- 1:47Speaker 3: How are you?
- 1:48Speaker 2: I am great? Have you got a good review to
- 1:50Speaker 2: share with the team? I do?
- 1:52Speaker 4: This one comes from Emilee. I just love how easy Victoria,
- 1:55Speaker 4: Jess and the team make money to understand. They make
- 1:57Speaker 4: it really relatable and break down those gender and societal
- 2:00Speaker 4: norms where only the men get to know this stuff.
- 2:05Speaker 2: And then you realize it's like really easy, and of
- 2:07Speaker 2: course you can do it because like the boys can
- 2:08Speaker 2: do it totally.
- 2:10Speaker 3: Boys can do a week and do it exactly.
- 2:12Speaker 2: It can't be that hard. It can't be that hard.
- 2:14Speaker 5: I've got one this week from Rookie who said, I'm
- 2:16Speaker 5: gonna say it, Victoria divine is truly divine.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Oh I see we did that, Thank you, Thank you.
- 2:22Speaker 2: This podcast is will take it. My dad says that that's.
- 2:25Speaker 3: A bit cute.
- 2:27Speaker 5: Podcast has been such a helpful tool in reaching a
- 2:29Speaker 5: member of your community who has had very limited access
- 2:32Speaker 5: to financial knowledge given my field of work. Thank you
- 2:35Speaker 5: so much for sharing your knowledge, tips and insights. The
- 2:38Speaker 5: skill of turning the dull and dry topic that is
- 2:40Speaker 5: financial literacy into a fun learning opportunity must be applauded.
- 2:44Speaker 5: Have been enjoying the banter from the co host Also
- 2:46Speaker 5: keep up the great work.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Is that right? Thank you? Thank you is a fantastic groups.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Thank you nice. I also have another fantastic one. This
- 2:54Speaker 2: one's from Lizzie and she says, longtime listener of the show,
- 2:57Speaker 2: and I've been really enjoying the new vibe since Beck
- 3:00Speaker 2: started last year. Isn't that so cute? It feels like
- 3:05Speaker 2: the show has found its stride again with the three
- 3:07Speaker 2: co hosts, and I am so enjoying your updated format.
- 3:11Speaker 2: I really like hearing Beck's perspective. She and Victoria have
- 3:14Speaker 2: great energy together, which reminds me of Georgia King. So
- 3:18Speaker 2: if you hadn't been around, Georgia used to be on
- 3:21Speaker 2: the show, but then she moved to London. Yes, Beck
- 3:24Speaker 2: got the gig.
- 3:25Speaker 4: Oh my god, I actually my stomach is like doing first.
- 3:29Speaker 2: That's so cute and yeah, this is all about you.
- 3:31Speaker 2: I keep picking ones that are just like I'm going
- 3:35Speaker 2: to die, and I really like how Beck represents the
- 3:39Speaker 2: everyday person who might not have as much financial knowledge.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Really enjoying the vibe of Friday episodes and hearing the
- 3:45Speaker 2: three she's on the money ladies, keep up the great work,
- 3:48Speaker 2: and please do some more content on weddings and bridesmaids
- 3:51Speaker 2: and travel.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Okay, so much?
- 3:54Speaker 2: Isn't that cute?
- 3:55Speaker 3: It's really sweet? I love it. I love it.
- 3:58Speaker 2: But let's get back into the show. Enough ego stroking.
- 4:03Speaker 2: If you would like to leave a review, obviously you
- 4:06Speaker 2: can do that on Apple, So Apple allows you to
- 4:09Speaker 2: type and you could even ask us questions in the review,
- 4:12Speaker 2: which I might. Let's slip through to the keeper, you know, like,
- 4:15Speaker 2: if you've come this far, you're doing us a solid.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Will do you a solid? But onto the community, Jess,
- 4:21Speaker 2: what's happened in our Money Wins and Confessions thread this week? Already?
- 4:25Speaker 4: Firstly this week we've got one Frihannon that started as
- 4:28Speaker 4: a loss, but it turned into a win. She said
- 4:30Speaker 4: she had to get a tire replaced on her car.
- 4:32Speaker 4: She didn't check when she left it with the mechanic,
- 4:34Speaker 4: and when she came back the next day, they changed
- 4:37Speaker 4: the wrong tire, So she took her back the day
- 4:39Speaker 4: afterwards and they changed. They do that that actually did
- 4:43Speaker 4: to be changed, so she did it with two year
- 4:44Speaker 4: free tires for the press.
- 4:46Speaker 3: That's amazing.
- 4:46Speaker 2: How did they change the wrong tire? I know. It's
- 4:49Speaker 2: like when they hear and this is maybe wad to
- 4:55Speaker 2: have my foot amputated, and then you come out You're like,
- 4:57Speaker 2: that is the wrong foot? Fu, how do they get
- 5:02Speaker 2: that wrong?
- 5:03Speaker 3: He's so bad.
- 5:05Speaker 5: My partner's a physio and he says whenever someone comes
- 5:07Speaker 5: in for like something that's one like one leg, one shoulder, whatever,
- 5:10Speaker 5: he always has them like point at the one just
- 5:13Speaker 5: in case, because he doesn't want to like, yeah, go
- 5:15Speaker 5: for the.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Wrong thing, hold on backtrack. If they only have one foot,
- 5:18Speaker 2: he makes them point at their one.
- 5:20Speaker 5: Probably not in that case. I would imagine there might
- 5:23Speaker 5: be some flexibily there. Next, I've got a money win
- 5:27Speaker 5: from Sammy who said money win. I shopped stasher Bags
- 5:30Speaker 5: Black Friday sale and bought a twelve pack of bags
- 5:33Speaker 5: that seemed like a suspiciously good deal. Turns out the
- 5:36Speaker 5: website had an error and they had accidentally listed the
- 5:39Speaker 5: pack of twelve for the price of one. They have
- 5:41Speaker 5: since offered to ship out the additional eleven bags for
- 5:44Speaker 5: free to honor the purchase as they shoot a point,
- 5:47Speaker 5: get eleven free.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Also, like Stasher bags are really expensive, so that definitely
- 5:53Speaker 2: was an error.
- 5:54Speaker 3: Like that's a good win.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Next, I've got a money win from Alicia, who said
- 5:59Speaker 2: she opened up her.
- 6:00Speaker 5: Shares his account. She obviously owned the SotM code. She
- 6:03Speaker 5: invested in some shares and she got a divid end.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Of twenty cents. Incredible for all little things. Big things grow.
- 6:09Speaker 2: That's not even going to get your Maca's cone yet,
- 6:12Speaker 2: but it will will She's going to grow.
- 6:16Speaker 3: We love that. Incredible.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Next one from Melinda who said she just did the
- 6:20Speaker 2: New South waleses toll relief rebate online and she got
- 6:23Speaker 2: herself a very tidy three hundred and eighty dollars back.
- 6:28Speaker 3: So like free money.

- 9:12Speaker 5: Lastly, this week, I've got one from Anna who said
- 9:14Speaker 5: a money lost, but a happiness win. She went to
- 9:16Speaker 5: the Wiggles show with her two toddlers and spent eighty
- 9:18Speaker 5: dollars two bubble ones, so overprized.
- 9:24Speaker 3: And it kept them entertainer.
- 9:25Speaker 2: Wiggles, We've got to talk, no wonder you guys are
- 9:28Speaker 2: all rich.
- 9:29Speaker 3: Literally.
- 9:30Speaker 5: May I suggest someone has said this in the group before,
- 9:32Speaker 5: But if you're going to a kid's show, a Bluey
- 9:35Speaker 5: a Disney on eye said, pre buy your toys Kmart,
- 9:39Speaker 5: hide them in your back hack and just bring them
- 9:42Speaker 5: out when you get there.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Kids, get the toys. It's a lot cheaper the bubbles.
- 9:46Speaker 5: Dollars for bubble ones is certifiedly that's criminal, that's highway robbery.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Like I actually can't.
- 9:53Speaker 5: I mean they're a bit of plastic ones probably dollars
- 9:57Speaker 5: quarters for two.
- 9:58Speaker 4: Still yeah, I know, but still it's like I just
- 10:01Speaker 4: can't imagine.
- 10:03Speaker 3: Do the pre shop, That's all I'm saying.
- 10:04Speaker 2: I do the pre shop absolutely when parents go to Disney,
- 10:08Speaker 2: and that's obviously very like niche because it's American, But
- 10:11Speaker 2: like I would be stuffing my bag for like they're
- 10:14Speaker 2: not getting anything at Disney, Like no, absolutely not. Everything
- 10:17Speaker 2: is so expensive. Wow, I got a Mickey cookie cut
- 10:19Speaker 2: up Mickey sandwiches. Like it's just it's not happening.
- 10:21Speaker 5: You can pray buy like so many of the licensed
- 10:24Speaker 5: things now, like Camar on Target.
- 10:26Speaker 2: Yeah. And one of the tips that I got when
- 10:29Speaker 2: like someone messaged me while we're in the US, they said,
- 10:32Speaker 2: go to the op shops near Disneyland if you're ever traveling,
- 10:36Speaker 2: because a lot of the merch ends up there, so
- 10:38Speaker 2: you can buy like the popcorn buckets, or you could
- 10:40Speaker 2: buy like the bubble wands or whatever for super cheap
- 10:43Speaker 2: and then you can take them to the parks exactly.
- 10:47Speaker 2: So always check op shops for merch.
- 10:50Speaker 3: That's a great idea.
- 10:52Speaker 2: Not bad, not bad. What are your broke tips this
- 10:54Speaker 2: week there.
- 10:55Speaker 4: Okay, just really quickly, I want to say, with the
- 10:58Speaker 4: person who told us about her car tires, if anyone
- 11:02Speaker 4: wants me to put a video up of how to
- 11:04Speaker 4: change your own that I do the money I do, would.
- 11:08Speaker 3: Would would show you.
- 11:09Speaker 2: I'm actually gonna make it gold and cheese on the
- 11:11Speaker 2: money if you're willing to be a actor, a paid
- 11:15Speaker 2: unpaid actor. Yes, yeah, that would be really good content. Okay,
- 11:19Speaker 2: great other day, did you see the other day, I
- 11:21Speaker 2: was like, oh, I can change my own wiper blades.
- 11:24Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, I buy them from wiper Tech.
- 11:27Speaker 2: My dad told me to, like, you don't question my
- 11:30Speaker 2: dad when it comes to cast stuff. So I ordered
- 11:32Speaker 2: them and then I just changed them myself and it
- 11:34Speaker 2: was so easy and so cheap. Yeah, it just it
- 11:38Speaker 2: made sense. But so many people don't know that you
- 11:40Speaker 2: can just do it yourself. Yes, exactly.
- 11:42Speaker 3: It sounds like it's sponsor, but it's not.
- 11:44Speaker 5: But that wipe Tech brand is who I use too,
- 11:45Speaker 5: because they've guarantee that if you can't put it on
- 11:47Speaker 5: and they'll just give you money back.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 11:50Speaker 3: I like that's so.
- 11:51Speaker 2: Yes, but that's a good deal. And I have actually
- 11:54Speaker 2: DMed them and asked them for a discount coach because
- 11:56Speaker 2: like they're surprisingly they're actually a small business. So I
- 12:00Speaker 2: was like, oh, I like that, we're supporting them, and
- 12:03Speaker 2: so I asked for a discount code. Foreshes all the
- 12:05Speaker 2: money yet tear back. But if we get one, I
- 12:08Speaker 2: will pop it in the show notes and I'll like
- 12:10Speaker 2: pop it all over social media, because like we should
- 12:12Speaker 2: just be doing this stuff ourselves. It feels over. It's
- 12:16Speaker 2: like finance. For so long we've been told like, oh,
- 12:18Speaker 2: that's a man's game, like car stuff. It's easy. Yeah,
- 12:22Speaker 2: it really.
- 12:23Speaker 3: It all makes sense as well, Like.
- 12:24Speaker 4: I changed my window over the weekends, finally did put
- 12:28Speaker 4: all the panels off blah crazy and you know, your
- 12:31Speaker 4: side mirrors, all these things, like you know, if you
- 12:34Speaker 4: can do it, if one person can do it without
- 12:37Speaker 4: the help of like big industrial size lifters and things,
- 12:41Speaker 4: you can do it in your own backyard.
- 12:43Speaker 3: So I would love to.
- 12:44Speaker 2: I love so we're all just changing our wipers, we're
- 12:46Speaker 2: topping up our wash of fluid, we're changing our oil.
- 12:49Speaker 2: I love this for us.
- 12:50Speaker 3: Yep, completely great.
- 12:52Speaker 4: I think that's so good. So cool, Well I'll do that.
- 12:54Speaker 4: I wouldn't have been clear out my my boot for
- 12:56Speaker 4: the press. I'll just make it as possible.
- 12:59Speaker 2: Absolutely love this for us.
- 13:01Speaker 4: Okay, so my broke tips. This first one comes from Lisa,
- 13:05Speaker 4: who says, stock up on all frozens.
- 13:08Speaker 3: I'm assuming you.
- 13:09Speaker 4: Know, like your turkey's your chickens on Boxing Day because
- 13:13Speaker 4: of those things they stay, they stay good, and the
- 13:15Speaker 4: next year you've got it all there. So it's also
- 13:18Speaker 4: even if you paid full price for it this year,
- 13:21Speaker 4: for next year, it will still once you get there
- 13:23Speaker 4: feel like it was free.
- 13:24Speaker 2: But wait until it goes on sale.
- 13:25Speaker 4: Everything will go on half price even cheaper, probably when
- 13:28Speaker 4: they get desperate and just stock.
- 13:31Speaker 3: Up if you have the space.
- 13:32Speaker 2: So love a Boxing day ham, Yeah, boxing hair, So
- 13:35Speaker 2: like a boxing day ham obviously if you don't like
- 13:39Speaker 2: Christmas ham weird but okay, but like baking a ham
- 13:44Speaker 2: and then having ham sandwiches for the period of time
- 13:47Speaker 2: that the kids are off school and like school holidays,
- 13:50Speaker 2: and like you can use the hambones to make soup
- 13:53Speaker 2: and like there's just so much you can.
- 13:55Speaker 3: Do with it.
- 13:55Speaker 2: But ham is usually really expensive. So yeah, that's also
- 13:58Speaker 2: a hot tip, so you're not freezing it, but like
- 14:01Speaker 2: that's a good mulchi purpose item that you could purchase
- 14:05Speaker 2: and your money's worth and you can make like ham sandwiches,
- 14:08Speaker 2: take them to the beach over summer. Like that's my
- 14:11Speaker 2: childhood right there, Ham mustard sandwich with like fresh white bread.
- 14:16Speaker 3: Yep, fresh with fresh Eric.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Now it's freshly baked by Eric. My dad's taken up baking.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he bakes bread now. And so whenever I'm
- 14:24Speaker 2: going down to his house, I like put in a
- 14:26Speaker 2: little bread order. I've been really liking his rice aldo.
- 14:29Speaker 3: Yeah, will you bring some in?
- 14:32Speaker 2: Yes, I will bring some Eric bread for you. Thank
- 14:34Speaker 2: you one hundred percent. You will be shocked at how
- 14:37Speaker 2: good it is, because I was too when he said
- 14:39Speaker 2: he was baking. I was like, oh, here we go,
- 14:42Speaker 2: here we go. But it is very good. And also,
- 14:46Speaker 2: do you know what, I'll ask him for the tips
- 14:48Speaker 2: because he buys the really big boxes of bread flour. Yeah,
- 14:51Speaker 2: and he's already done the maths on how much each
- 14:53Speaker 2: loafer is costing him, and he's like, oh, baker's delight,
- 14:56Speaker 2: this would have cost you seven dollars in my kitchen
- 14:58Speaker 2: two dollars eighty. Like he's a wizard. He's a wizard. Yeah, okay,
- 15:04Speaker 2: that could be that far from it could be a
- 15:08Speaker 2: broke tip. Maybe if you get those, yeah, Eric spread tips,
- 15:11Speaker 2: get those to just get that bread.
- 15:14Speaker 4: Also devon instead of ham. I don't know if you
- 15:18Speaker 4: guys ever dabbled, but anyway, Oh no, you guys call
- 15:20Speaker 4: it something else.
- 15:20Speaker 3: I don't know. Don't you speak a different language right now?
- 15:23Speaker 2: No?
- 15:23Speaker 3: No, I always had devan. You call it true, we
- 15:27Speaker 3: call it. But what do you mean if you ever dabbled?
- 15:31Speaker 2: That is all I would accept as a sandwich option
- 15:34Speaker 2: growing up. Devon sauce, white bread, and the storm mustard.
- 15:39Speaker 2: Oh that's way too fancy.
- 15:41Speaker 3: I haven't tried that one, but I will try that one.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Tomato sauce, stras stras sandwiches Victorians.
- 15:53Speaker 3: I'm not a meat Jesse also doesn't lack sandwich. I
- 15:57Speaker 3: don't even know. I can't imagine. You got can buy
- 15:59Speaker 3: a lot of love sandwich.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Like my favorite food, like not not favorite, but my
- 16:05Speaker 2: most convenient lunch is the seven eleven sandwich, like through
- 16:09Speaker 2: and through. Like if you know me in person, you
- 16:12Speaker 2: know I'll be like one sambo like that's I'll shout,
- 16:16Speaker 2: like I will go and get them. I drive from
- 16:18Speaker 2: my office to get a seven eleven sandwich because in
- 16:21Speaker 2: my head, that's the easiest lunch option for me.
- 16:25Speaker 3: Jessica doesn't eat them. Come on, I'll get a seven
- 16:27Speaker 3: eleven piles something I know you do.
- 16:29Speaker 2: It's not the point. This isn't sponsored. This is just
- 16:31Speaker 2: me genuinely having a very deep passion for seven eleven sandwiches.
- 16:35Speaker 2: But like good cries, how can you not like an
- 16:39Speaker 2: eggle lead of sandwich?
- 16:40Speaker 4: I think after a few bites, I'm like, okay, I've
- 16:43Speaker 4: been here, have done that.
- 16:44Speaker 3: You know, chicken chicken abbow, I like you.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Like the chicken avo. They also do a very mean
- 16:49Speaker 2: ham tomato cheese.
- 16:50Speaker 3: I just get really worried about gristles. You know, I
- 16:52Speaker 3: don't like gristly meat.
- 16:53Speaker 2: Why would they use gristly meat? They would sell no sandwiches.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Scared someone just literally walked out of my grave. Give
- 17:00Speaker 3: me sorry, Sorry, you got okay. Next one comes with
- 17:04Speaker 3: my friend. Now.
- 17:05Speaker 4: I know this is it's kind of briefly mentioned before.
- 17:07Speaker 4: I know, I know you've got that commerents. But Victoria,
- 17:11Speaker 4: I know you don't like me reusing, so I don't
- 17:13Speaker 4: think this is a technically round because we.
- 17:14Speaker 2: Should be getting the most value out of your segment.
- 17:17Speaker 2: I know it gave you your whole segment, and you
- 17:19Speaker 2: keep telling me the same thing.
- 17:22Speaker 3: I know it's cheating, but this one is a little
- 17:23Speaker 3: bit of Australia.
- 17:25Speaker 2: But my friend, you have it.
- 17:26Speaker 3: My friend literally changed the trajectory of her life by
- 17:31Speaker 3: doing a free course manifestation and that too. Oh no,
- 17:36Speaker 3: that was a joke. What's the free course?
- 17:37Speaker 2: It was how to build.
- 17:39Speaker 3: A multi level mark feeling skeptical. I'm not gonna lie
- 17:43Speaker 3: to you.
- 17:43Speaker 4: No, it was one of those you know, Victoria, I
- 17:45Speaker 4: don't know if everyone does it, the free taste, the
- 17:47Speaker 4: free tape courses. Okay, there was actually a good store, yeah,
- 17:51Speaker 4: outdoor something. So she's like to guard and doing like
- 17:53Speaker 4: all this kind of stuff.
- 17:54Speaker 2: Oh that's cool. So she did a free taste course
- 17:57Speaker 2: and then got a new job. Is that what you're saying?
- 18:00Speaker 2: You like, upskilled?
- 18:01Speaker 4: She upskilled, But she's like, actually just completely changed. Like
- 18:03Speaker 4: she was a cartographer.
- 18:05Speaker 3: It's like a map person.
- 18:06Speaker 4: I don't really understand it now doing outdoorsy stuff, which
- 18:09Speaker 4: is what she actually closed.
- 18:10Speaker 3: That's her passion.
- 18:11Speaker 2: And I just feel like Taifa is free too.
- 18:13Speaker 4: It is free and if you well, you know, particular
- 18:15Speaker 4: courses and if you just like keep checking every year,
- 18:17Speaker 4: I feel like they change, they update, and just just
- 18:20Speaker 4: see what's going.
- 18:21Speaker 2: We're always looking because Jess and I we keep talking
- 18:23Speaker 2: about wanting to do an olds Land course, but we
- 18:26Speaker 2: haven't found one that's like accessible for both of us
- 18:29Speaker 2: and on days that work, because the Odds Land course
- 18:31Speaker 2: that we want to do, like is like the proper one,
- 18:34Speaker 2: and I think it's our closest one is in the
- 18:36Speaker 2: city and it's on like a night that doesn't work,
- 18:37Speaker 2: and it's just it's not going to work out yet,
- 18:39Speaker 2: but one.
- 18:39Speaker 3: Day we will get there.
- 18:41Speaker 2: This might be so cool.
- 18:42Speaker 3: That would be really cool.
- 18:43Speaker 4: I know one handed because my Grandma's death, so I
- 18:45Speaker 4: could teach you that, but it's not very universe.
- 18:48Speaker 2: No, I like it. We've started doing sign language for
- 18:51Speaker 2: Harvey actually, and so we've made sure that it is
- 18:54Speaker 2: oz Land sign language, so I can do some small things.
- 18:57Speaker 2: But maybe Harvey and I are learning together, like he
- 18:59Speaker 2: knows eat and more, and he knows like all done,
- 19:03Speaker 2: and he knows like milk, and he knows water mom
- 19:07Speaker 2: and dad, so like there's like a heap of them
- 19:09Speaker 2: that we've been slowly learning. But I think it's really important.
- 19:12Speaker 3: That's cute. That's a really really good one to learn.
- 19:15Speaker 2: Yeah, when you have an audio based product podcast exactly, exactly.
- 19:21Speaker 4: Okay, So this next one was obviously my own. It
- 19:24Speaker 4: is Black Friday related.
- 19:26Speaker 3: And it is my Friday days.
- 19:27Speaker 2: That's perfect is today.
- 19:29Speaker 3: I was like, when the hell is black?
- 19:31Speaker 2: Actually today? That's today?
- 19:33Speaker 3: Good to know, good to know.
- 19:34Speaker 4: So Woolworths are doing a I don't know if you've
- 19:37Speaker 4: heard of Everyday Extra, but it's like I have, Yes,
- 19:40Speaker 4: you can genuinely if you shop at will Words a lot,
- 19:42Speaker 4: you can genuinely save like a fair bit of money
- 19:45Speaker 4: every year, every month. Even so basically for thirty five
- 19:48Speaker 4: dollars a year, you could save up to one hundred
- 19:50Speaker 4: dollars every month. And so this particularly deal, Everyday Extra
- 19:54Speaker 4: is half price because of Black Friday.
- 19:57Speaker 3: And I would recommend having.
- 20:00Speaker 4: A look because if it, yeah, and if Woolwards is
- 20:02Speaker 4: doing it, I'm assuming that like Colds and Flybys and
- 20:05Speaker 4: all this kind of similar deal. So but I just think,
- 20:08Speaker 4: take advantage of these black write things. And if it's
- 20:10Speaker 4: thirty five dollars once off and you're saving money for
- 20:13Speaker 4: the whole year.
- 20:14Speaker 3: I don't know, that's a win win.
- 20:16Speaker 5: Yeah, and you get a I remember seeing Emma Edwards
- 20:18Speaker 5: the broke and you get a free thing every so often,
- 20:22Speaker 5: like it's random.
- 20:23Speaker 3: She was she.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Wanted the chocolate and then got the peppermints, and I
- 20:27Speaker 2: was like, I would have been so annoyed by that too.
- 20:30Speaker 5: Yeah, but like you get quite often. I think, like
- 20:32Speaker 5: you get to pick up a little freebie, which is
- 20:33Speaker 5: kind of fun.
- 20:34Speaker 2: So that's me. I like that. No, I reckon that
- 20:37Speaker 2: is a really good place to believe it. All right,
- 20:39Speaker 2: let's go to a really quick break on the flip side.
- 20:41Speaker 2: I'm excited for this. We've got a money dilemma about
- 20:44Speaker 2: exactly how credit card interest works. And you slid into
- 20:48Speaker 2: our dams about something that I think is gonna get
- 20:49Speaker 2: a little bit spassy dealing with what you think is
- 20:53Speaker 2: outdated money use. I don't go anywhere, guys. Welcome back everyone.
- 21:03Speaker 3: Let's take a listen to this week's money dilemma.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Hi, there, have you got a money dilemma you just
- 21:10Speaker 2: can't solve that. She's on the Money Team is here
- 21:12Speaker 2: to help. Every week we tackle your dilemmas, both big
- 21:16Speaker 2: and small, to answer your most burning money, career and
- 21:19Speaker 2: life questions.

- 21:20Speaker 2: Simply head to our website and leave us a short
- 21:23Speaker 2: voice recording, and you might just find yourself on the show. Now,
- 21:26Speaker 2: let's take a listen to this week's money dilemma. Hi,
- 21:31Speaker 2: she's on the money.
- 21:33Speaker 6: Look. I work as a banker, and I've noticed that
- 21:37Speaker 6: a lot of people really don't understand how interest works
- 21:40Speaker 6: on credit cards, specially residual interest, and there's a lot
- 21:45Speaker 6: of confusion around that. I think it would be absolutely
- 21:48Speaker 6: awesome if you could explain how interest on credit cards work.
- 21:52Speaker 6: Thank you bye.
- 21:53Speaker 5: This is a good question because I actually didn't realize
- 21:55Speaker 5: until recently that my credit card interest period is more
- 21:59Speaker 5: than the money. Like I'd always thought in my head
- 22:01Speaker 5: that you whatever you spend in the month, you'll pay
- 22:03Speaker 5: off by the end of the month.
- 22:04Speaker 3: Is it forty five days?
- 22:05Speaker 4: It is forty five days. And also it's like from
- 22:08Speaker 4: the date of purchase. So within that month, if I
- 22:13Speaker 4: spent one hundred dollars on the first and then one
- 22:15Speaker 4: hundred dollars on the twenty eighth, I'm not paying the
- 22:18Speaker 4: twenty eighth that much, which I didn't really I don't
- 22:20Speaker 4: know why, like I just had obviously never taken the
- 22:22Speaker 4: time to figure it out for myself. But say again
- 22:25Speaker 4: to me what you're saying. So it's kind of like
- 22:29Speaker 4: a roving period, right. So, like my interest period on
- 22:32Speaker 4: my personal credit card is forty five days, which obviously
- 22:35Speaker 4: no month is forty five days, but it's also from
- 22:37Speaker 4: the date of purchase, yes, like within the month. In
- 22:40Speaker 4: order to avoid paying interest, I only have to pay
- 22:42Speaker 4: for the things that I'd purchased within the last forty
- 22:44Speaker 4: five days. Okay, got you got you got? Yes, And
- 22:47Speaker 4: so I used to think that if you paid for
- 22:48Speaker 4: something on the twenty.
- 22:49Speaker 5: Eighth, yeah, I fully just thought whatever balance was, which
- 22:52Speaker 5: is really stupid, but I just thought, whatever's on my
- 22:54Speaker 5: card needs to be paid before the end of the month.
- 22:55Speaker 3: Or a pay interest.
- 22:56Speaker 2: I mean not sure that's a healthy habit. Yes, it's
- 22:59Speaker 2: a healthy It does give you a bit more flexibility
- 23:02Speaker 2: knowing that it's forty five days. Most of them are
- 23:04Speaker 2: forty five days. But you've got to make sure that
- 23:07Speaker 2: you're privy to the terms and conditions of your credit card,
- 23:10Speaker 2: which I would hope if you are signing up for
- 23:12Speaker 2: a credit card, you read Jessica. But I also think
- 23:17Speaker 2: before we get into this, credit cards like they are,
- 23:21Speaker 2: I think they're the devil, right. I think that they
- 23:23Speaker 2: are one of the worst things that can happen to
- 23:26Speaker 2: people who aren't good at money, But they are one
- 23:28Speaker 2: of the best things that can happen to people who
- 23:30Speaker 2: are great at money and are good at collecting points,
- 23:33Speaker 2: like a few people in my She's on the money team,
- 23:35Speaker 2: a fantastic at using credit cards, like Brook for example,
- 23:39Speaker 2: she is our video producer and does our course content.
- 23:43Speaker 2: She is so good at points hacking that she always
- 23:46Speaker 2: flies business class basically free, like wow, I am always
- 23:50Speaker 2: so impressed. But she's also very financially responsible, could never
- 23:55Speaker 2: be me Jess, very good with her credit card getting
- 23:58Speaker 2: all of her points Beck. It's not that side of
- 24:01Speaker 2: the table, Shu shun the non believer, like, it's just
- 24:05Speaker 2: not relatable. So I think it's really important to preface this.
- 24:09Speaker 2: I don't know, I feel like whenever I talk about
- 24:11Speaker 2: credit cards, I owe you guys a little bit of
- 24:13Speaker 2: an explormation or like a disclaimer beforehand that this isn't
- 24:16Speaker 2: going to work for everybody. But residual interest is something
- 24:19Speaker 2: we should all understand. So residual interest is sometimes called
- 24:23Speaker 2: like trailing interest, so it's interest that follows the loan
- 24:27Speaker 2: happens when you carry your credit card balance from one
- 24:31Speaker 2: month or one period of forty five values to the next,
- 24:35Speaker 2: and it builds up every day, so daily between the
- 24:38Speaker 2: time that your new statement is issued and the day
- 24:42Speaker 2: that your payment posts. So since it accruise after your
- 24:46Speaker 2: billing period closes, you're not actually going to see it
- 24:49Speaker 2: on your current statement like they don't. So say your
- 24:52Speaker 2: statement came out on like the twenty fifth of this month,
- 24:57Speaker 2: on the thirtieth of this month, you would have had,
- 24:59Speaker 2: you know, another five extra days of interest that has
- 25:02Speaker 2: built up. So if you paid out your quote credit
- 25:05Speaker 2: card in full on that day, you actually would have
- 25:08Speaker 2: had this trailing interest that is building up as well.
- 25:12Speaker 2: So if you're planning on paying out your credit card
- 25:14Speaker 2: in full, my recommendation is always call them up on
- 25:17Speaker 2: the day and say, hey, can you please calculate my
- 25:19Speaker 2: balance as at today and I will pay it today,
- 25:22Speaker 2: because otherwise you'll have trailing interest that needs to be
- 25:26Speaker 2: paid as well. So since it accrues, you can't see it.
- 25:30Speaker 2: So even if you paid like the full amount as
- 25:33Speaker 2: I was explaining, your next statement might come as a
- 25:36Speaker 2: surprise because you accruede some interest in that five day
- 25:39Speaker 2: window or in the window between your statements. Does that
- 25:43Speaker 2: make sense?
- 25:44Speaker 3: So I've written out an example because I'm like, this.
- 25:47Speaker 2: Is really important that you really get this so you
- 25:51Speaker 2: never have to like calculate it yourself. In fact, it
- 25:53Speaker 2: can almost be impossible to calculate it yourself. Your bank
- 25:56Speaker 2: or your credit card issuer will be able to do
- 25:58Speaker 2: that for you. But essentially you could estimate it, because
- 26:04Speaker 2: it accrues every single day, you don't know at the time, whatever,
- 26:07Speaker 2: you could estimate it. So say you got like a
- 26:09Speaker 2: whole heap of expenses a crew on a credit card
- 26:12Speaker 2: bill and you just couldn't afford to pay it off
- 26:14Speaker 2: all at once, and so you had one thousand dollars
- 26:17Speaker 2: on your credit card from last month's statement, and maybe
- 26:21Speaker 2: say that your annual interest rate is eighteen percent. I
- 26:25Speaker 2: feel like eighteen percent is a pretty normal interest rate
- 26:27Speaker 2: for credit cards these days, because most credit cards in
- 26:30Speaker 2: Australia sit between like sixteen and twenty five percent as
- 26:34Speaker 2: an interest rate. So what you would do is you
- 26:37Speaker 2: would divide your annual percentage rate of eighteen percent by
- 26:41Speaker 2: how many days there are in the year. So you're
- 26:43Speaker 2: going to divide eighteen by three hundred and sixty five days,
- 26:48Speaker 2: and that takes it to being So the answer to
- 26:50Speaker 2: that is point zero four nine three percent. So that's
- 26:55Speaker 2: not going to make a lot of sense right now
- 26:57Speaker 2: to you.
- 26:57Speaker 3: But when you.
- 26:58Speaker 2: Multiply this by your current DAN so you've got that
- 27:00Speaker 2: current balance of one thousand dollars, the result is forty
- 27:04Speaker 2: nine point three cents. So that's what you're going to
- 27:07Speaker 2: add to the balance every single day that you don't pay.
- 27:12Speaker 2: So you know how I was explaining, like, if your
- 27:14Speaker 2: bill came on the twenty fifth and then it's due
- 27:16Speaker 2: on the like, or you paid on the thirtieth, and
- 27:18Speaker 2: you've got those five days, you would need to take
- 27:20Speaker 2: that forty nine point three cents per day and accrue
- 27:24Speaker 2: that every single day. Now that doesn't mean it will
- 27:26Speaker 2: be one hundred percent correct, but that's a good way
- 27:28Speaker 2: of like estimating it. So if I guess your billing
- 27:31Speaker 2: cycle for that credit card bill that you you rolled
- 27:35Speaker 2: over from last month because we just couldn't pay it off,
- 27:38Speaker 2: is one thousand dollars, and it begins on the first
- 27:41Speaker 2: of every month, And let's say you pay off the
- 27:45Speaker 2: thousand dollars on the eleventh of that month, you would
- 27:48Speaker 2: be charged approximately four dollars and ninety three cents in
- 27:52Speaker 2: residual interest on that thousand dollars by the time the
- 27:55Speaker 2: payment was received. So does that make sense. So it's
- 27:58Speaker 2: like this tiny amount of interest, which they were clear
- 28:02Speaker 2: to you existed, But residual interest is the interest accrued
- 28:06Speaker 2: between the day you got your bill and it was
- 28:08Speaker 2: clear to you what you owed and then the day
- 28:10Speaker 2: that you paid it.
- 28:11Speaker 4: And the interest is going on the amount that you
- 28:15Speaker 4: owe or the entire so for example.
- 28:18Speaker 2: It'll be on the amount that you owe. So, like
- 28:20Speaker 2: as Jess was saying before, like if you're in your
- 28:23Speaker 2: and this is why credit cards start to get real
- 28:25Speaker 2: complicated really quickly. Say you had that one thousand dollars
- 28:29Speaker 2: that rolled over from last month, and that's there on
- 28:31Speaker 2: the first of this month, and then two days in
- 28:34Speaker 2: on like maybe let's say the third of this month,
- 28:37Speaker 2: you made a new purchase. That interest wouldn't apply to
- 28:40Speaker 2: that purchase that you just made because you're in your
- 28:43Speaker 2: forty five day interest free window. It would only apply
- 28:46Speaker 2: to that one thousand dollars. But after that forty five days,
- 28:49Speaker 2: if you had that one thousand dollars and your new purchase,
- 28:52Speaker 2: the interest would accrue for that too.
- 28:53Speaker 3: Gotcha, okay, gotcha? Does that make sense? It does? It does.
- 28:57Speaker 4: So let's say, for example, because it's been a long
- 28:59Speaker 4: time credit card, but let's say, for example, the entire
- 29:02Speaker 4: credit card you have used like five thousand dollars of it,
- 29:04Speaker 4: but the actual bill was like one hundred and thirty
- 29:06Speaker 4: eight dollars. Ye, just to clarify the if your interest
- 29:09Speaker 4: is being on that full five thousand, full five thousand, okay. Yeah,
- 29:14Speaker 4: So that bill.
- 29:14Speaker 2: That you get in the mail, which is really frustrating
- 29:17Speaker 2: to me, Like I want a bill to come in
- 29:19Speaker 2: the mail and be like bexsied you wigh five grand?
- 29:22Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, But what.
- 29:23Speaker 2: They're going to do is this is the minimum repayment.
- 29:26Speaker 2: You only have to pay us back one hundred and
- 29:28Speaker 2: thirty eight dollars of this five grand. And you go, oh,
- 29:30Speaker 2: that's not so bad.
- 29:31Speaker 3: I'll just pay that. Yeah.
- 29:33Speaker 2: But you know how we always talk about the magic
- 29:36Speaker 2: of compound interest and how sexy that is, and that's
- 29:39Speaker 2: the money that your money makes, and that money makes
- 29:41Speaker 2: money over time. That's exactly how credit card debts work.
- 29:45Speaker 2: But it's upside down. So every single day that you
- 29:49Speaker 2: hold credit card debt, you're essentially instead of paying. Like
- 29:53Speaker 2: we know, the Australian share market, right on average, over
- 29:56Speaker 2: the last thirty years, has returned about nine point two percent, right,
- 30:00Speaker 2: your credit card debt is racking up way more than that.
- 30:03Speaker 2: So like it's at eighteen percent. So like every month
- 30:07Speaker 2: you're paying the bank eighteen percent. So you can now
- 30:10Speaker 2: see why it's such a good investment for banks to
- 30:12Speaker 2: offer credit cards because they're getting eighteen percent return every
- 30:15Speaker 2: single time you don't pay your bill, and it's not
- 30:18Speaker 2: in their best interest to issue a statement that says, back,
- 30:20Speaker 2: by the way, here's the total amount you owe. By
- 30:22Speaker 2: the way, like work really hard to get rid of this.
- 30:25Speaker 2: They're going to go, hey, Beck, so you only also
- 30:27Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty eight dollars because we'll just roll
- 30:29Speaker 2: the five grand over and you can just pay interest
- 30:31Speaker 2: on that. Usually your one hundred and thirty eight dollars
- 30:34Speaker 2: is your interest payment. You just have to pay your
- 30:37Speaker 2: interest and keep it going. So, Beck, I've jumped onto
- 30:40Speaker 2: the moneysmart dot gov dot au website, which we all
- 30:43Speaker 2: know I adore, right, and they have a credit card
- 30:46Speaker 2: calculator which if you have credit card debt you absolutely
- 30:49Speaker 2: should go on here, But we use the example before
- 30:51Speaker 2: you said, V what if I have a five thousand
- 30:53Speaker 2: dollar credit card interest rate, We're going to go with
- 30:55Speaker 2: eighteen percent. If you make minimum repayments of that one
- 31:00Speaker 2: hundred and thirty eight dollars each and every single month, Beck,
- 31:05Speaker 2: that will take you thirty four years and seven months
- 31:08Speaker 2: to pay that debt off.
- 31:09Speaker 3: Oh crazy, wow?
- 31:11Speaker 2: Right, And that's at minimum repayments, Okay. That means over
- 31:15Speaker 2: that period of time, you will pay, in addition to
- 31:18Speaker 2: the five thousand dollars that you borrowed, an additional ten thousand,
- 31:21Speaker 2: six hundred and forty seven dollars because you borrowed the
- 31:25Speaker 2: money from the bank at eighteen percent.
- 31:27Speaker 3: WHOA, it doesn't not just hurt your side?
- 31:29Speaker 4: I know I can totally see too how I mean,
- 31:32Speaker 4: of course, like it just happened to me, but like
- 31:34Speaker 4: how easy it is to just be snowed under it.
- 31:36Speaker 2: It's a slippery slope. Because you just got the letter
- 31:38Speaker 2: in the mail and it said, Beck, your minimum repayment
- 31:40Speaker 2: is one hundred and thirty eight dollars, and you said, fantastic,
- 31:43Speaker 2: I'll just pay that then. But what you're choosing when
- 31:46Speaker 2: you pay that as the minimum is you're choosing another
- 31:50Speaker 2: thirty four years and seven months to pay that off,
- 31:53Speaker 2: and you're choosing to pay an additional ten thousand, six
- 31:57Speaker 2: hundred and forty seven dollars on the debt that you
- 31:59Speaker 2: already owe. WHOA Like it's not worth it, is it?
- 32:02Speaker 2: But they don't want you to kind of know that.
- 32:04Speaker 2: So the thing that they will highlight is that all
- 32:06Speaker 2: you have to pay today is one hundred and thirty
- 32:08Speaker 2: eight dollars. I mean, if you look at the rest
- 32:10Speaker 2: of the statement, legally they are going to have you
- 32:13Speaker 2: know your total amount owing and how long it will
- 32:15Speaker 2: take you. But you didn't see that because it's in
- 32:17Speaker 2: the fine print. It's down the bottom. Like they're not
- 32:19Speaker 2: highlighting that. They're highlighting the pretty thing up the top
- 32:22Speaker 2: right hand corner. Usually that says minimum repayment due on
- 32:25Speaker 2: the thirtieth of this month. There's one hundred and thirty
- 32:27Speaker 2: eight dollars. And you think palatable too bad? One hundred
- 32:31Speaker 2: and thirty eight dollars, I mean, oh, five grand, but
- 32:33Speaker 2: at least to have new furniture for the house that
- 32:35Speaker 2: I've just moved into, and it's taken a whole heap
- 32:37Speaker 2: of stress off me. Don't get me wrong, We've all
- 32:39Speaker 2: been in that situation. But this is why we need
- 32:41Speaker 2: to prioritize our debt reduction and paying off our credit cards,
- 32:46Speaker 2: because it's stripping away more than ten grand of your
- 32:49Speaker 2: money by choosing minimum repayments. Yeah, but the credit card
- 32:53Speaker 2: company does not want to educate you on that because
- 32:56Speaker 2: it makes them a lot of money opening They just
- 33:00Speaker 2: turned that five grand that they lent to you into fifteen. Wow, geniuses.
- 33:06Speaker 2: That mean I'll give anyway? So does that make sense? Yeah?
- 33:11Speaker 2: I feel like discussing residual income. That was a good one,
- 33:15Speaker 2: maybe even if it's not like your money dilemma. But
- 33:17Speaker 2: you want to like pop a voice note in and
- 33:20Speaker 2: send us a like, hey, could you explain this on
- 33:22Speaker 2: the show? That would be really cool. I love that. Yeah, definitely,
- 33:25Speaker 2: I love that because like we're always like, what should
- 33:27Speaker 2: we do? What are you guys interested in? Like, how's
- 33:29Speaker 2: that going to add value? You tell us?
- 33:31Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 33:32Speaker 3: So true.
- 33:32Speaker 2: And the intern, terrible intern actually deleted all of our
- 33:37Speaker 2: voice notes that we had on our website. See the
- 33:41Speaker 2: intern is Victoria. Yeah yeah, yeah, then I didn't know
- 33:45Speaker 2: that they weren't backed up. I thought that like they
- 33:48Speaker 2: would save somewhere else and they didn't save anywhere else.
- 33:51Speaker 2: So now we have no voice notes, and we've got
- 33:53Speaker 2: like one or two left. So if anybody is feeling
- 33:56Speaker 2: charitable and would like to help us top up our
- 33:59Speaker 2: voice notes, you can head to our website and hit
- 34:01Speaker 2: the podcast page and then there's like a record a
- 34:04Speaker 2: voice note for the show. You can leave voice notes
- 34:07Speaker 2: about questions you'd like on the show, love notes, whatever
- 34:09Speaker 2: sets your heart on fire.
- 34:11Speaker 3: That's so cute.
- 34:12Speaker 5: Excellent, Well, let's set into the spicy spicy DM.
- 34:15Speaker 3: I can't wait.
- 34:16Speaker 2: Are you ready for the spicy DM? That's already Okay,
- 34:19Speaker 2: here's the DM we got this week. Hey, she's on
- 34:21Speaker 2: the money. I believe if one person takes a career
- 34:24Speaker 2: break when looking after children, the other partner should contribute
- 34:27Speaker 2: to their super But my dad thinks it's disrespectful to
- 34:31Speaker 2: even suggest this, saying it's the kind of thing that
- 34:34Speaker 2: could drive a partner to walk out the door. I'd
- 34:38Speaker 2: love to hear your views and maybe get some AMMO
- 34:41Speaker 2: to prove to him he's got a very outdated view.
- 34:45Speaker 3: Oh gosh, to start.
- 34:50Speaker 2: Hey Dad, did you ever change a nappy?
- 34:52Speaker 3: Literally?
- 34:52Speaker 2: It's giving boomer energy? Did you ever change a nappy?
- 34:56Speaker 2: No interesting concept?
- 34:58Speaker 3: Did you?
- 34:59Speaker 2: How are you financial supporting mum? Dad?
- 35:03Speaker 3: I think it's like if you have a child.
- 35:06Speaker 4: It's so funny when when men say like they can
- 35:09Speaker 4: only really empathize with women when they have a woman
- 35:11Speaker 4: in their life that they care about. It, It's like
- 35:13Speaker 4: I can still, I can empathize with a with a
- 35:15Speaker 4: dog that's being hurt. I'm not a dog. Yeah, I
- 35:19Speaker 4: don't own a dog. But I didn't see that that,
- 35:20Speaker 4: you know what I mean. So I'm like, that's a funny.
- 35:21Speaker 4: But anyway, I'm not to perentuate that.
- 35:24Speaker 2: I always find it so interesting, Yeah, but not to
- 35:27Speaker 2: perpetuate that.
- 35:28Speaker 3: Like, you have a daughter, so you should understand.
- 35:30Speaker 4: But seriously, your daughter could be in a position where
- 35:34Speaker 4: she's financially dependent on someone who is making her life
- 35:38Speaker 4: miserable or literally so many other scenarios that could play
- 35:42Speaker 4: out if your daughter doesn't have any money when it
- 35:45Speaker 4: gets to retirement, you know. So I'm like, it's so
- 35:49Speaker 4: you're saying you would actually prefer the financial freedom to
- 35:53Speaker 4: sit in the hands your daughter's husband. Yeah, so that
- 35:57Speaker 4: if something happens, she's fine financially scrooged and he's Okay.
- 36:02Speaker 2: So that's okay with you.
- 36:04Speaker 3: That's what it sounds like.
- 36:05Speaker 4: It's like, okay, well she might be and you know, Touchwood,
- 36:10Speaker 4: but realistically, at that point when your daughter is ready
- 36:13Speaker 4: for retirement, has maybe like thirteen thousand dollars in her
- 36:16Speaker 4: super hopefully maybe less, maybe more, and you know, obviously
- 36:21Speaker 4: the parents might be gone by then maybe something's happened
- 36:25Speaker 4: to the husband Touchwood, hopefully not, and you're comfortable with
- 36:28Speaker 4: the idea that your daughter has nothing really to you know,
- 36:34Speaker 4: she can't really afford to live, she can't afford to cook,
- 36:37Speaker 4: she can't forward to This is a very extreme.
- 36:38Speaker 2: Story, obviously, but it's actually, sadly a very real scenario.
- 36:43Speaker 3: I really know that.
- 36:44Speaker 2: The biggest demographic of people experiencing homelessness are women in
- 36:49Speaker 2: their fifties and sixties. Yeah, and it is because they
- 36:52Speaker 2: weren't financially supported into retirement or they went through a
- 36:56Speaker 2: divorce or a separation and ended up with no superinuation.
- 37:00Speaker 2: And it's the culmination of all of those tiny steps
- 37:04Speaker 2: along the way, right, Like you might think, oh, no,
- 37:06Speaker 2: it's fine, I'll just take a year off because like
- 37:07Speaker 2: I really want to have a baby, and then you're
- 37:10Speaker 2: letting your partner overtake you when it comes to career progression.
- 37:15Speaker 2: Because so many times, oh so many times, when I
- 37:17Speaker 2: was a financial advisor, I'd see women come to me
- 37:20Speaker 2: and their partners were, you know, had really high incomes.
- 37:23Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what they did, but they had high
- 37:25Speaker 2: incomes because of the sacrifices that their partners made to
- 37:28Speaker 2: stay home and look after the family and contribute in
- 37:32Speaker 2: that way. That then the partner would be like, no,
- 37:34Speaker 2: I worked hard for my money, as though the sacrifice
- 37:39Speaker 2: wasn't held as like the burden was on women the
- 37:44Speaker 2: entire time.
- 37:44Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, it's so crazy that like two people
- 37:48Speaker 4: are deciding to do this thing together. And let's say,
- 37:51Speaker 4: I know I don't want to like in a baby
- 37:52Speaker 4: too like a pet, but just for this scenario, just
- 37:55Speaker 4: for this story.
- 37:56Speaker 2: Oh like the other I was sitting at the dining
- 37:58Speaker 2: table and it was like a little bit of ham
- 37:59Speaker 2: for my sound, a little bit of ham for my dog.
- 38:01Speaker 4: Like, but two people they want to say, for example,
- 38:05Speaker 4: by a dog, imagine one of the two people. Let's
- 38:08Speaker 4: take gender out of this completely, and now we're looking
- 38:10Speaker 4: at just two figures. And now does it it does
- 38:15Speaker 4: sound a little bit more ridiculous when you take gender
- 38:18Speaker 4: out of it and you just look at two people
- 38:20Speaker 4: and you're like, two people have decided to do this thing,
- 38:23Speaker 4: only one of you.
- 38:24Speaker 2: Sorry, you can't work.
- 38:27Speaker 3: Actually you can't get any money.
- 38:28Speaker 2: You can't get any soup, but you can't get any
- 38:29Speaker 2: like for you, actually just none for you, randomly for
- 38:32Speaker 2: absolutely no reason, just some arbitrary reason.
- 38:35Speaker 3: There is a reason, you know, gap babies maybe need
- 38:40Speaker 3: breast milk or whatever.
- 38:40Speaker 4: There's there's maybe many reasons why this one figure might
- 38:44Speaker 4: have to stay home. But it's like when you look
- 38:46Speaker 4: at it like that, you're like, but these two people
- 38:49Speaker 4: made the decision, So why is only one getting all
- 38:52Speaker 4: of these consequences? You know, it just seems so unfair,
- 38:56Speaker 4: because yes, an unfair division of labor, sexual relationships work, Beck,
- 39:02Speaker 4: I don't like that, and I just think.
- 39:04Speaker 2: So don't have a heterosexual relationship. Yeah, true, It's like
- 39:08Speaker 2: I won't, but I think it is. It's super interesting
- 39:11Speaker 2: because I don't even think that's outdated, Like I just
- 39:15Speaker 2: think it's wrong, like even history, Like let's go back,
- 39:19Speaker 2: let's go back to the nineteen fifties, Gregory, let's talk
- 39:22Speaker 2: about it. Did you have a job that could put
- 39:25Speaker 2: food on the table, a roof over the heads of
- 39:27Speaker 2: your family, and go on a family holiday each and
- 39:29Speaker 2: every single year without your partner working. Great, you probably
- 39:33Speaker 2: could have in twenty twenty four, that is not the reality.
- 39:37Speaker 2: In fact, both parents need to work. And I'm sorry
- 39:40Speaker 2: women are still being paid less, Like why aren't you
- 39:43Speaker 2: as a girl? Dad mad that your daughter doesn't have
- 39:47Speaker 2: the exact same opportunities as a boy born on the
- 39:50Speaker 2: same day as her yep, Like I remember the day
- 39:53Speaker 2: that I gave birth to Harvey because we didn't know
- 39:55Speaker 2: his gender, Like, we had no idea if we're having
- 39:57Speaker 2: a boy or a girl. And I remember thinking like
- 40:00Speaker 2: maybe it was the next day, Wow, you're a white male.
- 40:05Speaker 3: That's going to be good to you.
- 40:07Speaker 2: And I remember thinking wow, like the burden is never
- 40:13Speaker 2: going to sit that heavily on your shoulders. And I
- 40:15Speaker 2: hope I can educate you enough to understand what that
- 40:19Speaker 2: burden is going to look like for maybe your sisters
- 40:23Speaker 2: in the future, or for your partner, or for your
- 40:25Speaker 2: friends or for your fan like I hope that I
- 40:28Speaker 2: can do this justice and bring up like a feminist
- 40:32Speaker 2: little boy who just cares about other people and wanting equality,
- 40:36Speaker 2: Like I just remember being like, that's a burden to carry, Okay,
- 40:39Speaker 2: no worries, but then at the same time being like, well,
- 40:42Speaker 2: you're not ever going to experience a genda pay cap,
- 40:45Speaker 2: Like it's insane to me that other parents aren't immediately
- 40:49Speaker 2: like protect my daughter protect Like to me, it's a
- 40:52Speaker 2: protective mechanism, Like there's just I couldn't imagine my dad's
- 40:57Speaker 2: saying that. I know anyway, you won't have any quote, ammo.
- 41:01Speaker 2: I just have a lot of disappointment that I suggest
- 41:04Speaker 2: the situation. Of course you can suggest.
- 41:07Speaker 5: I would say, kind of what you were getting to
- 41:09Speaker 5: at the end, I would almost take gender out of it,
- 41:11Speaker 5: because I think that the additional super contribution should be
- 41:15Speaker 5: applicable regardless of you know, if it's two men, two women,
- 41:19Speaker 5: to non conforming identitied people, if the male is choosing
- 41:23Speaker 5: to be the stay at home parent, regardless of the situation,
- 41:25Speaker 5: I think whatever person is taking time out of the
- 41:29Speaker 5: workforce deserves to have their superannuation contributed. And as you
- 41:32Speaker 5: were saying, my husband and I have spoken about this,
- 41:34Speaker 5: and I have and will contribute to my husband's superannuation
- 41:38Speaker 5: into the future when he takes more time.
- 41:40Speaker 2: Off because I want more babies. Yeah, that's just how
- 41:43Speaker 2: it's going to work.
- 41:43Speaker 3: Yes, I think the.
- 41:44Speaker 5: Argument of that is really just as you are kind
- 41:47Speaker 5: of touching on that, whoever taking time out of the
- 41:50Speaker 5: workforce is being put on the back foot. I feel
- 41:52Speaker 5: like maybe your dad's perspective is also coming from, you know,
- 41:55Speaker 5: a byproduct of again, his generation is largely people didn't
- 41:59Speaker 5: really get divorced back in our parents' day.
- 42:01Speaker 2: I feel it's cool, mum, mum, when you divorce dad,
- 42:04Speaker 2: don't forget it. And if you're not in Western Australia,
- 42:07Speaker 2: you can take half his supers. So yeah, that if
- 42:10Speaker 2: you get a good lawyer, you could have like sixty
- 42:12Speaker 2: or seventy percent of be super anyway, moving on on, Yeah.
- 42:14Speaker 5: But I almost think that perhaps it's not safeguarding your
- 42:18Speaker 5: future in that way. Isn't maybe something that occurs to
- 42:21Speaker 5: him because it just simply wasn't something happened and that's
- 42:24Speaker 5: not an excuse, Like I think, I completely agree. I
- 42:26Speaker 5: think it's his mentality quite frankly is wrong from my perspective,
- 42:30Speaker 5: but I think that maybe that's what he's thinking. And
- 42:32Speaker 5: I think in terms of presenting your argument, because that's
- 42:35Speaker 5: what you've asked us about. I would be explaining, well,
- 42:38Speaker 5: God forbid, if something does happen in the future and
- 42:40Speaker 5: I need to leave, Like, do I not deserve to
- 42:41Speaker 5: have the same opportunity the big opportunity cost of not
- 42:45Speaker 5: contributing to SUPER, Because I guess the argument could be made, Oh,
- 42:48Speaker 5: but you have access to the family bank account or
- 42:51Speaker 5: the whatever is that's not compounding at the same rate
- 42:54Speaker 5: as Super. There's also additional tax benefits for contributing to SUPER,
- 42:59Speaker 5: Like there's a lot of it is from choosing to
- 43:02Speaker 5: go that route. And I think the bye and far
- 43:04Speaker 5: the biggest one and the one that should be convincing him,
- 43:07Speaker 5: not that you should need to convince him, is that
- 43:09Speaker 5: it's putting you in the best possible situation. And I'm sorry,
- 43:13Speaker 5: but any man who is going to walk out on
- 43:14Speaker 5: you because you've asked him to contribute to your SUPER
- 43:16Speaker 5: is not a man that she should be married to, dating,
- 43:18Speaker 5: sleeping with, or really breathing in the direction of. Like
- 43:21Speaker 5: that is a recatcher, ridiculous, ridiculous sentiment. And I think
- 43:26Speaker 5: our listener is totally right that that is very much
- 43:28Speaker 5: a byproduct of you know him and his generation but
- 43:31Speaker 5: ultimately the reason that you would do this is because
- 43:34Speaker 5: both people who have chosen to have this child deserve
- 43:37Speaker 5: to continue to have opportunity, regardless of the fact that
- 43:40Speaker 5: the child has been born, and regardless of the gender
- 43:43Speaker 5: of the person who's staying at home. It's genuinely just
- 43:46Speaker 5: about safeguarding the future or your future, and any partner
- 43:49Speaker 5: who loves you should be on board with that.
- 43:51Speaker 2: One hundred percent. And also any partner that's like, I
- 43:54Speaker 2: don't know why I'm contributing to your super, Jess, I'm
- 43:58Speaker 2: sorry if you got plans to exit this relationship, because
- 44:02Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that we agreed on what's yours is
- 44:04Speaker 2: mine and what's mine is yours, and aren't we planning
- 44:07Speaker 2: on retiring together, then it's still our retirement fund, whether
- 44:10Speaker 2: it's in my super with your super. The second you
- 44:12Speaker 2: start going, oh but I don't want it in yours,
- 44:14Speaker 2: go but why Yeah, what are you so worried about?
- 44:17Speaker 2: Like we are we not as solid as I thought
- 44:19Speaker 2: that you were, Like, I just I have a lot
- 44:21Speaker 2: of conversations, and I also I am probably on a
- 44:24Speaker 2: very pessimistic side of TikTok at the moment where lots
- 44:27Speaker 2: of women are like, let's just not have partners because
- 44:30Speaker 2: they're burdens. And I'm like, I see you, queen.
- 44:34Speaker 4: Yeah, like I get it, which I can see you
- 44:36Speaker 4: so unfair, it's actually insane you This is not the same.
- 44:39Speaker 4: But like imagine you're like saying with your best friend,
- 44:41Speaker 4: let's go on a trip to Japan together, like you're
- 44:43Speaker 4: talking about fan but anyway together, and it's like only
- 44:47Speaker 4: one of you pays for it, Like it just seems
- 44:49Speaker 4: so like you know what, I keep li likening it too,
- 44:50Speaker 4: like you're both making the decision.
- 44:52Speaker 3: You're both making a decision. Doesn't make any sense to me.
- 44:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I think equality is something that hasn't existed historically,
- 44:59Speaker 2: so it makes a lot of sense that it's just
- 45:01Speaker 2: not your dad's default. But I think it's a really
- 45:03Speaker 2: beautiful learning opportunity to go. Okay, Like, hey, I can
- 45:07Speaker 2: totally see that that might make I don't know, why
- 45:10Speaker 2: would that make you walk out?
- 45:11Speaker 6: Dad?
- 45:11Speaker 2: Like is it because you're bringing up this is probably
- 45:13Speaker 2: a good conversation to have about his money story? Like
- 45:15Speaker 2: why would you think that my partner would walk out
- 45:17Speaker 2: if I asked him to contribute to my super So
- 45:20Speaker 2: that I'm okay, Oh, I would walk him straight out.
- 45:24Speaker 2: You don't walk out, I'll hold the door open, don't
- 45:26Speaker 2: let it hit you.
- 45:27Speaker 4: Yes, seriously, Well, it will change your addresses everywhere for
- 45:30Speaker 4: you'll do with life admin see you later.
- 45:32Speaker 3: That's it.
- 45:33Speaker 5: And then flip it around like if you don't want
- 45:35Speaker 5: to contribute my stuper okay, no problems. How about you
- 45:37Speaker 5: be the stay at home parent because.
- 45:39Speaker 2: I don't want to sacrifice my financial future and.
- 45:42Speaker 5: Money for my stupor and you'll get nothing and then
- 45:44Speaker 5: see how they feel about that.
- 45:45Speaker 2: Yes, when we have these conversations before you actually choose
- 45:50Speaker 2: to get pregnant as well, because like red flag run, yeah,
- 45:54Speaker 2: big time. We asked the community obviously, we said what
- 45:57Speaker 2: do you think of her dad's view? Eighty one percent
- 46:00Speaker 2: of you said it's outdated, eight percent of you said
- 46:03Speaker 2: he's got a point, oh what, and ten percent said
- 46:07Speaker 2: I don't agree, but I know lots who do.
- 46:10Speaker 3: That's hard.
- 46:10Speaker 2: Another question we asked was, have you or do you
- 46:13Speaker 2: plan to have the other partner contribute to the primary
- 46:16Speaker 2: cares super Forty one percent of you said yes because
- 46:20Speaker 2: it's only fair. For forty six percent of you, I
- 46:25Speaker 2: get this said you hadn't considered it, but now you've
- 46:28Speaker 2: gone right, yes, hopefully, and thirteen percent said no, it's
- 46:31Speaker 2: not for us.
- 46:32Speaker 5: I said it to all of my friends when they
- 46:34Speaker 5: got pregnant. Every friend I've said you should do your contribution.
- 46:37Speaker 2: I feel like I've done so well at molding you
- 46:39Speaker 2: into a small, yappy version of me. I tell them
- 46:42Speaker 2: this spread the good word if you would like to
- 46:46Speaker 2: join the church or we also said all right, we
- 46:50Speaker 2: need your two cents. So someone said, if your partner
- 46:53Speaker 2: walks out because of this request, farewell, sucker genuinely. Someone
- 46:58Speaker 2: said voted no, but only because I'm very fortunate my
- 47:01Speaker 2: employer is still gonna pay me super on Matt Leaf.
- 47:04Speaker 2: Oh that's great, great, that is very cool. Someone else said,
- 47:07Speaker 2: I'm so intrigued about the hadn't considered it results. Someone said,
- 47:12Speaker 2: in a separation, wouldn't super get split anyway, But it
- 47:16Speaker 2: is a smart way to maximize contributions.
- 47:19Speaker 5: But if your super gets split, then you both end
- 47:21Speaker 5: up on the back foot. Yeah, it's fifty percent of
- 47:23Speaker 5: what one person should have had.
- 47:24Speaker 2: Yeah, and yeah, it's also not a guarantee. So just
- 47:27Speaker 2: because you're going through a divorce, it doesn't mean that
- 47:29Speaker 2: you're gonna get part of your husband's superannuation. Like, if
- 47:33Speaker 2: you have no money and you can't pay good legal
- 47:36Speaker 2: representation and your husband is able to do that, I mean,
- 47:40Speaker 2: this is a very you know, stereotypical example. And your
- 47:42Speaker 2: husband's able to pay legal representation and scare the hell
- 47:46Speaker 2: out of you and wear you down, you walk away
- 47:48Speaker 2: with nothing.
- 47:49Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah seriously, So, like, can.
- 47:51Speaker 2: We just set it up properly from the start, Like
- 47:53Speaker 2: there are so many situations where women aren't able to
- 47:57Speaker 2: advocate for themselves, or in a situation where the relationship
- 48:01Speaker 2: has turned abusive and they would actually prefer to not
- 48:03Speaker 2: have any money because they just don't want any confrontation
- 48:06Speaker 2: and they want to walk away from this asap. Like
- 48:08Speaker 2: there are so many reasons why, like bread and butter. Yeah,
- 48:12Speaker 2: Like you would assume that in a separation you would
- 48:14Speaker 2: review all of your finances and split it fairly. However,
- 48:19Speaker 2: that's not always the reality of it. And prevention is
- 48:21Speaker 2: better than cure, right.
- 48:22Speaker 3: So true, But even if you do hypothetically stay together forever.
- 48:25Speaker 4: And but one person has like a million dollars in super,
- 48:28Speaker 4: one person has like five thousand dollars in super, I
- 48:31Speaker 4: don't know what the dynamics like there.
- 48:32Speaker 3: I just don't know that.
- 48:32Speaker 4: If I go out with my partner and I don't
- 48:34Speaker 4: have any money and she has to pay for everything,
- 48:36Speaker 4: I feel silly.
- 48:38Speaker 2: But she'sa mamma.
- 48:39Speaker 3: She is sugar mama. Sometimes she's my sugar mama.
- 48:41Speaker 2: I like it.
- 48:42Speaker 4: I like it, you know, like it's still like whether
- 48:44Speaker 4: you separate or not. It's like you still don't want that.
- 48:48Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it, I get it.
- 48:49Speaker 2: Someone else said, I said, not for us, because I'm
- 48:52Speaker 2: going through IVF. We still don't have a baby, but
- 48:55Speaker 2: once we get there, there won't be extra cash for SUPER.
- 48:58Speaker 3: I understand.
- 48:59Speaker 2: I totally get that. Someone else said, it's either contribute
- 49:02Speaker 2: to SUPER or pay for daycare, cleaner and all of
- 49:04Speaker 2: the other unpaid roles. Which one is it?
- 49:06Speaker 5: Completely agree, completely agree. And the pain of it, like
- 49:10Speaker 5: even if you went back to work, like as soon
- 49:12Speaker 5: as you were able to, if that's a choice that
- 49:13Speaker 5: you made, you still the time you have to take off,
- 49:15Speaker 5: like you know, even if you push it right to
- 49:17Speaker 5: the end, like a month maybe pre birth, and then
- 49:20Speaker 5: however long post birth or where you physically cannot work.
- 49:24Speaker 2: No true true. Someone else said, it's giving boomer. I agree.
- 49:28Speaker 2: I agree someone said money is tight or maternity leave.
- 49:31Speaker 2: I can see how asking for super good add more
- 49:33Speaker 2: money stress. So this is true, but we're not asking
- 49:37Speaker 2: for post tax contributions from your budget. We are asking
- 49:41Speaker 2: for your partner to redirect some of their subranuation that
- 49:44Speaker 2: doesn't hit your bank account to be redirected into your supranuation.
- 49:49Speaker 2: So I get this concept that, oh, money's already tight.
- 49:52Speaker 2: It's fine, Like that's a really good defense if it
- 49:54Speaker 2: was coming from your bank account. But I'm actually asking
- 49:57Speaker 2: for part of the contribution that you're employer or sorry,
- 50:01Speaker 2: your partner's employer makes to their super to be split
- 50:05Speaker 2: into two different super funds, one of which is yours.
- 50:07Speaker 2: Your partner's employer is still paying the same percentage of
- 50:10Speaker 2: superannuation to them in total, it's just going some into
- 50:13Speaker 2: your account. So we're not asking for above and beyond.
- 50:17Speaker 2: We're asking for split.
- 50:18Speaker 4: Yes, I can see how that might be confusing or
- 50:21Speaker 4: like scare people off from doing it, but yes, exactly
- 50:24Speaker 4: as you're same. You also could definitely like add extral
- 50:27Speaker 4: that's definitely part of the conversation. But to you, we're
- 50:30Speaker 4: not asking for the budget to be impacted because I
- 50:34Speaker 4: know how expensive a baby is, Like, I get that
- 50:36Speaker 4: it would be very tight. So that is what I've
- 50:39Speaker 4: brought to the table when it comes to our DM
- 50:41Speaker 4: and I feel like I've gotten a little bit heated.
- 50:43Speaker 2: So I'm sorry, but I'm also not sorry.
- 50:45Speaker 3: No, you're doing God's work.
- 50:47Speaker 2: But I also I just get so frustrated, Like we
- 50:50Speaker 2: just want equality. I just want people to be paid
- 50:54Speaker 2: what the job is worth, not what it is worth
- 50:56Speaker 2: because you're a female. I want, like desperately for parents,
- 51:01Speaker 2: especially in the generations that haven't had it before, to
- 51:04Speaker 2: see the opportunity that this generation is creating for us
- 51:08Speaker 2: in having a quality Like wouldn't you go, wow, that's
- 51:11Speaker 2: a great idea, honey, Like wow, I really do want
- 51:14Speaker 2: you to have everything and every opportunity afforded to you,
- 51:17Speaker 2: and this is another way of doing that. Yes, I
- 51:19Speaker 2: wish that we'd had that information when I was growing up.
- 51:22Speaker 2: I wish I was able to do that for your mum, Like,
- 51:25Speaker 2: those are the conversations I want to be having, not Oh,
- 51:27Speaker 2: that's outdated. Your man will walk out on you. Yeah, Dad,
- 51:30Speaker 2: who are you ridiculous? Still? David, I feel like that's
- 51:33Speaker 2: all we have time for today. But before that if
- 51:36Speaker 2: you have been thinking about changing your money mindset, if
- 51:39Speaker 2: you have been thinking about him, they're sting or doing
- 51:41Speaker 2: our money master class. Our bundle sale is still on
- 51:45Speaker 2: until Monday. I'm going to pop all of the information
- 51:48Speaker 2: for that into the show notes so that you can
- 51:50Speaker 2: have a look. But it is a very good way
- 51:52Speaker 2: of saving a whole heap of cash on our courses,
- 51:55Speaker 2: and they're going to launch in January. It's going to
- 51:57Speaker 2: be like our best year yet. I feel like I've
- 51:59Speaker 2: been using the term thrive in twenty twenty five a lot,
- 52:03Speaker 2: and it's becoming like my mantra, like next year is
- 52:06Speaker 2: going to be the best year we've ever had. Jessica.
- 52:07Speaker 3: Oh, I hope, So I can't wait.

- 52:11Speaker 2: see you brite nearly on Monday for a money diary.
