 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 4: world together. I feel like that's a really common thing 821 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,839 Speaker 4: people want to do, is they want to travel once 822 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 4: they've retired and once they've got the money, or they 823 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 4: want to maybe knock something off their bucket list or 824 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 4: do whatever they might have planned for that money, and 825 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 4: you're not accounting for that. 826 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 2: It's also none of your business. Sorry, yeah, it's not. 827 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 4: I I understand the thought process of like, well, one 828 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 4: day when they're no longer there theoretically, but also they 829 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 4: might have chosen to donate their money and assets to charity. 830 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, don't into those dogs home, sorry, Harvey. Like if 831 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,840 Speaker 2: you came to me for an inheritance early. 832 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 5: Yeah, you just don't know. 833 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 4: And to me, it does not feel appropriate at all. 834 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 4: And again I don't know if that's me putting my 835 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 4: own personal lens over that. I think, if anything, you 836 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 4: could go to them and say, hey, if you are 837 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 4: really struggling and it sounds like our listener perhaps isn't 838 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 4: in the position where they want to do this, but 839 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 4: maybe you could suggest it to your siblings. Talk to 840 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 4: your parents about an interest free loan if they have 841 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 4: the capacity to do that to assist you, or even 842 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 4: just talking to them about the situation that they're in 843 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 4: and the financial pressures that they're feeling. And then if 844 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 4: they have the money and that's something they want to do, 845 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 4: they may offer and say, you know, can we help 846 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 4: you out, We would like to help you out, whatever. 847 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 4: But I think that the expectation it goes beyond being morbid. 848 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 5: I think it's just quite presumptuous. 849 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 2: I think it's so disrespectful. I'm like sitting here like 850 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 2: bashing my tongue because I feel like it goes against 851 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 2: every moral code that I have. It goes against the 852 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 2: fact that it just doesn't feel like you're grateful. It 853 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 2: doesn't feel like you're respectful. It doesn't feel like you 854 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 2: are ordering their independence. And like I could say to you, 855 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 2: they have a million dollar portfolio and the house is 856 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 2: fully paid off, but like that million dollar portfolio is 857 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,320 Speaker 2: probably only generating and I say only, but like generating 858 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 2: a sixty thousand dollar income for them each and every 859 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 2: single year. And the assets that they have, like having 860 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 2: more than four hundred and seventy thousand dollars here in 861 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 2: Australia means that your pension starts to get impacted. So 862 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 2: they probably and like with a million dollars of like 863 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 2: super and a million dollars of investments, they're not going 864 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 2: to be able to access a pension, right, So like 865 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 2: that money might be generating the money that they're leaving off, 866 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 2: and yeah, they might for them to go. Yet, like 867 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 2: even if hypothetically you knew that they were sitting on 868 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:21,280 Speaker 2: a couple of million dollars. You don't know what that's for. Also, 869 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 2: it's none of your business, Like just because they have 870 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 2: a planner doesn't mean they're millionaires. Maybe they have a 871 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 2: planner because secretly they went bankrupt and they needed to 872 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 2: find a way to get around the fact that, you know, 873 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 2: they were never going to be able to financially recover 874 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,839 Speaker 2: from something. Do you know what I mean? Like, yeah, 875 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,359 Speaker 2: it's actually none of your business. It's kind of like 876 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 2: I don't know. It's like, Jess, if you and I 877 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 2: held a joint birthday party and then somebody was invited 878 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 2: to the birthday party and they come over and our 879 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 2: beautiful birthday cake that you and I would have decorated 880 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 2: so well as sitting on the table, and they go 881 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 2: and take a slice before we've even had a chance 882 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 2: to put the candles on and blow it out. Like 883 00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 2: you wouldn't do that, would you? Like that's rude, that's 884 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 2: not yours for the taking. And I like the idea 885 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 2: about an interest free loan, like being like, oh, hey, 886 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 2: is there any way I could xyz? Like, but you 887 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 2: do not like the assumption that an inheritance is yours 888 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 2: is bullshit, Like I just hate that idea and anybody 889 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 2: I know, and like, I feel like this is a 890 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,439 Speaker 2: good time to remind everybody that when I worked in 891 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 2: financial advice, a lot of my clients were dealing with 892 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 2: very big inheritances because I would get a lot of 893 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 2: millennial women who unfortunately had lost a parent, and that 894 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 2: is the shittiest situation to go through. Every single one 895 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 2: of my clients that are in like that was in 896 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 2: that situation, I'm still in contact with because I feel 897 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 2: like you bond in a way over that experience. Every 898 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,319 Speaker 2: single one of them I can guarantee would prefer their 899 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 2: parent back or their guardian back then the money. Like 900 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 2: it's not like it's not even up for debate. I 901 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 2: just I think it just goes against everything in me. 902 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 2: And it feels gross because you're flipping a love and 903 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 2: caring relationship into something transactional, like you're seeing them as 904 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 2: a tool, and like I just find that gross. And 905 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 2: like Jesse you were saying before, oh, like you know, 906 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,840 Speaker 2: they've spent their whole lives building this and like you know, 907 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 2: we talk about it all the time. I do want 908 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,280 Speaker 2: to build a legacy. I do want to put myself 909 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 2: in a financial position that I'm able to help my 910 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,399 Speaker 2: son when he wants to purchase a home, like when 911 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 2: I have multiple kids. Hopefully one day I would love 912 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 2: to be able to like financially support them so that 913 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,440 Speaker 2: they never experience the financial stress that I did. Like 914 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 2: how special would that be? But I'm telling you right now, 915 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 2: they would get nothing from me if I didn't feel 916 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 2: like they were grateful. They would get nothing from me 917 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,840 Speaker 2: if I didn't feel like that was you know, anything 918 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,439 Speaker 2: other than care and love and support. That's where it's 919 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,319 Speaker 2: coming from. So the fact that you're like, oh, well 920 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,440 Speaker 2: they've got this money and they've never mentioned giving it 921 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 2: to us, I just it feels wrong. And like the 922 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 2: idea that inheritance is deeply tied to mortality, like how 923 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,799 Speaker 2: long your parents going to live? Then, well you don't 924 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 2: know exactly. Are they going to live to a lady 925 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 2: a hundred? Are they going to live to one fifty somehow? 926 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 2: Like you don't know anything, And I just I find 927 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 2: it really gross because also, financial freedom is something that 928 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 2: if you have worked so hard to get there too, 929 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 2: just having it in the bank is that security blanket 930 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:30,759 Speaker 2: that means, you know, what if one of my kids 931 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,720 Speaker 2: couldn't afford their mortgage or payments that they have signed 932 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 2: up to. I could help them out, but I'm not 933 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 2: going to go pay off their mortgages just because I 934 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,839 Speaker 2: have the cash in the bank and what operate at 935 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,880 Speaker 2: like zero again, like they haven't come this far to 936 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 2: only come this far and then go week to week 937 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 2: in retirement like absolutely not absolutely, Like I just find 938 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,359 Speaker 2: it quite gross. Yeah, And I'm probably a little bit 939 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 2: more opinionated on that than you probably expected, because I'd 940 00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,720 Speaker 2: be like, oh, yes, what a good like open conversation 941 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 2: about money, Like no, there's no gratitude there, there's no expectation. 942 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 2: So I think that the person who's asked this question 943 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 2: is absolutely right to not feel like that's the right 944 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 2: thing to do, and that your brothers maybe getting a 945 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 2: bit ahead of themselves. Like anytime I've ever done financial 946 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 2: advice for a client, especially a younger client, we don't 947 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,279 Speaker 2: even talk about their parents, Like, yeah, never have I 948 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,799 Speaker 2: written a financial plan that takes into consideration a potential 949 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,760 Speaker 2: like inheritance. 950 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 4: Because I think most parents would want to put their 951 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 4: kids in the position where they can look after them. 952 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 4: I totally get what you were saying back about if 953 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 4: it was available and you were really struggling, like it 954 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 4: would as the child be so much perhaps more beneficial 955 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 4: to receive sooner than later. But also I think like 956 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,919 Speaker 4: the parents, if that's within their means and they could 957 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 4: see that someone was struggling, I think they probably would 958 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 4: want to step in instinctively anyway, which is where I think, 959 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 4: you know, it's maybe the brother can have a conversation 960 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,239 Speaker 4: in we don't know the semantics of oh my god, 961 00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 4: maybe he can't pay your we don't all need yeah, 962 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 4: but we don't all need to go to our parents. 963 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 2: To ask for this. 964 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:02,680 Speaker 5: No, no, no no. 965 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 2: And like I've seen situations where I've had a client 966 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,799 Speaker 2: come to me and be like, oh my god, you know, 967 00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 2: my mom has decided to gift all the kids, like 968 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 2: four kids and deposit amount like twenty thousand dollars each, 969 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,319 Speaker 2: but she really doesn't have the financial means to do that. 970 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 2: She's got it in the bank, but like it's going 971 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,400 Speaker 2: to stretch her, Like we absolutely shouldn't be doing this 972 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,319 Speaker 2: with her. But my siblings are like they really want 973 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 2: to take it. Like my sister and I we think 974 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,799 Speaker 2: that's bullshit, but the other two they want to take it. 975 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 2: So like in those situations, There's literally been times where 976 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 2: I have worked with clients to set up a separate 977 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 2: bank account for that money to be deposited into so 978 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 2: that like small amounts of savings, like returns can be 979 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,360 Speaker 2: made and that money sitting there for when mum decides that, 980 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,879 Speaker 2: oh that was a really bad idea, like I'm in 981 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 2: financial stress, and the other two can be like, right, well, 982 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 2: here's that money back. But they didn't want to not 983 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 2: take it, because otherwise the other siblings would have been like, oh, 984 00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 2: well we'll have the rest yeah, which it's money. 985 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,759 Speaker 5: Yeah, And it's very complicated, especially family, and. 986 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,800 Speaker 2: Such a level of entitlement that makes me feel really gross. 987 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,399 Speaker 5: What did everybody else say? Oh? 988 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 1: Girl? 989 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,440 Speaker 2: So we asked a few questions. First, we said, do 990 00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,320 Speaker 2: you think asking for an inheritance early crosses a line? 991 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,880 Speaker 2: Eighty seven percent of you said yep, it gives me 992 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 2: the ick, and thirteen percent said no, it's a fair discussion. 993 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 2: Next question was would you join your siblings push to 994 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,360 Speaker 2: ask for an inheritance early? And ninety percent of you 995 00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,880 Speaker 2: said no, couldn't bring myself to do it, six percent 996 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,359 Speaker 2: said in this economy, I would, and four percent said yes, 997 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 2: better to enjoy it. While they're here. We then obviously said, 998 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,880 Speaker 2: give us your two cents. What do you reckon? First 999 00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,920 Speaker 2: person said, let the brother ask alone. If it's so 1000 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 2: important to him, I agree. Next person said, my grandma's 1001 00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,399 Speaker 2: actually one hundred and three still needs money to live. 1002 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,280 Speaker 2: Good aged care ain't cheap. 1003 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:51,720 Speaker 5: That's so true. 1004 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:52,400 Speaker 2: You just don't know. 1005 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,239 Speaker 4: Medical expenses at that age can come up suddenly and 1006 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:56,600 Speaker 4: be really high. 1007 00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:00,480 Speaker 2: Exactly. Like, also, good aged care absolutely is cheap. But 1008 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:04,759 Speaker 2: if I have worked my entire life to create this 1009 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,480 Speaker 2: investment fund so that I can financially support myself, you 1010 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,759 Speaker 2: best believe I'm choosing the nice option at the end, 1011 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 2: like I want to go to the beautiful retirement village 1012 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,879 Speaker 2: if I can afford it, Like, yeah, I really, hebe. 1013 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,400 Speaker 2: I'm spending your inheritance if I can, Like, I'm so sorry. 1014 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,920 Speaker 2: Like whenever my parents plan a holiday, they always joke 1015 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,920 Speaker 2: They're like, haha, we're off to spend your inheritance, and 1016 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,400 Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, get it. Queens, enjoy it. You should 1017 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,920 Speaker 2: be enjoying retirement like you should be enjoying your life. 1018 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,840 Speaker 2: Next person said, they're downsizing and adding the excess to 1019 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,279 Speaker 2: super so that they can live, which is so true. 1020 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 2: Lots of people don't just downsize because they're like, oh, 1021 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:44,399 Speaker 2: the house is too big. They downsize to get some 1022 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 2: cash out so that they can put it into their 1023 00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 2: investments so that they're able to live. It's a very 1024 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:54,400 Speaker 2: valid investment strategy. Like, you don't know why they're downsizing. Yes, 1025 00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 2: the house could feel cold and empty and massive, but 1026 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 2: it also could have been all of their life going 1027 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 2: into the house and now they need to sell it 1028 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:03,320 Speaker 2: to be able to retire. 1029 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:03,759 Speaker 7: Ah. 1030 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 2: Someone said, my dad passed away, mum gave us inheritance 1031 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,440 Speaker 2: after selling the house. She's now put herself in a 1032 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 2: shit situation. Oh really, which is so nice that she 1033 00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,240 Speaker 2: wanted to help you. But that's what good financial planning 1034 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 2: is about. Just because you have the cash there doesn't 1035 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:20,880 Speaker 2: mean it's for that. 1036 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:21,840 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1037 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,879 Speaker 2: Next person said he's going about it the wrong way. 1038 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,560 Speaker 2: Why not politely ask them for financial help, which you 1039 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,839 Speaker 2: know you guys came up with before. Next person said, 1040 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 2: my husband's aunt did this for her three daughters. It 1041 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:39,200 Speaker 2: helped mortgages, private school fees, etc. That's great, but can 1042 00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,480 Speaker 2: I assume that it was your husband's aunt who made 1043 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 2: the choice to have that conversation and sit them down 1044 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,920 Speaker 2: and be like, hey, Harvey, we are sitting on a 1045 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,719 Speaker 2: number of dollars and we would love to be able 1046 00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 2: to help you, to put you in a best possible position. 1047 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 2: Next person, and I've just got two more for you, 1048 00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,320 Speaker 2: said her brother is stepping over the line. If he's struggling, 1049 00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,560 Speaker 2: then he should be asking for help, not an inheritance. 1050 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 2: And the last person said, what about their goals, their hopes, 1051 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 2: and their dreams outside of you? Are you even having 1052 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,960 Speaker 2: that conversation? Do you even know what your parents want? Yeah? 1053 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,040 Speaker 5: Totally, that's such a good take. 1054 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:16,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just TLDR. I feel like that gives me 1055 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 2: the ick because it's just like laced with entitlement to me. Yes, 1056 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 2: you're not entitled to anybody's retirements. No, absolutely not, and 1057 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:28,000 Speaker 2: if they extend that to you, fantastic. But I also 1058 00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,560 Speaker 2: think if you're listening to this podcast, I'm assuming you're 1059 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 2: relatively financially literate, or you're getting there, or you're on 1060 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 2: the journey, like it is actually a responsibility to make 1061 00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:39,839 Speaker 2: sure that your family is And this is just from 1062 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,359 Speaker 2: my perspective, your family is financially okay. And I mean 1063 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,920 Speaker 2: if my parents turned around and said Victoria would love 1064 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,319 Speaker 2: to x y Z. I think one of my first 1065 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,759 Speaker 2: questions would be, like, well, what impact does that have 1066 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,520 Speaker 2: on you? Like fantastic, that's so cool? Like oh my god, 1067 00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:57,560 Speaker 2: of course, like maybe, but like what does your retirement 1068 00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,960 Speaker 2: look like? Then? What does your bank account look like? There? 1069 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 2: And do you still have a mortgage? You still have this? 1070 00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:02,840 Speaker 2: Like do you know what I mean? I want to 1071 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 2: ask a million questions, and I think that the more 1072 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,160 Speaker 2: financially literate we are, the more we can support our community, 1073 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,320 Speaker 2: the more we can support our family and our friends. 1074 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,759 Speaker 2: And those are valid questions because even though you'd be 1075 00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 2: in a better position, not asking those questions is basically 1076 00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,920 Speaker 2: taking advantage of the situation. Gorgeous words. It's a bit, 1077 00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,279 Speaker 2: isn't it. Yeah, I see what you're saying. 1078 00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:27,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, I do see what you're saying now, yes. 1079 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:30,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, Anyway, it has been good.
