<v Speaker 1>Flex and Frooms Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex

0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:08.520
<v Speaker 1>and Frooms catch up podcast.

0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:13.600
<v Speaker 2>Does making more money make you happier? That is the

0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 2>question we're answering today on Flex and Rooms. It's all

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 2>about the financial happiness plateau. There was once a guy

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 2>who said that your happiness plateaus after making seventy five

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:26.920
<v Speaker 2>k USD. At the time that he said that, I

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 2>don't know what that was worth in aud but right

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 2>now it's at one hundred and three k. He has

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:34.839
<v Speaker 2>done a big boy thing and admitted that he was

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.319
<v Speaker 2>wrong redacted redacted, which is a very big thing to do.

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 2>But I also feel like it's no fault of his own.

0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:44.479
<v Speaker 2>A lot of opinions on the internet taken as fact

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 2>and they're immortalizing the way they shouldn't be. Sometimes you

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 2>just say things, Oh, sometimes you just like you echulae

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 2>or you hypothesize and you believe it and then it's

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 2>wrong too real, Like isn't gravity a theory? I'm sure

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 2>if big Dog Einstein was still here, he'd be like,

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't really know if that's like someone I stand by,

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>did einsiginn to gravity? Was that Newton who? No? The

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 2>thing is though, I think that Trying to convince people

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.479
<v Speaker 2>that money does or does not buy happiness is secondary

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>to the fact that we live in the world we

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 2>live in currently. Stop telling people not to do whatever

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 2>they need to do to generate happiness in a way

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 2>that works for them. It's not helpful. I don't need

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 2>a nine figure bay being like you would never want this, please,

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>it's not helpful. And also what happens is that like

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.039
<v Speaker 2>people end up parentifying you in a really weird way,

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 2>like the girl boss who's like, you would never want this.

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Being a bus is really hard. Let them find out, Yeah,

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 2>let them find out.

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:45.039
<v Speaker 1>Hord your around and find out.

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, because really you're trying to make sure this

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 2>one have competition so you can maintain your check. I

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 2>don't like it. Oh. The problem with being able to

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 2>publish stuff is that like, at the time it's true,

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 2>and then it's not true, and then if you're lucky,

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 2>it just fades into obscurity and nobody calls you out

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 2>on it. But then if you're unlucky, you gotta like

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 2>maintain your credibility by being like, I was wrong, and listen,

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:08.919
<v Speaker 2>it's okay to be wrong when you change a generation.

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.679
<v Speaker 2>When you convince people that they don't need any more

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 2>money when the Cozi living's going up. Babes, I think

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 2>you might be a demon. Who were you working for

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 2>at the time. He was in cahoots with HR and

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 2>the corporations of the world to get people to not

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 2>ask to pay.

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 3>Rises because you need anything more than seventy five. Okay,

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 3>don't worry about it.

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.920
<v Speaker 2>He had a kickback. You take seventy you won't be

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 2>happier with anymore. It's gluttonous.

0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Listen, I think that this hinges on this. Yeah, this

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.920
<v Speaker 1>is condingent on this. It is Are you sure I

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>want us just keep going?

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 3>You know?

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I do fault to the man in the room when

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 1>it comes to these This is.

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 2>A this is a habit, and Frumi will say I'm

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 2>being a hater. But FRUMI will spend so much time

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 2>quizzing the women in the office and find one random

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 2>stray man, any man, not even one that's had any

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 2>context of what's happening, and default his opinion and then

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 2>be done. She's comfortable. It's crazy.

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:09.639
<v Speaker 1>See, at least I know what I'm doing. Okay, unlearning

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>behavior space.

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 3>You're not learning misogynist And he said the man inside

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:19.959
<v Speaker 3>of me said to find the closest man.

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 2>To listen to.

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, guys listen. I think that how much money you

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>earn is important with regards to your friends. If all

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:29.639
<v Speaker 1>your friends are on seventy five, then you chill.

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 3>If you're on a seventy five.

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Lifestyle and your friends are earning twenty k.

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>I think how much money you need is continue on

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 2>the lifestyle you want to have and sustain. And unfortunately,

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 2>if you live in metropolitan areas, that will always be

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>exploding out of control. Sydney Vibes is hampster Wiel vibes.

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 2>People never feel content here because as soon as you've

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 2>gotten the job that affords you enough money to pay

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 2>your ramp, get your private health care, pay your car

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 2>and ensure, do your phone bill and go out with

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 2>the girlies, the rent's gone up. Yeah, babe, it's cooked.

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Are you liking Melbourne?

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Do you think it's any different?

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>It's not.

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's different in the sense that I've got a

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 2>head start because I'm living in Sydney, in Sydneyland for prices,

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 2>So I'm like, I'm balling, but give it, you know,

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 2>two years and I'll go back to Hobart Hobart, miss Ebabe,
