Okay, 239 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 2: it doesn't anything that's just not meant to be there. 240 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 2: I see come to my front garden everywhere. 241 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, well maybe you can help me figure out 242 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 3: which I'm here for you.

She was wearing this 248 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:30,599 Speaker 3: top and I was like, oh my god, such a 249 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 3: nice top. Where you get that? And she was like, 250 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 3: I got it from Lost and Found? And I was 251 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 3: like that. I want to preface this because I know 252 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 3: that if you go into a Lost and Found, people 253 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 3: might come back for their items. But if you're going 254 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 3: into like. 255 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 2: Feel safe, it's slow, scary on she was saying hostels. 256 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 3: She was just traveling for a little bit. And also 257 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 3: you know gyms and things like that, if you like, ask. 258 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 2: The people there. 259 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 3: Like especially, I think it's safer with hostels because people 260 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 3: are coming and going, and if you're truly in a different, 261 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 3: different country, then it's a little bit safer. So maybe 262 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 3: not gyms, let's rule out gyms, but hostels, even if 263 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 3: you're not staying a hostile, even if you're not traveling, 264 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 3: you can theoretically literally if you just don't have the 265 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 3: money to buy yourself new clothes and you do want 266 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 3: to just see what's out there, and there are probably 267 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 3: this probably goes for like people who are literally homeless 268 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 3: right now as well, if they happen to be listening. 269 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 3: If you just need something something warm for the winter 270 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 3: and you just go into your hostel and say, hey, 271 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 3: how long. 272 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 2: Have these been here? 273 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 3: Are these people? 274 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 2: You know? 275 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 3: Have they left the country? 276 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 2: Can I take this has to be a no claim 277 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 2: period there? 278 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 4: Like he's there, Okay, well, I mean it depends place 279 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 4: to place. But my partner where he works, there's a 280 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 4: lot of lost and found stuff and they have like 281 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 4: a six month period. After six months they either donate it. 282 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 4: I think, like the staff are welcome to go through 283 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 4: if they want anything, and then it literally gets dropped 284 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 4: at up shop. Yeah, and you've got some really nice 285 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,479 Speaker 4: stuff about Loston founder. 286 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 2: Really nice.

I feel 290 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 3: like people sometimes just leave sulf so like I can't. 291 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 2: Makes sense. I feel like if they have a policy 292 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 2: of donating it after three months, like fair game. 293 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 3: Absolutely, it's all yours, so that's just an option. But 294 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 3: I thought that was really really clever. Okay, the next 295 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 3: one is from me. 296 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 2: You don't want it if you haven't come back for 297 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 2: it six months exactly. You know, needs plenty of time 298 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 2: for someone to remember that. And if it was like 299 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 2: a roll Legs watch, I'm sure they would have taken 300 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 2: it to the body cops. 301 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 4: Right. 302 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 3: Absolutely, I just feel like absolutely.

So it's like win 342 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 3: win win. 343 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 2: I love this for us ten. 344 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 4: You could print it on stick of paper, yeah, and 345 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 4: then put the stick of paper around exactly. 346 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 2: Or you could just do a terrible drawing and tell 347 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 2: the person that it's the thought that count. That's my theory. 348 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 2: That's my theory. All right, let's go to a really 349 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 2: quick break on the flip side.

Now, let's take a 365 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: listen to this week's money dilemma. 366 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 5: High She's on the money. I just have a question 367 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 5: regarding investment property. So me and my sister share an 368 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 5: investment property together. We are fifty to fifty in it, 369 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 5: and that mortgage currently sits at around two hundred thousand. Unfortunately, 370 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 5: we recently lost our dad and got an inheritance each 371 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 5: of about two hundred and fifty thousand. My sister is 372 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 5: really eager to pay off the investment property. She does 373 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 5: not have a mortgage herself. She rents, whereas me and 374 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 5: my partner have a mortgage of around four hundred and 375 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 5: fifty thousand for the house that we live in. We've 376 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 5: discussed it and think it would be wiser to put 377 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 5: the inheritance on the offset of our own home rather 378 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 5: than pay off the investment property, but my sister has 379 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 5: very You get a paid off and not have to 380 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 5: worry about it. I know two hundred thousand isn't a 381 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 5: very big mortgage at the moment, and there's a lot 382 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 5: of things to consider. Just wanting to know what your 383 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 5: thoughts are and what some of the tax implications can be. 384 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 2: Thanks, guys, Oh, I feel like this is a really 385 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 2: good one and one of those things I guess first 386 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 2: things first, Actually, let's rewind. I'm really sorry about your 387 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 2: duck because that sucks. But first things first, this is 388 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 2: a really good, I guess example of how different competing 389 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 2: financial goals are going to take shape once you purchase 390 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 2: a property with someone who's not your partner. And that 391 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 2: doesn't mean it's a negative thing. It just means that 392 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 2: we need to discuss it. Because if you have two 393 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars left on a property, that's one hundred 394 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 2: thousand dollars each, and your sister's probably like, cool, I've 395 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 2: got two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. I'll have one 396 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty grand leftover and no mortgage money win 397 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 2: for her. That makes sense. For you, you might have 398 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 2: done the maths and been like, actually, our family home mortgage, 399 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 2: it would be much better in an offset. That's what 400 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 2: we want to do. And I'd prefer to pay this 401 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars that I owe on this investment 402 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 2: property off over time. I think, guess what I'm going 403 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 2: to say when in dow zoom out. So let's look 404 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: at the bigger picture, Like, if you paid off this 405 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 2: in its entirety right now, is that actually the best 406 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: decision for you and your sister? Like if it's an 407 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 2: investment property, I don't have enough information, like is it 408 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 2: a positively good is it negatively gared? Like maybe there 409 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 2: could be some type of compromise and you pay off 410 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 2: a little bit so that the property does become completely 411 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 2: positively geared, so that there's no additions that are necessary 412 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 2: for you guys, and over time it just ticks along. 413 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 2: Maybe you could talk to your sister about what that 414 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 2: lumpsum could mean for her outside, Like what's the interest 415 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 2: rate on that mortgage? Let's pretend you went to Zella 416 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 2: and you've got a good interest rate on your mortgage. 417 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 2: The Australian share market is returning more than the interest 418 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 2: rates rewriting right now on mortgages, so it would actually 419 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 2: long term make more sense to not just pay that 420 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 2: off even though would feel good, but invest. So I 421 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 2: think it's a bigger conversation around Okay, what does that mean? 422 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 2: But also what does happen if your sister pays off 423 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 2: her entire portion. Is that a bad thing? Does that 424 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 2: mean that your sister's expecting to pay her one hundred 425 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 2: thousand dollars off and you have to do the same thing? 426 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 2: Or are you happy to take on the one hundred 427 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 2: thousand dollars left on the mortgage and be like, yes, sister, 428 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 2: you're completely paid off. That's all good, But I still 429 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,959 Speaker 2: want to have that financial burden because it's still going 430 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 2: to be the same amount that you're paying every single month. 431 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 2: If your sister extinguishes her portion, Does that make sense. 432 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, you just might want to increase in your interesting 433 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 4: they're splitting the cost of interest. 434 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 2: Yes, but it would then only be on one hundred 435 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 2: thousand dollars instead of two hundred thousand dollars, So it 436 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 2: should all come out in the wash technically. And I 437 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 2: mean that's up to you to decide whether you put 438 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 2: another twenty five thousand dollars into that, so then your 439 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 2: mortgage on that investment property is only seventy five or 440 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 2: something like that. But for me, it would be about 441 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 2: looking at what the rental yield on that investment property is, like, 442 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 2: what it looks like over time, what's the plan for it, like, 443 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 2: are you planning on selling it? Because for me, if 444 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 2: the plan is to sell a property, you don't necessarily 445 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 2: need to extinguish the mortgage first, especially with post tax dollars, 446 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 2: to then sell it and get the money back out 447 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 2: that way. So what's the long term plan for this property? 448 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 2: Would you be looking at, Jess? If you and I 449 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 2: purchased a property together and one of us wanted to 450 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 2: get rid of our mortgage and the other wanted to 451 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 2: keep it. 452 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 4: I don't have a good reason for this, but my 453 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 4: instinct was, just like our listener, like I would want 454 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 4: to pay off my own mortgage first. 455 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 2: I don't really know why. I don't know if it's 456 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 2: because to me over your own head. Yeah, I don't 457 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 2: know if it's like. 458 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 4: The emotional thing or like in my mind, I guess 459 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 4: you know, I'm like that push comes to shove if you, 460 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 4: you know, God forbid something goes wrong. The first thing 461 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 4: I'd sell would be the investment property before my family home, 462 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 4: And so for me, it makes sense to secure that 463 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 4: family home as much as possible. But I can see 464 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 4: that it could potentially cause conflict, you know, with if 465 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 4: you're wanting to do one thing and your sister's wanting 466 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 4: to do another, and there's obviously then the complexities of like, 467 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 4: as you were saying, if she pays off her portion 468 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 4: and you don't pay off your portion, like, I can 469 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 4: see that that's quite messy, which is also not ideal. 470 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 4: But yeah, but honestly, no good reason. I think I 471 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 4: would go with my mortgage. I mean I would probably 472 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 4: as you were saying, run the numbers. That's probably the 473 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 4: smart practical way to do it. That My just first 474 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 4: instinct listening to the dilemma was oh, like, I think 475 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 4: I would probably put it in my off personally. 476 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I also think we need to storry to jump 477 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 2: in here talk about the difference between tenants in common 478 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 2: versus joint tenants, because I don't know how you own that. 479 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 2: And so if your sister pays off her fifty percent 480 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 2: and it depends like the liability if you are joint tenants, 481 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 2: would actually mean that she still has that over her head, yeah, 482 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 2: which is which is technically not fair. But then you 483 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 2: could also draw up an agreement that says oh no, no, no, 484 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 2: like it's definitely my responsibility. But on the flip side, 485 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 2: if your tenants in common where you have a defined 486 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 2: share and you've paid off your defined share, like it 487 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 2: shouldn't be an issue. But anyway, just probably thinking too 488 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 2: deep about it once again, Beck, what would you do? 489 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: Well? 490 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,719 Speaker 3: I actually just have a question about So offset account 491 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 3: is like, say, like you've you or you're paying for 492 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 3: your mortgage, and then you have an account that's linked 493 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 3: to your MORTGAGEE the offset account is like let's say, 494 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 3: for example, you have one hundred dollars in your mortgage 495 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 3: and then fifty dollars in your offset. You're only paying 496 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 3: interest on the remaining fifty Is that right? I'm retiring, 497 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 3: I'm retired. I don't even I don't even need to 498 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 3: be here. You've got this What if like, and I'm 499 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 3: not suggesting that our listener do this, but if they 500 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 3: put one hundred thousand dollars in the offset and then 501 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 3: the system pays one hundred thousand, does it just like 502 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 3: is that like does that mean that they're paying zero interest? 503 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, So there are people out there who still 504 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 2: have their entire mortgage facility, and if their house is 505 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 2: worth five hundred thousand dollars, they might have five hundred 506 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 2: thousand dollars in their sure in their offset and they 507 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 2: just don't pay anything each month and it offsets it. 508 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 2: But for some reason they might decide that still having 509 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 2: access to the mortgage facility makes sense. Now you might 510 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 2: go VI, that makes absolutely no sense, like, wouldn't you 511 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 2: just want to be nil all. Well, firstly, this is 512 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 2: actually quite common for people coming up to retirement, where 513 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 2: you know, they might be in their sixties and they 514 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 2: know if they went to a bank because one of 515 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 2: them is just retired, they would never get that mortgage again. 516 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 2: And they like the idea that they could have access 517 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 2: to the capital and the money in their offset to 518 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 2: play with. Maybe they're like, oh, it's a part of 519 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 2: our retirement plan. I don't want to be niil all 520 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 2: and just have a mortgage that's a zero and like 521 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 2: mortgage is gone, Like I don't mind if I go 522 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 2: back into debt a little bit because I took out 523 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 2: eighty thousand dollars to buy a caravan, because they probably 524 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 2: wouldn't get that on personal finance. So sometimes people keep 525 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 2: their mortgage facility around, so there's a lot of to 526 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 2: and fro. But yes, you could technically put the money 527 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 2: in there and offset it. But what this money direst 528 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,719 Speaker 2: or this listener has written in and said, is she 529 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 2: wants that money in her current family homes offset And 530 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 2: I'm assuming it's because it's probably a higher interest rate. 531 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 2: And even if it's not a higher interest rate, it's 532 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 2: clearly making her feel more secure. Yes, and that's really 533 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 2: important to take infoferent generation too. 534 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 3: That's so fair. I think I probably do the same 535 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 3: thing in that case. Yes, simply feel like security. And yeah, 536 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 3: I guess if you do, like you don't really have 537 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 3: the emotional attachment to the investment property. So yeah, I mean, yeah, 538 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 3: I can see it. 539 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 2: I'm like thinking about this as much as I can now. 540 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 2: And I think that if this was my sister and 541 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 2: I and my sister was like, vey, I want to 542 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 2: put my one hundred grand in and paid off, I 543 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 2: think I would ask her if she could just put 544 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 2: it into the offset account and I continue to pay 545 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 2: the remainder of the mortgage because it would drop the 546 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 2: interest payments down to looking like it was only quote 547 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars, and that can then be my 548 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 2: portion and I can slowly pay it off over time. 549 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 2: But then I could like sell it to my sister 550 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 2: that if that situation ever changes, you can take the 551 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 2: money back out, like we don't need to sell the 552 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 2: property to get your money back out, and then if 553 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 2: you needed it for like another home deposit in the future, 554 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 2: or like building wealth in a different way, like you 555 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 2: could access it. So maybe that's a good way of 556 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 2: going about it. So like your sister can pay her 557 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 2: a portion, you pay yours, you do the mortgage, your payments, 558 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 2: but I would talk to your bank about that first 559 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 2: as well, talk to your broker actually about how that works, 560 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 2: because there might be you know, some loans. You might 561 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 2: not know this, but some loans have contribution caps, so 562 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,959 Speaker 2: they might say you can only contribute up to, you know, 563 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 2: twenty four thousand dollars a year on your mortgage, which 564 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 2: obviously you need to dot all the i's and cross 565 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 2: all the teeth if you're concerned, shameless plug. But Xella 566 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 2: Money could literally do that for you, and it might 567 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 2: be a good idea. Now, if you're in a situation 568 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,959 Speaker 2: where you're like, oh, like, we could pay it off, 569 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 2: it's only two hundred grand, maybe refinance it as well, 570 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 2: get a better rate, pay off you one hundred grand 571 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 2: of your sister's things, or put that in the offset 572 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 2: and then you're paying even less as well. That's a 573 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 2: great everyone can come out in the wash very comfortably. 574 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 2: But again, it's such a personal decision because, like money 575 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 2: isn't inherently right or wrong, Like there's no right answer here. 576 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 2: It's like, well, what do you feel most comfortable with? Sure, 577 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 2: it's an interesting dilemma, but above all, we're really. 578 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 3: Sorry too for your loss. 579 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, sending you lot. Yeah, everybody who gets an inheritance, 580 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 2: I feel like there's this idea that, oh my god, 581 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 2: you got an inheritance, that's so lucky. It set you up. 582 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 2: Like I don't know one person who got an inheritance 583 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 2: who wouldn't immediately give it back for even like five 584 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 2: minutes more with the person that they lost. Yeah, Like, oh, 585 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 2: it's a shitty position to be in. So I am sorry. 586 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 2: But moving onwards, we have a DM that we're received 587 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 2: this week. Would you guys like to hear it? 588 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 4: Yeah? 589 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So here's our DM. Hey, she's on 590 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 2: the money. How do you figure out what you actually 591 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 2: want to say? For I feel like I'm at an 592 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 2: age they're twenty three. I should be saving for the 593 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 2: big things in life, like a car, a house, or retirement. 594 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 2: But I also have a really pessimistic view towards that. 595 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 2: I have a car that runs. It's not flashy or new, 596 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 2: but it's nice enough. I don't feel like buying a 597 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 2: house is in reach right now due to the market. 598 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 2: For example, I live on the Gold Coast, so that 599 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 2: feels like it's too big of a goal to even 600 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 2: think about. And I'm slowly chipping away at my investment portfolio. 601 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 2: But to be honest, saving for retirement doesn't light me up. 602 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 2: So my head goes, oh, you should save for a trip, 603 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 2: But that feels irresponsible and silly. Does that make sense. 604 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 2: I want to be able to save my money and 605 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 2: I have a goal of five thousand dollars at the moment, 606 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 2: but I don't know why, so it's making the goal 607 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 2: feel much harder to reach. Is this relatable? 608 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 3: Oh my god, I feel so seen. 609 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 2: I don't know why we're doing this. 610 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I feel like I've never saved. But also, 611 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 3: you know, I'm also really really bad as money, as 612 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 3: everyone knows, but I've never just really had a save 613 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 3: it back with money fueinantially illiterate. 614 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 2: Eyes. We're learning, we're growing, You're getting some new tools 615 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 2: and resources that you didn't have before. I think we're 616 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 2: all just out here doing the best that we can. Yes, 617 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 2: that's living the life that we want to leave. 618 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 3: Thank you so much. 619 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 2: That's actually is a bad Like there's a decision if 620 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 2: you go V would you have spent X on X? 621 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 2: Well maybe not, but then I would go, hey, back, 622 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 2: I spent this amount of money on this other thing, 623 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 2: and you'd be like, what the hell are you doing? 624 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 3: Like, yeah, that's true. I know you're just doing you that. 625 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 2: Thank you. It's important. 626 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 3: Thank you. Yeah, I feel like saving for something. I've 627 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 3: also been saved. It's kind of like I just can't 628 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 3: see beyond, Like I don't actually know what I'm saving for. 629 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 3: I'm just like, I guess I'm saving. If I can, 630 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 3: I'll save, but I'm like, what the hell for? Like, 631 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 3: I actually don't think I'll be able to buy an 632 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 3: apartment anytime soon. I don't really. 633 00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 2: If we work at it, you will buy an apartment. 634 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 3: That's true, But I don't even have like the passion 635 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 3: for that to feel, you know, oh my god, Like 636 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 3: I want to put a thousand dollars away every month 637 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 3: to get so it's like it's a big goal. So 638 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 3: I totally understand what this person is saying, But I 639 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 3: think that even if you just are saving so that 640 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 3: you are not I guess it's really screwed if something 641 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 3: goes wrong. So like, as you say, like just having 642 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 3: an emergency emergency fund, but if you live like me, 643 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 3: that emergency fund could also be everyone's going to Japan 644 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 3: next year and I actually really want to go with them, 645 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 3: and I emergency.

But I get it because I think that 668 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 2: so many times we feel the pressure to make compromises 669 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 2: that are compromising our lifestyle but don't actually ultimately help 670 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 2: with the long term. 671 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 3: Exactly exactly, But I'm just saying that the experiences and 672 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 3: having fun and doing things that make you feel happy 673 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 3: and joyful and spending time with your friends and all 674 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 3: this stuff, and those things are so important. So if 675 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 3: it's travel, i'd say that's an investment. I like that. 676 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 2: I like that. I'm going to flip to the savior. Yes, 677 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 2: yes we should miss I can save even when I'm broke. 678 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 2: Talk to me. I agree on some level. 679 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 4: I think that you're right, like you do need to 680 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 4: find joy in the things that you're doing. I think 681 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 4: I'm not entirely sure. If our listener is saying five thousand, 682 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 4: the five thousand that she's saving towards will be like 683 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 4: all the money that she has, Like currently she has 684 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 4: no money and she's saving. If that's the case, I 685 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 4: completely agree, like emergency fund should be your first priority 686 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 4: because you need to have something there in case of whatever. 687 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 3: It may be. 688 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 4: I think you need to figure out what does bring 689 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 4: you joy. So if it is the travel and that's 690 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 4: what you're choosing to prioritize, it's okay to prioritize that 691 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 4: over more traditional quote unquote goals like purchasing a house 692 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 4: or a wedding. 693 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 2: Or traditional goals are literally bullshit, Like you don't have 694 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 2: to do anything in this life that doesn't align with 695 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 2: your values. 696 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 4: Absolutely, So if travel is what really lights you up, 697 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 4: I think definitely prioritize that. The one thing that I 698 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 4: would say is, and I mean, I don't know anything 699 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 4: about where our listeners sitting in terms of like their 700 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 4: own journey for financial literacy and stuff. But I was 701 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 4: never excited by the idea of saving for retirement until 702 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 4: I understood the fact that like investing, for example, is 703 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 4: free money. 704 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:04,479 Speaker 2: Free money. 705 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like a switch in my head. It 706 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 4: was like, oh my god, once I understood that by 707 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 4: doing this, I get all this money for free, you know, 708 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 4: pending marketing. 709 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 2: And so far it's been going well, it. 710 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 4: Has been going on earan, like in my investment portfolio, 711 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 4: which is not particularly big. I think currently if I 712 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 4: were to sell, I'd be up like three grand, Like 713 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 4: that's three grand you didn't have before correct, three grand 714 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 4: effectively free money. And so you know, even if you're 715 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 4: looking at lot a high interest savings account or something 716 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 4: like that. For me, that was a really good switch 717 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 4: and a motivator. That's not going to be the case 718 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 4: for everybody. Like you know, my money might not be 719 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 4: something that's a priority to you, But I would say, 720 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 4: maybe explore all the different options and make sure you 721 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 4: really understand what that looks like for your potential future. 722 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 4: You said you kind of want to buy a house, 723 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 4: but you don't think it's achievable. Talk to a broker, 724 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 4: see where you would need to be, because you would 725 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 4: be amazed at how many schemes there are that can 726 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 4: help you get in with the much lower deposit than 727 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 4: you would maybe think. And you know, there are all 728 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 4: of these different avenues and options. So I would say, 729 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 4: and again maybe this is coming back to the type 730 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 4: of person I am. I like to have all of 731 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 4: the information before I make a choice, but like, really 732 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 4: look into all of these different things and what that 733 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 4: could look like and what input that would take from you, 734 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 4: and if at the end of that year, go no, 735 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 4: I just want to spend the next five years traveling. 736 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 4: Travel like that is okay, and do that and enjoy 737 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 4: that and don't feel guilty about that. But I would 738 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 4: just say, make sure you have all the information, because 739 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 4: I would hate for you to make a choice, because 740 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 4: you know, I can't afford to buy a house, so 741 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 4: I'm just going to spend the money because can't take 742 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 4: it with me when I die, like you were saying back, 743 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 4: and then you know, a couple of years later, you go, oh, 744 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 4: if I had known X y Z, I actually could 745 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 4: have bought a house a couple of years ago. And 746 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 4: that's something that I would have wanted. But you shouldn't 747 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 4: feel bad about your priorities. 748 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I think that you said something, or our 749 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 2: listener wrote in and said, like, I think I'm just pessimistic, 750 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 2: And I think that's important to dress because human beings 751 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 2: are inherently pessimistic, because if we go back in time, 752 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 2: none of us could live in a cave. But back then, 753 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 2: being pessimistic was a survival instinct and expecting the worst 754 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 2: and getting the best was a literal survival tool to 755 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 2: go like, oh, if I go out, there might be 756 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 2: a threat. Like and I think that that is a 757 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 2: protective measure that we still implement today, whether that is 758 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 2: us protecting our emotions because we're like, oh, I don't 759 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 2: even like them kind of vibes, or oh, I don't 760 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 2: even want to buy a property, when maybe deep down 761 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 2: you do because you just don't want to put yourself 762 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 2: in a situation where you feel at risk. Right, So, 763 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:44,280 Speaker 2: I think that having conversations and learning more about financial 764 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 2: literacy and what it could mean, and just exploring opportunities, 765 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 2: you don't have to do these things. Like my job, 766 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 2: or the job I've given myself, is to give you 767 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 2: all of the tools and resources that I believe you 768 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 2: deserve to make decisions that are in line with your values. 769 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,240 Speaker 2: And that does not mean that everybody should be investing 770 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,360 Speaker 2: in the share market. It doesn't mean that everybody should be, 771 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 2: you know, buying property. Like, I want you to have 772 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,240 Speaker 2: the financial freedom to live the life that you are crafting, 773 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 2: but I can't tell you what your values are. That's 774 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 2: why I'm so like, oh, think about your money story, 775 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 2: think about these things because I can push you so far, 776 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 2: but you can't lead a horse to water and then 777 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 2: expect them that they will immediately drink. Right, So I 778 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 2: think you need to do some internal work about, well, 779 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 2: what are your value systems? Like, let's talk about this pessimism. 780 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 2: Where is it coming from? Is it because your money 781 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 2: story is telling you that it never happened for your 782 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 2: parents and every family member that you've got has never 783 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,399 Speaker 2: owned property, and therefore this blueprint has been set for you, 784 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,240 Speaker 2: so you just expect you will follow suit. That doesn't 785 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 2: have to be the reality of your future. Like just 786 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 2: because you've seen it portrayed that way doesn't mean that 787 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 2: you aren't completely in control of your money journey. Like 788 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 2: anybody at any stage can go Nope, that's not for 789 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 2: me anymore. It's really hard. It's not like a easy 790 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,959 Speaker 2: like I just wake up today and decided to be rich, 791 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 2: like if only, if only right? But like, if you 792 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 2: want something bad enough, you can make it happen. And 793 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 2: the She's on the Money community has taught us that. 794 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 2: Like we've had people who have gone from being dead 795 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 2: broke in hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debt 796 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 2: to starting businesses to you know, investing hundreds of thousands 797 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 2: of dollars to becoming financially free. So I think it's 798 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,839 Speaker 2: important to kind of like go, okay, cool. Why why 799 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 2: am I not even engaged in this? Is it because 800 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 2: it is overwhelming? Is it because I don't know what 801 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 2: I even want to do with my degree or even 802 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,439 Speaker 2: want to do for work or whatever that is? Jess, 803 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 2: you touched on something that I think is really disengaging, 804 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 2: and that's this concept of retirement. Like in my head. 805 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 2: In my head, people who retire they have like a 806 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 2: work chrisma, like a work party, and they get a 807 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 2: col's cake and they stand around in their tea room 808 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 2: and they go yay friends retiring, and they have little flags. 809 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,439 Speaker 2: And there's nothing sexy about retirement to me. But there's 810 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 2: a lot that sexy about financial freedom, Like the idea 811 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,319 Speaker 2: that I'm going to get to a point in my 812 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,799 Speaker 2: life and I'm going to have enough income from passive investments, 813 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,240 Speaker 2: meaning I could not go to work and still afford brunch, 814 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 2: still afford coffee, still be able to travel. Like to me, 815 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 2: that excites me. So I think it's about I get 816 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,240 Speaker 2: that you're not engaged with this concept of retirement because neither. 817 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 2: And I know that Jess. That was something where I 818 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 2: was like, do you want to talk about retirement and 819 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 2: you were like absolutely not. But then I was like, well, 820 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 2: so did you know you can get free money? And 821 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 2: you're like, sorry, what was that? I wasn't listening? Can 822 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 2: you start again? And I think it's really important to 823 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 2: kind of educate yourself on what that can provide, because 824 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 2: if you love travel, imagine having an investment portfolio that 825 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 2: paid you a passive income that meant you could travel 826 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 2: every single year without question, without having to be like, oh, 827 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 2: I wonder if I'll be able to afford it. No, no, no, 828 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 2: You set yourself up so you could afford it, and 829 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 2: a lot of these systems, once you've decided on your values, 830 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 2: we can set up in the background, whether that's contributing 831 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 2: more to your superannuation and asking your employer to do 832 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 2: that on your behalf so you don't have to think 833 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 2: about it again, or whether that is you know, automating 834 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 2: your cash flow so when money comes into your account, 835 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,479 Speaker 2: you have a direct debit that goes straight out into 836 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 2: an investment or straight out into your savings account, so 837 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 2: that you don't have to think about money all the time. 838 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 2: I think there's this massive misconception that to be good 839 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 2: at money you need to be consistently like counting your 840 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,759 Speaker 2: pennies and checking your bank account and doing all these things. 841 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 2: Like no, implementing good systems is the key to success. Ye, Like, 842 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,280 Speaker 2: it's not something like I don't check my bank account 843 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,359 Speaker 2: every day. I don't look at these things and that's 844 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 2: a privilege. But the privilege has come from implementing clean 845 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 2: systems because I don't really want to do that every day. Yeah. 846 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's a really tough economic time right now. 847 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,879 Speaker 4: You have a point about, like, you know, feeling pessimistic, 848 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 4: and to be honest, I can totally agree with that. 849 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 4: I think that it's just overwhelming and scary, not even 850 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 4: just in the financial world, but the political world and 851 00:38:58,360 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 4: you know, all of the things that are happening in 852 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 4: other right now. I feel like it feels heavy to 853 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 4: just be alive, right and it's right, Yeah, sometimes it 854 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 4: just feels hard, and that is really normal, I think, 855 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,320 Speaker 4: and that it makes sense that that would then bleed 856 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,439 Speaker 4: into something as significant as your finances because you're trying 857 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 4: to think about your future, you know, well, oh my god, 858 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 4: the future feels very scary and very unsure and very unstable, 859 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 4: and I feel like that could maybe plain into it 860 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 4: as well. But I just want to say that you're. 861 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 2: Not alone in that, because I feel like that a 862 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 2: lot too, And you don't want to hear this, But 863 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,319 Speaker 2: the best way to protect yourself and your future is 864 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 2: to care about your financial literacy. The best way to 865 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,359 Speaker 2: put yourself in in the best position, whether you are 866 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 2: in significant debt or have a massive income, is to 867 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,360 Speaker 2: care about your cash flow. Is to do a budget, 868 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 2: is to do all the things that you are probably 869 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:48,879 Speaker 2: avoiding because it is going to mean that you have clarity. Yeah, 870 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 2: and even if the clarity shows you that things looking 871 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,759 Speaker 2: a bit bleak, you would prefer to know now and 872 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 2: be able to address it. Then get another ten years 873 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 2: down the track and like, oh, that's even worse. Like 874 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 2: we can do so much today. That puts you in 875 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 2: the best possible position, like let's do it, let's do it. Whatever, 876 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 2: will say. So lots of opinions, and I feel like 877 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 2: it was a really relatable one. Right, So we went 878 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,400 Speaker 2: to the community and we said, do you find it 879 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 2: hard to set goals because of what you think you 880 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 2: should be doing? And forty percent of our community said 881 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 2: oh my god, yes, twenty seven percent said sometimes I 882 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 2: try hard to tune that out, and thirty three percent 883 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 2: of you said no, I'm just doing what works for me. 884 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 2: Teach us your way. 885 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. 886 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,279 Speaker 2: We also asked do you think clear goals help you 887 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 2: keep control of your finances? Seventy eight percent of you 888 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 2: said yes, or my money is a mess, and twenty 889 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 2: two percent of you said nope, I'm fine without them. 890 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 4: Whatever works for you when I need to judge. 891 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,320 Speaker 2: Eye But also like I could never. 892 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 4: I know when my type, I asked, could simply not. 893 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 2: But I absolutely not. We obviously then said can we 894 00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 2: please have your two cents? Some and I have a 895 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 2: lot of comments, so I'm going to go through them. 896 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 2: One person said, I think it's okay for people to 897 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 2: have different goals at different ages and stages. Absolutely agree, 898 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 2: So many of you replied, I relate so hard to this. 899 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 2: Someone else said, struggling with goals, think of money as 900 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 2: a journey, not a destination, because it's about process. 901 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 3: So true. 902 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:20,879 Speaker 2: I love this. I feel like all of you guys 903 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,239 Speaker 2: should actually host the show. Someone else said, I think 904 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 2: you should think of investments as something different rather than 905 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 2: your retirement, same page as me. Another person said, you 906 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 2: can save for a holiday and a house. The house 907 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 2: doesn't need to be clear in order to save towards it. 908 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 3: That's true. Yeah, you can do multiple things at once. 909 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 2: Someone else said, I'm a little bit in the same 910 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 2: boat of not knowing what to save for. So I 911 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 2: have just a big savings account and then a general 912 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,720 Speaker 2: savings account. The big one is for life things, whether 913 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 2: it's a house or something big that I decide on 914 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 2: in the future, and then general savings can be for holidays. 915 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 3: I like that cool. 916 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 2: Someone else said, I'm not very goal oriented. I save 917 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 2: because I can, and then it's there if I need something. 918 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 4: Totally a good point. Not everyone does work that I particularly. 919 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 4: I feel like a lot of neurodivergin people probably approach 920 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 4: you and we don't know what we want you always 921 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,759 Speaker 4: you either hyper fixate and you're like, this is all 922 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 4: I'm doing, or it can maybe feel a little bit 923 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 4: intangible and therefore more challenging, which is also normal. 924 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 5: Yeah. 925 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:23,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, encrusted right now, Yeah, but very valid. Like, you 926 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 2: don't need to have goals, but you do need to 927 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 2: care about future you. Yes, So I think that you 928 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 2: don't need to be clear on it. But we do 929 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 2: need to be clear that future you deserves the best, 930 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 2: and we're going to treat them that way. Someone said, 931 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 2: this is one hundred percent me. I'm saving, but what for? 932 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 2: I think about spending it, but then I don't because 933 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 2: I fear it's a waste. It's hard. Yeah, someone else said, 934 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 2: life is short but also long. I try to balance 935 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:48,240 Speaker 2: goals for both. 936 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 3: You never know, you never know. 937 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 2: And then someone else said, maybe just start with one 938 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 2: goal and that goal is an emergency fund. 939 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 3: That's a great idea. 940 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 2: I really love. For me. 941 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 3: It's like, what are you saving for? Financial freedom? 942 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 2: I just want to reach, Like do you want me 943 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:04,839 Speaker 2: free money? 944 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:05,279 Speaker 4: Yeah? 945 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 2: Don't free money? What I want exactly? And I feel 946 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 2: like you are a do what you want kind of person, 947 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,319 Speaker 2: Like you don't need to buy a house, you don't 948 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 2: need to organize like a plan for an apartment. But 949 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 2: like Beck, you imagine how much do what you want? 950 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 2: You could do if you didn't have to come to 951 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,719 Speaker 2: work today. I know you could sleep in you could 952 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,280 Speaker 2: lay in the grass, you could get six billion vapes 953 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 2: like you could do you but you need cash to 954 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 2: fund that lifestyle. 955 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,360 Speaker 4: But I'd still be here lots of people don't have 956 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 4: houses and stuff too, like, yeah for every. 957 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,959 Speaker 2: Oh my god, I just actually finished it's coming out soon. 958 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 2: I just finished recording a money diary. Was someone who said, basically, 959 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 2: I have six figures in my investment portfolio, six figures 960 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 2: in my super six figure income, and I don't think 961 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 2: I want to buy property, not for me. And I 962 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 2: looked at their savings they are saving. They have one 963 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,479 Speaker 2: hundred and ten thousand dollars in an investment platform right now, 964 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 2: saving two and a half or two two hundred dollars 965 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,880 Speaker 2: each and every single month, which is so much money, right, 966 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 2: But I worked out that when they retire, they're going 967 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 2: to have about five million dollars in investments. Crazy and 968 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,919 Speaker 2: no plans for property. But do you know what five 969 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:12,920 Speaker 2: million dollars in their investment is going to mean when 970 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,240 Speaker 2: they retire? What an income of two hundred and seventy 971 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:17,439 Speaker 2: five thousand dollars a year. 972 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 4: That is very feeling. 973 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 2: But do you know how much whatever you want that means? Yeah, 974 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,160 Speaker 2: that's so true. And they were like, oh, I don't know, 975 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:26,799 Speaker 2: I'll have to work it out because I have to 976 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,720 Speaker 2: pay rent. And I was like, babe, with only seventy 977 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,759 Speaker 2: five thousand dollars has an income, you'll always be able 978 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 2: to pay rent. You are fine. Anyway. This is probably 979 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 2: also a really good time to do a little bit 980 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 2: of a shameless plug Jess and Beck, because we have 981 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,399 Speaker 2: just launched our first ever Black Friday sale, and it's 982 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,800 Speaker 2: like kind of a way to divert you from actual 983 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 2: shopping and into investing in yourself.
