What do you want to do first? 43 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 4: I think so I feel like we normally start with 44 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 4: a little catch up with the goal? 45 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: Should we talk? I told them all about how I 46 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: wrote a book. 47 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 4: I mean, have you been doing anything else? Okay, so 48 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 4: what have we been doing? Wedding planning? 49 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: Oh? 50 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: I don't really want to talk about that because I 51 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 2: blew out my budgets. 52 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 4: We yeah, we're getting a lot of requests from people saying, oh, 53 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 4: we'd really like some wedding content about how to stay 54 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 4: on track with your budget. And I'm like, you are 55 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 4: talking to the wrong lady. 56 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: Do you guys know why it hasn't come out yet? 57 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 2: Read between the lines? Mm hm, So I guess we 58 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 2: can talk about wedding planning. Yeah. It's really hard and 59 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 2: it's also really expensive. So I thought I was a 60 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 2: genius Jess. As you know, I've got a few tickets 61 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: on myself when it comes to budget and cash flow. 62 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: And as a financial advisor who had advised a lot 63 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: of clients during the process of creating wedding budgets and 64 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 2: watched them go over and go gone, Who's come on? 65 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 2: We talked about this now, I'm like, oh, I can 66 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: see how it feels like I get it. It just 67 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 2: it sucks. But it's genuinely so much more expensive than 68 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 2: I had anticipated. I mean, doesn't make it better if 69 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: I tell you to lines to my values? Is that better? 70 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 4: I feel like that's your get out of jail free cards. 71 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 4: It's everyone's to get out of jail free card. 72 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: But look, it's been really fun and we are actually 73 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 2: five and a half weeks away from my wedding, which 74 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: is very exciting. 75 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 4: I run a clause I didn't do it, yet you 76 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 4: also didn't do anything he proposed to you, and you're 77 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 4: getting around of applause. 78 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. I am that good. But no, 79 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 2: it's been really fun. It's been pretty hectic the planning 80 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: side of things. I obviously have a gorgeous team who 81 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 2: has been helping pick things and organize things that remind 82 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 2: me that you need things like matching pajamas. Not need, 83 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: but like Jess is like, you're going to be upset 84 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 2: if you were in that T shirt that you wore yesterday. 85 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: But we've been pretty busy, Jesse. We just got back 86 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 2: from America. 87 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. Yes, we went to finn Con, which 88 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 4: is finance Con. Sounds so boring, as someone who did 89 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 4: not study finance was not super thrilled to hear we 90 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 4: would be attending it. 91 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 2: First, I did lure in though. I was like, all right, 92 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: we're going to go to fin Con. She's like, oh, 93 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 2: maybe maybe just to save budget, like you just go 94 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 2: and I was like, I'll dig you to disney World. 95 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 3: Sold. 96 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 2: So we took just to Disney World before we did 97 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: fin Con. But did you enjoy it? 98 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 4: It was actually very fun. I think I forget because 99 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 4: we spend so much time in this community and we 100 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 4: talk like I talk about money every day, which is 101 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 4: someone who, like I said, I don't have a financy background. 102 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 4: I'm just a normal gal. That at first was very 103 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 4: strange for me, and it became very normal, and I 104 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 4: didn't realize how much that adds to my life. Like 105 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 4: in the community every day in the Facebook group or 106 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 4: on Instagram or wherever we're kind of hanging out with 107 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,119 Speaker 4: you guys, we're having these conversations about our journeys, about 108 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 4: my house, about your wedding, about your journeys, about paying 109 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 4: off your debt or your buying our pay later, or 110 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 4: reaching a goal, getting a raise. And I didn't realize, 111 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 4: I think, because I took it a little bit for granted, 112 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 4: how much I enjoy that. And so we spent some 113 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 4: time with some other podcasters, the Mindlinnial Money team and 114 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 4: the Girls That Invest team who we adore, as well 115 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 4: as a whole heap of other people from the US 116 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 4: and from all over the world who work kind of 117 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 4: in the same space as us, and I was just 118 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 4: I left with a very full cup because it was 119 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 4: really nice to be around people who care about what 120 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 4: we care about. 121 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 2: I actually felt like it was one of those things 122 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 2: where I was really hyping this up. Guys. I was like, oh, 123 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 2: shin con this is sick. I've never been because I've 124 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: never been able to afford it. It's a content creator's hut, right, 125 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 2: and we create finance content and as you go, I 126 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 2: probably already know there's not that many people in Australia 127 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: who do that. In fact, when I started it, it 128 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 2: was like not cool. It was so not cool that 129 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 2: I created a fake Facebook to comment on the Facebook 130 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: group posts so that I didn't look like nobody was 131 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 2: commenting on my Facebook group posts. I'd be like, hey, guys, 132 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 2: hot tip about superannuation and then some girl called. 133 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 3: Ella would be like, wow, I love. 134 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: Thanks, Ella. So when I started it really wasn't a thing, 135 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 2: and like I genuinely felt like people needed that information, 136 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 2: but I was also like, I don't know how to 137 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 2: make this approachable, and like, let's be honest, we see 138 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 2: safety in numbers, Like you see that she's on the 139 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 2: money community now and you're like, okay, cool, Like it 140 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 2: must be okay, Like there are so many people following it, 141 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 2: so she must know something about something. But when there 142 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: were seventeen people in my group and I'm trying to 143 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 2: convince them to publicly comment on a post about super Like, 144 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 2: it wasn't gonna happen. Ella needed to pull some things in. 145 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 3: So it's an. 146 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 2: Interesting, I guess journey, especially because looking at America, everything's 147 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 2: bigger there, right Like you expect you're going to go 148 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 2: and you're going to see bigger, better communities. You're going 149 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 2: to see content that is absolutely mind blowing and ideas 150 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 2: that I'm going to come home with and be able 151 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 2: to nourish our community with. And we definitely have come 152 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: back with that. But I think the thing that I 153 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: didn't realize. I knew all along that our community was 154 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 2: incredibly special. As I said before, we're basically best friends. 155 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 2: But what I didn't find at fin Coom was anything 156 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 2: like that. And I was like, what, like oh, so 157 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: you've got followers on TikTok. They're like yeah, And I'm like, like, 158 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: how often do you talk to them? They're like, oh no, 159 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: they don't DM me, Like, oh, my best friends dam 160 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 2: me all the time. Like they DM me when there 161 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: is cheap oat milk, they DM me when they see 162 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 2: coffee shop drama on the internet. They d me literally 163 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: all the time. Like you guys interact with me in 164 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,559 Speaker 2: the best way.

It should we move along from 337 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 4: the ad though, and talk a little bit more about 338 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 4: your favorite thing in the entire world apart from me, 339 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 4: apart from Lucy, I was literally just a hard to say, 340 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 4: apart wedding content and Pinterest sports also no, oh, investing. 341 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: Oh that is actually my favorite thing, the thing that 342 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 2: you wrote an entire book about. Yeah, I was bullied 343 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 2: into it by you guys. Cheers. No, Genuinely, I'm really 344 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 2: excited about this because I feel like, one, it wasn't 345 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 2: hard to sell, like, hey, guys, you literally asked for this. 346 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 2: Take it. But also I'm just I feel like it's 347 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 2: so special that we have literally, I mean, there are 348 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 2: a few men and there are a few people in 349 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 2: this room that you know, might go, why am I here? 350 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 2: My partner dragged me along. 351 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 4: I can fear a couple in the front row looking 352 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 4: not silly, I'm looking at you. 353 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see you. 354 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. 355 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 2: But I also had a few dms from people that 356 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 2: are like, ha bringing my partner or ha ha ha. 357 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 2: So as a president, I bought tickets for my friend 358 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 2: Loki because she needed to come and she won't listen 359 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 2: to the podcast. Who was that? 360 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 3: No it you? 361 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 2: Okay? So talking about the book though, I just feel 362 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,719 Speaker 2: like it's really powerful to have a literal room of 363 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 2: people who not only want to learn about investing, but 364 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 2: are probably discovering it for one of the first times 365 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 2: in a way that you don't feel turned off. You 366 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 2: feel like, oh, this maybe is for me, This maybe 367 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 2: is my space, This maybe is the thing that is 368 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 2: going to help me create the financial stability and freedom 369 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 2: that I deserve and you all deserve it. And it's 370 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 2: kind of like this gift that I haven't been able 371 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 2: to get into your hands prior to now. It is 372 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 2: really hard absorbing audio content and remembering it and writing 373 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 2: it down. There is a marketing term, not that it's 374 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 2: related to my book, but you need to be exposed 375 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 2: to marketing advertising a minimum of seven times before you 376 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 2: actually buy that product. And if you look at that 377 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 2: in the same way that you would look at investing content, 378 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 2: that means I have to tell you the same thing 379 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 2: seven different times before you genuinely understand that concept. And 380 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 2: it's not because you're silly, it's not because you don't 381 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 2: get it. It's just because that's how human brains work. 382 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 2: We are really linear. We are actually fight or flight creatures. 383 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 2: And if you absorb some information that your brain's like, 384 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 2: that's not important. I'm just going to chuck it out 385 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 2: for now, why would you keep it because it hasn't 386 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 2: been made a priority. So this exposure of seven times 387 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 2: really makes sense. But it's hard in an audio context 388 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 2: to give that to you. And I genuinely feel like 389 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 2: it's a gift to be like here it is like 390 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 2: you can see it, you can touch it, you can 391 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 2: you know, put the book on your bedside table because 392 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 2: we made it super aesthetic so you look really nice. 393 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 2: Thanks Eizy for making me choose that cover. But it's 394 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 2: one of those things that I just feel so grateful 395 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: to be able to give that to you, because it 396 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 2: puts you in a position of power. It puts you 397 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 2: in a position where you are able to be the 398 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 2: narrator of your life instead of somebody else telling you 399 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 2: how it's going to fold, instead of somebody else telling you, no, 400 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 2: that's not really for you, or no, like you need 401 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 2: to buy property for it to be important, or you 402 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 2: need to do this or that or the other. Like 403 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 2: I genuinely feel like a book like this takes it 404 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 2: to the next level. Someone asked me, maybe I'm answering 405 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 2: the questions that you've. 406 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 4: Got take it ahead of yourself. 407 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 2: Sorry, But someone asked me like, oh, do I have 408 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 2: to read the first book and then the second book? 409 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 2: And no, you don't. I've written it in a way 410 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 2: where you can read one in isolation. But I genuinely 411 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 2: believe that the Pink Book, the first book, is like 412 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 2: that foundation. It's the budget, it's the cash flow, it's 413 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 2: understanding the concepts, it's master that, and you'll want the 414 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 2: next book and you'll want to take it to the 415 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 2: next level, and you'll feel genuinely like you can take 416 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 2: control of your life and you can take control of 417 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: your investing journey. And I think my favorite thing about 418 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 2: it is you could have no money and you're just 419 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 2: excited about the concept and you're not ready to invest 420 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 2: and read it and hopefully absorb some content that really 421 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 2: helps you. Or you could have a million dollar inheritance 422 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 2: that you need to invest, and both ends of those 423 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 2: spectrum are met. So for me, I love it. I'm 424 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 2: really proud of it, and I'm really excited that I 425 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 2: get to like give it to you. 426 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 4: It's really special. I think the big thing for me is, 427 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 4: you know, if I think back five years ago, if 428 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 4: I had said to myself, you're going to be really 429 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 4: excited about this finance book. I would have been like, 430 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 4: who are you? And can you leave me alone? Because 431 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 4: there's just no way that's not who I am. And 432 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 4: it's really cool for people like me and for all 433 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 4: of the people in this room who have so much 434 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 4: of their lives ahead of them. Learning these things and 435 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 4: consuming this knowledge has the power to put you in 436 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 4: a position where when you're older and you want to 437 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 4: retire and maybe that's earlier than the normal retirement age 438 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 4: of what is it sixty three or is it gone 439 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 4: up to sixty five? 440 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 3: Sixty five? 441 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 2: Sixty five? 442 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 4: Wow, that's so far away, but like maybe if it's 443 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 4: you know, Sue. 444 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 2: Right, tell everybody how young you are, go up. 445 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,239 Speaker 4: But you know, when you get to that point, you 446 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 4: have the opportunity to live life the way that you 447 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 4: want it. And you know that's I think the thing 448 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 4: that this community is all about is about saying you 449 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 4: have the power, and you deserve to have the knowledge, 450 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 4: and you deserve to have the choice to live your 451 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 4: dream life and you know, not to be real like 452 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 4: girl boss, yeah make money because that's the way that 453 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 4: sounds like now going but we're canceling that term, but 454 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 4: that do you know what I mean? The thing to 455 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 4: get you there is education, and for so long, so 456 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 4: many of us have been kept out of that conversation, 457 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 4: either because we didn't have easy access to it or 458 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 4: because you know, it wasn't something that we were interested in, 459 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 4: like me, and we kind of kept ourselves out of it. 460 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 4: And you know, I think you can look back in 461 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 4: Hindsights twenty twenty and I look back and I go, 462 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 4: I wish I'd started sooner. But to see so many 463 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 4: people in the community learning and sharing and teaching and 464 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 4: doing all of those things a go, there's going to 465 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 4: be some or rich people in you know, twenty to 466 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 4: thirty years that. 467 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 2: They wanted to be because of me. And then they 468 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 2: can pay for my own lattes. Those seven dollars, oh lattes, 469 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 2: they'll get you. I think it comes from two places, though, 470 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 2: right like it comes from one. Investing in twenty twenty 471 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 2: two has never been more accessible like these days. There 472 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 2: are apps for everything. There are apps to remind you 473 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,239 Speaker 2: when to brush your teeth, and there are apps that 474 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 2: let you invest for as little as one cent. Right 475 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 2: there has never been that ability to access investing before. 476 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 2: So I think we're in a really special position where 477 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 2: we can you know, take charge of that. We no 478 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,479 Speaker 2: longer have these minimum investment requirements. Like I remember when 479 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 2: I started in financial advice, there were so many managed 480 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 2: funds and ETFs or exchange traded funds that had entry 481 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 2: points of twenty thousand dollars. And at that point in time, 482 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 2: I was writing advice for clients literally that I couldn't afford, 483 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 2: Like I couldn't sit down and be like, oh, like, 484 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 2: I really love this, you know, this particular fund which 485 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 2: I'm not allowed to mention right now because I might 486 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 2: lose my license. I recommend it. It's great. I love 487 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 2: it for you. I wish I could invest in it, 488 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 2: but I don't have enough money, Like isn't that gross? Like, hey, 489 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 2: this is reserved for you because you're kind of rich, 490 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 2: but I'm not. So I'll write the advice and put 491 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 2: you in the best position. It's the one I wish 492 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 2: I was in, though, Like that's gross. So it's never 493 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 2: been more accessible because now through platforms like, we're able 494 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: to access these things, which is to me really special. 495 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 2: But I also think we are now as especially women, 496 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 2: breaking down this barrier of mediocre, middle aged white men 497 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 2: telling us that an acronym means they're really smart. And 498 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 2: I think that for so long these people in the 499 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 2: investing world would use acronyms in terms of reference and 500 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 2: phrases that you know, they'd throw compound interest around and 501 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 2: talk about it as if it was really like exciting 502 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 2: and then never explain it in a way that made sense. 503 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 2: It would take them, you know, six paragraphs to get 504 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 2: to the point where it's like, hey, guys, it's the 505 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 2: money that your money makes, full stop. 506 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 4: It's so simple, like. 507 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 2: It's the money that your money makes when it's invested, 508 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 2: Like you put it there and it'll make money for you, like, okay, 509 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 2: no worries. And I just think it's crazy to think that, 510 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 2: you know, our ETAF is actually quite complicated, na, babe, 511 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 2: it's actually a basket. Like it's a basket of shares 512 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,479 Speaker 2: and they put all the shares in there, and then 513 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 2: you put your money in there and buy it. Like 514 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 2: I just feel like we no longer except the gatekeeping 515 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 2: of the information, and we want it broken down. And 516 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 2: I think that that is you know, very twenty twenty two. 517 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 2: I think we see through it in plethoras of ways, 518 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 2: like you see it with people rebelling against influencers and 519 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 2: people rebelling against marketing and people rebelling against different products, 520 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 2: and you totally get it. But like, I'm glad it's 521 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 2: in the investment world because they need to be held responsible, 522 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 2: but also break it down or it's not going to 523 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 2: resonate with anybody. No one's going to want to work 524 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 2: with you. So I'm excited about that. 525 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 4: I'm really excited about that too, And I feel like 526 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 4: everybody who's here is excited about investing as well, which 527 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 4: is very, very fun. Because we have some questions that 528 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 4: you guys submitted that we're going to go through and answer. 529 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 4: All right, Victoria, the first question that I have for 530 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 4: you is should you start investing when you're on a 531 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 4: type budget? And if yes, how should you do that? 532 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 2: That is, Look, it's a really good question because it guys, 533 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 2: get this, it's really in line with your values. So 534 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,239 Speaker 2: you've got to work out what is more valuable to you. 535 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 2: I think it's and I've said this before, it's so 536 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 2: ridiculous to expect that if you have a really type budget, 537 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 2: or you're going through what I call a season in life, 538 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 2: like you might be a university student and putting too 539 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 2: much pressure on yourself and more money is coming at 540 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 2: some point in the future. I feel like I'm a 541 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 2: staunch advocate for respecting the lifestyle that you currently have 542 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 2: so that you're not, you know, living the life that 543 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 2: you wish you had later. So investing now, it's really 544 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 2: important to understand it, to absorb the information, to educate yourself, 545 00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: to put yourself in the best possible position to get 546 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 2: the best head start. But that doesn't necessarily mean that 547 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 2: you have to do it today. But I also really 548 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 2: want to reiterate that you don't have to have a 549 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 2: lot of money to invest. Like I have people that 550 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 2: talk to me in the She's on the Money community 551 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: and they're like, yeah, I just invest five dollars a month, 552 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 2: and I think that that's epic, like you are on 553 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 2: the road to success because yeah, like, let's be really 554 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 2: brutally honest, five bucks is not going to help you retire, 555 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 2: Like you are not going to be in a yacht 556 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 2: in the Bahamas because you invested five dollars a month. 557 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 2: But what you are going to be is super financially literate. 558 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 2: So once you graduate out of UNI or change jobs, 559 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 2: or the kids are no longer at home and you're 560 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 2: funding their life, like you already know how to invest. 561 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 2: You've been watching the market for maybe years at that point, 562 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 2: and you're really confident with it, you're really excited about it. 563 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 2: Putting more money in that investment portfolio doesn't feel overwhelming. 564 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 2: I think there's this very big idea that to invest 565 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 2: you must have really high cash flow. And I mean, 566 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 2: you guys have heard me before, I've said that you don't. 567 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 2: But I think we also still put that pressure on 568 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 2: ourselves to go, oh yeah, but like it's just not enough, 569 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 2: And in reality that's not the case at all, Like 570 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 2: there's no such thing as not enough, because even that 571 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 2: five dollars, Like you know, I remember someone talking to 572 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 2: me and they're like, oh, I don't invest much. I'm 573 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 2: just on rais and like they at that point in time, 574 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 2: their fees were like two dollars fifty a month. She's like, 575 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 2: I feel like my like returns are definitely being eaten 576 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 2: away by the fees, so it's not worth it. And 577 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, like let's reframe it though, Like 578 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 2: that's two dollars fifty a month that you can claim 579 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 2: on tags. Ah, that is an investment in your financial literacy. 580 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 2: And like I went to UNI, I did a lot 581 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 2: of UNI. If you've listened to the podcast, you know 582 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 2: I'm still in six figures of hex step. Then I 583 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 2: don't really want to talk about that today because it 584 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 2: still gives me anxiety. But it's one of those things 585 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 2: where like I get it, but the most I've ever 586 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 2: learned is when I was on the job, and investing 587 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 2: is exactly the same, Like, just start the damn job, 588 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 2: Go get your little into and ship. I don't care 589 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 2: what it is. If it's five bucks a month, if 590 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 2: it's two dollars a month, if it's just a dollar 591 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 2: share that you bought on chairs eas because you can 592 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 2: invest that much on chairs eas and just you watch 593 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 2: it over time. Like to me, that is more than 594 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 2: good enough. You are in the market. You are an investor, 595 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,959 Speaker 2: And yeah, I think it's about your values. Yes, if 596 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 2: you're on a type budget, investing is important, but it 597 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily mean that you invest your life savings because 598 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 2: to be honest, that could be a really terrible idea 599 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 2: and put you in a sticky position in the long term. 600 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 4: And if you are in a position where even five 601 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 4: dollars a month is something that you just can't find, 602 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 4: that is okay, Because I think there's a lot of 603 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 4: pressure that we put on ourselves to be doing everything 604 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 4: that we want to be doing, and we see other 605 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 4: people doing things and we go, oh, I want to 606 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 4: be like them. I need to be preparing for my future. 607 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 4: I need to be buying a house. I need to 608 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 4: be getting married, I need to buy a dog, and 609 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 4: I need to do all these things because that's what 610 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,239 Speaker 4: makes me a successful human. And if you can't do that, 611 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 4: if that room in your budget simply is not there, 612 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 4: that's okay. And I feel like you can still learn 613 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 4: and you can still listen and you can still watch, 614 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 4: so that once you are in a slightly better financial 615 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 4: position and it is an option that's on the table 616 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 4: for you, that's something that you can pursue and you 617 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 4: feel ready to jump two feet in as soon as 618 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 4: you can. I want to know how do we deal 619 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 4: with fear around investing, because that's something that held me 620 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 4: personally back, and I think it's something that holds a 621 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 4: lot of other people back. A lot is just being 622 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 4: really anxious about it or being afraid because we've heard that. 623 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 4: You know, back in the GFC everyone lost all of 624 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 4: their money and investing is so risky. 625 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 2: Because is it. Yeah, so we don't know. No, Okay, 626 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 2: well that's the answer. If you're scared, don't do it. 627 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 2: I actually I think it's let's go back to psychology, right, 628 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 2: Like fear, it doesn't come from us actually being scared 629 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 2: of something. Like I have like a really irrational fear 630 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 2: of clowns. And one time my ex boyfriend long story short, 631 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 2: took me to a theater show about clowns. And he 632 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 2: didn't know and he worked in theater, and so the 633 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 2: clowns came down the intermission, which we're going to have 634 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 2: soon to say hello to us and be kind and 635 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,719 Speaker 2: they were like being clowns, and I fainted because I 636 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 2: was so scared, and they thought I was faking it. 637 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 2: And then anyway, we've got an ambulance. It was a 638 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 2: whole thing that was genuine fear. Guys, Like, if you're 639 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 2: not scared of clowns, we don't have to be scared 640 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 2: of investing. Investing is the fear of the unknown. Like 641 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 2: there's irrational fears, and then there's fears because we haven't 642 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 2: taken that next step. So that next step is scary 643 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 2: because we don't know what it's made up of, right, Like, 644 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 2: we can't see it like it's we're going in blind, 645 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 2: So how do we become not blind? How do we, 646 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 2: you know, look to the future in a way where 647 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 2: we can clearly see that next stepping stone? And I 648 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 2: think it's genuinely about education, Like, if you're scared about anything, 649 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 2: we can educate you into going all right, well, clowns 650 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,959 Speaker 2: are not scary Victoria, Like, they're just people wearing masks. 651 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 2: Would you like to touch them up? 652 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: No? 653 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 2: I would not. I get it. But I think it's 654 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 2: really important to break down that goal if it seems 655 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 2: too scary to invest, Like my answer is genuinely don't yet. 656 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 2: It's not don't do it at all, it's don't do 657 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 2: it yet. Take the pressure off and put yourself in 658 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 2: a position where you go, all right, well, I'm not ready. 659 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 2: Why am I scared? I'm scared because I think that 660 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 2: I have to invest my life savings. No, I don't, Okay, 661 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 2: I can invest five dollars. All right, Well, if I 662 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 2: can invest five dollars, what would I want to invest in? Like, 663 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 2: let's start exploring that. Let's start consuming media that is 664 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 2: aligned to creating the life we want, Like there are 665 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 2: a million podcasts out there, obviously, there's shees on the money, 666 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 2: but then there's also you know, my millennial money and 667 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 2: girls that invest and equity mates and all of our 668 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 2: friends in the industry that create content. So you can 669 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 2: be more comfortable with this step. And I would say 670 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 2: that fear comes from the unknown, and if we can 671 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 2: create the unknown known, we're not scared of it. So 672 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 2: I would just say research, create, but also don't put 673 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 2: yourself in a position where you think you need to 674 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 2: know every single thing to take the next step. Once 675 00:31:58,560 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 2: maybe there's a little bit of fog and you can 676 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 2: see the next step, maybe know that you're going to 677 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 2: be safe to take that step and go from there, 678 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 2: and then let's look for the next one. And if 679 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 2: those steps are genuinely feeling too big and too out 680 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 2: of control, let's talk about how we can bring it back, 681 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 2: how we can actually create them into smaller steps that 682 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 2: are more palatable and that aren't scary. And one of 683 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 2: the best things ever, well, let's be biased, is that 684 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 2: she's on the money community because there are people experiencing 685 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 2: what you're experiencing. Jump into the Facebook group, comment on things, 686 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 2: read people's experiences, talk to a girlfriend, go out for 687 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 2: a coffee, go over to their house for a cup 688 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 2: of team and be like, oh my gosh, so this 689 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 2: concept weird right investing, but like, chat to them about 690 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 2: these things. Blame me, be like, oh this girl Victoria, 691 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 2: she's crazy, but she talks about this thing. What do 692 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 2: you think of it? 693 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 3: Like? 694 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 2: I want to be the reason that you guys get 695 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 2: to take that next step and get to put yourselves 696 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 2: in the best possible financial position. And I genuinely believe 697 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 2: that it's just because we don't know and create the known, 698 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 2: we will be okay, I. 699 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 4: Really really like that. I have one more question before 700 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 4: we let everybody go for a quick break, and that 701 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 4: is for people who don't have children, because it's twenty 702 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 4: twenty two, and not every person who can have a 703 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 4: child wants to anymore. Where does their wealth go when 704 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 4: they're no longer around? Because when we talk about investing 705 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 4: a lot of the time we talk about passing that along, 706 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 4: building a future that's better for the people who come 707 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 4: after us. But if you don't have children, you know 708 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 4: that concept, how do we still apply it? Is there 709 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 4: any point in investing? Should we just spend all of 710 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 4: our money and live our best lives and be like 711 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 4: peace out, Thanks so much guys, like, what do you 712 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 4: what's the point that's very deep? 713 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 3: Say that point? 714 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 2: Do you say that too confidently? Is that your plan? 715 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 2: Like is that what's gonna happen. I'm gonna go hard 716 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 2: and then I'm kids one day and Jess, we'll be 717 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 2: like ill, why all right? Cool? Deep question that wasn't 718 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,719 Speaker 2: on the script. I love that from Jess. I think 719 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 2: it actually goes back to legacy, right, and like what 720 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 2: do you want to create? What impact do you want 721 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 2: to have on the world. Having had the experience of 722 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 2: investing four people worth tens of millions of dollars, because 723 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 2: that's where I started, right, So when I first got 724 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,760 Speaker 2: my financial advice career, I was lucky enough to slip 725 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 2: into a business that only worked with people that are 726 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 2: classified as ultra high net wealth. And that sounds kind 727 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 2: of bougie, right, But the definition of that in the 728 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 2: business that I worked in, so not across the board, 729 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 2: but in the business that I worked in, was that 730 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,320 Speaker 2: they had to have a minimum of ten million dollars 731 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 2: to invest. So I was dealing with people while I 732 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 2: was in like forty thousand dollars worth a credit card debt, 733 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 2: Like I don't know why they were taking my advice, 734 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 2: but they were. While I was doing that, I think 735 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 2: I learned a lot about legacy, because even if people 736 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 2: do have kids, it doesn't necessarily mean they want that 737 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 2: wealth to pass on to them. A lot of the 738 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 2: time they'd be like, look, Jess is my child. I 739 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 2: think she's really intelligent. I actually want to find like, 740 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 2: have her find her own way, and a lot of 741 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 2: I guess the wealthy people in the world who have 742 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 2: tens of millions of dollars struggle with exactly the same 743 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 2: Q questions that we have. And that's what happens after 744 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 2: I'm not here anymore? And what legacy do I want 745 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 2: to leave behind? And I think, obviously the stereotypical answer 746 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 2: of work with a state planning lawyer to work out 747 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 2: what that is, but actually think about your life, because 748 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 2: I don't think it's what happens after we die that's important. 749 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 2: I also think it's about the legacy that we leave 750 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,399 Speaker 2: in our living life. If we want to get really deep, 751 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 2: But what are we putting our money towards? What are 752 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 2: we funding, what are we not funding? Are we going 753 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 2: to talk about fast fashion and we're not going to 754 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 2: talk about fast fashion and you know, when you pass on, 755 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 2: do you want that money to be left to a 756 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 2: child or to my child, Jessica, or do we want 757 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,439 Speaker 2: that money to be passed on to a cause that's 758 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,280 Speaker 2: really close to our heart or establishing something that means 759 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 2: something something really cool. Actually, I know you're probably trying 760 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 2: to wrap me up, but good luck is we would 761 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 2: create a lot of trusts for super wealthy people and 762 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 2: you can actually do it now, where you invest your 763 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 2: future wealth that you don't need anymore. Because on the 764 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 2: off chance that something to happen to us yesterday, because 765 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 2: we always talk about yesterday. We never talk about tomorrow. 766 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 2: On the off chance that something happened to me yesterday, 767 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 2: maybe I want to create a trust that, you know, 768 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 2: the investment money in that in perpetuity pays for a 769 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,399 Speaker 2: scholarship or a fee for somebody. And you know, let's 770 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 2: be super deep in my will, I've got that set up, 771 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 2: like I have all my superannuation money going to a 772 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 2: trust that will create financial literacy like courses in other countries. Sorry, guys, 773 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 2: I feel like you guys have a covered in other 774 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 2: countries for women who are not able to access financial literacy. 775 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 2: And I think that you can do literally anything you 776 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 2: want to. But the really important thing here is that 777 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 2: we actually established that before we pass away, and we 778 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 2: actually document that really well and put ourselves in a 779 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 2: position where it's actually possible. So what are people who 780 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 2: don't have children do? They do the same thing, because 781 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 2: you'd be surprised about how many parents pass away and 782 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 2: they don't have anything left for their children. So I 783 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 2: think it's about legacy. What do you want people to 784 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 2: remember you for or what do you want to create 785 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,879 Speaker 2: and how do we create that? Because we're not talking 786 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 2: about tens of millions of dollars here, like. 787 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 4: We okay, I will go, I hope you're okay. Whoever 788 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 4: just fell over? 789 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 2: I think they threw a drink. No, it's not about 790 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,800 Speaker 2: tens of millions of dollars, Like every dollar literally counts, 791 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 2: and you can create whatever you want to create with that. 792 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 2: You just have to be purposeful and put a plan 793 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 2: in place. 794 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 3: Is that okay? 795 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 4: I really like that. I'm also getting slightly triggered by 796 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 4: you calling me your child because when we went to 797 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 4: finn Con, this is so this is I'm getting very 798 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 4: off topic here. But when we went to fin Con, 799 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 4: we went to a party and it was tacky tourist themed. 800 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 2: Did you see this? This is so good? 801 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 4: So Glenn and Victoria I went and bought Glenn. 802 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 2: From My Millennial Money, which is like our partner podcast. 803 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,879 Speaker 2: If you don't know My Millennial Money, you love them. 804 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 2: His community, not our communit his community call him the 805 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 2: Dad of finance. So when I was introduced to his community, 806 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,399 Speaker 2: they were she's clearly the mom. 807 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 4: In the US, everyone who goes to Disneyland buys family 808 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,240 Speaker 4: t shirts and they say lack so tight rich tu 809 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 4: or something fun like that. So I went and got 810 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 4: one that said mom because it's an o with Disney ears, 811 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 4: and then one that said dad. And Glenn and Victoria 812 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 4: wore those and I had like the kids one, so 813 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 4: I was like their little child. But then we went 814 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 4: to the event and they wouldn't give me a drinks 815 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 4: band because they thought I was underage because I was 816 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 4: their kid. 817 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 2: I'm more offended than they actually thought. You could be 818 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 2: more a child. 819 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 4: Really good, But I think on that note, we should 820 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 4: send all of these overage people off to get a 821 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 4: drink of their own on a nice little break.

I'm all about that. I'm like, get the 941 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 3: bag on it. No, that's yeah. 942 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,719 Speaker 6: I think I would call myself a business owner and 943 00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 6: I also have a PAYG. 944 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 2: I love it. 945 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 3: What a sexy acronym matters all? 946 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,399 Speaker 2: I mean, you've been using that MENTI B I had 947 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:08,839 Speaker 2: to actually think, ad be that what dap? 948 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 3: What is that? We're having one right now? 949 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:15,239 Speaker 2: Help me? I want to know, though you transitioned from 950 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 2: full time work. You just told us to part time work, 951 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:19,960 Speaker 2: and I think that's the dream of a lot of people. 952 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:21,040 Speaker 2: How'd you do that? Though? 953 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,319 Speaker 6: Well, I decided that I really wanted to be able 954 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 6: to actually focus on the thing I was doing when 955 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,840 Speaker 6: I was doing it. And then you know in both cases, 956 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 6: and so working part time is a way that I 957 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,320 Speaker 6: can balance it. And I decided that I actually could 958 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 6: not afford not financially, but could not afford to overdo it. 959 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 3: As much as I was. 960 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 6: And so I think there has definitely been for me 961 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 6: a bit of a sacrifice knowing that I go, well, 962 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 6: I probably won't have as much spending money. But this 963 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 6: is one of those things that you kind of just 964 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 6: have to do, because, as I was saying earlier, when 965 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,239 Speaker 6: it goes from being a side hustle to like at 966 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,279 Speaker 6: least halfway into your real life us, you kin'd have 967 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 6: to find that balance. So I think it isn't glamorous 968 00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,319 Speaker 6: to go part time from your day job to do 969 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 6: you focus on your hard hustle. It's a lot of 970 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,440 Speaker 6: hard work and it's worth it if it's worth it 971 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,279 Speaker 6: to you, and you shouldn't let anybody tell you that 972 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 6: it's not you know, or try to talk you out 973 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,799 Speaker 6: of doing something that's not stable, because if what you're 974 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 6: doing brings you joy, what like, why would you want 975 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 6: to be stable? 976 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 2: I really like, I really like financial stability though, that's 977 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:34,360 Speaker 2: what we're here to talk about. 978 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:39,319 Speaker 3: Yes, let's see it. Yes, yeah, she didn't. 979 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 2: Mean that we do want stability. 980 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:45,200 Speaker 6: No, I think the idea of having financial stability and 981 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 6: the idea of being able to be glamorous all the 982 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,359 Speaker 6: time perhaps not realistic. Sometimes you have to work really 983 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,120 Speaker 6: hard and spend a lot of time being like I 984 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 6: need a spreadsheet. 985 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,239 Speaker 3: To figure out what exactly is going on with all 986 00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,240 Speaker 3: this money? And what's a gst? Because what's a GST? 987 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 3: I feel like it's like, who got her here? Why 988 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 3: is she?

But like you know, from experience, you don't 1001 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,399 Speaker 2: just say that and go oh, I had an empty 1002 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:47,359 Speaker 2: bee and it was just random. It came from somewhere, right. 1003 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,840 Speaker 6: So, I mean when I was younger, I worked part 1004 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,320 Speaker 6: time in shift work, and I understood the value of 1005 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:54,880 Speaker 6: penalty rates and how. 1006 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 3: You make money. 1007 00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,279 Speaker 6: So I think I've been learning this lesson around what 1008 00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,480 Speaker 6: you get out is what you put in kind of 1009 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:00,440 Speaker 6: for a long time. 1010 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 3: I think when I got my. 1011 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:07,560 Speaker 6: First career job, I was twenty three four five. 1012 00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,000 Speaker 3: I don't know if someone. 1013 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,000 Speaker 6: And I know, you can't tell, And I think for me, 1014 00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,440 Speaker 6: it was the idea that I was heading into this 1015 00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,880 Speaker 6: career with stability and a regular income, and that I 1016 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,120 Speaker 6: could work during the day and sleep at night time, 1017 00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,680 Speaker 6: which was very different from working in a hospitality industry. 1018 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:26,399 Speaker 3: That kind of was very opposite to that. And I 1019 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 3: think that. 1020 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 6: If I look back, the way that I looked at 1021 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,680 Speaker 6: money coming into my bank account every week is like 1022 00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:33,279 Speaker 6: what can I. 1023 00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,439 Speaker 3: Waste this on? How many stupid things can I buy? 1024 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,080 Speaker 6: Somebody asked me the other week, like, what's your biggest 1025 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:40,880 Speaker 6: regret of anything you've ever purchased? And I was like, 1026 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,400 Speaker 6: literally everything I bought in my twenties, it was just a. 1027 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,800 Speaker 3: Waste of money, just crap constantly. 1028 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 6: And I think now being someone who has to balance that, 1029 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,880 Speaker 6: you know, and also taking care of other people, have 1030 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,960 Speaker 6: a child, having to make considered decisions about what's a 1031 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,240 Speaker 6: good use of money? Does it mean that I don't 1032 00:48:58,320 --> 00:48:59,960 Speaker 6: buy things that I don't need to know? But I 1033 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,399 Speaker 6: buy way less of them and I think really hard 1034 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:03,759 Speaker 6: about whether I need them as much. 1035 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 2: I love that, and I feel like this is an 1036 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,279 Speaker 2: ongoing theme of my week.

I think as well, like 1135 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,759 Speaker 6: I'm old compared to you, but I'm young compared to some. 1136 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,360 Speaker 3: Other people, So like, yay, it's all relative. 1137 00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,120 Speaker 6: And I think if I can get a handle on 1138 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,120 Speaker 6: what I want to do, it doesn't have to have 1139 00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:55,880 Speaker 6: a time limit.

Yeah, how did. 1157 00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,920 Speaker 4: You get to the place in that relationship when you 1158 00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,799 Speaker 4: know you were in a place where you thought, oh, 1159 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:47,560 Speaker 4: like this is fine, this is normal, this is a 1160 00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,000 Speaker 4: relationship because you didn't know differently, how did you get 1161 00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,840 Speaker 4: to the point where you're like, actually, that's not acceptable. 1162 00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 4: I deserve better. 1163 00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:59,960 Speaker 6: So I think everything that had happened in that four years, 1164 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:03,560 Speaker 6: four and a half years was kind of a terrible 1165 00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:07,239 Speaker 6: trajectory of terribleness, and then you just get to the 1166 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:08,919 Speaker 6: end of the roller coaster, a self finished being built, 1167 00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 6: you just fall off. 1168 00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:11,520 Speaker 3: That's how I think it feeled emotionally. 1169 00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:15,400 Speaker 6: Essentially, we split and when I reflected, and it was 1170 00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:19,600 Speaker 6: messy and whatever, and it made for like good Instagram posts, 1171 00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:25,399 Speaker 6: which I've now deleted because that's cringe. But I think 1172 00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,080 Speaker 6: that the idea that all of that could happen and 1173 00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:33,000 Speaker 6: then I could walk away and be like, what the. 1174 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,959 Speaker 3: Were you thinking? Really hurt my head? 1175 00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:40,919 Speaker 2: You know that's made of metal? 1176 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,840 Speaker 3: Yees, yeah, not my head, though. I think it was 1177 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:45,960 Speaker 3: just a real wake up. 1178 00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,040 Speaker 6: And I think any person who's ever experienced a scenario 1179 00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,279 Speaker 6: where there in a relationship and I don't mean that 1180 00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:52,960 Speaker 6: necessarily romantically. 1181 00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:54,560 Speaker 3: When we talk about relationship, you and. 1182 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,319 Speaker 6: Energy exchange between two people where you've both agreed to 1183 00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,920 Speaker 6: some terms and conditions that perhaps one of you skimmed 1184 00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:05,560 Speaker 6: it fendly just signed it, read it. I think you 1185 00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,280 Speaker 6: just kind of look back and go, that was a 1186 00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:09,480 Speaker 6: pretty shit choice. Not I'm like signing up for a 1187 00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,879 Speaker 6: credit card, when you're eighteen in that. 1188 00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:19,560 Speaker 2: She lostens No but legit, I think that we don't know, no, 1189 00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,600 Speaker 2: but but it's legit right that you don't know what 1190 00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,319 Speaker 2: you don't know. And the older you get, the more 1191 00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,000 Speaker 2: reflection time you have. And you said something interesting, you 1192 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,680 Speaker 2: were like, oh, if this was around when I was younger, 1193 00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,759 Speaker 2: I wouldn't have gotten in that circumstance. On flip side, 1194 00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,080 Speaker 2: if this was around when I was younger, I wouldn't 1195 00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,680 Speaker 2: have listened because I absolutely knew better, like I was 1196 00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:42,680 Speaker 2: really smart. Yeah, like maybe it did exist back because 1197 00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:44,560 Speaker 2: I'm pretending I. 1198 00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:48,640 Speaker 3: Has the Australian financial of you been around?

I was like, look what I did 1320 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,480 Speaker 6: because I was really super proud of being able to 1321 01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:12,840 Speaker 6: do it and have money, which like I don't always 1322 01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,280 Speaker 6: to do that and make a big purchase. 1323 01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:18,040 Speaker 3: That felt like, well, this could be a real waste, 1324 01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,160 Speaker 3: but it wasn't. I love that for me. 1325 01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,120 Speaker 2: How do we see value the way you see value? 1326 01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:27,720 Speaker 2: So you just said before I was really proud of myself. 1327 01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,120 Speaker 2: You said, you know, I've made this investment in my 1328 01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:33,720 Speaker 2: future career. I feel like something that you know, I've 1329 01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,520 Speaker 2: struggled with historically, and a lot of people in our 1330 01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,000 Speaker 2: community have struggled with, is just being able to be 1331 01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:43,720 Speaker 2: proud of ourselves. Like there's this underlying feeling that maybe 1332 01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:46,680 Speaker 2: it's not enough. How do you get through that? Because 1333 01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:50,120 Speaker 2: I feel like you you know exude positivity and you're like, 1334 01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:51,880 Speaker 2: I'm so proud of myself. I've done this, Like this 1335 01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:55,640 Speaker 2: is sick, Like you took a photo with the MacBook box. 1336 01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,120 Speaker 2: How do I be that proud of myself? How do 1337 01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:01,040 Speaker 2: we be that proud of ourselves, like taking a step 1338 01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:03,240 Speaker 2: that we weren't entirely sure of. 1339 01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:06,240 Speaker 6: I mean, I think the reason that we don't feel 1340 01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,000 Speaker 6: that way is probably internalized. 1341 01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:11,240 Speaker 3: Capitalism, because we never feel like we're enough. 1342 01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:16,320 Speaker 6: And that's why people like Jeff Bezos exist and so. 1343 01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:20,360 Speaker 3: He exists. It's a fact. There's nothing I can do 1344 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:22,600 Speaker 3: about it, or is there. 1345 01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:27,000 Speaker 6: I want to say, And I want to say this 1346 01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,880 Speaker 6: without sounding like I'm trying to turn it into a 1347 01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:34,480 Speaker 6: wittness'sm I'm not lower your standards around what you think 1348 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,760 Speaker 6: is worthwhile and valuable, around what you think is worth 1349 01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:42,360 Speaker 6: your time, lower the expectations that you have that we're 1350 01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,200 Speaker 6: probably given to you as a child. 1351 01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:46,760 Speaker 3: And some of us would say we could talk more 1352 01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:48,160 Speaker 3: about it in therapy. 1353 01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:51,120 Speaker 6: About the reasons that we assign value to the things 1354 01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:54,760 Speaker 6: that we do that are so beyond day. 1355 01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:55,360 Speaker 2: To day life. 1356 01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:58,160 Speaker 3: This is a huge achievement. 1357 01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:02,320 Speaker 6: You wrote a book, You're on two fabulous shoes, thanks 1358 01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:05,640 Speaker 6: bab all achievements. 1359 01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,280 Speaker 2: But also many of the shoes, right, especially the shoes. 1360 01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:10,840 Speaker 3: I mean my chef's kiss. 1361 01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:12,600 Speaker 2: They do get a little bit foggy.

You're way cooler than I 1406 01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:25,480 Speaker 2: ever thought I could be, which I can't be.

But who does 1421 01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:16,480 Speaker 6: people who say they've got it all sorted? 1422 01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:17,520 Speaker 3: Do you though? 1423 01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:20,240 Speaker 6: Because I feel like most of those people are men 1424 01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:25,120 Speaker 6: and they don't carry them mental load. Everything's under control? 1425 01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:25,560 Speaker 3: Or really? 1426 01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:31,600 Speaker 5: Is that because like your wife took care of it, brother, clap, 1427 01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:37,120 Speaker 5: you're not wrong. 1428 01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:41,240 Speaker 2: I saw a meme the other. 1429 01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:43,960 Speaker 6: Day the pretty much listen if the podcast will not 1430 01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,080 Speaker 6: understand the second LF I looked up as if I 1431 01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,360 Speaker 6: was walking at my omnipotent husband. 1432 01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,440 Speaker 2: You're pointing to people in the crowd. She's going to 1433 01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:53,000 Speaker 2: be the worst recording. 1434 01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:57,960 Speaker 6: Honestly, we'll have to do a like full image description of. 1435 01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:01,120 Speaker 2: The entire that's all right about it, We'll do it. 1436 01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:02,560 Speaker 3: Accessibility is the tits. 1437 01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:12,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, describe that. 1438 01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:14,080 Speaker 3: I can't wait came for. 1439 01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:20,200 Speaker 2: Because I'm sorry, and you're welcome if you came for 1440 01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:23,519 Speaker 2: genuine financial literacy. I feel like, just read the book, 1441 01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:27,960 Speaker 2: because that's this isn't what's in the book. 1442 01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:31,720 Speaker 3: I haven't. I've definitely read it. 1443 01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:36,439 Speaker 4: Before we let you go. I just wanted to talk 1444 01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,160 Speaker 4: a little bit more about kind of a place where 1445 01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:43,520 Speaker 4: your passion comes from, about visibility and diversity and accessibility 1446 01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:47,519 Speaker 4: and inclusivity, because I think like the big reason that 1447 01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:49,760 Speaker 4: we're talking about investing is so much is because we 1448 01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:52,000 Speaker 4: want that to be accessible, but there are so many 1449 01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:55,559 Speaker 4: other facets of life where that's not the case. And 1450 01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:58,000 Speaker 4: we were having a really good conversation about it backstage, 1451 01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,000 Speaker 4: and I thought, just before we wrap up, I would 1452 01:08:59,880 --> 01:09:02,519 Speaker 4: really like to share that with everybody because they think 1453 01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:07,200 Speaker 4: it really leans into having those open conversations regularly and 1454 01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:09,960 Speaker 4: normalizing it. And I think you have a really hot 1455 01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,000 Speaker 4: take to share with us, So I want to do 1456 01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:13,280 Speaker 4: it on stage, if that's all right. 1457 01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:13,639 Speaker 3: Sure. 1458 01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:15,880 Speaker 6: So I think what you're referring to is what we 1459 01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:19,280 Speaker 6: discussed about the fact that people who live in bigger bodies, 1460 01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:21,320 Speaker 6: or in my case, fat people because I'm not scared 1461 01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:25,560 Speaker 6: of the web fun are often excluded from financial opportunities. 1462 01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,400 Speaker 6: In the workplace, Almost fifty percent of employers have admitted 1463 01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:31,920 Speaker 6: that they hold a level of subconscious bias. 1464 01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:35,080 Speaker 3: Around hiring people who are, in their eyes, overweight. So 1465 01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:35,400 Speaker 3: there's a. 1466 01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:40,240 Speaker 2: Higher likelihood that people who are fat will get. 1467 01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:45,519 Speaker 6: Less employment opportunities, less promotion opportunities, will be considered less 1468 01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:49,599 Speaker 6: intelligent by their peers and superiors. And so I think 1469 01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:52,600 Speaker 6: we're talking about investment, and we're talking about money. The 1470 01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:55,920 Speaker 6: idea that we at the very core of even getting money, 1471 01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:57,960 Speaker 6: how do you get money to invest? You don't always 1472 01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:00,400 Speaker 6: have an inheritance or a lot of win or some 1473 01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:02,400 Speaker 6: other made up thing that you dream about when you're 1474 01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:07,960 Speaker 6: a kid that gives you instant bank account. Mario, buddy load, 1475 01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:11,960 Speaker 6: that's right, that noise when the Maria, you know when I'm. 1476 01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:13,040 Speaker 3: Not gonna do it, it's fine. 1477 01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:16,440 Speaker 6: And I think that the idea that we are already 1478 01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:19,360 Speaker 6: disadvantaged in that way, And I know that I'm thinking 1479 01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,080 Speaker 6: very about this particular niche of people because it's where 1480 01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:24,960 Speaker 6: I hang out being a fat brown person and a woman, 1481 01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:26,480 Speaker 6: a non man. 1482 01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:27,800 Speaker 4: Like the trithecta. 1483 01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:31,040 Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, oh, there's a lot of intersections. It's 1484 01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:32,040 Speaker 3: like a cobweb. 1485 01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:34,240 Speaker 6: There are as many intersections as there are people, and 1486 01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:37,880 Speaker 6: there are also in that same vein as many opportunities 1487 01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:41,040 Speaker 6: for someone to choose to I mean, if we're gonna 1488 01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:44,160 Speaker 6: talk red pill, blue pill, I guess that choice of 1489 01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:46,000 Speaker 6: will I give this person a chance because they're the 1490 01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:47,519 Speaker 6: best person for the job, or will I lean into 1491 01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:49,479 Speaker 6: my unconscious bias and just do what feels right or 1492 01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:51,240 Speaker 6: what I've been influenced to do by other people. 1493 01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:53,800 Speaker 3: Because people are like not all of them, but lots 1494 01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:54,639 Speaker 3: of them are terrible. 1495 01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:58,360 Speaker 6: Then I think we know that the opportunities for someone 1496 01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:02,599 Speaker 6: like me to become an at an age where I 1497 01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:08,960 Speaker 6: feel like I have a long future of stable financial 1498 01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:13,720 Speaker 6: confidence in what I've invested in is lowered instantly for 1499 01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:15,000 Speaker 6: me because. 1500 01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:16,040 Speaker 3: Of that simple factor. 1501 01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:19,240 Speaker 6: And it's not something that has any real effect on 1502 01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,400 Speaker 6: my ability to be a good employee or be someone 1503 01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:24,000 Speaker 6: worthwhile of earning the same amount of money as someone else, 1504 01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:27,040 Speaker 6: But in other people's lives, potentially it could be so 1505 01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:29,840 Speaker 6: I think it's important for us to recognize that conversations 1506 01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:33,920 Speaker 6: about investments start with money, and money starts with how 1507 01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:34,960 Speaker 6: you get money, and. 1508 01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:38,680 Speaker 3: That affects people differently. So I think that's something to 1509 01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:39,320 Speaker 3: keep in mind. 1510 01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,960 Speaker 6: And I think also the idea of our wealth, what 1511 01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:46,160 Speaker 6: we perceive to be wealth, when we have a slightly 1512 01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:48,879 Speaker 6: different view on that as well, what makes us wealthy? 1513 01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:53,120 Speaker 6: I think investing so that you have financial security is 1514 01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,400 Speaker 6: a key part of that, a cornerstone of that, because 1515 01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:57,799 Speaker 6: that allows you to be able to be more flexible 1516 01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:00,639 Speaker 6: with the other ways that you spend money, spend time 1517 01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:01,880 Speaker 6: and effort and energy. 1518 01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:04,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're so right, Like we talk about how 1519 01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:06,880 Speaker 4: women are behind the eight ball financially, and we know 1520 01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:09,880 Speaker 4: that the statistics show us that, but we don't talk 1521 01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:13,639 Speaker 4: about enough how women of color are two steps behind again, 1522 01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:16,479 Speaker 4: and we don't even have as much data to back 1523 01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:18,719 Speaker 4: that up, because when we do the research to find 1524 01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:21,839 Speaker 4: that out, the data doesn't break it down that deeply, 1525 01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:26,120 Speaker 4: and it becomes even harder to then identify these nuances 1526 01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:29,680 Speaker 4: within society where people are not receiving the same advantages 1527 01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:31,280 Speaker 4: and they can't get as far ahead, and then it 1528 01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:35,360 Speaker 4: feeds into a narrative of oh, well, maybe it's your fault, 1529 01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:37,120 Speaker 4: maybe it's something that you did or a choice that 1530 01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:39,800 Speaker 4: you made. And I think that it's really hard to 1531 01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:42,400 Speaker 4: overcome that I don't have an answer, and I wish 1532 01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:44,240 Speaker 4: that I did. And as I'm speaking, I'm like, well, 1533 01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,280 Speaker 4: where's the nice bow on the end of this where 1534 01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:49,320 Speaker 4: you say, well, this is how we fix that? And 1535 01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:51,080 Speaker 4: I don't think that there is one, but I think 1536 01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:53,919 Speaker 4: people like April who are talking about it so vocally, 1537 01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:57,360 Speaker 4: and people like us who continue to have those conversations 1538 01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,679 Speaker 4: and showing the spotlight on I think it's really important 1539 01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:02,960 Speaker 4: because in a dream world, we'd all have everything that 1540 01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:06,639 Speaker 4: we want and that bias wouldn't impact those decisions and 1541 01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:09,599 Speaker 4: the employer would hire the best person for the job. 1542 01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,040 Speaker 4: And it sucks that some people have to fight harder 1543 01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:15,760 Speaker 4: and longer the less. And I don't know what the 1544 01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,800 Speaker 4: answer to that is, but I like to think that 1545 01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:20,759 Speaker 4: everyone being here and everyone talking about it is helping 1546 01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:21,800 Speaker 4: at least a little bit. 1547 01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:25,559 Speaker 6: Absolutely, And I think that being able to have a 1548 01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:28,120 Speaker 6: thought that you couldn't have before because you didn't have 1549 01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:30,440 Speaker 6: any knowledge, understanding or experience. 1550 01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:32,479 Speaker 3: You know, when we think. 1551 01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:36,120 Speaker 6: About like we talked just briefly about accessibility. When that's 1552 01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:38,600 Speaker 6: something that comes into your mind because it's part of 1553 01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:42,920 Speaker 6: how you live, that's better, that's better than it was, 1554 01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:47,320 Speaker 6: and that like miles to go before we sleep. But still, 1555 01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:50,599 Speaker 6: when we're thinking about the ways that we can ensure 1556 01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:53,639 Speaker 6: that we are doing the most, we will do more. 1557 01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:55,479 Speaker 3: And when you know better, you do better. 1558 01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:59,320 Speaker 2: I love that. I feel like this is arguably a 1559 01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:03,719 Speaker 2: perfect place to leave this because from my perspective, same 1560 01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:06,559 Speaker 2: as you, just like, there is no like golden egg 1561 01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:09,920 Speaker 2: and answer to this. But I think small steps are 1562 01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:13,080 Speaker 2: still steps in the right direction. And if we all, 1563 01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:15,880 Speaker 2: I guess, commit to doing the best we possibly can, 1564 01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:19,920 Speaker 2: that's all we can really ask of people, because you, again, 1565 01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:21,880 Speaker 2: you just don't know what you don't know when it 1566 01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:24,840 Speaker 2: comes to accessibility, Like I have learned so much in 1567 01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:28,200 Speaker 2: the last twelve months just even introducing events to our 1568 01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:31,960 Speaker 2: community where you know, I have these beautiful community members 1569 01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:35,760 Speaker 2: that need different accessibility and I want to provide it. 1570 01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:39,920 Speaker 2: But the idea that that's not stock standard blows my mind. 1571 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,120 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think let's wrap it up here. You 1572 01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:45,439 Speaker 2: know how, at the end of every single podcast, we 1573 01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:47,760 Speaker 2: like wrap the boring, but important stuff.
