I want to know first things first, 33 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: what would you grade your money habits if I asked 34 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 2: you to give them a grade from A through to F. 35 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 4: So I had a big think about this after listening 36 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 4: to a lot of money stories and a lot of 37 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 4: people grading themselves because you very you know, adamant on 38 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 4: how you grade yourselves. So for me, I would grade 39 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 4: myself an A midas. 40 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: Ooh, and she's really good at money. This episode is 41 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: going to be leased. I cannot wait, Money Darist, I'm 42 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: very excited. Let's just jump straight in. Can you tell 43 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 2: me a bit more about your money story? And I 44 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: guess your journey in general. 45 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I grew up with divorce parents. My parents 46 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 4: divorce when I was quite young. My mum she had 47 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 4: a stable job, had a government job, you know, but 48 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 4: pretty much lived paycheck to paycheck. So we actually ended 49 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 4: up pretty much when I was in high school living 50 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 4: in my auntie's house. We were all in like one bedroom, 51 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 4: kind of like a built in garage situation. It was 52 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 4: my mom, my brother, my younger sister. From there, I 53 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 4: kind of just was like, I don't want to have 54 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 4: this life when I grow up, if you know, that 55 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 4: kind of makes sense. So pretty much throughout all of 56 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 4: high school I worked insanely hard in terms of I 57 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 4: worked like I would say, over thirty hours a week 58 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 4: while I was still in school, which is just ridiculous 59 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 4: to think about it. 60 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 2: You're crazy. Yeah, And like when you think about these 61 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: things in hindsight, like I remember looking back on like 62 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: how I managed UNI and work, and I was working 63 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 2: a full time job and doing full time UNI, and 64 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: now I cannot think of how I actually managed that 65 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: and had a social life. Do you look back and go, 66 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: that's insane. 67 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 4: I didn't have a social life, So I think that 68 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 4: was the main thing in high school. That's helpful. Yeah, 69 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 4: that really cut out. You know. Instead of partying on 70 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 4: Saturday nights, I was working on Saturday nights. 71 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: So it you know, what kind of jobs did you have? 72 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 4: So I mainly did. I always did two. So I 73 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 4: would always do like a retail and a hospitality job 74 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 4: because I would get bored of one. 75 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: I did the same thing and I would get bored 76 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: of them. But also you can like double back them. Yeah, 77 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,119 Speaker 2: so like you would like work through retail one during 78 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: the day in the hospital one at night. I thought 79 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: I was hacking the system exactly. 80 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 4: You could like get the penalty rates on the certain 81 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 4: days whichever's going to be better. That's what I did. 82 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I always worked Sundays in retail because it was 83 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 2: double time and a half. Of course I want that 84 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 2: Sunday Sunday exactly. 85 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 4: And I was under eighteen, so I worked in like 86 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 4: an RSL, which in Queensland where I am, you had 87 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 4: to get paid at eighteen year old rate because you're serving, 88 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 4: you're dealing with alcohol. 89 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 2: Perfecto, stunning. 90 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 4: I love that good hack for people. 91 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: So you're working two jobs in high school, thirty hours 92 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 2: a week. Then what happened? 93 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 4: Then I I'd always been told to go to university, 94 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 4: so I was quite an academic student. I got a 95 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 4: good op. I got into the degree I wanted to 96 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 4: get into, which was a Bachelor of Law and a 97 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 4: Bachelor of Business or a double degree. That's what my 98 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 4: mum wanted me to do. That was the kind of 99 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 4: career path she had had in terms of going to 100 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 4: UNI getting a job. I pretty much got into that 101 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 4: and I hated it. It was horrible. I really didn't 102 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 4: like studying at UNI. COVID hit at the time because 103 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 4: it was twenty twenty when I was my first year 104 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 4: of UNI. 105 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: The idea that you've gone through UNI and COVID it 106 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: was happening at the same time and you're now out 107 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 2: of UNI and I'm married, didn't have a baby, blows 108 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 2: my mind. 109 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 4: Oh, it was such like I just yeah, I did 110 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 4: not like it at all. But I'm not a person 111 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 4: that gives up. So I kind of had this epiphany 112 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,679 Speaker 4: when I was eighteen. So I turned eighteen and twenty 113 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 4: twenty when I had a heap of cash because I 114 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 4: had worked and didn't really spend any money. I was 115 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 4: at the time kind of living at home, kind of 116 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 4: not living at home. And that's when I decided, Oh, 117 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 4: I might just buy my first property. I didn't want 118 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 4: to tell anyone. 119 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 2: Oh I might just buy my first house. Yeah that 120 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: makes sense. 121 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, might just by it, didn't actually tell anyone, didn't 122 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 4: tell my mom, didn't tell any single person. No one 123 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 4: knew I'd bought this property at all. Yeah, you didn't even. 124 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 2: Tell your mom. You were like, oh, by the way, didn't. 125 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 4: Tell my mom. At that point in time, i'd moved 126 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 4: out and then COVID hit, so I lost all my 127 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 4: jobs with hospitality, so I had moved back, I know. 128 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 4: So it was a bit stressful ward moved back into 129 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 4: my parents' place. 130 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 2: But no one knew you had a mortgage. 131 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 4: No, Yeah, And then I had bought a place, like 132 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 4: probably it was in the middle of the years. I 133 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 4: bought a place around like June twenty twenty, and no 134 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 4: one knew at all. It was kind of a big 135 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 4: secret until I got things in Queensland. Kind of came 136 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 4: back quite quickly, and I was doing it overnight shift 137 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 4: in like Pokis, so like it's a six am to 138 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 4: five am, and at like seven pm, I just get 139 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 4: a I get a like a picture sent through from 140 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 4: my mom of like a bill from the property I owned, 141 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 4: and it had come to her house accidentally, and so 142 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 4: she'd found out about this property. And I still had 143 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 4: so many hours to go, and it was just like, 144 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 4: please come talk to me when you get home. It 145 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 4: was like five am when I got home after working 146 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 4: a big shift. Wasn't fun. 147 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 2: Why did you want to keep that a secret? Why 148 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 2: did you not want to tell anybody? Because like I 149 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 2: feel like that's the exact opposite of everyone in our community. 150 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 2: Like once you've gotten to that point of being able 151 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 2: to buy a house, like we are celebrating my friend, 152 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 2: like we want to tell everybody that we've achieved this 153 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: massive goal. And you're like, oh, by the way, absolutely 154 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: not not even going to tell my mom. 155 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 4: The funny thing is when I say didn't tell anyone, 156 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 4: I didn't tell anyone personal. So my mom didn't believe 157 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 4: in buying properties and things that she believed in spend 158 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 4: your money when you have it, when you're young, have fun. 159 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 4: It's not really my mentality. But I actually and I 160 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 4: went back and looked at this morning. I actually did 161 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 4: a post on She's and the money, and like got 162 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 4: a heap of reaction. It was like five thousand people reacted. 163 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 4: I had like over five hundred comments, so I shared 164 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 4: it to She's on money, like the Facebook. 165 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 2: You told me, but you didn't tell your mom. Yeah, 166 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: I love you, You're my favorite. That's amazing. So you told 167 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: my community, call the community of it. But you were like, 168 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 2: I forgot my mom. Yeah, well maybe if she was 169 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 2: in the group she would know. 170 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 4: Maybe she could have found out that way, but she didn't. 171 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: It's amazing. I love that. That is actually so funny. 172 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 2: How did the conversation about the rates letter go? Did 173 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: you try and be like, I don't know what that's formum? 174 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: Or did you go oh, by the way, I'm also 175 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 2: a baller. 176 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 4: I kind of was like, well, why did you open 177 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 4: my mail? 178 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I've done too. 179 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 180 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 4: I kind of went to the backpedal and I was like, 181 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 4: why did you open my mouth? Like that's such an 182 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 4: invasion of privacy. Didn't really work. 183 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't have had a bar of that either. 184 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 4: No, it didn't work, but that was okay. She got 185 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 4: over it. She's like, you know, just can't believe you 186 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 4: spent your money that way, which is just so ridiculous 187 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:26,119 Speaker 4: in my mind. 188 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: But yeah, it makes sense as to why you didn't 189 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 2: tell her then, Yes, yes, I. 190 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 4: Just knew there would be a lot of a lot 191 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 4: of judgments behind that. 192 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 2: And you just don't need that at that point in 193 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: your life. I fully respect that. So then what happened then? 194 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 4: So I bought that the middle of twenty twenty, and 195 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 4: at that time, so I was doing my law degree. 196 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 4: Hated it, but I don't. I don't give up things, 197 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 4: and so I wasn't going to drop out of it. 198 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 4: Didn't anything else. And the guy I bought it off, 199 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 4: so the real estate agent, I asked him. I was like, oh, 200 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 4: you know, like how much money did you earn from this? 201 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 4: And he told me his commission. I was like, oh, it's. 202 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: Like wow, stayed at sudents, break it in. Obviously we're 203 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 2: going to get to what you spend for the people 204 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 2: who don't know how much real estate agents make. It's 205 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 2: a lot, yes, but I. 206 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 4: Was like wow, okay. And so he literally was just like, well, 207 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 4: you're eighteen. You must be doing something right, because no 208 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 4: eighteen year old in their right mind, unless they're motivated. 209 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 4: I have the work ethic can save up this much money? True, 210 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 4: Do you want to come work for me? 211 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 2: And I didn't. 212 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah. My friends asked me, like how you did it, 213 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 4: and I just said I don't know. 214 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: Neither do I, Babe, neither do I. 215 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 4: So yeah, he kind of chased me up for every month, 216 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 4: told me, you know, you should come join. I was 217 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 4: still doing my degree at the time, didn't really know 218 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,719 Speaker 4: what to do. I'd fast track the degree to I've 219 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 4: done like a year and a half, two years in 220 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 4: one year. 221 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 2: Again, of course you do, am I not surprised you did, yep. 222 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 4: So then I decided, Look, I'll started in January. I'll 223 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 4: do a year in real estate, and if I don't 224 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 4: like it, I'll go back to UNI. And nothing's happened. 225 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 4: It's all good. I haven't lost a year technically, or 226 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 4: if it does go I'll continue. And that's kind of 227 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 4: what I did. I went into that, which obviously will 228 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 4: be the next question. 229 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: But you're still in real estate, aren't you. 230 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 4: I am still in real estate. 231 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 2: Yes, And that's not because I know and I've asked. 232 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 2: It's actually a grand assumption on my behalf, because if 233 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 2: you're telling me you have this work ethic like you 234 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 2: would thrive in real estate. 235 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 5: Yeah. 236 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 4: It is a very hard industry, which. 237 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 2: I'm going to guess again, is why you're able to 238 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 2: purchase more than one problem? 239 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yeah, it's not just because I could like 240 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 4: pick up a property at like ten dollars unfortunately. 241 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, carry on, carry on. So 242 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 2: you're in real estate. 243 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 4: Yes, in real estate. And then I had kind of 244 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 4: a crazy two years. I guess. I started in real 245 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 4: estate in started twenty twenty one, I you know, did 246 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 4: really well. I actually ended up dropping the law degree, 247 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 4: but I continued the business degree in secret because my 248 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 4: boss told me I couldn't do UNI if I was 249 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 4: doing the job. 250 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 2: You did a secret degree. Yes, you're buying house doing 251 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 2: secret degrees. 252 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 4: Lots of secrets. So I finished. I did, kept doing 253 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 4: that degree in the background, worked really hard, worked my 254 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 4: butt off, absolutely loved it, and decided that I was 255 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 4: definitely not going to go back and study law. I 256 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 4: did not want to be a lawyer, and real estate was, 257 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 4: I guess, the thing to do. 258 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 2: And how old are you at this point? 259 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 4: At that point, so started twenty twenty one, I was 260 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 4: going into being nineteen. And that's also when I met 261 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,839 Speaker 4: my now husband, was right at the start of that 262 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 4: year too, So everything happened. 263 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 2: How did you meet by a hinge? 264 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 4: I one hundred percent rate it. 265 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 2: I love this. I met my husband on Tinder, so 266 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 2: absolutely no no app judgment, guys. 267 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 4: I love the apps.

My mum wasn't the most supportive. She 324 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 4: loves my husband, she does, but just the whole very quickly, 325 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 4: very young. She wasn't the engagement she was okay with, 326 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 4: but it was the fact that we got married so 327 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 4: quickly was a bit like, oh okay, not that happy. 328 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 4: Whilst my husband's parents they actually had the same kind 329 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 4: of timeline, so when they met was quite young.

You were like, 376 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 2: get my laptop and my phone back in my hand asap. 377 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 4: Literally on my last day, they were like trying to 378 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 4: do something and I was trying to type up an appraisal, 379 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 4: and I was like, oh, can you just wait, you know, 380 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 4: five minutes. I've just got to send this email. Then 381 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 4: we'll be good and you can do whatever you have 382 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 4: to do. 383 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 2: That will be me. And you know what, I regret nothing. 384 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 4: You don't because they're sleeping most of the time. Anyway, 385 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 4: you're not really missing out a much. But yeah, I 386 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 4: was back working on Monday. I was at home for 387 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 4: two weeks, and then I was back in the office 388 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 4: Monday today. From two weeks on. 389 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 2: Can I be really pervy? Because yes, as somebody who 390 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 2: is now seven months pregnant and due to give birth 391 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 2: really soon, my plan is to take at this point 392 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 2: in time, six to eight weeks of maternity leave, right, 393 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 2: So everyone thinks that that is. 394 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 4: Like everything's're crazy, true little they. 395 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 2: Think I'm insane. My business partner, Kate in Zella Money, 396 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 2: she took two weeks. I'm not saying that this is normal, 397 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 2: and I'm not saying that this is something that we 398 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 2: should be rewarding, because I think that, you know, having 399 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 2: that time is so special and I totally get it. 400 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 2: But I am, arguably, and I'm maybe speaking for you 401 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 2: here as well, I'm a psychopath. Like I know that 402 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 2: I will be more grounded, a better mum, a better 403 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 2: everything if you let me do my thing and be 404 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 2: a mum at the same time. If you tell me 405 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 2: to do one of those things, I'm going to go 406 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 2: up the wall. But talk to me about like the 407 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 2: actual recovery two weeks after birth, Like I'm sorry, are 408 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 2: you not still bleeding and in pain and not having 409 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 2: a good time, Like, was that actually a good idea? 410 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 4: Look, I think people make and it really does depend. 411 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 4: I'm a lot younger, so I will admit young pregnancys 412 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 4: and births. I do think it easier than when you 413 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 4: are older. It's just it's how you know natural is 414 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 4: so for me it was, you know, natural birth. I 415 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 4: had the epiduit, which is the best thing ever, and 416 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 4: I didn't have any tearing, which is very surprising. 417 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 2: Or it must be nice. Side note for those of 418 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 2: you following along. I did a birth with Beth course 419 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago with my husband, and I 420 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 2: was like, I know so much of this. I listened 421 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 2: to so many podcasts and they were like, eighty five 422 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 2: percent of women tear during childbirth, and I was like, sorry, sorry, 423 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 2: that's not a statistic. I was ready for yeap so 424 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 2: to not tear at all. We're gonna have to take 425 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 2: this conversation offline. I need all your chips, all your tricks. 426 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 2: I want that. 427 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 4: I know. So that was a big thing because obviously 428 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 4: that means that recovery it is a lot easy. It 429 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 4: is way easier, Like I think it was more of 430 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 4: you know, once I got out of hospital. To be honest, 431 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 4: I wasn't really It was kind of like a period 432 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 4: after that for the next maybe week or so. So 433 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 4: by the two. 434 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 2: Week mar so you had it relatively easily. 435 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 4: I did, so I will have met birth. Everything was 436 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 4: quite on the easier side, which meant recovery. I was, 437 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 4: you know, I was ready to go as soon as 438 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 4: we got out of the hospital. I probably could have, 439 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 4: you know, gone and done things like I think I was, 440 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 4: you know, walking and things like that, going for walks 441 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 4: and that as soon as we're back. 442 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 2: You sound like Kate. She was also quite young when 443 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 2: she had her babies, so that makes sense. I just 444 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 2: I also want to just pinpoint it here and say 445 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 2: that we're definitely not trying to glorify that that's any 446 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 2: type of expectation. It's just so perfect. When you hear 447 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 2: someone who has done I'm like, wait, what story how 448 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 2: because it's not the norm, and like, you know, so 449 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 2: many women are like, oh, twelve months wasn't enough for 450 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 2: Matt leave and like that's so fine. Like I have 451 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 2: a best friend who is the exact opposite of me 452 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 2: in every single way, and I adore her and twelve 453 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 2: months leave was not enough for her. And I look 454 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 2: at it and I go, I just couldn't do that. 455 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 2: I think we need to just talk about every type 456 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 2: of experience and go, wow, I'm glad you had the choice. 457 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 4: I'd never heard of people actually going back so quickly 458 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 4: or so quickly by choice. Yes, some people have to 459 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 4: go back because of financial reasons. Mine was by choice. 460 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 2: Yeah. See, mine will be choice as well. And I 461 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 2: think that that changes the game completely. 462 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 4: It does. But I couldn't be a stay at home 463 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 4: on full time my personality. I'd like some days I 464 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 4: have to because chulk I things like that, and oh, 465 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 4: I go, oh, I give it up for all the 466 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 4: stay at home moms. 467 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 2: So now tell me. I want to ask a pervy question. 468 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 2: You obviously do real estate for work, but what's your 469 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 2: job title? And how much money do you earn? 470 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: Yep? 471 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 4: So I am like a real estate sales agent. So 472 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 4: I sell the properties roughly. So last year I roughly 473 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 4: did between about three hundred and fifty thousand to four 474 00:20:59,119 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 4: hundred thousand. 475 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 2: And that's your take home total salary. 476 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 4: That's my take home yep, before tax and things like that. Yeah. 477 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 2: Absolutely, do you know what I feel like when people 478 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 2: start hearing that, they're like, maybe I could have done 479 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 2: two weeks of matt Leeve if I had that income. Yeah, yeah, 480 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 2: that makes a lot of sense to me. Have a 481 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 2: lot of friends in real estate. Can you break it 482 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 2: down a little bit though, So you said before you 483 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 2: kind of have like a commissions based role. What does 484 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 2: that mean? And how much do you get paid? Like, 485 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 2: do you get paid when you sell one property? Do 486 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 2: you have a retainer that you're on? If so, what's 487 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 2: that like? Give me the low down so that anyone 488 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 2: listening to this, that's like I didn't realize that's how 489 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 2: sales agents got paid. They can just be a little 490 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 2: bit more knowledgeable. 491 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, So when you first start, so back in twenty 492 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 4: twenty one, you start on minimum wage. So I was 493 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 4: on literal minimum wage, and you're on like a retainer. 494 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 4: So it's called a debit credit and you pay back 495 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 4: every time you sell something. A split happens, So depending 496 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 4: on what your split is, but normally your franchise takes 497 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 4: percentage and then your actual office like principal, takes percentage 498 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 4: and then you get a cut. That cut will then 499 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 4: cover your retainer to begin with, and then you get 500 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 4: the rest. I'm now at a point where I'm a contractor, 501 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 4: so I just invoice for every sale of my. 502 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 2: Cuts every property you sell. So what does a retainer 503 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 2: look like? Is that thirty thousand dollars? Is it fifty? 504 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 4: At the point when just minimum wage? So when I 505 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 4: was in twenty twenty one, when I was the minimum wage, 506 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 4: I think it was like forty five thousand or something. 507 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 2: And then you essentially need to sell enough properties to 508 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 2: cover that forty five thousand dollars to pay back your 509 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,239 Speaker 2: business that has hired you, and then anything above that 510 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 2: is cream. You said that there's a split, so obviously 511 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: between the franchise and the office owner and you. What 512 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 2: kind of percentage were you taking home at that point? 513 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, so it would be out of one hundred percent, 514 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 4: eight percent would be taken to the franchise and then 515 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 4: forty percent would be taken to the owner and sixty 516 00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 4: percent would be taken to me. 517 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 2: That is a I split. Hey, I should have become 518 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 2: a real estate agent. 519 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 4: So it's really good. 520 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 2: And per sale, let's, you know, break it down even 521 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 2: further because I know what it is. What kind of 522 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 2: percentage of the property price is a I guess a 523 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 2: sale work. 524 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 4: Typically in Queensland you charge anywhere from about two point 525 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 4: five percent to three point five percent of the sale price. 526 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 2: Right, and then that amount is what that commission is 527 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 2: made up of. And that's actually standard. Like we're not saying, 528 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, that's so much. We're more like contextualizing 529 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 2: it so that you guys can understand exactly what that means. 530 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 2: Because I'm so pervy. When I started to learn about 531 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 2: real estate, I was like, sorry, what now, Like that 532 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 2: makes it insane. So what you're telling me is in 533 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, when you started, you were on forty 534 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 2: five thousand dollars, and now you weren't four hundred thousand dollars. Yes, 535 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 2: that's pretty good. That's not bad. 536 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 4: Yes, and it's you know, I will have to put 537 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 4: it out there. Not everyone does earn that much. You know. 538 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 4: What people don't realize in real estate is that I 539 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 4: think it. The statistic is eighty five percent of real 540 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 4: estate agents actually earn less than eighty thousand dollars a 541 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 4: year or something along those lines. 542 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 2: So no, no, no, that's very accurate. 543 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, so's it's one of those things where yes, I 544 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 4: do earn a lot of money, but it's not something 545 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 4: where it's industry wide that everyone earns that much money. 546 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not normal. But what is cool is that 547 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 2: it's completely in your control. So when you were explaining 548 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 2: it before, you were like, oh, I had a fifty 549 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 2: thousand dollars in savings at eighteen, and then this real 550 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 2: estate agent was talking to me and said I'd be 551 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 2: good in it. I was like, of course she's going 552 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,719 Speaker 2: to be good at it. She's a hustler. Look at 553 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 2: that work ethic. Look at what's going on. I obviously 554 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,959 Speaker 2: didn't know before we started recording what you were earning, 555 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 2: and I was very likely going to guess like three 556 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 2: hundred grand at least, because that ethic kind of like 557 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 2: really plays into it. And that's not something that's trainable. Like, 558 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 2: and I don't mean this in a mean or a 559 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 2: rude way, but like it's ingrained in some people to 560 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 2: like work insanely hard and they're super motivated, whereas other 561 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 2: people will be like, oh man, it's like six o'clock. 562 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 2: I'm absolutely not taking client calls after this. Tell me, 563 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 2: my friend about your work life balance. How many hours 564 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 2: are you doing a week? 565 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 4: A lot? I get to the office early, so me 566 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 4: and my husband kind of have different shifts. We call 567 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 4: it looking after my daughter. So I get to go 568 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 4: into work I would say early, So I get into 569 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 4: work at seven am. I then leave the office at 570 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 4: four pm to be home by five pm to take 571 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 4: over for my daughter. But then I, you know, continue 572 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 4: working until I'm pretty much done. My husband normally gets 573 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 4: home around seven pm, and that's when I kind of 574 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 4: switch off. So unless I'm negotiating a deal and you know, 575 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 4: it's really something needs to be done, nothing will get 576 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 4: as until the next day. That's kind of where I 577 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 4: cut it. And for me, I work Monday to Saturday, 578 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 4: being Saturday being open homes and Sunday is my family day. 579 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 4: You will not catch me no matter who you are 580 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 4: on a Sunday. 581 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. I love that, and I think it provides really 582 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 2: good context because to earn the salary that you earn 583 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 2: requires significant sacrifice in different areas of life, and I 584 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 2: really wanted to draw that out instead of being like, yeah, 585 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, there's taol any one and earns so 586 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 2: much money moving on. I just think that we need 587 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 2: to give that chunky amount of context because I can't 588 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 2: tell you one person that I know at this point 589 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 2: in time that's not already a sales agent that would 590 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 2: be able to cut it in that area, Like I 591 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 2: would go insane. I would be burnt out in point 592 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 2: two seconds. So it's just it's nice to have a 593 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: bit more context, my friend. So we know what you 594 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 2: do for work, we know how much money you earn, 595 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 2: but like, what are you working towards at the moment? 596 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 2: What are your big financial goals? 597 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 4: So I've kind of got two. One is like the 598 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 4: dream home in terms of just that big, beautiful home 599 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 4: that people drive up to and go, Wow, she's really rich. 600 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 2: Oh you want a big, really rich house. Yeah, Like 601 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 2: all right, can I come over? Are you're going to 602 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 2: have like a big, really rich pool with a big, 603 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 2: really rich spark? 604 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 4: Definitely? Like that's just something where and it sounds so materialistic, 605 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 4: but I just want to show how much, you know, 606 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,479 Speaker 4: I work so hard. I want something to show. So 607 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 4: that's one thing, like the massive, big house. And other 608 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 4: thing is just buying more investment properties and just setting 609 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 4: myself up because that's how I typically invest my money. 610 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 2: Have you thought about where that? I guess I want 611 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 2: to call it showiness because it's the easiest word to use. 612 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 2: Their Have you thought about where that's coming from or like, 613 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 2: why that's so important to you? Do you think it 614 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 2: comes from the way you grew up and like you know, 615 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 2: obviously living in essentially a reconfigured garage with your you know, 616 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 2: siblings and your mum. Like, is this something that you go, No, 617 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 2: it's not actually just to show other people. It's so 618 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 2: that when I drive up to it, I go, I 619 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 2: did this. 620 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of approves. You know. I had a 621 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 4: lot of people doubting me going into real estate and 622 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 4: doubting kind of the choice I made, that I won't 623 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 4: be able to succeed, and I had that, you know, 624 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 4: throughout a lot of my life. So I think for me, 625 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 4: that is going, wow, I did make it, and to 626 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 4: prove everyone wrong pretty much and to prove to myself 627 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 4: that it was the right choice. 628 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 2: I love it because I feel like you're also investing 629 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 2: on the flip side, so it's not just putting money 630 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 2: into a house to look really important. But let's talk 631 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 2: about that. I have so many questions. Let's go to 632 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 2: a really quick break and on the flip side, I'm 633 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 2: going to break all of that down. All right, money diarist, 634 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 2: we are back you mentioned in your intro email that 635 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 2: you own three properties. The next question for you is 636 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 2: do you have any investments? If so, what are they? 637 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 2: Please start listing them off. 638 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 4: I do. So I have two investment properties. I wrote 639 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 4: them all down this morning. Side have them all? Do 640 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 4: you also want to know, like how much I own? 641 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 4: How much they were? 642 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 2: Of course I do perfect. 643 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 4: So I've got two investment properties. One investment property was 644 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 4: my first one I bought. I bought that on my 645 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 4: own when I was eighteen. 646 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 2: The secret property, the secret property. 647 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 4: So I currently owned that one two hundred and fifty 648 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 4: eight thousand dollars and it's worth about four hundred and 649 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 4: fifty thousand dollars. 650 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 2: That's very nice. Got some equity there. And then did 651 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 2: you use your equity to go into the second one? 652 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 2: I didn't actually, so, oh it must be nice. 653 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 4: I had somehow. I convinced my boyfriend, so my husband 654 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 4: now after knowing each other for four months, to buy 655 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 4: a property with me, which is a property we moved into, 656 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 4: which is now investment property. And I convinced him to 657 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 4: put in fifty thousand and meet to be only put 658 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 4: in thirty thousand dollars for this property. 659 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 2: I wonder who wears the pants in that relationship. Yeah, 660 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 2: interesting question to address at a later date. 661 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know how that I've the highest song 662 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 4: of that, but I did. And then we bought this 663 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 4: second property that I only bought out together, and that 664 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 4: one currently has a loan of three hundred and sixty 665 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 4: eight thousand and it's worth about six hundred thousand. 666 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 2: Oh, very very nice. Yeah, Now, is there a lot 667 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 2: of strategy going into picking these properties? Obviously when you 668 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 2: were eighteen, you had absolutely no real estate knowledge. How 669 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 2: did you know that that was a property you wanted 670 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 2: to buy or would be, you know, a good asset, 671 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 2: Because if you're telling me that you purchased a property 672 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 2: it's worth four fifty and you only have like a 673 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty eight thousand dollar alone on it, 674 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 2: like we would all say, that's a pretty good position 675 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 2: to be in. How do you know how to pick 676 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 2: the right one? 677 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 4: To be honest with that one? I was probably just lucky. 678 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 4: I bought that in twenty twenty when the prices hadn't skyrocketed. 679 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 4: I bought it in an area where I could afford, Like, 680 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 4: I bought it for three hundred thousand, and I bought 681 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 4: it because I was working near there at the time, 682 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 4: but I actually didn't live in it. I ended up moving, 683 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 4: so I didn't even end up living in that one. 684 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 4: But yeah, that one was purely just down to I 685 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 4: liked the area. It was the only really thing I 686 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 4: could afford, and for me, I just knew, you can't 687 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 4: have the dream house straight away. I'm going to pick something, 688 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 4: you know, not the greatest. Go from there. 689 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 2: Great. So now you've got the second property with your 690 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 2: now husband, it's worth six hundred grand. What is the 691 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 2: third property? Tell us about that one. 692 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 4: The third property is the one we currently live in. 693 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 4: So that's the definitely the bigger one where the interest 694 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 4: rates hurts. So that one we only bought last year. 695 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 4: We did use the equity from the second property we purchased, 696 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 4: and that one currently has a loan of nine hundred 697 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 4: and seventy seven thousands. We borrowed the full loan. We 698 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 4: didn't put any cash into it, and the property is 699 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 4: currently worth about one point one Oh. 700 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 2: Very nice. So you're sitting on what five hundred and 701 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 2: fifty ish maybe six hundred thousand dollars worth of equity 702 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 2: at twenty one Yeah, roughly must be nice must be 703 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 2: nice unrelatable. So at twenty one, I was probably drunk 704 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 2: in a bar on Brunswick Street with like ten dollars 705 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 2: maximum in my pocket, and then the year later I 706 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 2: got a forty five thousand dollar personal loan, so like, 707 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 2: we could not be more different, but I love this. 708 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 4: For you slightly different, yeap. 709 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 2: Do you have any other investments or is it just property? 710 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 2: I do, so of course she does, guys, of course 711 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 2: she does. 712 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 4: I've got about fifty thousand dollars in shares. 713 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course you do. I'm genuinely so impressed. 714 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 4: I don't really know much about the shares. My husband 715 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 4: wanted to do something because I was more the property person. 716 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 4: Have they gone well, probably not that much. I looked 717 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 4: at this morning and I texted him and I said, hey, 718 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 4: I've gone down.

I think it's important. And at the 794 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 2: end of the day, I do laugh because, as I 795 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,359 Speaker 2: said before, I have a number of friends in real estate. 796 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,760 Speaker 2: I literally have a property podcast, so I've made heaps 797 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 2: more friends in real estate and they all have beautiful cars. 798 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 2: But one thing that I thought was really funny about 799 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 2: that is that you do actually park in front of 800 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 2: their house, and inherently clients are going to look at 801 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 2: you and go, oh, you're young already, you're female already. 802 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 2: That's genuinely going to put you on the back foot. 803 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 4: Yep. 804 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 2: But by turning up in a nice car, they go, well, 805 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 2: she can't be doing that bad, Like she must be 806 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 2: pretty good at her job and it should not be 807 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 2: like that, but it is, but it is. 808 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: It is. 809 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 4: People always ask they go and wears your car, and 810 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 4: like I was just embarrassed because had the high on 811 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 4: DI I thirty and I was like, oh, you know, 812 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 4: I'd park down the street. I wouldn't even park in 813 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 4: front of the. 814 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 2: House, and like, that's not an embarrassing car. But you 815 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 2: in real estate, often when someone is selling a high 816 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 2: value item like their house, yes, they want proof that 817 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 2: you have money as well, so that you're making you're 818 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 2: a good financial decision to them. It's very strange. It 819 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 2: was the same in the wealth space. Like thankfully I 820 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 2: didn't often drive out to clients' houses because as a 821 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 2: financial advisor, most of them would actually come to me. 822 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 2: But it was one of those things that like, even 823 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 2: when I did drive to clients meetings, I'd be like, oh, 824 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 2: I have this two thousand and six that all are 825 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 2: old car, which I adore and we're gonna have to 826 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 2: get rid of soon because turns out a two door 827 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 2: two thousand and six car is not going to work 828 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,399 Speaker 2: for a new board. That's a story for another day. 829 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 2: But genuinely, every time I would turn up, I'd be like, Ah, 830 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 2: these clients are worth millions and I'm turning up in 831 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 2: a car worth probably max three grand? Like what's that 832 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 2: going to look like? And isn't it weird that we 833 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 2: have to have these conversations with ourselves. 834 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 4: It's a perception, but it as well.

I'm financially confident and comfortable, thank you sir. 858 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,320 Speaker 4: Yes, but that's really my main things. It's just, yeah, 859 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,399 Speaker 4: not doing silly spends like I enjoy myself sometimes and 860 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,919 Speaker 4: my husband definitely balances me out, thank goodness. Otherwise I'd 861 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,399 Speaker 4: probably still be eating you know, like past every night 862 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 4: with sausages because I didn't even couldn't afford mints at 863 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:33,879 Speaker 4: the time either. But every now and again we might 864 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,320 Speaker 4: buy a steak or salmon. So it's you know, really 865 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 4: living it up in the world. 866 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 2: That's a bit fancy. I like it. Now, let's bring 867 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,240 Speaker 2: it down a little bit. What's your worst money habit? 868 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 4: Just kind of contradictionyok, to what I said, But my 869 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 4: worst money habit is I get a lot of anxiety 870 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 4: spending money in terms of if we went out to 871 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 4: a nice dinner, I can't look at the bill, I 872 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,840 Speaker 4: can't look at the menu with prices because it makes 873 00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 4: me so anxious spending that money. So it came to 874 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 4: a point where like we wouldn't go out and we 875 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 4: would have not arguments because we don't argue, but you know, 876 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 4: big discussions about it. Because my husband came from, you know, 877 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,240 Speaker 4: a very well off family where they worked really hard 878 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 4: and they did things to have fun and show for that. 879 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 4: So yeah, that's my big kind of yeah, worst money 880 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 4: habit is. I've got major anxiety to the point where 881 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 4: I can't buy myself a coffee every day, cannot the 882 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 4: mentality behind it, cannot spend the five dollars to my coffee. 883 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 2: Where is that coming from? I feel like I know 884 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,319 Speaker 2: where that's coming from, But do you know where? 885 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 4: It's definitely coming from? My childhood and not having a 886 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 4: lot of money. And that's I yes, I fear in 887 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 4: the back of my mind in terms of what if 888 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 4: that happens. You know, what if my commission based job 889 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 4: I stopped selling? What if I run out of money? 890 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 4: You know, that's it's such a big I guess fear 891 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,320 Speaker 4: in my mind where it's not a reality. It's probably 892 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 4: not going to happen, but it could. And that's kind 893 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 4: of where that anxiety definitely can can see. That is. 894 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 2: And do you have I guess have you sat down 895 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 2: and been like, Okay, well I'm a bit anxious about money. 896 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 2: I have a really good emergency fund and build those 897 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 2: things up. Is that something that you know obviously because 898 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 2: we're a bit more anxious, Are those things maybe healthier 899 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 2: than the average bears? 900 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:21,720 Speaker 4: Yes, it would definitely be healthier than the average person. 901 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 4: And yet I kind of just combat it by, you know, 902 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 4: letting my although we have complete joint finance, it's letting 903 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,759 Speaker 4: him pay for dinner because in my mind it's not 904 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 4: coming from me. I'm not seeing the bill and things 905 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,359 Speaker 4: like that, because I still do want to enjoy in it. 906 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 4: I do think it's become easier now having my daughter, 907 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 4: because then I'm like, oh, I'm doing it for her, 908 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,240 Speaker 4: so it's not for me. We're going to this place 909 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 4: for her. 910 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, all right, Still something that I think you 911 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 2: probably should work on, Yes, because that would be helpful. 912 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 2: I can tell it brings a lot of anxiety, and 913 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 2: I think it's actually a really good I guess insight 914 00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,959 Speaker 2: as well that just because you earn heaps of money 915 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 2: doesn't automatically mean that you're super happy, super free, super 916 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,879 Speaker 2: you know, confident with money. It just means that maybe 917 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 2: you have more to worry about because you've obviously bitten 918 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:11,799 Speaker 2: off a lot. Like, at the end of the day, 919 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 2: is it unreasonable? No, Like with that type of income, 920 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,400 Speaker 2: with those projections, having three properties makes a lot of sense. 921 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 2: But you do sometimes lay awake at night thinking about, 922 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,239 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, think about I mean more than a 923 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,319 Speaker 2: million dollars worth of debt, Like this is crazy, and 924 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 2: I do the same thing, and you've kind of got 925 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 2: to normalize it and me like, well, actually, at the 926 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 2: end of the day, we're never going to be in 927 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 2: the position that like you were in when you were 928 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,320 Speaker 2: growing up. Like, it's just not the reality of the circumstance. 929 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 4: It's never going to be. 930 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 2: We can't tell yourself that at three am, can you. 931 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 4: No, it's not going to let me go to sleep. 932 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:49,240 Speaker 2: No, exactly.
