There's no butter left, you know, 329 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 7: when you have to like really dig into the corners 330 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 7: and I just. 331 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 2: Put it in the microwave and then I pour it 332 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 2: all over. 333 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 7: Maybe it's a great idea, or like, you know, I've 334 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 7: used vegetable oil and stuff like things that aren't you know, 335 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 7: it's I. 336 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 2: Would prefer no butter. 337 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 7: Sometimes when you need you use literally anything mayonnaise anyway, 338 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 7: enough of that. 339 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 6: But I saw this. 340 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 7: I think it was a TikTok of this person who 341 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 7: was doubling or even tripling the amount of butter they 342 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 7: had by literally just whipping it. 343 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 6: Maybe adding a little bit of milk and whipping it. 344 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 7: And so if you like, if you feel like you 345 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 7: need a little bit of butter to last you a 346 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 7: long time, or you just literally can't afford butter for 347 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 7: the week or whatever, Bougie too, you whip the butter. 348 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 7: If you literally can't afford like a handheld electric one, 349 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 7: you just whatever you need, like, get some get a fork, 350 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 7: get a whisk, whatever, and that. 351 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 6: Will help elongate or prolong Is. 352 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 2: That the right way stretches it? 353 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 7: It stretches it. Some people cannot afford these things. 354 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 2: No, but like butter's expensive. Butter is really expensive, and 355 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 2: Bougie whipped butter. Kids would love that totally hundred I 356 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 2: love that. That is a very good tip back. 357 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 6: Thank you, all right very much. 358 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 2: Let's go to a really quick break.

Now, let's take a listen to this 373 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 2: week's money dilemma. Hi, She's on the Money Team. 374 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 8: I recently read your chapter on cash flow, and I'm 375 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 8: intending on opening another savings account now. I currently have 376 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 8: a short term savings account, and I also have a 377 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 8: savings account which I don't make contributions to, which my 378 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 8: parents have been contributing to since I was born, which 379 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 8: I'm very grateful for. Should I open my new savings 380 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 8: account with the intention of it being my emergency fund 381 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 8: or long term savings I don't know whether the account 382 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 8: which I don't make contributions to should be considered my 383 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 8: emergency fund or long term savings account, or am I 384 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 8: just overthinking this? 385 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 2: Thank you? I think everyone is good at overthinking it. 386 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 2: But Annalisa, I'm just going to. 387 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 3: Jump right in here. 388 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 2: V Yeah, you're fresh to the table. 389 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 3: I've highly qualified to answer this question. Yeah. 390 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 5: Well, she has her own band as reading from the 391 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 5: book of Victoria Devine, I can say, straight up, if 392 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 5: you have any consumert you pay that off first. 393 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 3: But what's the most important thing, your emergency fund fund. 394 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 3: Get that emergency fund going, honey. 395 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 2: So we don't even need me like that producer just 396 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 2: knows me like the back of her hand. 397 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 3: She's like Victoria or that would be terrify. 398 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 2: I'm kind of great because I mean, I do last work. 399 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 5: Heard from, and it's it's to get your emergency fund 400 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,479 Speaker 5: going if you can. And that's not the first thing 401 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 5: you should do. Of course, pay off any can debt. 402 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 5: But it sounds un fortunately this. 403 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: If you're not in any consumer debt, you are correct. 404 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: The next step would be really focusing on an emergency 405 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 2: fund as the like kind of next hygiene box to tick. 406 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 2: But it's interesting because I don't think you gave us 407 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 2: enough context for me to be able to appropriately go, oh, 408 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 2: well this that the other. So let's pretend you've got 409 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 2: your short term savings account. For me, I wouldn't be 410 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 2: looking at short term savings account as something to rely 411 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 2: on because obviously it might be for your next holiday analysa, 412 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 2: or it might be for you know, you to get 413 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 2: your car serviced or something. 414 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 3: So which means my short term it's like. 415 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 2: Usually it's all those things that you have to sup. Yeah, 416 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 2: it's those things that you have to save for that 417 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 2: you will spend the money on in less than twelve 418 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 2: months usually, So short term savings is anywhere between. I 419 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 2: would say twelve to twenty four months. Anything above and 420 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 2: beyond that I would look at as more longer term savings. 421 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 2: You mentioned that you have a savings account that your 422 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 2: parents will contributing to. That's fantastic, But how much. 423 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:54,959 Speaker 3: Is in that? 424 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,239 Speaker 2: So is that amount enough for an emergency fund? So 425 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 2: pretend you have no Pretend you don't have any of 426 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 2: those accounts, because at the moment I can tell they're 427 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 2: overwhelming you. You're like, where should I be? What should 428 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 2: I do? How much do you want in an emergency 429 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 2: fund if you've got one? So what does that look like? 430 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 2: For most people in our community, they want at least 431 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 2: three months worth of their expenses. So We're not talking 432 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 2: three months worth of expenses and savings and all your investments. 433 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 2: We're just like, all right, Beck, if sh one t 434 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 2: hit the fan tomorrow, how much would it cost you 435 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 2: for three months to just put food on the table, 436 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 2: pay your rent, and pay your bills and be okay? 437 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 2: What would that look like? And you might go, oh, V, 438 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 2: that's like five thousand dollars, and I go okay, no worries. 439 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 2: That might then become your goal for an emergency fund. 440 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 2: There's no right or wrong when it comes to emergency funds. 441 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 2: Because you might go, V, I see your logic, but 442 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 2: I'm an anxious girl. We and I need ten thousand dollars. 443 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 2: There might be no rhyme or reason to that. That's 444 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: just a number that's in your head that makes you 445 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 2: feel comfortable. You do you I don't care. You might 446 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 2: also go I don't care about an emergency fund. I 447 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 2: see you're logic, and I raise you my logic, which 448 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 2: is only five hundred dollars in that account, at which 449 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 2: point I go, that's fine, as long as it's a confident, 450 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 2: educated decision where you know that you know our community 451 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 2: usually have three months, but you've got some reason as 452 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 2: to why you're comfortable with that. Again, there's no right 453 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 2: or wrong, there's just guidance where I think everybody always 454 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 2: wants a number, right, Like, every time I talk to 455 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 2: someone about how much should I be saving, they're always 456 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 2: saying what percentage of my income should I be saving? 457 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 2: And I go, I can't tell you that because if 458 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 2: I said ten percent back, that's wildly inaccurate for a 459 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,959 Speaker 2: single mum who's on an income of forty thousand dollars, 460 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 2: but definitely not enough. If you're a radio podcast producer 461 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 2: on four hundred thousand dollars, you know, sorry, which ones. 462 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 3: Are ver that much? Hey, I'd like to meet that person? 463 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 2: No, but do you know what I mean? These things 464 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 2: don't make sense for everybody, so we need to make 465 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 2: sure that they make sense for our circumstances. So pretend 466 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 2: your short term savings aren't there, because you've obviously got 467 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 2: that pre allocated. You then need your emergency fund. Whether 468 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 2: your emergency fund is that at that your parents have 469 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 2: set aside for you or not, it's going to depend 470 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 2: on whether you would be willing to get rid of 471 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 2: those funds if an emergency arose. So, if your parents 472 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 2: have been saving for a really long time, But the 473 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 2: intention of that was maybe to be a house to 474 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 2: bosit sure or something like that. That's not your emergency fund, 475 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 2: my friend. But if you got into, you know, a 476 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 2: little bit of a bingle. No one was hurt, but 477 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 2: you ran into the back of something a little bit 478 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 2: of a prang, would you be happy spending that money 479 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 2: on fixing your cut. If the answer is no, we 480 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 2: need to not look at that as your emergency savings 481 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 2: or your emergency fund. So a long term savings account fantastic, 482 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 2: But what are our long term goals? So before you 483 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 2: said you had just finished my chapter on cashlow, thank you, 484 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 2: you would know that I recommend having at least three 485 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 2: savings accounts or a short term, a long term, and 486 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 2: an emergency. Do that however you wish. I don't think 487 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 2: that there is a right or a wrong, But what 488 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 2: I'm hearing is that amount, especially in the tone that 489 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 2: you said, oh, my parents have been saving it for 490 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 2: a really long time time, I'm going to make the 491 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 2: grand assumption that's probably not your emergency fund because the 492 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 2: intention of those funds was probably not to get you 493 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 2: out of that little bingal that you help with your car. 494 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 2: It's probably for longer term goal setting. It might be 495 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 2: for a fusure, wedding or a holiday or something life changing. 496 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 2: Whereas you might need to work up your emergency fund 497 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 2: and have that segregated out. So have a think about 498 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 2: what the money wants to go towards, because sometimes money 499 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 2: does have emotional attachment, right like your parents save for 500 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 2: a really long time. You might not want to blow 501 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 2: that because you run a red light and have to 502 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 2: do a really expensive spedding fund. 503 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 3: You know, wise words me very well. 504 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 2: It's coming to my tech talk guys.

But 514 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 2: the only thing is we got onto the very fun 515 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 2: topic of finances the other day and I found out 516 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 2: he only has three thousand dollars in savings. I'm not sure, 517 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 2: but is this a red flag to you? We are 518 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 2: both in our mid thirties and I have solid savings 519 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 2: and an investment portfolio.

Do you think I'm overthinking it and 527 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 2: I should stop worrying about it, or do you think 528 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 2: it's a serious word flag and I should really reconsider 529 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 2: this relationship.

Firstly, 575 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,719 Speaker 5: I think three thousand dollars is perfectly fine, but it 576 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 5: also it depends like what does this person do. Do 577 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 5: they earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and 578 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 5: aren't capable of saving anything? Are they unemployed and they 579 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 5: have three thousand dollars? What's anyway? We need a lot, 580 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 5: We need so much more information. 581 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 7: So I guess, like, obviously it depends on if you 582 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 7: have joint financial goals. 583 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 6: That might make it tricky. 584 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 7: If someone's like I actually am probably not going to say, 585 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 7: or I actually don't have the same financial goal as you, 586 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 7: but like, yeah, it's been three months, wait a little longer. 587 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 7: Let's say hypothetically it's been years and they're both trying 588 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 7: to say. 589 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 6: For a house or something. 590 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 3: I don't know. 591 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 7: I mean, like, I guess it makes it tricky, but 592 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 7: it's I wouldn't call it a red flag. 593 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 6: I would be like, you know. 594 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 7: Just maybe if you in a few years time, decide 595 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 7: to have the same financial goal and only one party 596 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 7: is putting in the effort. Then just like I don't know, 597 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 7: put in this amount, the other person puts in their amount. 598 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 7: When you go to buy a house or buy a 599 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 7: car or whatever. And then if you ever sell it, 600 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 7: you get yours back, they get theirs back. You don't 601 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 7: split everything in the middle. You don't have to split 602 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 7: everything in the middle. 603 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 6: You know what I mean. 604 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 2: Doesn't always be equity. 605 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 6: Yes, So I don't know. 606 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 2: I think, don't worry, beg things, just don't worry, story, 607 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 2: just talk. 608 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 3: I think. 609 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 5: I think to summarize me, put a bookmark in that page, 610 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 5: in that part of the chapter, and you revisit that 611 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 5: a little bit further down the line, because I think 612 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 5: it's a bit soon to. 613 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 6: Be yes, you know, highlight it. 614 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 2: I like that you know he has three thousand dollars 615 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 2: in savings, because that, to me is a reflection that 616 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 2: you've had some conversations about money, which is very positive, 617 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,199 Speaker 2: especially at that point in a relationship, like early on, 618 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 2: like you kind of like bury your heads in the sand. 619 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 2: As I said before, when I got with my now husband, 620 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 2: I was in significant personal debt and I hit it 621 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 2: for a really long time. I didn't like lie about it, 622 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 2: but I just didn't tell him, And then when I 623 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 2: did tell him, he was kind of like a red flag. 624 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 3: But weally love. 625 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,679 Speaker 2: So this is a bit deep and like, haha, sucker, 626 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 2: don't do what I did, like do what I say, 627 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 2: not as I do. Like anyway, I just think it's 628 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 2: such a hard situation to be in because you don't 629 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 2: know enough about the money story and where that's come from, Like, 630 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,479 Speaker 2: you know, has he just been a party boy? Like 631 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 2: has he just been living his best life? Did he 632 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 2: just beend thirty dollars the year before going and having 633 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 2: this euro trip of dreams and had saved up for that, 634 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 2: and you know, had gone I'm single, I'm going to 635 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 2: live my best life. And then he's met you the 636 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 2: love of his life, and his priorities are going to shift. 637 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to romanticize it. Nobody needs to have 638 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 2: the same life goals. But I remember I was in 639 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 2: personal debt and I have my head in the sand 640 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 2: until I met my husband, and I was like, oh, 641 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 2: I really need to get my stuff together, Like I 642 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 2: really want to build a life with this person. I 643 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 2: really want to share these financial goals and buy a 644 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 2: house and all of that. But up until that point, 645 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 2: I was kind of like, bere, I just do what 646 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 2: I want. I'm a single lady. I don't even care, 647 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 2: and like, I just think that that's valid. Also, we're 648 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,719 Speaker 2: in the middle of a cost of living crisis. Like 649 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 2: three grand is a lot of money to have in 650 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 2: the bank, and if you look at what the average 651 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 2: Australian can do, the average Australian cannot access five hundred 652 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 2: dollars in an emergency. He's above and beyond that. Get 653 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 2: a king, get it. Like that's so good, that's financial security. 654 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 2: Maybe that's his emergency fund totally. Maybe he's working his 655 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 2: way up in a Korea where he, you know, actually 656 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 2: has been really really poorly paid. I don't know, you 657 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 2: haven't told me. Maybe he's been a med student for 658 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 2: the last seven years and has lived off twenty thousand 659 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 2: dollars a year, and all of a sudden, he's gonna, 660 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,959 Speaker 2: you know, go do his training as an anethetist and 661 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 2: be on half a million dollars a year in the 662 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,719 Speaker 2: next ten years. Totally, Like you don't know that. You 663 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 2: haven't given me that context. So I think it's important 664 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 2: to sit down not necessarily judge how much he has, 665 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 2: but more those money habits, Like is this because you 666 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 2: know he's been on a drug ram page and he 667 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 2: has a co co addiction? You don't know? 668 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 3: But do you know what I mean? 669 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 2: There's so many different things that come into this and 670 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 2: I don't think it's our place to judge, nor do 671 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 2: I think it is your place to judge. But if 672 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 2: you see a future with this person, talking about, well, 673 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 2: what does saving together look like in the future? Probably 674 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 2: not three months in let's be honest, Like to me, 675 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 2: if you were getting a shared account at three months, 676 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 2: I'd be like baybread flats. But just having these conversations, 677 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 2: do you want to plan holidays together? If so, what 678 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 2: does contributing to those holidays together look like? If you 679 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 2: want to you know, let's pretend it's a year down 680 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 2: the track and you're like, oh, we really want to 681 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 2: get married and have a baby and all of this 682 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 2: other stuff. What does that type of contribution look like? 683 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 2: Because they're all different, right, Like, you know, he might 684 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 2: not have had financial goals until he found meaning in 685 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 2: his life, and you might be that meaning. I don't 686 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 2: want to be too dramatic, but like you just don't 687 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 2: know what you don't know because this dude literally had 688 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 2: no financial literacy like I was when I was younger, 689 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 2: got himself into a mountain of debt, just gotten out 690 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 2: of it. And that's the first three grand he's saved. 691 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 2: And he's so ridiculously proud of that because he has 692 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 2: gone from being in massive amounts of consumer debt having 693 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 2: three grand in the bank. Are you now downplaying it 694 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 2: because you're like, Oh. 695 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 3: It's not much? 696 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 2: Is that a red flag? 697 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: No? 698 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 2: Look at what he's done. Sure, does that make sense? 699 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. 700 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 2: I just think it's way too. 701 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 5: Early to wait for our community judge. It's like, we've 702 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 5: got to not spend too long on this. But I 703 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 5: just thought of something that could throw a little bit 704 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 5: of it. And I'm interested in your perspective on this. 705 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 3: A little bit of a devil's advocate here, Okay. 706 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 5: If this is so triggering her and she's peaking this 707 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 5: much this quick, maybe he's not the right one for her, 708 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 5: right and it's. 709 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 3: Not actually about him, it's about her. 710 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 5: Maybe she's really insecure, Like it sounds to me like 711 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 5: she's very frantic and very anxious about this. Stuff. 712 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 3: So actually, also, maybe. 713 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 5: Babe, if you're red flagging at this point, then you 714 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 5: shouldn't try to change him. 715 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, do you know what, It's easier to change 716 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 2: the man than his financial priorities. I'm telling you that 717 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 2: right now, I just switch out the man. Yeah, you'll 718 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 2: be right. That's probably terrible advice, but it's literally easier 719 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 2: to change the man change a man. I see what 720 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 2: you're saying, Like, you can't change somebody, So just maybe. 721 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 3: This person needs like a someone on Shark Tank. Yeah, 722 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 3: whoever those people are. 723 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 2: All right, let's ask the community. Yes, I was surprised 724 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 2: by this. Forty eight percent of you thought that was 725 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 2: a red flag. 726 00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 6: Oh no, all right. 727 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 2: Then asked do you think money matters more in a 728 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 2: relationship the older you are? Eighty two percent of you 729 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 2: said yes. 730 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: Well. 731 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 2: Do you think you need to have similar money values 732 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 2: and goals for a relationship to work? 733 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 3: Yes? 734 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, correct. Eighty eight percent of you said yeah, okay. Well, 735 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 2: we said if this were you, what would you do? 736 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 2: So two percent of you said we'd consider ending in 737 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 2: the relationship. I'm happy with that. Eighty eight percent of 738 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 2: you said I'd talk to them about my concerns. Communication 739 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 2: is friends, and ten percent of you said just stop 740 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 2: overthinking it and go and enjoy your relationship. 741 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 5: I think we're part of the ten percent. 742 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 2: I would talk to them about it. I wouldn't bring up, hey, 743 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 2: I'm concerned that you only have X. I would literally 744 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 2: just be like, hey, how'd you grow up around money? Like, 745 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 2: let's have these money compact. 746 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 3: A psychological deep dip right now. 747 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 2: But my poor husband, I'm always like, so, how do 748 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 2: you feel about that? And he's like, yeah, good, and 749 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 2: I'm like that's not good enough. Excuse what are you 750 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 2: going to say? 751 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: Now? Yeah? 752 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 2: Did you just deep dive in tell you're feeling right now? 753 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 2: Why do you think you were so defensive when you said, yeah, fine, yeah, sure, 754 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 2: fair en not lucky? All right? So then we said 755 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 2: what are your two cents? With love to hear, let 756 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 2: me read out some of the responses I've obviously summarized. 757 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 2: If you and one of you said, the amount isn't 758 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 2: a red flag? The lack of goals is? I get that, 759 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 2: But also, how do you know he doesn't have any goals? 760 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 6: We know that's how do you know? 761 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 2: Because you're wondering whether three thousand dollars is a red flag? 762 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 2: But you haven't asked what that three grand. 763 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 6: Is for, yes, or where it came from, how you 764 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 6: got here? 765 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 2: Someone said, do you know that he doesn't have any 766 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 2: other money or investments somewhere else? Or is there a 767 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 2: genuinely good reason for this amount? 768 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: M M. 769 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 2: Has he potentially gambled in his life? Is something that 770 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 2: someone else has ansked? Definitely speak to him because financialist 771 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 2: security is important in a relationship, and it's clearly important 772 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 2: to you. Someone said, there could be a lot more 773 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 2: going on behind the scenes. You need to ask. Someone 774 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 2: else said, Paul, your head in three grands a lot 775 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 2: of money. I'm like, yeah, that's absolutely correct. Someone else said, 776 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 2: my marriage has ended recently for this reason. Oh, but 777 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 2: it's true. Like communication is key if you're not on 778 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 2: the same page as your partner, Like finances are so 779 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 2: deeply intertwined. Like, if you're not on the same page 780 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 2: financially as your partner, you're just going to feel as 781 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 2: though you're going in completely different directions. If one of 782 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 2: you wants to do this big life goal thing and 783 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 2: the other doesn't, Like, at some point, that's going to 784 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 2: feel like a very big spanner in the works. Yeah, Like, 785 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 2: and it doesn't matter what it is. It might be 786 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 2: a holiday, it might be buying a house, it might 787 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 2: be buying a dog. But these things get in the 788 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 2: way of having a successful relationship. Someone else has said, look, 789 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 2: three grands still shows some ability to save. I think 790 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 2: it's way better than finding out he has debt that 791 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 2: he hasn't told you about. Sure, couldn't agree more. Someone said, 792 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 2: how much money would you have expected him to have? 793 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 2: What would have made you happy? 794 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:55,720 Speaker 6: That's a good question. 795 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,280 Speaker 2: It's a bit of a perfect question that I didn't 796 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 2: even ask. Girl was like, well, what were you expect right, Like, 797 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,320 Speaker 2: what if you saw five grand? Would that be okay? 798 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 2: Were you expecting fifty thousand? We were expecting half a 799 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 2: million dollars? 800 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 5: Like yeah, I love that one about debt too, It's like, 801 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 5: what if he has ten grand, but he's got, like, 802 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,280 Speaker 5: you know, thousands of dollars worth of debt, many thousands 803 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 5: of dollars? 804 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 3: Is that better because it's like totally, he's one. 805 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 2: Hundred percent, one hundred percent. Obviously there were hundreds of 806 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 2: other responses here, but this one I will leave you with. 807 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 2: It was, I think it's really important that you sit 808 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 2: down and talk about your money. Stories. He has a 809 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 2: life that he lived before you, and it might be 810 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,439 Speaker 2: beautiful to share that lovely love that such as she's 811 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 2: I love our community so much because I'm always like, yes, 812 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:41,839 Speaker 2: that's exactly what I would have. 813 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 6: Said, totally.
