It's the book club where you don't 31 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: have to read the book. Like you turn up to 32 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: book club, you get the wine, you get to have 33 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: the cheese. I'll just tell you what happened in the book. 34 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: You get to socialize, and then you go home a 35 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: little bit smarter. 36 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 3: That is the ideal, isn't it. 37 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: That's the type of book club I really want to 38 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: be involved in, because like I always used to want 39 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: to be involved in book club, and then I realized 40 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: you had to read the book by the period of 41 00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: time and that was never going to happen for me. 42 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 3: So basically, you're selling me these books, which is a 43 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 3: hard cell because you know me don't love finance. I'm kidding. 44 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 3: I love it using the money. 45 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: You like learning about it. I feel yeah, because like 46 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: once you get it, you're like, oh my god, I 47 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: love this, and then I'm like I'm telling you you 48 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: love this for a really long time, but it just 49 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: takes a little bit. 50 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 3: It's true, a bit, it's true. So are there different 51 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 3: categories of books that we're speaking about today? 52 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: These are very eclectic. None of these are sponsored posts. 53 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: Most of the people are either dead or they're overseas 54 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: so I've never met them. They're just genuinely my number ones. Also, 55 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: there's a book, it's the number one, that I'm going 56 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: to recommend again and again and again. It comes up 57 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: every time you ask me about books. I have already 58 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: done a book club on it. So I'm going to 59 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: gloss over it, but I'm actually going to talk about 60 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: it again because if we're talking about five books that 61 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: could change your life, like it has to be in 62 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: there absolutely.

No, it's too early for 65 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: a wine. It's Wednesday. 66 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 3: I've got a lightly sparkling spring water to hydrate my senses, 67 00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 3: thank you, will Worth. 68 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's nice.

Klassen, and it was written George in 74 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: nineteen twenty six, a. 75 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,119 Speaker 3: Long time ago, at least one hundred years. 76 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: The driest finance book you will read ever. Nobody actually 77 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: wants to pick this up. And even if you google it, 78 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: you're like, they didn't even try to try and convince 79 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: me with the cover. It looks bland. It looks like, 80 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: you know, when you had to read Animal Farm. 81 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 3: By George loved Animal Fair but the cover. 82 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: Nothing to write home about, wasn't it? 83 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: You googling, I'm googling, I'm live googling. Okay, I see 84 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 3: what they've done there. There's a lion walking up. Some 85 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 3: looks like a. 86 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: Ramp, a fancy version. Mine's just yellow and red. And 87 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: it's very boring. But it is the book that everybody 88 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: comes back to because it is the first ever finance 89 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: book from my own the Starning Plolice correction if I'm wrong, 90 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: but do it in my DM so it's not so public, 91 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: but it is the first book on money. Mindset is 92 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: the first book that really compares and contrasts rich mindset 93 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: and you know, daily grind mindset. It is all about 94 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: putting you in the best possible position by teaching you 95 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: the value of compound interest. And from my perspective, this 96 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: book is powerful because it's the first one that does that. 97 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: And it goes back to like Babylonian times, where it's like, okay, cool, Like, 98 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: let's go back to Babylonian times and actually talk about 99 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: what it means to invest. And they're not talking about 100 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: investing in shares. They're actually talking about investing in themselves 101 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: and putting some money away for rainy days. And you know, 102 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: if you're going to buy a diamond, George, would you 103 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: get advice from a bricklayer to do that or would 104 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: you go to somebody who specializes in gems. It's really 105 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: about mindset and getting the right advice. 106 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 3: All right, But I'm loving your passion. But I am 107 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 3: so passionate. 108 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: I've read this book so many times and it's so 109 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: dry and it doesn't get easier, but it's just good. Okay, 110 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: so I'll read it for you. 111 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, perfect, let's liken sit down. Though in three sentences, 112 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 3: this book tells us what. 113 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: It tells us so much more, like I need more 114 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: than three sentences, but first thing that you might learn 115 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: from this book is that it wants you to say 116 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: at least ten percent of everything that you earn, and 117 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: it doesn't want you to confuse your necessary expenses with 118 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: your desires. 119 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 3: Does that sound familiar, Yes, it died. 120 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: The second sentence I would use is it tells you 121 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: to work hard to improve your skills to ensure a 122 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: future income, because wealth is a result of reliable income 123 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: stream production. 124 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 3: Interesting. 125 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: And then the third lesson I would say here is 126 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: that you cannot arrive at the fullest measure of success 127 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: unless you crush the spirit of procrastination within you. I 128 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: love that I have not achieved that I have a 129 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: lot of im and not do that. You need to 130 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: crush the spirit of procrastination. V See it's written in 131 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: that tone of voice as well. So it's just like 132 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: the highest thing. You know how Sometimes you read a 133 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: book and you'll be like, I need to read that 134 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: sentence again. Yeah, that's this book. 135 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 3: One of those. All right, it sounds like a pillar. 136 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 3: But give us the seven simple rules of money. I 137 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 3: remember we spoke about this yea now Faturday Drinks episode, 138 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 3: let's go over them again. 139 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: Yes we have. So there's seven simple rules. So Number one, 140 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: Georgia is start thy purse to fattening. Sure, so start 141 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: saving money. Fat wallo, we love it. Fat waller equals 142 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: good according to this book. Number two is control thy expenses, 143 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: so don't spend more than you need to. Number three 144 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: is make thy gold multiply and invest wisely. Number four 145 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: is guard thy treasures from loss, so avoid investments that 146 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: sound too good to be true. I feel like this 147 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: is all so important, and I say it's such a 148 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: pivotal finance book because even though it was written in 149 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: nineteen twenty six, it's just all valid today. Like how 150 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: many times have you seen people get swept up with 151 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: multi level marketing? 152 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, because this sounds. 153 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: So great, I'm gonna get so rich. Oh my god, 154 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to be side hustling. No, you're not, sit down, sir. 155 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: So Number five is make thy dwelling a profitable investment 156 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: and own your own home. So they're maybe not Yeah 157 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: that's nineteen twenty six. Like guys do here that we're 158 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: spending all our money on ABC now, Like okay, move on, 159 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: But also you could like rent out your house on AIRBNBA, 160 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,239 Speaker 1: so maybe like we can switch that one out. Number 161 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: six ensure future income, so protect yourself with life insurance. 162 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: So obviously in nineteen twenty six they weren't talking about 163 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: life insurance in the same way we are, but obviously 164 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: very important. And then number seven is improve thy ability 165 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: to earn, So strive to become wiser and more knowledgeable, 166 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: and that will thus increase your income. Kind of cool, right, 167 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: incredibly Uh good tips. 168 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 3: I think that's a contribution from me. They've stood the 169 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: test of time. 170 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: And that's why I always go back to it when 171 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: people are like, I really want to learn about money, 172 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I know this is such a blend recommendation, 173 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: and that's why I've spoken about it so much on 174 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: the podcast. So hopefully you can learn some things and 175 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: maybe like follow along in the book, maybe have a 176 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: listen to it in the car, like an audiobook might 177 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: be easier. I can't imagine how dry that audiobook would be. 178 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 3: They need a fun present. 179 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to get it. I'm going to do an 180 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: audiobook on No, I would not. It was too hard 181 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: to record my own. 182 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 3: Okay. Now, so we love like the longevity of his 183 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 3: tips here vibe, but why is this book so groundbreaking? 184 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: Because he was mad Dog, So George Georgie Boy mad Dog. 185 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: So he was an American. He's an American author that 186 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: was born in eighteen seventy four. And this is obviously 187 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: his best known book because it's the only one that 188 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: we are putting on this list. He actually had two companies, 189 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: of which were called the Classton Map Company, which was 190 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: the first to publish a road atlas in the US 191 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: and in Canada. And then this book, The Richest Man 192 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: in Babylon, actually came from him writing a series of 193 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: informational pamphlets about being thrifty and how to achieve financial success, 194 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: and then it became a book. Kind of cool, Ah, 195 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: there you go. So how the podcast became a book? 196 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 1: When She's on the money? 197 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 3: It all ties to kill. 198 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: Me classen, I love it. But he started writing pamphlets 199 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: in nineteen twenty six and then used parables that were 200 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: set in ancient Babylon to kind of teach people. And 201 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: then this all rolled into The Richest Man in Babylon, 202 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 1: which is called The Richest Man in Babylon The Success 203 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: Secrets of the Ancients. And then he's the guy who 204 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: has been credited to coining the phrase pay yourself first. Ah, 205 00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: kind of cool. 206 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 3: Wow, there you go. Yeah, a good recap of the 207 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 3: richest man in Babylon. Yeah, shall we move on to 208 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 3: a Rich Dad, Poor Dad? 209 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 2: Oh? 210 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: I just out of all right, Well that is number 211 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: two for any of those who wanted any. 212 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 3: Type of weight. 213 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: But yes, we're going to talk about Rich Dad, Poor 214 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. And that was written in nineteen 215 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: ninety seven. You're alive, then, won't you. Yeah, you're only small. 216 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: I was three, I was six. Okay, we could have 217 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 3: been such good little friends. Yeah, we would have been 218 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 3: little angels. 219 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: We wouldn't have shut down. I was like that older 220 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: annoying cousin. I okay, yeah that was me. 221 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 3: And so it goes on. This book has been. 222 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: Very popular in our community. It is a book that 223 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: so many people recommend. We've had a few threads in 224 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: our Facebook group historically where people have been like, recommend 225 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: your favorite finance books, and this one often comes up 226 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: as number one for very good reason. 227 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 3: Tell me in three sentences why. 228 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: I feel like this three sentences? What you're really attached to, 229 00:09:59,000 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: isn't it? 230 00:09:59,360 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 3: Yeah? 231 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: So, Rich Dad, Poor Dad is about Robert Kiyosaki and 232 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: his two dads. So his actual real father. He's what 233 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: he calls in the book poor Dad, and the father 234 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: of his best friend who is known as rich Dad. 235 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: And the entire book is about the ways both of 236 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: these men have shaped his mindset around money and investing 237 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: and life and how they approach different circumstances. And it 238 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: really compares and contrasts like rich spending versus poor spending. 239 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: So you've probably seen me talk historically about you know, 240 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: obviously we go back to George's book and call it 241 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: pay yourself first, but paying yourself first and investing and 242 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: saving before spending the leftover, whereas poor spending is really 243 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: about spending and then saving and investing what's left over. 244 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: So it's about kind of flipping those mentalities and what 245 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: one works better. And I think that it's obvious we 246 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: all want to create wealth, and we all say pay 247 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: yourself first and invest first, because if you allocate it first, 248 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: it's going to be the priority. And that makes sense, 249 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: and that's what this book is about. So it's really 250 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: about the ways that both of these men interacted. And 251 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: then Robert's kind of like this third party to the 252 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: conversation where he kind of interprets what that means and 253 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: compares the dads against themselves. There's a few things in 254 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: it that I don't love, because I obviously don't love 255 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: comparing and contrasting. And there's obviously a lot of privilege 256 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: that comes from wealth that I don't think gets acknowledged 257 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: in this book. But I do think it is quite 258 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: powerful when it comes to mindset. And you'll probably notice 259 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: that when I talk about money and talk about investing, 260 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: I'm not here going read this investing for beginner's guide. 261 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: We'll get to that, but I'm not telling you to 262 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: read that book because I actually really want to set 263 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: your mindset up properly before we get into investing, because 264 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: what's the point in getting you to invest if you 265 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: don't see the point? And what's the point in getting 266 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: you to invest if you don't have the right framework 267 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: and structure and mindset around it. That second sentence, because 268 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: like this, that was the first one. The second one 269 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: is that you don't need a high income to become rich, 270 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: which is pivotal in the show on the Money community, like, 271 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 1: we're not actually trying to get rich here, We're actually 272 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: trying to create wealth. But to create wealth, we actually 273 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: don't need a high income it's really about what you 274 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: are spending, not about what you are earning. I've said 275 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: this a million times, Like somebody who is earning less 276 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: but investing a fair bit is going to end up 277 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: long term in a better position than someone who has 278 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: a ridiculously high income and he's living their best life 279 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: and blowing it all. Yeah. The third sentence that I 280 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: would say summarizes this book is that rich people make 281 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: their money work for them. And I say this all 282 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: the time. Make your money work as hard as you 283 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: do for it, so it's not just sitting in a 284 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: bank account waiting for you to spend it one day. 285 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: It's out earning something. Every dollar in your account needs 286 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: to have a job. And that is, you know, one 287 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: of the other pivotal things in that book that I 288 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: think is really important, Like where is that dollar going 289 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: to work? George? It might actually be going to work 290 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: in a emergency fund, in which case it's job is 291 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: to sit there and wait for it to be spent 292 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: on a rainy day. But if it's an income generating 293 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: dollar that's coming, what is that going to do? How 294 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: is it going to work for you? And I think 295 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: that those those are my three very loving takeaways sentences 296 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: from that book. 297 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 3: When he talks about rich Dad in She's on the 298 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 3: Money language, would we call that wealthy Dad, because you 299 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 3: know if rich is like, yeah, I think image of 300 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 3: wealth where his wealth is actually actual financial freedom. 301 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: Would you you are? You are on the money, Georgia King, 302 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. But yeah, I do steer away 303 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: from using words like rich because I think rich is 304 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 1: very It's the Chanel bag. Yes, it's the visual markers 305 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: of money that don't necessarily mean you are in a 306 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: better financial position. It's you know, I would like to 307 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: think that influencers. I would love to think that all 308 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: my influencer clients actually wealthy, but like it's kind of 309 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: seeing influences where dere and Prada and all of these 310 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: fancy brands all the time it's rich, it's just stuff, 311 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: like it's not actually putting them in a better position. 312 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: I think underlyingly, everybody needs to be working towards wealth, 313 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: not richness, because it's actually wealth is hidden. It shouldn't 314 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: be private, but it's definitely hidden and you just don't 315 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: see it. Like Georgie, walk down the street and I've 316 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: got no idea what's in your savings account? I've got 317 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: no idea what you're investing in. And that's cool, But 318 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: like you walk down the street of a Chanel bag 319 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: and everyone knows you're carrying ten grand, Like, that's not 320 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: putting you in a better financial position. So I think 321 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: wealth is all about future you, and rich is all 322 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: about today you and their actual needs. And that's not 323 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: nearly as sexy. One hundred percent. The five big ideas 324 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: from Robert Kosaki's book lay the Money. Number one, the 325 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: poor and the middle class work for money. The rich 326 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: have money at work for them. Number two is it's 327 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: not how much money you make that matters, it's how 328 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: much you get to keep. Number three. Rich people acquire assets, 329 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: the poor and middle class acquire liabilities that they think 330 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: are assets. Yeah, it's a bit of a savage point, 331 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: isn't it. Number four Financial aptitude is what you do 332 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: with money once you make it, how you keep people 333 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: from taking it from you, how to keep it longer, 334 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: and how to make money work harder for you. So 335 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: you're kind of getting the vibe of what this book 336 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: is all about with fourth point, which is basically the 337 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: same as the first three, and then number five is 338 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: the single most powerful asset we all have is our minds? 339 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 3: So true? 340 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: Kind of cool. 341 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 3: So this is very much like a mindset book and 342 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 3: understanding how we relate to money. 343 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: Yet you're probably not surprised that the case. 344 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 3: But yes, what are some of the key vibes in 345 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 3: the book that are knocked your socks off? 346 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: My favorite one is so I'm all about like behavioral 347 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: investment and like emotional investment. I talk about this a lot. 348 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: And the first one is that quote people's lives are 349 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: forever controlled by two emotions, fear and greed. The next 350 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: thing that I really liked was quote, so many people say, oh, 351 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm not interested in money, yet they'll work a job 352 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: for eight hours a day. That kicks you in the 353 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: shins a little bit. You're like, yeah, I don't care 354 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: about money. Oh gayb'll blay you're going to earn it. 355 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: Then the next one is an asset puts money in 356 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: your pocket. A liability takes money out of your pocket. 357 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 3: Makes sense. 358 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: And then the last one that I thought was pretty 359 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: powerful is, once you understand the difference between assets and liabilities, 360 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: concentrate your efforts on buying income generating assets. Nice, I wrote, 361 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: sheese on the money, and that's just basically like, here's 362 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: how to do your banking, here's how to set all 363 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: of this up, and like I basically just borrowed all 364 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: of these people's hot tips. 365 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 3: And puts in them and we will get to that feed. 366 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 3: You want to give us an example of an asset 367 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 3: and a liability. 368 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: Yes, Sexy, we spoke about this the other week when 369 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: we were talking about financial reporting and we were talking 370 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: about profit and loss. But essentially, an asset is something 371 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: that's going to do one of two things for you. 372 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: It's either going to be able to be sold for 373 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: money or is going to be able to generate you 374 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: in income. So that could be like an investment property, 375 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: it could be a share, it could be money in 376 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: your bank account, it could be something that's helping you, 377 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: whereas a liability is something that's going to cost you money. 378 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: You could think in earlier we said, you know, poor 379 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: people get confused and think that liabilities are actually assets 380 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: a car loan where they're like, oh, but I get 381 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: the car. Well, it actually decreases in value over time 382 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: and you're not actually getting that much out of your 383 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: actually ending up in a worse off position. And that's 384 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: one of the things that grinds my gears when people 385 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 1: are like yeah, but I like, I'll own the car outright, 386 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, after how much money is poured 387 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: into it? Okay sir. Yeah, it's being confused about wealth 388 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: assets as well, So spending money on things that you 389 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: can't get back. Another thing would be like credit card debt, 390 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: so they'll be like, oh, just paid off later, and 391 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: it's kind of like, no, that's actually a massive liability, 392 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: putting you further behind on the wealth creation journey. So 393 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: a liability is something that puts you in debt or 394 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: keeps you in debt, and asset is something that creates 395 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: income for you. 396 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 3: Perfect cool. Before we move on to our next book, fee, 397 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 3: which I won't spoil, can you tell us a little 398 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 3: bit about mister Robert Kyosaki. 399 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: I can. I feel like his name has gotten a 400 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: pretty bad rap recently because there have been a number 401 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: of like what would you call them, like workshops and 402 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: things that are run under his name. So it's like 403 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 1: rich dad, poor dad. Workshops around the world have kind 404 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: of taken off and they actually have nothing to do 405 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: with him. Really. Yeah, they're like investing scheme things. You've 406 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: got to be really careful, Like the book is good, 407 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: but the workshops not so good. They'll like take you 408 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: along and like sell you an investment dream and tell 409 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 1: you all the principles of this book and how great 410 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: it is. And then they'll be like, but you need 411 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: to invest your ro It's twenty thousand dollars upfront. Sign 412 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: here on the dogline and it's actually terrifying. So don't 413 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: do that. But tell you a little bit about Robert himself. 414 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: He's an entrepreneur and an investor and author who teaches 415 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 1: financial literacy, what a guy and independence through books, videos, 416 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: and seminars. So he started off being very good. He 417 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: is a Hawaiian. He was born in nineteen forty seven 418 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: and went into the military. He actually also served in Vietnam, 419 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: which is very powerful. And then in nineteen seventy seven 420 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: he started a company that brought to market the first 421 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: nylon and Velcrow surfers wallets. 422 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 3: I love Velcrow wallets. 423 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: Do you do you still have one? I used to 424 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: have a roxy one and it was like with red 425 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,239 Speaker 1: edging girl, but like, do you remember the fabric that 426 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: their wallets were made out of? And if you got 427 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: the velcro on the wrong part of the wallet. The 428 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,239 Speaker 1: wallet kind of ended up a little bit. Yeah, it 429 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: was really messy, but I didn't want to get a 430 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: new one because they were really expensive. Down a Poincila Surf. 431 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 3: So financiala surf. I love it. 432 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: Me and my trigger track is and my Havanas walking 433 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 1: into pinitial A Surf to get a new wallet. 434 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 3: Coolest girl. 435 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: But essentially that company did end up going bankrupt. George, 436 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: we were so I was so excited about the wallets. 437 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: We were the only ones that loved that. But that 438 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: company did go bankrupt, as did his second company, I'm sorry. 439 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 1: Before he started teaching entrepreneurship investing in social responsibility, which 440 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: I find a bit rich from a guy who. 441 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 3: Has canceled that. That is bizarre that someone with failed 442 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 3: businesses could become such a famous entrepreneur. 443 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: I feel like this is so common, and I really. 444 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 3: Feel like, go throw someone under the bush. 445 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: Do this on this podcast all the time. This is 446 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: why we have next to no sponsors because I've already 447 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: burnt them all. It's one of those things where I 448 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: always find it really interesting. In this twenty twenty two 449 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: it's about the life coach, right, Yeah, like the life 450 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: coach and the business coach. And stuff, and I'm all 451 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: about it, Like I'm someone who really I love mentoring 452 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: and I love having a mentor and learning from them, 453 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: but like, can we please do some credential checks before 454 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: we hire our life coaches. Just because they've got a 455 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: good social following doesn't mean they've actually ever run a 456 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: good business. And the amount of times I've seen people 457 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: pop up being like hey, they like if you ever 458 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: need a business coach like I do, Xyz and I 459 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: have a look and I'm like, when have you ever 460 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: run a business? Like when have you done? Like where 461 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 1: did you get this knowledge from? Like how am I 462 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: learning from you? So I think that it's just a 463 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: good Obviously he's got a good book and all of 464 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: those principles are really good. But as I prefaced at 465 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: the start of when you asked me about him, I 466 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: was like, oh, this semen I was, are a little 467 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: bit like left field and not something I would really 468 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: like this she's on the money community to engage in. 469 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 1: I think it's just important to always question where if 470 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,239 Speaker 1: people come from, like who are they, what do they do? 471 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: Why would they be putting this information in front of me? 472 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: And I think that second guessing everything is not a 473 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: bad trait to have. I'm very much it's a glass 474 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: huff full person, but like that's me giving you a 475 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 1: glass half empty kind of tip. 476 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 3: It's good to be cynical. 477 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: I think you have to be in this world, especially 478 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: around money and especially around business, and you can just 479 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: get caught up so quickly being like, but this is great, 480 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: this is such a good idea. You're right, this makes sense. 481 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: But like, why is this other person teaching me that? Like, 482 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: how do they profit? Because at the end of the day, 483 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: not everything in the world is free, and yeah, someone somewhere, 484 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: somehow is making money precisely. 485 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 3: All right, On that note, let's move on to our 486 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 3: third book of the day. V I'll let you reveal 487 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 3: this one. 488 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: None of these are by women, and it's so annoying. 489 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: If more women could write more investing books, that would 490 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: be great. The next book, it's by our friend Benjamin Graham. 491 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: It's from nineteen forty nine and it's called The Intelligent Investor. 492 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: That's also really dry. 493 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 3: Surprise, surprise. 494 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: I bought the audiobook of this and just got through 495 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: the first chapter, didn't like it, read the. 496 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 3: Book, loved it, So that's interesting. 497 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I feel like audiobooks are something that 498 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: I really connect with because I can listen to them 499 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: in the car. Yeah, but listening to an investing book. 500 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 3: I feel like I've just zone out. I feel like also. 501 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: Shooting myself in the foot as someone who in September 502 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: has an investing book coming out that will also have 503 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 1: an audiobook that I will read. 504 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's going to be bored. 505 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: Don't bother with that. 506 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 3: You've got fun in snazzy presentation style. Girl wonderful, tell 507 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 3: me about the Intelligent Investor? 508 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: All right, So I like this book because it kind 509 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: of starts to go. So we've had some mindset books. 510 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: We had two mindset books, and now this book kind 511 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: of goes into the actual semantics of being a good 512 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: investor and what that means. So the first sentence I 513 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: have come up with is this book really focuses on 514 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: long term and more risk averse approaches. So Benjamin, he 515 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 1: focuses on investments that are based on research rather than speculation, 516 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: which is based on predictions. And so I like that 517 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: because again, this is the crux of investing, and I 518 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: think too many times people really skim over mindset, they 519 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: really skim over strategy and structure. And they go straight 520 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: to which ETF should I buy Victoria, I'm like, no, no, no, 521 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 1: Let's take a few steps back and learn about where 522 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: we're coming from and what our strategy looks like. And 523 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,719 Speaker 1: these books, I feel like like the foundational building blocks 524 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: of how we get there. The second sentence I've come 525 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 1: up with is the Intelligent Investor provides guidance on how 526 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: to get involved in value investing and how you can 527 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: prevent the market from dictating your financial decisions. 528 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 3: What's value investing? 529 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: So value investing is really about getting the best value 530 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: for your money, essentially, and I think that it really 531 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: goes back to those behavioral markets and emotional investing journeys 532 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: that a lot of us are on, where we go, oh, 533 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 1: they got bitcoin wild, like everybody else is buying it, 534 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,719 Speaker 1: I'm going to buy it. That was a terrible idea. 535 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: And so it's really about understanding how the markets perform 536 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: and how media picks up on the way markets perform, 537 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: and how that kind of structures your perception of what's 538 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 1: going on. So it's really about actually looking for the 539 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: value in a company and breaking it down and going 540 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: what does the profit and loss look like, what does 541 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: the balance sheet look like, how does this work and 542 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 1: how does this fit together? How does this work for 543 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: my strategy as opposed to, oh my god, I heard 544 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: the afterpay that was a good share to buy? Does 545 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: that make sense? Yea. So it's really about finding the 546 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: value in a company instead of just getting caught up 547 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: in the emotional journey that a lot of us go on. 548 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: And the same can be said for you know, once 549 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: you have something about whether you dispose of it or not, 550 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: so whether you sell an asset and when and how 551 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: that works? Yeap makes sense? 552 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 3: Sure? 553 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: Cool? Number three is this book also really I guess, 554 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: captures that by understanding your financial position and your goals, 555 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: you can then actually make effective decisions about how you 556 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: manage your money, which I just feel like as a 557 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: no brainer, But we actually have to learn that. We 558 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 1: can't just be told that. It's just got a really 559 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: good big piece that teaches you how to super understand 560 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: your financial position and your goals and what that means 561 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: and how to make effective decisions on where you want 562 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: to go and what you want to do. 563 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 3: Any chatting there about money stories. 564 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: No, no money story, No, why would they do that? 565 00:24:59,160 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: That's very shees on them? 566 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 3: Well, it is but like understanding your financial position and goals. 567 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 3: I guess that's more the tangible stuff rather than like 568 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 3: understanding yourself and your behaviors. 569 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think it is definitely less fluffy than 570 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: the way She's On the Money would present it. It's 571 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 1: definitely about goals and setting a goal and here's the 572 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: structure to achieve that goal. It's not really about understanding 573 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: your base values and goals and just like do you 574 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: know what I mean? It's like not as fluffy, but 575 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: it is a good structure and a good framework to 576 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: start basing decision making on. And some people thrive on that. 577 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: Some people want something a little bit more sterile than 578 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I really understand my money story and 579 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,719 Speaker 1: where I've come from, because do you know what, there 580 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: are some people who are just not ready for their 581 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: money stories. There are some people who just don't want 582 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: to face that music because it can be hard, and 583 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: as you see on our Money Diaries episodes like they're complex. 584 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: They're not just complex, but they're emotional and they're hard, 585 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: and working through your money story it's just not something 586 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: that everybody is ready for or even wants to delve into. 587 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: So I think that this is quite a good way 588 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: of going on. Well, he's how to understand a financial 589 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 1: position and goals and work towards them. I do obviously 590 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: think it's far more powerful. You're going to understand the 591 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: background to all of that. But you get what you 592 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: get and you don't get upset. 593 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 3: George. That's it, isn't it, mate. Let's talk about the 594 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 3: key points of the book. If we can just run 595 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 3: through them quickly. 596 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: We can, all right, So first things first, the issue 597 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: with inflation. So inflation is really important to take into 598 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,239 Speaker 1: consideration and has been a very hot topic in our 599 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,959 Speaker 1: community recently because of the rising cost of living and 600 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: how much inflation is going to be applied to our 601 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: help debts. So inflation is important. But essentially cash becomes 602 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: less valuable over time, and a dollar today is not 603 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: worth what a dollar tomorrow is worth. So for example, 604 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: a dollar ten years ago is worth more than a 605 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: dollar today. Therefore, instead of holding on to cash, Benny, 606 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: our mate, Benny, he says, we must be investing cash 607 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: so that we can beat inflation. And despite this, the 608 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: majority of investors don't take inflation into account, which is 609 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: so important. And I'm obviously going to promote my own 610 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: book later. But I have just spent so long calculating 611 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: out the difference of taking into consideration inflation and not 612 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: taking it into consideration. And my friends, I am telling 613 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: you right now, is the difference between a comfortable and 614 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: a very uncomfortable retirement. 615 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 3: Really, there you go. 616 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: Absolutely. The next is really based on property, So it's 617 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: that essentially real estate investment trusts can overcome inflation. So 618 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: that's an interesting point to take into consideration, but also 619 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 1: important to remember that this book was written in nineteen 620 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: forty nine and property has significantly changed, So let's take 621 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: that point with a very large grain of salt. The 622 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: next is that choosing which type of investor you should 623 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: become is based on your willingness to put in time 624 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: and energy and effort into your portfolio and circumstances, and 625 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: don't let your age deside. The next is defensive investing. 626 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: So a defensive investor should apparently have a minimum of 627 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: twenty five percent of their savings in bonds and then 628 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 1: a maximum of seventy five percent of their savings in chess. 629 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 3: Do you agree with that? 630 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: Not necessarily, but it's an interesting point to be taken. 631 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: The next year is our mate Benny advises on how 632 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: to actually invest in stocks. So, for example, day trading 633 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: is really risky, so I think talking about what type 634 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 1: of stock investment you're going to do, so for example, 635 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 1: working out what type of share investing is going to 636 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: work best for you, and like I guarantee you, even 637 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: though this was written in nineteen forty nine, day trading, 638 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: it's still not Probably the best idea can be a 639 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: little bit fun. Your mate over this side of the table, 640 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,959 Speaker 1: Georgia King loves to have a dabble, but it is 641 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: very risky. We aren't going to do that for our retirement. 642 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: So I think that's a very good point. The next 643 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: is to adopt an evidence based approach when investing, really important, 644 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: evidence based, Like it's not sexy, this investing stuff, Like 645 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: it's just not and I wish I could make it sexy. 646 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,719 Speaker 1: But the sexier and investing strategy sounds, the more risky 647 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,959 Speaker 1: it is likely to be. And the best type of 648 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: investments are so boring, it's so bland, Like you shouldn't 649 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: be looking at your investing portfolio and having this absolutely 650 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: emotional rollercoaster every time you look. It should be like, oh, yeah, 651 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: there she is. 652 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 3: That's true. So it's like a boring old marriage. You've 653 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 3: been together thirty years, true, she's tested, Yeah, not cheated 654 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 3: on me? 655 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 2: Yeah? 656 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 3: Perfect, Yeah, exactly. 657 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: What you don't want to a bad boy, No bad 658 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: breaks our heart, No bad boys who break our hearts exactly. 659 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: I guess is that you can make a lot of 660 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: money off market volatility, but you should never sell your 661 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: stocks in a panic. 662 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 3: We know that, Yeah, be true. 663 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: Absolutely. And the next next by which I've included, but 664 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: I don't really like it. 665 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 3: What is it? 666 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: Pee, it's don't trust and just be careful about using 667 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: financial advisors. Interesting, But I think that that's really valid 668 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: because when this book was written, there was no obligation. 669 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: And if we actually go back to nineteen forty nine 670 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: and what financial advice used to be, so financial advice 671 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: actually came out of selling insurance. It never actually came 672 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: out of putting people in the best possible financial position. 673 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: Financial advisors literally existed to sell life insurance policies, and 674 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: to me, they were all snakes. That is why this 675 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: industry has had to have such a turnaround and such 676 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: a different mindset. And nowadays financial advisors are not in 677 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,719 Speaker 1: it to just sell product, whereas historically that's what it was. 678 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: They would sell you product, they would take insurance, they 679 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: would sell you anything under the sun. And nowadays that 680 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: is so incredibly different. Obviously, there are a lot of 681 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: good eggs, like this guy who wrote this book. He 682 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: was a great guy. But it's so important to you know, 683 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: always be wary. And that's why we're always like, check 684 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: that your financial advisor is actually registered. Check how many 685 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: people are actually happy with that financial advisor, like go fishing. 686 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: It's kind of like finding a good doctor. If you're 687 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: not comfortable talking to them, how are you going to 688 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,719 Speaker 1: tell them your deepest, darkest goals and secrets and powers 689 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: and like it Just definitely take it with a grain 690 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: of salt, but yeah, do need to probably be really 691 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: transparent and tell you that he said, Beau about using 692 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: financial advisors of it. 693 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 3: But as you said, the context of the year in 694 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 3: which he wrote this stuff really come into play, so. 695 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: One hundred percent, And to be honest, that still exists today. 696 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: Because who's your best mate, George Accadic? She's not your 697 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: best mate, but who was Melissa Caadic? 698 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 3: So Melissa Kadick was in quotation marks a financial advisor, 699 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 3: but she wasn't really she was a silly little missy 700 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 3: who ripped off full of her family and friends. She 701 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 3: stole millions and millions of dollars from them. 702 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: There's a really good podcast out right now, yes by 703 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: the Sydney Morning Herald, and I am obsessed with it. 704 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: But I would absolutely go listen to that. But also 705 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: kind of scary because she quite it was like mainly 706 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: her friends and family as well, she was investing. She 707 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: ripped them all off, she took their money, and then 708 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: she disappeared. Yep, she'd been found. 709 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 3: No, her foot has been found. 710 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: It was actually confirmed her foot. I haven't got that 711 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: far into the podcast. Oly god, let's move away from this, 712 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: but it's a really spicy podcast series. But essentially she 713 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: was faking being a financial adviser and taking people's money 714 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: and that was only happening what last year. I think 715 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: her foot was found in like twenty twenty one or 716 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: something wild crasically run away for that. 717 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 3: But the way that she did that all was by 718 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 3: putting on like extra numbers or less numbers on like 719 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 3: commsick accounts and stuff like that. 720 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: Like I actually really need to be it's actually so 721 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: messed up and you should question everything and That's why 722 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: it's so beautiful having clients like I adore my job, 723 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: and as you guys know, I am so obsessed with 724 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: being financial advisor. I love my clients, I love the 725 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: work I do, I love the strategy. I feel like 726 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: it's married all of my favorite things together and I 727 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: get to do that as a career. But there's one 728 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: thing that I just can't deal with, and it's when 729 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: clients coming they're like, no, V, I know you know 730 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: what you're talking about, and I'm like, no, please sit down. 731 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: I actually just really want to show you through this. No, 732 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: don't waste my time, it doesn't matter. I'm like, it 733 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: matters to me. Like I don't want you to go 734 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: to a barbecue on a weekend and someone goes, hey, like, 735 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: where's your financial advisor? Keep xyz? Like I want you 736 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: to know. And even if you don't use that information 737 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: and you don't e a log into your portal, I 738 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: don't care that at least you have that access and 739 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: you know how to do it. It's kind of like 740 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: in a relationship when you know, you get a little 741 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: bit comfortable and your partner's always paying the bills and stuff, 742 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: but you don't know how to do that, Like, I 743 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: don't think that's good enough. I think you need to 744 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: know how to pay the bills, even if it's not 745 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: your responsibility. Like we always need to be across where 746 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: our assets are and what's going on and how it 747 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: works and how we can access them. And I just 748 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: think that it's so important. So I would say, also 749 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: be really careful obviously talking to anyone about your finances 750 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: and just find the right fit for you. But yes, 751 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: we can move on perfect. 752 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 3: I think let's go to a little break because we 753 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 3: still have two hot books to get to and this 754 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 3: has gone for a really long time, so don't go anyway. Alrighty, 755 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 3: welcome back, guys. We've got our two final books to 756 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 3: talk through today. 757 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: Ved we can probably pay a guessing game of what 758 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: one of those books is, but we'll get to that last. 759 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, give us numberfore go on. 760 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,959 Speaker 1: Right, sorry. Number four is one of my other favorites. 761 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: It's called Think and Grow Rich. I would like to 762 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: change this book's name Think and Grow Wealthy is why 763 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: would like to change it too? And it sounds fancy 764 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: because the guy who wrote this is called Napoleon, so 765 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,280 Speaker 1: his name's Napoleon Hill and it was written in nineteen. 766 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 3: At thirty seven, another old game. 767 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: Yeah again, grain of salt when we read these books, 768 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: but they're tried and true for a reason, and they 769 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: are staples in the investment community for a reason. And 770 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: it's kind of like, why would you rewrite it? Like 771 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: I didn't even bother trying because they can't do half 772 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: as good a job. And the thing that annoys me 773 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 1: about this book least is that it's just like men. 774 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: And that's fine, but I will pump my tires up 775 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: at the end. But like, because of the time and 776 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: because of when these books were written and the underlying lessons, 777 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: like women were not writing books on investing, like that 778 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,839 Speaker 1: didn't come until like literally, I think the early two 779 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: thousands was one of the first investing books that was 780 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: written by a woman. And even then, like we're not 781 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 1: naming names or talking about books like it's it's the 782 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: old formulas. And I really like going back to where 783 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: did this actually come from? Like if we're going to 784 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: talk about, you know, these investing methodologies, like which was 785 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: the book that actually started it? So I can read 786 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: that so whenever I read another book, I know where 787 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: those methodologies are coming from. And I think it's important 788 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: to kind of like get those ducks in a row. 789 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,280 Speaker 1: But Thing and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill from nineteen 790 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,359 Speaker 1: thirty seven is a very good book and has yeah, 791 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,760 Speaker 1: lots of information in it that I think you will adore. 792 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 3: Georgia King to still it down in three sentences, please. 793 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: Bekay, well before we get there. It's not nearly as 794 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: dry to read it as The Rich as Nana Babylon 795 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 1: or the Intelligent Investor. It's also not as good to 796 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,760 Speaker 1: read as She's on the Money, which I would argue 797 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,280 Speaker 1: is of a tone of voice that you and I 798 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 1: enjoy slightly more. But first sentence is that Napoleon Hill 799 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: researched more than forty millionaires to find out what made 800 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: them the men that they were, right, okay, kind of cool. 801 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: So this is like a little bit of a different 802 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 1: like take on wealth. It's really about looking at, well, 803 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,359 Speaker 1: how did you get rich? Like you're rich? Obviously they 804 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,760 Speaker 1: were all men, because millionaire nineteen thirty seven, that could 805 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: not be a woman. 806 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 3: When did women have access to bank accounts? Do you know? 807 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,919 Speaker 1: I can't tell you that date. But what I can 808 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 1: tell you is that my mom is going to be 809 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: very mad that I'm telling you, guys on a podcast, 810 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: she's in her sixties. She's probably going to be mad 811 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 1: because you wouldn't be able to guess she was in 812 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,280 Speaker 1: her sixties, so she'd be mad that that information out. 813 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: But my mom, when she was in her early twenties 814 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: started a business, and she had to get her dad 815 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,760 Speaker 1: to co sign at least to actually get her business. 816 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,760 Speaker 1: So even when my mom, this is like thirty thirty 817 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 1: five is years ago, and same thing happened when she 818 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: wanted to buy her first house even though she had 819 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: earned all the money herself and wanted to do it 820 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: all herself. Guys, that wasn't that long ago. Like this 821 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: is my mom. We're not talking about my grandparents here. 822 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: We're talking about my mom not being able to run 823 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: a business because she was a female. Because what would 824 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: we know that we are? We are women? 825 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 3: Wow, give me an next point, Vedra. 826 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 1: This is very fluffy point. We like it. Napoleon, good work. 827 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: He says whatever the mind can conceive and believe the mind. 828 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 3: Can achieve, like manifestation. 829 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he was friends with Jessica. And then 830 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 1: the number three is opportunity has a sly habit of 831 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,919 Speaker 1: slipping in by the back door and often is disguised 832 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat, which is 833 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: why so many people fail to recognize an opportunity. 834 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 3: I love that. 835 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: I adore that, which is why it made number three. 836 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 1: And I think that that's where you know, maykey while 837 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 1: the sun's shining, but also always see a negative situation 838 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 1: for what it could potentially be, not what it is. 839 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 3: Absolutely right, So I love that. So B, would you 840 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 3: say this book is more about psychology than like practical. 841 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,479 Speaker 1: Tips, Yes, absolutely, it's It's definitely about following those forty 842 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: millionaires and really understanding how they got rich. I would 843 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: call it probably like a personal development or a self 844 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: improvement book. And Napoleon, how could that name? 845 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 3: It's pretty boss. 846 00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to put it on the baby name list 847 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: for But Napoleon claimed to have written the book after 848 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: he claimed to be inspired by suggestion from the business 849 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:12,399 Speaker 1: magnate and later philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, who you might Haegie Hall. Well, yeah, 850 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,839 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. But he was essentially the person that 851 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 1: led the expansion of the American steel industry in the 852 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,320 Speaker 1: late nineteenth century and became one of the richest Americans 853 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: in history, which is kind of cool. He then became 854 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 1: like a super big philanthropist, so he just gave heaps 855 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,319 Speaker 1: of money away in the US and in Britain, which 856 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: is kind of cool. But that book Think and Grow 857 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 1: Rich was actually published during the Great Depression and was 858 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,879 Speaker 1: seen as a book that kind of inspired a lot 859 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: of people during a period of downturn. And the book 860 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 1: was sold more than fifteen million times. Kind of cool. Right, 861 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: still remains as a top seller, and it remains obviously 862 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: Napoleon Hill's number one seller. But BusinessWeek magazine best Seller's 863 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 1: list actually ranked it as the sixth best selling paperback 864 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: business book seventy years after it was published. That's incredible. 865 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 1: That's pretty cool, says it all. That'll obviously be she's 866 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 1: on the money guy. Obviously, seventy years from now, they're 867 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,320 Speaker 1: gonna be like, who's this girl is talking about bank accounts? 868 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 1: They don't even exist anymore yet. 869 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,280 Speaker 3: True, But you talk me through the five big ideas 870 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 3: of this book, all right, so let's just still it down. 871 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: There were a lot of big ideas in this book 872 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 1: that I really really like, and I think you genuinely 873 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 1: should read this again because it's one of the less 874 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: dry books on the list. But the first big idea 875 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: is that the starting point of all achievement is desire. 876 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: You've just got to want to do it. And how 877 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: many people set goals whether they're like, not that motivated 878 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: to do it, and then they're wondering why they're not 879 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:35,760 Speaker 1: achieving things. Next is g again Fluffy, definitely a mindset 880 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: self improvement book. You are the master of your destiny. 881 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:39,839 Speaker 3: I love that. 882 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: It's kind of cute, but it's also really true. And 883 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,399 Speaker 1: I really like it because if you look like she's 884 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: on the money, look at our money diarists and how 885 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 1: they change their entire lives like they are the masters 886 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: of their destiny. And I think that's really powerful. Like 887 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: you can change your situation. It doesn't matter where you 888 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,959 Speaker 1: are standing right now, you can do it, and that's 889 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,800 Speaker 1: really cool. Number three is that when defeat comes accepted 890 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 1: as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild 891 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 1: those plans and set sail once more towards your coveted goal. 892 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 1: Lovely you like that one. 893 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,320 Speaker 3: I loved that one. 894 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 1: Yeah. Number four is your greatest success will often come 895 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 1: just one step beyond the point and which defeat has 896 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:14,400 Speaker 1: overtaken you. 897 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:15,280 Speaker 3: This is huge. 898 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,359 Speaker 1: I feel like it's Fluffye, it's really nice. It's kind 899 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: of like the two steps forward one step back. Is 900 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 1: that the right thing? Maybe I should maybe not use 901 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: stuff like that. Maybe we should just go with his 902 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: which was your greatest success will often come just one 903 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: step beyond the point at which defeat has overtaken you. 904 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 1: I just think that's really inspirational. Napoleon, you're a good guy. 905 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: Would you get a coffee with Napoleon if he's by, 906 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 1: of course I would. Yeah, you'd get a coffee with 907 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 1: anyone you are supersting. And then number five is set 908 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 1: your mind on a definite goal and observe how quickly 909 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 1: the world stands aside to let you pass. 910 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 3: Set your mind on a definite goal and observe how 911 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,200 Speaker 3: quickly the world. This isn't going in my brain. 912 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 1: It's about flush maindset. It's about if you ask my 913 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: mama would be about asking the universe for something, like 914 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,400 Speaker 1: if you want something, you go out and you get it. 915 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 1: And it's kind of about what is that theory? It's 916 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,920 Speaker 1: like the theory of like when you see something, it 917 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: just starts appearing everywhere. It's like have you ever seen 918 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 1: all right, this is gonna get you. Amy Lenardi, if 919 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,279 Speaker 1: you are listening, high love you. This is our thing. 920 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 1: We're always like, do you know what we never see 921 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 1: Honda Jazz is in the color yellow? And then do 922 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 1: you know what I see everywhere now? Jazz is in 923 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: the color yellow. So now I text her every time 924 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,200 Speaker 1: I see a Honda Jazz in the color yellow. Also, 925 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:27,840 Speaker 1: if you own one of those and you're in Melbourne 926 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 1: and you've seen me just like walking down Smith Street 927 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,279 Speaker 1: taking a photo of your car, I'm sorry. I was 928 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: just sending it to Amy because it's our thing. But 929 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 1: it's about like setting a clear goal and being really 930 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 1: intentionable about that and then everything kind of like and 931 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: it falls into place. You can find the things you 932 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: need to find to actually make that happen, Like the 933 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,240 Speaker 1: world will make it happen if you want it to happen. 934 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: In a way, it's kind of fluffy. It's very just 935 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: good re chee, which we love. But it's one of 936 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 1: those things where the more you believe it, the more 937 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:57,800 Speaker 1: you can achieve it, the more you're like, if you 938 00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 1: can see it, you can become it kind of vibes. 939 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 3: This is big, big inspo. 940 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:05,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's energy development self development book vibes like it's 941 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: partly an investment book at the same time as being 942 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 1: very much about like setting your mind on things. And 943 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 1: you see this in our community all the time when 944 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: people are like, I've just decided I'm really going to 945 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 1: pay off this debt, and then they end up achieving 946 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 1: it early because they pick up another option or an 947 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,399 Speaker 1: opportunity to like have a side hustle or do something. 948 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,439 Speaker 1: And it's let's be honest, it actually all distills down 949 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 1: to you actually doing what you said you were going 950 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 1: to do. The world isn't actually spoon feeding you this stuff. 951 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,279 Speaker 1: It's about you finding a way in the world to 952 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: get this done. And that's kind of cool. But we 953 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 1: could be a bit fluffy about it. Yeah. 954 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,719 Speaker 3: Absolutely. It's worth noting that three out of the five 955 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 3: books that we've chosen to speak about today are between 956 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,720 Speaker 3: sixty and seventy years old. 957 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're real old, and that's kind of how I 958 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 1: am on the inside. 959 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:48,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 960 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:49,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. 961 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: And also I feel like I could have gone through 962 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: and picked a whole heap of books from people I 963 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,919 Speaker 1: really love, Like I could have picked Glenn James's book 964 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,720 Speaker 1: Sought Your Money Out Now, which is a friggin good book, 965 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 1: Like if you haven't read that, absolutely should be reading that. 966 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: And maybe that can be like the honorary sixth book 967 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 1: on this list of five but love your Glennie. But 968 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 1: it's one of those things where I just really wanted 969 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 1: to pick books that were really about mindset and putting 970 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,400 Speaker 1: you in the right position to take control of your 971 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: life because it's easy, Like the investing part is easy, 972 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,400 Speaker 1: and I don't want to make it sound so easy 973 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,719 Speaker 1: that I'm being condescending, but it is really easy once 974 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 1: you have a goal, you have a mindset, and you 975 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 1: have the right mentality around investing and creating wealth and 976 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,360 Speaker 1: changing your life, Like it's not hard, but the hard 977 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 1: thing is getting yourself mentally to that stage where you 978 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,880 Speaker 1: can sacrifice things, because in order to create wealth, we 979 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 1: do have to have some level of sacrifice. Like it 980 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,760 Speaker 1: is you putting off something that you could have today, George, 981 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 1: so you can have a bigger, better one later down 982 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 1: the track. Yeah, And that mentality is really hard to 983 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 1: actually come by. It's so easy to say it's so 984 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,200 Speaker 1: easy to put on a podcast, but it's actually really 985 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,239 Speaker 1: hard to be putting today you in a control seat 986 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 1: where you just say oh no, like I would like 987 00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,319 Speaker 1: another coffee, or I would really like to buy that top, 988 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 1: and you're saying no to you today, so that future 989 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,319 Speaker 1: you can have a better future. Like that's a really 990 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 1: hard mentality to actually grasp and take hold and actually 991 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,160 Speaker 1: put yourself in that control seat of So think for 992 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 1: what I do. I really wanted to pick books that 993 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,840 Speaker 1: put you in that control seat so that when you 994 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,839 Speaker 1: do read books like sort your Money out Now or 995 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:19,720 Speaker 1: She's on the Money, which we're going to talk about now, 996 00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,720 Speaker 1: you're ready to take control and you're ready to actually 997 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: implement all of those things, and you're going to be 998 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,280 Speaker 1: so much more successful. So that's why my book list 999 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,840 Speaker 1: or my reading list is definitely a little bit more dated. 1000 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,879 Speaker 1: But with dated comes tried and true strategy and philosophy 1001 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 1: and things that you know, all of the stuff we've 1002 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 1: talked about today, George, it's still tried and true today, 1003 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,840 Speaker 1: except for the property parts, which you know, we know 1004 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:43,719 Speaker 1: about the avocados. 1005 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,200 Speaker 3: Ye're all good, Yeah, So the basics down the test 1006 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 3: of time. 1007 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 1: They do.

I wrote it because I 1016 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 1: was afforded this beautiful opportunity to take our community and 1017 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 1: our podcast and all of the knowledge I have as 1018 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 1: a financial advisor and put it in a book. Never 1019 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 1: in my wildest dreams did I think that I would 1020 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,839 Speaker 1: be an author, Like, that's crazy. I used to make 1021 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 1: kids books when I was like in primary school. Yeah, 1022 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 1: and I used to like fold over the colored paper 1023 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 1: and have them as the cover on the front, and 1024 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 1: like to make it like more legit. I would like 1025 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,560 Speaker 1: use heaps of tape in like strips so it could 1026 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,320 Speaker 1: be like a laminated front cover, and I draw them anyway. 1027 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,719 Speaker 1: I loved books, and I wanted to have my own, 1028 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 1: and this idea that I could have a book was crazy. 1029 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 1: And so when I got approached by our publishers at Penguin, 1030 00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,360 Speaker 1: obviously that is so cool to be approached to write 1031 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,480 Speaker 1: a book, I just knew that I didn't want it 1032 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 1: to be a book where I was like, cool, let's 1033 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,480 Speaker 1: just chuck my brand on something. It was like I 1034 00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,319 Speaker 1: could change people's lives, Like you look at the foot 1035 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:04,000 Speaker 1: Investor and you go, that changed people's lives, and that 1036 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,799 Speaker 1: book wasn't even putting them in the best possible position ever, 1037 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 1: Like how cool would it be if I could do that? 1038 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,720 Speaker 1: And how cool would it be if I could collect 1039 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,399 Speaker 1: up all of these gems of knowledge that have been 1040 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 1: shared in our community but also have been shared, you know, 1041 00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 1: by me having worked as a financial advisor, and just 1042 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,919 Speaker 1: even stuff like my banking structure. People were raving about 1043 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 1: it when I would just share like a random PDF 1044 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:26,880 Speaker 1: in our Facebook group and I'd be like, well, this 1045 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,360 Speaker 1: is how I do my banking, and I think you 1046 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,560 Speaker 1: could really benefit from this, to be like Pictorioa's has 1047 00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 1: changed my life, the idea that that could then be 1048 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,400 Speaker 1: on scale, and that it's now in literally in the 1049 00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,560 Speaker 1: homes of thousands and thousands of people, and we've won 1050 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 1: awards for this book, Like what very very cool, George. 1051 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 1: It's sick and I'm nearly done. I am actually done. 1052 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,000 Speaker 1: We're going through the like copywriting process at the moment. 1053 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 1: Because it turns out I might be good at the 1054 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:53,480 Speaker 1: logistics of a book. I might be good at the 1055 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 1: stats and facts I'm not nearly as fun as I 1056 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,880 Speaker 1: would like to be, especially because we have investing wishes 1057 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,319 Speaker 1: on the money coming out in sept We're going through 1058 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,840 Speaker 1: that process. But like the idea, we have a second book, 1059 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 1: Hu Wild Hue, so proud, but so wild. But I 1060 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,239 Speaker 1: wrote it because I actually just wanted to take all 1061 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,839 Speaker 1: of these nuggets of wisdom and gift them to you 1062 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,319 Speaker 1: in one really easy to read book that spoke to 1063 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,239 Speaker 1: you in your language in a way that was not overwhelming, 1064 00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:22,400 Speaker 1: in a way that felt like I was on the 1065 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,799 Speaker 1: journey with you and put you in a position to 1066 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,319 Speaker 1: actually take charge of your financial future. So we're not 1067 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,279 Speaker 1: talking about like, oh my god, go and invest in X, 1068 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,799 Speaker 1: Y and Z and making these things really complicated. We're 1069 00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,680 Speaker 1: not just talking about, you know, investing mindset. I would 1070 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 1: really love to think that I've brought all those things 1071 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,239 Speaker 1: together and then structured the book in a way where 1072 00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,799 Speaker 1: each single chapter is a different step to put you 1073 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,719 Speaker 1: on a better path. Which is why at the end 1074 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,640 Speaker 1: of my book, if you've probably not read it, because 1075 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 1: why would you bother? You have to deal with me 1076 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,520 Speaker 1: every day or two. At the end of the book, 1077 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 1: there's like a twelve month action plan, So every single 1078 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,360 Speaker 1: month kind of aligns to one of the chapters to 1079 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 1: put you in a better position. So one month we 1080 00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,239 Speaker 1: do super and one when we do investments, and one 1081 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 1: month we do insurance, and like, I'm putting you in 1082 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 1: the best possible position to be as financially successful as 1083 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,480 Speaker 1: you possibly can be. And that actually just starts with 1084 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,880 Speaker 1: really good foundations. And I would love, love, love to 1085 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,319 Speaker 1: think that this book is all about getting those foundations right. 1086 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,439 Speaker 3: So you don't need to know very much about money, 1087 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,560 Speaker 3: or you don't need to have been in the community. 1088 00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:20,920 Speaker 1: For very long, so you don't need to get the 1089 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,200 Speaker 1: community to pick it up and get lots out of it. 1090 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,920 Speaker 1: I have made sure that every single chapter has one 1091 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,920 Speaker 1: or two like snippets of money diaries so that you 1092 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,680 Speaker 1: really can connect in and be like, Wow, if they 1093 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,040 Speaker 1: can do it, I can do it. And Yeah, it 1094 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,800 Speaker 1: really starts with mindset and then goes into the framework. 1095 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,520 Speaker 1: And I think that that's how I would want everyone 1096 00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,239 Speaker 1: to go on that journey and to be given the 1097 00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,640 Speaker 1: opportunity to write a book that I was completely in 1098 00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:47,480 Speaker 1: control of that goes all right. If g I was 1099 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,800 Speaker 1: going to give you one resource when it came to money. 1100 00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,720 Speaker 1: This is it? Like, that's it. That's where I came from. 1101 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,640 Speaker 3: I know you're very modest and you won't want to 1102 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,160 Speaker 3: your own horn too much here. 1103 00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like I just did that. I 1104 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 1: feel like that that was pretty good. Tell me Cheating 1105 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:02,839 Speaker 1: of Horn. 1106 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,640 Speaker 3: Tell me about the impact you've heard along the journey, 1107 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,359 Speaker 3: about this book, the change that it's made. I'm sure 1108 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:09,759 Speaker 3: you've had. 1109 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 1: I cry a lot sometimes I read the reviews, but 1110 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,160 Speaker 1: to read reviews because people can be really mean. But 1111 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,920 Speaker 1: it's really about the dms and messages and do you 1112 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,720 Speaker 1: know what, we've started getting handwritten letters if people writing 1113 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,480 Speaker 1: to us to be like, hey, Victoria, I wanted to 1114 00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,080 Speaker 1: send you a letter. I hope you don't mind. I 1115 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 1: found your address, like like obvious address, or they're not 1116 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,160 Speaker 1: out the front of my house, but they're on like 1117 00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,440 Speaker 1: obviously you can find my business address online. It's not 1118 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 1: that hard. Just explaining how much their lives have changed, 1119 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,360 Speaker 1: or that they've gotten out of, you know, financially abusive 1120 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,960 Speaker 1: relationships or situations they don't want to be in, or 1121 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,080 Speaker 1: they've taken the next step. Like I got a message 1122 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:49,719 Speaker 1: from a girl that I know has been in our 1123 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 1: Facebook group from the very beginning a couple of weeks ago, 1124 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,239 Speaker 1: and she's like, Victoria, I know that we dam all 1125 00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,160 Speaker 1: the time, but I just wanted to really say thank 1126 00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,120 Speaker 1: you because I have just negotiated a pay rise that 1127 00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:02,040 Speaker 1: I never thought I would be able to get, and 1128 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,320 Speaker 1: it was because I implemented all the tips and tricks 1129 00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,879 Speaker 1: you taught me. And I also then had the audacity, 1130 00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,959 Speaker 1: which I don't think it was audacity, but she said 1131 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 1: this had the audacity to ask to be back paid 1132 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 1: because I'd been doing that role for twelve months and 1133 00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,439 Speaker 1: now she got it. Really Now she's like so much 1134 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,320 Speaker 1: closer to buying her first home, and just like people 1135 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,719 Speaker 1: are in better positions because of this book. And that's 1136 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,239 Speaker 1: all I could ask. Yeah, because you definitely, George, like 1137 00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,319 Speaker 1: I don't know what everybody thinks, but you definitely don't 1138 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 1: write a book to make money, Like I would need 1139 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:31,799 Speaker 1: to sell millions of copies, and I would be so 1140 00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,080 Speaker 1: delighted to sell millions of copies, but you literally need 1141 00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:38,840 Speaker 1: to sell all millions, which we obviously haven't done yet. 1142 00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,759 Speaker 1: Is that pity tickets would?
