In twenty fourteen, my husband and I 30 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: moved into my parents place and started building a second house. 31 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: I got both houses on the market and started renting 32 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 2: them out. The houses were making a profit of almost 33 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: two K every month. When I was twenty nine, I 34 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: discovered my husband of ten years had been cheating. 35 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 3: The full time the whole time, and had. 36 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 2: A girlfriend for the last four years of our relationship. 37 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 2: I lost everything and gained a few STDs.

But the next question is what is 209 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 3: your best money habit? Is there one better than that? 210 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 3: I don't think so. 211 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 4: Well. Luckily, I think you're going to live your life 212 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 4: a little bit, probably more so than what I do sometimes. 213 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 4: But my best money habit would be that every time 214 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 4: I get paid, like straight away, I pay all my rent, 215 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 4: you know anything else that's sort of I need to pay, 216 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 4: I pay up straight away, and then I check my 217 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 4: bank account every day or every second day, just so 218 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 4: I can keep on top of like I did grow throies. 219 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 4: I'm like two hundred and sixty dollars. All right, cool, 220 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 4: where's my bank I know I have debits coming out 221 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 4: from my phone, Okay, I need to have that in there, 222 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 4: and I've got poles and whatever else. I'm just across 223 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 4: the figures in my bank account every day. 224 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: I think that's a really good habit. And obviously, Victoria, 225 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 2: that you're the expert, I think that's a good habit 226 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 2: because I now use your method of using like having 227 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 2: a cash hub and it going through down into different 228 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 2: bank accounts. 229 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 3: Office is a cult, yes, it is. 230 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 2: And so because I know that it's all set up 231 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 2: so well, I actually have kind of fallen into the 232 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: habit of not checking it because I'm like, I don't 233 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,359 Speaker 2: need to. I know it's fine. 234 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 3: And it feels comfortable, right, Yeah. I know that what 235 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 3: is in my food, fuel and fun account is what 236 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 3: I can spend and it's not going to negatively impact me. 237 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 3: Whereas I remember when I was a bit younger, I 238 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 3: used to just have one card and one bank account, 239 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 3: so it's. 240 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 2: One cash pull and you're like, I've got heaps of 241 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 2: cat I can go do groceries and it's two hundred 242 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,839 Speaker 2: and sixty bucks and then like the next day, your 243 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 2: phone bill comes in, you're. 244 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 3: Like, oh, I wish I'd not done that, and it 245 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 3: can be really stressful. So that's why we want more 246 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 3: than one bank account to break those things up and 247 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 3: plan into the future. Because if you're not doing that, 248 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 3: I promise you, you're doing yourself a disservice. Like it's 249 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 3: so so empowering when you're in control. 250 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, all my savings is in my opposite accounts, so 251 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 4: it's really hard for me to a genius. 252 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 3: So she's a genius. 253 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 4: Is that money? 254 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 2: Then I want to know what's your worst money habit. 255 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 4: My worst is probably me spending money and feeling guilty 256 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 4: about it. So that's a really bad habit. And I 257 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 4: get really grumpy and angry if by buy something for 258 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 4: myself or I haven't been well. So you know, I 259 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 4: spent seven hundred and fifty dollars on infusions and doctors 260 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 4: and medications last week, and I shouldn't. 261 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: Be feeling bad about that, feeling grateful that you have 262 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 3: access to being able to afford to do those things 263 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 3: and that you get to put yourself first. 264 00:12:58,920 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 4: Oh my god, exactly. 265 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 3: Well, a good money habit, and it's your good money 266 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 3: habit that has put you in that position. 267 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it just still makes me dirty. 268 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 3: Do you know what? Regardless, I feel like when it's 269 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 3: something that you're like, well, it's not like I just 270 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 3: went and splurged on a new pair of shoes to 271 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 3: treat myself, like I couldn't get out of this infusion. 272 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 3: I had to have it, and you're just a bit 273 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 3: dirty though so expensive. It's like, I get that, but 274 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 3: I definitely wouldn't say it's a bad money habit or go. 275 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 2: I really splurged on my own health the other day, Like. 276 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 3: I splurged and I paid for my antidepressants.

I don't know if it's 415 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 4: a hack, but I still pay my HEX every year, 416 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 4: so it's like pulse savings. 417 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 3: Even though you've paid your HEX. So do you get 418 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 3: an epick return? 419 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. 420 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 3: I know a whole heap of people that still do 421 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 3: that because they're like, I wouldn't save otherwise. 422 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no, So I get a nice pay package 423 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 4: every financial year, and I'm like, see, so that helps me. 424 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 4: And then I went through the academy. I just buried 425 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 4: my head and we saved up enough money. Well, I 426 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 4: thought we did to build a second house at the 427 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 4: back of the house that we had purchased. But I 428 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 4: purposely picked the block that we purchased straight away because 429 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 4: it was a flat block and was able to be subdivided. 430 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 4: So I knew eventually that I wanted to subdivide it 431 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,239 Speaker 4: and put another house out the back, and that's what 432 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 4: we did, and renovated the front house while we're building 433 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 4: out the back. So had that all going. I just 434 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 4: had my head in the sand, and I just sort 435 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 4: of knew. I knew something was happening, but you just 436 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 4: don't want to know at the same time for sure, 437 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 4: And the universe has a real funny way of going. 438 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 4: You know what. You can't run away from this anymore. 439 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 4: And I had a really bad cat and then to 440 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 4: the point where I couldn't walk anymore. So I still 441 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 4: have problems now, but I'm obviously still able to do 442 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 4: my job, so it's just a little bit more painful. 443 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 4: And everything stopped, Everything had to stop. And that's when 444 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 4: I started picking up on, you know, just things. So 445 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 4: I think they was doing but I'd never noticed before, 446 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 4: you know, spending hours on the toilet, the phone always 447 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 4: been flipped down, the screen was always down, just intertinct. 448 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 4: So then I confronted him and I may have done 449 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 4: a download on his old phone that he kept with him. 450 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 3: Get it, girl, what. 451 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 2: A police officer move? 452 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 3: Yeah? 453 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like, you can do is that work, Sully? 454 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 4: There'll be a program that you can do.

Right, 460 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 3: So many people are like, oh, well, you should never 461 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 3: invade their privacy, and I totally agree, but I'd prefer 462 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 3: to be in this situation where I'm just really embarrassed 463 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 3: for having invaded their privacy, to the point where I'm like, 464 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 3: oh my god, Tony, I'm so sorry.

You can stay as our EP. 518 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 4: So then the divorce proceedings started, and obviously when we 519 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 4: figured out when I figured out that he was, I 520 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 4: went straight to the bank and opened up my own 521 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 4: bank account and transferred it was the one, seven hundred 522 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 4: and fifty dollars into my bank account, and I was like, 523 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 4: that's all I have. I was like, oh my god. 524 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 4: When I saw the bank account details, I was like, 525 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 4: that's all I have. Like, after you know, fifteen years 526 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 4: of working. 527 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 2: That's so heartbreaking for you. 528 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 4: It was really heartbreaking. And then I made the decision 529 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 4: to sell the house because I couldn't afford to paint 530 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 4: me out because by this stage it had gone through 531 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 4: a boom and then obviously having a second house and 532 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 4: they're being sub divided. 533 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 3: Yep. 534 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I just couldn't afford it on my wage, so 535 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 4: I had to sell it, which is very, very heartbreaking. 536 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 4: So I got a massive payout from that because the 537 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,239 Speaker 4: homelan was in the two hundreds by that stage, and 538 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 4: obviously we sold it for about eight fifty, so I've 539 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 4: got a massive payout. 540 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 3: Well, like, I'm so glad to hear that, because hearing 541 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 3: that you had been left with nothing after working for 542 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 3: so long, long to know that you weren't left absolutely 543 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 3: high and dry, which happens to so many people. Yeah, 544 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 3: it's a good news story, even though it came from 545 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 3: a place where you're kind of forced into it. 546 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And it was shit and I know 547 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 4: that house is worth to hit them all now, but 548 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 4: you just have to coup it on the chin and 549 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 4: keep going. So I bought a block of land down 550 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 4: Melbourne and built a house and then it just started 551 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 4: from there. So just and I bought a holiday house 552 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 4: down at the South Coast last year because I'm like, 553 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 4: I just need for my health somewhere to reconnect with nature. 554 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 4: And yeah, so now I let that out as a 555 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 4: holiday house because obviously you're working. I can't go down 556 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 4: there all the time. So yeah, that's a bit of 557 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 4: a slide huffle hustle now, so that makes me quite 558 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 4: a bit of income. That made us about seventy thousand. 559 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 3: What what you hold up? Hold up? Hold up? Why 560 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 3: was that not in the first Like you told me 561 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 3: that you earn one hundred and ten thousand dollars and 562 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 3: just forgot that you earned seventy grand in a side hustle? Yeah, 563 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 3: the hold on, hold on, all right? So we you 564 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 3: want to know how much do you purchase that house for? 565 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 3: And are you putting it on AMBNB? Like how are 566 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 3: you doing this? I want to know. 567 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 4: So originally it was on the market for nine ninety 568 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 4: and when COVID hits and everyone's like, the house prices 569 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 4: are never going to recover, and it took that big dip. 570 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,239 Speaker 4: I knew the house prices were going to recover, and 571 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 4: we found this house and we offered six fifty for it, 572 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 4: and we saw that just straight away. 573 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 3: What you are. So they just took it and you 574 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 3: bought it for six fifty when it was worth nine ninety, 575 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 3: like you got a million dollar property for an epic discount. 576 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 4: We renovated it and made it a lot more homely 577 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 4: and yeah, our holiday house friendly, and yeah, it's been 578 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 4: booked out since we put it on the market. So 579 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 4: we have our own website that we often have it 580 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 4: on lights Day and river ride and Airbnb. 581 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, she's the Gata house for that time. 582 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 3: But I feel like that's a side huszle that's rising, 583 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 3: having holiday houses. So now you've bought this house, even 584 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 3: though like six sixty is a lot of money, but 585 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 3: you've bought this house. Does the Airbnb cover the mortgage 586 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:18,959 Speaker 3: or payments and stuff like that for you? So you're 587 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 3: now turning a profit or was that seventy k actually 588 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 3: the profit? 589 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 4: No, So the renovation costs us about forty five fifty thousand. 590 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 4: And I'm quite lucky because I've done renovations before and 591 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 4: built before, and my dad built us and we just 592 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 4: all went down there and knuckled in and did it ourselves. 593 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 4: So that's what was able to save us on the 594 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 4: renovation budget. But three payments about eighteen thousand a year, 595 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 4: and then you know you insurance rates and all that. 596 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 4: So you're probably looking about twenty five thousand, so we've 597 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 4: made quite a be a profit. 598 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, that is so good. And as time goes on, 599 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 3: obviously those costs are going to go down because you're 600 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 3: not going to innovate every single year. 601 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 4: What are we in? 602 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 3: No congrats, I feel like you've bounced back incredibly well 603 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 3: given going through that would have been very traumatic. And 604 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 3: I know we don't have heaps of time left because 605 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 3: Tony keeps looking at me. But I'd really like to 606 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 3: note so this is something that we would never wish 607 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 3: on anybody, but unfortunately is really common for a partner 608 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 3: to not be faithful to you. How could we potentially 609 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 3: have our eyes a little bit wider to make sure 610 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 3: that we don't miss those signs, because, as you said, 611 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 3: you put your head in the sand about it, and 612 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 3: I know a lot of people do, right, And I 613 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 3: think that there's a misconception that the second you find 614 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 3: out your partner has cheated, you need to leave immediately. 615 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 3: But that doesn't work for everybody, and it's not necessarily 616 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 3: the right thing for each relationship. So even saying, oh 617 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 3: my god, I would leave immediately is just not helpful. 618 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 2: Because you're not in this situation you don't know you 619 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 2: and you. 620 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 3: Also don't know how that works, and just saying well, 621 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 3: I would leave immediately, like that's not constructive and pretty 622 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 3: entire really, yeah, exactly. So as someone who has been there, 623 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 3: how can we be more self aware? Like how can 624 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 3: we learn from what you've been through so that hopefully 625 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 3: we aren't in that situation. 626 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 4: The first one I'd say is, don't be too hard 627 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 4: on yourself if you don't notice it, because some of 628 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,239 Speaker 4: them are really good at hiding and being deceiving and 629 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 4: just you know, love bombing you so you'll never see 630 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 4: the signs. Mine was a bit slower and thicker, so 631 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 4: I could see the signs. I just chose to ignore them. 632 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 4: I also believe in gut instinct. As females, we've really 633 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 4: got to listen to our gut instinct. I'm quite spiritual 634 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 4: in that sense, Like I sit down, I meditate every morning, 635 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 4: and I just listen to the signs and what gets 636 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 4: told to me during my meditation. So I absolutely believe 637 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 4: just in your gut, you know what's happening. Yeah, you know, 638 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 4: if something doesn't feel right, it's probably not right. If 639 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 4: you've gained something and it doesn't make sense. It's probably 640 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 4: a lie, you know, and just things like flipping the 641 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 4: phone down, going into the bathroom for aig, it's being 642 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 4: really kag you around their computer and their phone, you know, 643 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 4: the whole gas fighting. I know in that situation you 644 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 4: can be so bitten down that you don't realize you're 645 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 4: being gas fighters. So I really think it's a gut interstinct, 646 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 4: and it was a gut instinct for me, but I 647 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 4: just truce to ignore it. 648 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, but ignoring it obviously didn't serve you. But at 649 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 3: the same time, I think we face the things we 650 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 3: need to face when we need to face them, and 651 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 3: not any earlier. It's kind of like financial literacy, Like 652 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 3: you could have told me all of these things when 653 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 3: I was twenty years older, but you weren't ready to 654 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 3: hear it. I wasn't ready to hear it. I didn't 655 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 3: want to do those things. I didn't want to say 656 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 3: if I didn't want to invest. And that's why I 657 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 3: always say, don't be harsh on past you, because they 658 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 3: were just doing the best that they could with the 659 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 3: tools and resources that they had at the time, whereas 660 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 3: right now you have more. But it doesn't even mean 661 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 3: that you would have used them historically, So I think that, yeah, 662 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 3: you're right, we shouldn't be harsh on ourselves for those things, 663 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 3: and we probably should just be kinder to ourselves in 664 00:31:59,320 --> 00:31:59,959 Speaker 3: every situation. 665 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 4: And I really do believe that the universal step and 666 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 4: go right. You've been ignoring this for too long. We're 667 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 4: gonna make sure you pay attention. 668 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 3: I always find it really interesting because my mum always 669 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 3: tells me like, if you want something, just ask the universe, 670 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 3: and the universe will deliver what exactly what you need. 671 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 3: And I know that that sounds really fluffy, and a 672 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 3: lot of people be like, oh, I don't actually believe 673 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 3: in that, Like you can't manifest things, and I'm like cool. 674 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 3: But also if it's at front of mind for you 675 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 3: and you're articulating these things, they are more likely to happen. 676 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 3: So whether you believe in it or not, just actually 677 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 3: looking for signs and finding affirmation in the things that 678 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 3: are in your world can actually help guide you to 679 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 3: the right decision, whether you believe in quote the universe. 680 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 4: Or not or not. Yeah. 681 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, So I just think that that's a really powerful 682 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 3: thing as well, and just trusting your gut. I feel 683 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 3: like I've learned a lot about that and pray that 684 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 3: I'm never in a situation like that. But yeah, the 685 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 3: idea that someone managed to hide an entire girlfriend for 686 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 3: four years, that's wild, terrifying. 687 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, you can definitely bounce back some stuff like this, 688 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 4: and I really do believe that lessons are to be 689 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 4: learned from it. As hard as they are, you definitely 690 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 4: come out there on the other side. 691 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 3: Oh my god. 692 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 2: I just feel so proud of everything you've been through 693 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 2: and like how you've come through and. 694 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 3: Your attitude and just the fact that you're like, no, 695 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 3: like the universe was trying to tell me something and 696 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 3: I wasn't listening, and you've kind of taken it in 697 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 3: your stride. You're really cool. We're our best friends, right. 698 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 4: If you knew how nerdy I was. 699 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,719 Speaker 3: I'm sorry what you're talking to a financial advisor?
