Yeah, yeah, yeah, pay 130 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 5: to play, baby exactly. All right, what have you got? Okay, 131 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 5: So I have, as always two from the community, one 132 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 5: for myself. So we'll start off with Taylor. This one's 133 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 5: like from Taylor, but also from my girlfriend, who gave 134 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 5: me the exact same bit of advice just over the weekend. 135 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 5: So they both say, get your fruits and veg from 136 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 5: farmers markets, the local markets that my partner goes to, 137 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 5: Paran Market. She paid thirty five dollars for a huge 138 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 5: box of fruit and veg and she made like this 139 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 5: soup that will last the entire week. That's a whole 140 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 5: week of dinners. I'm pretty sure it's for her and 141 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 5: her housemates. So a whole week of dinners for two people. 142 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 5: I feel like you could probably even get more out 143 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 5: of it. She chucked a lot into this soup. But 144 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 5: you could really extend this. This could last weeks conceivably, 145 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 5: so giant box of fruit and vege. Go to your 146 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,679 Speaker 5: local farmer's market. 147 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 2: Farmer's Market's also really wholesome. 148 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 4: That's an activity, that's a free activity, even if you're 149 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 4: not planning on purchasing anything. 150 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 6: Back. 151 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 4: Next Sunday morning, you and I could go to the 152 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 4: farmer's market. We could make our own coffees, take them, 153 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 4: wander round. 154 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 5: Feel wholesome. That's so wholesome. It is really wholesome. It's 155 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 5: so good for the mental health. Like I don't know 156 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 5: what it is about, what's the science, but. 157 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 2: I think it's actually getting out in their fresh air. Yeah, 158 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 2: probably that's what it is. 159 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 5: Like that's actually scientifically proven to help you. I really 160 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 5: love that. So that is one broke tip. The other 161 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 5: one comes from Megan or Meghan. I'm sorry I'm saying 162 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 5: this wrong. This is very clever. No need for dry 163 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 5: shampoo use Bi carves soda instead. She pops it in 164 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 5: a little salt shaker and it's instant dry shampoo. So 165 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 5: I've never had to use dry shampoo. We don't really 166 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 5: know how it all works, to be honest with you, 167 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 5: but I'm obsessed with dry shampoo, and I feel like 168 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 5: that is a great hack. Yeah, Like it's I mean, 169 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 5: I don't know how much it costs, but it's you know, 170 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 5: bike up soda I'm assuming is less than hand bugs 171 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 5: of box. 172 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, Like dry shampoo is expensive.

Yeah, 189 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 4: sometimes you do need to have a shower. 190 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 2: Totally get that.

So the next broke tip is obviously 204 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 5: from myself. This one I have done in the past, 205 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 5: and it obviously depends on the person and where you're 206 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 5: at in your life and things like that. But I was, 207 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 5: you know, as usual, really broke at another point in 208 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 5: my life. And so what I did was I signed 209 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 5: up to a clinical trial. There was one that was 210 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 5: like three you get like three fifty dollars calls gift 211 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 5: fouches if you just attend three times. All I did 212 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 5: was I went to this like UNI, and I sat 213 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 5: in an MRI and I literally just had straws in 214 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 5: my mouth and. 215 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 2: Had straws in your mouth. I did. I had to 216 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 2: drink milkshakes and look at a screen. You had to 217 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 2: drink milkshakes. 218 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 6: I don't know. 219 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 2: I didn't understand it. I didn't understand the science pop 220 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: I was in the milkshakes. 221 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 5: There was a strawberry one, a chocolate one, but then 222 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 5: also a carrot juice and an orange juice, and it 223 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 5: all sounds like do. 224 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 2: You know what the name of the study was. I'm 225 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 2: so sorry, I don't remember, but I do know. They're 226 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 2: just like, we're just testing our brunch options. 227 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. 228 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 2: I couldn't really figure out. I think they were trying 229 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 2: to figure out was there something in the juice. No, 230 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 2: they were. 231 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 5: Trying to figure out like satisfaction if you are, like 232 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 5: how you perceive food if you're That's the other thing 233 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 5: I didn't. I couldn't eat at the beginning of the day, 234 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 5: So satisfaction based on if you ate the start of 235 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 5: the day and if you didn't something like that. It 236 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 5: was but Anyway, So this three times, I was there 237 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 5: for like twenty minutes each time, and sometimes. 238 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 4: I go, my life's really boring. I'm gonna call Beck, Like, honestly, 239 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 4: you've always got something that you've been doing that is 240 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 4: super interesting and really left field, Like I cannot go. Oh, 241 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 4: I'll call Beck and see if she's had like an 242 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 4: interesting week at work. 243 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 2: Sure, not like any of my other friends. 244 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 4: You're like, So I went to this university and I 245 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 4: drank carriage juice, like what? 246 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 2: And you got paid for the I certainly did, and 247 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 2: that was enough and there was nothing in the carrot juice. 248 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 5: Not that I'm aware of, but I just I always 249 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 5: remember leaving there feeling like really a bit sickly. But anyway, 250 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 5: because they would fill me to the brim with liquids. 251 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: Couldn't be vague because you had to drink some milkshakes. No, 252 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 2: that's true. And so this is the thing. 253 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 5: So if you just google clinical trials, it was another 254 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 5: one that I was very close to doing, but something 255 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 5: came up. I'm not sure it was, but you stay 256 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 5: in hospital for like three nights, you get like literally 257 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 5: four thousand dollars. They're just trialing a new drug or 258 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 5: something like that.

I have generational money trauma from my 307 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 4: parents who lived way beyond their means and should have 308 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 4: been able to retire now, but continue to live outside 309 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 4: what they earn. I'm trying so hard to change this 310 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 4: narrative for my kids. 311 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 2: Isn't that cute? 312 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm really sorry that you went through that, 313 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 4: because that just would have felt like trash, like, you know, 314 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 4: going away for the weekend and then realizing you didn't 315 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 4: have the cash and just being. 316 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 2: Like why are we doing this? 317 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 4: Like, but I hope you still enjoyed your weekend totally. 318 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 4: I'm so glad your husband's now on board.

Really, you've got so much 339 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 4: time to make it up.

But I found organic eggs 344 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 4: for half price at five bucks reduced in that little 345 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 4: sale section at Woollies they sometimes have, considering it's usually 346 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 4: about twelve bucks a dozen. I may have gotten a 347 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 4: couple of dozen, and I partly stocked my freezer with 348 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 4: some veggie slice for another time. Nice, isn't that good. Yeah, 349 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 4: very genius, genius, Melissa, here you go. I've got a 350 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 4: few of these.

This week, Melissa bit the bullet 352 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 4: and I paid off a fifteen hundred dollar credit card. 353 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 4: Whilst my savings did take a hit, it feels nice 354 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 4: to have one thing completely gone. 355 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 5: That's so good. Good for you, babe, you. 356 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 4: Know us as a queen sus because do you know 357 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 4: what her comment was? Four words?

Oh yes, lay queen, that's 359 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 4: so good, and that I have two more for you. 360 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 2: Just I couldn't stop. 361 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 4: I'm really sorry, so Annabelle said. My partner and I 362 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 4: have started shopping at the markets like your broke tip, 363 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 4: and if we can't find what we want, we go 364 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 4: to Audi. We keep all the receipts and then go 365 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 4: onto the coals app and put in what we bought 366 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 4: closest possible, obviously, and whatever the difference is, we put 367 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 4: that money in a separate savings account. 368 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 2: Nice. 369 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 4: Well, it didn't take long for us to save a 370 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 4: decent amount, and we were able to celebrate my partner's 371 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 4: graduation with a really nice dinner from all those savings. 372 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 2: So good. Yeah, I really like that. I like how 373 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 2: it kind of makes sense as well. 374 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 4: It's like you're actually going in and transferring the difference 375 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 4: between what you would have paid and what you did 376 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 4: pay so that the savings add up. But you can 377 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 4: see it like it feels good as well, and we 378 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 4: all love a feel good money. Oh yeah, like not 379 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 4: just like, oh yeah, saved some money. I think, like, no, 380 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 4: she's added it up and then she could have a 381 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 4: bougie dinner. 382 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, slay. I love this. 383 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 4: And then the last one I've got is from Tara 384 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 4: and Tara says, I used a bulk payment from a 385 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 4: client for my side hustle to pay out all my 386 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 4: remaining debts, get six months ahead on my phone bill, 387 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 4: and contribute significantly to my emergency fund. 388 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 2: That's so good. Must have been a nice amount of money, Tara. 389 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 2: She said, I also. 390 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 4: Googled product for this client at four am and achieved 391 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 4: a significant discount, so my overhead's dropped and I had a. 392 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 2: Little more profit. 393 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 4: So I pre bought three weeks worth of meat to 394 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 4: freeze so my kids and I don't run out down 395 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 4: the train. These are huge money wins. For me after 396 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,959 Speaker 4: a few months of transitional wages, moving expenses and living 397 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 4: really lean. 398 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 2: Isn't that cool? 399 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 5: Yeah? 400 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 2: Really cool. 401 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 4: She finally had a big win. Like it was like 402 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 4: that light at the end of the tunnel. She was like, Oh, 403 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,239 Speaker 4: finally I can get rid of my debt, I can 404 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 4: pay off my phone bill. And she got ahead stocked 405 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 4: up the phraser so that she's comfy in the future. 406 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 2: Is that not the best? I just love people. I 407 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 2: love people. 408 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 4: I love it anyway. That's all I've got from the community. 409 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 4: I reckon, we go to a really quick break and 410 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 4: on the flip side, beck we're going to be talking 411 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 4: all about aprs versus interest rates, and we're going to 412 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 4: unpack something you slid into our DMS about which this 413 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 4: week is about having to pay when you pull out 414 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 4: of a wedding due to pregnancy complications.

Now, let's take a listen to 424 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 4: this week's money dilemma. 425 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 6: Hey, girls, my money dilemma is about aprs versus interest rates. 426 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 6: I have a loan at the moment, and I've had 427 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 6: it for a couple of years. I've now started to 428 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 6: learn a little bit more education around finances, and I've 429 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 6: decided that I think it's best to consolidate it into 430 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 6: a new loan provider with a lower interest rate, so 431 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 6: I'm not paying as much long term. I'm just a 432 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 6: little bit stuck on the difference between an APR and 433 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 6: an interest rate. My current provider has a forty seven 434 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 6: percent APR, which seems quite high from the research I'm doing, 435 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 6: but I'm not too sure. 436 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, oh yeah, Okay, buckle up, you guys APR. 437 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 2: I am buckled up, Becky. 438 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 5: Are you answering this hun interest rate and APR? 439 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 2: Nice? 440 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 5: The difference is substantially substantial, and so I think, now, Victoria, 441 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 5: I kind of want to test you here. 442 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 4: Is this like when you're like writing your English literature 443 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 4: examining Grade twelve and you're just trying to meet word count. 444 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 2: Yes, that's the vibe I'm picking up from you. 445 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a little bit like that at the moment. 446 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 5: But because I've taught you so much, v I feel 447 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 5: like I want to hear you answer this one, just 448 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 5: to see if you've been paying attention. 449 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 2: If I've been paying attention to I love that. Thank 450 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 2: you so much for this opportunity. 451 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 4: I have been away for a while, but I also 452 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 4: am a little bit of a finance girly, So let's 453 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 4: just backtrack a little bit. And APR is the total 454 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 4: annual percentage race, and this is the rate that can 455 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 4: be used to calculate the cost of a loan, taking 456 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 4: into account the reducing balance. So obviously you're paying it 457 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 4: off during the year of the loan amount expressed as 458 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 4: an annual rate, so how much are you going to 459 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 4: pay in a year? So for these purposes, the cost 460 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 4: of the loan is exclusive of fees, So we don't 461 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 4: want to talk about the fees and stuff like that 462 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 4: as well, because otherwise we're getting a little bit too complicated. 463 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 4: APR it's a term that's often used by mortgage providers, 464 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 4: so like banks or credit unions or even credit card providers, 465 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 4: and they calculate it by applying the rate to your loans, 466 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 4: reducing balance over time, and then standardizing on an annual 467 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 4: basis regardless of the actual term, so regardless of how 468 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 4: long the mortgage is for. Right. So APR can be 469 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 4: used for like comparison purposes, but it can't actually be 470 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 4: used to calculate the amount of interest you will pay 471 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 4: each year because that's actually impossible. Simple interest, or your 472 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 4: interest rate, on the other hand, is the interest that 473 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 4: you pay your lender on top of the actual amount 474 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 4: that you borrow. So like that may it's very simple. 475 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 4: That's why it's called simple interest, and the simple interest 476 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 4: rate is a fixed percentage of that lump sum amount. Right, 477 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 4: So what do you need to know about this? You're 478 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 4: gonna always find beck that the APR appears high for 479 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 4: short term loans, but for long term loans it's lower. 480 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 4: So it can actually be quite confusing if you're taking 481 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 4: out a loan across several decades. So what you would 482 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 4: usually do when taking out a mortgage, which our community 483 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 4: member has done or is looking at. Right, So, for example, 484 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 4: if your APR on a five hundred thousand dollars home loan, 485 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 4: is five percent. You'll also need to consider the total 486 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,959 Speaker 4: interest percentage, so the tip, which is one hundred percent, 487 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 4: So like you're going to pay one hundred percent of 488 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 4: the interest, you're not going to get off the hook 489 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 4: for any of it. That means that you'll end up 490 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 4: paying one million dollars total over a thirty year mortgage. 491 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 4: So for a five hundred thousand dollar loan with your 492 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 4: interest rate at five percent, you'll end up paying for 493 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 4: thirty years a total back to the bank of a 494 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 4: million dollars. Does that make sense? So we're calculating how 495 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 4: much the house was, so five hundred grand. You might go, oh, 496 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 4: my purchase price was five hundred thousand dollars for this 497 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 4: apartment or this house, But then we actually need to 498 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 4: look at, well, how much interest are you paying back, 499 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 4: because like the sales stick her on the front of 500 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 4: the property. Sure, that's not what you're actually paying. You're 501 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 4: actually paying interest, and that comes out at a million dollars. 502 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 4: And this is what she's talking about. And this is 503 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 4: why I think, in a very long way, I want 504 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 4: to draw attention to this because so many times we 505 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 4: just go, oh, my house was five hundred grand, yay, 506 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 4: and you go great, and your interest rate, Oh, I 507 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 4: got a really good interest rates, you know, five percent. 508 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 2: At the moment, you. 509 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 4: Go, well, what does that actually mean? Like, what's the 510 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 4: interest rate going to mean that I pay back over 511 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 4: the life of the loan? And most people will get 512 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 4: a thirty year mortgage, right, So if I've got a 513 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 4: thirty year mortgage, how much interest am I going to 514 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 4: pay over that period of time? Beck, The answer is 515 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 4: half a million dollars. 516 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 2: That is outrageous. 517 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 4: Well, it's good to know as well, and it's good 518 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 4: to know that our community member is not just looking 519 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 4: at an interest rate going how does this? You know, worker, 520 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 4: do I feel comfy with it? She's actually doing the 521 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 4: math and going, okay, well, over the long term, this 522 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 4: means this. So by contrast, simple interest is like a 523 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 4: fixed rate, so it would be like that five percent. 524 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 4: So you go and get a five hundred thousand dollar 525 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 4: loan and it's five percent, and it's really easy to 526 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 4: work that out. So let's say you take out like 527 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 4: a ten thousand dollar personal loan with a six month 528 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 4: term and an interest rate of eleven percent. 529 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 6: Right. 530 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 4: The formula would then be you do ten thousand dollars 531 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 4: times eleven percent, so point one to one, and then 532 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 4: you do times point oh five, Sorry, then you do 533 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 4: times point five because it's for half a year. That 534 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 4: equals five hundred and fifty dollars. So that is the 535 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 4: simple interest that you would pay over the length of 536 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 4: that loan. So to take out a ten thousand dollars 537 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 4: personal loan at eleven percent for six months you're paying that, 538 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 4: you're paying five hundred and fifty dollars for that privilege. 539 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 4: Sure does that make sense? So like there's simple interest 540 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 4: for short periods of time, then there's the tip and 541 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 4: that's for a longer period of time. 542 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,239 Speaker 2: So do all mortgage brokers and lenders look at this? 543 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 2: Not necessarily, She's doing a lot more research than many 544 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 2: of us will do. It's important to understand forty seven 545 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 2: percent does feel quite high, but again the market is 546 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 2: a little bit off, and what I would be doing 547 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 2: is going and talking to a mortgage broker. 548 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 4: So it sounds like you're doing a lot of this yourself. 549 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 4: Your mortgage broker is going to be your best friend, 550 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 4: and I mean not so subtle plugged to the girls 551 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 4: that Zella money like, I obviously am obsessed with that 552 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 4: business because it is my own and we talk to 553 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 4: people every single day about this stuff. So go and 554 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 4: talk to somebody who does this and it is their 555 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 4: bread and butter, and they do it and could do 556 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 4: it in their sleep. To make sure that you're not 557 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 4: getting overwhelmed by terms that aren't as important, I would 558 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 4: say as the outcome. The outcome is, Becky, you're comfortable 559 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 4: with the interest rate and how much you're going to 560 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 4: be paying for the property over the long term doesn't 561 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 4: make financial sense to you and you might say yeah, 562 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 4: or you might say absolutely not. And that's where a 563 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 4: mortgage broker is going to help you to really simplify things. 564 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 4: Do that makes sense because I feel like maybe our 565 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 4: community member is getting into a really deep rabbit hole 566 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 4: of like, Okay, well this means this, and that means 567 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 4: that now I'm overwhelmed and I have analysis pro system. 568 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 4: You don't deserve that during your home buying journey. We 569 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 4: want it to be stressed free totally. 570 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 5: The only thing I'm kind of confused about isn't APR 571 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 5: different to TIP yes? And can you choose between the two. 572 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 2: You can't choose between the two. 573 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 4: Just like methodologies of calculating things like oh it's not 574 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 4: you know, you get a choice of paying one or 575 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 4: the other. Sure, like the bank is going to give 576 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,719 Speaker 4: you an interest rate. An APR is just an annual 577 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 4: percentage rate, and so she would have calculated that herself 578 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 4: more often than not. It's not something that we usually 579 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 4: provide clients with unless they ask for it. And it's 580 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 4: because of analysis paralysis. It's too much information, it's too 581 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 4: much information overload, and it doesn't usually serve us. You know, 582 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 4: that's where my brain would be at. It's not necessarily 583 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 4: like one is better than the other. It's just, you know, 584 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 4: I could look at your investment portfolio and what you 585 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 4: already own and calculate lots of different things from it. 586 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 2: Does it mean good or bad things? Not necessarily. 587 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 4: You also have to kind of like zoom out and 588 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 4: look at the market and be like, okay, well the 589 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 4: interest rates right now are higher, Like you're not going 590 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,959 Speaker 4: to get away with it for cheaper unfortunately, Like there 591 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 4: are no mortgage facilities out there offering a two percent 592 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 4: interest rate anymore. 593 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 2: I wish they were. I already would have gone to 594 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 2: them myself. 595 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 4: Personally, I think it's important to remember as well when 596 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 4: we're looking at mortgages and when we're looking at, you know, 597 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 4: making big purchases. Sometimes relying on the professionals is going 598 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 4: to make you a lot more comfortable with that journey. 599 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 4: Like I know, Beck, if I sent you down the 600 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 4: rabbit hole of buying your first home, you would get 601 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 4: analysis paralysis because I know you well enough to go. 602 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 4: Beck would be trying to look at everything and make 603 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 4: sure it's okay. Whereas if I had stepped in and said, 604 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 4: all right, well let me help you through this and go, yeah, 605 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 4: that's fine, Beck, don't worry about this, do worry about that. 606 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 4: Look at this, you know, when you go in, here's 607 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 4: a list of all your first inspection things. You're just 608 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 4: going to be way more empowered. 609 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, go and. 610 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 4: Get a professional on your team. Because you don't pay 611 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 4: your mortgage broker. We get paid by the banks. The 612 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 4: banks are going to pay us when I get you 613 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 4: your loan, and it's in my best interest to make 614 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 4: sure you're in the best possible position. Yeah, So definitely 615 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 4: use a service like a mortgage broker, whether it is 616 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 4: us or is somebody else. I think it is just 617 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 4: really important to have a professional on your team when 618 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 4: you're making arguably the biggest financial decision of your life. 619 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 5: M absolutely, and then because you're spaking to a mortgage 620 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 5: broke up, there's anything in what Victoria just said. If 621 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 5: you say you're speaking to them in person, you can 622 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 5: ask as you go. 623 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, just call them and be like, hey, VD, so 624 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 4: I don't need to talk to you, and hopefully they 625 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 4: know what you're talking about. 626 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 2: They won't, but that's okay, that is solid advice. 627 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 4: Let's move on because I've got one that I think 628 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 4: it's going to be pretty simple from you and I beck, Yeah, 629 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 4: are you ready? Well, you received a DM this week 630 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 4: and it was frustrating for me. Anyway, let's hear it, Hi, 631 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 4: she's on the money. My friend needs advice. A while back, 632 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 4: she was invited to an interstate wedding. She knew she'd 633 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 4: be thirty five weeks pregnant on the date of the wedding, 634 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 4: but as it was a close friend, she got the 635 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 4: green light from her OBI and rsvped yes excitedly. She 636 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 4: booked her accommodation and had every single intention of going. 637 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 4: But fast forward to the current time, it's looking like 638 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 4: her due date's going to be pushed up, so her 639 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 4: OBEI doesn't really want her traveling she's had to tell 640 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 4: the bride she can't make it anymore. It's about a 641 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 4: month out from the wedding, so it's not super last minute, 642 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 4: and it's as early as she could tell her. The 643 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 4: bride's reply has us shook. She's requesting her friend reimburse 644 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 4: her for three hundred and seventy five dollars, as she 645 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 4: said she can't afford it, and she's already paid for 646 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 4: her and it's too late for her to invite somebody else. 647 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 4: She said, my friend didn't take her wedding seriously and 648 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 4: should if RSVPID know from the beginning, is it really 649 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 4: okay to ask guests to pay the cost if circumstances 650 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 4: change and they can't attend anymore, should my friend pay? 651 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 2: What's the etiquette here? 652 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 4: We need other opinions, as we think it's a bit ridiculous. 653 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 2: This is really mean? Actually is it mean? 654 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 5: It's like, I mean, I totally get it if she 655 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 5: kind of like didn't even check. She was just being like, oh, 656 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,479 Speaker 5: I can definitely do that. Yeah, I'll be super pregnant, 657 00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 5: but I'm just gonna wing it. I'm just gonna like 658 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 5: but she like checked with her obi everything was all good. 659 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 5: She had absolutely no control over this whatsoever. I think 660 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 5: it's so mean to be like, well, you gotta pay. Also, 661 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 5: it's a month out still, like there's plenty of time 662 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 5: to be like, literally anyone here, Hey, can you bring 663 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 5: a friend? Like literally anyone? You get anyone in a 664 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 5: month's time? You know what I mean? 665 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:18,479 Speaker 1: Yeah? 666 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 2: No, I agree. 667 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 4: The other thing I would say is, can we just 668 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 4: step back back? If you go to a wedding, how 669 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 4: much you're spending on the present? Is it three hundred 670 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 4: and seventy five dollars not? 671 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 2: Hopefully not? I would hope not. That's a lot of money. 672 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, in my head, Like, there's so much wedding etiquette right, like, 673 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 4: and I think it depends on your friendship group and 674 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 4: your circumstances and like what you can afford, because to 675 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 4: be honest, you don't owe anybody a gift. If you've 676 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 4: been invited to their wedding, you go to celebrate their 677 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 4: love and that's it. 678 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 2: Like, I don't think that people should be expecting gifts. 679 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 2: I don't know. 680 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 4: I specifically called out at my wedding, and this is 681 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 4: just because I felt like we were already in a 682 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 4: privileged position. I was like, I don't want gifts. Thanks, 683 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 4: but I just think that that's not fair. I already 684 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 4: lived with my husband. I don't need you to set 685 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 4: up my house. Like all of this is, you know, 686 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 4: all good. Thanks though, Yeah, and everyone's different, but like 687 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 4: three hundred and seventy five dollars is not what she 688 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 4: would have paid anyway, like for the wedding to attend. 689 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 4: Like I'm assuming because sometimes you go all right, well, 690 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 4: like it's one hundred dollars ahead or whatever for food 691 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 4: and beverages, Like I'm just gonna pop that in a 692 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 4: you know, wishing World card. Or maybe she was real 693 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 4: savvy and was a bit of a she's on the money. 694 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 4: I went down to like DFO and bought really beautiful 695 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 4: photo frame or like did some art for her herself, 696 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 4: and like sure that was the gift. Yeah, Like I 697 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 4: don't know, there's just a lot going on here for 698 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 4: me because obviously at thirty five weeks when I was pregnant, 699 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 4: I could do a lot of things. I did have 700 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 4: a lot of complications, which meant that every day I 701 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 4: had to check my blood pressure and that would then 702 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 4: dictate what I could do that day. So if my 703 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 4: blood pressure was good, great, you can go to Taylor Swift, Victoria, 704 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 4: I went to Taylor Swift and partied my butt off 705 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 4: at thirty eight tweeks pregnant. Like, you can do it, 706 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,719 Speaker 4: I promise, but you've got to, you know, know yourself 707 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 4: if your obstetrician has said absolutely not sorry, but you 708 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 4: just can't do it. Yeah, Like you're putting your baby 709 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 4: at risk, exactly. So that's complicated to begin with. But 710 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 4: then for her friend to invoice her with a month's notice. 711 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 4: Please don't get me wrong, but you're confirming menu items, 712 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 4: you're confirming head count as somebody who's gotten married are 713 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 4: two weeks before. 714 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 2: Yes, So like I think that's enough notice. 715 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, So I would be like, also, is this not 716 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 4: one of the things that you allocate for? Like I 717 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 4: remember planning our wedding and going cool. You know, I 718 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 4: think we had one hundred and twenty two people at 719 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 4: our wedding. Beck. I just knew that on the day, 720 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty two people is a lot of people. 721 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 4: Something for someone is going to go wrong and they 722 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 4: might not be able to attend. That's a cost I 723 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 4: just have to cover. If you can't afford to cover 724 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 4: one or two people who can't attend. 725 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 2: Why are you spending so much on the wedding to 726 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 2: begin with? 727 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 4: Are you financially putting yourself out? And we need think 728 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 4: about this, Yes, I don't know. I just feel like 729 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 4: if it's so much money that you can't afford it 730 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 4: to not be reimbursed, your wedding could have been put 731 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 4: off for a bit. 732 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 5: Longer, yeah, or just like you don't have to spend 733 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 5: that much, you know what I mean? But also like 734 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 5: she's already paid for accommodation and everything. 735 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 2: Like I just feel like this poor. 736 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 4: Person, she's probably out for accommodation in a deposit or whatnot. 737 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 4: And then if you think about it, like three hundred 738 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 4: and seventy five dollars, that's more money than her like 739 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 4: food and beverage surely, yeah, who's paying. 740 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 2: Three hundred and seventy five dollars? 741 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: Yeah? 742 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 2: What are you getting for? 743 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 4: Like? And I just again, I don't want to make 744 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 4: this all about me, but I had a pretty expensive 745 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 4: wedding back It didn't cost me three hundred and seventy 746 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 4: five dollars ahead for just the food and the bridge 747 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 4: and the seat at the table. Don't get me wrong, 748 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 4: Like I'm sure that once we calculated out decorations and 749 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 4: venue and all of that, but like, you're already going 750 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 4: to be paying those overheads irrespective of whether Becketten's or not. 751 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, so, like, what's the deal? That's so true? Yeah, 752 00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 2: I don't know. 753 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 5: Objectively, No, in this situation, absolutely not, But yeah, I think. 754 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 2: So how do you have that conversation? Though? 755 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 4: Like that's awkward, So let's make the community answer. Yeah, okay, Yes, 756 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 4: I was like, you don't have to do this. We 757 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 4: asked the community. We said, let's talk wedding etiquette. What 758 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 4: do you think is okay and what isn't okay to 759 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 4: do in this situation? So lots of diverse responses, as always, 760 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 4: which is one of my favorite things. Both people knew 761 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 4: the potential risks of not being able to attend. It's 762 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 4: out of the friend's control. But isn't it nice that 763 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 4: her friend tried her hardest to be there to begin with? 764 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 6: Yeah? 765 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 2: I agree. 766 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 4: The next is if I was canceling for a different reason, 767 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 4: I'd expect to pay, but not in this case. Someone said, 768 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 4: all couples need to factor in that these things can 769 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 4: happen at their wedding life happens, it's not your guest's fault. 770 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 4: Someone else said she replied yes with the info she 771 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 4: had at the time. It's not like she was being malicious. 772 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 4: The bride needs to get over it. M hmm. 773 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 2: The next is if canceling was a. 774 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 4: Big deal, they should have made that really clear earlier 775 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 4: on that it wouldn't be acceptable. 776 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 2: It's a good point. 777 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 4: Also, if someone said v by the way, I know you' 778 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 4: virus vp'd yes to my wedding, but it's a really 779 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 4: big deal. If you counsel later like I'm going to 780 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 4: charge you, I'm going to do this, I'm going to 781 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,399 Speaker 4: do that, I'd be like better RSVP. No, now there, 782 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 4: it's just in case, Like, it's just better for me 783 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 4: not to be in this situation like wild. Someone said, 784 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 4: my partner offered to pay for his place when he 785 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 4: had to cancel it the last minute. 786 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 2: A month is not last minute. 787 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 4: Yes, you know what if I was canceling my friend's 788 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,720 Speaker 4: wedding last minute and being like I can't come anymore, 789 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 4: I would offer, but I would also assume that my 790 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 4: friend would probably decline that offer. 791 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 2: I think it all gets lumped in together. Yeah, I 792 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know what's right or wrong. 793 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:43,399 Speaker 1: Here. 794 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 4: Someone said, the friend handled it great. The bride is 795 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 4: being ridiculous. The bride could invite someone else. She has 796 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:50,439 Speaker 4: plenty of time. 797 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 2: Back to your plenty of time. It's a month. Yeah, 798 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 2: it's a month. Seriously, And like. 799 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 4: With weddings, I don't know how big her wedding is. 800 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 4: Let's pretend she invited absolutely every single human that she knew. 801 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 4: In that case, big wedding that cost shouldn't be as 802 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 4: big as you're making it out to be. Or if 803 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 4: you're real savage and had to cull last minute, Hey, beck, 804 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,720 Speaker 4: I know you didn't make the cart, but a spot 805 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:16,760 Speaker 4: has popped up and. 806 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 2: You are the person I thought of. That's still really 807 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 2: nice exactly. 808 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 5: Or there's going to be at least one person at 809 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 5: least who's like, I actually don't know anyone this wedding. 810 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 5: I'd love to bring a plus one, so there's someone 811 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 5: there that's dying for a plus one. 812 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 2: Someone said, what is good notice? 813 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 4: Then if a month isn't enough, Yeah, exactly, Like how 814 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,720 Speaker 4: much notice do I have to give people for stuff? 815 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 4: Someone said, pregnant friends should not be reimbursing. She has 816 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 4: a child on the way. She does not need that 817 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 4: stress and she tried her hardest. Someone else said the 818 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 4: brightest spent the money. Regardless of whether that guest comes 819 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,760 Speaker 4: or not. All she's losing is a friend. 820 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 821 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 4: I think that's a good place to leave it. We 822 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 4: also surveyed you guys, so normal comments, but these are 823 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 4: the questions Beck that we asked the community. We said, 824 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 4: would you ask guests to pay if they canceled their 825 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 4: attendance to your wedding close to the date. Sixty seven 826 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 4: percent said definitely, not, thirty percent said it really depends 827 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 4: on how close to the date it was, and two 828 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 4: percent said yeah, I would. So it's the minority of 829 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 4: people who think that you owe. Yeah, definitely, I would. 830 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 2: Deal with it. 831 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 4: However, you feel most comfortable if that means that you 832 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,800 Speaker 4: don't pay.
