I think I got 172 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 6: the mindset of splurging once I bought my first house. 173 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 6: I was like, yes, I have a house. I can 174 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 6: go and do whatever I want now with my money. 175 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 6: But I've soon realized that just having an investment property 176 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 6: doesn't necessarily mean I'm set up just. 177 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 5: Because of that. 178 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 6: So I'm starting to rein it back in now that 179 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 6: I finally have a house that I can live in myself. 180 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 3: I feel like we need to go through that period though, 181 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: to learn like what your breadths are and what. 182 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: That actually means. 183 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 3: And I mean, you've clearly learned from it, so I 184 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 3: don't think it's a bad thing. It's just part of 185 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 3: your journey, right, Yeah, all right, And last question before 186 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 3: we go to a really quick break and I can 187 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 3: dive into even more nitty gritty, is if we asked 188 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 3: you to give yourself a money grade, what would that 189 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 3: grade be? 190 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 6: I think I would give myself a B or a 191 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 6: B plus. So I think I have all the tools 192 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 6: that I need to be able to set myself up. 193 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 6: It's basically just implementing them and continuing to stay like that. 194 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 6: Now that I've just bought a house, I can finally 195 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 6: get into it without all the little extra bits of 196 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 6: money that you know, you find that you spend. 197 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it makes sense. What do you think it 198 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 3: would take to get to an A or an A plus? 199 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 6: So for me to get to an A, I would 200 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 6: like to be more regularly investing in the share market, 201 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 6: making it a part of my budget and something that 202 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 6: I do on a regular basis, as opposed to just 203 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 6: doing it when I have a bit of extra money. 204 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: I love that. 205 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 3: I feel like you're really clear. Sometimes I ask people 206 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 3: and they're like, oh, I'm not really sure, but you 207 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 3: clearly have some steps to get yourself into the best 208 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 3: financial position. I want to dive more into that. Though, 209 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 3: after this very quick break, don't go anywhere. 210 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 4: Welcome back, money, deris. I have a question about finances 211 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 4: and your relationship because you said in your letter you 212 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 4: wrote to us that you really don't want to be 213 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 4: relying on a partner and that's important to you. But 214 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 4: then on the flip side of that, your partner works 215 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 4: in finance and so you mentioned that you know, he's 216 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 4: kind of maybe someone who held that knowledge a bit, 217 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 4: and you're really working on that through listening to the 218 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 4: pod educating yourself. But I think often when we're in 219 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 4: a situation like that and our partner or someone we 220 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 4: care about knows more than us about something, it's really 221 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 4: easy to kind of rely on their input or kind 222 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 4: of let them take the lead in that area that 223 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 4: they specialize in. 224 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: So how are you kind. 225 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 4: Of balancing those two almost conflicting desires. 226 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 5: So it's actually quite interesting. 227 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 6: I'm the one who pays all of our bills and 228 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 6: make sure that they're all paid on time, so I 229 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 6: actually take the lead in the finances in our relationship. 230 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 6: He did sort of help me out with the shares 231 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 6: and sort of getting started on what to invest in, 232 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 6: but other than that, I was pretty much set up 233 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 6: before I met him. So I actually don't really find 234 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 6: that we have any issues in that aspect, because yeah, 235 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 6: I was already set up before we met. But I 236 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 6: have found that when overhear conversations that he's having, or 237 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 6: I hear something on the podcast and I go and 238 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 6: talk to. 239 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 5: Him about it, he's very shocked and surprised that I 240 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 5: have to understand what he's talking a. 241 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 6: Lot of the times, so he actually has said that 242 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 6: I'm probably the most financially literate person who's not in finance. 243 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 2: I lot. 244 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: I feel like everyone in our communities like that. 245 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 3: I had that conversation, Like Jess and I recently had 246 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 3: our book tour, and it gave us the opportunity to 247 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 3: talk to so many beautiful community members and they're all like, oh, yeah, 248 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 3: I know this, this, this, and this, and I'm just like, 249 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 3: holy moly, you guys are so educated. I am so proud, 250 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 3: Like it makes me insanely happy to know that. You know, 251 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 3: it sounds lame, but like you tell your partner something 252 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 3: and he's like, holy moly, money diarist, Like where did 253 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 3: that come from? Because I don't think we give ourselves 254 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 3: enough credit for how complex these things can become. So 255 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 3: it's one thing to go, Okay, I know how to 256 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 3: put together a budget, but then when you're talking about 257 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 3: the difference between a managed fund and in ETF and 258 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 3: you're starting investing, like genuinely, that does take a little 259 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 3: bit for us to wrap our heads around. So I 260 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 3: am so proud of you, Like I'm so happy to 261 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 3: hear that and I also side note here it's kind 262 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 3: of like the plumber who has a leaky tap at home. 263 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 3: My partner pays all the bills. I don't want to 264 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 3: even look at that. I'm like, I look at my clients' 265 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 3: bills each and every single day, like I'm doing all 266 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 3: of it. Don't even don't even talk to me about it. 267 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 3: So I'm money arrest. I'm not surprised to hear that 268 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 3: your partner lets you you take the lead on that. 269 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: Because I do the same thing in my relationship. 270 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 6: No, he definitely takes the backstep when it comes to 271 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 6: our finances. 272 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting, right, all right, Next question I've got. 273 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 3: I want to know a little bit more about the 274 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 3: purvy side of your parents and your grandparents' relationship. 275 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 6: Right. 276 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 3: You said really clearly when I asked you about your 277 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 3: money story, that you knew that your grandparents were together 278 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 3: in like a convenience kind of relationship. And I'd like 279 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 3: to know one how you're aware of that, but two 280 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 3: how that impacts your decision making around what your financial 281 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 3: life looks like, and how that's impacted you wanting to 282 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 3: be you know, independent and female. Has this come from 283 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 3: them saying that to your or is this like, you know, 284 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 3: side observations like what does that look like to you? 285 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 6: I think it was all around observations when I was younger. 286 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 6: So I do remember in my childhood that I believe 287 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 6: my pop had cheated and essentially my Nan, I guess, 288 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 6: wasn't working and he was the one paying the bills 289 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 6: and she was the one looking after the family and 290 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 6: providing dinners and everything like that. And I know that 291 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 6: growing up, my nan has never been completely happy in 292 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 6: her relationship. And I know that if it wasn't for 293 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 6: us having such a big family and everything like that, 294 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 6: and if she was able to provide for herself, she 295 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 6: probably would have not stayed in that relationship, but purely 296 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 6: at a convenience, they've stayed together. And I guess for me, 297 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 6: that just meant that I never wanted to be in 298 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,599 Speaker 6: a situation where I wasn't able to financially look after myself. 299 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 6: If I was in a situation like that, I'd hate 300 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 6: to be stuck in an unhappy relationship with no way 301 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 6: out and feeling I have to stay there because of this. 302 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 3: I find that a little bit heartbreaking, but really really 303 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 3: interesting because I'm making some assumptions over the ages of 304 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 3: your grandparents, and it's kind of normal in a way 305 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 3: for them to just go, well, it is what it is. 306 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 3: I don't have any financial literacy for myself, and it 307 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 3: really really upsets me to think that people aren't living 308 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 3: their best lives or their happiest lives just purely based 309 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 3: on the fact that financially they couldn't get by and 310 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 3: this idea that you know, I don't know. I just 311 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 3: feel bad that your grandma was in a position where 312 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 3: she didn't get to live, you know, the life that 313 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 3: she potentially could have lived or wanted to live because 314 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 3: of that. I mean, she's super lucky to have you 315 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 3: in such a big family, and like that's a blessing 316 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 3: in itself. But I guess this is why I'm so 317 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: wildly passionate about women, you know, having good financial literacy 318 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 3: and complete side note, guys, have you fallen onto the 319 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 3: side of stay at home mum TikTok oh? 320 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 5: Yes?

So is that something 330 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 3: where you've said to your partner, Look, I really want 331 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 3: to have my own financial independence. Like, are you having 332 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 3: these deep conversations now or has your relationship not got 333 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 3: there yet? 334 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: I'm sorry if I'm being too pervy. I just need 335 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: to know. 336 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 6: No, Definitely, I guess prior to the relationship i've been now, 337 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 6: I was in a pretty not great one before which 338 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 6: I did have to leave, and I was lucky to 339 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 6: have my investment property where my grandparents are living in 340 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 6: to fall back on. And then when I met my 341 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 6: now partner, I was pretty much set up living on 342 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 6: my own. Everything in my house I bought myself. So 343 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 6: basically from the very beginning, I've been very upfront. At 344 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 6: the time, I was also looking at moving for my career, 345 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 6: and I was very upfront about I need to, you know, 346 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 6: sort myself out first before I can factor another person in. 347 00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 6: I want to make sure that I'm set up and 348 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 6: happy on my own before I can, I guess, be 349 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 6: with anybody else. So that's definitely been a big conversation 350 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 6: that we've had. 351 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,119 Speaker 5: From the very beginning of my relationship. 352 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 6: I've been very upfront that I always want to have 353 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 6: my own independence. I never want to rely on somebody 354 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 6: else not being there or you know, a relationship breaking 355 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 6: down and then struggling and then not having somewhere to 356 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 6: live for not being able to look after myself. It's 357 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 6: very important to me that I am fine on my own. 358 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. 359 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 3: How does that filter into the way you manage money 360 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 3: as a couple, Like, do you have joint accounts? Do 361 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 3: you like manage money together? Do you have your own? 362 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 3: Like what does that structure for I guess cash flow 363 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 3: look like. 364 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 5: Yes, so we both have our own accounts. 365 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 6: I also have my separate investment property account which is 366 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 6: purely on its own. He's got his own accounts, but 367 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 6: we do have obviously our mortgage that's shared. And then 368 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 6: we also have an account that is shared, which is 369 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 6: I suppose our spending account, and we both contribute the 370 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 6: same amount of money into that and then we use 371 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 6: that for our joint spendings. 372 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 1: I love this. 373 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 3: If we wind back to before you were super super 374 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 3: financially literate, what were the first steps that you took 375 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 3: to kind of put yourself in the best possible position. 376 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: I mean self indulgently. 377 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 3: I'd love to hear the story about how you love 378 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 3: She's on the money, Like, I feel like financial literacy 379 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 3: for a lot of people's starts before you're introduced to that, 380 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 3: Like you're looking for that content, or you're you know, 381 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 3: craving a different way to budget or cash flow. 382 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: Like, how did that start for you? 383 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 3: Obviously you knew all along that you wanted to have 384 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 3: some level of you know, financial literacy to not be 385 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 3: in the situations that you've seen happy in your family, 386 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 3: But what were your first steps to going you know what, 387 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 3: this is what's going to create financial security for me? 388 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 5: Yes, So I've. 389 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 6: Always been a very independent person to begin with. But 390 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 6: I believe when I was younger, I always I guess 391 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 6: from family members that I had, you know, everyone was 392 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 6: buying a house and that was the thing that was 393 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 6: going to, I suppose be the thing that keeps them 394 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 6: so owning their own house. So I think for me, 395 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 6: it just makes sense that if I own my own house, 396 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 6: I'll always have somewhere to live forever. And my family 397 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 6: were pretty much the ones that were like, you know, 398 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 6: you need to buy a house. 399 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 5: You need to buy a house. 400 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,479 Speaker 6: So I did that, but I wish back then I 401 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 6: actually had a better understanding of what it actually means 402 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 6: to own a house instead of, you know, just buying 403 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 6: it because that's what I think I should do and 404 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 6: it fits in my budget and everything like that. But 405 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 6: you know, no one at school or anything ever explained 406 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 6: to you. You know about rates, and you know if 407 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 6: things break in the house that you need to you know, 408 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 6: cover that, and you know property management and insurances and 409 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 6: all of that sort of stuff. So I think I 410 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 6: just I bought my first one purely because I thought 411 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 6: that was the right step in it, you know, in 412 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 6: being financially secure as having your own house, and that's 413 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 6: where that sort of started. But I wish I had 414 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 6: a better understanding of what that actually meant at the time. 415 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 6: I'm still very glad that I did, but I feel 416 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 6: like I could have been better educated around it before 417 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 6: I jumped into that. 418 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 4: You've said a couple of times throughout, you know, our 419 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 4: little chat with you, that ultimately what you're working towards 420 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 4: is your financial freedom and you know that's why you 421 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 4: have this property, you have this investment property, and now 422 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 4: you're starting your journey in shares. What does that specifically 423 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 4: look like to you? Would you lack to retire early? 424 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 4: Would you lack to you know, travel? I feel like 425 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 4: everybody has this different idea of what that financial freedom 426 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 4: and financial security means to them. 427 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: What is it for you? 428 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 6: For me, I think it would be to not be 429 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 6: stressed about money, not worried about bills or everything like that, 430 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 6: just to have everything sort of set up and then 431 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 6: not having to say no to opportunities should they ever 432 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 6: come along. That money was not a restriction. So for 433 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 6: me doesn't necessarily mean, you know, I get to retire early, 434 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 6: because the person that I am, I'll probably be working 435 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 6: until I die. 436 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: That's just my personality, same girlfriend, same. 437 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 5: Yeah. 438 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 6: I just I want to be secure that i'm you know, 439 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 6: don't have to check my bank account balance and I 440 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 6: don't need to check my bills every month because it's 441 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 6: all just all just working well. So for me, it's 442 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 6: just being completely secure in the fact that I can 443 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 6: do what I want when I want and not have 444 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 6: to worry about the money side of things. 445 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 3: Okay, there is a really big question that I want 446 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 3: to ask, because obviously, buying a property is the great 447 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 3: Australian dream, and it's one of the things that you know, 448 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 3: I feel like our community really struggle with because it's 449 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 3: hard to get onto the property ladder, Like it's hard 450 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 3: to save your deposit. How did you do it? And 451 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 3: how old are you? Because money diarist, I can see you. 452 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 3: The rest of the community can't because you are absolutely anonymous. 453 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: You look young, you look fresh, you look vibrant. How 454 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: old are you? 455 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 3: And how did you save for your first deposit and 456 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 3: get on the property ladder? Because I'm just looking at you, 457 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 3: going this is incredible, Like it's not as though you're 458 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 3: sitting here going, oh, I have one hundred and eighty 459 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 3: thousand dollars income, Like you've got a really normal, relatable salary. 460 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't know. Tell us how did you do it? 461 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 6: So I'm twenty seven. I bought my first property when 462 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 6: I was twenty three. At the time, I was working 463 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 6: in a supermarket and I guess I just saved. I 464 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 6: just I was really good at saving, and pretty much 465 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 6: every bit of money that I had left over after 466 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 6: paying bills and whatnot. I just saved and was lucky. 467 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 6: I suppose at the time you just rates weren't so 468 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 6: high and I was just able to save my deposit. 469 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: How long did that process take. 470 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 5: I think it took me about a year from once 471 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 5: I decided that I wanted to buy, to be able 472 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 5: to save up for the deposit and have it ready 473 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 5: to go. 474 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay. 475 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 3: That is good to know because I feel like so 476 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 3: many times people are like, oh my gosh, it's going 477 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 3: to take ages. But from the sound of it, we 478 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 3: already heard about your first property. It wasn't like a 479 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 3: million dollar property that I think a lot of US 480 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 3: millennials seem to think has to be our entry point 481 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 3: into the market. And now you're obviously stepping up and 482 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 3: you want to step up again. But I just feel 483 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 3: like your story is so relatable but just also just 484 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 3: so interesting, like this independent woman vibe. I have my 485 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 3: own house, I've got to run my own life, and 486 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 3: even though my partner is an associate financial advisor, like 487 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 3: you're clearly running rings around him, and I love to 488 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 3: see it.
