I thought 514 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 3: it would just be a whole heap of nerds stuck together. 515 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 3: But it threw me back to like, do you remember 516 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 3: in high school? Maybe they still have them, the nerds ropes. 517 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,479 Speaker 3: It was like it was like, yeah, it was like 518 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 3: gummy in the middle with nerds stuck. 519 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: It was an experience really good, not for me personally, 520 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 2: but why I wasn't that sold That's why I was like, 521 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 2: it was an experience, really really nice. It's a sensory experience. 522 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 3: Last one is this really cool science thing which is 523 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 3: like a south Bank library at Boyd. It's George's marvelous 524 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 3: medicine mix up where you like make your own color 525 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 3: changing medicine thing. Anyway, so you make medicine, you're gonna 526 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 3: have to give us more like it's not just a 527 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 3: drug class for kids. 528 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 2: It's actually no, it's more of like a science. 529 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 3: It's like a science experiment. So it's also for adults. 530 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 3: You can just go on your own. I feel like 531 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,479 Speaker 3: I actually will I have a baby now, which I 532 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 3: think gives us all of the rights to be like Harvey. 533 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 2: He might be four months old, but he wants to 534 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 2: go to the zoo. 535 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, all the fun activities. 536 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 2: Jess and I we're going to be in.

Now, let's take a listen to 558 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 3: this week's money dilemma. 559 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 5: Hey, guys, I recently come into quite a large amount 560 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 5: of inheritance and I'm looking into buying my first home 561 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 5: with this. It's such a bit of sweat time and 562 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 5: I'm so grateful for this life changing opportunity and i 563 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 5: want to ensure I honor it. I've been with my 564 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 5: partner for just over four years and we have all 565 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 5: the intentions to continue. While we share our bills fifty 566 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 5: to fifty, we don't share finances or own major assets together, 567 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 5: and we don't intend to have kids or get married. 568 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 5: My partner hasn't got enough savings yet to put down 569 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 5: a deposit. I'm a little unsure about how to go 570 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 5: about buying a house and sharing with them. My options 571 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 5: would be to buy the house independently and have my 572 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 5: partner pay rent, or maybe have them share a very 573 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 5: small portion of the deposit. Both feel like there is 574 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 5: some gray area. We are currently in the sharehouse and 575 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 5: dying to have our own space. I want to help 576 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 5: us both, but I do know of horror stories where 577 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 5: someone is able to get half a house they haven't 578 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 5: paid for. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this? 579 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 5: Thank you? 580 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 2: What are you guys for? Reckon? 581 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 3: I didn't even think about the last bit where like you, 582 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 3: if you're like parted de facto, maybe you can get 583 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 3: path of a property or like the money from that property, 584 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 3: because initially I was like, oh, yeah, just buy it 585 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 3: yourself and then it's yours, it's yours. But I did 586 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 3: not think about that. Is that like how much of 587 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 3: a concern is that? Is that a real thing? 588 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 4: Like if you just so like technically speaking from what 589 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 4: I understand you, like, but I mean it happens when 590 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 4: you just live with someone, Like technically, my partner and 591 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 4: I have lived together long enough that like we qualify 592 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 4: for like a share, like we could go after each 593 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 4: other's like super one, all of those sorts of things. 594 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 3: So in Australia, a de facto of relationship is when 595 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 3: two people are not married but live together or have 596 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 3: lived together as a couple on a genuine domestic basis, 597 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 3: and a family law court can make decisions if there's 598 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 3: no agreement. So essentially, even if you were like not 599 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 3: boyfriend and girlfriend because you. 600 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 2: Hadn't put a label on it and then they moved in. 601 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 3: Like after two years, you are actually de facto when 602 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 3: it comes to the eyes of the law. So you 603 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 3: actually do have to be quite careful about that because 604 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 3: your assets do get mixed up into that, And I 605 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 3: mean there are conversations to be had about what assets 606 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 3: you owned pre relationship and then what assets you acquired 607 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 3: during the relationship and whether they come into play. But 608 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 3: as a basis, what happens is and I mean the 609 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 3: courts are going to look at things differently if it 610 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 3: goes that far, but yes, they are able to go 611 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 3: for your stuff. I guess is the really short story. 612 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 3: This is going to change depending on what state or 613 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 3: territory you live in, or even what country you live in. 614 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 3: I know that in Australia, Jess you mentioned like, oh, 615 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 3: we could go for each other super, and that's absolutely 616 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,360 Speaker 3: correct because Jess lives in Victoria, whereas if you lived 617 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 3: in Western Australia that's not the case. So in Western 618 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 3: Australia that's the only state that you can't go for 619 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 3: your partner super, which, to be honest, I don't like 620 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 3: because I feel like that significantly impacts women more than 621 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 3: impacts men. And if you think about it a little 622 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 3: bit deeper, a man might have been able to be 623 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 3: in the workforce for their entire career and how to 624 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 3: stay at home mum for their entire career, and then 625 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 3: they decide to get a divorce once the kids have 626 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 3: grown up because they stayed together for kids, for their 627 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 3: whole relationship, and now the mum is significantly worse off 628 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 3: because she has no retirement savings and she can't actually 629 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 3: access any of that, even though you and I would 630 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 3: probably agree that yeah, she probably should be able to 631 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,959 Speaker 3: access some of his super. So there's a deeper conversation 632 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 3: about that to be had, and I know that there 633 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 3: is a lot of conversation about that changing, which is 634 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 3: really positive. But ultimately, these laws exist to protect both 635 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 3: parties in a relationship, because if you acquire something in 636 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 3: a relationship, Beck, when you and I are all happy 637 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 3: and hunky dory, there's an assumption that it was both 638 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 3: of our relationship and our you know, supporting each other 639 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 3: that got us to that. Whereas an inheritance that's a 640 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 3: different story. And you and I might might live together 641 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 3: because like, cost of living is really high, and at 642 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 3: the end of the day, I do feel like lots 643 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 3: of people they just move in together because it's honestly convenient. 644 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 2: Like, Beck, life's expensive. 645 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 3: You're staying at my house five nights a week, anyway, 646 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 3: why don't you just move in? Like it wasn't that 647 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,239 Speaker 3: serious of a relationship, but like, let's just do this 648 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 3: for now. If we break up, you just move out 649 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 3: right really easy. But what if you got an inheritance. 650 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 3: I'm then legally able to be like, oh, well, we 651 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 3: broke up, but like you got that during our relationship, 652 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 3: I can have half of that. 653 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like it gives me the like a 654 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 4: good thing to bring up is that, like, regardless of 655 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 4: whether you buy a house or whether you use the 656 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 4: cash for some other asset, theoretically they may be entitled 657 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 4: to that regardless of what you do with it. So 658 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 4: like putting it in a house or not putting it 659 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 4: in a house, isn't the difference between. 660 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not and not protecting it. 661 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, Like the cash is up for grabs, and it's 662 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 3: not necessarily immediately up for grabs. And this is where 663 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 3: you need to get a financial advisor or an accountant 664 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 3: involved to discuss this because often what happens, and this 665 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 3: is probably going on a little bit of an inheritance tangent, 666 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 3: and we'll put in the show notes a couple of 667 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 3: links to episodes where I've spoken in more depth about inheritance. However, 668 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 3: when an inheritance gets transferred, right, let's say I passed 669 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 3: away yesterday and I've put Beck in my will, what 670 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 3: often happens is I might have establish to trust, which 671 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 3: will then become a testamentary trust because it's testamentary because 672 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 3: I've passed away. And that's the only way a testamentary 673 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,959 Speaker 3: trust can be established. That money sitting in that trust 674 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 3: if it's in the trust is protected until you take 675 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 3: it out of the trust. So often people go, I 676 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 3: don't need the trust. I'm just get rid of that 677 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 3: right now, because you know I'm going to have to 678 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 3: do a tax return for that trust, and that's money 679 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 3: that I don't really want to be spending. 680 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 2: That's expensive. 681 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 3: But what you're forgetting is the protection that trust is 682 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 3: currently affording you because if it was inherited to you. 683 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 3: And don't get me wrong, this isn't legal advice. This 684 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 3: is just how I've seen it happen with previous clients. 685 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 3: If it's in the testamentary trust still and you haven't 686 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 3: dissolved that structure, you are going to be in a 687 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 3: position where it's protected from your partner the second you 688 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 3: pull it out and put it in your own bank account. 689 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 3: Even if you don't want to make a decision on 690 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 3: it right now, it's now an asset that they have 691 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 3: access to. So we need to make sure that if 692 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 3: it's been left that way, it's there. But then you 693 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 3: also need to be talking about, all right, well how 694 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 3: do I protect this. Let's say it just got transferred 695 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 3: directly to your bank account. Talk to your accountant about 696 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 3: setting up a trust to begin with that. Maybe you 697 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 3: put that in talk to your accountant about maybe working 698 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 3: with them or working with a legal advisor to set 699 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 3: up a binding financial agreement that outlines, Okay, I got this, 700 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 3: and if we break up, I don't want you to 701 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 3: be able to take it. Any sane reasonable human being 702 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 3: would be like, yeah, of course, Beck, that's you know, 703 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 3: money from a family member or a loved one that's 704 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 3: really important to you, and I actually have no claim 705 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 3: over that. 706 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 2: To me, it's a red flag if they were going, oh, 707 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 2: but like if I broke up with you, like, what 708 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 2: do you mean I got nothing? 709 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Sorry, sir, Absolutely not. So I think it's 710 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 3: important to have those conversations. But then also even if 711 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 3: you're like, oh, but I'm in love with Beck, which 712 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 3: I am, just would mean of course I get it, 713 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 3: but we're never going to break up. This money is 714 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 3: for us to create our future and build our future. 715 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 3: The best time to be talking about what would happen 716 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 3: if our relationship dissolved is when we're in the best 717 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 3: possible position right like, right now, nobody's cheated right now, 718 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 3: there's no animosity in our relationship. I want to sit 719 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 3: down with you and have a chat about the best 720 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 3: possible outcome, and usually protecting an inheritance is really smart. 721 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 3: So let's say that you purchased a property with some 722 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 3: inheritance and you use that inheritance as your deposit. Beck, 723 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 3: Let's pretend for a second that the inheritance is from me, 724 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 3: like it's come through me. We're in a relationship. You 725 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 3: didn't have a house deposit. All of a sudden, I've 726 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 3: got this inheritance. We have a house deposit, but you're 727 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 3: going to pay fifty percent of the mortgage. So maybe 728 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 3: we put together a binding financial agreement that if things 729 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 3: don't work out between us, I can pull out my 730 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 3: inheritance and put it back in my bank account from 731 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,719 Speaker 3: the profits of the sale of that property, and then 732 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 3: we split things fifty to fifty after that. Yeh, so 733 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 3: I think there's a conversation. It doesn't automatically mean that 734 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 3: you get my stuff. You're obviously benefiting from it because 735 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 3: we're getting into the property market together. However, I think 736 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 3: they need to be a deeper conversation around well, actually, 737 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 3: if this doesn't work out between your eye, like, I 738 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 3: want to walk away with what I put in, And 739 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 3: the same is true for anything like you know, Jess, 740 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 3: for example, is talking about purchasing property. She's been very 741 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 3: open on our podcast about that, and she's doing it 742 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 3: on her own. I have been in the background being like, Jesse, 743 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 3: if you don't have a binding financial agreement, I'm coming 744 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 3: for you, Like you want my help, this is what 745 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 3: you're gonna do. Not because I don't love her partner. 746 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 3: I think her partner's great. I don't think they're going 747 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 3: to break up. I think that they're in a really 748 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 3: solid relationship. But Jess is the one putting forward a 749 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 3: deposit and he's going to move into the hat. Like 750 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 3: there's a lot of things that I go, we as 751 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 3: women need to be protecting ourselves and making sure we're 752 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 3: in the best possible position, even if the relationship we're 753 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 3: in is one hundred percent sound yeah, Like these are 754 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 3: things we need to be considering because I don't think 755 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 3: anyone gets married because they go like it's all good, 756 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 3: let's beend like what one hundred grand on a wedding 757 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 3: or something for us to get a divorce later. Like, 758 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 3: no one gets married if they think they're going to 759 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 3: get divorced. No one goes into a relationship. And says 760 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 3: Jeff let's move in together. I love you so much 761 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,239 Speaker 3: to have to go through the pain of breaking up 762 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 3: and moving out and being like, are these your pots 763 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 3: or my pots? 764 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 2: Who gets the microwave? 765 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 3: No one wants that, right, Like, you don't get into 766 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 3: a relationship because you know it's going to end. So 767 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 3: I think we always get into things with the best intentions, 768 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 3: and as humans, we are internally very optimistic about relationships. 769 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 3: But I think that we need to protect ourselves no 770 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 3: matter how much we love someone. And that can feel 771 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 3: negative because you're like, I don't want to bring up 772 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 3: what's going to happen with my partner if we. 773 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 2: Break up, but you have to. They're the rules I 774 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 2: made them, so I. 775 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 4: Feel like I've got nothing else to add. 776 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 2: I think that's very, very thorough and well sigh again. 777 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 3: If you want more information on inheritance, we have done 778 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 3: a couple of podcasts on them, and we'll make sure 779 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 3: that the links to those podcasts are in the show 780 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 3: notes this week, because I think it's an important topic. Like, 781 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, it could be five 782 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 3: hundred dollars, it could be five hundred million dollars, but 783 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 3: that money needs to be treated with respect and I 784 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 3: think that often we get analysis paralysis around these things. 785 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 3: And I've said it before, we often also carry a 786 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 3: lot of guilt when we have an inheritance about you know, 787 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 3: honoring it and doing the right thing with it. And 788 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 3: you know, I think that's a really big topic that 789 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 3: if you know you're in that position, please do some 790 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 3: more research. 791 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, completely agree, let's soul we should we Yeah, one 792 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 2: time of the week, Beck, you are right. 793 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 3: I think it is time to slide on into something juicy. 794 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,760 Speaker 3: Are you ready for this week's money dilemma? 795 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:35,240 Speaker 4: Yes? 796 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 2: All right, let's go. So here's the DM that we received. 797 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 3: Hey, team, question for you travel related and then the 798 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 3: like little aeroplane emoji. I'm going away to Bali with 799 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,280 Speaker 3: a friend and all has been locked in for a while. 800 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 3: Now we are spending two weeks together before going our 801 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 3: separate ways. 802 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 2: To do further travel. Very nice, all right. 803 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,240 Speaker 3: She has had a last minute change to itinerary, which 804 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 3: now means she'll leave me two nights earlier than we 805 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 3: had planned. For this accommodation, we were paying two hundred 806 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 3: dollars a night each, so a total of four hundred dollars. 807 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 3: We were splashing a little bit because this was our 808 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 3: final destination. Now she's leaving, she said that she won't 809 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 3: be paying her half of the room we have already booked. 810 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,839 Speaker 3: I can't afford it on my own, so I'll have 811 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 3: to change accommodation, which is really annoying for me. But 812 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 3: on top of this, as it's such a last minute change, 813 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 3: I'm talking this is next week. Other accommodation is looking 814 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 3: at being about three hundred dollars a night on my own. 815 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,479 Speaker 3: She isn't willing to put anything in, but I think 816 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 3: she should. What do you think and what do you 817 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 3: think I should do? Oh, you gotta pay for it. 818 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 2: Exactly before it is crazy. 819 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, like you can cancel it, like as she's saying, 820 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 3: like everything else is really expensive and also leaving a 821 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 3: week out, you kind of like staff for options. But 822 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 3: when I was in Japan, I kind of told my friends, 823 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 3: like I don't know that I'll make it to the 824 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,760 Speaker 3: last leg, but everything I'd already been booked, so obviously 825 00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 3: I'm going to pay for it. Like there is the 826 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 3: it's not even a question like that's. 827 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 2: So I agree. 828 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 3: You just you obviously got to pay for it. Otherwise, 829 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 3: like this listener's whole plan would have been different. I'm 830 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 3: sure they would have maybe like gone somewhere else and 831 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 3: just like left later or whatever. You just you must, 832 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:15,879 Speaker 3: there's no question about. It's black and white. 833 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 2: You must. But how do you deal with that? Now, 834 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 2: that's that's a tricky thing. 835 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 3: Well, I feel like shooting them in the foot as well, 836 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 3: because it's like, all right, well, if you're not going 837 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 3: to be there for the last two days, we are 838 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 3: planning and going our separate ways. But even if she 839 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 3: wanted to fly home early and go, all right, well, 840 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 3: I can't afford that accommodation, Like I'm just going to 841 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 3: go home a little bit earlier. 842 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:36,280 Speaker 2: She's probably gonna. 843 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,800 Speaker 3: Have to pay fees to change her flights, like yeah, 844 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 3: and fee changes on flights are expensive, so it'll probably 845 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 3: cost her four hundred bucks to do that anyway, So 846 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 3: I just feel like that's not fair. Like I can 847 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 3: see that her friends like, oh, plans have changed, but 848 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 3: also you agreed to that, Like you can't just back 849 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 3: out and be like, oh, by the way, you're in 850 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 3: a foreign country and now you're going to have to 851 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 3: change accommodation. I don't know about her, but I also 852 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 3: at four hundred dollars a night in Bali. That's expensive 853 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 3: to me. I don't know if that's just you guys, 854 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,799 Speaker 3: Like I don't know what your previous budget for accommodation was, 855 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 3: Like you know, you could spend thirty dollars a night 856 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,839 Speaker 3: in Bali and get something, and you could also spend 857 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,959 Speaker 3: a thousand dollars a night, so who knows. But I'm 858 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 3: the type of person that likes to feel really safe 859 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 3: and secure when I'm traveling, especially in foreign countries, So 860 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,320 Speaker 3: I wouldn't have been okay with like a thirty dollars 861 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 3: a night option. So like maybe that four hundred dollars 862 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 3: was being spent because it was like, you know, the safe, secure, 863 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 3: and now you're going to leave your friend hyen dry 864 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 3: to go and find more accommodation and spend beyond her 865 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 3: means to have that same level of safety. Like I 866 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 3: don't know, I don't feel okay about that. 867 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 4: No, I'd be curious to know why she changed, Like 868 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 4: did an emergency come up and she's got to get 869 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 4: home early because someone's done well? Is she just deciding 870 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 4: that she wants to go to a different country because 871 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 4: it's close by, Like I think that that definitely plays 872 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,359 Speaker 4: into it, and it sounds like maybe she hasn't thought 873 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 4: about it, because if they can change their accommodation, I'm 874 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 4: assuming that maybe it's one of those maybe you pay 875 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 4: a small deposit upfront and you pay the balance when 876 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 4: you get there, and so maybe the friend has just gone, oh, well, 877 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 4: we haven't paid for it yet, right, so like it's 878 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 4: not like you're out there. Maybe it hasn't computed in 879 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 4: her brain, yeah, decision, and maybe she just kind of went, oh, like, 880 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 4: it'll be easy, Like you can just find something by yourself, 881 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,720 Speaker 4: like we've done all of the rest of the trip cheaper, 882 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 4: you know, you'll be fine, so like, which I think 883 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 4: is very selfish, don't get me wrong, But maybe the 884 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 4: way that our listener can approach it is to kind 885 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 4: of highlight these things and say, hey, like I've looked, 886 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,719 Speaker 4: there are no other options. It's going to be so 887 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 4: expensive that I can't afford it, Like you're really kind 888 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 4: of screwing me over effectively by doing this, and we 889 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 4: had agreed and it's so soon that there's not much 890 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 4: that I can do. I feel like that's how I 891 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 4: would kind of approach bringing it up, because I agree, 892 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,280 Speaker 4: like I think it's very unfair to do that to somebody, 893 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 4: and if you had to change plans, if it was me, 894 00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 4: I would say, oh, well, I'll still pay my half. 895 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 4: It is but maybe you know, to play devil's advocate. 896 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 4: Maybe the friend has just not realized the impact. Has gone, 897 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,760 Speaker 4: Oh well, if we haven't paid for the accommodation, it's fine, 898 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 4: Like it's not like you're out of pocket. 899 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 2: Not really think it's the week before that's yeah. 900 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 3: And I can tell that they've already had this conversation 901 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 3: as well, because she said she isn't willing to put 902 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 3: anything in, but I think she should, because that's telling 903 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 3: me that you've already had the conversation and she said, well, 904 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 3: I'm not willing to do that, Like what are you 905 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 3: talking about? So this is like a secondary conversation. So 906 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 3: to me, that's even harder. It's not like, oh, I 907 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 3: think she should put something in. How do I approach it? 908 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 3: Like this is the second these said no, How do 909 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 3: I go back to her and say, well, actually, I 910 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 3: really think you should be doing this. 911 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 2: I don't know. It's an awkward conversation to have as. 912 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 4: Well, like, but also, what do you do? She just 913 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 4: said if she sticks for guns and says no, like 914 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,840 Speaker 4: you can't shake her down, Like it's kind of the 915 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 4: potentialist of the trip to Ruin. Yeah, the experience while traveling, 916 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 4: which is a little bit of a concern. 917 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like that at all. 918 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 3: I feel like she definitely should be paying for her 919 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 3: part because that was what was agreed to when you 920 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 3: booked the trip, when you booked flights and accommodation. It's 921 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 3: not oh, my friend's decided that her budget is different. Like, 922 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 3: I've just gotten back from a holiday, as you guys know, 923 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,840 Speaker 3: and for part of that holiday, my best friend Rose 924 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 3: she joined us. But it was a conversation that we had. 925 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 3: I said, okay, like how much are we budgeting per 926 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,959 Speaker 3: head for this trip before we even booked the accommodation, 927 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 3: And she was like, oh, I want to spend about 928 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,919 Speaker 3: this much, you know, per head, And I said, great, 929 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 3: no worries. And then you know, obviously I've got me 930 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,839 Speaker 3: and Steve and Harvey like we were working it all out. 931 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 3: We stayed in an apartment together, but we'd had that 932 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 3: solid conversation. If she'd backed out, let's be honest, like 933 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,840 Speaker 3: she wouldn't. That's not very her. But like, I have 934 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 3: no doubt she'd be like, well, we agreed to a 935 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 3: certain amount and then you went and booked this like 936 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 3: particular apartment because it accommodated all of us. Like, I 937 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 3: feel like she would be like, I can't come that, 938 00:40:58,320 --> 00:40:59,319 Speaker 3: I'm going to pay for my part. 939 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just how that would work. So I just 940 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:02,440 Speaker 2: look at it and go. 941 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,319 Speaker 3: I'd be pretty miffed too if someone backed out and 942 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 3: I was up for more money for something that could 943 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 3: have been different from the beginning. 944 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, totally.

Someone said, there's so many accommodation options 997 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 3: in BALI op finds something mid price and lux for 998 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 3: the same amount. 999 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 2: It's a good point. 1000 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 3: You definitely could do that, but I don't think that's 1001 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 3: fair to have to do that. Someone said the friend 1002 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,360 Speaker 3: needs to fork out for changing plants. That's the cost 1003 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:39,359 Speaker 3: of them changing their plans. Someone said she should still 1004 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 3: offer to pay for the accommodation, given she's pulling out 1005 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,319 Speaker 3: last minute. Someone else said, I would suggest looking for a. 1006 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,400 Speaker 2: New place, and then if that's not feasible, saying I 1007 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,439 Speaker 2: would cover it. I think that's fair. 1008 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 3: I go, Beck, is there any chance you could change 1009 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 3: accommodation to something cheaper so that, like, I don't have 1010 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 3: to spend this, right, that would be a nice way 1011 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,080 Speaker 3: of putting it. And then if I go, look, I 1012 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,359 Speaker 3: really couldn't find anything, it's still going to put me out, 1013 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,120 Speaker 3: all right, no worries, I'll cover your part. That could 1014 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,320 Speaker 3: be an easier way of going about it. Then everybody 1015 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:08,280 Speaker 3: might end up happy. 1016 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, but she said she looked and there wasn't really 1017 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,239 Speaker 4: anything available. She said that it was going to cost 1018 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 4: at least three hundred dollars. Yeah, but that's clearly not 1019 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 4: how the conversation went. Yeah, could have been a way 1020 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,919 Speaker 4: to approach it to begin with. Someone else said they're 1021 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 4: going to Bali. There's how many nice villas for like 1022 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,359 Speaker 4: fifty dollars a night. If you could send me those 1023 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 4: villas that if a group trip you guys see, someone 1024 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,799 Speaker 4: said it would suck. But would you want to pay 1025 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,840 Speaker 4: for a hotel when you're not staying there? No way, 1026 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,279 Speaker 4: I mean no, But it's not about paying for a 1027 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,560 Speaker 4: hotel when you're not there, it's about paying for as 1028 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 4: you said, changing your plans. 1029 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, if you didn't want to be up for 1030 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,360 Speaker 3: that cost, don't change your plan. Like, I don't know 1031 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 3: what your plan was, and as you said before, Jess, 1032 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 3: we don't know. It could be Yeah, it could be 1033 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 3: an emergency, and like you know, she has to spend 1034 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,240 Speaker 3: money on flights home, But like, I don't think that's 1035 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,399 Speaker 3: the case here. And we're just assuming it's because she's 1036 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 3: gotten a better offer, is what I'm going to assume. Yeah, 1037 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:02,880 Speaker 3: she's gotten a better off us she wants to go 1038 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 3: somewhere else with a different friend. Now, Like, no, I 1039 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,920 Speaker 3: don't necessarily agree. I think that while it does suck, 1040 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 3: you have to pay that fee for changing your plans, 1041 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 3: and if you can't afford that, well, don't change your plans. Yeah, 1042 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 3: someone else said the friend should be paying the difference 1043 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,399 Speaker 3: of the one hundred dollars a night for the three 1044 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:22,360 Speaker 3: hundred dollars hotel. 1045 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,080 Speaker 4: Oh, that's potentially a good compromise. So instead of paying 1046 00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:27,959 Speaker 4: two hundred bucks, you pay one hundred your friend. 1047 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 2: Doubt everyone kind of wins a little bit. 1048 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, And then the last one I'll share is 1049 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:35,799 Speaker 3: if you don't have a cash buffer, you shouldn't be 1050 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,279 Speaker 3: going on holiday, which seemed to be a conversation that 1051 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:39,480 Speaker 3: lots of people wanted to have. 1052 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,920 Speaker 2: But Beck disagrees, So I disagree. You just got to 1053 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 2: go on wing it. 1054 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 3: But that's why money is so fickle, right, Like you 1055 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,719 Speaker 3: shouldn't and it's all about financial literacy. And I say 1056 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,600 Speaker 3: you shouldn't because from my perspective you shouldn't, but you 1057 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,400 Speaker 3: go yolo. I know that that's your opinion, Victoria, and 1058 00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,520 Speaker 3: I do it anyway. And it's like, jes you've said 1059 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,319 Speaker 3: before that how many cents did you have in your 1060 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 3: account when you came back? 1061 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 4: You could it's like thirty six cents or something. Couldn't 1062 00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:07,280 Speaker 4: get a chocolate bar at the air. 1063 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 2: For But like we've all been there, Yeah, does that 1064 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:11,720 Speaker 2: mean we shouldn't have done it? Yeah? 1065 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:15,240 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, in hindsight, we probably shouldn't be better prepared. 1066 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 2: But did you die? No? No, exactly, so a great time. Yes, 1067 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:20,799 Speaker 2: don't get me wrong. 1068 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 3: My job is to give you the financial literacy that 1069 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 3: I think you deserve. 1070 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:26,760 Speaker 2: What you do with it up to you, babes. 1071 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to go on holiday to Japan and 1072 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,319 Speaker 3: not have any buffer and you're comfortable with that. 1073 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,439 Speaker 2: I'm proud of you, Thank you so much. 1074 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,839 Speaker 3: But you know yes, Like I know, I don't want 1075 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,799 Speaker 3: to say you know better, but you know what, my 1076 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,960 Speaker 3: opinion as a financial expert actually looks like yes, and 1077 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,439 Speaker 3: you're given the opportunity to choose. I don't think it's 1078 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,719 Speaker 3: fair when you don't have the opportunity to choose the 1079 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:47,319 Speaker 3: best thing for you. 1080 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:48,799 Speaker 2: I feel like this is. 1081 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 4: A very good lesson, ultimately in why you should have 1082 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,120 Speaker 4: a buffer, ideally when you travel, because you never know 1083 00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,120 Speaker 4: when something like this is going to happen, or when 1084 00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 4: you're gonna hurt yourself and you need to fly home 1085 00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:03,239 Speaker 4: like whatever. Like our listener is saying, she literally can't 1086 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 4: pay for this accommodation. Well, is the choice going to 1087 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:10,120 Speaker 4: be between either you know, ending up in some real sketch, 1088 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 4: last minute twenty dollars, Not that being cheap means it's sketchy, 1089 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 4: but you know, just finding something she can afford that 1090 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:20,080 Speaker 4: maybe even the safest option, or like convincing her friend 1091 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,439 Speaker 4: to stay like that. I guess to me, it's it's 1092 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 4: such a good example of why that buffer is important 1093 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,440 Speaker 4: so that you're not stuck with that choice of like, Oh, 1094 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,920 Speaker 4: if my friend doesn't pay me, what do I do? 1095 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, And that's not something travel insurance is going 1096 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,440 Speaker 3: to cover. Yeah, Like, that's not how that works. And 1097 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 3: I guess that's where I want to leave it. If 1098 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:41,280 Speaker 3: you can afford to travel, you can afford travel insurance. 1099 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 3: That's all I'll say about that. You don't want to 1100 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 3: have a buffer, I don't care. Just have travel insurance. 1101 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 3: That's my only non negotiable when it comes to travel. 1102 00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,719 Speaker 3: I just want you to have the financial education. What 1103 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,000 Speaker 3: you do with it is actually none of my business. 1104 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 3: So let's leave it there. 1105 00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 2: Guys. 1106 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,879 Speaker 3: I hope you have the best weekend and we'll see 1107 00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,720 Speaker 3: brighton early on Monday for a money diary. 1108 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,840 Speaker 2: I am back and I am so excited about it.
