I used the voucher for Alice 196 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 5: KT from the International Women's Day event, and because I 197 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 5: live in Queensland where lskd HQ is, I could select 198 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 5: Pick three pickup so I didn't have to pay for shipping. 199 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 5: She picked two items that totaled thirty dollars, so she 200 00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 5: was zero dollars out of pocket. 201 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was amazing things with so I'm obsessed. 202 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: You guys already know that. I am so excited about 203 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 2: the International Women's Stay show bags, even though there's none left. 204 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 2: And one of the things that we were so particular 205 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 2: about when putting them together is I don't want your 206 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 2: ten percent off voucher for when I spend over one 207 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 2: hundred dollars, like, put that in the bin. So when 208 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 2: we were putting things together, we obviously only worked with 209 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 2: brands that you guys would be obsessed with and ones 210 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 2: that we already love. And you guys know that we 211 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 2: love LSKD. Yeah, user the code Victoria for ten percent off, 212 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 2: You're welcome. But also they put literal thirty dollars vouchers 213 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 2: into our gift bags this year with them spend. Is 214 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 2: that not super generous? Yeah? Yeah, it was actual sick 215 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 2: And obviously she didn't even have to pay postage. So 216 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 2: that's the best money when I've heard in my life. 217 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 2: That's amazing. 218 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 4: Do you guys get those nude wine vouchers or like 219 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 4: constantly I'm. 220 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 2: Already have to spend like one hundred and fifty dollars, Like, 221 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 2: just get in the bin. Stop trying to sell me 222 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 2: shitty wine. Stop it moving around long. 223 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 5: My next money win comes from Mariam, who said she 224 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 5: found out about Spotify Duo and now we're both able 225 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,719 Speaker 5: to save four dollars a month each. Now someone else 226 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 5: said they found out about Spotify Student, which saves them 227 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 5: six dollars a week. So I feel like if you're 228 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 5: paying for Spotify, you shouldn't be paying full price. Because 229 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 5: there were so many wins this week from people about Spotify, 230 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 5: like I don't know if they've just done a new 231 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 5: has it. 232 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 2: Been like a campaign or something recently. 233 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 5: There were so many of them, so I thought I 234 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 5: would just mention it Spotify Student, Spotify Family, Spotify goodness 235 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 5: knows what. 236 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 2: Else not sponsored. But this is probably not ethical to say, 237 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 2: but I just give my friends the long game that too. Yeah, 238 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: that's fair. It's not very good. So when my husband 239 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 2: goes on a run, he'll always take his phone and 240 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 2: listen to music, right, And that often happens on a 241 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: Saturday or a Sunday morning when I'm at home, like 242 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 2: cleaning or something, and so that it's actually quite detrimental 243 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 2: because he'll kick me off Spotify, and I'll kick him 244 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 2: off Spotify, and then he'll kick me off Spotify. And 245 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: anyway works really well until you come into a situation 246 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 2: where you both want to use it at the same time. 247 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 2: It's like a fight to the death for the Spotify. Yeah, leadership. Well, 248 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 2: that's my last money win for the week. Guys, I 249 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 2: love that. All right, let's go to a really quick 250 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 2: break and on the flip side, we're going to talk 251 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 2: about how to improve your credit score, how quickly Jessic 252 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 2: Ricky can eat ice cream, and how to support your 253 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 2: friend's side hustle. So guys, do not go anywhere. 254 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 5: Oh rdy. Everybody, welcome back.

Although I never considered myself super lavish, I 270 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 3: ended up with ten K debt, which I've since paid back, 271 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 3: but not before it went to collections. So now my 272 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 3: credit history is basically shot to pieces. So I wanted 273 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 3: to get some advice on how a regular person can 274 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 3: go about repairing their credit history or is this something 275 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 3: you just have to wait out until However many years pass, 276 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 3: I think it was four years that I read, but 277 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 3: I would love to know how to improve my credit 278 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 3: score after being in collections. 279 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 2: All those who have been personally victimized by credit card 280 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 2: debt after coming back from overseas, please. 281 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 5: Say I I I, You're not alone. 282 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 2: I feel like that's really important to point out, actually 283 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 2: just because it's not I don't know. I feel like 284 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: sometimes when you're listening to a money podcast, you carry 285 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 2: a lot of guilt because we are out here with 286 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 2: all the tips and tricks that you should be doing. 287 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 2: But whilst I'm good with money today, I haven't always 288 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 2: been good with money and tips and tricks like if 289 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 2: it's more of a do as I say, not as 290 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 2: I do kind of vibe, you know, so don't look 291 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 2: too deeply. First things. First I would say is please 292 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 2: don't google how to repair credit scores in Australia and 293 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 2: then click the first link that is sponsored that says 294 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 2: fix your credit today from Credit Clean Australia. Sneaky, so sneaky. 295 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: It's so fast and easy to get a credit file 296 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 2: assessment and then we will help you fix it. Don't 297 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: do that, you can do it on your own. Yeah, 298 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 2: like they'll charge you for that pleasure because work, No, babe, 299 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: read the room back. It's one of those things where 300 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 2: it does it work? The answer is actually yes, it 301 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 2: would absolutely work. But are they doing stuff that you 302 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 2: could already do and should already be doing for yourself. Yes, 303 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 2: they should be. And the first thing I want you 304 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 2: to do is if you don't know what your credit 305 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 2: score is, is you're going to go to a reliable 306 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 2: website to get your credit score done. So two of 307 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 2: the biggest ones are Equifax and Experience, and a more 308 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 2: user friendly option is actually, our friends are wiser and 309 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 2: we can put the link to that in the show notes, 310 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: because I think it's really important that we all know 311 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 2: our credit score. It's not a full blown credit inquiry 312 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 2: to go and get your credit score, and I recommend 313 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 2: that everybody goes and looks. And the reason I would 314 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 2: look is not because you're trying to get a loan 315 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 2: or not because you're like, oh, I worried about debt. 316 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: What we actually want to do is make sure that 317 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: it is relevant and actually our content, because sometimes if 318 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 2: we don't check our credit score, we don't know if 319 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 2: someone's using our identity fraudulently, if we, you know, had 320 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: someone muck up and you know, put a bill against 321 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 2: our name that wasn't ours and that's why it's not 322 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 2: been paid off and gone to collections. Or maybe your 323 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 2: telephone company forgot to send you a bill and you 324 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 2: know you've missed it and never paid it, and you 325 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 2: could actually amend that. So there's a lot of things 326 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: on there that you could actually fix. In a perfect world. 327 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 2: You look at your credit history, it comes back and 328 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: you tick every single box because you go, yep, no, 329 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 2: that makes sense. That was a credit inquiry for a 330 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 2: phone plan I took out. That was you know, a 331 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 2: loan I had, or that's my mortgage, or that's a 332 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 2: car inque, Like everything should on your credit score makes sense, 333 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 2: and if it doesn't, you need to talk to the 334 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 2: people who issued it to like start the process of 335 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 2: the what the hell right. But the next thing is 336 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: really understanding that in Australia your credit score is created 337 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 2: very differently to your credit score if you are American. 338 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 2: So if you're an American, you kind of like earn your 339 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 2: credit score by being in debt, like by getting credits. 340 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 2: So like a really recommended way in America is to 341 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 2: go and establish a credit card and pay it off regularly, right, 342 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 2: because you'll get a good credit score for paying that 343 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: credit That is not true in Australia. You do not 344 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 2: need a credit card to establish a good credit history. 345 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: What you need to do, my friends, is stay out 346 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 2: of debt. And while that is a really not great situation, 347 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 2: it's gone to collections that really sucks. You're right, it's 348 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 2: going to take two years to come off your credit history. 349 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 2: But in the interim, a few things that you can 350 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 2: do to you know, improve your credit score would be 351 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 2: if you have a credit card, lowering a credit limit 352 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 2: on that will usually instantly increase your credit score because 353 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 2: the less debt that you have access to, the more 354 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 2: reliable you are. You can limit the amount of applications 355 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 2: that you make for credit, so I wouldn't be going 356 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 2: and applying for new credit cards. One credit card is 357 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 2: not going to solve the issue of the last one 358 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 2: unless there's an actual strategy at play, in which case 359 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: you would already know that making sure that you're paying 360 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 2: your rent and your mortgage and your bills on time 361 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 2: is essential because here in Australia, that's how we get 362 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 2: a good credit score is by making sure that we 363 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 2: don't have things that go to collections or we don't 364 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 2: have bills that lapse or get late fees. So late 365 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 2: fees and stuff like that will negatively impact your credit score. 366 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 2: If it's directly through your energy supplier, well that's usually, 367 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 2: to be honest, pretty fine. They're just increasing your bill 368 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 2: because you didn't pay on time and they're seeing dollar 369 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 2: bills in their eyes. But if it goes to an 370 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 2: external third party, that can be an issue. Obviously, utility 371 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 2: bills and stuff like that, all of it on time. 372 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 2: And then if you do have a credit card and 373 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 2: that's something that you still rely on and you need 374 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 2: you need to make sure that you pay that credit 375 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 2: card on time each month, and obviously if you can 376 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 2: pay it in full or make sure you're paying more 377 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 2: than the minimum repayments, and that can actually help contribute 378 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 2: to a higher credit score. So if the minimum payment 379 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 2: on your credit card's fifty two dollars, how much over 380 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 2: that can you afford? It might not be triple that's fine, 381 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 2: but it might be a few dollars. Going above the 382 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 2: minimum repayment can have a really positive impact on your 383 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 2: credit score, which I don't think a lot of people 384 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 2: know that would just go but I paid it like 385 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 2: they sent me a bill. Yeah, they sent you a 386 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 2: bill for the absolute minimum to get by, So we 387 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 2: need to actually go above and beyond that. Not only 388 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 2: will that help your credit score, but it will actually 389 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 2: help you get out of debt quicker, and that's what 390 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 2: we want to see anyway. 391 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a big win. And we've done two episodes 392 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 5: on credit scores in the past, so if you want 393 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 5: a bit more information on what that could look like, 394 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 5: head back. We've done one called a Deep Dive on 395 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 5: credit scores and one called keeping your Credit Score. 396 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 2: In Check, which you might find helpful. That was a 397 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 2: good question though, vickid, Yeah, because I ask one question 398 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 2: before we move on BB Yes, so obviously, you know, 399 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 2: my credit score is really really bad. It's like in 400 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 2: the one or two hundred's. That's like, right, I still 401 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 2: got a credit score that's sexy. Yeah, yeah nice. 402 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 4: The people out there don't have because it's so many. 403 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 2: It can go, yeah, it can go. It can't go negative, 404 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 2: but it could be like real close to zero. So 405 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 2: I mean having your three figure credit score get going? 406 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 4: Okay, and it feel so bad, but so basically right now, 407 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 4: because I obviously can't get a credit card or anything. 408 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 4: So do I just literally stay off the grid for 409 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 4: however many years and then or just gradually get better 410 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 4: on its own? Do I just do nothing? 411 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 2: Pay your stuff on time? You're not off the grid. 412 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 2: So just because you don't have a credit card does 413 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 2: not get you out of the loop. You have rent 414 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 2: to pay yet, Yes, you have any type of bill? Yes, 415 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 2: so your name is on a bill. Yeah, so if 416 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 2: you didn't pay that bill and it went to collections, 417 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 2: that would negatively impact your credit score? Yes, oh yes, yeah, 418 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 2: so paying it positively impacts your credits? Okay, So I 419 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 2: think that's the biggest misconception when it comes to your 420 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 2: credit score. You assume that to have a good credit score, 421 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 2: it means you need to have credit. Just having a 422 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 2: bill coming in and consistently paying it is going to 423 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 2: be brilliant for you. Okay, doesn't mean that you can 424 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 2: go get a credit card tomorrow, but it means that 425 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 2: we can work back up to having a good credit score, 426 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 2: which is going to enable us more financial freedom in 427 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 2: the future. So it's not something I want you to 428 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 2: stress over today, but it's one of those things that 429 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 2: I genuinely think that we are a bit misconstrued because 430 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 2: we're so aligned to Oh, well, in America, you need 431 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 2: to xize it. And I mean every article about it 432 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 2: is often based on the American way of living, and 433 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 2: that's just not how it is in Australia. So you 434 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 2: are not off the grid regardless of whether you have 435 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 2: a credit line or not. 436 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 4: Well, it's actually mind blowing. I really was believing that 437 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 4: the American credit score system was the one that we 438 00:19:58,920 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 4: used as well. 439 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 2: It's actually very different. And I think it's a good 440 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 2: question as well, because it really reiterates that just by 441 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 2: doing good and being good and paying your bills on 442 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 2: time is actually really contributing towards you having a good 443 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 2: and secure financial future. And I hate the idea because 444 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 2: how many times we heard it on the pod before Jess, 445 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 2: or in our community where people are like, oh, when 446 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 2: I turned eighteen, my dad told me to get a 447 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 2: credit card because it will build my credit and it's like, 448 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 2: thank you, bro science, Yeah, bro science. Let's move on 449 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 2: from that though. 450 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 5: If you speaking about helping out ourselves, but what about 451 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 5: helping out our friends, specifically with small businesses. 452 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 2: Oh that was a segue of dreams. I am always 453 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 2: impressed with you. So this week one of you slid 454 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 2: into our DMS and the second I saw this question, 455 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 2: I was like, Jess is going to love this. This 456 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 2: is so spicy. Becky's going to have opinions. So we 457 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,959 Speaker 2: put it on the Instagram stories. You guys gave us 458 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 2: your opinions, but the call out was this. It said, Hey, guys, 459 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 2: I'm face a dilemma all in capital that is, so 460 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 2: it must be a really big dilemma. I have a 461 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 2: close girlfriend who runs her own business, and I really 462 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 2: admire and support her. However, when I ordered something that 463 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 2: was handmade from her came back not at all how 464 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 2: I wanted it. I spent one hundred and twenty dollars 465 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,959 Speaker 2: on it, and I'm currently facing a head versus heart battle. 466 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 2: On one hand, I just want to support her and 467 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 2: I don't want her to feel deflated. But on the 468 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 2: other hand, one hundred and twenty bucks was a bit 469 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 2: of a splash for me, and I either want my 470 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 2: money back or just what I ordered. I hope this 471 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 2: makes sense. I'm really keen to hear your thoughts. Oh 472 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 2: that's a really tricky one. What did you do? 473 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 4: Well, I don't know, Like I want first of all, 474 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 4: I want to know what the product is. 475 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 5: I want to say it's I totally get the need 476 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 5: for anonymity, but also I feel like context is key. Yes, yeah, 477 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 5: we yeah that yeah, because you need to know, like 478 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 5: if it's something that will cost so much money to redo, 479 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 5: or if it's something that would take a little bit 480 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 5: of time but probably not much money, Like we need 481 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 5: to know that kind of thing, like can she redo 482 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 5: the one that you have? Like if you painting, can 483 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 5: she paint over the painting and change it? Or like 484 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 5: is she going to be out for new materials and 485 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 5: new whatever is a piece of is it like pottery? 486 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 2: Proper nose? Before we dive deeper into this, though, can 487 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 2: I just give a little bit of kudos to this 488 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 2: friend for paying full price for something that her friend makes, 489 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 2: because I love to see that, and I think that 490 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 2: if your friend has a business, the most disrespectful thing 491 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 2: you can do is be like, oh my god, I'm 492 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 2: friends with you. Can I have a discount? But I'm sorry, 493 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 2: it's just not appropriate from my perspective, if your friend 494 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 2: gives you a discount unsolicited and says, oh my gosh, like, 495 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 2: of course you can have it for this, like I 496 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 2: don't know, different story, yeah, but like if your friend 497 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 2: is working hard to hustle themselves all the way to 498 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 2: the top, like why should you get it cheaper? 499 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 5: And she really cares about her friend because she's having 500 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 5: this delance, So kudos to that. 501 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 2: I absolutely love it, really smart, but also I feel 502 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 2: like it's too who sided right? Just what would you do? 503 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 5: I feel like I would talk to her, and you know, 504 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 5: you've got to be really delicate about how you approach it. 505 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 5: But I think, like the twofold, firstly, you've invested a 506 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 5: lot of money, and so if it wasn't your friend, 507 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 5: you'd be going back and saying, hey, it's kind of 508 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 5: what I stand for. So I don't think it is 509 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 5: unreasonable to do that. And I think the flip side 510 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 5: of it is if your item didn't come as expected, 511 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 5: there's a good chance that the same thing will happen 512 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 5: to somebody customers who may not be as considerate or 513 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 5: as kind. So I think if you can approach it 514 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 5: with her gently and just say, hey, oh, I was 515 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 5: really excited because in the photo it was pink and blue, 516 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 5: but the one I got is orange or whatever it is, 517 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 5: pointing out and be specific, because I think. 518 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 2: You don't just say it wasn't what I expected. Can 519 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 2: you fix it? Like that's still one helpful Yeah. 520 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 5: I think if you're specific, you can point out exactly 521 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 5: the detail that you don't love, and that gives her 522 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 5: something that she can clearly action and fix. 523 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, agreed. 524 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,479 Speaker 5: It's positive feedback for her to take forward for her 525 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 5: future orders. And also it's a little bit less personal, 526 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 5: like you're not saying, oh, it's shit, I don't like it. 527 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 5: You're like, oh, I just really wanted this color or 528 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 5: this shape or this size or whatever the problem is. 529 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,239 Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more with that, I think that is 530 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 2: nail on the head. I also think to add to that, 531 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 2: I think your friend deserves the feedback. I agree if 532 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 2: you are a genuinely supportive friend of their business, just 533 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 2: letting it lie and somebody else, like the general public 534 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 2: coming back is going to be worse for her because 535 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 2: we've seen it before where people blow up online or 536 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 2: post it on Instagram, or you know, do something that's 537 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 2: maybe not the kindest way to deliver feedback, and you 538 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 2: have this great opportunity to go, hey, back, this is 539 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 2: so awkward for me, and I've really been wondering how 540 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 2: to approach it and to be honest. I just think 541 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 2: honesty is the best policy. This isn't what I expected. 542 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 2: You know, it was green and I wanted orange, and 543 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 2: you know, I don't know where the communication went wrong, 544 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 2: or you know, maybe there's been a material change, like 545 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 2: they've been making this one thing out of a particular 546 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 2: material for a really long time, Like it's you know, 547 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 2: a photo frame and you know it's wood and it's 548 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 2: just changed to like plastic that looks like wood, or 549 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 2: it's just it's not the quality that you know you 550 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 2: used to have, or it's not what I expected. I 551 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 2: think that can actually be really powerful. But I think 552 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 2: as a friend, obviously you're worried about it. But I 553 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 2: think even just prefacing, like Hey, I hope you know 554 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 2: that what I'm about to say is coming from a 555 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 2: place of kindness. I'm not trying to be a dick, 556 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 2: I promise. I think people get the I don't know 557 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 2: sometimes from my perspective, We've talked about this on the 558 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 2: pod before, where it's kind of like get your money's 559 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 2: worth and do this and do that. I also think 560 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 2: that the type of personality I have is the type 561 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 2: where I really need to preface something to make me 562 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 2: comfortable with that situation too. Like it's like when I'm 563 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 2: giving feedback or when I'm locking in a meeting with you, Jess, 564 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 2: I have to be like, hey, can we have a meeting. 565 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 2: Don't worry, it's a good thing. Like I just want 566 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 2: to make sure that you're not anxious about this. I 567 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 2: want to make sure that you're comfortable. And do I 568 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 2: need to do that? Do you need to know? Absolutely not. 569 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 2: But it makes me more comfortable with that, And I 570 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 2: think by saying that that might help you in those conversations. 571 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 2: We asked a few questions on our stories though, and 572 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 2: there seems to be a bit of a thing, right, 573 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 2: So we asked, do you have a close friend who 574 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 2: runs their own business slash side hustle? We love to 575 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 2: see this. Sixty two percent of you said yes, Wow, 576 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 2: isn't that cool? Yeah, she's in the money community, like, oh, 577 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 2: love it. Then we said, have you ever purchased something 578 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 2: from a friend that has a small business? Forty eight 579 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 2: percent of you said absolutely, fourteen percent of you said no, 580 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 2: and thirty eight percent of you hit the button. I 581 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 2: just want to press a button. So cheers for that vice. 582 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 2: But we felt it was important to add that because obviously, 583 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 2: if you just wanted to see the results, you might 584 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 2: have fake voted yeah, right, yes, it's good to see 585 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 2: that forty eight percent of you have done that. I 586 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 2: don't actually think that there should be an obligation to 587 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 2: purchase things from your friend's business either. I know that 588 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 2: supporting your friend is great, and you know, resharing their 589 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 2: business posts and you know, always commenting on things and 590 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 2: showering them with love and supporting every achievement they have 591 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 2: is what we should all be doing. But if it's 592 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 2: not a product you're going to use, I genuinely don't 593 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 2: think you should have an obligation to buy it. I agree. 594 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 2: I think a lot of the time we feel the 595 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 2: need to, though I've been there. I totally have been there. 596 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 2: So of the people we asked, have you ever purchased 597 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 2: an item from a friend, we asked what was your 598 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 2: sole motive behind purchasing that product? Two percent of you, 599 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 2: and this is why I'm saying, you don't have to 600 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,679 Speaker 2: do this. Two percent of you said, arts because I 601 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 2: love the product, five percent of you said because I 602 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 2: really wanted to support my friends lovely, twenty five percent 603 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 2: of you said both of the above, and then thirty 604 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 2: seven percent of you said, do you want to to 605 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 2: press a button? Yeah? 606 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 5: I get it though, because like when you have a 607 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 5: friends startup business and you want to be supportive, and 608 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 5: you kind of go, well, if you're starting fresh from 609 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 5: ground zero, you've got no custodomers, Like unless you've built 610 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 5: up a following or you've got an Instagram page, you 611 00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 5: know they're starting with literally shit all the share there, Like, 612 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 5: there is a lot, as you said, there are a 613 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 5: lot of other things that you can do if you're 614 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,719 Speaker 5: not in a financial position to support them. But I 615 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 5: totally get the oh, I'll be your first order, or oh, 616 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 5: I want them to have a good week, so I'm 617 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 5: going to put one in Like. It's lovely that people 618 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 5: want to support their friends so much. 619 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 2: I'm that friend. But also we are headed towards a recession, 620 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 2: and I don't want people to feel stressed about money, 621 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 2: especially when it comes to supporting a friend's business. You 622 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 2: can do that. To be honest, in the long term, 623 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,479 Speaker 2: just buying from them is not nearly as powerful as 624 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 2: sharing them with your community or positively advocating for them 625 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 2: or giving them a Google review or something like that 626 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 2: can actually build business for them in the future for 627 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 2: recurrent orders, whereas you just ordering it once off might 628 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 2: feel really special, but it's not nearly as powerful. Yes, 629 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 2: we asked our community in this situation, what would you do? 630 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 2: Thirty percent of you said I would give her the feedback. 631 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,719 Speaker 2: Twenty three percent of you said I'd just feel too 632 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 2: bad and I wouldn't do that. 633 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 5: Yeah. 634 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 2: Another thirty three percent of you said it really depends 635 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 2: on the circumstanceays A fourteen percent of you said do 636 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 2: you want to press a button? 637 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 5: Yeah? 638 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 2: Of that, some of the opinions were really nice. They said, 639 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 2: I'd flag it with her in the nicest way possible. 640 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 2: I love her. Someone said I wouldn't say it, but 641 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 2: I just wouldn't buy it again, which I get it, 642 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 2: But is that constructive not helping anybody? Someone said, serve 643 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 2: it as a feedback sandwich emerge. I love a feedback. 644 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 2: Should we step it back to management one O one 645 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 2: in twenty ten? Or like a feedback sandwich is where 646 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 2: you give a positive thing, a negative thing a positive 647 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 2: thing and use, like sandwich it all together to make 648 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 2: it feel better. I agree.
