- 0:19Speaker 2: Hello and welcome to She's on the Money, the podcast
- 0:22Speaker 2: for millennials who want financial freedom. This week on money Daries,
- 0:27Speaker 2: we speak to our nineteen year old super saver who
- 0:29Speaker 2: has a very very exciting money goal. So let's jump
- 0:33Speaker 2: straight in.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Our family was financially well off in my childhood, but
- 0:38Speaker 3: at two thousand and nine, my mum got a redundancy
- 0:41Speaker 3: and then cyclone yazy kid Queensland. Does that sound right yasy?
- 0:44Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
- 0:46Speaker 3: Yeah, and it wiped out our family's investment properties, leaving
- 0:49Speaker 3: us in seven hundred thousand dollars of debt.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Oh my god.
- 0:52Speaker 3: Yeah. The parents had to sell the family home. We
- 0:55Speaker 3: had the big Australian dream house, you know at the
- 0:57Speaker 3: pool at the back and that sort of thing, living
- 0:59Speaker 3: the sort of happily her after, if you will, and
- 1:01Speaker 3: they had to sell that a move into a place
- 1:03Speaker 3: that had three bedrooms, and there was five of them
- 1:05Speaker 3: in the family that had to move schools to the
- 1:07Speaker 3: public school and stuff. So their life just really changed
- 1:09Speaker 3: all of a sudden, and it really just changed her
- 1:11Speaker 3: sort of whole mindset on everything. Really. Her mum is
- 1:15Speaker 3: unwell also, so she's not able to keep working and
- 1:18Speaker 3: earning money. Oh how awful, But she says, now in
- 1:20Speaker 3: the good news. I was planning to go to Europe
- 1:22Speaker 3: last year, but COVID got in the way. But because
- 1:24Speaker 3: I had all this money saved up, I wanted the
- 1:26Speaker 3: money to kind of start doing well for me. So
- 1:28Speaker 3: I thought listening to She's on the money advice and
- 1:31Speaker 3: stuff like that. Since then, I now have a three
- 1:34Speaker 3: thousand dollar emergency fund tracked to have thirty thousand dollars
- 1:38Speaker 3: for twenty twenty two. When I go on exchange to.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Europe with you, she'll be great.
- 1:42Speaker 3: IM sitting at twelve thousand right now, so she's already ahead.
- 1:45Speaker 3: But the biggest achievement was when she bossed up big time,
- 1:48Speaker 3: and this is her words, bossed up big, tossed up
- 1:51Speaker 3: big time and left my insanely toxic and exploitive workplace.
- 1:55Speaker 3: And she stood up to her ex boss and was
- 1:56Speaker 3: brutally on it. She said, usually I don't want to
- 1:58Speaker 3: burn a bridge, but I was really being taking advantage
- 2:00Speaker 3: of I was a student, I was young. They knew that.
- 2:03Speaker 3: So she got a new job in September and she
- 2:05Speaker 3: was promoted within a month. The family is still in
- 2:07Speaker 3: considerable debt, but I feel good knowing that I'm not
- 2:09Speaker 3: contributing to it as much and the next year I
- 2:12Speaker 3: can actually lend a bit of a hand and help out,
- 2:15Speaker 3: she says. PS. Congratulations on the Smartest Podcast Award. Congratulations
- 2:18Speaker 3: to Victoria's new baby, Lucy. She knows there's the.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Dog right Yeah, like I mean questionable whether she's a dog.
- 2:23Speaker 3: Yeah. Congratulations Ryan on the kiss job or yay. A
- 2:27Speaker 3: lot's happened in her life. She's I feel years old
- 2:32Speaker 3: about to turn nineteen.
- 2:33Speaker 2: From when you get her on the phone.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Let's hello Cat speaking Hi Kat, this is Ryan, Victoria
- 2:44Speaker 3: and Georgia. How are you doing good?
- 2:46Speaker 2: How are you guys?
- 2:47Speaker 3: Good? Sorry, we're a little bit late calling.
- 2:50Speaker 4: To actually watch. And congrats girlfriends.
- 2:54Speaker 3: Oh what's the congrats? Are you engaged?
- 3:01Speaker 2: You keep bringing it up. It's now weird.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Like you know, Victoria just got back from the holidays
- 3:07Speaker 3: with their partner and they're not engaged.
- 3:11Speaker 2: All right, Let's jump straight in. What's your relationship with money?
- 3:15Speaker 4: Being like in the past, So for me, I a
- 3:19Speaker 4: big thing for me was having a bit of independence
- 3:22Speaker 4: through money. I didn't like relying on my parents, so
- 3:26Speaker 4: I actually got my first job, I guess you could say,
- 3:29Speaker 4: at thirteen, doing the local newspaper run gave me a
- 3:33Speaker 4: whopping fifteen dollars a week.
- 3:35Speaker 2: I respect that only fifteen dollars a week when you're
- 3:39Speaker 2: thirteen though thirteen, but like, can we please remember that? Sorry,
- 3:44Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure you're only eighteen, so wasn't that long
- 3:47Speaker 2: ago yet. It's a little bit of slave labor.
- 3:51Speaker 4: Just a little like it's fun.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Joe would have expected at least twenty bucks.
- 3:56Speaker 4: I know, but like, what can you do for.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Grand apologies jump unnecessarily again.
- 4:03Speaker 4: So yeah, from there, I got my first proper job
- 4:05Speaker 4: at fifteen, justacking at a supermarket, and then from there
- 4:09Speaker 4: until I sort of graduated high school, it was mostly
- 4:12Speaker 4: just week to week. I think I had at any
- 4:14Speaker 4: given time maybe like seven hundred bucks in my account
- 4:18Speaker 4: to save for my wonderful school's trip, and then it
- 4:22Speaker 4: was blown.
- 4:24Speaker 2: What do you do for work now? Obviously you don't
- 4:26Speaker 2: still have your paper route job, and how much do
- 4:29Speaker 2: you earn? And how much is currently in your bank account?
- 4:33Speaker 4: So in a moment, at the moment, I work as
- 4:38Speaker 4: a junior project coordinator at like a management consulting firm,
- 4:43Speaker 4: so it's part time because I'll be starting UNI this
- 4:46Speaker 4: year and I'm on a fifty five K salary post
- 4:50Speaker 4: super and we.
- 4:51Speaker 3: Heard it's a new job and you got promoted with
- 4:52Speaker 3: a month, so feel like you don't have to be humble.
- 4:54Speaker 3: We'll celebrate for you.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Yeah what a queen.
- 4:58Speaker 4: Yes, thanks guys.
- 5:00Speaker 2: That is epic though, because yeah, we'll get into it after.
- 5:03Speaker 2: I just think it's epik. I'll ask you the next question. So,
- 5:07Speaker 2: how much is currently sitting in your bank account right now?
- 5:10Speaker 4: At the moment? I have around nineteen K saved, which
- 5:14Speaker 4: includes a three K emergency funds that I don't touch.
- 5:18Speaker 2: So so so good. So what's your attitude to money
- 5:22Speaker 2: and what's currently your big money goal?
- 5:25Speaker 4: So my attitude at the moment is probably just to
- 5:28Speaker 4: save as much as I possibly can while I'm living
- 5:31Speaker 4: at home and I don't really have any overhead. I
- 5:35Speaker 4: like to definitely have a plan in place to budget
- 5:38Speaker 4: and to know what I'm going to save and invest
- 5:40Speaker 4: each month. And my big money goal is actually to
- 5:44Speaker 4: go to the UK on exchange in twenty twenty three.
- 5:47Speaker 2: That is a really big money goal. How much will
- 5:50Speaker 2: that money goal cost you in total?
- 5:52Speaker 4: Do you think I'm hoping to have about thirty k
- 5:56Speaker 4: saved for it. I think I will. I've actually lucky
- 6:00Speaker 4: to have citizenship over there, so I can't work there
- 6:04Speaker 4: and it's not too big different issue. But yeah, I'm
- 6:07Speaker 4: going to have hopefully thirty k and then whatever else
- 6:10Speaker 4: I can grape up before I leave.
- 6:12Speaker 2: So what's your attitude towards investing? Do you currently have
- 6:15Speaker 2: any investments?
- 6:17Speaker 4: I do. I currently have a share portfolio worth about
- 6:21Speaker 4: four and a half grand.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Is that an addition to your savings?
- 6:25Speaker 4: That is in addition?
- 6:26Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, and you're only eighteen?
- 6:28Speaker 4: Yes, I was super excited, gets queen. I did read
- 6:33Speaker 4: like the entire concept website from head to toe right
- 6:38Speaker 4: turned eighteen.
- 6:39Speaker 2: I really like their content. If you are looking for
- 6:41Speaker 2: info on it, I feel like they break it down
- 6:43Speaker 2: in a really great way. They essentially write in a
- 6:46Speaker 2: very blog style.
- 6:47Speaker 4: It's really easy to understating.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so if you want a recommendation obviously not
- 6:52Speaker 2: paid by comseck, or if they want to pay me,
- 6:54Speaker 2: I wouldn't say no, I'll take the cash. But yeah,
- 6:57Speaker 2: the Comcex website, if you want to learn more about him,
- 7:00Speaker 2: is a really great place to head I'm not sure
- 7:02Speaker 2: if you do have debts, but what depths do you
- 7:06Speaker 2: currently have?
- 7:07Speaker 4: I have no debts at the moment, but obviously I
- 7:10Speaker 4: will accrue a hex step at the end of my
- 7:13Speaker 4: university degree.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Absolutely. And what is your best money habit?
- 7:18Speaker 4: I think just having a budget into it, so I
- 7:23Speaker 4: sort of go by a bit of the barefoot regime.
- 7:27Speaker 4: Having separate cards for my expenses and entertainment works really
- 7:30Speaker 4: well for me.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Awesome. And what would your worst money have it be?
- 7:36Speaker 4: I struggle to spend money on myself, so I kind
- 7:39Speaker 4: of feel guilty if I buy clothes or luxuries for myself,
- 7:44Speaker 4: But working on fitting it into my budget so hopefully soon.
- 7:48Speaker 2: And the last question that arguably one of my favorites.
- 7:52Speaker 2: What grade would you give yourself if I forced you
- 7:55Speaker 2: to give yourself a grade?
- 7:57Speaker 4: I think I'd give myself a beef. I think that
- 8:01Speaker 4: there's always things to learn and ways to improve, but
- 8:04Speaker 4: I feel like I've got the foundations downpacked.
- 8:10Speaker 2: You're listening to money diaries, all right, So that was
- 8:16Speaker 2: actually a really interesting money diary. But I guess one
- 8:20Speaker 2: of the first questions I've got for you is why
- 8:22Speaker 2: did you want to share your money Diary on our podcast.
- 8:25Speaker 4: I got so excited when I found this podcast, Like
- 8:28Speaker 4: I have literally recommended it to genuinely anyone who will
- 8:33Speaker 4: listen to me. Yes, And so I was like, I
- 8:38Speaker 4: saw Ryan's post in the group, and I was like,
- 8:40Speaker 4: you know what might as well, like why not give
- 8:43Speaker 4: it a shot?
- 8:44Speaker 3: Speaking which I the one thing that stood out to
- 8:46Speaker 3: me in what was a very busy email, because there's
- 8:49Speaker 3: a lot going on there. You said you bossed up
- 8:52Speaker 3: big time and left an insanely toxic and exploitive workplace.
- 8:56Speaker 3: Obviously don't go into too many details, but.
- 8:59Speaker 2: Now don't don't bry them under a.
- 9:00Speaker 3: Bus, but just how like, it's a lot easier said
- 9:04Speaker 3: than done to say, oh, just leave. I mean I
- 9:06Speaker 3: feel like in a lot of situations that's just the
- 9:08Speaker 3: easy throwaway line. But it's obviously not that easy. So
- 9:11Speaker 3: how did you sort of psych yourself up for getting
- 9:13Speaker 3: through that situation?
- 9:14Speaker 4: I actually have to credit it all to you guys. Literally,
- 9:18Speaker 4: I'd been thinking about it for a bit because there
- 9:21Speaker 4: was just a lot going on, and I was like,
- 9:23Speaker 4: I feel like I'm sort of not being treated properly.
- 9:26Speaker 4: I think I need to leave. And as soon as
- 9:28Speaker 4: I was thinking about it. You guys released the money
- 9:32Speaker 4: and mental health episodes, and I was like, that's it.
- 9:35Speaker 4: I'm out of here.
- 9:36Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, so good. We literally got you did
- 9:42Speaker 2: so obviously.
- 9:43Speaker 3: I mean you just said the topic was money and
- 9:45Speaker 3: mental health. I assume it was starting to affect more
- 9:48Speaker 3: than just your time at work. Is that fair to say?
- 9:51Speaker 4: Yeah? It was just like, honestly, there was no work
- 9:54Speaker 4: life balance. My employer was sort of the expectation was
- 9:58Speaker 4: that if I took the holiday or whatever, started to
- 10:00Speaker 4: be online and on my emails and replying, and it
- 10:03Speaker 4: just gross. Got to your point, Yeah, I know, and
- 10:06Speaker 4: I just thought that was normal. I was like, oh, yeah,
- 10:08Speaker 4: makes sense.
- 10:09Speaker 2: That is totally not normal. Like you are on holiday,
- 10:12Speaker 2: you are uncontactable, and that's why you actually have the
- 10:15Speaker 2: ability to put an out of office on your email exactly.
- 10:19Speaker 3: So tell me how did it feel after you know,
- 10:21Speaker 3: you left that day, Like, did you feel amazing after
- 10:24Speaker 3: you finally had that chat and really stood up for yourself.
- 10:27Speaker 4: Yes, I honestly, it was like a weight off my shoulders.
- 10:31Speaker 4: I didn't even bother to have anything lined up showed away.
- 10:34Speaker 4: I was like, I just need to get out, got
- 10:36Speaker 4: to do it for myself and it just felt so good.
- 10:40Speaker 3: I think we associate the emergency fund with if an
- 10:43Speaker 3: unexpected bill happens, or our car breaks down, or you know,
- 10:46Speaker 3: a health thing. But is an emergency fund maybe something
- 10:49Speaker 3: that can help pay the bills for a few weeks
- 10:51Speaker 3: when you're between jobs, because it's not healthy or helpful
- 10:54Speaker 3: for you to say that.
- 10:56Speaker 2: Absolutely, And this is something that I've actually written an
- 10:59Speaker 2: article on before, and I think that who was it,
- 11:02Speaker 2: I can't remember. Some media outlet picked it up and
- 11:05Speaker 2: it was one of my first articles, and I was
- 11:07Speaker 2: very proud of it. And essentially I don't swear, as
- 11:11Speaker 2: you guys probably already know, but I did call it
- 11:14Speaker 2: an if off fund, And for me, an emergency fund
- 11:19Speaker 2: is really important because you know, if you have an
- 11:21Speaker 2: unexpected cost come up, you can cover it. But I
- 11:24Speaker 2: also think that we should be having this emergency fund
- 11:28Speaker 2: so that we can essentially say f off to any
- 11:31Speaker 2: situation or place or person that we want to. So
- 11:35Speaker 2: whether that is we are in a relationship with a
- 11:37Speaker 2: toxic employer and we need to get out of that
- 11:40Speaker 2: and pay the bills for a couple of months. I
- 11:42Speaker 2: think that that emergency account is the reason it exists.
- 11:45Speaker 2: Like as much as it's not a you know, triple
- 11:48Speaker 2: zero emergency, it definitely is an emergency when it comes
- 11:51Speaker 2: to your mental health, and the same goes for personal
- 11:54Speaker 2: relationships or maybe you find yourself, you know, overseas on
- 11:57Speaker 2: holidays with friends and you're hating it. That's what your
- 12:00Speaker 2: fund is for. It is something that you know gives
- 12:03Speaker 2: you the power of choice, regardless of what that choice is.
- 12:07Speaker 2: And I think that that's the important thing about an
- 12:09Speaker 2: emergency fund.
- 12:10Speaker 3: And did you feel just having a little bit of
- 12:12Speaker 3: savings anyway it made you feel a bit freer to
- 12:14Speaker 3: make that decision?
- 12:16Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely, I was sort of like, I mean, obviously,
- 12:18Speaker 4: I'm very lucky to still be living at home. You know,
- 12:21Speaker 4: it wasn't going to cost me too much. But yeah,
- 12:25Speaker 4: I definitely felt a lot better. And I was really
- 12:27Speaker 4: really lucky that I actually did end up having something
- 12:31Speaker 4: lined up by the time my notice period is up.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Oh how good. I love stories like that. I mean,
- 12:38Speaker 2: it is a little bit silly of us to just
- 12:40Speaker 2: assume everyone has that grace. So there are probably going
- 12:43Speaker 2: to be a number of people listening to this who
- 12:45Speaker 2: aren't in a situation where they can just quit their jobs.
- 12:49Speaker 2: You know, you've been in a relationship with the toxic employer.
- 12:52Speaker 2: If you had to stick it out, what would you
- 12:54Speaker 2: say is your number one tip for people in that
- 12:57Speaker 2: situation right now who potentially can't just quit.
- 13:00Speaker 4: I think that probably the biggest thing that helped me
- 13:03Speaker 4: was just getting all my ducks in a row before
- 13:06Speaker 4: I left. So I obviously hadn't been thinking about it
- 13:09Speaker 4: for too long, but I just wanted to make sure
- 13:12Speaker 4: that I had an emergency fund to rely on if
- 13:15Speaker 4: I was out of a job for longer than I
- 13:18Speaker 4: had expected. I started doing pilates around that time, and
- 13:22Speaker 4: that was also a really good way to just sort
- 13:24Speaker 4: of switch off for a bit, So that really help me.
- 13:27Speaker 3: You mentioned in your email about the cyclone and the
- 13:31Speaker 3: property damage, and it really sort of changed a lot
- 13:34Speaker 3: about the finance of your family. Did that change or
- 13:39Speaker 3: teach you anything about making money, losing money, how important
- 13:43Speaker 3: money is or isn't. Did that kind of impact you
- 13:45Speaker 3: at all? Because you're obviously quite financially savvy now, How
- 13:48Speaker 3: much of an impact did that have when you were younger?
- 13:50Speaker 4: Absolutely? I mean, obviously this happened or when I think
- 13:54Speaker 4: I was like ten years old, so didn't have a
- 13:57Speaker 4: whole lot of cash to blush around in, but it
- 14:00Speaker 4: just made me sort of realize that things can go
- 14:04Speaker 4: like they can. You can get a full whint eighty
- 14:05Speaker 4: done on you pretty easily. But it definitely taught me
- 14:08Speaker 4: the importance of money. And I think that when I
- 14:11Speaker 4: was sort of reading Barefoot and listening to you guys,
- 14:14Speaker 4: hearing about the idea of having an emergency fund just
- 14:16Speaker 4: made so much sense to me. So having that in
- 14:20Speaker 4: place and just yeah, I think it definitely impacted the
- 14:22Speaker 4: way that I look at it because it made me
- 14:25Speaker 4: so much more aware of how things can just flip.
- 14:29Speaker 4: But made me a lot more grateful for the money
- 14:32Speaker 4: that I do get, and you know, it makes me
- 14:36Speaker 4: want to work a lot harder so that I can
- 14:38Speaker 4: be in a good financially secure position.
- 14:41Speaker 3: I'm really curious to know what you're studying and what
- 14:44Speaker 3: you plan to do with your career, because considering you're
- 14:46Speaker 3: eighteen years old, you sound incredibly mature and switched on
- 14:50Speaker 3: and driven and from.
- 14:53Speaker 2: Years I do believe what are you studying.
- 14:55Speaker 3: I'm so curious just to know everything about this situation.
- 15:00Speaker 4: I am studying business and creative intelligence.
- 15:03Speaker 2: That you hear of course she is that robots probably
- 15:08Speaker 2: not robots.
- 15:13Speaker 4: No. Literally, everyone asks me, they're like, are you an AI?
- 15:16Speaker 2: Like, no, That's what I'm thinking.
- 15:18Speaker 3: So what's creative intelligence?
- 15:20Speaker 4: That is a good question. I'll get back to you
- 15:22Speaker 4: in six months. I've gone there.
- 15:25Speaker 2: You're literally doing a degree just so you can confuse us.
- 15:29Speaker 2: I love it.
- 15:31Speaker 4: It's just it looks really fun. I think it's sort
- 15:33Speaker 4: of like problem solving in different ways of looking at
- 15:35Speaker 4: business issues.
- 15:36Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of thing.
- 15:37Speaker 4: So that sounds really interesting, but I might hate it.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Who knows upon she's on the money in six months.
- 15:42Speaker 2: In an interview money diary with a creative intelligence studyer,
- 15:47Speaker 2: you said.
- 15:48Speaker 3: That you had a bit of trouble allowing yourself to
- 15:51Speaker 3: spend money, and that's been such a common theme with
- 15:54Speaker 3: a lot of our money diarists. You've said a few times,
- 15:56Speaker 3: I'm saving up because I want to go in exchange,
- 15:58Speaker 3: I'm saving up because I want to go to Europe.
- 16:00Speaker 3: It seems like a big blowout of I'm going to
- 16:02Speaker 3: be really really frugal until this big sort of travel opportunity.
- 16:05Speaker 3: Tell us a little bit about your mindset towards that.
- 16:07Speaker 4: Definitely, knowing that I have got this big money goal
- 16:10Speaker 4: that I want to work towards is sort of has
- 16:13Speaker 4: impacted for sure, the way that I see spending money
- 16:16Speaker 4: on myself. It has gotten a lot better. Like I
- 16:20Speaker 4: obviously spoke to my therapist about it, and she was like,
- 16:23Speaker 4: this is getting out of hands. You need to buy
- 16:25Speaker 4: that pair of jeans. Come on, yeah, welcome to me.
- 16:32Speaker 4: That would be shoes.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Obviously I feel attacked.
- 16:40Speaker 4: So yeah, I think even I was thinking about it
- 16:43Speaker 4: today and I think COVID also just realizing how quick
- 16:47Speaker 4: you can sort of lose everything or a lot of stuff. Yeah,
- 16:52Speaker 4: I think through COVID, knowing that people have lost their
- 16:55Speaker 4: jobs and that everything can fall apart pretty quickly, it
- 16:58Speaker 4: feels silly to spend money on things that aren't necessary
- 17:02Speaker 4: and that aren't completely essential. But yeah, I think it's
- 17:04Speaker 4: just something that I've got to work on. But I've
- 17:06Speaker 4: definitely gotten better having the two separate cards.
- 17:09Speaker 3: Now, what's something considering we've got Victoria Devine? What's one
- 17:13Speaker 3: of your nicknames for v Sorry to put.

- 17:57Speaker 4: I know that it was actually brought up in the
- 17:59Speaker 4: Facebook group really recently. But the whole idea of looking
- 18:03Speaker 4: at Victoria's career I think is super interesting.

- 18:42Speaker 2: have had because I do genuinely think it has made
- 18:46Speaker 2: Cheese on the money what it is because I do
- 18:48Speaker 2: have in the background two degrees in psychology. Both of
- 18:51Speaker 2: those really play into every single thing that we do here.
- 18:55Speaker 2: But yeah, all right, maybe, given we've got a money
- 18:57Speaker 2: direst asking for I'll do that YouTube video that just
- 19:00Speaker 2: told me I had to watch this space. Friends.
