- 0:41Speaker 2: we are recording this episode in lockdown, which is you carry? Yes,
- 0:49Speaker 2: I am. I just said my name was Tony Lodge,
- 0:51Speaker 2: but it's now Mariah Carey.
- 0:53Speaker 3: I love that. All right, Mariah? Can you read this
- 0:55Speaker 3: week's Money Diarist email to me?
- 0:58Speaker 2: All right, here we go, Hey frands.
- 1:00Speaker 4: Oh cute.
- 1:00Speaker 2: She obviously loves She's on the Money. She said, Hey, friends,
- 1:03Speaker 2: that's a vibe. That's vibe. I'm twenty two, a casual
- 1:07Speaker 2: retail employee and primary teaching student, and I've had a
- 1:10Speaker 2: hell of a year. Last year when COVID started, I
- 1:13Speaker 2: had four hundred dollars to my name and I was stressed. Thankfully,
- 1:17Speaker 2: because of job Keeper, I was able to save my job,
- 1:20Speaker 2: but it was a massive wake up call for me.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Spending money was such a comfort for me, and I
- 1:24Speaker 2: would do it so mindlessly. Since then, I've saved about
- 1:27Speaker 2: twenty thousand dollars, but i have constant anxiety about my money,
- 1:31Speaker 2: and I'm in a push pull with myself of spending
- 1:34Speaker 2: money impulsively and then gets so anxious that I'm ruining
- 1:37Speaker 2: my financial future. Common In the last month, my dad died,
- 1:42Speaker 2: I lost my job, and my boyfriend and I have
- 1:45Speaker 2: broken up after five years together. My dad's death was
- 1:49Speaker 2: really sudden and unexpected, and now my brother and I
- 1:51Speaker 2: are set to inherit a pretty hefty sum one and
- 1:54Speaker 2: a half million kind of hefty wow, which is crazy
- 1:58Speaker 2: to us. Of course, we would give it all back
- 2:00Speaker 2: to have our dad back with us, but now at
- 2:02Speaker 2: twenty two and nineteen, we have to figure out what
- 2:04Speaker 2: to do with the biggest amount of money we will
- 2:06Speaker 2: probably ever see in our lives. Thanks for taking the
- 2:09Speaker 2: time to read. You have changed my life. Ah So
- 2:14Speaker 2: it starts off interesting and then just gets more and
- 2:17Speaker 2: more interesting. And yes, she's about.
- 2:19Speaker 3: To start and I have so many questions, like saving
- 2:22Speaker 3: twenty grand is epic from four hundred dollars to twenty
- 2:24Speaker 3: thousand dollars, but then overlaying all of that, like that's insane,
- 2:28Speaker 3: Like that is so crazy. I know, how are you, friend.
- 2:33Speaker 4: I'm okay, I'm doing okay. I mean, it's been a
- 2:36Speaker 4: lot to deal with at once, for sure, So I
- 2:40Speaker 4: mean it comes and goes, especially being you know, in lockdown,
- 2:44Speaker 4: I have a lot of time to think about my feelings. So,
- 2:46Speaker 4: oh my.
- 2:47Speaker 3: God, I'm one of those people that's always like believing
- 2:51Speaker 3: in the universe and when something bad happens, I genuinely
- 2:55Speaker 3: have this belief that it always happens in threes, like
- 2:57Speaker 3: there's always three things. So if anything positive comes out
- 3:00Speaker 3: of this is you've already had your three my friend, Like,
- 3:02Speaker 3: that is your three bad things. Nothing else is going
- 3:05Speaker 3: to go wrong, which is a positive. But like, oh,
- 3:08Speaker 3: I'm so sorry to hear you've been experiencing that. That
- 3:11Speaker 3: is horrendous.
- 3:13Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been crazy, But I mean I think it's
- 3:15Speaker 4: just like I totally agree with you. Everything comes in threes.
- 3:18Speaker 4: I think it's the universe telling me that I need
- 3:21Speaker 4: a clean slate and need to be out of my
- 3:23Speaker 4: comfort zone and you know, take it as it comes.
- 3:26Speaker 3: But yeah, oh my gosh, your mindset.
- 3:29Speaker 2: I love you already, really really nice way of looking
- 3:32Speaker 2: at it, Like, I think as well, the fact that yeah,
- 3:35Speaker 2: and being in lockdown is just a cherry on top
- 3:38Speaker 2: of a rappy run of things. And for you to
- 3:42Speaker 2: be able to sit here and look at it like
- 3:44Speaker 2: that is really really powerful and give me such an
- 3:47Speaker 2: insight into the kind.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Of person I would not be as positive as you. Yeah,
- 3:52Speaker 3: that is so special. Well, thank you for taking the
- 3:54Speaker 3: time to share your story with us.
- 3:56Speaker 4: I thank you for taking time to chat with me.
- 3:59Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, of court. But let's get through the
- 4:01Speaker 3: questions together and then we can have a deep dive
- 4:04Speaker 3: I have. I have a lot of questions, but I
- 4:06Speaker 3: also just want to hear how you are and what's
- 4:09Speaker 3: going on. All right, let's dive straight in, my friend.
- 4:13Speaker 3: First question is what is your attitude towards money?
- 4:17Speaker 4: I think, like I said in my email, like a
- 4:20Speaker 4: lot of my attitude towards money is anxiety. Like I
- 4:23Speaker 4: feel very stressed when I get money, when I have
- 4:26Speaker 4: to spend it. When I do spend it on things
- 4:29Speaker 4: that I think I should be spending it on, I
- 4:30Speaker 4: get stressed. Like car Regro like, oh my god, I
- 4:33Speaker 4: can't believe I have to pay car Regro was like
- 4:35Speaker 4: it's just part of you know. That's why I put
- 4:38Speaker 4: money away, That's why I haven't you know money aside?
- 4:42Speaker 4: And yeah, I think a lot of my money attitude
- 4:45Speaker 4: is anxiety, and I just think that's just because of
- 4:49Speaker 4: my money story, like just money in my life. It's
- 4:54Speaker 4: just always been anxiety. So well, you know, we're getting there.
- 4:59Speaker 3: We'll get through that. We will work, we will work
- 5:01Speaker 3: together to get through that way. Friendly, all right. Next question,
- 5:05Speaker 3: I feel like is a bit of a slap in
- 5:07Speaker 3: the face, but I apologize in advance, And that is
- 5:11Speaker 3: what do you do for work? How much money do
- 5:13Speaker 3: you earn?
- 5:14Speaker 4: So I work in retail. Like I said, I have
- 5:17Speaker 4: just lost my job, but I've just signed a contract
- 5:21Speaker 4: with a new job, so not really a new job
- 5:23Speaker 4: that's exciting.
- 5:24Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad, I asked.
- 5:26Speaker 4: Yeah. So I was working two jobs I lost, so
- 5:30Speaker 4: I was doing four days a week with one one
- 5:31Speaker 4: day week with the other. I lost my main source
- 5:34Speaker 4: of income to my four day week job. And I've
- 5:37Speaker 4: just signed a new contract with my job that i
- 5:39Speaker 4: was working one day week. So I signed that a
- 5:43Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago, and then lockdown happened, So I
- 5:46Speaker 4: haven't really been working, but it has meant that I've
- 5:48Speaker 4: been able to claim the government benefits because I can
- 5:52Speaker 4: say that I've lost a certain amount of hours, So
- 5:55Speaker 4: it was lucky in that sense that I had signed
- 5:58Speaker 4: it just in time that I can say lost these
- 6:00Speaker 4: hours so that I can claim the centering money. Would you, especially.
- 6:06Speaker 3: During such a painful period, like you just need cash
- 6:09Speaker 3: flow to come in so that you can manage to life.
- 6:13Speaker 3: I'm so grateful to hear that. Yeah, all right. Next
- 6:17Speaker 3: big question is what is currently your big money goal?
- 6:22Speaker 4: Like everyone, I think to buy a property. I think.
- 6:25Speaker 4: I like, it's not I know it's not in the
- 6:28Speaker 4: near future for me. I definitely won't be buying until
- 6:31Speaker 4: I finish UNI. I know that I just wouldn't be
- 6:33Speaker 4: able to facilitate alone until then, even if I did
- 6:36Speaker 4: have the money to buy. So that's definitely the money
- 6:40Speaker 4: goal in the long term. Yeah, or so just to
- 6:43Speaker 4: be comfortable, like just to not have to worry about it.
- 6:47Speaker 3: I like that goal. I like that goal. I yeah,
- 6:52Speaker 3: I love that all right. So next question is do
- 6:55Speaker 3: you currently have any investments.
- 6:58Speaker 4: I don't. I mean, I have me super. So I
- 7:02Speaker 4: put twenty dollars a month into my super, which is
- 7:05Speaker 4: an investment into my retirement, and then I've got five
- 7:09Speaker 4: hundred dollars in raise, but that's it. I do have
- 7:11Speaker 4: a comset account, but I haven't invested anything yet.
- 7:14Speaker 3: Oh but you're well on the way. You've already got
- 7:16Speaker 3: money in investments.
- 7:17Speaker 2: That's super exciting, super super exciting, super exciting.
- 7:22Speaker 3: I can't sorry. I'm meant to be the penny one Tony.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Lockdown getting me good, guys, Lockdown has got me well good.
- 7:33Speaker 3: All right. Next question is do you currently have any debts.
- 7:37Speaker 4: I have a hextat, so I think that's about fifteen
- 7:41Speaker 4: thousand dollars in there now. I am obviously still in
- 7:45Speaker 4: the middle of doing my degree, so I will go up.
- 7:48Speaker 4: But I have a little bit of dirt from an
- 7:50Speaker 4: old degree that I didn't finish as well, which just
- 7:53Speaker 4: sucks because it's just, you know, wasted money. But I
- 7:56Speaker 4: for a degree that I finish.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Because you realized that you didn't want to do that,
- 8:01Speaker 2: and that's not a waste.
- 8:03Speaker 4: Yeah. It was a massive timing point in my life too,
- 8:05Speaker 4: like a huge decision. I had told everyone for like
- 8:09Speaker 4: ten years that this is what I wanted to do,
- 8:11Speaker 4: and then got there and was like, actually, this is
- 8:13Speaker 4: not right.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Can I ask what it was?
- 8:16Speaker 4: Psychology?
- 8:17Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like no, no, I would never but.
- 8:21Speaker 4: It was not you did, Victoria.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Sorry, that's why you were cagy about telling us what
- 8:27Speaker 3: degree it was.
- 8:27Speaker 4: I wanted to you a little bit. So yeah. I
- 8:30Speaker 4: mean I started that, I did about a year and
- 8:32Speaker 4: a half and just decided it wasn't my thing. I
- 8:34Speaker 4: think I stopped with it for so long because I
- 8:36Speaker 4: had been telling people for so long that it's what
- 8:38Speaker 4: I wanted to do, and I really wanted to try,
- 8:40Speaker 4: but just got to remembory. I hated it. I wasn't
- 8:43Speaker 4: doing my work because I didn't want to be there.
- 8:45Speaker 4: It just wasn't going to work. So I left and
- 8:48Speaker 4: was like, you know what, it was probably one of
- 8:50Speaker 4: the best decisions that I made, because now I'm really
- 8:52Speaker 4: doing something that I loved.
- 8:53Speaker 3: I love that, and I'm sure that there are people
- 8:57Speaker 3: listening who are currently doing degrees they don't love, but
- 8:59Speaker 3: they're like deep So to those people, would you just say,
- 9:02Speaker 3: jomb ship, nobody actually deeply cares about you changing. They're
- 9:07Speaker 3: just going to be wanting you to be happy, right.
- 9:09Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And I remember like when I wanted
- 9:12Speaker 4: to tell my family and everyone, I was like, everyone's
- 9:14Speaker 4: going to be so disappointed in me. Like, I felt
- 9:17Speaker 4: so upset about it, and I was like that, this
- 9:19Speaker 4: is my future, this is my decision. I'm wasting my
- 9:21Speaker 4: time and my money doing a degree that I don't
- 9:24Speaker 4: want nor will I use. Oh my gosh. Yeah.
- 9:27Speaker 3: Well, and everybody would have been stoked for you because
- 9:29Speaker 3: you were following what you loved and wanting to Yeah,
- 9:32Speaker 3: I'm so happy exactly.
- 9:34Speaker 4: So if you are a good decisional.
- 9:36Speaker 3: Degree, definitely think about it. Don't admit to it just
- 9:40Speaker 3: because you've already gotten this far. I feel like that's
- 9:43Speaker 3: such a negative mindset as well. And people do that
- 9:46Speaker 3: in jobs, in careers, in relationships where they're like, oh,
- 9:49Speaker 3: but we've come this far.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I've invested all this time.
- 9:53Speaker 3: Yeah, like you have, but you invested it in yourself.
- 9:57Speaker 3: Like anyway, I'm very opinionated about that. So we're going
- 10:00Speaker 3: to move on to an exciting question. Because I like
- 10:03Speaker 3: Hervy stuff. Do you shop back?
- 10:07Speaker 4: I have used it in the past, Yes, a couple
- 10:10Speaker 4: of times.
- 10:10Speaker 3: Why well where hell.
- 10:13Speaker 4: I did get some good deals. I just like a
- 10:16Speaker 4: friend recommended it to me and I was like, you
- 10:18Speaker 4: know what, I love an online shop. Why not get
- 10:20Speaker 4: money back? So yeah, I've used it.
- 10:22Speaker 2: A couple of times.
- 10:23Speaker 4: Loved it.
- 10:24Speaker 3: N Jenius. All right, moving on from good money habits
- 10:28Speaker 3: to asking you what your best money habit is. What's
- 10:31Speaker 3: your best money habit, my friend?
- 10:33Speaker 4: I think so because of you, Victoria, I put for
- 10:36Speaker 4: hours between me and my purchase. Ya. But what I
- 10:39Speaker 4: started to do is I have a list on my phone.
- 10:42Speaker 4: So every time I look at something and I, you know,
- 10:44Speaker 4: I wish list on the Iconic, I added into my
- 10:47Speaker 4: list on my phone and be like, it's a list
- 10:49Speaker 4: of things that I want but don't need. And then
- 10:51Speaker 4: I'll go through it like every week and be like,
- 10:53Speaker 4: I don't know why I wanted that, Like what part
- 10:55Speaker 4: of me actually wanted that? Yes, that's so smart, that
- 10:59Speaker 4: would be.
- 10:59Speaker 3: My I love that.
- 11:02Speaker 4: I mean, I I am like, I'm an impulsive shopper,
- 11:05Speaker 4: especially when I'm at the shops. I am an impulsive shopper.
- 11:08Speaker 4: So it's easier, like especially with online shopping, if I
- 11:11Speaker 4: can go through it and then like a week later,
- 11:13Speaker 4: I'm like, why did I even like want possessed me
- 11:16Speaker 4: to want that?
- 11:17Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, especially during lockdown, I just have this
- 11:21Speaker 3: idea in my head that I'm going to be an
- 11:23Speaker 3: entirely new person. So I put all these things in
- 11:25Speaker 3: my cart usually at night, let's be honest, and then
- 11:29Speaker 3: the next time I'm like, I would never wear that,
- 11:31Speaker 3: Like I'm definitely not cool enough for that. So I
- 11:35Speaker 3: love that idea, and I think I'll start doing that,
- 11:37Speaker 3: writing an entire list of things that I want but
- 11:40Speaker 3: don't need, and then I can kind of have a
- 11:42Speaker 3: laugh at myself later or reward myself for waiting by
- 11:45Speaker 3: actually buying it. Yeah that is good.
- 11:48Speaker 4: Yeah, such a good idea.
- 11:49Speaker 3: She's yeah, good guys. All right, So that's a great
- 11:52Speaker 3: money habit. What is your worst money habit?
- 11:56Speaker 4: I definitely think it would be the impulse shopping as
- 12:00Speaker 4: well as like my reaction afterwards. So like when I
- 12:04Speaker 4: worked in a shopping center, I would just walk around
- 12:07Speaker 4: on my lunch break and just go shopping because I could, yep,
- 12:10Speaker 4: and like because I was there, and like i'd find
- 12:12Speaker 4: something that I liked and be like, well why not
- 12:14Speaker 4: I have the money, So that was definitely like my worst.
- 12:19Speaker 4: But then it would be spending the money, justifying the
- 12:21Speaker 4: decision and then feeling anxious about it afterwards, Like it
- 12:24Speaker 4: was just a really bad cycle and I was doing
- 12:27Speaker 4: like I was spending the money because I needed that
- 12:30Speaker 4: like instant hit, like it felt good and like that
- 12:33Speaker 4: instant gratification find something. But then you know, it's like
- 12:36Speaker 4: an addiction where there's always just like a massive fall afterwards.
- 12:39Speaker 3: How did you come to the conclusion that that cycle
- 12:42Speaker 3: needed to break and how are you working towards actually
- 12:46Speaker 3: making sure its day is broken.
- 12:49Speaker 4: So I think I had a really bad relationship with
- 12:53Speaker 4: after pay and spent a lot of money through after
- 12:56Speaker 4: paid because I.
- 12:57Speaker 3: Could also relatable content.
- 13:00Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think I just you know, when COVID
- 13:02Speaker 4: hit last year and I realized I had had to
- 13:05Speaker 4: pay to pay off and no job. This was before
- 13:08Speaker 4: job Keeper, I was like, oh my god, what am
- 13:11Speaker 4: I going to do? I have no money to my name.
- 13:14Speaker 4: So mum thankfully got me out of it. She helped
- 13:18Speaker 4: me pay off my after pay. I paid her back,
- 13:21Speaker 4: but it was just really like that click moment where
- 13:23Speaker 4: you don't know what's going to happen. You don't know
- 13:24Speaker 4: when you're not going to have money and you're just
- 13:26Speaker 4: spending money that you don't have. I was living well
- 13:29Speaker 4: beyond my means, and it was really like that moment
- 13:32Speaker 4: where I was like, I can't do it anymore. I
- 13:34Speaker 4: need to you know, I'm an adult now and I
- 13:37Speaker 4: need to be I'm working for something, not for nothing.
- 13:40Speaker 4: Like I couldn't tell you what I spent all my
- 13:42Speaker 4: money on. I have no idea. So I yeah, just
- 13:45Speaker 4: really realized that I had to work towards the bigger
- 13:47Speaker 4: picture rather than just having things now.
- 13:50Speaker 3: I think that's so important to acknowledge, but also so
- 13:53Speaker 3: special that you know that now, and also really relatable
- 13:57Speaker 3: because it's one of those things that a lot of
- 14:00Speaker 3: people are like, Oh, after pay is fine, but can
- 14:02Speaker 3: I maybe ask a quick question about after pay when
- 14:05Speaker 3: you got it? Why did you sign up for it?
- 14:08Speaker 4: Like?
- 14:08Speaker 3: How did you end up on that slippery slope? Because
- 14:11Speaker 3: I talk a lot on this podcast about after pay
- 14:13Speaker 3: being a slippery slope, and so many people will say, no,
- 14:17Speaker 3: it's not like I'm a responsible person. And I can
- 14:20Speaker 3: see you right now, money Direst, and I can hear
- 14:22Speaker 3: you and from your savings capacity and what you're talking
- 14:26Speaker 3: about in your soul articulate you sound like a really
- 14:28Speaker 3: responsible person. So how did you end up on that
- 14:31Speaker 3: slippery slope? And like what was the mindset there?
- 14:36Speaker 4: I remember? So when I turned fifteen, it was literally
- 14:39Speaker 4: the day after my fifteenth birthday. My mum was like,
- 14:41Speaker 4: you have a job interview and you're going to go
- 14:43Speaker 4: and get a job so that you can, like she
- 14:45Speaker 4: said it up for me. She's like, so you can
- 14:48Speaker 4: earn money to spend it on the things that you want.
- 14:51Speaker 4: So she was like, I'm sick of paying for you
- 14:53Speaker 4: to go out to the middles and get it. Mum. Yeah,
- 14:56Speaker 4: she's like I'm over it. You know, you want to
- 14:58Speaker 4: do all these things with your school holiday, you can
- 15:00Speaker 4: fund it. And I was like okay, no worries. And
- 15:03Speaker 4: then so wait when.
- 15:05Speaker 3: Your mom said get a job and you were like okay,
- 15:07Speaker 3: no worries. Like I feel like any other teenager would
- 15:09Speaker 3: be like what the hell mom.
- 15:11Speaker 2: Well it would be like you pay for it now.
- 15:14Speaker 3: Yeah, the best thing about being a child.
- 15:18Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like an ultimatum. It was like get
- 15:21Speaker 4: a job or I'll just cut you off and you'll
- 15:23Speaker 4: have no money.
- 15:24Speaker 3: Oh okay, get the job.
- 15:25Speaker 4: Then No Roadstreet set up the job interview for me
- 15:28Speaker 4: and everything, and I was like, no worries. I'll go
- 15:31Speaker 4: like sat there like a little fifteen year old. But yeah,
- 15:34Speaker 4: so I think I had already started, like I when
- 15:38Speaker 4: I started earning money. I was earning money to spend
- 15:40Speaker 4: the money. I wasn't earning the money to save the money.
- 15:43Speaker 4: And I remember being like seventeen or something and I
- 15:45Speaker 4: needed this done and jacket, I needed it.
- 15:48Speaker 2: Oh, fair enough, I'll love a good daja.
- 15:50Speaker 4: Yep, yeah, I needed it. And I was on General
- 15:53Speaker 4: pants and this like thing popped up when I got
- 15:55Speaker 4: to the cart and it was like, you can pay
- 15:58Speaker 4: this in foreign storm and I was like what crazy?
- 16:02Speaker 4: I was like really, yeah. I was like, this is
- 16:05Speaker 4: so smart. So I didn't do it, but it was
- 16:08Speaker 4: the first time that I'd been introduced to it. So
- 16:10Speaker 4: then the next time when I went shopping, I was like,
- 16:12Speaker 4: I might as well just give it a try. So
- 16:14Speaker 4: I gave it a crack, and it's I probably shouldn't
- 16:20Speaker 4: have because it was really like you could see the
- 16:23Speaker 4: money coming out of your account in flas it felt
- 16:25Speaker 4: like you weren't spending money yea, And you know it
- 16:28Speaker 4: would come out of my account on pay day. I
- 16:29Speaker 4: would make sure that I would buy everything the day
- 16:32Speaker 4: after payday so that the installment would come out the
- 16:35Speaker 4: day after payday. And it was just like a slippery
- 16:37Speaker 4: slope like I could spend all of this money that
- 16:41Speaker 4: still have money in my account, and it just got
- 16:44Speaker 4: worse and worse to the point where like it would
- 16:46Speaker 4: be like I have like nuxed out, like I'd spend
- 16:49Speaker 4: as much as I could and be like I don't
- 16:51Speaker 4: even know what I have, Like it's like eight weeks
- 16:52Speaker 4: later and I don't know what I've bought, Like I
- 16:55Speaker 4: couldn't done paying this thing off and I don't know
- 16:57Speaker 4: what it is.
- 16:58Speaker 2: Victoria, And I've talked about this before about how changes
- 17:02Speaker 2: the way that you view money because instead of something
- 17:04Speaker 2: costing four hundred dollars, you're like, oh, that costs one
- 17:07Speaker 2: hundred dollars four times, and it actually really warps your
- 17:12Speaker 2: sense of what money is actually going out because you
- 17:15Speaker 2: can't keep track of it because in your mind, you've
- 17:18Speaker 2: tricked yourself into thinking something's only cost you one hundred dollars.
- 17:21Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly. And it's so much easier to justify
- 17:25Speaker 4: when it's like a fifty dollars payment as opposed to
- 17:27Speaker 4: like a two hundred dollar payment, so much easier to
- 17:29Speaker 4: doctor Pye, and especially when they brought out like you
- 17:32Speaker 4: could use it in stores as well, or so much
- 17:35Speaker 4: just like scam my barcode. I'll worry about it later.
- 17:38Speaker 4: It's just the convenience, like so much easier. And then
- 17:41Speaker 4: you know, it would get to pay day and I'd
- 17:42Speaker 4: have four hundred dollars coming out and nothing to show
- 17:46Speaker 4: for it.
- 17:47Speaker 3: But that's what I mean around slippery slope, like you
- 17:49Speaker 3: didn't sign up with ill intentions of getting into a
- 17:52Speaker 3: whole heap of personal debt. And you know, I know
- 17:55Speaker 3: this has taken a little bit of a sidetrack. But
- 17:57Speaker 3: if I said to you in the same vein, like, okay, direst, well,
- 18:01Speaker 3: actually would you like a personal loan so that you
- 18:04Speaker 3: can just spend that money, I'm sure the mindset would
- 18:07Speaker 3: have been different, like you would have been like, no,
- 18:09Speaker 3: don't give me a personal loan. I don't want that.
- 18:11Speaker 3: But in the same vein, that's exactly what you've done
- 18:13Speaker 3: to yourself with after pay without even realizing it.
- 18:18Speaker 4: And even like Mum raised me like being like, don't
- 18:21Speaker 4: get a credit card when you know you can't, you
- 18:24Speaker 4: can avoid it, like there's no point getting a credit card.
- 18:27Speaker 4: So it's always like I'm never going to have a
- 18:28Speaker 4: credit card, like I don't need one. I don't want
- 18:31Speaker 4: to be spending money that's not mine and on the
- 18:33Speaker 4: pay was just marketed to me as not that.
- 18:35Speaker 2: And after pay doesn't have that stigma yet of like
- 18:38Speaker 2: I would never get a credit card or I would
- 18:40Speaker 2: never get a personal loan to buy a car. You crazy, Like,
- 18:44Speaker 2: it just doesn't have that same thing as Yeah, which
- 18:48Speaker 2: is interesting because I think that in the next few years,
- 18:50Speaker 2: I'm hoping and obviously Victoria, I know that you're hoping too,
- 18:53Speaker 2: that that stigma does change and it's kind of turns
- 18:55Speaker 2: into one of those things where it's like, oh, you
- 18:57Speaker 2: use after pay in a way that you know it's
- 19:01Speaker 2: not good for you, or you know, like, if you're
- 19:03Speaker 2: good at using after pay, then that's fine. But if
- 19:06Speaker 2: you're using after pay in this way where you've maxed
- 19:09Speaker 2: it out, you don't know what, you don't have anything
- 19:11Speaker 2: to show for it. Hopefully soon people are going to
- 19:13Speaker 2: be like, oh, you're using after pay. That is so
- 19:15Speaker 2: twenty nineteen.
- 19:17Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I would love that, but I don't think
- 19:20Speaker 3: that's the way it's going. Sadly, because you know, they've
- 19:23Speaker 3: obviously just gone through this merger and they're spending a
- 19:25Speaker 3: lot of money on marketing, which really annoys me, Like
- 19:28Speaker 3: they're marketing to me is wild, Like, you know, I've
- 19:32Speaker 3: obviously got this really big platform, so I have to
- 19:34Speaker 3: be careful what I say. But at the same time,
- 19:36Speaker 3: I do think it's quite irresponsible, like where they say, yeah,
- 19:40Speaker 3: it's just a lot, and I feel like it's one
- 19:43Speaker 3: of those things that you know, over time, I hope
- 19:46Speaker 3: that we can create that. I don't want to say
- 19:48Speaker 3: I want to create a stigma, but I want people
- 19:50Speaker 3: to understand it because the amount of times I've spoken
- 19:53Speaker 3: to even clients of mine and I say, you know,
- 19:56Speaker 3: go through their fact find in my financial advice meetings,
- 19:59Speaker 3: and I go, oh, Tony, do you have any debts?
- 20:01Speaker 3: And they go, oh no, no, no, like do you
- 20:03Speaker 3: have any credit cards? Oh no, I'd never have a
- 20:05Speaker 3: credit card. And then you go, okay, cool, I after pay, zippay,
- 20:08Speaker 3: any of those things. Oh yeah, I have after pay
- 20:10Speaker 3: and I have Zippay. And you go, you do have debt,
- 20:13Speaker 3: like you do and they're like, no, no, no, it's
- 20:15Speaker 3: not debts just after pay. You're like, oh, okay, it's
- 20:18Speaker 3: still there. It's still debt.
- 20:19Speaker 4: Babs. Yeah.
- 20:20Speaker 3: But at the same time, you go, I can understand
- 20:23Speaker 3: why you don't see it that way, because it's never
- 20:25Speaker 3: been marketed to you in that way, and you know
- 20:28Speaker 3: that's where a lot of people are getting in trouble with,
- 20:30Speaker 3: like mortgage brokers and stuff. I could go on about
- 20:32Speaker 3: this for ages, and I do in a number of
- 20:33Speaker 3: our other podcasts. So let's leave it there and move
- 20:37Speaker 3: on to the next question, my friend, and that is
- 20:40Speaker 3: the question to wrap this segment, and it is what
- 20:43Speaker 3: grade would you give yourself? If I forced you to
- 20:45Speaker 3: give your money habits a.
- 20:46Speaker 4: Grade, I'd probably give myself a being minus. I think
- 20:51Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm definitely ten bog like last year it
- 20:55Speaker 4: would have been like an F whereas like, I have
- 20:58Speaker 4: consistent money habits are good money habits and I can
- 21:03Speaker 4: save my money now. And yeah, I definitely think of
- 21:06Speaker 4: being minus. Still things that I need to work on,
- 21:08Speaker 4: still need to stop impost shopping when I get bored,
- 21:11Speaker 4: But you know I have created better money habits for
- 21:14Speaker 4: myself definitely within the past year.
- 21:19Speaker 5: Look at that growth, Tony from an Like, if I
- 21:23Speaker 5: had a kid and they were at school and they
- 21:25Speaker 5: failed something one year and then the next year they
- 21:27Speaker 5: were a B minus, like I would one thousand percent
- 21:30Speaker 5: let them have backs for dinner.
- 21:31Speaker 3: I'd be like, all right, we're going to MACS. We're
- 21:33Speaker 3: getting drive through on the way home. I don't know
- 21:36Speaker 3: how else your parents treated you, but like that was
- 21:38Speaker 3: totally a treat for.
- 21:41Speaker 4: When they used to flurry them properly.
- 21:43Speaker 2: Yes, they do have anymore.
- 21:46Speaker 4: No, they just put the Eminem's on.
- 21:48Speaker 3: I'm under the assumption that a mcfluury now is a
- 21:51Speaker 3: poorly packaged Sunday and.
- 21:54Speaker 2: Not even as good as a proper Sunday, do you
- 21:56Speaker 2: know what I mean?
- 21:57Speaker 3: Yeah, because like you could get a Sunday and get
- 22:00Speaker 3: them to put the M and m's on it in addition,
- 22:02Speaker 3: and that's instantly better than whatever they're calling a mcflurry that.
- 22:06Speaker 2: You go to Kohl's and buy EM and m's right
- 22:09Speaker 2: for like what three or four dollars, and you could
- 22:12Speaker 2: go and get a McDonald's fifty cent cone for yes,
- 22:17Speaker 2: and you could dip it into the bag of Eminem's.
- 22:21Speaker 3: Smarter to me, why are we smarter? And you know what,
- 22:24Speaker 3: while we're on the mcflurry train, I don't even eat mcfluurri's,
- 22:27Speaker 3: but my partner does. And the audacity they have to
- 22:30Speaker 3: still give you those spoons that connect to the machine
- 22:34Speaker 3: to do they don't mix it. Just give you a
- 22:37Speaker 3: normal spoon, my friend. This is that's wild. Anyway, we'll
- 22:41Speaker 3: chat more about mcfluury's after this quick break. All right,
- 22:49Speaker 3: So money darist, we've been through after pay. We've spoken
- 22:51Speaker 3: about mcfluury's very important. We have also spoken about how
- 22:55Speaker 3: you've had epic personal growth over the last twelve months,
- 22:58Speaker 3: which I am so wild proud of you for. But
- 23:01Speaker 3: it would be really remiss to not touch on the
- 23:03Speaker 3: fact that you've gone through three really really big events
- 23:07Speaker 3: in a very short period of time, which I think
- 23:10Speaker 3: is so important to talk about. So let's start with
- 23:13Speaker 3: the first one, which I think is the biggest and
- 23:15Speaker 3: arguably most traumatic one, and that is your dad passing away.
- 23:19Speaker 3: So how have you gotten through that? It's only recent
- 23:23Speaker 3: But also you mentioned you have a massive inheritance. How
- 23:26Speaker 3: are you mentally dealing with that? Because it's everything all
- 23:29Speaker 3: at once.
- 23:31Speaker 4: Yeah, it is everything all at once, and you know,
- 23:34Speaker 4: I think it came as a massive shock. My relationship
- 23:37Speaker 4: with Dad was never easy, it was you know, never
- 23:40Speaker 4: really great, so I think that also came the whole
- 23:44Speaker 4: heap of different emotions when he passed as well. For sure,
- 23:47Speaker 4: like a lot of I was a guilt, a lot
- 23:50Speaker 4: of guilt for not being as present as you know,
- 23:54Speaker 4: I kind of wish that I was in hindsight, you know,
- 23:57Speaker 4: my brother and I made a sound decision by you know,
- 24:02Speaker 4: keeping our relationship as it was, but it was it's
- 24:06Speaker 4: never going to be easy when a parent passes away,
- 24:08Speaker 4: regardless of your relationship with them. And it was a
- 24:11Speaker 4: massive shock. It took a really long time to actually
- 24:16Speaker 4: process it. Like I mean, I found out I want
- 24:18Speaker 4: to work the next day because I was like, I
- 24:20Speaker 4: don't want to sit at home and you know, deal
- 24:22Speaker 4: with my emotions. And I was like, I'm just going
- 24:24Speaker 4: to go to work and just avoid it. And I
- 24:27Speaker 4: think once we had to go to his house and
- 24:29Speaker 4: pack up his things, it was really like, Okay, I
- 24:32Speaker 4: have to deal with this. This has happened. My brother
- 24:34Speaker 4: needs me. We have so much that we have to
- 24:37Speaker 4: deal with. Like I'm twenty two, Like I've never planned
- 24:39Speaker 4: a funeral in my life. Like, you know, it was
- 24:42Speaker 4: a lot. It was a lot to deal with, and
- 24:45Speaker 4: it was something that you don't expect to deal with,
- 24:48Speaker 4: Like you never anticipate that that's going to happen, unless you,
- 24:51Speaker 4: you know, have a terminally ill parent, like it was
- 24:54Speaker 4: a it was a shock, Like it was a massive shock.
- 24:57Speaker 4: I think that's why it took a little bit longer
- 24:59Speaker 4: to comprehend.
- 25:01Speaker 3: To ask another question. It wasn't something that you guys
- 25:04Speaker 3: had anticipated, Like he wasn't sick for a really long
- 25:07Speaker 3: time and you guys had been preparing for it. It
- 25:09Speaker 3: was just like completely out of the blue.
- 25:11Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, completely king.
- 25:14Speaker 3: No, there's no way to, you know, say like, oh,
- 25:17Speaker 3: I'm so sorry, and there's no better or worse because Tony,
- 25:20Speaker 3: you've been through this, your mom passed away and you
- 25:24Speaker 3: had that. I guess you could call it warning time,
- 25:26Speaker 3: but it doesn't make it any easier or any different,
- 25:29Speaker 3: and like there's no better way, is there.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Like it's hard because it's one of those things where
- 25:35Speaker 2: people say, like, oh, my parent or friend has died
- 25:40Speaker 2: really suddenly, and I wish I had a chance to
- 25:42Speaker 2: say goodbye. But then also when you've got eleven months
- 25:46Speaker 2: to kind of work yourself up to saying goodbye, like
- 25:49Speaker 2: that neither is good, neither is better than the other,
- 25:51Speaker 2: and it's just it's it's really hard, and like this
- 25:56Speaker 2: has all been so recent for you, so I can
- 25:58Speaker 2: I can you know there's so much still for you
- 26:02Speaker 2: to learn from it and to grow. And obviously I'm devs.
- 26:06Speaker 2: My mum and I are really really close. I have
- 26:09Speaker 2: very close family, and that has changed me so much.
- 26:13Speaker 2: But I was nineteen, so I was your brother's age
- 26:15Speaker 2: where my mom passed away, and there's so many reasons
- 26:19Speaker 2: for me to be really grateful for that, because I've
- 26:21Speaker 2: learned so much and I wouldn't be the way that
- 26:24Speaker 2: I am now if that hadn't have happened. And obviously,
- 26:28Speaker 2: being a finance podcast, I guess one of my questions
- 26:32Speaker 2: would be, given that you said that you have a
- 26:34Speaker 2: lot of anxiety around around your money, I'm sure that
- 26:37Speaker 2: this has impacted it a lot, but do you feel
- 26:41Speaker 2: like it's made it scarier because you've kind of lost
- 26:44Speaker 2: another part of something that was kind of like that
- 26:46Speaker 2: stability of you know, oh, you just think that that's
- 26:49Speaker 2: always going to be there. You don't expect that your
- 26:52Speaker 2: parents are going to pass away, especially so young, So
- 26:55Speaker 2: do you feel like that's added to the pressure you
- 26:58Speaker 2: put on yourself to do better with your money and
- 27:00Speaker 2: do better at life and things like that.
- 27:04Speaker 4: I think my dad's relationship with money was always a
- 27:08Speaker 4: little bit fragile too, And I think that given the
- 27:11Speaker 4: amount of money that we you know, will inherit, you
- 27:16Speaker 4: kind of just want to do justice to that money,
- 27:18Speaker 4: like you don't want it to go to waste, and
- 27:20Speaker 4: you want it to be something that you know, you
- 27:24Speaker 4: value and spend properly, you know, spends sensibly.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Which is a lot of pressure too because you're like, oh,
- 27:32Speaker 2: my god, would he approve of what I'm doing?
- 27:34Speaker 4: And yeah, yeah, and I think he would approve of
- 27:38Speaker 4: it anyway we spend the money like he's you know,
- 27:41Speaker 4: he would really support whatever we wanted to do. And
- 27:44Speaker 4: you know, like I said, our relationship was never great,
- 27:47Speaker 4: so I truly think that he just wanted us to
- 27:51Speaker 4: be happy. And you know, if it's the next best
- 27:53Speaker 4: thing that we have this money and we can make
- 27:55Speaker 4: something out of it, then you know, that's what we're
- 27:58Speaker 4: going to have to do. So for sure, Yeah, definitely
- 28:00Speaker 4: need to be sensible about it and respect you know
- 28:03Speaker 4: that we've come into this money. We haven't earned it,
- 28:07Speaker 4: you know, and we would give it all back if
- 28:08Speaker 4: we caught it, but we can't. So yeah, and I
- 28:11Speaker 4: have to do something good with it.
- 28:12Speaker 3: I think that's really special. And before when we were
- 28:15Speaker 3: off air, you said something that your mom told you
- 28:18Speaker 3: that was really special, and I think that I would
- 28:21Speaker 3: love you to share that just because I know that
- 28:24Speaker 3: you're not the only one going through this. A lot
- 28:26Speaker 3: of people listen to this podcast and either going through this,
- 28:29Speaker 3: are going to go through this. And what did your
- 28:32Speaker 3: mom say about the money?
- 28:34Speaker 4: So mum, you know when she caught me and told me,
- 28:37Speaker 4: she said, you know, your relationship with your dad has
- 28:39Speaker 4: never been easy, and this is his way now of
- 28:42Speaker 4: being able to take care of you and you know,
- 28:45Speaker 4: help you through your future. And that's you know, you
- 28:48Speaker 4: have to do good with the money because you know
- 28:50Speaker 4: this is his way of looking after you.
- 28:53Speaker 3: And I think that's really really special. Like that's one
- 28:56Speaker 3: of those things that a lot of people when it
- 28:59Speaker 3: comes to inherit feel a lot of guilt, but also
- 29:03Speaker 3: don't think that, Okay, yup, this is really terrible. But
- 29:08Speaker 3: that person's probably super proud if they were able to
- 29:11Speaker 3: understand what was going on now to have set you
- 29:14Speaker 3: up and to actually have an impact in your life
- 29:17Speaker 3: in a really positive way because they can't be there.
- 29:21Speaker 3: And I think that that's, Yeah, it's just a really
- 29:23Speaker 3: kind way of looking at it. And you know, it
- 29:25Speaker 3: changes the guilt because a lot of people are like,
- 29:28Speaker 3: oh my gosh, like I don't deserve this, or you know,
- 29:30Speaker 3: as you were saying before, I didn't have a good
- 29:32Speaker 3: relationship with my dad and now I feel awful because
- 29:35Speaker 3: I'm benefiting from it. But that person would be so
- 29:39Speaker 3: proud to know that they've had such a positive impact
- 29:42Speaker 3: on your life and putting you so far ahead. So
- 29:45Speaker 3: it's one of those things where, yeah, we have a
- 29:47Speaker 3: lot of guilt and a lot of work that I
- 29:49Speaker 3: do with my clients. And I've said before, I actually
- 29:52Speaker 3: work in this space, and you know, at my financial
- 29:55Speaker 3: advice business, most of my clients are inheritance clients. We
- 29:59Speaker 3: actually end up doing a lot of work beforehand. And
- 30:02Speaker 3: I guess that's where my psychology degree comes into play,
- 30:05Speaker 3: because I don't want any of my clients or friends
- 30:07Speaker 3: or even family to feel ever guilty about that because
- 30:10Speaker 3: nobody deserves to carry that burden. So like it's important
- 30:14Speaker 3: to work through that before you even think about investing it,
- 30:16Speaker 3: because nobody wants to carry that. But moving on from that,
- 30:21Speaker 3: you've also gone through a relationship breakdown during this period
- 30:24Speaker 3: of time. How has that impacted you financially, emotionally, like
- 30:29Speaker 3: that's just playing stacks on.
- 30:31Speaker 4: Yeah. I think when it first happened, my relationship with
- 30:37Speaker 4: money and my ex boyfriend's relationship with money was completely different,
- 30:41Speaker 4: Like he was so diligent with his money, so careful,
- 30:45Speaker 4: was so good with it, and I obviously wasn't for
- 30:48Speaker 4: a really long time. And I think he really taught
- 30:52Speaker 4: me a lot about money and like a lot of
- 30:56Speaker 4: the importance about having it and what to do with
- 31:00Speaker 4: it and you know, making them most out of it.
- 31:04Speaker 4: But when we broke up, I was like, oh my god,
- 31:07Speaker 4: I can spend whatever I want and not have to
- 31:11Speaker 4: answer to anyone, Like it's my money, I can do
- 31:14Speaker 4: whatever I want with it, and got really excited, went
- 31:16Speaker 4: on like a little bit of a shopping binge, and
- 31:18Speaker 4: I could like I acknowledge what I was doing. I
- 31:21Speaker 4: knew what I was doing, and I knew why I
- 31:23Speaker 4: was doing it, and it felt good at the time,
- 31:25Speaker 4: and you know, I don't regret it. I bought some
- 31:27Speaker 4: of my things, but.
- 31:29Speaker 3: Personal grow it's historically you would have felt really anxious,
- 31:32Speaker 3: but now she's like, yeah, I'm going to treat myself.
- 31:34Speaker 3: I deserve this.
- 31:36Speaker 2: I love that you probably also would have spent way more. Yeah,
- 31:40Speaker 2: like like, given that you're being a bit more mindful,
- 31:42Speaker 2: You're like, I'm doing this because I want to do
- 31:45Speaker 2: it and it's going to make me feel nice, and
- 31:47Speaker 2: you actually enjoyed it, rather than binging and then feeling
- 31:50Speaker 2: awful about it later and looking at a bank account
- 31:52Speaker 2: and going, oh my god, I really wish I didn't
- 31:54Speaker 2: do that.
- 31:55Speaker 4: Exactly. Yeah, absolutely so, I mean it was it was
- 31:58Speaker 4: a weird couple of weeks that it's you know, my
- 32:03Speaker 4: he taught me a lot about money and I you know,
- 32:06Speaker 4: really helped change my mindset about it. So I could
- 32:09Speaker 4: never thank him enough for it. And I just know that,
- 32:11Speaker 4: you know, I have a better mindset about money now
- 32:14Speaker 4: because of him.
- 32:15Speaker 3: Oh I love that.
- 32:17Speaker 2: That's It's really nice that you can take that away.
- 32:19Speaker 3: Yeah, it's such a gracious thing to say about a relationship,
- 32:23Speaker 3: because I feel like so often people want to diss
- 32:26Speaker 3: their exes and you know, not acknowledge that, Yeah, cool,
- 32:30Speaker 3: this relationship isn't serving us anymore. But that doesn't make
- 32:32Speaker 3: either of us bad people, and it doesn't mean that
- 32:35Speaker 3: I didn't get anything out of that. That's actually a
- 32:38Speaker 3: really beautiful way of looking at it. On top of
- 32:41Speaker 3: all of this, my friend, you lost your job?
- 32:45Speaker 4: I sure did.
- 32:46Speaker 3: How did this all happen? Was like, and which order
- 32:49Speaker 3: did this happen in? Because I just feel like at
- 32:52Speaker 3: one point you are you know what, whatever, I don't
- 32:55Speaker 3: like take it. I don't even need that job, see
- 32:58Speaker 3: your job? See you know, well I saw this coming.
- 33:01Speaker 3: But yeah, how did that all happen? Like what was
- 33:04Speaker 3: the process of these events? And you know, how did
- 33:08Speaker 3: you feel in that moment knowing, Oh my gosh, I
- 33:11Speaker 3: don't have that income and what am I going to
- 33:14Speaker 3: do about it?
- 33:16Speaker 4: Yeah? So the business I was working for was like,
- 33:20Speaker 4: I mean, I could see it going downhill, and I
- 33:23Speaker 4: knew that it wasn't gonna last a lot longer, so
- 33:27Speaker 4: I hadn't already prepared myself for it. So Dad had
- 33:32Speaker 4: died at the end of May. I got a call
- 33:34Speaker 4: mid June from my manager and she was like, look like,
- 33:37Speaker 4: I'm really sorry, but we're closing down the store. And
- 33:40Speaker 4: I was like, it's fine, Like I kind of I
- 33:43Speaker 4: kind of knew it was coming. Like it sucked, but
- 33:47Speaker 4: at least I had a little bit of time before
- 33:49Speaker 4: they closed the store to find another job. But it
- 33:51Speaker 4: was really like, oh my god, like another thing that
- 33:55Speaker 4: I have to worry about, something else I have to
- 33:57Speaker 4: think about. So you know, it's I you know, could
- 34:01Speaker 4: see it coming, but it's still sucked, and it was
- 34:03Speaker 4: still super stressful, Like it was my main thought of income,
- 34:06Speaker 4: and I'd been working there for four years, like I
- 34:09Speaker 4: had made friends for life there, so it was really
- 34:12Speaker 4: it was it sucked a bit, you know, it was
- 34:14Speaker 4: time for a new beginning. Anyway, I had been there
- 34:17Speaker 4: since the store opened. I was closing the store. I
- 34:19Speaker 4: had been there, you know, the whole time, So it
- 34:22Speaker 4: was it was a good way to go out. I think.
- 34:24Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds really traumatic though, to have gone through
- 34:28Speaker 3: that and then recently broke up with your partner or
- 34:31Speaker 3: was that during this that happened?
- 34:34Speaker 4: So we broke up at the beginning of July, so
- 34:36Speaker 4: it was like May dad died, June I lost my job,
- 34:39Speaker 4: and then July we broke up. So it was really
- 34:41Speaker 4: like you said in threes, and it was really like
- 34:44Speaker 4: by the end of it, it was like what else,
- 34:46Speaker 4: what else?
- 34:48Speaker 3: What else?
- 34:49Speaker 4: Nothing else to do.
- 34:51Speaker 3: I'm so sorry that you've gone through all of this.
- 34:53Speaker 3: But the thing I'm really impressed with is actually your mindset.
- 34:56Speaker 3: And we're really lucky Tony that today we are recording online,
- 35:01Speaker 3: which means we can actually see you and you're a
- 35:04Speaker 3: super happy looking, glowy person. And I'm like, you went
- 35:07Speaker 3: through all of that and you're still so beautiful and
- 35:09Speaker 3: glowy and happy. And I think it's one of those
- 35:12Speaker 3: things that you never know what someone's going through, regardless
- 35:16Speaker 3: of what they look like. And that's why we always
- 35:18Speaker 3: need to be super kind, regardless of you know, the
- 35:21Speaker 3: situation or what we know or what we don't know.
- 35:25Speaker 3: And I'm just so I'm so grateful that I got
- 35:28Speaker 3: to have this chat with you and share all of
- 35:30Speaker 3: this with you, because it's a very interesting money story,
- 35:34Speaker 3: from having four hundred dollars in your account all the
- 35:37Speaker 3: way to saving twenty thousand dollars and now you know
- 35:40Speaker 3: inheritance is a very big part of your money story
- 35:43Speaker 3: and will be going forward. But your mindset towards that
- 35:46Speaker 3: is so positive, and a new relationship, a new life
- 35:50Speaker 3: for you is a head.
- 35:51Speaker 4: I think, yeah, a clean sight, Yeah yeah, And I
- 35:55Speaker 4: think yeah, Like I said, the universe wants me to
- 35:57Speaker 4: be out of my comfort zone and experience things that
- 35:59Speaker 4: I otherwise would have so yeah.
- 36:02Speaker 2: You know what I'm about to do?
- 36:04Speaker 3: What are you going to do?
- 36:05Speaker 2: So I feel like this is a really nice place
- 36:07Speaker 2: to leave it for today. But I'm about to mark
- 36:09Speaker 2: a year from today in my calendar and we'll get
