Obviously, as I said, we've just 67 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 5: come home. Cost of living has been on a lot 68 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 5: of people's minds, and I was shocked when I got 69 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 5: off the plane. I trove to the airport on empty 70 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 5: because that's who I am as a person. 71 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: She gives me mad anxiety, like it's flashing at her 72 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: and I'm like, you're gonna break down on the freeway, Jessica, 73 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,119 Speaker 1: She's like, now, I've been here before.

So I parked at the airport. Obviously 77 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 5: had to fill up at the airport gas station on 78 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 5: the way home, and I nearly cried when I saw 79 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 5: it was two dollus twenty e liter.

Also, apparently Lettuce is super exciting. 82 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: We've come home to Lettuce being really expensive. And we 83 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: saw this on Instagram because obviously, like we said, we 84 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: were on holiday and we were like, we're really uncontactable. 85 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: Please don't talk to us.

But I went down to 91 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: my local calls and I was like, thirteen dollars for 92 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: an iceberg?

We're all feeling it 98 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 5: across the board, from utilities to groceries and all those 99 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 5: kinds of things. And a lot of people in the 100 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 5: Facebook group have been asking is it gonna get worse? 101 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 5: Can we expect it to continue? Should we be preparing? 102 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,799 Speaker 5: Do I need to start growing my own lettuces? 103 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 2: Like? 104 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 4: What do I do? 105 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: I mean you could? Do you have enough room at 106 00:04:59,440 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: your place? 107 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 5: No? 108 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 4: My backout is one meter deep, So. 109 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: Okay, so not an option. Yeah, look, that's a pretty 110 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: blunt question. Is it going to get worse? Let's be honest. 111 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: I sorry to bring this party wiped out. Yeah it is. 112 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: We're headed for a recession. It was announced mid June 113 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: that we're officially in a recession. Oh no, sorry, that 114 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: was draw romantic. We're officially in a bear market. So 115 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: a bear market, yes, literally, it does mean bear as 116 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: in the animal. It's not some technical term or acronym. 117 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: It is quite literally the animal. But a bear market 118 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: officially is when the share market is down by twenty 119 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: percent from its twelve month average high. That can be 120 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: really scary for investors. It can be really scary for 121 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: our community to be honest as an advisor, as someone 122 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: who's quite literally obsessed with shares and research and data, 123 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: like we knew this was coming. It doesn't make it 124 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: any easier to swallow because it is really hard. But 125 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: I guess inflation is a really good indicator of that. 126 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: As that increases, it's very good indicator that we're in 127 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: the shed markets probably not doing as well as it could. 128 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: We've obviously had a lot of like tumultuous times over COVID. 129 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: I mean Australia was here really hard as well with 130 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: the bushfires before COVID. And then we also now have 131 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: your Russia invading Ukraine which is stopping a lot of 132 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: export and global economies actually functioning properly. So we are, 133 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: according to Victoria divine already in one, but according to economists, 134 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: not in one yet, but headed towards one. That sounds 135 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: like a bit of a downer. But the thing I 136 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: love about this conversation is I guess that this isn't 137 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: our first time seeing our first rodeo.

Because of super Like that's the 330 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: impulsory all right, carry on, sorry. 331 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 4: But it is. 332 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 3: It's so important for women, and we know when we 333 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 3: get to retirement, so many of us end up in 334 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 3: a much worse off position, especially compared to men, because 335 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 3: we have taken time out of the workforce to raise families. 336 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 3: And there's so many other factors that go into it. 337 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 3: But I think, especially if you're self employed or freelance, 338 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 3: make sure you're paying super because it is so very important, 339 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 3: little boring but important. The other thing I would say 340 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 3: is don't use after pay if you can avoid it, 341 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 3: Like that was maybe obvious, an obvious take from us, 342 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 3: but yeah, not a fan of what. 343 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: Do you mean do we not? Like not the biggest fans. Interesting, 344 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: I'm not going to go on and on about them 345 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: because they already got them to ask me to stop, 346 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: So not gonna though. All Right, So I feel like 347 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: that is an epic question, and I totally agree with that. 348 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: Like Jess's advice of getting out of debt is the 349 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: one thing that I would say is a priority if 350 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: you're in it right now. I feel like it's so 351 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: easy to bury your head in the sand around consumer 352 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: debt because it feels overwhelming, And yeah, I guess that's 353 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: where you came from too, Jess. You or she's on 354 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: the money community member, now you are she's on the money, 355 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: which is so cool to me, But my advice would 356 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: really be so boring and comparison to hear answers this 357 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: budget and it's cash flow, and it's remembering that it's 358 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: not actually what you earn, it's what you save and 359 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: invest and care about. It's really about your ability to 360 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: understand every single dollar that comes Because I basically can 361 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: guarantee all of you are able to answer the question 362 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: of like how much do you earn? You'll be like, oh, 363 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: I earn sixty grand, or earn seventy or awn more 364 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: than that or whatever it is, but not many of 365 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: you could say on an annual figure, like we'll actually 366 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: spend sixty grand a year, like we don't know that number. 367 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: And I think that that's such a powerful number to 368 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: understand because if we can get an understanding of every 369 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 1: dollar that comes in and work out what job that 370 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: dollar has it doesn't matter what it is, and understand 371 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,479 Speaker 1: them what leaves our bank account, that's where our power is. 372 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 1: That's what we can actually, you know, use to put 373 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: ourselves back in control because we understand it, and not 374 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: many people genuinely understand their cash flow. And I say 375 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: that as a legitimate financial advisor who talks to people 376 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: who earn sixty grand a year, but also people who 377 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: earn four hundred five hundred two million dollars a year 378 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: literally on a weekly basis. And even those people, once 379 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: they are earning millions a year, they genuinely can't tell 380 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: me either. Some of my wealthiest clients are not the 381 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: ones that are earning millions. Is the ones that were 382 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: consistent and steady and understood and cared and we can 383 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: all do that. It is hard at the start to 384 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: pull your head under the sound because it is overwhelming. 385 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: But from my position, it's really about that budgeting cash 386 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: flow as a foundational skill to then you know, go 387 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: all right, this is my budget. This is what debt 388 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: can do for me. Okay, now I need to care 389 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,959 Speaker 1: about super like. There are heaps of steps, but like 390 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: that for me would be the first one. I hope 391 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: that answers your question. Yes, that was beautiful. 392 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 4: Thank you, got chazs wen up. 393 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 7: Next, thank you, Happy birtha, victorious my birthday, two birthday, buddies. 394 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 4: Birthday, thank you.

Thanks for coming, Jasmine. 405 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: Also thanks for asking that as an end of financial 406 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: year baby. Our friend over here, Georgia King, did some research. 407 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 3: And by that she means I read one article and 408 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 3: I'm going. 409 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: To share the find just one that came up on 410 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 1: Google news dot com dot are you pulling through with 411 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: the goods? 412 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 4: You're not wrong? 413 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 3: Actually, So Statskirl, though coming at you, OG fans will 414 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 3: know you. 415 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: You are known as stats girl in the community. Could 416 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 1: be statskill two point zero. 417 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 3: So a couple of stats that have come out from 418 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 3: this first batch of census. 419 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: There's more to. 420 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 3: Come, plenty more to come, which we will dig into 421 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 3: when we do do our big episode on it. But 422 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 3: millennials have caught up to baby boomers, so I think 423 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 3: there's five point five million of US five point five 424 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 3: million of them. There's a couple in Australia, not across 425 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 3: the world. 426 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: That would be small because the census is Australia. Correct. 427 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 4: Are we thing new boomer does that? Like, that's what's 428 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 4: becoming career? 429 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: Okay? But according to the guy on TikTok on the 430 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: videos watching this instead of doing work and preparing for this, 431 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: he was like, oh my gosh. Yeah, So the older 432 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: generation on TikTok like, you know that, you guys born 433 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: in the nineties. I was like, sir, the older generation ogo, 434 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: it hurts. 435 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 3: So that was the first stat and the second start 436 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 3: was that there's been a huge increase in people moving 437 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 3: back home. So I think it was for men, there's 438 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 3: been an increase since the last census of about seventeen percent, 439 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 3: so it's something like two hundred and eighty thousand men 440 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 3: between the ages of twenty five and thirty four are 441 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 3: back at home. And for women, it's been a jump 442 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 3: of like thirteen or fourteen percent, and it's about one 443 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty thousand people women within that age bracket 444 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 3: are back at home, which I think is understandable given 445 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 3: like accountable, darker. 446 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: Time we're living in. As previously mentioned, let's reframe that 447 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: though they've all been listening to Shoes on the Money 448 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: and want to save money, and they've made the decision 449 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: to move home because they're financially savvy, that's it. I've 450 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: also been doing a little bit of research, mainly because 451 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: the second it came out, I was on the ABS 452 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: website like, ha, this is so fun. Unsurprisingly, our income 453 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: has increased, I mean, not as much as we need 454 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: to keep up with inflation, but it's gone from six 455 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two dollars to eight hundred and five dollars, 456 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: which is a nice little boost of one hundred and 457 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: forty three dollars. We like the income is increasing because 458 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: obviously that's reflective of a semi healthy economy. But the 459 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: thing that I didn't like about it is that, like 460 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: that gender and demographical and geographical disparity is still there, 461 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: so you know, there is still that gap between males 462 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: and females and what they earn, and people who are 463 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: living regionally and people who are living in metro and 464 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: what they earn. And I guess looking at that, they're 465 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: the statistics that as a community and as she's on 466 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: the money, we really want to focus on. We don't 467 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: want to go, oh my god, we're earning more like 468 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: because we kind of not like as a community, we're women, 469 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: so like, that's a nice number. But did we all 470 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: get that pay rise? Probably not, let's be honest. And 471 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: then the second thing is really interesting statistic. There are 472 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: now in Australia more than one million people that are 473 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 1: earning more than three grand a week. So that's a 474 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: lot of money. And you go million relatable content, unrelatable content. 475 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: I clearly don't pay these guys well enough, but to 476 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: put that in context of our population, that means one 477 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: in twenty five people are now earning more than one 478 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty six thousand dollars each and every single week, 479 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: which means when you go to Cohle's, you're just walking 480 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: around with some people who are technically rich every single time, 481 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: which is kind of cool. 482 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 4: They're buying all the Iceberg. 483 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,959 Speaker 1: Lettus, They're buying all the Iceberg lettuce. That's why they 484 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: can charge that much because they know, apparently we can 485 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: afford it. The other thing is unemployment rates are up, 486 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: and I wanted to mention that when we're talking about, 487 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: you know, data and around the census, because that is 488 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: not surprising, given COVID, given everything that is happening, given 489 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: the fact that we are now officially in a bear 490 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: market and that we're heading towards a recession, I'm not 491 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: surprised by this, but it is disheartening because one point 492 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: six six seven million people are now unemployed. And as 493 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: much as that's a terrifying number, because essentially, back to 494 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: the statistic I gave you before, of now a million 495 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: people are earning more than three grand a week, that's 496 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: one in twenty five people that are unemployed. Like that 497 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: is a lot of people, and given the recession that 498 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: is coming, it's only going to increase. So I think 499 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: that we need to just be really conscious of our 500 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: emergency funds, really conscious of what's going on, having a 501 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: little bit of empathy for the people that are surrounding us, 502 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: because it's not going to be easy for everybody. That's 503 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: a really dull Later ended, Jasmine, I hope that has 504 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: answered some of it, but yes, we're going to do 505 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: an entire episode. But the thing about the ABS is 506 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: they don't release all census starter at once. They like 507 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: to like trickle it out to keep the engagement rates high. 508 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: Kind of rude, kind of what we do. Maybe they've 509 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: got our strategy to keep their community engaged. Yeah, we 510 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: will do a whole episode on it when we have enough, 511 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: because I really want to crack that. The thing I 512 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: also want to crack is our own community census, which 513 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: will be coming out in the next month or so, 514 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 1: so we get a really good feel of what our 515 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: community are doing, not just what Australia is doing. So 516 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: thank you. 517 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 4: Happy birthday, Happy birthday, Thank you. 518 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: Hi guys him Chloe, is it your birthday too?

Spoiler we didn't. What 525 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 1: do you mean? 526 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I'll take it. 527 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 3: Firstly, that's like the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. 528 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 3: Thank you so much. But I would say for me, 529 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 3: I never knew what I wanted to do. All I 530 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 3: knew in high school was that I liked writing, I 531 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 3: liked talking, and I liked performing a little bit of 532 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 3: a drama rge, and so that led me to like 533 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 3: a career in media. But I was always really jealous 534 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 3: of the kids in school that were like, I want 535 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 3: to be a nurse, and that path was really clear, Oh, 536 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 3: I want to be a surgeon, I want to be 537 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 3: a teacher, and it was just really obvious where it's me. 538 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 3: I was like, I like to talk and write. So yeah, 539 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 3: eventually found my way into a media degree and from 540 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 3: there have just done numerous roles in various companies, doing 541 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 3: lots of different things, driving golf buggies at the Grand 542 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 3: Prix to now hosting Shees on the Money, And Yeah, 543 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 3: I think if you're kind of questioning where you want 544 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 3: to direct your career, it's a really good idea just 545 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 3: to ask yourself what you love, what you're passionate about, 546 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 3: what you're good at, and then try and push yourself 547 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 3: into those spaces just for like interning experience or work experience, 548 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 3: and see if it is what you want to do 549 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 3: from there. But yeah, I would also say, like you 550 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 3: just I don't feel like I'm nailing it at all, 551 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 3: Like I'm so sweaty. 552 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 4: But yeah, that's probably all I have to say. 553 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone has self doubt and struggles with career stuff, 554 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 3: so yeah, don't be hard on yourself. 555 00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 4: If you are someone who is hard on yourself. 556 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 5: I feel my experience was pretty similar in that I 557 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 5: think I said this on the pod before. 558 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 4: Actually, like I had. 559 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 5: A really non linear career journey to get to here, 560 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 5: and I have this really clear memory of being in 561 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 5: high school and I was a fellow theater kid to 562 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 5: represent we. 563 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: Only hire drama kids. 564 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, we are the drama apparently.

Well thanks, babe, cute 576 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: from that Jamous Filett look at this. 577 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, And so I graduated and I kind of just 578 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 5: got a job in I think I was in real 579 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 5: estate and just doing admin, and I kind of worked 580 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 5: my way up and learned new skills and I ended 581 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 5: up here. Actually, during COVID, I was working in a 582 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 5: warehouse because I lost my job like so many people did, 583 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 5: and I just needed to put money on the table. 584 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 5: And I got a job working in a warehouse and 585 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 5: it definitely wasn't the dream, but it was a job, 586 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 5: and I was very grateful. 587 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 4: And I was. 588 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 5: Listening to Shees on Money, and I was paying off 589 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 5: my debt and I was doing all of the right things. 590 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 5: And I saw an Instagram post go up on the 591 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 5: Shoes on the Money Instagram that said you were hiring somebody, 592 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 5: and I was just like, oh my god, the stars 593 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 5: have aligned. I meant to be here, and I applied 594 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 5: for the job, and I just I remember I wanted 595 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 5: it so badly. 596 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 1: Yeahs old, I'm sorry to money in here, Like, I 597 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: don't mean, how bad did you want it? I mean 598 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: I asked people to send a cover letter explaining why 599 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: they would want their job and their resume through Jess 600 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: what did you do? 601 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 4: I sent a video of myself saying how badly I 602 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 4: wanted to pinch job me to. 603 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: B It wasn't even just that she'd Jess is a 604 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: little bit of a YouTuber, so she'd created me this 605 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: customer YouTube, completely edited, telling me exactly why I was 606 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 1: a perfect fit. Should stop looking for anybody else because 607 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: I'm wasting my time. Here's what I do with schese 608 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: on the money. This is what your socials would look like, 609 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: this is what your content would be like. This is 610 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: why I know I'm the best for this job. And 611 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 1: I was like, you're coming in or. 612 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 4: Like two days later I started working on Yeah. 613 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: Literally, I was like, how much notice do you have 614 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: to give in your work in a warehouse? When do 615 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: you want me? 616 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 2: Like? 617 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 1: And it was fantastic. But I think that that's what 618 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: I guess, you know, as the person who's the employer, 619 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: and arguably I'm a very young, probably very different employer 620 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: to a lot of people. I've never looked at credentials 621 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,360 Speaker 1: as some form of entitlement to a good job or 622 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: as some form of acknowledgment like and I look at it, 623 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: maybe because I'm privileged enough to have four degrees, I'm 624 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: just going, well, I'm still not smarter than these guys, 625 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: Like what's that done? For me. So I've always hired 626 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: on tenacity. I've always hired on energy. And the second 627 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: you know, not to rub your ego to me, if 628 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: you could just block your ears while I share this 629 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: with them, that would be great. The second I saw 630 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: justice application, I was like, I want that energy in 631 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: my business. I want the person who is as passionate. 632 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: Thought you were as passionate as I am about my business, 633 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: in my business working for me. I don't care if 634 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: she doesn't have the technical skills. I can see that passion. 635 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: I can see that I am going to be able 636 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: to teach her that that is fine by me. And 637 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: I had so many really educated, really experienced people apply 638 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: for the role that Jess applied for, and I just like, 639 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: I don't even care what you've done. I want the 640 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: person who genuinely wants it. And so I guess that's 641 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: about tenacity and actually just putting yourself forward. And we 642 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: know that women are far less likely to put themselves 643 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: forward when good jobs come up that they desperately want, 644 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:37,959 Speaker 1: they go, oh, maybe if I have a few more 645 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: years of experience. I'm literally a boss telling you the experience. 646 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: It might matter, But like, what's the worst that could 647 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: happen if you put yourself forward. You've got a really 648 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: great experience. You've got more experience putting together a resume, 649 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: writing a cover letter, maybe having an interview, and the 650 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: worst thing that they can say is no, and you 651 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: just stay in the job that you were in before. 652 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: The alternative of that is you being consistently disappointed. And before, Georgia, 653 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: you said that you really admired those people who had 654 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: their stuff together in high school. This is so bad, 655 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: and I wish I'm not mentioning because I know you're 656 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: going to go looking for it. I found my Debutante 657 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: DVD from two thousand and eight DVD and I had 658 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: to like go find My partner used to play PlayStation 659 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: a lot. We didn't have a DVD player at home. 660 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: I had like be like, do we have a PlayStation 661 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: or something we could play a DVD. So I had 662 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: to go find it so I could watch this debutante thing. 663 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: And if you did your debutante, you know that he's 664 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: really weird looking back on it, like what was that? 665 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: They like present you and explain like what you want 666 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: to be when you grow up, and it's like mine 667 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: is Victoria wants to be a surgeon. Do I look 668 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: like a surgeon? So I feel like I was that 669 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: kid that was so stuck on what I wanted to 670 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: be when I grew up, because I knew that was 671 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: kind of impressive, right Like if I say I'm a 672 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: surgeon or I'm going to be a surgeon, and I'm 673 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: working towards that, like, that's good. So I just feel 674 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: like even if people around you seem to know what 675 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: they want, that doesn't necessarily mean that that's where they'll 676 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: end up or that's actually what they want, because I 677 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: think for me, I was just trying so hard to 678 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: pick something that gave me that sense of achievement that 679 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: I was trying to look for. And looking back on 680 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: my career, my arguably semi short career because I am 681 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: now in my heading towards my mid thirties, I look 682 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: back at it and go, all right, what is the 683 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: consistent here? And the consistent isn't actually a surgeon or 684 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: a psychologist, or a financial advisor or now a podcaster. 685 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,479 Speaker 1: It is actually that I just wanted to help people, 686 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: and I was desperately searching for a way to connect 687 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: and to help and to put people in a better position. 688 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: And so for me. I think my advice would be 689 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: follow the things that give you energy, follow the things 690 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: that feel you full of joy, because they will grow. 691 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: And it's very hard to grow something that you don't 692 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: put a lot of love into. So I think that 693 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: when it comes to Korea, taking the pressure off what 694 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: that is and going what do I want to do 695 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: and how does that work? Because I think it's just 696 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: everything that has worked out for me in life isn't 697 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: because I was already good at it. It was because 698 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: I just gave it a crack. And you know, I 699 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: know what this looks like. I have been at panel events, 700 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: I've been at things. Look at the people on the stage. 701 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, Like they're so impressive or 702 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: they're this, or they're that or the other. Like we're 703 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: not like, we're just like you. I mean, we've got 704 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: professional hair and makeup, so we're like the best versions 705 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: of ourselves right now. But it's interesting you only see 706 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: the highlight reels of stuff. People aren't going to share 707 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: the highest, the lows, the main crying like it happens 708 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: all the time. But I think that career puts a 709 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: lot of pressure on you and for a lot of 710 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: people it's not even the main priority of their life. 711 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: I hope that has answered some of them. 712 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 4: Thank you, hi Els. 713 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: I just had a question about investing. Hello, what do 714 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: you think the biggest misconceptions are around investing? Oh, there's 715 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: a few. Do you girls have some misconceptions? Before I 716 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: dive straight in? 717 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 3: I think, I mean they haven't started investing. Actually I 718 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 3: micro invest, So three cheers. 719 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: I'm superannuation Georgia King. 720 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, exactly right. 721 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 3: But I would say it's that you need to wait 722 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 3: to start investing when you're earning more down the line, 723 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 3: when you're financially set up. It's like a rich person's game, 724 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 3: when really we know that the sooner you start, the better. 725 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 4: V what's the stat you always. 726 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 3: Roll out that when you're twenty one to sixty five? 727 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: Really should have put me under these versions? You know 728 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: the numbers you mean, like the compound interest one. Okay, 729 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: So the stat Georgia is referring to is the one 730 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: that I use a lot because I want to contextualize 731 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: that it doesn't take millions of dollars to make a 732 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: million dollars, and that is when you are twenty one. 733 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,959 Speaker 1: Let's not mess this up when you're twenty one, if 734 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: you started investing five hundred dollars each and every single 735 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: month at an average rate of return of about seven 736 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: and a half percent, which financial advisors like to use, 737 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: nice clean number, also a relatively safe number to head 738 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: your bets on. If you were putting that money, that 739 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: five hundred bucks each every single month into a savings account, 740 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: when you turn sixty five, you'll have two hundred and 741 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: forty thousand dollars. Like that cool, no problems. Had you 742 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 1: invested that at that average rader return of seven and 743 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,760 Speaker 1: a half percent, you would have one point two million 744 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,399 Speaker 1: dollars and a one point two million dollar investment portfolio 745 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: pays you dividends, and so dividends are the income that 746 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: your share portfolio produces. It's not about selling it down. 747 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,760 Speaker 1: Pays you an income of about fifty to sixty thousand 748 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: dollars each and every single year. That is you creating 749 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 1: an income for yourself. Imagine what you could do if 750 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: you cared more about your super once you, you know, get 751 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: a little bit more sturdy in your career and have 752 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: a little bit more free cashlow and can throw some 753 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,760 Speaker 1: more money at stuff like that, Like we can create 754 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: financial freedom. It does not take millions of dollars to 755 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: create millions. And you know, I use that stat a 756 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: lot because I'm not twenty one anymore. It's going to 757 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: take me a little bit more to get there, and 758 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: that's okay, But like I think that that really contextualizes 759 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: the power of time and how we all kind of 760 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,959 Speaker 1: wish we'd started earlier, but it puts like that five 761 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: in our back pocket to start sooner and get our 762 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: ducks in a row and you know, really start and really, 763 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: you know, start going there. And you're right, you don't 764 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 1: need millions of dollars. This is not sponsored. He is 765 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: just good. But our friends at Chares's right, like they 766 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,959 Speaker 1: have found a way to make the entry point one cent, 767 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: Like use the code SotM and you get ten bucks. 768 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: But like, legit, it's that easy nowadays. I know, historically 769 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,320 Speaker 1: it was really prohibitive and it was a man's community 770 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: and it was really about like a blowkey thing. And 771 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 1: I mean, the more I talk tomorrowseas actually round into 772 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: someone who's like, I'm an investor and I'm just like 773 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: here we go. And we had a really fun conversation 774 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: without me telling him what I did. But he definitely 775 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: knew more than me. I'm shaking my head for those 776 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: of you who are listening to this podcast, But it's 777 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: really interesting because it is such a blokes thing and 778 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 1: it's such a man's plain thing, and it's just it's 779 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: not as hard as you think it is. It can 780 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: be so simple and Jes like, you're now an investor, 781 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: which makes me so proud, and you're really prioritizing it. Guys. 782 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: Jess came into the office a couple of weeks ago 783 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: just like, yes, So I was fining these shares and 784 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 1: I've done my research, and I was like, who have 785 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: you become? I love this, but Jess, what's yours? 786 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 4: I think it is kind of what you just said. 787 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 5: I always thought that it would be much harder than 788 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 5: it actually is. Like it really did seem quite elusive 789 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 5: and overwhelming, and I guess because I didn't grow up 790 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 5: in a family that ever really spoke about investing, it 791 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 5: seems so far away for me. But once I had 792 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 5: listened to the podcast and done my research, I realized 793 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 5: that it's actually not that hard, and there are a 794 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 5: lot of things that you can do to make it 795 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 5: easier on yourself. You can buy ETFs that are pre balanced, 796 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 5: and there are all of these different options that are available, 797 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 5: and it's much easier to kind of just start and 798 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 5: kind of learn a bit more as you go and 799 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 5: take the plunge and commit. 800 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 4: To learning and commit to doing it regularly, and it's 801 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 4: all going to be okay. 802 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,919 Speaker 5: It's not that hard and it's not that bad, and 803 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,839 Speaker 5: there are so many great resources out there that you 804 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 5: can use to learn new things. 805 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 4: I hear there's a podcast that talks about it. 806 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 1: Sometimes, interested also a book coming out. Well, I don't 807 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 1: like reading about it. I think the thing I'd add 808 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: to that is that there's obviously this misconception that investing 809 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 1: is like gambling, and it couldn't be further from the 810 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 1: truth if you look at historical data over the last 811 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: thirty years, like, not one person who stayed invested for 812 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,919 Speaker 1: that thirty year period lost money. So it's really about 813 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 1: a long term game, you know. Obviously, investing recently, I 814 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 1: feel like has had a lot of shade thrown at it, 815 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: purely because we've got these crypto influences and people throwing 816 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: money at these things that we think are really safe. 817 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: It makes me so uncomfortable, honestly, and I'm sorry this 818 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 1: if this is you, it makes me so uncomfortable when 819 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: I talk to people and they're like, yeah, I'm investing 820 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: in crypto, and then I have these really nice conversations 821 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 1: and be like, oh my god, what else do you 822 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:50,919 Speaker 1: invest in? And they're like, I'm not the share market 823 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 1: too risky. I'm like, what, Like that asset class that 824 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: you have chosen isn't even regulated in this country for 825 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: a reason, like where you got your information? Like, I 826 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: totally understand that it is sexy and fun, and you know, 827 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: it's fun if that's what you want to get involved with, 828 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: But just this idea that investing is a gamble is 829 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 1: not the case if you're educating yourself and making decisions 830 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 1: that are putting you in the best possible position. And 831 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,720 Speaker 1: I think the other misconception, Yeah, it's just around accessibility 832 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:26,439 Speaker 1: and affordability and that I don't know. We're talking about 833 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: it a while ago, George, and you're like, yeah, but 834 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: I just don't know how much to put in. I'm 835 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 1: like five bars, Like you don't have to take your 836 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: life savings and put it into the investment market. You 837 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 1: just have to dip your toes in and see how 838 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: you're going and it might start like George's recently started 839 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,280 Speaker 1: micro investing just to see how the markets are performing. 840 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: And if you do that for twelve months, because that's 841 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,480 Speaker 1: what makes you comfortable, Like, that's what makes you comfortable. 842 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: Like we're not saying go and start throwing that five 843 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 1: hundred bucks a month. And that's just a really good example. 844 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: It's about understanding it. And the best investment you can 845 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,440 Speaker 1: make today is actually in your own education. And sometimes 846 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 1: again not to stereotype, sometimes as women we get analysis 847 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 1: paralysis and we think we need to know absolutely every 848 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 1: single thing about a topic before we dive into actually 849 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,880 Speaker 1: doing that. And I find that the Shoes on the 850 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 1: money community is very similar. They're like, oh, I just 851 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,439 Speaker 1: don't know enough about investing yet. I'm like, well, why 852 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: don't we put five dollars into your financial literacy, put 853 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 1: it on an investing platform, and you follow the markets 854 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,359 Speaker 1: instead of just reading about it. So I think it's 855 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,720 Speaker 1: about really contextualizing what that means for you and knowing 856 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: that it doesn't have to be your life savings. It 857 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 1: can start small. It can be a small decision and 858 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,400 Speaker 1: a small step in the right direction. I hope that amazing. 859 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:42,879 Speaker 7: Thank you. 860 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,280 Speaker 1: That is all we have time for, is it well?
