Now, Now, Jess, she's like, oh, yeah, 325 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 4: actually I used to work in super anyway. 326 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 6: Financial advisor. No, I was scared I would be too 327 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 6: qualified for this position. Oh I didn't mention it, but no, 328 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 6: I used to work in super and I kind of realized, 329 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 6: I don't know if everyone else has this as well, 330 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 6: but i'd like seven different super accounts a really common 331 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 6: really and so like I really didn't know who to 332 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 6: go for. But yeah, I just googled it and it 333 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 6: was like, you know, you know, you get the I 334 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 6: don't know what's it can Star or something. Yeah, yeah, 335 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 6: I just like went to the number one. I didn't 336 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 6: even check anything. I just thought, that's the number one 337 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 6: super company. I'm going to go with that one. 338 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 5: And so that essays don't do that. 339 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 4: That is actually exactly what we're not going to do. 340 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 4: So we're not going to do that. And I'll give 341 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 4: you a reason why because I think in your situation, 342 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 4: and that makes so much sense, right because cancer that's reputable. 343 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 5: Right. 344 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 4: They give other companies like awards and stuff for being 345 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 4: the best super company, and I would think that that's 346 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 4: really good. The thing you want to be aware of 347 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 4: and I'm not saying that can Star is bad. Finder 348 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 4: is the same, though. The thing that I would want 349 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 4: you to know about that is they are actually basically 350 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 4: an advertising company. So obviously they do lots of other things, 351 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 4: but superannuation companies pay them to appear on the tops 352 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 4: of their charts or be in their articles or yeah exactly. 353 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 4: So from my perspective, yeah, there might be a fine 354 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 4: super company because legitimate super companies they do advertise to 355 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 4: get more clients like you, Beck. But what you probably 356 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 4: didn't realize is that that quote best super company came 357 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 4: up because they were very likely paying for that ad space, 358 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 4: and that's what got you. That doesn't necessarily mean that 359 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 4: you're in the best position. So I would also go 360 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 4: back to what Jess said and use the Google. But 361 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 4: what I would be using when it comes to the 362 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 4: Google is I would google ATO your super comparison And 363 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,359 Speaker 4: the reason I would google that is because the ATO 364 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 4: last year, the start of twenty twenty two, released your 365 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 4: super Comparison tool, and that takes all of the work 366 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 4: out of it in terms of is this advertised, is 367 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 4: this a paid partnership? You know? All of that stuff 368 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 4: is really hard to see through. This is actually a 369 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 4: government run website that is going to just enable you 370 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 4: to compare apples with apples. When you compare on a 371 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 4: platform like Cansterer or Finder, you're not usually comparing apples 372 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 4: with apples. You're comparing the features and benefits that company 373 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 4: wants to showcase with the features and benefits of a 374 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 4: maybe less superior company. That you go, ah, well, you're right, 375 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 4: that one is much better, and you feel good about 376 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 4: your decision. But it's actually just advertising. So the ATO 377 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 4: website has it. It is free. And the thing I 378 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 4: would do before that, though, is because you mentioned, oh, 379 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 4: I'm in a retail super fund, that doesn't necessarily mean 380 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 4: that that retail super fund is bad like you might 381 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 4: be with like host plus or rest or something like that, 382 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 4: and they are legitimate super companies. The first thing I 383 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 4: would actually do is log into my mygove portal and 384 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 4: actually have a look at what super funds I have, because, 385 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 4: just like you, Beck, you might have seven accounts that 386 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 4: you didn't know about. Because if you jump around from 387 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 4: casual employment to casual employment, especially when you're a bit younger, 388 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 4: often you starting a super fund. Yeah, tick the box, 389 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 4: you know what I can't One time I ended up 390 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 4: with a new superfund because I literally couldn't be bothered 391 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 4: going and finding my old super fund. 392 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 5: The information yeah right, I could does matter. 393 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. I don't have any money like that 394 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 4: was the mentality that I had. And that's not okay, 395 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 4: we don't do that. That is not BB scrapping it. 396 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 4: That is not what Jess would do these days. So 397 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 4: we are going to compare it. If you have a 398 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 4: number of super funds, I would be having a look 399 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 4: at all of them, making sure that there aren't any 400 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 4: important insurances in them, because if you are leaving a 401 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 4: superannuation fund that has default insurances, that can actually be 402 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 4: a negative thing. And it's a negative thing because sometimes 403 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 4: our default insurances are actually really powerful. I'm going to 404 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 4: use Jess as an example here because Jess, you are 405 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 4: very active, way more active than I would ever be. 406 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 4: You play frisbee, right, So say you've got a default 407 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 4: insurance inside superannuation, but you did your ACL playing fuz 408 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 4: be really common. 409 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 5: Actually yeah that like I know like six different people 410 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 5: who have done it. 411 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 4: Oh ill, But say you did your ACL like one 412 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 4: of your friends, and you went to another insurer and 413 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 4: you were like, okay, cool, like, Hey, brand new super fund, 414 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 4: I need some insurance. I now need to apply because 415 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 4: default insurance isn't that common these days, but it was 416 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 4: ten years ago when you got that super fund. I 417 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 4: want to apply and they go, no worries, Jess, what 418 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 4: previous health conditions If you had and you're like, oh, 419 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 4: I'm really healthy. I just did an ACL one time, 420 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 4: They're like, okay, cool, no worries, Jess, We're just not 421 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 4: going to cover you for your ACL. So that means 422 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 4: that if ever you have to take time off work 423 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 4: or go through an incident, if it's ever related to 424 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 4: your ACL, they will not give you an insurance payout. 425 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 4: And that can actually be really negative. And that's why 426 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 4: default insurance could be really good, especially in the example 427 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 4: of Jess, where you might go, oh, I've done my ACL. 428 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 4: Maybe I'll have a look at the other insurances see 429 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 4: if I can change without any you know, negative impact. 430 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 4: But if I can't, maybe I keep that insurance to 431 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 4: make sure. You know, if I do the other ACL, 432 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 4: or I do something that's related to that part of 433 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 4: my body, I'm not upshit Creek without a battle. Does 434 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 4: that make sense? Yeah, So you need to take that 435 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 4: into consideration. And the next thing I do is I 436 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 4: actually step back and go what are my values? What 437 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,479 Speaker 4: are my thoughts? What do I actually want to achieve? 438 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 3: Here? 439 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 4: Like superannuation these days is so customizable, Like you could 440 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 4: go and investing a superfund that only has crude oil. 441 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 4: Not that sexy if you're in cheese on the money 442 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 4: because you probably have similar aligned values to us. But 443 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 4: have a think about what type of asset classes? Do 444 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 4: you want an ethical fund that's completely possible, do you 445 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 4: want you know, really well diversified asset classes. Do you 446 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 4: want access to bonds? Do you actually want to have 447 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 4: more say or do you just want a really good 448 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 4: cookie cut of fund that's going to work for you 449 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 4: in this moment for your risk profile and your age 450 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 4: and what you earn. So you really need to think 451 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 4: about that. And then that's when I go to your 452 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 4: super comparison tool and start looking, well, where are your 453 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 4: funds that you're already in performing, because maybe it's a 454 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 4: good fund for you, but the thing you need to 455 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 4: change is your risk profile on that fund. So maybe 456 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 4: instead of being imbalanced, you've done your risk profile and 457 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 4: you're actually a high growth investor, so you might stay 458 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 4: with that fund, but just change your profile, in which 459 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 4: case that's a good outcome too, and you've reviewed your 460 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 4: super properly, or you might go, oh, that fund is 461 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 4: not good. In fact, I've been ignoring those letters that 462 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 4: they're fincening me saying they're closing because they're that bad 463 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 4: and you need to find a new one, in which 464 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 4: case we're not just finding a new super fund, we're 465 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 4: also looking at our risk profile and going if I'm 466 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 4: moving to, for example, Australian super which one of their 467 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 4: seven risk profiles am I going to fall into? You 468 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 4: need to actually spend the time looking at that because 469 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 4: they all perform differently. A balanced super fund is going 470 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 4: to have a very different performance to a conservative super 471 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 4: fund and a high growth super fund. So there's a 472 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 4: lot to take into consideration. Just because you were in 473 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 4: a retail fund doesn't mean you shouldn't stay there. But 474 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 4: what we're going to do is our research, and if 475 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 4: we're going to do our research, we're not going to 476 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 4: be swayed by advertising. Does that wrap it up, Jess? 477 00:20:58,480 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 5: I think so. I think I know what Beck's going 478 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 5: to do tonight. 479 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, from her face, that's not what she's going to do. 480 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 2: Tonight, I'm going to have been seven super funds. 481 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I really want to get into the spicy stuff 482 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 5: because we said we're making the episode even more community 483 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 5: centric this year, which I am pumped for, and that 484 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 5: means we want to kind of bring some of the 485 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 5: conversations that we're having in our dms to life on 486 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 5: the pod for people to kind of weigh in because 487 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 5: they need more better, right, No, more. 488 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 4: Opinions is more better? 489 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 5: Yeah? 490 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 4: Vote just GRICI twenty twenty three. 491 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 5: Put that on a mug and drink out of it. 492 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 5: But this week we have a really interesting dilemma. Do 493 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 5: you want me to read it out so everyone we're 494 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 5: talking about. 495 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 4: Course, we obviously screenshot it and put it on our 496 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 4: stories obviously deidentified, so we could get your opinions as well. 497 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 4: But Beck, you haven't heard this yet, So jess what 498 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 4: have we got? 499 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,719 Speaker 5: All right? Our community member says, HEYV I have a 500 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 5: little bit of a sticky situation. My partner and I 501 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 5: have a joint account and share majority of our finances. Lately, 502 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 5: I've started to feel a bit guilty because my boyfriend's 503 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 5: and something to me about not having any other savings 504 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 5: outside of our joint savings. Of course I have an 505 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 5: emergency fund, and while I haven't necessarily been hiding it, 506 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 5: I also haven't been forthcoming and mentioned it to him. 507 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 5: I have just under fifteen K in my personal emergency fund. 508 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 5: Do you think I should be sharing this with him? 509 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 5: Or should I be keeping it for a rainy day? Advice? 510 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 5: Appreciate it? 511 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 4: What do you reckon she means when she says sharing 512 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 4: it with him? Does she mean like sharing the money 513 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 4: or sharing the fact she has it? 514 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 5: I think reading that, I'm reading it as she hasn't 515 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 5: told him that she has that money stashed away, so 516 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 5: he doesn't know it exists. That's how I'm interpreting the 517 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 5: message anyway. 518 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 4: So it's a tricky, oh splicy, But also I think 519 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 4: that's great. Like I mean, if she's feeling like it's 520 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 4: a little bit deceptive, I think maybe just in PARSI 521 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 4: being like, oh, yeah, like I do have an emergency fund, 522 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 4: and then maybe suggesting that he gets one as well, 523 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 4: because it's really important to have individual financial freedom, regardless 524 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 4: of whether you have shared finances. Maybe that's how I 525 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 4: deal with it. If an emergency fund is so ingrained 526 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 4: in the way that you've been doing budget and cash flow. 527 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 4: Then you know, maybe it just didn't come up because 528 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 4: it actually wasn't a joint asset. It wasn't a part 529 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 4: of the joint decision making. Like you know, if you're 530 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 4: saving for a house, like you're not going to use 531 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 4: your emergency fund to go towards the house. So maybe 532 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 4: it's not a valid conversation to have, and that's why 533 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 4: it diing come up. I don't think she's being sneaky. 534 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 2: No, No, I don't know. 535 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 6: I think if she has any reservations, if she's a 536 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 6: little bit stressed, or she wants that there for whatever 537 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 6: reason she feels like just in case it goes bad 538 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 6: or whatever, and she kind of wants to keep it 539 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 6: a secret. 540 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 2: Keep it a secret. I don't think that's sneaky at all. 541 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 4: I don't think that's bad. 542 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 2: I don't think that's bad. 543 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 4: If you had fifteen grand in a savings account that 544 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 4: was like away for a rainy day, would you tell 545 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 4: a future partner about it? 546 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,719 Speaker 6: If I had fifteen k saved and a long term partner, 547 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 6: I wouldn't feel obliged to tell them because I don't 548 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 6: think it's absolutely necessary essential to tell your partner because 549 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 6: it is it really is your money. We can keep 550 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 6: things separate, you know what I mean. I don't think 551 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 6: that she needs to say anything. I don't think it's sneaky. 552 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 6: I think it's actually very clever and it's very safe, 553 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 6: and I'll probably keep it that way to be honest, 554 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 6: just in case you just don't know. 555 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, you never know what's going to happen. Jess, what 556 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 4: would you do? 557 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 5: I think, like, I'm very pro sharing that you have it. 558 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 5: I'm also very pro keeping it entirely individual. As you said, 559 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 5: I think everybody should have access to money that only 560 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 5: they can touch, and I think she should keep it 561 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 5: that way. I guess to kind of play Devil's advocate. 562 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 5: If you're in a partnership and you are planning your finances, 563 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 5: and she said that she's sharing a lot of finances 564 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 5: with her partner, I guess when you're doing, say your 565 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 5: budget for the art, if you're saving for a house. 566 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 5: If we're using that example, you would kind of be going, okay, well, 567 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 5: where are you contributing your money? In my mind, to 568 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 5: be able to set that up properly, you kind of 569 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 5: have to go okay, well, I ESSM trying to put 570 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 5: fifteen thousand in an emergency fund. My partner, you've already 571 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 5: got fifteen thousand, so you don't need to be allocating 572 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 5: any more money there. You potentially can be contributing more 573 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 5: to the house fund. Yes, I feel like knowing what's 574 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 5: going on with each other enables you to get a 575 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 5: better picture of how you can best reach your shared goals, 576 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 5: because they do have those. As I said, I don't 577 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 5: think he should have access to it by any structure 578 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 5: of the imagination. But I also think that if this 579 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 5: is your long term partner, I would be questioning, why 580 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,479 Speaker 5: don't you want to share that with him? Is it 581 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 5: because you don't trust him or her? Is it because 582 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 5: you're feeling anxious because of something that you've seen that's 583 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 5: a part of your money story. Is that something you 584 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 5: need to work through? Because I don't think fundamentally there 585 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 5: is anything wrong with telling them that that's there. Are 586 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,959 Speaker 5: you worried that they're going to feel entitled to that money? 587 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 5: If so, is that a bit of a red flag? 588 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 5: I do we need to be. 589 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: So? 590 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 5: I think it's a bit bigger than should you should 591 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 5: you not tell them? It's why do you feel like 592 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 5: you should or shouldn't tell them? 593 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good point. 594 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 4: We put it out to our community earlier this week 595 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 4: to say, well, what would you guys say, and we 596 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 4: did actually have a few people say red flag. I 597 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 4: think that that's definitely a red flag. But I also 598 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 4: wasn't sure if it's a red flag that you're hiding 599 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 4: it or it's a red flag, do you know what 600 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 4: I mean? I think, in my circumstance, you should probably 601 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 4: be encouraging your partner to actually get one. And Jess, 602 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 4: your example before was really good where you're like, oh, well, 603 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 4: if they already have their emergency fund, maybe they contribute 604 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 4: in a different way. But should they have dipped into 605 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 4: their emergency fund for something, then maybe the budget changes 606 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 4: a bit for them to top that back up until 607 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 4: we're back on track. But I do think your partner, 608 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 4: actually the conversation's probably more around like, oh, hey, well 609 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 4: I have an emergency fund, and I actually assumed you 610 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 4: had one, and you probably should be working towards it. Jess, 611 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,959 Speaker 4: what was some call outs that you saw the community have. 612 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 5: I liked what one person said, which was, my emergency 613 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 5: fund isn't hidden, but my partner knows that he has 614 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 5: no claim to it, and that that money is solely 615 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 5: for my discretion, which I think shows that they've said 616 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 5: really clear boundaries. You know, they've gone, yes I have it, 617 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 5: Yes you can know about it, but that's not for you. 618 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 5: That's mine. And so you need to have your own 619 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 5: emergency fund for your own emergencies. 620 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. Someone else said I don't think it's 621 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 4: healthy in a healthy relationship to have separate money, and 622 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 4: I think that that's a hot take. 623 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is strong hot take. 624 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 4: And as somebody who I think I'm in a healthy relationship, 625 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 4: just I think you're in a healthy relationship. Both of 626 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 4: us have our own emergency funds that our partners can't touch, 627 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 4: and I feel like that actually keeps it healthy. And yes, 628 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 4: you know, looking at this circumstance, you know you might 629 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 4: be a little bit apprehensive to tell your partner, but 630 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 4: like should he not be supportive of you being financially free, 631 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 4: Like should you not be like supporting each other in that, 632 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 4: Like shouldn't you be wanting your partner to also have that. 633 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 4: Steve knows about my emergency fund. He knows it exists 634 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 4: because we've talked about it before. But you know what, 635 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 4: now thinking about it, I don't think he knows how 636 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 4: much is in it. Yeah, he just knows I've got 637 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 4: it because I've always had it, well not always, but 638 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 4: I've always had it in the relationship that we've been in. 639 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 4: So he's kind of like, Yep, she has that, And 640 00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:59,719 Speaker 4: do you know what. I couldn't tell you what's in 641 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 4: his but I know he's got a fund that I 642 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 4: can't touch. 643 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 5: And does that give you a bit of comfort knowing that? 644 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 4: I think it's important. 645 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel it is. 646 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 6: You need to know that if anything happens in the 647 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 6: relationship that both of you, yeah, are going to be okay. 648 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, not just you, not just them. 649 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 5: Interestingly, someone else said not everything needs to be shared 650 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 5: when it comes to money, and I was like, oh, 651 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 5: that's another hot take. 652 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 4: That's a good point. And I mean, you know, I 653 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 4: always use my relationship as an example because I don't 654 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 4: want to say that there's a right and wrong thing. 655 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 4: It's just how Steve and I've fallen out to do it. 656 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 4: We do share our finances, I say, we share everything, 657 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 4: but also it's really controlled, so like we don't just 658 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 4: have our pay automatically put into the one account. So 659 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 4: you know, if she'd hit the fan, we wouldn't be okay. 660 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 4: Like every single month he goes in and transfers his 661 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 4: pay to the shared account, So if something happened, he 662 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 4: could just stop doing that and it wouldn't go into 663 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 4: our shared Does that make sense? Like yeah, and vice versa. 664 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 4: Like I obviously am my own business owner, and I 665 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 4: don't have a PAYG salary, but like I pay myself 666 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 4: and I transfer the money into the account on a 667 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 4: monthly basis, so that we have joint funds. I think 668 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 4: at any point both of us have our own control 669 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 4: over our incomes and where that might be going. So 670 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 4: if something happened, that would be okay. Just in your relationship, 671 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 4: you have shared money, but you definitely do it differently 672 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 4: to me. 673 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, we don't actually have a joint account. It's something 674 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 5: that I have been saying for eightes. Oh, we need 675 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 5: to set one up just for like groceries and stuff. 676 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 5: We just haven't gotten around to it. Like we split 677 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 5: most of our shared expenses fifty to fifty and annoyingly 678 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 5: right now, like I'll just be like, you owe me 679 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 5: two hundred dollars for transferred us So definitely not the best. 680 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 5: It would just be easier to have an account exactly right. 681 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 5: But yeah, I think that like for us, that's what works, 682 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 5: and it is such a personal thing, like if you 683 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 5: want to keep it totally separate, keep it totally separate, 684 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 5: but it Yeah, I think it's a bigger question about 685 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 5: where do you see the relationship going. How comfortable are 686 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 5: you talking? And if you're not company talking, maybe that's 687 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 5: a conversation to be had. So this one says you 688 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 5: don't have to tell him how much is there? Maybe 689 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 5: just tell him you how of emergency cash money? I 690 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 5: feel like that's a happy medium, right, That is a 691 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 5: happy medium. 692 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 4: I really like that. 693 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I like. 694 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 4: That, But I also think it plays into like how 695 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 4: your partner responds, Like not everything should be a test, 696 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 4: but I do think it would be interesting to see 697 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 4: how your partner responds to finding out that you have 698 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 4: an emergency fund and going, oh, yeah, like I've got 699 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 4: some cash stashed away for a rainy day if anything 700 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 4: should happen. I think you need to have it. I 701 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 4: think it would be supportive if they turn around and said, 702 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 4: oh great, no worries, like that's fine, but like a 703 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 4: massive red flag if they're like, how much, why isn't 704 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 4: it in our savings? What's going on, How does that work? 705 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 2: Why do you need it? 706 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 4: Why do you need that? Why do you think that, 707 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 4: you know, why do you think you need a rainy 708 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 4: day fund? Like, I think that could be a really 709 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 4: big friend flag. 710 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 2: That's a good way. 711 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 4: Not a test. It's not a test. 712 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 6: That's a good way to gauge, it's a gage. 713 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 4: I imagine if that happened in your relationship, where you 714 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 4: partner found out you had an emergency fund and they're like, 715 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 4: why why do you need that? You're like, this is why, 716 00:30:54,920 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 4: exactly why? Oh my gosh. I feel like these answers 717 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 4: having pretty spicy, a lot of people saying, you know, 718 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 4: there's nothing wrong with having it, let's just be open 719 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 4: and honest, all the way through to people being like 720 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 4: red flag, red flag, and then people saying, no, keep 721 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 4: it hidden, don't tell your partner. I don't know. I 722 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 4: think it's just whatever you feel comfortable with. But I 723 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,719 Speaker 4: think the general consensus at this table while recording is 724 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 4: it is important to have access to your own funds, 725 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 4: regardless of whether you save money or not. Could we 726 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 4: say that that's the summary of this conversation Jess and Beck, Yes, 727 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 4: I believe. 728 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 5: So that was so fun. I really enjoyed hearing everybody's 729 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 5: hot takes. Keep an eye out on our Instagram if 730 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 5: you don't follow us, We're at Cheese on the Money 731 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 5: a US because we're going to be doing more of these. 732 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 5: I feel like it's really fun to bring these daties 733 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 5: to lie, but. 734 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 4: I also want to know the community's opinion on what's 735 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 4: going on and how it works. I mean, it's a 736 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 4: judgment free zone. Everybody is going to manage money in 737 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 4: a different way. But it's so interesting to go like, oh, Jess, 738 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 4: like you don't even have your bank account set up yet, 739 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 4: and I'm just assuming it's because you've been lazy. Yeah, yeah, correct, 740 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 4: all the way through to like, oh, we actually share 741 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 4: absolutely everything because we've had this question before on the 742 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 4: pod where people are like, oh, like having listened to 743 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 4: the pod and only just starting my financial literacy journey 744 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 4: and I've been married for twenty years, Like how do 745 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 4: I tell my partner I want an emergency fund because 746 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 4: they could take it the wrong way. I think seeing 747 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 4: from the community what your thoughts and feelings are is 748 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 4: going to help validate a lot. But also, who doesn't 749 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 4: love a perview question about somebody else's relationship. 750 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:20,239 Speaker 2: God, I love it. 751 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 4: I love it so good. 752 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 5: Great first episode, Beck, thank. 753 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 4: You, that was so much fun. 754 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 2: Yeah that we love it. 755 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 5: But I reckon, it's about time we get out all 756 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 5: out of here ladies. 757 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 4: Is it time for a little bit of rage? 758 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 2: Oh god, it's about time. 759 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 5: T G I F M A right, you know what? 760 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, no no no.
