But Hannah, your 38 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 2: TikTok bio says you used to be average, but you're 39 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 2: trying to be better and the content that you create 40 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: is really around money and music and lifestyle. And you've 41 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: recently gone viral a few times and been picked up 42 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 2: by the likes of the Daily Mail, which can be 43 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 2: good and can be bad. Let's be honest, because you 44 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 2: are so brutally honest about your budgeting. Tell me why 45 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 2: you started creating content like this? 46 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: Oh? 47 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 4: I love this. In this season, I'm just obsessed with 48 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 4: speaking about money, so I'm just like so excited for 49 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 4: this conversation. 50 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 2: The same girl, welcome to the show. 51 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel bad. Why did I start creating content 52 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 4: like this? I saw something on my for you page 53 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 4: that was a what I spend in a week and 54 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 4: it was by a TikTok creator Ella McGrath I think 55 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 4: her name is. I love her content, and I was 56 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 4: so incredibly triggered and I was just like I remember 57 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 4: hearing my internal voice just be like I would never 58 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 4: ever share what I spend my money on on the internet. 59 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: But then you did. Though. 60 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 4: Immediately I clocked that, and I was like, that is interesting. 61 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 4: I don't have that feeling about many things. And I 62 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 4: was like, well, that's exactly what I'm going to do. 63 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 4: And it was like the next day I started planning, 64 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 4: Like it took me a little while to plan how 65 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 4: I was going to execute it, but I was like, 66 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 4: this is something I'm going to do. 67 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 2: I love it because it's not just oh, here's how 68 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 2: a budget works, and I feel like so many times 69 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: when I see content creators online creating budget content, I 70 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: don't know how to articulate this without offending anyone. And 71 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: you and Ella are great at being transparent, but there 72 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: seems to be this really aspirational vibe from their content 73 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: where a lot of people might look at it and go, oh, 74 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 2: they are actually like obviously they're sharing their budget because 75 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: they're really good at it. Like, oh, they're obviously sharing 76 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 2: their budget because they're a really high income earner and 77 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 2: you know they can afford for oat lata a day 78 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: and that seems really fair, and you kind of go, well, 79 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: how have you found this balance? I suppose of just 80 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 2: being like, nah, let's be real. It's me. I'm Hannah, 81 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: I have a husband, I have a beautiful son, and 82 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: you know this is what we spend and this month, 83 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,679 Speaker 2: like we didn't save and we had a really great time. 84 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 2: How has that content shaped the type of following that 85 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: you've gained since then? Like is it all about being transparent? 86 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: Are you now empowered by it? Or are you like 87 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: far out? I wish I didn't share that, So I. 88 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 4: Am so empowered by it. I think a big thing 89 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 4: and this obviously ties so much into like my money story. 90 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 4: When I grew up, my family had a lot of 91 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 4: secrecy and shame around money, or it was just something 92 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 4: that was argued about, so it was just like, Okay, 93 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 4: cool money equals problems. So when I grew up to 94 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 4: be an adult and have my own money, I just 95 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 4: had no concept on being sensible with that money. It 96 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 4: was such an uncomfortable relationship with money. So I feel 97 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 4: like I started to notice, especially after becoming a mum, 98 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 4: other moms I would talk to, like I don't know 99 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 4: which just people I was speaking to, but there's just 100 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 4: a lot of secrecy and a lot of like you know, 101 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 4: people holding back when speaking about money. And I just 102 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 4: thought this could be so empowering, Like if I saw 103 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 4: this content five years ago, oh my god, like I 104 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 4: would feel so empowered and so seen. And that was 105 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 4: exactly the feedback I got. People are messaging me just 106 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 4: being like I feel so seen by your content with 107 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 4: your budgeting, like and people stop me on the street 108 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 4: They're like, oh my god, I love your budgeting content. 109 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 4: I'm like, never did I ever one think I'd be 110 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 4: known for budgeting. Secondly, be on a finance podcast like 111 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 4: this is someone who's you know, habitually told myself I'm 112 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 4: bad with money, So it's like, literally, who is she? 113 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 2: So tell me a bit about who you used to be. 114 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 2: I suppose in your TikTok buyo you say used to 115 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 2: be average, but I'm trying to be better. What does 116 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 2: used to be average even mean? 117 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 4: So this is a preface for a lot of my 118 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 4: content in the direction I'm going at the moment. Because 119 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 4: I was like that notorious party girl, terrible with money, 120 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 4: and upon reflection, like my early twenties, mid twenties was 121 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 4: a lot of self discovery but kind of catapultar Like 122 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 4: my parents split up when I was in year twelve, 123 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 4: so about twenty twelve, and then my dad passed away 124 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 4: sadly in twenty seventeen. So I was very like fiercely independent. 125 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 4: Like in my early twenties, I was living abroad and 126 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 4: things like that. I had such negative habits like with money, 127 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 4: with lifestyle, with food, with alcohol, and a few years 128 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 4: ago when I met my beautiful partner, he was like 129 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 4: a really big turning point for me, and we both 130 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 4: were just like life can be so much better than this, 131 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 4: you know what I mean? One hundred percent just exercise, money, food. 132 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 4: It's funny, like twenty twenty, we went so bad the 133 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 4: same time, we started being hyper aware of like how 134 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 4: we spent our money and how our money behaviors impacted 135 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 4: our happiness. 136 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 2: I love that. 137 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 4: It was like this big, just momentous ball that kept 138 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 4: growing and we just started being better across the board, 139 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 4: and I'm like, wow, our life is so much better now. 140 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 2: Obviously you went through a series of traumas for that, 141 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: but often you find that it's one party in a 142 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: relationship who wants to go down that route and the 143 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 2: other's like, oh you doing babe, Like this isn't us. 144 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 2: How were you so on the same page about this. 145 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 4: He's Brazilian, so he's just different to Australian men that 146 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 4: I've been with. But he was just immediately like I 147 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 4: can't wait to be a father. He has these really 148 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 4: traditional Brazilian Catholic values and having that like stability with 149 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 4: something I've never experienced before, and it just maybe want 150 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 4: to be better, Like we used to smoke and drink. 151 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 4: Like when you look at how much money you're spending 152 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 4: on alcohol cigarets, it was like what are we doing? 153 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 4: Like this is crazy? It just made sense. I think 154 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 4: when I first said to him about like the direction 155 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 4: I wanted to go, it was a bit of like, oh, 156 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 4: like a bit uncomfortable. Then it was like, this is 157 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 4: the obvious choice. 158 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 2: I love it so much. All Right, I'm gonna ask 159 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: you some of the stereotypical money diary questions because you 160 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 2: don't get out of those, you just have to do 161 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 2: them publicly. So let's start with grades on money. So 162 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: what grade would you give your money habits if I 163 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 2: asked you to give them a grade from A through 164 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 2: to F. 165 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 4: I knew this question was coming, and it's interesting because, like, 166 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 4: I have consumed so much these other money over the years, 167 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 4: it's like quite surreal, like sitting here but also hearing 168 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 4: those questions. And when I thought about the question, my 169 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 4: initial reaction was a lower grade. Yeah, But then I thought, 170 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 4: what do my habits now actually tell us about my 171 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 4: money habits now? So I think I would give myself 172 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 4: a B minus. 173 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 2: I like that you've really thought about it as well, 174 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: because I think so many times we just have this 175 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 2: underlying assumption of ourselves that we aren't good at money, 176 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 2: and that you know, even though you're practicing being good 177 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: at money, and your budgeting at the moment, it kind 178 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 2: of feels a bit like a cosplay. You're like, oh yeah, 179 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 2: but I'm just practicing that right now. Deep down I'm 180 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 2: not good at it when the reality is like you've 181 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 2: changed your reality. So I love the b minus. I 182 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 2: think that is fantastic. Tell me a little bit more 183 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 2: about I guess your money story as well. So you've 184 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 2: explained that your parents split in grade twelve, which would 185 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: have been not only traumatic because any parent splitting sucks, 186 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 2: but like year twelve is such a pivotal period of 187 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 2: time as well to go through. So just upheaving, tell 188 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 2: us a little bit more about I guess how you 189 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 2: learned about money growing up and then what you're trying 190 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: to teach your son about money. 191 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 4: Okay, So being a parent now, it's really shone a 192 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 4: light on like just how different parenting was for our 193 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 4: parents generation. Like everyone has different information accessible to them, 194 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 4: but it was a different world in the parenting game. 195 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 4: And I feel like my parents had a lot of 196 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 4: conversations around us as kids that I probably wouldn't have 197 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 4: around my children, and especially with money, like it was 198 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 4: just always a point of arguing or it was like 199 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 4: kind of used as you know, a tool, like oh, 200 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 4: can I have this thing as a kid, And it's 201 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 4: like no, because we've spent the money on X. You know, 202 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 4: it's just like not information that you need as a child. 203 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 2: No, And it feels overwhelming, like you just go, oh sorry, dad, Like, 204 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 2: oh now I feel like a burden and a child 205 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: should never feel like a burden. 206 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 4: Oh one hundred percent, you feel guilty. Let's be real. 207 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 4: It was really messy and my dad was a a contractor, 208 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 4: I guess, like a consultant, so there would be like 209 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 4: big influxes of money and then big spendings of money, 210 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 4: so they'd be like one like really lavish Christmas and 211 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 4: like lots of presents, and then they would be like 212 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 4: really tight. They'd be like no money. So it was 213 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 4: just really unstable. So I think I had this association 214 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 4: with money that it was not stable, not safe, can't 215 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 4: be talked about healthily and just yuck. 216 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: Yeah fair, and like that's kind of what you were 217 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 2: shown as well. And I think it's so challenging for 218 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 2: kids because like you don't conceptualize you know, erratic income, 219 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: like you can't understand oh well dad just got this 220 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 2: really big contract and that makes sense. You just go, 221 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 2: why did we have that? Now we don't have that, 222 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 2: Like you feel like you've lost something. And I think 223 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 2: that that carries through to adulthood and the way that 224 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 2: we spend, and often if we've been through traumatic periods 225 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 2: like that, we start spending without a lot of regard 226 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 2: because you just go, oh, well, money comes and goes, 227 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 2: like we'll probably come into a big bulk amount of 228 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: it at some point and we'll be fine and I'll 229 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 2: pay off that debt. But it's not necessarily true. 230 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 4: I worked since I was like fourteen, and then when 231 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 4: I turned eighteen, went stra right to the bank, got 232 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 4: a credit card, and went to Europe. 233 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 2: Yep, slay like it's not even a bad thing to 234 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,599 Speaker 2: talk about. I think it's just I didn't have the 235 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 2: level of financial literacy that I want to afford everybody 236 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 2: and else. She's on the money community, right, Like I 237 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 2: grew up with a dad who was fantastic at money, 238 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 2: like he's an accountant, Like he's brilliant at it. I 239 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 2: just look at it and go I wasn't ready to 240 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 2: hear what he wanted to share with me, though, And 241 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 2: I find that's so interesting because so many times people 242 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 2: will say like, oh, yeah, well your dad was an 243 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 2: account it makes sense that your financial advice, right, Arahan, 244 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 2: I'm like no, Like I think I automatically just bucked 245 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 2: at you know, this idea that my parents knew what 246 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 2: they were talking about. Like, you know, I remember crying 247 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 2: at the dining table because my dad would be like, 248 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: you have to do your maths homework or you have 249 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 2: to learn your times tables or whatever, and I'd literally 250 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 2: be like crying because I didn't want to do it. 251 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 4: A big you don't know how hard it is. 252 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 2: And then I became this adult who needed to get 253 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 2: into debt so that I learnt how painful that was 254 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 2: so I could get out of debt and now teach 255 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 2: others how to stay out of it. And a lot 256 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 2: of people go, don't you regret that? And I go, well, 257 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 2: not really, like it's part of my journey and sorry, Dad, 258 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 2: still love you, Please don't hate me for this. 259 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 4: I love that. 260 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 2: Sorry I didn't listen. 261 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 4: And that's such a beautiful like time because when I 262 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 4: did go to Europe, like, yeah, I had some big 263 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 4: years and I had to learn that lesson too. But 264 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 4: when I was learning that lesson was right when she's 265 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 4: on the money started. Oh, welcome, welcome, And I remember 266 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 4: someone at my work just being like, have you listened 267 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 4: to that? I started listening and that was like the 268 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 4: start of me getting out of debt. And that was 269 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 4: the start of everything, like this whole journey, which is like, 270 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 4: when did she'sa on the Money start? What year? 271 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 2: Oh, like twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen depends on whether you 272 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 2: were introduced to the podcast or the Facebook group podcast. 273 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so twenty nineteen. Wow, Yeah, that was the 274 00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 4: beginning of it all. So I was like, yeah, about 275 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 4: twenty five that was when I started getting out of debt. 276 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 4: And that was like just listening to you, having you 277 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 4: in my ears and having the community members and you. 278 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 4: I think that was the start of such an incredible 279 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 4: revolution for millennial Australian women to hear that other people 280 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 4: were going through money shit and they're not just like 281 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 4: the only one, you know, And that's what it was 282 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 4: for me.

If we said a percentage breakdown, 298 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: would you say that, like, content strategy is number one, 299 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 2: then your content creator is number two, and music is three. 300 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 4: Yes, that's very accurate at the moment, I would say. 301 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 4: So my business is Socially Sands. That's my content strategy business. 302 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 4: And it's in its first year officially started in July 303 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 4: after I came off maternity leave with my son. It's 304 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 4: always changing, but I've estimated this year gross I'll earn 305 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 4: about one sixty. 306 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 2: How good is that?

I'll start 310 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 2: my own business. And it's not just going to be 311 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 2: like a small business where I have to sacrifice a lot. 312 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 2: How have you gone from being, you know, literally on 313 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 2: matt leave to earning approximately one sixty Well. 314 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 4: One of my favorite things to talk about and the 315 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 4: way that we connected is TikTok. And I was like 316 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 4: so many other millennial women who was just like, I 317 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 4: don't get TikTok. It's just people dancing. I don't understand it, 318 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 4: Like I'll i'll ever be on there. And when my 319 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 4: son was six months old and I was me and 320 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 4: I was giving myself the ick, like as an artist, 321 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 4: you hear about how transformational TikTok can be for people, 322 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 4: and I was like, why am I like this? Like 323 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 4: why do I have this limiting belief that I can't 324 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 4: do it? It's because I wasn't really giving it my all. 325 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 4: And I've always been working. I was in postpartum on 326 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 4: attorney leave, but I have time, yeah, And I decided 327 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 4: to go all in on content creation. And I spent 328 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 4: like a good few months just figuring out the ins 329 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 4: and outs of TikTok and really forming a strategy. Well, 330 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 4: last year alone, I've grown to almost fifty thousand followers 331 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 4: on TikTok and that's hard to do now, I mean 332 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 4: it is, but there's definitely formulas. And that's why I 333 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 4: started my business socially stands because I had so many 334 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 4: people coming to me being like, how do you do it? 335 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 4: How do you do it? And I was like, I 336 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 4: wonder if I can apply this to everyone else, And 337 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 4: surely enough I can. And I have worked with so 338 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 4: many incredible content creators, moms, business owners, like brand owners, 339 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 4: and I'm like, Okay, there's a real thing here of 340 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 4: helping people. So yeah, yeah, I've started working with so 341 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 4: many beautiful creators and the demand just grew and grew. 342 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 4: Obviously because there's that demand, I guess for people who 343 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 4: want to step into that want to grow the audiences, 344 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 4: they can't figure it out. I started, and I really 345 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 4: like leant in and it just has been kind of insane, 346 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 4: Like I feel like even one sixty is like conservative 347 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 4: for this year, Like it's a big time. 348 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 2: I love it and I love the growth. Tell us 349 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 2: a little bit about what does your husband do and 350 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 2: how much on average is he earning to bring to 351 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 2: the table for this, like whole budgeting content that you 352 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: put out. 353 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 4: So my partner is a casual barber. He works four 354 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 4: days a week, so he's home with us three days 355 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 4: a week and he earns roughly fifty k I. 356 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 2: Just love watching your content. I obviously am about to 357 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 2: have my own baby, which is really really fun, and 358 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 2: watching your husband be a dad, I'm like, I hope 359 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 2: this is what it's like, Gwen Steve becomes a dad, 360 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 2: because you can just see how engaged he is in 361 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 2: the process and how much love there is in your family. 362 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 2: Like it's one of the things that I just really 363 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 2: love following you for because I just go, it's not 364 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 2: just budgeting, it's not just this, like your lifestyle is 365 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 2: something to be envied. I'm just like, they're always so happy. 366 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 2: Like the other day you posted this video of you 367 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 2: guys just dancing in the kitchen, and I was like, 368 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 2: that's what I want. 369 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 4: I love that. I mean, look, it's definitely not always happy. 370 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 4: The relationship after baby is a big shift, and it's 371 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 4: a beautiful shift and it's an evolution, but it's definitely 372 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 4: not thousand rainbows and smiles all the time. We also 373 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 4: don't have a heap of support. Polo's family is obviously 374 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 4: in Brazil, and I just don't have much family around, 375 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 4: so it's been a real initiation and step up in 376 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 4: our relationship. But I do always try to keep it 377 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 4: real with my community as well, because sometimes I'm just 378 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 4: like wow, like the mum rage early on, I was like, wow, 379 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 4: I've never been so angry. It's okay now, and I 380 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 4: don't want to freak you out, but like. 381 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 2: No, I can see it coming for me. I can 382 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 2: just see it manifesting. 383 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, the rage was realized, Like okay, And you 384 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 4: know that has well connected me with my community because 385 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 4: a lot of mums are just like, we don't want 386 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 4: to see just esthetic, gorgeous people online all the time, 387 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 4: like it's not realistic. Like we want to hear how 388 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 4: creators feel after you've had a blout with your partner. 389 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 4: How do you feel? What are you working through? What 390 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 4: are the steps we're taking? You know, Like it's a 391 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 4: whole beautiful mess. And although sometimes we are gorgeously happy 392 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 4: and I feel like we are building out a life 393 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 4: that we really value and really desire, sometimes it's difficult 394 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 4: as well and messy and ugly. 395 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 2: I love the transparency. I think it's really really important. 396 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 2: Tell me a bit more about money, though. I want 397 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 2: to know what are your big money goals this year? 398 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 2: What are you currently working towards. 399 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,719 Speaker 4: So this is a tricky question for me because I'm like, 400 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 4: I want to set these big goals, and I have 401 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 4: goals that I'm working towards, but I think they're not 402 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 4: like tangible things necessarily. I think one of my big 403 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 4: goals is we want to have another baby. 404 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 2: Yes, more babies, more off I know. 405 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 4: Look, my partner's Brazilian. Big families are really common in Brazil, 406 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,479 Speaker 4: and we want a big family. But if I'm going 407 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 4: to be in this serious role as my own business owner, 408 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 4: I need to have shit sorted up because I need 409 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 4: to be able to put myself on attorney leave. I 410 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 4: need to know what that looks like. This is just 411 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 4: all new for us, you know. So I think a 412 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 4: money goal this year is to have like that plan 413 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 4: kind of clear of if we're blessed to get pregnant again, 414 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 4: how that looks and what that looks like, and how 415 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 4: I can go on mattornity leave. And then I think 416 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 4: the big thing there is that my partner wouldn't actually 417 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 4: return to work. 418 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that that's really beautiful, but it's 419 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 2: a compromise that you need to make in order to 420 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 2: have the life you want. Right, Like, we're in the 421 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 2: middle of working out what this looks like for us, 422 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 2: and baby's not here yet, but we'll be very very soon, 423 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 2: and my husband's taking the first six months off. And 424 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 2: it's strange watching people's responses to that as well, because 425 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: you know, you're the bread winner in you family at 426 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 2: the moment, and I am as well. And you know, 427 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 2: my husband loves his job, like as I'm sure yours does. 428 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 2: But you just go, well, what compromise do we need 429 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 2: to make to make this work to give our babies 430 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 2: the life that we think they deserve. Like I don't 431 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 2: want to have them in daycare full time. And I'm 432 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 2: not saying that's even a bad thing. I just don't 433 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 2: want that. Like I might turn around and go actually 434 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 2: change my mind. We're on a daycare wait list anyway, 435 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 2: because I'm like, well, what if I after six months my 436 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 2: husband doesn't like staying home, Like, I don't want him 437 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 2: to feel forced into, you know, a lifestyle that he, 438 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 2: you know, isn't in love with. So I think there's 439 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 2: so many moving parts of it, but even just us, 440 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 2: like we have been planning this baby since like twenty twenty, 441 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,239 Speaker 2: and like then we decided, okay, we'll get engaged, then 442 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 2: we'll get married, and then once we get married, we'll 443 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 2: try and then you know, we obviously had a number 444 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 2: of complications along the way and so it didn't work 445 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 2: out the way we thought. But we've been budgeting since 446 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 2: then to go all right, well Victorian needs to take 447 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 2: time off. That means how are we covering all of 448 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 2: our expenses? How are we you know, going to deal 449 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 2: with this? How am I going to keep my business 450 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 2: up and running during a period of time where I 451 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 2: have to step out? I'm the face of the business. 452 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 2: How does that work? It is a lot to take. 453 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 4: On, It is and I think I want to say, like, 454 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 4: how just cool that is to have that conversation with 455 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 4: you and be here and be like, you know, just 456 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 4: to hear you say you know, you're the red winner 457 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 4: of your family and soul. Am I Like, what an 458 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 4: incredible time and how incredible just to be sitting here 459 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 4: and having that conversation as well, because this isn't something 460 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 4: I imagine for myself, you know, it's all happening. But 461 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 4: I think you're right, Like, there's not that many people 462 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 4: having conversations like that, and it is interesting, even with 463 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 4: sharing my money so transparently, people have like predetermined ideas 464 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 4: about me in my life. It's like, you know, people 465 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,719 Speaker 4: will be like, wow, how rich are you and like 466 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 4: it's interesting. But I think even a few people I 467 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 4: have said, are now the entire world that like, you know, 468 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 4: oh yeah my goals like retire my husband. I mean, 469 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 4: like it's not like that, but it's just like, I 470 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 4: think our life looks so much fuller with me being 471 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 4: able to work with like a flexible schedule and him 472 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 4: being able to stay home with our babies. And he 473 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 4: loves the idea. Like I'm not speaking for him, but 474 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 4: it's a really powerful conversation and a really incredible evolution 475 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 4: of our family and of your family, and it's just 476 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 4: like it's so exciting. I'm just so here for it. 477 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 2: I am also so here for it. I think I 478 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 2: just assumed everybody would be so much more like yeah, 479 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 2: that just makes sense. But a lot of people like, wait, 480 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 2: what's your husband going to do at home? Like what's 481 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 2: he going to do? I'm like, why an't we asking 482 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 2: this if women like you guys are here saying, oh, 483 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 2: are you sure your husband will like that? I'm like, 484 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 2: just like your husband, My husband, I think wanted babies 485 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 2: the day that we met, Like he would have had 486 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 2: babies like way way, way, way, way ago. I have 487 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 2: been the problem, Like I am the issue. I'm the 488 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 2: one that's like, look, I actually do really want to 489 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 2: get married first. I would really like to buy our 490 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 2: first property first. And like every time, he'd just roll 491 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 2: his eyes and be like, fine, let's do this and 492 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 2: then can I have the baby? Like does that make sense? 493 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 2: And I think so many times people look it and go, 494 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 2: what's your husband going to do? And I'm like, my 495 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 2: husband is so capable and so kind. The only thing 496 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to be able to do, guys, 497 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 2: is breastfeed. And that's fine.

Hannah, 515 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 2: I want to know when it comes to investments, are 516 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 2: you investing If so in what if not? Do you 517 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 2: have a plan? 518 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 4: Oh? 519 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 2: Triggered, No, not meant to be triggering. 520 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 4: I think it's just this journey where I'm like constantly 521 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 4: wanting to be better, and I'm like, that is definitely 522 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 4: something that I do. I mean, she's on the money, 523 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 4: literally taught me about investing. I'd never heard about investing before, 524 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 4: and then just going down this like massive run of 525 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 4: all the things I think investing in properties is definitely 526 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 4: something that feels aligned for us. We own our home 527 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 4: that we're in now, and I think that's what happened 528 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 4: when we were kind of going down the road of 529 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 4: becoming more financially literate, deciding whether to invest in some investments, 530 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 4: and then we got pregnant and decided to try to 531 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 4: get into the property market, and that's what we did. 532 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 4: But definitely goals is to be investing in the near future. 533 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 2: I adore it, and I think we need to break 534 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 2: down this idea that you have to already be investing 535 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 2: to be good, Like you have the financial literacy to 536 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 2: know what you need and how that works and where 537 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 2: you're going. And that's what I want to afford people 538 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 2: with not necessarily go all right, well where's your share portfolio, 539 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 2: Chop chop, let's get on it. It's more you know 540 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 2: when that can fit into your lifestyle. You know when 541 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 2: that's gonna work. Because, as it turns out, Hannah, money's 542 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 2: not unlimited, Like you can't just do everything all at once, 543 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 2: and when you're creating this journey, it's kind of like 544 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 2: there are key milestones along the way and we can't 545 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,959 Speaker 2: hit them all at one time. Like that's unreasonable and 546 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 2: really really unrealistic. 547 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 4: So true. 548 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 2: So tell me about debt. So have you been in debt? 549 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 2: You mentioned it before. Are you in debt currently?

I'm currently in four hundred and fifty thousand dollars 552 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 4: of debt with this beautiful home. I've gotten out of 553 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 4: personal debt, which is just so wild because there was 554 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 4: definitely a time literally for you years ago, where I 555 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 4: just could never imagine getting out when you're so under it. 556 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 4: You know, you have twenty thousand dollars and you're like, yeah, 557 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 4: two hundred dollars, Like yeah, it's chipping away, but then 558 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 4: it does compound and you're like, oh my god, I'm 559 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 4: actually going to get out of this, and then like 560 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 4: closing the account. I mean, it feels like an afterthought now, 561 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,959 Speaker 4: but it was a huge part of my twenties, and 562 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 4: that's as well with my content, Like I hope that 563 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 4: people who are listening and are on that journey because 564 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 4: I just so see you and I so resonate with 565 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 4: that feeling of just being like this is me, Like 566 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 4: this is just me forever now, you know. Yeah, being 567 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 4: out of that feels really good. 568 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 2: I adore that so much. What do you think your 569 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 2: best money habits are. I feel like you've got a 570 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 2: few nowadays, and I think you should share. 571 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 4: Best money habits now would be since starting this budgeting series, 572 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 4: it's like the Chicken and the Egg right, Like the 573 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 4: content actually came first. I was like, I want to 574 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 4: do this, like content, what does that actually look like? 575 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 4: And I realized I had to go through my expenses 576 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 4: and track my expenses. So it's like that has been 577 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 4: kind of revolutionary for our family, like actually looking where 578 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 4: our money goes. There's a piece of content that went 579 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 4: like semi viral in the first week when I was 580 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 4: beginning to track our expenses and I realized we were 581 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 4: spending seventy dollars a week on eggs. 582 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 2: We eating all these eggs or were throwing them at 583 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 2: our arch nemesis, Like how many eggs is that? 584 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 4: Literally, I don't even want to talk about it. Look 585 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 4: as I share my content our values, like we really 586 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 4: like organic and local food, so we get our food 587 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 4: from the local farmer's market. It's organic, it comes with 588 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 4: the price increase. That's just the way it is. We 589 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 4: don't really like to eat meat and any animal prodiduce 590 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 4: from the supermarket, so it comes with the price increase, 591 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 4: and where Fin'm with that, we're adapting our lifestyle to 592 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 4: suit that because it's a value of our So eggs 593 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 4: ain't cheap, baby, they're like twelve dollars a corton. 594 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, But what are you doing with all 595 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,959 Speaker 2: these eggs? Genuinely, I need to know, like are we 596 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 2: just eating eggs every day for breakfast? Like you didn't 597 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 2: address the fact that I asked you if we're throwing 598 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 2: them at our arch nemesis? Like what are we doing 599 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 2: with so many eggs? Like take us through the egg 600 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 2: consumption in a week? 601 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 4: No arch Nemesis, eggs have been thrown. We do eat 602 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 4: a lot of eggs. We have like three eggs each 603 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 4: for breakfast. My son has two eggs for breakfast. My 604 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 4: son's one and he's Brazilian. Heats a lot. 605 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, you know that's. 606 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 4: Eight eggs in the morning. Darn't in one day. 607 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 2: I can't deal with that. That's so many eggs. 608 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 4: My partner bakes, so like you know, he'll bake, He'll 609 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 4: cook like a key shore of for Tata that's got 610 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 4: a lot of eggs. And then he'll make like a 611 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 4: custard that's got ten egg eggs in it. 612 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, so you're just eating really well and 613 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 2: I'm actually quite envious of it. But I have in 614 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 2: my head, like my sister and I talk about this 615 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 2: all the time, and this is really rogue and totally 616 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 2: not meant to go on the show. But like in 617 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 2: my head, I have an egg rule, like I can 618 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 2: only consume three eggs a day. So like if I 619 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 2: had like two eggs for breakfast on toast, like I 620 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 2: have one egg to spend later on a snack. If 621 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 2: you said to me, oh, you had scrambled eggs, well sorry, 622 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,719 Speaker 2: I know there's probably three eggs in that can't consume 623 00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 2: eggs for the rest of the day. I don't know 624 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 2: where this rule comes from. It can't even be that healthy, 625 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 2: because eggs are great for you. But in my head, 626 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 2: three eggs, we're done. Like it's just an egg rule. 627 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 2: And my sister brought it up. 628 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 4: There's a cap three and you're out. 629 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, like three and done. And my sister 630 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 2: ages ago brought it up, and I was like, why 631 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 2: we like this, Where did this come from? What is 632 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 2: this about? Why have we got an egg rule. Maybe 633 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 2: it's because they're so expensive. We do not share that rule, 634 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 2: We absolutely don't. So what other good money habits do 635 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 2: you have now that you didn't have previously? 636 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 4: Circling back like to the tracking expenses, that's just a 637 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 4: massive one. It's time consuming, like going back, I mean 638 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 4: this and like subtle plug but like I've switched to 639 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 4: upbank and like being able to see the breakdown has 640 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 4: been so helpful because before I was literally going manually 641 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 4: every single week, but we got rid of so many subscriptions, 642 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 4: We got rid of so many spendings that just weren't 643 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 4: serving us. I think this is a good habit that 644 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 4: I can touch on, which is just like before when 645 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,239 Speaker 4: I started, there was so much miscellaneous spending, like of 646 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 4: stuff that I just couldn't even tell you why we 647 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 4: were spending on those. So I think that's a really 648 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 4: good money habit. Yeah, I think that's pretty much my 649 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 4: good money habits at the moment. 650 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 2: I love it all right, Surely there are some left over, 651 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 2: little naughty money habits. What do you think are your 652 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 2: worst money habits at this point in time? Is it eggs? 653 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 4: It's not eggs. I'm going to classify that as a 654 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 4: good money habit because my gut lady loves me for it. 655 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 4: I am gonna say, I think that the way that 656 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 4: we grow up around money is so deeply rooted in us, 657 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 4: and I still have to kind of catch myself with 658 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,959 Speaker 4: spending large amounts. I think it's a fine line of like, 659 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 4: I've never earned this much money in my life, so 660 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 4: it's a fine line between when I'm going to spend 661 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 4: something and I'm stopping myself. Is that because I'm scared 662 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 4: that it's a bad money habit because I'm like unconsciously 663 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 4: spending thinking it's going to come back to me or 664 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 4: can I afford this thing? I don't have that self 665 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 4: trust yet. I'm trying to figure that out. So it's 666 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 4: like that in itself is a bad money habit. 667 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, are you budgeting for like discretionary things or like 668 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 2: fun money or things to spend on yourself. I feel 669 00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 2: like as women, especially as we step into this you know, 670 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 2: different era of being a parent and a wife, we 671 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 2: kind of step back and go, oh, there's not much 672 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 2: room for me. Like you'll happily spend it on your 673 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 2: husband or you're a child, but you'll never spend it 674 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 2: on yourself. Like, is that something you're allocating or trying 675 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 2: to find a little bit more wiggle room for, or 676 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 2: is this something that you're like, no, V, I haven't 677 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 2: really thought about it. This is probably the problem. 678 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 4: Okay. So I love that you touched on this because 679 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 4: I don't know what it is about my husband.

And I remember saying 695 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 4: to my friend who managed the barber shop, like, what's 696 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 4: that guy's deal? 697 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: You know? 698 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 4: She was like, no, now he has a girlfriend.

And then years later covid 707 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 4: Era and he popped up on my Tinder. 708 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 2: Oh hello, obviously that girlfriend thinks not a. 709 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 4: Thing literally, and I was like, okay, you're single, fabulous 710 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 4: messaged his colleagues at the barber shop, being like hook 711 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 4: it up.

I think 716 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 4: he thought I was joking, so he never did anything 717 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 4: about it. 718 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,959 Speaker 2: Why are they so silly?

Yeah, okay, 726 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 4: and he just wasn't picking. 727 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 2: Up what I was putting down. He would have been like, 728 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 2: that is so strange. Why did she say that?

And yeah, 757 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 4: but I think that I'm okay with spending on myself 758 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 4: and actually with my budgeting series. Something I haven't really 759 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 4: shared is that that doesn't include money that I put 760 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 4: aside for my business expenses.

Unfortunately 788 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 2: we are running to the end of this episode, but 789 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 2: I want to know at the very start you said, look, 790 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,439 Speaker 2: I'm a B minus and I feel like you put 791 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,879 Speaker 2: a lot of time and energy and effort into coming 792 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 2: up with that B minus. But what would it take 793 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 2: to get you from that B minus to you saying V, 794 00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 2: I think I'm an A plus. 795 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 4: It's a sticky thing, right, It shouldn't be with like 796 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 4: the more money that we're bringing in has anything to 797 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 4: do with our money habit or our grade that we 798 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 4: give ourselves. But for where I'm at with my business, 799 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 4: I've invested a lot into my business and I've got 800 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 4: some really big goals, and I think the next step 801 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 4: for me to get to that A plus is show 802 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 4: that I can uphold my good money habits with more money, 803 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 4: So like, yeah, welcoming in the bigger money months and 804 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 4: then actually sticking to my guns and doing what I 805 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,479 Speaker 4: know to be the good decisions I feel with my money. 806 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 4: And I think a big thing I want to touch 807 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 4: on was a big money goal as well for me 808 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 4: is to be neutral, like neutrality with money, because that's 809 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,800 Speaker 4: something I've never been. It's always been like ups and downs, 810 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,760 Speaker 4: like super just energetically as well, just like oh my god, money, 811 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 4: Oh my god, money. You know. I just want to 812 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 4: be like, yeah, of course, money, money, whatever, you know. 813 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 2: I love that I feel like neutrality is something that 814 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 2: we don't talk about very often, but we should talk 815 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 2: about more. Maybe I'm going to steal that and make 816 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 2: a whole episode out of it and call it. 817 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 4: I love it. 818 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,280 Speaker 2: I'll credit you, don't worry. I'll be like neutrality inspired 819 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 2: by Anna San's. But I think that that's a topic 820 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 2: that we don't talk about enough because money is so 821 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 2: inherently emotional, and it's so tied to our self worth, 822 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 2: and it's so tied to how we think and feel 823 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 2: about how our life is going, when in reality, like 824 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 2: people aren't defined by money, So why do we do this? 825 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 5: No? 826 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 4: I totally agree, and I think a plus for me 827 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 4: would be like and I'm getting there.
