  Hello! Sophie and Vic here. Hi! Now we are sorry to say that we're taking a week's
• 0:07
  break. We've just had a very large Christmas, spent lots of money and time on things that
• 0:13
  we probably shouldn't have. So we're just going to have a week off before we come back
• 0:16
  with a new episode. Lots of eating, lots of festive activities. I mean I don't know about
• 0:21
  you but I've spent honestly, probably more money in the last month than I have in the entire
• 0:25
  year. Like it's quite terrifying. Would you say you've overextended your waistline
• 0:28
  and your bank balance? Yes, you say what. And I actually refuse to be here next year
• 0:33
  Vic. This is the year that I put myself into shape. I love it. Both my abs come back and
• 0:37
  my bank account looks a little bit less scary. I need some help honestly, like budgeting,
• 0:43
  saving, investing, you've got to help me. Do you look at your spending and see what
• 0:47
  you're spending and figure out how to say? No, I don't, because it freaks me out. It's
• 0:51
  like every Sunday when I've shouted every on shots at the bar and I'm like, oh my god,
• 0:55
  I'm too scared to look. Like I actually haven't logged post-trussiness. Well, hopefully for
• 1:01
  2022, we'll get you back. Things are looking up. Things are being financially fit.
• 1:04
  Take me to Pilates. So we're coming back on the fifth of January,
• 1:09
  for episode five. And we're going to be talking about Buy Now Pay Later, which is very appropriate
• 1:16
  this time of year and I'm sure many people are very guilty of using it. It would suck if you've
• 1:20
  bought all your Christmas presents on Buy Now Pay Later and then you get slapped with your
• 1:25
  bill in January, wouldn't it? Oh, totally. And you can constantly paying for it in weeks to come,
• 1:29
  which I think we're all guilty because what you do is you buy thinking, well, I get to pay
• 1:34
  this over X amount of time so it doesn't feel like you're spending as much, but you end up spending
• 1:38
  more. Yeah, totally. That's the whole idea of it is that you can spend more now and pay for it
• 1:43
  later. Totally caught in the trap. What are we learning about though? Is it going to be from a
• 1:47
  customer or an investing standpoint? From both and why and the pros and cons of both of being
• 1:52
  a customer of Buy Now Pay Later and being an investor in Buy Now Pay Later. Because it's a massive
• 1:56
  trend, isn't it? It's a huge trend and that's what we want to look for when we're investing is
• 2:00
  is those those trends. So it's how to not spend money and also how to earn money. How to make
• 2:06
  money? Exactly. Woo. Okay, so we'll be back on the fifth of Jan and we hope you have a great new
• 2:11
  year. Thanks everyone. Bye. Bye.
