And also my mum, when 334 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 4: we lived in Sydney together, would go and do this 335 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 4: occasionally and honestly we'd rack up like ten twenty dollars, 336 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 4: which is enough if you see, that's such a good 337 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 4: money in it's so good, and that's a whole bloody dinner. 338 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: It is. 339 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 4: It's sometimes even like, depending on your situation, if you're 340 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 4: like a single person, that could be a week's worth 341 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 4: of food for you exactly. So I think this is, yeah, 342 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 4: just such a rate like way to recycle and make 343 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 4: money and buy yourself some groceries. 344 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 3: Now, can I cudd on to it? Yes, I would say, 345 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 3: like collecting the bottles, ask people around you, because at 346 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 3: this time of year, people have bottles and cans they 347 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 3: want to get rid of. They're hosting parties and they're recycling. 348 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 3: So if you go to a friend's house and they're 349 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 3: do a thing and you're helping. 350 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 2: Cleaning to take all of the recycling home for you, Yeah, 351 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 2: Like I just be like, I'm doing the recycling thing. 352 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 3: It's really fun. I'm loving it. Like do you want 353 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 3: to take your cans? And nine times out of ten 354 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 3: they'll say yes. Also, the workplace people don't want to 355 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 3: have to take the work bin out. So if you 356 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 3: have a recycling bin. 357 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 2: I already came. 358 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 4: I already told Jessica we should be going in to 359 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 4: the studio's kitchen and putting her own bin in there 360 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 4: for cans and bottles and then just collecting it when 361 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 4: we come into record. 362 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 3: Scavenged through like a little raccoon, don't be ashamed because like. 363 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 2: You don't be ashamed to be a raccoon. 364 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 3: No, true, a recycling raccoon.

My partner and I 405 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 5: are about to purchase a home, and we're thinking about 406 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 5: how to best use the money available each week for savings. Now, 407 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 5: it's not going towards a house deposit at this stage. 408 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 5: It's about five hundred dollars a week, and we'd like 409 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 5: to use some of it to make extra mortgage repayments 410 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 5: and some of it to set up an investment portfolio. 411 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 5: We don't have any consumer debt, and we do have 412 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 5: an emergency fund. My question is how do we make 413 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 5: a decision about splitting money between investing and extra mortgage repayments. 414 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 5: My partner would like to put most of the money 415 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 5: on the mortgage, but I'm worried about making sure we 416 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 5: put enough in investments as we are already in mid 417 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 5: thirties and don't yet have an investment portfolio, and I 418 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 5: want to make sure we are setting ourselves up for 419 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 5: the future, really looking forward to hearing your thoughts. 420 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 4: Luckily, for this one, I can rest my voice because 421 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 4: I assume vickied, how's the answers? No, never, what would 422 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 4: you do? 423 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 3: I mean it's value based spending, right, Partially, I feel 424 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 3: like you would have to. Ideally you'd do the math, 425 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 3: so you'd look at maybe our favorite compound interest calculator 426 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 3: on the money Smart website and chuck in how much 427 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 3: you could potentially earn on investing over thirty years or 428 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 3: however long the term of your mortgage is, and then 429 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 3: you would compare that to how much interest you would 430 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 3: save by making those extra mortgage repayments, right, which is 431 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 3: like the. 432 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 2: Practicem just not needed on this show. 433 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's fine, but. 434 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 3: It comes down to values. I feel like, yeah, you'd 435 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 3: say right, so. 436 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 2: I'll just see myself walk downstairs. Yeah, if that's okay, 437 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 2: no worries. Can I grab my bag before I leave 438 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 2: it to you? 439 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 4: Thank you? 440 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 2: Could you just pack up my desk? Yes, I'll be 441 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 2: really gentle with all the plants. 442 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 4: I promise anything. 443 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 3: I don't know how to work out the mortgage interesting though, 444 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 3: so you can't grow. 445 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 2: Sorry, Oh okay, well I finally have value in life. 446 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 2: You are absolutely correct. It's really about values based spending. 447 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 2: And what it sounds like is your values are building 448 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 2: an investment portfolio, and your husband's values are paying down 449 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 2: the mortgage. And I think we actually before we talk 450 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 2: about returns, need to step back a little bit and go, well, 451 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 2: why does he have I guess, not a fixation, but 452 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 2: where his values coming from when he says he wants 453 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,719 Speaker 2: to pay down the mortgage, because obviously that feels very 454 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 2: financially secure. So you know, Jess, I can almost guarantee 455 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 2: this is just a values thing, knowing her when she 456 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 2: has her mortgage, she's going to prioritize her mortgage guaranteed 457 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 2: over the share market because that's what's going to make 458 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 2: her feel safe and secure. And they know Jess well 459 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 2: enough to know those are her values. Those could be 460 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 2: your husband's values, and that's great. But we need to 461 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 2: talk about this and also respect it because it's not 462 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 2: quote which one is better. Let's ask she's on the money. 463 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 2: They'll know I can tell you on paper which one 464 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 2: is better. Investment portfolio, hands down. The average annual return 465 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 2: over a thirty year period for the Australian share market 466 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 2: right now is nine point two percent. Your average mortgage 467 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 2: is sitting at about five So if we go, is 468 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 2: getting a five percent return because I paid off more 469 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 2: of my mortgage better than getting a nine point two 470 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 2: percent return. Jessica the math maths and tells us that technically, 471 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 2: on paper, the best return for your cash holder is 472 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 2: the nine point two percent. However, that doesn't mean that 473 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,959 Speaker 2: it aligns to your goals and your values and your 474 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 2: financial security and what you're trying to achieve. Maybe one 475 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: of your big financial goals, like jess is, is to 476 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 2: own your own property. And I can almost guarantee she 477 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: wants to own that outright pretty quickly. Am I on 478 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 2: the right track there? 479 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 3: Jess Yeah, I think so. I think it's for me 480 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 3: it would just be a security. 481 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 2: It's the third security. It's not a out not knowing 482 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 2: the maths like just invests now. And I think she 483 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 2: wouldn't stop, no, but I think that you would, you know, 484 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 2: really prioritize making sure that mortgage is smashed down and 485 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 2: it's out of your hair. For you, it's always been 486 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 2: about like having your own home. 487 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 3: But interest is a bit sickening when you look at 488 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 3: like if you run the numbers on how much extra 489 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 3: you pay, Like, I get that you have to, there's 490 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 3: no way out of it. But oh makes me feel ill. 491 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, don't even start me like it's it's terrifying. But 492 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 2: I think really understanding what that looks like. You've got 493 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 2: some extra you know, cash flow. That's fantastic. But what 494 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 2: are we doing now? You mentioned you already have an 495 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 2: emergency fund. I'm glad you did because that obviously would 496 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 2: have been the first thing that I spoke about. 497 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 3: She preempted you, she knew what you were gonna say. 498 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: You. 499 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 2: But also, is your emergency fund working hard for you? 500 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 2: Is it like offsetting any of the interest on your mortgage? 501 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 2: Where's your emergency fund sitting? Is it just sitting where 502 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 2: you used to have your emergency fund before you had 503 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 2: a mortgage? What does that look like? How can we 504 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 2: make that money work as hard for us as we 505 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 2: did for it? So then after that we're looking at, 506 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 2: you know, do we go into an investment portfolio, do 507 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 2: we go into a mortgage? And to be honest, because 508 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 2: there's two people in this relationship, we kind of need 509 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: to always have compromise. So having a deep conversation with 510 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 2: your husband about well, why are you prioritizing this. Let's 511 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 2: have a look at the numbers. What does that look like? 512 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 2: Maybe he's just never invested before and didn't realize what 513 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 2: that looked like. Do what Jess said, go on the 514 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 2: Money Smart website and have a look at that compound 515 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 2: interest calculator. There are also so many calculators online for 516 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 2: mortgage repayments, so you could google free mortgage repayment calculator 517 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 2: and see what that money would shave off your mortgage. 518 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 2: How many years is that going to take? If you're 519 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 2: in the ses on the Money money masterclass, girl, I 520 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 2: already did it for you. It's built into the spreadsheet 521 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 2: because I'm just really smart. 522 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 4: Bit she's so smart, Oh a spreadsheet. 523 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 2: I definitely do not have any tickets on myself either, 524 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 2: So like, that's really good. You always want to work 525 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 2: with people who are super humble. That's so important. But yeah, 526 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 2: I would have a look at, well, what would it 527 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 2: look like. Let's pretend you have an extra three hundred 528 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 2: dollars a month. What would an extra three hundred dollars 529 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 2: a month actually take off our mortgage versus what would 530 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 2: it look like in an investment portfolio. What are the returns? 531 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 2: But also when will you finish your mortgage? Because if 532 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 2: you're planning on finishing your mortgage and chucking every single 533 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 2: dollar to that, are you then only starting your investment 534 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 2: journey in twenty five or thirty years? If so, how 535 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 2: much time do you have for that to compound? Or 536 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 2: you know, if it's three hundred bucks a month, could 537 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 2: we split it? Could we potentially go half half again? 538 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 2: As Jess was saying, it is values based, it's not 539 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 2: often logic based because money is inherently emotional. That's my 540 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 2: Ted talk. Thanks for coming. 541 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 4: You're so welcome. 542 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 2: You've been a stellar guest. 543 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 4: You so much. 544 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 3: Notarious along, but I really want to get to this. 545 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're like a Christmas fery. 546 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 3: Yes, and it's a good one this week, not that 547 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 3: it isn't every week. 548 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 2: It's a good one every week. But also anything that 549 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 2: has anything to do with Christmas, like Jess's ears, just 550 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 2: she's having a bad day, be like Jess or remember 551 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 2: Christmas exists, and she's like, I don't even care that 552 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 2: my house flooded. Yeah, I love Christmas. All right, guys, 553 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 2: here is the DM we received. Hello, she's on the money. 554 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 2: I have a Christmas dilemma for you. So my siblings 555 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 2: and I have put one hundred dollars spending limit on 556 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 2: presents for each other this year. However, my sister has 557 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 2: come back and requested more of a demand, if I'm 558 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 2: being brutally honest, that we just transfer her the one 559 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 2: hundred dollars rather than buying herself a. 560 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 4: Gift with it. 561 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 2: Now, I don't know if it's just me, but this 562 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 2: doesn't sit right. I'm more than happy to be in 563 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 2: the Christmas spirit and spend the money on a nice 564 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 2: present that I think she would love, but I don't 565 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 2: really want to transfer one hundred dollars. It feels like 566 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 2: I'm just giving my money away. She said she doesn't 567 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 2: want or need any gifts and would just much prefer 568 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 2: the cash. She also said she would return my present 569 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 2: and get a refund so she can have the cash 570 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 2: if I gave her one. I think she's being super ungrateful, but. 571 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 4: I mentioned it to my friend and she just said 572 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 4: if cash is what she needs, it's not rude to 573 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 4: ask for that over a gift. 574 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 2: Now, I'm not sure what to think. What are your 575 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 2: thoughts on this? 576 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 3: This like what we were talking about a couple of 577 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 3: weeks ago with wedding gifts, and I said the same thing. 578 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 3: I was like, I get why people ask for money, 579 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 3: but for some reason, something in me feels a little 580 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 3: bit uncomfy about it. Sure, and I think it's partially 581 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 3: I said this already, but I think it's partially like 582 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 3: the fact that they know exactly what you've spent. I 583 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 3: mean like when you're if you're buying a gift someone, 584 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 3: you can try get on sale, or you can you 585 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 3: shop back to get cash back, or there are all 586 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 3: of these ways for you to make it a little 587 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 3: bit easily. If you giving us one hundred dollars, like 588 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 3: you're giving them a hundred dollars, it's not really a 589 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 3: whole lot of ways around that. 590 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 2: Why are we doing gifts? 591 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 5: Oh? 592 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 4: Yeah? 593 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 2: Like you know, Jesse, if you and I sat down 594 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 2: and put a limit on the gifts that we were 595 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 2: giving each other, and I said, it's to one hundred dollars, 596 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 2: and you said, yep, no worries, can I have it 597 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 2: in cash? Well, are we just swapping one hundred dollars? 598 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 2: Well that's so true, like a little switch true, Like 599 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 2: I'm going to give you one hundred dollars cash, Jess, 600 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 2: and you're gonna buy me worth one hundred dollars. Like, please, 601 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, I'm always super grateful for it, 602 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 2: but I think it changes the dynamic of like the 603 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 2: spirit of giving at Christmas, Like I love buying gifts 604 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 2: for people. I know Jess does too, and you do too. 605 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 2: I've noticed your little love language is gifts. Like it's 606 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 2: very very sweet, but it's also one of those things 607 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 2: that you know, I give gifts because I want to 608 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 2: spuck joy. I use gifts because you know, I see 609 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 2: things and I go Jess would love that. Like I 610 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 2: was so stoked this year when I picked Jess's present 611 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 2: because I was, like, it's from a place I know 612 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 2: she loves. It's a thing I know that she would 613 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 2: never buy herself. It's something that I really like, which 614 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 2: to me is really important when giving gifts, because like 615 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 2: I want to like something that I'm giving you, but 616 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 2: also I just knew she would like it or hopefully 617 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 2: like it, or she's lied to me this entire time 618 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,959 Speaker 2: and said she liked it. But it's one of those 619 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 2: things where I just get a lot of joy out 620 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 2: of that. Whereas if she'd said, oh, well, can you 621 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 2: just transfer me to cash anyway? I'd be like, oh, well, 622 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 2: this now just feels like a transaction as opposed to 623 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 2: an entire like I've thought about you, Jess. This is 624 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 2: something that I've gone, you know, above and beyond for 625 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 2: of had to track it down and do this and 626 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 2: do that, Like I don't know. For me, gifts are 627 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 2: the thought and that's why I've never really cared about 628 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 2: what they cost. Like I saw in our Facebook group. 629 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 2: Did you see our Facebook group as well? There was 630 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 2: a post about one of the girls had actually made 631 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 2: our wheat packs. Yes, yeah, and she got these gorgeous 632 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 2: tetails from Target that were like six dollars. She made 633 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 2: a whole heap of them, and she was like, these 634 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 2: wheat packs cost me like three dollars fifty a gift 635 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 2: like money wine, and everyone's gonna love them. She wrapped 636 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 2: them up beautifully because it was the thought that counts. Yeah, 637 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 2: And I do feel like when I say, oh, yes, 638 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 2: I'm gonna put a spending limit on our presence, it's 639 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 2: one hundred dollars this year, I feel like that's the limit, 640 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 2: not the expectations, like I'm not getting you a gift 641 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 2: worth one hundred dollars. I'm just saying, let's just make 642 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 2: sure that our budgets are relatively similar, Like, let's just 643 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 2: make sure that we're not going, you know, really obnoxious 644 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 2: this year. One hundred dollars is a lot of money too, 645 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 2: it is I for one gift for one person, Like, 646 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,719 Speaker 2: that's a lot of money. So I just look at 647 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 2: it and go, you're just asking for a hundred bucks 648 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 2: now that it's a bit weird. Whereas if I had 649 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 2: set I don't know, if i'd set a budget of 650 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 2: one hundred dollars, especially way back in UNI days and 651 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 2: when I just was a bit more strapped for cash, 652 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 2: I'd be like, great, let's pretend it's one hundred dollars. Yes, 653 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 2: I'd then be like shopping around, going to DFO, trying 654 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 2: to find something that was also discounted so I didn't 655 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 2: have to spend the whole one hundred dollars, but you, 656 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 2: as the gift receiver, was still getting a heap of value. 657 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, So I don't know, I know I've been on 658 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 4: the other end where I want the cash because especially 659 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 4: if you're just so fair. Yeah, and like I guess 660 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 4: if you're spending money over Christmas, what you really need 661 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 4: is cash because you're like, it's so stressful sometimes it's 662 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 4: so anxiety inducing. So I totally get wanting the money, 663 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 4: but I totally get the dissatisfaction of literally just trend 664 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 4: forring someone a hundred bucks, and also when it comes 665 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 4: to like the morning of when that person's just sat 666 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 4: there not opening any presents. But I guess like if 667 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 4: everyone's comfortable sending or not sending but giving the hundred 668 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 4: dollars instead, I would maybe try and make it like creative, 669 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 4: like get like a really cheap biggie bank and put 670 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 4: like the hundred bucks in there, or like make it, 671 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 4: say like it in a card and put it in 672 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 4: something that you can still wrap so it feels like 673 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 4: she's still opening a present or something like that, you know. 674 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, or just transfer me to the hundred bucks, don't 675 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 2: worry about it. 676 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, it feels very transactional, it does. It feels very unsatisfying. 677 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 4: And then yeah, like what if everyone wanted that same thing, 678 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 4: then everyone would just be like, oh, I'll just keep 679 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 4: the money in my own account, and everyone breaks even 680 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 4: no one gets a present, you know what I mean. 681 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 2: Like, may just start doing presents this year, coase we 682 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 2: stretch for cash Like yeah, I don't know. I just 683 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 2: I don't feel uncomfortable with it, Like I feel like 684 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 2: I've given cash as presents before, when people would be like, oh, 685 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 2: I'd love cash. And when I was younger, if my 686 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 2: parents were like, what do you want for MS you 687 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 2: new days, I was like money, yes, please give me money. 688 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 3: I need cash. Yes. 689 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 2: But and this is very entitled again, like it is 690 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 2: absolutely showing my privilege. I knew that by asking my 691 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 2: parents for cash, they would definitely give me cash, but 692 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 2: I'd always still get something trivial to open on the day. 693 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 2: And I feel like it did take the spark away, 694 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 2: Like now I'm going to be a mum. I'm not 695 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 2: gonna love giving my kids cash, like I'm a gift 696 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 2: giver at heart, Like I'm not gonna love that, but 697 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 2: it's also practical. Yeah, and right now I feel like 698 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 2: asking for cash is fine, but like, let's just take 699 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 2: it one step further. Let's not do that little dance 700 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 2: of Jess. You get me a present worth one hundred 701 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 2: dollars and I'll do the same thing, Like let's just 702 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 2: be like, oh, let's just not do presents, you know, 703 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 2: what I would love a really beautifully written card, Hey, 704 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 2: Merry Christmas. It's been so lovely hanging out with you 705 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 2: this year, Like it's really nice. 706 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 3: ID card would be cute if you didn't want to 707 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 3: do gifts, like okay, we have to make each other 708 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 3: something with stuff home to make a card, you have 709 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 3: to make it gingerbread house. You have to make something 710 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 3: that doesn't cost money, but it's made with love. 711 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 2: No, I agree. So we asked the community. We said, 712 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 2: do you think it's rude to tell someone to give 713 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 2: you cash instead of buying a gift? Forty two percent 714 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 2: of you said, yep, that's rude, but fifty eight percent 715 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 2: of you said Nope, not rude at all. We also 716 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 2: asked the question, would you prefer the one hundred dollars 717 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 2: gift or one hundred dollars in cash? Forty one percent 718 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 2: of you said the gift, it's much more meaningful, and 719 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 2: fifty nine percent of you said, give me the cash. 720 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 2: It's just more useful. Cost a living crisis, it's true. 721 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 2: The next question we asked was, have you ever returned 722 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 2: a present for a refund suit that you could have 723 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 2: the cash instead of the gift. Fifteen percent of you 724 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 2: said yes, and eighty five percent of you said no. 725 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 2: It's hard because a lot of time you wouldn't have 726 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 2: the receipts. Logistically, it's probably, you know, always gift with 727 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 2: gift receipts because I'm anxious. 728 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. 729 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I gave Justs a Christmas present and then 730 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 2: she looked like she liked it, but there was a 731 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 2: little gift receipt in the bottom if she Yeah, but 732 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 2: I'm always just like, oh, like I would tell someone 733 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 2: that I loved the gift. Yeah, Like have you ever 734 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 2: been like, oh, thanks for the gift, beck, I'm going 735 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 2: to return this because it's not really my vibe. I 736 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 2: couldn't no, neither, I do not have like I do 737 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 2: not have that level of confidence, and I'm just too 738 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 2: much for the people pleaser. Wouldn't happen regift? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, same. 739 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 2: We should have asked about regifting. Yeah, sorry, guys, we 740 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 2: suck all right, but we did say give us your 741 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 2: two cents. So someone said, my sister and I just 742 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 2: don't do presents for this reason. We both just get 743 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 2: to keep our money. 744 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 4: That's about. 745 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 2: Someone said, I much prefer giving people cash or gift cards. 746 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 2: People never pick what I need. Someone else said, no 747 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,719 Speaker 2: problem with asking for cash for Christmas. Sounds like your 748 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 2: sister didn't ask for it though she demanded it. 749 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe it's in the execution. Perhaps, sure I would. 750 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 3: I really love cash this Christmas. I'm just so strapped. 751 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 3: I guess might have gone over differently too. If you 752 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 3: buy me a present, I'm returning it. 753 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 2: That Yeah, Actually the tone is what threw me the most. 754 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. 755 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 2: Can you imagine if I turned around and said, Jess, 756 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 2: if you get me a present, I'm just going to 757 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 2: return it. 758 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 3: I love it? 759 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 4: Awkward and you're like, oh okay, can you imagine if 760 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 4: you'd already bought the present? 761 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, like what I go to see myself out 762 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 2: the thanks. Someone said it's pointless to give one hundred 763 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 2: dollars cash and then receive one hundred dollars cash. Just 764 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 2: keep it, don't do the transfer, don't do gifts this Christmas. 765 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. 766 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 2: A lot of people said there's nothing wrong with asking 767 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 2: for cash, and absolutely that's the case. I think it 768 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 2: really goes back to tone. So asking for cash is 769 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 2: one thing being blunt and being like, Jess, I'll return your. 770 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 4: Present, chucking it straight in the bin. 771 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 2: I am not going to respect this at all. And 772 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 2: then a few other people said, look, asking for a 773 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 2: transfer does feel rude. Maybe a voucher could be a 774 00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:58,719 Speaker 2: happy medium. 775 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Like so you still like what you were 776 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 3: saying back? You still have something to wrap? 777 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 4: Yeah? Maybe? 778 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. 779 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 2: I just feel like vouchers limiting though, Like, don't get 780 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 2: me wrong, I feel like lots of us appreciate like 781 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,479 Speaker 2: a Coals My gift card, And as a business owner, 782 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 2: actually I've looked into this kind of stuff for like 783 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 2: Christmas presents and bonuses and stuff, And as a business owner, 784 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 2: it's actually easier to give you, guys like a gift card, 785 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 2: like a Coals My gift card that you could use 786 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 2: however you want them giving you cash because then you 787 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 2: don't have to pay tax on it. Oh yeah, and 788 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 2: it becomes like a work gift because I bought a 789 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 2: thing for you, sense yeah, Whereas if I just transferred 790 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 2: the cash, well, that's income, isn't it, So see you later. 791 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 2: However many percent in tax you pay. A lot of 792 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 2: people have said, look, you just don't need more stuff, 793 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,720 Speaker 2: They just need to pay their bills, and I totally 794 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 2: resonate with that. Again, I just honestly like, I'm not 795 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 2: going to go through too many more of these, because 796 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 2: they're honestly the same. A few of you are a 797 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 2: bit rude, and I'm like, give her nothing, someone else said, 798 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 2: and I laughed at this. I shouldn't have laughed at this, 799 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 2: because it's kind of nice. They were like, why don't 800 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 2: you just make a hundred dollars donation on her behalf. 801 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 4: Or she'd hate it, Like you can't refund that's true, 802 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 4: that's true anyway. 803 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 2: I think it's really interesting. Again, I think, especially at 804 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,760 Speaker 2: this point in the year, people do just need cash 805 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 2: to pay their bills, put food on the table, and 806 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,800 Speaker 2: I don't think it's bad to ask for that. I 807 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 2: think it honestly all comes down to tone and meaning. 808 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 2: And if you're demanding something and saying, well, I want this, 809 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 2: and if you don't provide this, well then I'm just 810 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 2: going to return your gift, that to me feels a 811 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 2: bit ick and it's like, well, let's just not do 812 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 2: gifts because you clearly don't even care about the fact 813 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 2: that I would be gifting you something anyway, sure like, yeah, 814 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 2: keep your money, I'll keep my money, and we'll just 815 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 2: call it even so true anyway, those are my thoughts. 816 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 2: Anything else to wrap with. My ladies, have a wonderful Christmas. 817 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 4: Happy Christmas, my baby, Happy Christmas everyone. 818 00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 2: I am so excited for Christmas Day.

But 822 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 2: it's also not the happiest time of year for each 823 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 2: and every single one of our community members. So if 824 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 2: you're hearing us talking about how exciting and amazing it 825 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 2: is and you're like, geez like, be like, that's not 826 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,879 Speaker 2: going to be my Christmas.
