Speaker 1: She's on the Money. She's on the Money.
Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome to She's on the Money, the podcast
Speaker 2: for millennials who want financial freedom. Welcome back to another
Speaker 2: one of our Friday Drinks.
Speaker 3: Episodes and as you guys.
Speaker 2: Know, still from Lockdown, where we get to celebrate the
Speaker 2: wins from our She's on the Money community. This week
Speaker 2: in particular, we have had some really good conversations in
Speaker 2: our team Slack group about what you guys have been
Speaker 2: up to and I can't wait to dive into it.
Speaker 2: But before we get there, Tony, what happened on our
Speaker 2: Monday morning money Diary?
Speaker 4: Our money direst this week talked about how she had
Speaker 4: this perfect life at Perfect Life in New Zealand, the boat,
Speaker 4: the house by the water, super happy, and then went
Speaker 4: through a divorce and kind of packed up, paid off
Speaker 4: of a debt and.
Speaker 3: Moved overseas and to Thailand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, moved to Thailand.
Speaker 4: She's teaching over there and she's loving it. And while
Speaker 4: she did say that it hasn't been the perfect you know,
Speaker 4: holiday life with COVID going on and everything, but she's
Speaker 4: loving it and she's making great money and she's like
Speaker 4: still contributing to her Kiwi Saver, which is very cool.
Speaker 2: Very important as well, guys, uh.
Speaker 4: Huh yeah, And it was a really good listen, just
Speaker 4: real eye opening one to kind of you don't really
Speaker 4: understand what's going on behind closed doors. And while someone's
Speaker 4: life might seem so perfect and so easy, it's you know,
Speaker 4: it can be really hard. So there's a great listen
Speaker 4: if you've if you've got a spare halfer, you've got a.
Speaker 3: Spare halfer, you probably should check it out.
Speaker 2: I also really liked that episode, Tony, because I feel
Speaker 2: like we don't often get to see the flip side
Speaker 2: of a relationship. It's always, you know, on She's on
Speaker 2: the money. We've had a number of I guess cheating
Speaker 2: stories where our Money Diarist has been cheated on in
Speaker 2: one way or another, or someone's been unfaithful, and this
Speaker 2: story was the flip, like our Money Diarist was the
Speaker 2: person who cheated on their partner, and I found it
Speaker 2: really eye opening seeing from their point of view of
Speaker 2: what was going on and how that worked. And it
Speaker 2: doesn't normalize it, it doesn't make it okay, but I
Speaker 2: just found it really interesting, maybe because I'm always into
Speaker 2: the pervy stuff, Tony, but just to see from the
Speaker 2: other side, like how did you get there?
Speaker 3: What does that mean?
Speaker 2: Because I think we all say things like I'd never
Speaker 2: x y Z, But up until the point in the
Speaker 2: Money Diary where she said it was actually me. I
Speaker 2: think Tony, you and I were on zoom and we're like, oh,
Speaker 2: he's gonna have cheated on her, Like I could.
Speaker 3: See it coming.
Speaker 2: But then she was like, then I cheated on him,
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, oh, that's not what I expected.
Speaker 2: And it was just so authentic of her to share
Speaker 2: that and being open and honest about that. I think
Speaker 2: was just really special from our community that she trusted
Speaker 2: us with that story, because it's not often that you
Speaker 2: turn around and be like, oh, hey, jes, I did
Speaker 2: XYZ to my partner, because you would often expect a
Speaker 2: lot of judgment in return. But for her to trust
Speaker 2: us with that story was really special. And I've got
Speaker 2: now nothing but respect for her and her journey and
Speaker 2: what she's doing to like just be who she wants
Speaker 2: to be moving forward. So I think, yeah, it was
Speaker 2: just really special to share that story, and I guess
Speaker 2: learn from it, and that's what we're all about as
Speaker 2: a community, is like learning from each other's mistakes and
Speaker 2: learning from each other's journeys, and I think that's, yeah,
Speaker 2: from my perspective, really special. So moving away from that,
Speaker 2: miss Jessica Rici, what did we do on this Wednesday's episode?
Speaker 5: Well, perhaps in an appropriate follow up from that, we
Speaker 5: spoke about binding financial agreements.
Speaker 3: D how topical.
Speaker 6: I know you may have heard me coming.
Speaker 5: Over for about thirty seconds at the start, but it
Speaker 5: was the best thirty seconds.
Speaker 6: Honestly, guys, just come for that.
Speaker 5: But no, we actually brought an expur in because we
Speaker 5: thought talking about binding financial agreements, obviously there's a lot
Speaker 5: of technicalities. We're talking about actual legally binding documents, and
Speaker 5: it was really important to us to get this right.
Speaker 5: So we brought our really good friend Lucy in.
Speaker 7: And she not my dog. I was just about to say.
Speaker 3: My dog Lucy. For those of you playing along at home.
Speaker 2: Lucy Percy is not a sheeper doodle. She's actually a
Speaker 2: family and a state planning lawyer, which is obviously a
Speaker 2: bit smarter than my dog that can now play dead.
Speaker 3: So yeah, with Lucy if.
Speaker 6: It was a really interesting chat around.
Speaker 5: I guess the concept of a prenup is something we
Speaker 5: see a lot in American culture and TV and rvies.
Speaker 5: It's not well lean up, but it's actually not really
Speaker 5: a thing here. And that's why a binding financial agreement
Speaker 5: is kind of our equivalent.
Speaker 6: It definitely is a little bit different.
Speaker 5: And so Lucy gave us some really great insights into
Speaker 5: what it means when you might want one, what the
Speaker 5: proce is, and all of those really interesting nitty gritty things.
Speaker 2: This is true, and Lucy is a good friend of
Speaker 2: the show. I know that our team have used her personally.
Speaker 2: I send a lot of clients to her. I've sent
Speaker 2: family members to her. I really trust her. So hopefully
Speaker 2: we can get her in on a few more episodes
Speaker 2: to pick her brains. And you know, sounds smarter than
Speaker 2: we actually are.
Speaker 3: So speaking of smarter than us, Ryan.
Speaker 7: What welcome here? I am smarter.
Speaker 2: You're welcome.
Speaker 6: Not where that was going at all.
Speaker 2: That's where I respect it. I respect the opportunity he sees. Hey, Ryan,
Speaker 2: what happened in the community this week?
Speaker 8: Well, last week on Friday Drinks, we talked about getting things,
Speaker 8: getting big things in small cars because VU were saying,
Speaker 8: how you got something from Facebook marketplace?
Speaker 2: Now that was yet oh yeah, yeah, And that was
Speaker 2: really embarrassing in.
Speaker 7: The kitchen and Jess, what did you get into the
Speaker 7: small car?
Speaker 6: And I care couch to the back of the micraft.
Speaker 6: Thank you all right.
Speaker 8: Shout out to Beck Madden who got a great Dane
Speaker 8: into Hyonde gets.
Speaker 7: That's very well done.
Speaker 8: Rhiannon got a queen sized bed from my here into
Speaker 8: her friend's Hyonda Gets.
Speaker 7: Shout out to the high little.
Speaker 2: Sister used to drive a Hyonda Gets. Unfortunately it got
Speaker 2: written off, but she would have had it until the
Speaker 2: day she died. It is a ripper of a little
Speaker 2: car like zips around, so speedy, but also just like practical,
Speaker 2: like guys the boots Spaci, so spacious.
Speaker 8: So spacious, Beck said, I once fit one hundred handbags
Speaker 8: that I collected as donations to Share the Dignity for
Speaker 8: the It's in the Bag campaign. One hundred handbags into
Speaker 8: the back of a Mazda Tu. Well, that's huge And
Speaker 8: can I gu you are.
Speaker 2: Either doing something for Share the Dignity or you're a thief.
Speaker 3: There is between.
Speaker 5: Share the Dignity are an awesome, awesome organization that I
Speaker 5: personally really love and support. If you haven't had them,
Speaker 5: definitely look them up. They're essentially trying to equalize access
Speaker 5: to sanitary products for people who bleed. It's a really
Speaker 5: important thing period. Poverty is actually really prevalent here in Australia,
Speaker 5: which I didn't know before.
Speaker 6: Seeing their work.
Speaker 5: So huge for getting one hundred handbags in the car
Speaker 5: for that alone. Go check out the.
Speaker 8: Instagram and a random one here that was I don't
Speaker 8: know if it's definitely just Which is the passing comment
Speaker 8: from Beck Mackay.
Speaker 7: She said, Literally every week I.
Speaker 8: Think of a cool money win and I'm always like, oh,
Speaker 8: I should totally put it on the thread for next week,
Speaker 8: and then I always forget. And then every Friday I
Speaker 8: hear the episode and go, damn it. I forgot this,
Speaker 8: damn it that could have been me.
Speaker 7: Yep.
Speaker 8: Then I said, oh I, Beck, thanks for commenting, did
Speaker 8: you have one to share this week? And she didn't
Speaker 8: get it in before the time of recording, so her
Speaker 8: bad treat.
Speaker 2: Shout out to Beck, who clearly listens to every Friday.
Speaker 7: Episode Mapye, who right now will be going damn it again.
Speaker 5: But Beck, we read that thread all week long and
Speaker 5: it's up and live all week long, and every Monday
Speaker 5: I close the previous week's thread. So if you think
Speaker 5: of it on a Wednesday, just because it's not Monday
Speaker 5: doesn't mean can't post Love it in, Love it in.
Speaker 2: And it's also really helpful, Jess, because I found myself
Speaker 2: always looking for the thread in the Facebook group, and
Speaker 2: the fact that you now close them means I don't
Speaker 2: get confused over what's live and what's not and where
Speaker 2: should I comment and where shouldn't I.
Speaker 3: It's like you're a genius at community management.
Speaker 6: You're so welcome.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 8: So. Veronica bought a at home nail kit that was
Speaker 8: recommended by a friend, and we talk about.
Speaker 7: Cost per wear and cost per use.
Speaker 8: She said, after I use it three times, i'll be ahead,
Speaker 8: and after that I'll save so much money by not
Speaker 8: going to the nail salon every three or four weeks.
Speaker 7: So that is a huge thing.
Speaker 2: Do you know how many messages I get per week
Speaker 2: asking me what nail kit I use? Because I do
Speaker 2: my own nails at home, which you guys would know.
Speaker 2: In fact, i'm doing them right now. But I use
Speaker 2: the Opalac kit from Priceline. Adore it, and it was
Speaker 2: on special when I bought it for fifty bucks, including
Speaker 2: like three colors, top Base and the light, which I
Speaker 2: think is a really good deal, which for me and Jess.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know Tony, if you've gotten your
Speaker 2: nails done with us in the city pre covid life,
Speaker 2: but it's about fifty bucks to get your nails done
Speaker 2: in the city, so my cost per wear is very
Speaker 2: very low one. But yeah, it's like one time use
Speaker 2: and she's good to go. But it is a bit
Speaker 2: more tricky than people think. It is, like you do
Speaker 2: have to kind of concentrate.
Speaker 7: So not to be glad you're doing that now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just really good at it, guys
Speaker 2: us Jess, I'm really good at it all right.
Speaker 8: Alease in New Zealand. Now, New Zealand has a way
Speaker 8: more simple way of getting your tax done than in Australia.
Speaker 3: It's like actually just better.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so they just do everything better than us.
Speaker 3: The better they do tax better.
Speaker 2: They let you use your KILEI saver for your first
Speaker 2: home or you don't have that option with superannuation. Honestly,
Speaker 2: I think they just they've got better air quality, Like
Speaker 2: what else have they got?
Speaker 8: So Alis said, I was wondering when I should expect
Speaker 8: my money from my tax returns. So I logged into
Speaker 8: the ird account that they have, and she realized she
Speaker 8: hadn't actually received her tax return since twenty eighteen. So
Speaker 8: she contacted them and they said, yep, we just didn't
Speaker 8: have a bank account to send it to. So she
Speaker 8: got the past three years worth of tax returns in
Speaker 8: one hit, in one day.
Speaker 3: It's not a money when I don't know.
Speaker 8: What all, right, Emmy, which this is something that no
Speaker 8: one can relate to.
Speaker 7: Emmy said, I was gonna sold a super yacht.
Speaker 3: No, oh, that's just packer, okay.
Speaker 8: Emmy said, I ordered delivery on Friday, but the restaurant
Speaker 8: didn't have the exact thing that I wanted, So instead
Speaker 8: of getting something else, I saved twenty one dollars by
Speaker 8: not ordering it and just eating what I had in
Speaker 8: my fridge.
Speaker 7: A good job.
Speaker 2: Something else that I didn't actually want to eat, but
Speaker 2: it would have been defiance and not wanting to cook.
Speaker 8: Christie said, five years ago, I bought a horse float
Speaker 8: like you know, the trailer also, but.
Speaker 7: Okay, for sixteen thousand dollars it cost for the trailer.
Speaker 2: Sixteen sorry, could you just repeat that?
Speaker 7: Sixteen thousand? She bought it for so.
Speaker 3: Much money for five not even self driving.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know you'd want it to drive itself for that.
Speaker 3: Does it come with the horse?
Speaker 2: Is it like when you go to the toy shop
Speaker 2: and you pick up a Barbie horse trailer and it
Speaker 2: comes with the horses and the Barbie and all of
Speaker 2: the accessories.
Speaker 3: Or is it just the trailer.
Speaker 8: I'd be asking for those things, but it is just
Speaker 8: the trailer. Sixteen thousand dollars five years ago. She sold
Speaker 8: it yesterday for sixteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Five years later Legend borrowed it for free.
Speaker 3: For those years.
Speaker 7: Yep.
Speaker 8: Steph Grace finished second in her footy tips at work
Speaker 8: one hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 7: Thank you very much coming you could.
Speaker 3: You give me your hot tips.
Speaker 2: I'm terrible at footy tips, honestly forgetting about them.
Speaker 8: Alie Stewart said, I needed some trackies because mine were
Speaker 8: falling apart, and we're all working from home wearing trackies
Speaker 8: all day. So I think gave and can understand that.
Speaker 8: Ali said, found two nice pairs from Bonds and Bonds
Speaker 8: trackies are like stock, but.
Speaker 7: They're like get the job done. We're they're real fancy.
Speaker 8: Recommended retail price sixty five dollars, but they were on
Speaker 8: sale for nineteen dollars and if you sign up with
Speaker 8: an account you get free shipping, and she got a
Speaker 8: ten dollar birthday voucher, which means overall she saved over
Speaker 8: one hundred bucks on a couple of pairs of nice
Speaker 8: fancy Trackie. So well, that is a fifty percent of
Speaker 8: per pare well, good work, Ali, and I respect getting
Speaker 8: you track he is as someone who's literally sitting at
Speaker 8: my kitchen table now wearing the Danger's track ones.
Speaker 3: Are the most comfortable ones.
Speaker 8: Frying in Well, I'm inspired by Alie nonetheless, so thank
Speaker 8: you very much.
Speaker 2: All Right, we are back and I have a piece
Speaker 2: of content for you guys that I would love to
Speaker 2: share because I think it plays really well into my
Speaker 2: money loss of the week orbe at Mine's complay my fault,
Speaker 2: whereas this story is actually not their fault.
Speaker 3: It's just really bad.
Speaker 2: But I was reading this week in the news that
Speaker 2: there is a very bizarre reason of New South Wales
Speaker 2: couple keep getting incorrect penalty notices. Can any of you
Speaker 2: guys like guess why they might keep getting fines in
Speaker 2: the mail that aren't actually meant for them.
Speaker 6: Someone didn't update their address.
Speaker 3: Yeah, their address, definitely, you reckon.
Speaker 2: It's actually because the fine system in New South Wales
Speaker 2: can't tell the difference on their toll roads between zero
Speaker 2: and the letter O, so.
Speaker 6: So it seems like it would be a problem.
Speaker 2: It is, but since twenty eighteen they have been getting
Speaker 2: fines for other people's cars in their name, which I
Speaker 2: think is absolutely ridiculous and obviously wildly unnecessary. But apparently
Speaker 2: they keep getting chased up on it. And apparently it's
Speaker 2: not even a car. It's a little scooter so it's
Speaker 2: even smaller, which I think it's very cute, but at
Speaker 2: the same time that's so nice.
Speaker 3: I'd start to get.
Speaker 2: Really frustrated if I was getting fine sent to me
Speaker 2: that I know I didn't actually incur.
Speaker 8: It'll be one of those ones where you would call
Speaker 8: them up and they'd be like, oh, sorry, it's just
Speaker 8: because the and you're like, I know, why just stops.
Speaker 7: Saying something from happening, and they're like, oh, it's just
Speaker 7: a glitch in the system. Sorry, and you're like, well,
Speaker 7: just do something.
Speaker 5: But think about how many number plates you see that
Speaker 5: have a zero in them, Like, are you telling me
Speaker 5: that every single time one of those cars goes through,
Speaker 5: like surely that is a problem that someone should be fixing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and do you know what's more frustrating about this?
Speaker 2: Or I would find it frustrating, like obviously they're not
Speaker 2: paying these because they're not their fines, but they have
Speaker 2: to go through the whole toll process and we all
Speaker 2: know if we get a fine, to go through the
Speaker 2: dispute process is like pulling teeth and trying to get
Speaker 2: through their call center is a nightmare. And then you
Speaker 2: have to submit your claim online. Yes, it's like that
Speaker 2: time that you had to ride into the parking place
Speaker 2: to get your money back, like it's unnecessary, life admin.
Speaker 2: But guys, a, the fines they've ranged between eleven and fourteen.
Speaker 5: Dollars, so they're not even what but you know what
Speaker 5: the problem is if they don't pay there, if it's
Speaker 5: anything like Victoria, not speaking from experience, but if you
Speaker 5: don't pay like a tollvine, that's literally like twenty bucks
Speaker 5: if you if it keeps like coming, and if you've
Speaker 5: maybe moved addresses and weren't getting the letters for example,
Speaker 5: it goes to like the police and it's an automatic
Speaker 5: five hundred dollar fine.
Speaker 2: It's so much money, like a twenty so much money
Speaker 2: and as attorning, you guys are going to be shook
Speaker 2: about this as well. I mean it kind of makes
Speaker 2: sense because we all know that the administration fees often
Speaker 2: outweigh the actual fine. But the actual fines about three dollars,
Speaker 2: and then the admin fee that they're being charged on.
Speaker 3: Top of that was ten dollars.
Speaker 2: But that just kind of seems like a lie to
Speaker 2: me because I can't see a toll road in Victoria
Speaker 2: that's less than fifteen dollars to travel on. So what
Speaker 2: do you mean you got three dollars toll road New
Speaker 2: South Wales.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's actually crazy, is it? Because it's a scooter
Speaker 5: like smaller vehicles smaller that's a good paint.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Should I get a scooter?
Speaker 2: Am I going to save a whole heap of money
Speaker 2: on toll roads?
Speaker 6: Put Lucy in the front basket and.
Speaker 2: One of those scooters with the side cars and I'd
Speaker 2: be like, it's money, win guys and saving money on
Speaker 2: the tolls.
Speaker 4: Or imagine like going to Kohle's and putting like your
Speaker 4: Enviro bags like on the handles of a scooter and
Speaker 4: just like yeating yourself down free.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 2: Well, as I said before, guys, this actually segues, which
Speaker 2: is like maybe this weird kind of scooter sending ways
Speaker 2: into my money confession of the week. And well, so recently,
Speaker 2: you guys know, I bought a new car, which is
Speaker 2: very exciting, and we've also been in lockdown. So I've
Speaker 2: been home and there's been a few times I've had
Speaker 2: to drive places, you know, in between lockdowns since I
Speaker 2: got my car, because I've had it for a few
Speaker 2: months now, so she's she's doing well. Just for those
Speaker 2: of you wanting to know. And because I've registered my
Speaker 2: car in the business, any potential fines actually being sent
Speaker 2: to the office and because we're lockdown, I'm not going
Speaker 2: to get them at the moment. And it turns out
Speaker 2: I completely forgot to register my new number plate with
Speaker 2: the toll roads here in Victoria. So not only have
Speaker 2: I incurred tolls that I have to pay, which is
Speaker 2: fine and fair, and I kind of saw those coming
Speaker 2: because the male's been going to the office and I
Speaker 2: haven't been that prompt in getting it. I now have
Speaker 2: penalties on top.
Speaker 7: Of those more than the actual Yeah they are.
Speaker 4: How much are we talking?
Speaker 3: It's a couple of hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I've actually got to add them together because
Speaker 2: there's more than one.
Speaker 3: But that's all right, we'll get there.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's me being really unorganized, but also bitten
Speaker 2: in the bottom by the toll roads in Victoria, which
Speaker 2: is again probably my own fault, because Tony, you know
Speaker 2: where I live, I easily could drive not on the
Speaker 2: tolls on the top.
Speaker 7: Get I hope getting there eighty seconds earlier was worth it.
Speaker 2: That's all I'm gaining as well, Ryan. So what have
Speaker 2: you got, Ryan to share with us? A money win
Speaker 2: or a confession? What are you putting on the table
Speaker 2: this week?
Speaker 8: I've got I'm going to call it a money win.
Speaker 8: I am recording from home today and not the Kiss Studios,
Speaker 8: the radio station where I work at, because everyone at
Speaker 8: Kiss has been given too free annual leave, not annually
Speaker 8: leave like mental health and how I've seen some companies
Speaker 8: they're like, oh, the whole company's having a day off,
Speaker 8: or they we're having a lot week shutdown. So we
Speaker 8: got a few days to use in September whenever we wanted,
Speaker 8: So it wasn't like a whole company on a certain day.
Speaker 8: They just use them whenever you want, and I thought, well,
Speaker 8: with the long weekend coming up in Melbourne for the
Speaker 8: Grand Final, I thought i'd stack them together, so very nut.
Speaker 8: It's not money in my pocket, but it's a bit
Speaker 8: of a break without using up my annual leave.
Speaker 7: That makes sense. So I think that was a win.
Speaker 8: And obviously pretty stoked with the company when that email
Speaker 8: came out and I was just like, yep, just let
Speaker 8: you manage, you know, and take the day off.
Speaker 7: And I was like, see you later.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's actually really kind of them, which I super appreciate.
Speaker 3: But I love kiss Obviously we have a lot to
Speaker 3: do with them. But I do have a question.
Speaker 2: Isn't taking a mental health day part of your sick
Speaker 2: leave anyway?
Speaker 7: Like shouldn't get mental health?
Speaker 3: Is just you neat them.
Speaker 7: It's not called a mental health day.
Speaker 8: It just said everyone's busy and whatnot, and so you
Speaker 8: just get a day off like a bonus day.
Speaker 2: Okay, not like a mental health day, just like bonus leaf,
Speaker 2: which is kind of nice.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, it can be working from home and
Speaker 8: you know, zoom burnout and people are sitting Oh that's real.
Speaker 2: I don't think people talk enough about that, but Zoom
Speaker 2: burnout and just burn out during this period of time
Speaker 2: is so real, and it's so exhausting as well, because
Speaker 2: you're like, I shouldn't be tired, like literally haven't left
Speaker 2: in my house, but I feel like I'm lacking a
Speaker 2: lot of sleep.
Speaker 3: So if you need it, take it.
Speaker 2: But I guess that's also a nice bonus for you, Ryan,
Speaker 2: but also a little bit of permission to our community
Speaker 2: that if you haven't taken a mental health day, you
Speaker 2: are more than welcome to take mental health care days
Speaker 2: under your.
Speaker 3: Actual sick leave.
Speaker 8: Absolutely, you don't need to be physically ill to be sick.
Speaker 7: Said, Yeah, sure, that's what I care for.
Speaker 2: Use it, and I feel like it actually makes you
Speaker 2: a more productive employee. Like Ryan, these additional days off,
Speaker 2: like you're going to return to work feeling far more
Speaker 2: energized and like back in it because you've had enough
Speaker 2: time to like rest and restore and.
Speaker 3: Like actually just get it together.
Speaker 2: Whereas if you just don't take those days off, the
Speaker 2: burnout is so bad, like lasts for ages.
Speaker 8: But yeah, just taking a day to get better is
Speaker 8: actually better for not just you, but the the business.
Speaker 8: They'd rather have a healthy and productive in three days time.
Speaker 8: Then don't tell my stuff that let's be fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So Tony or Jess, who's going next?
Speaker 4: I can go next because I don't have a money
Speaker 4: win or a confession.
Speaker 2: Cool which my contributing don't.
Speaker 4: Need my money win because I'm not spending any money
Speaker 4: at the moment.
Speaker 3: I've got nothing to contribute. And that's actually a win.
Speaker 4: I love that because we're at home still and I've
Speaker 4: you know, been taking it really easy on online shopping,
Speaker 4: and we haven't really been you know, ordering lots of
Speaker 4: food or doing anything fun. So I feel like my
Speaker 4: win is that I'm I've broken even I really like that.
Speaker 3: I think that's really good.
Speaker 2: I have a question, Tony, do you reckon that's a
Speaker 2: lead on from your accountability August like reset, because like
Speaker 2: you were like, no, I'm not going to do any
Speaker 2: discretionary spending, like no online shopping, and it was like
Speaker 2: this like hard and fast rule for you. Now you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm just not doing any Do you think you changed
Speaker 2: your habits?
Speaker 4: I think it's definitely part of it, because I've done
Speaker 4: less scrolling and less adding to cart, and things just
Speaker 4: don't seem to be adding up the way that they did.
Speaker 4: I think as well. You guys were just saying about
Speaker 4: the zoom burnout. I think even to shop on my
Speaker 4: phone or on my computer after work. I just don't
Speaker 4: even want to sit at my computer at all. I
Speaker 4: don't want to listen to anything. I don't want to
Speaker 4: see anything like I've been reading on the weekend lately,
Speaker 4: watching the TV like I'm just sick of looking at screens.
Speaker 4: So maybe that's part of it. Maybe the zoom burnout
Speaker 4: is good because I'm spending less fun.
Speaker 2: Money win money when I'm burnt out.
Speaker 4: Guys, do you have a money win Jess?
Speaker 6: I have so.
Speaker 5: Last week I had what was meant to be a
Speaker 5: win and turned into a loss. This week I have
Speaker 5: what was kind of a loss but also sort of
Speaker 5: turned into a win.
Speaker 2: I'm really all clutching its straws a little bit.
Speaker 5: So the start of this week, I woke up one
Speaker 5: morning to discover my boyfriend.
Speaker 6: Had done the laundry. Gat Yeah, you would think so.
Speaker 5: Upon further inspection, I discovered that he had washed a
Speaker 5: jumper of mine and Victoria, this was actually a gift
Speaker 5: that you gave me. It's a Mowhir jumper, No. One
Speaker 5: of the yellow one the yellow one you guys know
Speaker 5: that I wear all the time. It's one of the
Speaker 5: nicest things that I own. It's like a two hundred
Speaker 5: dollars jumper.
Speaker 7: O honey.
Speaker 5: He put it through the wash on like regular cycle
Speaker 5: and it now looks like it's made for a six
Speaker 5: year old.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, right, all right, So we can recover
Speaker 2: from this. We can recover from this. Go get a
Speaker 2: bucket of cold water or like a tub of cold
Speaker 2: water and put a whole heap of conditioner in it
Speaker 2: and let it soak. And then what you're going to
Speaker 2: do is like ring it out gently, put it on
Speaker 2: top of a towel and start stretching it out. Because
Speaker 2: the conditioner, because it's like a natural fiber in its
Speaker 2: mow hair, it's going to start stretched like it's going
Speaker 2: to lose the stress in the fiber and it's going
Speaker 2: to stretch back out.
Speaker 3: Over a period of time. So you are welcome.
Speaker 2: This could become a really good money win for not
Speaker 2: only you, but other people who have maybe shrunk. They're
Speaker 2: very nice jumpers in the washing machine.
Speaker 7: So this is a win that became a last that's
Speaker 7: now a win.
Speaker 2: It's actually hot tip from my mum, so shout out
Speaker 2: to Judy. She usually knows everything about everything, if I'm
Speaker 2: being honest, the more you know, yeah, you're wellcare.
Speaker 6: I was going to tell a second half that story,
Speaker 6: but it doesn't really make sense.
Speaker 2: Now She's like, well, I actually it was made for toddlers,
Speaker 2: so I sold it on Deep Pop.
Speaker 3: No toddler.
Speaker 5: I stormed into the study holding the jumper like the
Speaker 5: evidence of crime.
Speaker 3: Jumper and obviously read the care label jets.
Speaker 6: No, not at all. I don't think he even knows
Speaker 6: that they exist, but so obviously.
Speaker 5: He was very apologetic and immediately promised to purchase a
Speaker 5: new one.
Speaker 3: Out you can fix it.
Speaker 5: It did come out a little while ago, so they
Speaker 5: didn't even know if you'd still be able to get it,
Speaker 5: but he jumped on the website and turns out they're
Speaker 5: currently on sale for seventy dollars, so he replaced it
Speaker 5: for obviously a lot less than it was purchased four
Speaker 5: which is a win, but a loss, but a win,
Speaker 5: you know. But now you'll have too, Well if I
Speaker 5: fix the other one, yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, yess, you know what you should do?
Speaker 4: Fix it then sell for two hundred dollars and you
Speaker 4: never bought it in the first place. It was a gift,
Speaker 4: So you've really come out on top here. You're gonna
Speaker 4: make money.
Speaker 6: This is a money win, win, win win.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to hear the update next week.
Speaker 6: I'm going to try the softener thing that Victoria suggested.
Speaker 6: I did not know that. I'm very excited to see.
