So how did this all culminate? 178 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 4: Thirty seven? Now, how old were you when you met 179 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 4: your partner? 180 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: So we met when we were mid twenties and then 181 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 2: we ended up getting engaged in twenty sixteen, and that's 182 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: when we bought our first property. And our first property 183 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 2: was with the intention to renovate it and flip it 184 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 2: and seal it within a five year period. 185 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 5: That was our intention. It was really hustle bustle. The 186 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 5: area that we brought in was wonderful for that stage 187 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 5: of our life. Everything was close, but it was an 188 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 5: old property so needed a lot. 189 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 2: Of work, which we knew. 190 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 5: We bought that in twenty sixteen for at four hundred 191 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 5: and forty thousand dollars and then we got engaged. So 192 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 5: we got engaged that same year, and then the renovations 193 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 5: under the house. During that twenty sixteen period, we did 194 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 5: a lot of things, but they. 195 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 2: Were minimal costs so we'd get family held, but we 196 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 2: do it ourselff. So like painting the walls, we painted 197 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: the house because it was all different colors. The whole 198 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 2: house was lino, so we stripped the entire house gorge 199 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 2: so like we had the original floor boards underneath, so. 200 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 4: Well you did. I was like when you ripped up 201 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 4: the liner was at a like woo moment or a 202 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 4: disappointing moment because. 203 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 2: Now I was beautiful. Yeah, a lot of that. Quite 204 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 2: a job removing those pins though there's nails so the 205 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 2: whole house. 206 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 4: But that's again we didn't Yeah, been there, done that. 207 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 2: And then we got that obviously polished and wax stuff 208 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 2: by professional. Yeah, but we did minim will cost that 209 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 2: year and then the following year, in March twenty seventeen, 210 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 2: we booked our wedding for that coming December, so we 211 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 2: had about nine months. 212 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 5: So we we tried really hard, really hard to say, 213 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 5: for that wedding. So I worked two jobs during that time, 214 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 5: husband worked three, just because it wasn't within our values 215 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 5: to get a loan out for the wedding. We were 216 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 5: we really wanted to be on the dance floor with 217 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 5: everyone and go. 218 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 4: We did this, yeah, one hundred percent. Not tomorrow, we 219 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 4: have to start thinking about the debt we've got to repair. 220 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. Yeah, after this the next chapter starts. It's fun. 221 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 2: It's all uphill from here. I really worked really hard 222 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: during those nine months. 223 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 5: But again we did stuff ourselves, so Trady friends, Trady cousins, 224 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 5: removing chandeliers or facing them with down lives, installing fans. 225 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 2: Again, little things, but. 226 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 4: They have a really big impact. Like even on just 227 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 4: a plane room fresh paint makes a world of difference. 228 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: That's right. Then we ended up falling pregnant with our 229 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 2: first little love. Yeah, a few months after the wedding, 230 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: which was so exciting, but we hadn't really taken into 231 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 2: account like future plans. 232 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, you were just but like that's just fun, Like, sorry, 233 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 4: you're freshly married and let's not think about it, well, yes, 234 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 4: and no, like I don't know. You never know how 235 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 4: long it's going to take, and then it's magic anyway. 236 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 4: And if you want kids, like I feel like you 237 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 4: just want kids. Yes, it's nice to plan, but like 238 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 4: it's very hard to. 239 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. It's not easy for everyone. 240 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 5: And we don't know what our journey would be like, 241 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 5: so you thought, let's just start trying and see what happens. 242 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 5: We're fortunate that it happened quite quickly for us, which 243 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 5: I don't take for granted. 244 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, and that's okay, But like often it's a 245 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 4: surprise as well, because I feel like, as women, we 246 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 4: spend our entire lives trying not to get pregnant, and 247 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 4: then people tell you, for whatever reason, it's going to 248 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 4: be hard to get pregnant. So when you start trying 249 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 4: and you get pregnant immediately, often you're like wait what, no, no, no, 250 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 4: I thought this would be like a process. 251 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: What do I do now? Yeah? 252 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 5: I wanted this, but yeah, what does it mean? So 253 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 5: we'll do that coming Novambuck. 254 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 4: Also twenty eighteen. 255 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 2: But then we had worked so hard for this wedding, 256 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 2: and everything that we had saved for went towards it. 257 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 2: So we were like, Okay, we have this plan of 258 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: renovating this house and flipping it within the five years 259 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 2: from when we brought it. Yeah, what are we going 260 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 2: to do? So we had the discussion and we went 261 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: to the bank to get the house evaluated to see 262 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 2: if it had increased in value, and it had actually 263 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 2: gone up eighty thousand dollars. 264 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 4: Oh money win. 265 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, So we decided to borrow the eighty thousand dollars 266 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 5: against the home loan and that was our nest eck. 267 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 2: Towards the renovation. It was exclusively to be used towards 268 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 2: renovating and that's. 269 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 4: It, not to be touched for anything else adding value. 270 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 5: So then again, we're still working full time throughout my pregnancy, 271 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 5: so there was so okay, we could survive, we could 272 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 5: save for upcoming baby. 273 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 2: Nice, not a whole, but we had this little nest egg, 274 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 2: which was nice. 275 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 4: Yeah. 276 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 2: September of that year rolls around, so I'm coming up 277 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: to my third trimester and my husband's on a bus 278 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 2: night with his cousins and we had to renovate our bathrooms. 279 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: We had to shoop them, gut them. Yeah, don't worries, 280 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 2: we'll get it down. 281 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 5: We'll get it done before the baby comes, no worries, 282 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 5: We'll start straight away like I'm during two months. 283 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: I'll be sure. Yeah, no, I promise off, we'll get 284 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: it done. So in they come the banging balls and 285 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 2: we're going to quickly choose tiles and this and that, 286 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 2: because yeah, it's going to get done. 287 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 5: And the lady at Reese says, it's called she does 288 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 5: it all the time. It's called extreme nesting. Wouldn't recommend. 289 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, that is extreme nesting. I was just on my 290 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 4: hands and knees, like scrubbing skirting boards. So I feel 291 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 4: like you took it to the next level extreme. 292 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 2: So the first time my first little love was born, 293 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 2: we had no shower. One wall tiled in the bathroom 294 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 2: which had been completely gutted, and that's so we had. 295 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 4: So you came home from the hospital and you were 296 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 4: like cool. So the hospital shower was trash, but it 297 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 4: was incredible compared to no shower. 298 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: So we had to travel and pack a bag every 299 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 2: day to shower in a family member's house. 300 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 5: Which with a newborn is not with a newborn, and 301 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 5: you're healing yourself too. 302 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, like and do you know what, like the shower. 303 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 4: I spent a lot of time in the shower postpartum 304 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 4: because I just you feel gross, like you're hormonal, Like 305 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 4: it's a place that you can escape to, and you 306 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 4: didn't have that. I'm so sorry. 307 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 2: Okay, it was my own fault. 308 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 4: I said, yes, okay, but like they said that they 309 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 4: would do it as well. 310 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you know treaties yea.

Yeah, so we wanted 333 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 5: to ask ourselves the question, do we want to stay 334 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 5: in this area that we love so much? We want 335 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 5: to move further in further about what do we want 336 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 5: to do after lockdown happened, We felt that we really 337 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 5: loved the quiet and the slowness of it all. 338 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 2: With kids, it kind of changed our perspective. 339 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 4: It did change, you like, it changed and we didn't 340 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 4: have kids through that period, but it definitely changed my 341 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 4: values and even just like the way we I don't 342 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 4: think this is not just me or you. I think 343 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 4: it changed society a lot, even just our work life 344 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 4: balance expectations. And I think it's been for the better. 345 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 2: Absolutely. I think people suffered. I'm not taking away from. 346 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 4: That, oh no, no no, But like those of us 347 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 4: who just had to go through lockdown and that was 348 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 4: not a period, I feel like we had a values shift, yes, 349 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 4: and I think that that's okay to say it doesn't 350 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 4: take away from the fact that it was a very 351 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 4: traumatic period of time for a lot of people. But like, sorry, 352 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 4: you're based in Melbourne as well. We had the longest 353 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 4: lockdown in the world. Of Course it is going to 354 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 4: change you. Of course, it is going to make you 355 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 4: question things, like I'm pretty sure we all went up 356 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 4: the wall at some point as well. 357 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 2: Absolutely so, after assessing the situation and the information that 358 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 2: we had at hand, we decided that. 359 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 5: We loved the quiet so much now that we had kids, 360 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 5: so I thought we might want to go out and 361 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 5: off a little bit more so with our two little loves. 362 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 5: We went to display homes and eventually found one that 363 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 5: we loved, which was great. You know, you sit on 364 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 5: it for a while, you discussed it back and forth, 365 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 5: and then yeah, yeah, yeah, we do love this floor 366 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 5: plan that's going ahead. 367 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. Our property ended up going up for sale and 368 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 2: sailing before auction, making a two hundred and fifty thousand 369 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 2: dollars profits. Stop it. 370 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 4: That's such a good deal. Surprised, but also like you 371 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 4: bought for four forty and then you got eighty grand 372 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 4: of equity, got to use that to reno the property 373 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 4: and then you still made a cleaned profit like money 374 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 4: WINGQ we. 375 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: It was was lovely. It was lovely not to be 376 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: used for us. It was solely for the house, but 377 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 2: our next chapter to begin. So we ended up deciding 378 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 2: on an area that we liked, and we. 379 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 5: Thought we're going to spend a bit more on a 380 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 5: titled block because we've got two kids, we feel like 381 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 5: we might want a third. I can't wait for times 382 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 5: of blocks to be titled. It's just too much of 383 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 5: a long process sometimes. So well, why I block that's 384 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 5: already titled paper dextra. We can hopefully start the built 385 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 5: as quickly as possible. The contract build was around three 386 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 5: hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Yeah, so on the contract 387 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 5: for that, that was great. 388 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 2: We couldn't get a bridging loan at that point because 389 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 2: I wasn't working enough for the bank to give us that. 390 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a pickle of a situation. Is so frustrating, 391 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 4: even though you're like, I have a contract and I'm 392 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 4: fully employed and they're like no, sorry, you're on maternity leave, 393 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 4: your null and void. It is so frustrating. 394 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we can prove we could pay it, like anyway. 395 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not the point. It's not the point, is it. 396 00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 2: It's fine. It is what it is. That's fine. 397 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 5: So our builder at the time told us I should 398 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 5: take four or five six months for the house to 399 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 5: go up, because the boxer retitled great. 400 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, So we thought, we'll save our pennies is five 401 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 2: six months, let's move in with family and save some 402 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 2: money during that time. 403 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 5: So then whatever we make, we'll save to go towards 404 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 5: a house. We can buy furniture, you know, do the backyard, 405 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 5: whatever else. So we tried to move into his husband's parents. 406 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 5: His sister was still living at home at the time. 407 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 5: Mom and dad still working full time at that point, 408 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 5: has been working full time. I was at home with 409 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 5: two kids, perfect, but. 410 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 2: It was lockdown. We went back into lockdown, so we 411 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 2: had to somehow manage the children to be quiet. Everyone's 412 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 2: in their own separate rooms, working full time with their 413 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 2: jobs plus two kids. I actually happen to pick up 414 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 2: some casual work during that time. 415 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 5: So I'm a primary school teacher, so I got to 416 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 5: go in to help essential workers children that were still 417 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 5: allowed to go into schools at that time. So I 418 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 5: went in and did that two days a week, just 419 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 5: to help us with some cash. Once we were there 420 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 5: for a little bit, we wanted to be strategic and 421 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 5: we booked it dinner out, just two of us and 422 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 5: took time to discuss what the future might look like 423 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 5: and if we did want three children, how was it 424 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 5: going to work? And we survived on one away with 425 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 5: the upcoming mortgage did all the mass had a really, 426 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 5: really in depth discussion about it, and we thought, yep, okay, 427 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 5: we can make it work. 428 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,959 Speaker 2: We felt like there was someone missing, right, let's do it. 429 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,719 Speaker 4: I love that. That's so sweet. 430 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 2: Two's lovely too. 431 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 4: It could be enough, but I know someone was missing. 432 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 4: We weren't done. 433 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 2: That's right. The six months were meant to be living 434 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 2: at parents' house turned into seven eight months because the 435 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 2: bill kept getting push back and the house next saughted. 436 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 5: My mum actually went up for sale. So my mom's 437 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 5: going to leave her house to us anyway in her will. 438 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 5: So she said to us, why don't you consider it 439 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 5: buying the house next door and having their the doserent property. 440 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,719 Speaker 5: So my brothers and I said, like a trust and 441 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 5: we did that and we. 442 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 2: Bought that the house for six hundred and sixty ish 443 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 2: thousand dollars. So after a thirty day sentiment. Me and 444 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 2: my family moved. 445 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 4: Into their Oh perfect. You were probably like, I'm going 446 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 4: up the wall living within laws. This is a perfect opportunity. 447 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 4: I don't even care how it happens, but I was wondering. 448 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 4: I was like, how did you buy into a quarter 449 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 4: of an investment property? I'm thinking, is this a good idea? 450 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 4: It was with your brothers. It makes a lot of sense. Okay, yes, yes, 451 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 4: so that is quite strategic, trying to be. 452 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 5: Trying to set ourselves up for a better future. So 453 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 5: we move into the investment property. So obviously we still 454 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 5: need to pay our quarter of the mortgage. 455 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 2: Fair is fair. But we also need to pay rent 456 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 2: because it's an investment property. 457 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, because you're the ones using their property. 458 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 5: So we're paying rent. We're paying a quarter of that 459 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 5: mortgage plus our mortgage of the property. 460 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 2: That's being built, which is slowly coming along. 461 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 5: So as you go through stages of the builds, the 462 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 5: amount increases because you used to pay back the builder 463 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 5: for whatever's happened during that time. 464 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 2: So that's slowly increasing. 465 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 5: Still paying rent our quarter of the mortgage, so it's 466 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 5: also going on. 467 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 2: But everything. 468 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 5: Look, we're surviving at this point, then interest rates satiffice 469 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 5: and then they keep rising, they keep. 470 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 4: Writing I feel like they didn't stop. 471 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 2: No, And then our house it wasn't getting done, and 472 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 2: so things were getting tight. 473 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 5: So we had to use some of the money from 474 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 5: the sale to help us to survive, yeah, to pay rent, 475 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 5: to pay the mortgage, to pay our bills. 476 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 2: Course, so we're watching our profits slowly disappear. 477 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,479 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that would have been so stressful as well, 478 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 4: because you're like, no, this is meant to be set 479 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 4: aside for this other thing, and you just can't help it. Sometimes. 480 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 2: Was that out of that control? Yeah, and we've worked 481 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: really hard on our first property to earn that money. 482 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 2: So yeah, but that's okay. 483 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 5: Things happen, that's fine. So then we're up to the 484 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 5: last stage of our bill. So the last stage should 485 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 5: typically take two to three weeks. It shouldn't take that 486 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 5: long from what we're told. So you're paying for a 487 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,959 Speaker 5: mortgage up until that point pretty much. The time mortgage 488 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 5: is owed, minus a couple of thousand dollars, it's final stage, 489 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 5: the builder goes under. 490 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 4: Could you not have waited a few weeks to go under? Sir? Like, 491 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 4: that's very disrespectful. 492 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 6: So with four weeks left to go, ish terrible diming. 493 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 6: So we had almost a full mortgage, paying full rent, 494 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 6: a quarter of another mortgage, and there was no end 495 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 6: in the future because there was no one coming to Balacestras. 496 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 4: And were you pregnant at this point because you'd done 497 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 4: that date with your husband where you'd probably decided we 498 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 4: are going to have a third baby. Were you pregnant 499 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 4: at this point as well? I'm just putting two and 500 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 4: two together and I'm like, the timelines are getting away 501 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 4: from me. I think you were knocked up. 502 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 2: Yes, I had my third baby in August of twenty 503 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 2: twenty two, so he was here five months after we 504 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 2: moved into famvestment property. 505 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 4: So we now have three kids as well. So like, yes, 506 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 4: there was nobody missing at this point. Three kids basically 507 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 4: three mortgages. 508 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:31,719 Speaker 3: What a delight. 509 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 2: Yes, it was lovely. So with a seven month old, 510 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 2: a three year old and a four year old, it 511 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 2: was tight. 512 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 4: Oh god, it was tight. 513 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 2: We was told to lodge a claim. 514 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 5: This was what everyonebody was told to lodge a claim 515 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 5: through VMIA, Yeah, which is the Victorian Manati Insurance Agency. 516 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 5: I think all builders have to be covered by them 517 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 5: before they started built. 518 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 2: From what I understand, you're legally so through. 519 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 5: The haze of sleepless nights and babies everywhere, I lodged 520 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 5: this claim yet, but they're in no rush to pay up. 521 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 5: So I was not thinking about getting money from them 522 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 5: to help in any way. I just thought, I need 523 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 5: to go back to work casually, even though three babies 524 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 5: at home. I didn't see a way out. I had 525 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 5: to make it work. Yeah, So I went back to 526 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 5: work casually so the bank. 527 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 4: Would give us more money. 528 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 2: More money, yeah, to complete our loan. 529 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 5: And it ended up being about seventy five thousand dollars 530 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 5: that we needed. So we had to get three different 531 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 5: quotes from three different builders, send them into the insurance 532 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 5: the BMIA sent into the bank. They ended up approving 533 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 5: us for about seventy five thousand dollars. Oh good, so 534 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 5: sent it all to the new builder. 535 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 2: We ended up finding it just a small builder that 536 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 2: help us. 537 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 5: It was tough to find a builder, to be honest, 538 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 5: because nobody wanted to touch it. 539 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's somebody else's work and they've got to come 540 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 4: in and fix it, and they don't know if they've 541 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 4: done a good job, and if they've gone under they 542 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 4: made of cut corners. 543 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 2: Like there's just a lot, right, Yeah, and their insurance 544 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 2: like they have to take it on and just hope 545 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 2: for the best. So yeah, it was a big ask. 546 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 5: But we ended up finding a lovely small builder who 547 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:51,959 Speaker 5: completed the build for us. 548 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 2: Oh lucky, which was nice. I'd ended up getting finished 549 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 2: in maybe another four months on top of that, so 550 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 2: it was longer than expected, but still doesn't matter. They 551 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 2: got done then. 552 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 5: After we were in our house, maybe after four months 553 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 5: of being in so we got in the end of 554 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 5: twenty twenty three.

That's nice. 558 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 2: It was a lovely surprise because, like I said, I 559 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 2: didn't account for. 560 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 4: That money because you were like, we're not going to 561 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 4: get anything from this, Yeah, and you're kind of like, 562 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 4: I've done my due diligence.

It's just when, when can we when? 706 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 4: And where and how? 707 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: Yeah? 708 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 4: That's fair. Yeah, and also finding the balance, because it 709 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 4: sounds like you've been through I would say a lot 710 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 4: of financial stress and you're probably a little bit triggered 711 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 4: by that because you're like, actually, just don't want to 712 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 4: be back in that situation, Like, we don't have to 713 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 4: do that, so let's not do that. If it means 714 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 4: that we don't have another investment property for a long time, 715 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 4: that's fine too. 716 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's been a lot of do you need that? Yeah, 717 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 2: do we need that? 718 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 5: Because we don't really have the money to buy that 719 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 5: right now. So it'd be nice to just be comfortable 720 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 5: for a little bit. 721 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, totally, especially while kids are little and you probably 722 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 4: want to seize different opportunities, and I mean, everything adds up. 723 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 4: And the second you said you had three kids, I'm like, 724 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 4: that's expensive. And it's not just because you know, you 725 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 4: might choose private school or something, but even if you 726 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 4: want to take the kids to the zoo, the family 727 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 4: pack is two adults, two kids, You've always got to 728 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 4: spend that extra to get the third kid in, and 729 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 4: just everything adds up. 730 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, then we want ice cream, and then I want yipsident. 731 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, and if one got chips, three. 732 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 5: Gets chips, that's right, very quickly. 733 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 4: Yes, would all right, let's go to a really quick 734 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 4: break because on the flip side, I want to ask 735 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 4: a little bit more about your investment strategy, the debt 736 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 4: that you're currently in on all of those properties, and 737 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 4: your best and worst money have it. So guys don't 738 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 4: go anywhere, all right, money drives, We are back. I 739 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 4: want to know a little bit more about your investment 740 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 4: journey because it's not one that we have as commonly 741 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 4: on money diries. Right. I feel like every time I 742 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 4: talk to somebody about what do you do? They're a 743 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 4: DIY investor, which is fantastic. But you've got more of 744 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 4: an assisted approach, but not like a full blown financial 745 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 4: advice approach. Yes, how was that system for you? You 746 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 4: went through life Shurpa. They obviously made recommendations based on 747 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 4: what you would invest in. What does that look like 748 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 4: for you? 749 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 2: They offer different platforms to invest into, so you could 750 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 2: go there was a percentage of risk base. 751 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 4: I just want to know what you do. 752 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, we did the highest risk. 753 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 4: Good job. I mean if it works out for you great. 754 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, because we're long term, so we thought let's do 755 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 2: the high risk. It says the recommendation is not to 756 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 2: touch it between after eight years and up above, so 757 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 2: we thought, we're not in a rush for this money. 758 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 5: If it works well for us, and it works hard 759 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 5: for us there and it makes us money. Great, let's 760 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 5: just leave it and see what it does. So we've 761 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 5: just put it in there. We've not added much to it. 762 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 5: It's just sitting there and it's doing its Then. 763 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 4: I know you said before like cash flow is just 764 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 4: not allowing us to invest more per week. But what 765 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 4: would happen if that changed and you had like a 766 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 4: couple of one hundred dollars every month to invest? Can 767 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 4: you just drop that in or do you need a 768 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 4: specific plan? How does that work? 769 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, we would budget that in. We've already floated that 770 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 2: idea of us to work more. My pay grows up, 771 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 2: we put a bit more. 772 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 5: Into our investments and a bit more into my super 773 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 5: just to try to make up for the years that 774 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 5: I was on maternity leave. But it's not we're not 775 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 5: there yet because the pay increases haven't rolled around yet. 776 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 4: Talk to me now about debt. So you've sold your 777 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 4: first property. We got a two hundred and fifty thousand 778 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 4: dollars money we in profit out of that ten out 779 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 4: of ten, we then have your current family home and 780 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 4: your investment property. What did the total on your current 781 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 4: family home come. 782 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 5: To so at the moment, our homeland's on seven hundred 783 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 5: thousand exactly. 784 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 4: And do you remember what you invested in that, because 785 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 4: I remember you said earlier that there was like a 786 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 4: three hundred and fifty thousand dollar build contract, but that 787 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 4: didn't include the land, that's right, So what was the 788 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 4: land and the build contract? 789 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 2: The land was four hundred and eighty okay, yeah, and 790 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,719 Speaker 2: the build was three fifty ish. 791 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 4: So sitting on seven hundred is pretty good. 792 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, we've tried really hard. 793 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 5: We put extra every fortnight, every pay we put extra, 794 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 5: regardless of our financial situation. 795 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 4: We've always Yeah, that's why I'm being pervy. I'm like, 796 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 4: so what did you spend on land? And what do 797 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 4: you spend on the bill? So I can do some 798 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 4: math so work out if seven hundred is like a 799 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 4: really good thing or like, you know, you're still at 800 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 4: where you started? Do you know what the property is 801 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 4: worth now? Has that changed? 802 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 2: Yes? So brother around the nine to fifty mark? 803 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 4: Okay, queen, how exciting that must be really validating after 804 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 4: having gone through arguably a pretty traumatic period to get there. 805 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 2: Right, It's nice to hear we don't have an intention 806 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 2: of selling, nor do we have any intention of borrowing 807 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 2: against the house, but it's fice to know. 808 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 4: It's a good thing. Well, nobody wants to hear that 809 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 4: their property is worth less than what they're paying for it, Like, 810 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 4: that's very stressful. But tell me now about the investment 811 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 4: property that you've got with your brothers. How's that tracking. 812 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 4: I'm assuming that once you moved out, you leased it 813 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 4: out to somebody else. 814 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 2: It is, thankfully, so we bought it for around six 815 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty thousand dollars. Yeah, we initially we're paying 816 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 2: interest and capital. 817 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 5: With the interest rates for all what young families, it 818 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 5: just became too much for us. So we just ended 819 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 5: up going back to the bank and asking to just 820 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 5: do interest only for a little bit, just until things 821 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 5: come down. 822 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 2: And we can breathe a bit more. 823 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 5: So we pay interest soroundly on that monthly takes one 824 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 5: and a half thousand dollars, but our share is one 825 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 5: hundred and ten dollars per week. 826 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 4: Okay, so it's are you saying that the total mortgage 827 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 4: is one and a half thousand dollars. 828 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 2: Total mortgage to interest rightly? Yes? 829 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's like the total and then 830 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 4: you split that fifteen hundred bucks across you and your brothers. 831 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 4: So it goes four ways, and then you all contribute. 832 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 4: And what is it rented out for? Do you have 833 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 4: a good rental yield? 834 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 2: We do you have a good rental yield? I believe 835 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 2: it is for eighty away? We know. 836 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 4: And what do you guys do with that? Do you 837 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 4: put that straight back into the mortgage? So is that 838 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 4: fifteen hundred dollars being offset by the rent coming in? 839 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 4: And then obviously you'd have like land tax and all 840 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 4: of that other fun stuff to deal with. But that 841 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 4: sounds like a good little system that you guys have 842 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 4: worked out. 843 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, So it goes towards the mortgage and then we 844 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 2: put our share in to cover the rest. And then 845 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 2: there's always a bit more of a buffer to cover 846 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 2: if unexpected expenses pop up. 847 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I feel like if you're going to be 848 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 4: doing an investment with somebody else or with three brothers, 849 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 4: So it goes four ways. We need to build in 850 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 4: a buffer so nobody gets surprised when air con breaks 851 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 4: or the hot water system needs repairs or something happens, because, 852 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 4: as you said before, you all have young families. We 853 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 4: don't just have money sitting there for stuff like that, 854 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 4: So building in the buffer would probably save a lot 855 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 4: of stress. Do you know what that property is worth now? 856 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 4: Because you said you purchased it a few years ago 857 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 4: and you've got like six thirty ozer ing on it, 858 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 4: what's it worth. 859 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 2: At least nine point fifty now? 860 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,479 Speaker 5: It's in a very good spot on your main road, 861 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 5: shops around the corner, so it would have gone up 862 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 5: significantly in that time, I believe. 863 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 6: Yeah. 864 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 4: And not to be too morbid, you did mention, hey, 865 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 4: mum is going to leave the house to us, so 866 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,720 Speaker 4: we bought the house next door. Is that a future 867 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 4: development opportunity? Is that where our brains are going? Because 868 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:49,919 Speaker 4: I feel like you're a veno queen. 869 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 5: Yes, the discussion. We do want to do that. However 870 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 5: it's going to be left to me to do. The 871 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 5: boys are kind of like. 872 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's like build pop what is on it? But 873 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 2: you can organize it, You've done it before, you. 874 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 4: Can do it through a project management fee. I can 875 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 4: do anything. 876 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 2: I should do that. 877 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 4: Like I looked after you when you were children and 878 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 4: you didn't have an income, and now you're benefiting from it. 879 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,800 Speaker 4: I do too. Thank you so much for coming. 880 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 2: Absolutely should do. 881 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, how stressful, but also like very fun 882 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,240 Speaker 4: to know that, like everything is kind of sorting itself 883 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 4: out along the way. Talk to me, what do you 884 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 4: think your best money habit is. 885 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,240 Speaker 2: I think, as I'm getting older and with children and everything, 886 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,879 Speaker 2: I think my best money habit would be I try 887 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 2: to consider things more now, and I try to slow down, and. 888 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,280 Speaker 5: I try to compare worth versus value before I commit 889 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 5: and before I purchase something. So for example, oh, my gosh, 890 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 5: this clothing brand is on sale. That's really cheap. That's amazing. 891 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,879 Speaker 5: I should jump on it. Is it worth it? 892 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,320 Speaker 2: Do I need it? Is it's going to fall apart 893 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 2: after a month of wearing it, Or like, look, it 894 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 2: would be lovely to go to Japan, like my friends 895 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 2: are going. You know, is that expensive holiday worth it 896 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 2: for us right now? 897 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, in our current situation, with the ages of the 898 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 5: kids that we've got, probably not. So trying to be 899 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 5: more considerate, I suppose, and slow down with money. 900 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 4: And that's a really good thing. And I feel like 901 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 4: you are quite resourceful as well, like the fact that 902 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 4: you were like, yeah, I went back to work and 903 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,240 Speaker 4: I was, you know, working as a primary school teacher. 904 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,399 Speaker 4: Two days a week during COVID. I'm like, this girl's 905 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 4: a hustler, like you are resourceful, and it's it's just 906 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 4: so nice to hear like I just I love women 907 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,240 Speaker 4: who are like, no, I can go do that. That's fine. 908 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,359 Speaker 4: Before you said I want to do more with my time, 909 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,839 Speaker 4: and I'm thinking, what do you mean more? You are 910 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 4: working and you have three children, Queen, that's okay. 911 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 2: We've got one at school, one at kinder so it 912 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:40,720 Speaker 2: gets a bit easier. 913 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 4: It gets easier over time, But that doesn't mean that 914 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 4: we need our side hustle. But I love that you 915 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 4: want one, and I am backing you to the hill. 916 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:48,879 Speaker 4: On the flip side, what do you think your worst 917 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 4: money habit is. 918 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 2: I think my worst money habit would be the little 919 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,879 Speaker 2: spendings that can occur. So if I'm with the kids 920 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 2: at Target and there's like a sale on and they're like. 921 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 4: Well, well, yeah, it's fine, it's so easy. 922 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 2: Hopeful a baby Chino as well, like that's fine. I 923 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 2: think there's little spendings can add. 924 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 4: Up because they totally can. They totally can. But then 925 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,800 Speaker 4: it's also like we need to find the balance between 926 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 4: financial stability and the long term and I'm also enjoying 927 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 4: the journey, and I don't know, a baby Chino is 928 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,479 Speaker 4: just so I have a baby. 929 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:18,479 Speaker 2: It's fine. 930 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 4: Yeah, but then it's six dollars, isn't it. 931 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 2: That's fine. 932 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 4: So you're like, yours is just tripling. I love this 933 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 4: so much money? Dost you said? Oh, I think I'm 934 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 4: a B or a B?

If so, what would 938 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 4: it take to get you to an A. 939 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 2: I am quite hard on myself. I've got very high 940 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,799 Speaker 2: expectations of myself, so I think maybe it could be 941 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 2: moved to a B plus. But I think to move. 942 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 5: It to an A or an A plus, I just 943 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,840 Speaker 5: want more money coming in to build ourselves up and 944 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 5: set ourselves up comfortably for the future. 945 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,760 Speaker 2: So I think, once I'm working more at my current 946 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 2: job or the sign hustle, and I can feel us 947 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 2: getting comfortable and I feel like we're getting somewhere that 948 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 2: would make me feel a bit better. 949 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 4: I think, yeah, I won't argue with that, but I 950 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,759 Speaker 4: think you're doing pretty damn well and I'm just very 951 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 4: proud of you and everything that you've achieved, and the 952 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 4: fact that you did three babies in three and a 953 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 4: half years while doing all of that.
