Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Just before we get started, we'd like to acknowledge and
- 0:03Speaker 1: pay respect to Australia's Aboriginal and torrest Rate islander people's.
- 0:07Speaker 1: They're the traditional custodians of the lands, the waterways and
- 0:10Speaker 1: the skies all across Australia.
- 0:12Speaker 2: We thank you for sharing and for caring for the
- 0:14Speaker 2: land on which we are able to learn.
- 0:17Speaker 1: We pay respects to elders past and present, and we
- 0:19Speaker 1: share our friendship and our kindness.
- 0:22Speaker 3: She's on the Money, She's on the Money.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to She's on the Money, the podcast
- 0:48Speaker 1: for millennials who want financial freedom. Guys, Today is Friday,
- 0:52Speaker 1: which means it is time to sit back with the
- 0:55Speaker 1: girls and Glenn James with a bev in hand, to
- 0:58Speaker 1: unpack our favorite mode of the week, and of course
- 1:02Speaker 1: to celebrate you the incredible She's on the Money community.
- 1:05Speaker 1: As always, we're going to be sharing our favorite money wins.
- 1:08Speaker 1: We're going to be discussing what's making news in the
- 1:10Speaker 1: finance world, and we're going to be helping with a
- 1:13Speaker 1: hand from our friend Glenn James.
- 1:14Speaker 2: High Glenn, welcome to the show.
- 1:16Speaker 4: Hello.
- 1:17Speaker 1: We're going to be answering some juicy money questions which
- 1:20Speaker 1: this week. We have no idea what they're about. Anna
- 1:22Speaker 1: Lisa's just going to drop them in and surprise.
- 1:23Speaker 4: Us with them.
- 1:24Speaker 1: So before we get there, first, let's recap the week
- 1:28Speaker 1: that was Miss Jess Garci, who looks wildly underprepared because
- 1:32Speaker 1: she thought I wouldn't be so speedy with this intro.
- 1:35Speaker 2: What happened this week on Money Diary.
- 1:38Speaker 5: This week's Money Diarist and a little content warning here,
- 1:40Speaker 5: we're going to talk about assault was a little heavy one,
- 1:44Speaker 5: but I think it was really important and we got
- 1:45Speaker 5: some great feedback because our diarist was unfortunately the victim
- 1:49Speaker 5: of a crime, which is really really horrible. But she
- 1:52Speaker 5: spoke about some resources that are available in some financial
- 1:55Speaker 5: aid that is available to people who do undergo crimes
- 1:59Speaker 5: and assaults things like that to help you get your
- 2:01Speaker 5: life back on track. So I think she said she
- 2:03Speaker 5: used it in the interim she was at UNI and working,
- 2:06Speaker 5: and obviously when you go through a trauma, you can't
- 2:10Speaker 5: just kind of pick up your life and go about
- 2:12Speaker 5: as you need that. No, you need time and you
- 2:15Speaker 5: need to be able to look after yourself. So she
- 2:16Speaker 5: spoke about that resource. And we had a DM from
- 2:18Speaker 5: a girl this morning actually who said, I didn't know
- 2:21Speaker 5: that was a thing, and I have recently been a victim.
- 2:23Speaker 5: Thank you so much because I'm going to go look
- 2:26Speaker 5: into that.
- 2:27Speaker 2: I was so worth it, even for just her, And that's.
- 2:29Speaker 5: The thing, Like, it was so powerful. It was something
- 2:31Speaker 5: that I didn't know exist cit either. So I'm so
- 2:33Speaker 5: grateful to her for being so open and willing to
- 2:36Speaker 5: share about something that would have been incredibly difficult to share.
- 2:39Speaker 1: It was really kind the trust she had in our
- 2:42Speaker 1: community to share such I guess an intimate story that's
- 2:46Speaker 1: just really special.
- 2:47Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's already had an impact on someone, so
- 2:50Speaker 5: she can feel good knowing that she did that, which
- 2:52Speaker 5: is amazing.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Week off to a very good start, jess. I.
- 2:56Speaker 6: It's funny because I knew that I was going to
- 2:58Speaker 6: come in and have a drinks. I'm like, oh, maybe
- 3:01Speaker 6: I should listen to.
- 3:02Speaker 2: The would have money really good research.
- 3:06Speaker 6: Yeah that's right, because I'm very prepared. But I saw
- 3:09Speaker 6: the topic and I saw the warning and I actually
- 3:13Speaker 6: didn't listen to it. But I would say for someone
- 3:17Speaker 6: to share around that topic publicly, that's just amazing because
- 3:21Speaker 6: for me personally, it's it really affects me and I
- 3:27Speaker 6: don't know why.
- 3:28Speaker 4: But I can't just.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Assume that content in an easy way.
- 3:32Speaker 6: All that to say, and I'm getting weird talking about it, Like,
- 3:36Speaker 6: I think you're a champion for coming in and sharing
- 3:38Speaker 6: that story and if it does encourage other people to
- 3:43Speaker 6: speak out or whatever, Yeah, it's just wild.
- 3:47Speaker 2: That's so important.
- 3:48Speaker 1: It's also why we always like to make sure we're
- 3:50Speaker 1: super clear with our content and trigger warnings, because money
- 3:54Speaker 1: diaries can get really deep, really quickly, because we're asking, well,
- 3:57Speaker 1: what's your money story, what's your background? Tell us about you,
- 4:00Speaker 1: share your story and your journey. And when we organized
- 4:03Speaker 1: this money diary, we found ourselves in a position where
- 4:06Speaker 1: we didn't actually know that was part of her money
- 4:08Speaker 1: story until we started talking to her and learning a
- 4:11Speaker 1: bit about her and we were talking about debt and
- 4:13Speaker 1: how she got out of that debt, and she was like, oh,
- 4:16Speaker 1: well actually, And it was really nice that she was
- 4:18Speaker 1: so open and honest, and we obviously go back and
- 4:20Speaker 1: add the warnings, but there are heaps of people like
- 4:23Speaker 1: you were like, oh, look, I really know that this
- 4:25Speaker 1: is important. I so support it, but right now I'm
- 4:28Speaker 1: on my commute to work. I don't have the capacity
- 4:31Speaker 1: to carry that load right now and I think that's
- 4:33Speaker 1: totally okay.
- 4:35Speaker 4: Yeah, so good on you money dires.
- 4:37Speaker 2: But let's move on.
- 4:38Speaker 1: That was a very good start to the week, Miss Jessicaraci,
- 4:42Speaker 1: Geking on TUA, Who's I guess on tour?
- 4:44Speaker 2: You're coming in remote from COVID central. This is so weird.
- 4:48Speaker 7: I'm in isolation because Harts has COVID again twice in
- 4:53Speaker 7: three mice. Also, be careful out there, everyone, I'm lucky.
- 4:58Speaker 2: Here, should go buy a lotto ticket? Well, I mean,
- 5:02Speaker 2: Georgia King. What happened on our Wednesday deep dive?
- 5:05Speaker 7: So on Wednesday V we went deep into ethical investing,
- 5:10Speaker 7: so we spoke about what it is, how to do it,
- 5:13Speaker 7: and why, Like what is ethical to one person isn't
- 5:16Speaker 7: necessarily ethical to another. So we have done an episode
- 5:20Speaker 7: on this before, so it was it was nice to
- 5:22Speaker 7: go back into it because we still had so many
- 5:24Speaker 7: questions and hopefully in this episode we answered them.
- 5:27Speaker 1: We will continue to flog the dead horse, which is
- 5:29Speaker 1: ethical investing. I'm not going to get off that high
- 5:32Speaker 1: horse either, dead horse high horse. I think I meant
- 5:35Speaker 1: something different. We're going to move on, but Glenn James,
- 5:37Speaker 1: you've joined us to hang out on the Friday Drinks
- 5:39Speaker 1: episode because you're in Melbourne and we're like, well we're
- 5:41Speaker 1: recording our pod, you may as well come whatever. But
- 5:44Speaker 1: those of you who don't know Glenn, James heat runs
- 5:46Speaker 1: My Millennial Money, an equally good questionable money podcast. But Glenn,
- 5:52Speaker 1: when it comes to ethical investing, what's your stance?
- 5:54Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 5:55Speaker 6: I think Georgia you said it perfect. I'm looking at
- 5:58Speaker 6: her and she's not looking at me, but whatever she's looking,
- 6:02Speaker 6: it's really important to understand. And this is the trouble
- 6:05Speaker 6: I have, Like with our group of people, what is
- 6:09Speaker 6: ethical to you might not be ethical to somebody else.
- 6:12Speaker 6: And you know, would you rather invest in a coal
- 6:16Speaker 6: mining company or a bank or a big social network
- 6:19Speaker 6: that minds data with a blue logo. I mean, you've
- 6:24Speaker 6: just got to make that choice based on your own values.
- 6:28Speaker 6: But I will say, you know, the more you screen,
- 6:32Speaker 6: the less options you will end up having. So there's
- 6:35Speaker 6: got to be this tipping point. And actually I should
- 6:38Speaker 6: introduce you. We had a guest on our show, Kate
- 6:41Speaker 6: Howard from Fidelity, and they took a different view with
- 6:45Speaker 6: this whole thing, and they were talking about this impact
- 6:48Speaker 6: investing and they had the view that look, we represent
- 6:52Speaker 6: a lot of money, so we want to actually lean
- 6:55Speaker 6: into these companies and have a seat at the boardroom
- 6:58Speaker 6: table to say no, we still want to invest with
- 7:03Speaker 6: your company. You need to make these changes all will
- 7:06Speaker 6: take our money elsewhere.
- 7:07Speaker 4: So I love that.
- 7:09Speaker 6: It's a really good view that, Yeah, we just need
- 7:11Speaker 6: to be more understanding about what it is. I used
- 7:15Speaker 6: to think mining equals bad, equals unethical, but no, you
- 7:19Speaker 6: need to mine stuff to make steel to put in
- 7:22Speaker 6: wind turbines, for example, So yes, fossil fuel burning equals bad,
- 7:27Speaker 6: that mining doesn't necessarily equal bad.
- 7:30Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think it's all about education and understanding it. Yes,
- 7:33Speaker 1: I would, by the way, than introduction and we'll get
- 7:36Speaker 1: them on the show and have a chat about that,
- 7:37Speaker 1: because that episode had so much feedback and just so
- 7:41Speaker 1: much chatter surrounding it of people having further questions, and
- 7:44Speaker 1: I just think it's not a conversation we're done having.
- 7:46Speaker 5: Ethinic also really big umbrella term as well, and you
- 7:48Speaker 5: guys break down on that podcast ethical versus sustainable versus impact,
- 7:52Speaker 5: because I think people often confuse the three and think
- 7:55Speaker 5: that ethical lenders must be all of it, when actually
- 7:57Speaker 5: it's like a facet of you know, the different ways
- 8:00Speaker 5: that you can structure your portfolio in line with your value.
- 8:02Speaker 5: So while with a listen, I found that one really
- 8:04Speaker 5: interesting personally.
- 8:05Speaker 1: And Glenn, I know you didn't listen to it because
- 8:07Speaker 1: you don't need to listen to our episodes. But we
- 8:10Speaker 1: also spoke about like greenwashing and you know how spicy
- 8:14Speaker 1: that can be. And Glenn and I we have lots
- 8:15Speaker 1: of offline conversations sending screenshots back and forth of different
- 8:19Speaker 1: companies who are saying things that we're like, ah, that's
- 8:21Speaker 1: a little bit off, but whatever. Greenwashing is such a
- 8:25Speaker 1: massive thing in that space. And what I said on
- 8:28Speaker 1: the podcast was that it's not like the organic sticker
- 8:30Speaker 1: where you go into the supermarket and there's a little
- 8:32Speaker 1: organic sticker on the apple and you know that it's
- 8:35Speaker 1: GMO certified and all of these other things because it's
- 8:37Speaker 1: met the criteria in Australia to be an organic apple,
- 8:41Speaker 1: Whereas with an ethical platform, it's like they can use
- 8:45Speaker 1: whatever words they want. There's actually no criteria that globally
- 8:48Speaker 1: they need to meet unless you're looking at things that
- 8:51Speaker 1: are ESG and ESG is a completely different Paul game. Again,
- 8:55Speaker 1: So ethical is your personal point of view, whereas ESG
- 8:58Speaker 1: is a genuine form of investing where they have to
- 9:01Speaker 1: meet criteria, but most investors just don't know that.
- 9:05Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think it's important to understand that as
- 9:08Speaker 6: time goes on, green washing will become less and less
- 9:12Speaker 6: because we the people, will just see right through it
- 9:15Speaker 6: and it goes to all facets of marketing, right. Like
- 9:18Speaker 6: I was at the supermarket the other day and I
- 9:20Speaker 6: saw like some sausages and it's just like gluten free.
- 9:24Speaker 4: It's like, well, no, they're all gluten free anyway.
- 9:26Speaker 2: Because they're not because they're made with bread crumbs.
- 9:29Speaker 4: Sausages. Yes, what part of the sausages.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Like the in the meat?
- 9:34Speaker 6: Like I talked to the butcher and he said, all
- 9:36Speaker 6: our sausages we make, okay.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Sometimes they have gluten in them.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Somebody who has the Celiac in the family and usually
- 9:43Speaker 1: eats gluten free. I promise, I'm not even buying sausages.
- 9:47Speaker 1: I'm a little I don't even meat.
- 9:49Speaker 2: I don't know why.
- 9:52Speaker 6: Out it'd be like seeing an advertisement on a bottle
- 9:55Speaker 6: of water to say it's vegan. Like it gets to
- 9:58Speaker 6: the point where it's like taking a sauce. Kaigan has
- 10:00Speaker 6: read that water is vegan and gluten free.
- 10:03Speaker 5: They're just trying to appeal to people because they know
- 10:05Speaker 5: that people are now prioritizing global issues and they're trying
- 10:08Speaker 5: to appeal to that conception.
- 10:09Speaker 2: I think they're taking advantage of that. Then. Yeah, but this.
- 10:13Speaker 6: Is like all right, Georgia, hello, just to bring you
- 10:16Speaker 6: back in. This is the thing where like the marketing
- 10:20Speaker 6: team and hello to all the marketers, you do wonderful things.
- 10:26Speaker 4: Like this is.
- 10:27Speaker 6: Where like the marketing team could get involved with something
- 10:29Speaker 6: to sell it externally and maybe not represent what's actually
- 10:35Speaker 6: going on.
- 10:36Speaker 4: Spicy, I don't know, like and so.
- 10:39Speaker 6: You take something like the bottle of water that we
- 10:42Speaker 6: know is inherently vegan, Well, the marketing team might get
- 10:45Speaker 6: involved to go, let's market this water as vegan.
- 10:49Speaker 7: But to their credit, that's genius. Like until tighter regulations
- 10:55Speaker 7: are put down on this stuff like gophy life, I think,
- 10:58Speaker 7: and we just have to use our kind of consumer
- 11:01Speaker 7: knowledge and now kind of that's through the bullshit.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Next week on She's on the money, We're going to
- 11:06Speaker 2: be sponsored by Georgia's new water brand Water.
- 11:11Speaker 6: So for example, we know categorically if you'll got the
- 11:15Speaker 6: b CORP certification, like you've done a lot of work
- 11:19Speaker 6: in the background. Yeah, so I think it is knowing
- 11:21Speaker 6: those trusted certifications that aren't rubbish.
- 11:25Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely absolutely.
- 11:27Speaker 1: Let's move on from here though, because they don't want
- 11:29Speaker 1: to get too deep, because I do have a really
- 11:31Speaker 1: big content piece that I want to discuss, which has
- 11:33Speaker 1: been going very well online recently. I feel like people
- 11:36Speaker 1: are up in arms. In fact, someone DMed me this
- 11:39Speaker 1: morning about it and they were like, I just need
- 11:40Speaker 1: to tell my finance mum about this, And I was like, girl,
- 11:42Speaker 1: if you tell me, I hold a grudge. Like you
- 11:44Speaker 1: can't tell your finance mum something and then have them
- 11:47Speaker 1: forget about it later. Don't come back to me and
- 11:49Speaker 1: say that you like this person now she's been written off.
- 11:52Speaker 1: That's how it works when you tell your mum things.
- 11:54Speaker 1: But moving on to the community again, Georgia King, we
- 11:58Speaker 1: would love to know what are the top money wins
- 12:00Speaker 1: that you've pulled from the group this week.
- 12:02Speaker 7: All right, We've got a few this week, guys. I'm
- 12:04Speaker 7: very excited that Glenn James is here for this part
- 12:07Speaker 7: of the show as well.
- 12:08Speaker 1: I'm gonna bit worried about what his feedback on your
- 12:10Speaker 1: money wins might be guys.
- 12:12Speaker 7: What if it's that I actually did see in the
- 12:14Speaker 7: list of money wins someone received Glenn James's book, but
- 12:18Speaker 7: I was like, don't put that in Georgie's The Enemy's Competition.
- 12:22Speaker 2: So a bit awkward.
- 12:23Speaker 7: Now, all right, let's get into it, guys. The first
- 12:26Speaker 7: win of the week is from Jonah. I was looking
- 12:29Speaker 7: into buying tiles to update the kitchen and bathrooms in
- 12:32Speaker 7: my investment property. However, coincidentally, my neighbor was giving away
- 12:36Speaker 7: heaps of boxes of tiles for free on her nature strip.
- 12:40Speaker 7: The tiles of the style I was looking for and
- 12:42Speaker 7: in the exact quantity I needed.
- 12:44Speaker 2: How perfect manifested it? Jess we don't know how good
- 12:47Speaker 2: to be. I will fight you. Do you want to down, fir?
- 12:52Speaker 4: Sit down? All right?
- 12:53Speaker 2: Sit down, don't stand up?
- 12:55Speaker 5: Name me an item. I will find it. I will
- 12:57Speaker 5: manifest it on market place.
- 13:00Speaker 6: Okay, well, we'll mark this right now that I will
- 13:04Speaker 6: have a manifesting debate with Jessica Richie.
- 13:08Speaker 2: And time and a plan I have to say, Jessica Riach.
- 13:14Speaker 7: The next thing, guys, comes from Angie. Today, I ticked
- 13:17Speaker 7: over sixty thousand dollars in my house deposit fund.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Which I've been saving on my own.
- 13:22Speaker 7: Since I got more serious about saving after divorcing my ex.
- 13:25Speaker 7: I've managed to save thirty five thousand dollars in the
- 13:28Speaker 7: last two and a half years. With my current projections,
- 13:32Speaker 7: by the end of next year, I'll have eighty thousand
- 13:34Speaker 7: dollars for a house deposit and can join forces with
- 13:36Speaker 7: my partner to hopefully buy my first home and his second.
- 13:40Speaker 2: Good on you, Angie, Yes, Queen, I love that.
- 13:42Speaker 1: I also loved that she's like I kicked my ex
- 13:44Speaker 1: to the curb and now I am flourishing.
- 13:46Speaker 2: Yes.
- 13:47Speaker 7: The next thing is from Kiara. I found an old
- 13:50Speaker 7: birthday card from my twenty first which was three years ago,
- 13:54Speaker 7: and I didn't realize at the time, but hidden behind
- 13:57Speaker 7: a few photos of my friend and I was actually
- 13:59Speaker 7: of fifty dollar Bras and Things gift voucher which doesn't
- 14:02Speaker 7: expire until November this year.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Money actual win. Guys. We love brass are so expensive,
- 14:08Speaker 2: don't you think, Glenn?
- 14:09Speaker 4: I do think, and I do.
- 14:11Speaker 2: Oh, let's not go.
- 14:14Speaker 5: I don't want any more information, please, I keep going O.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Thanks though. The next week is from Olivia.
- 14:24Speaker 7: I resigned from my job of three and a half
- 14:27Speaker 7: years for various reasons, including not feeling valued. I started
- 14:31Speaker 7: training my replacement, and four days into that training, she
- 14:34Speaker 7: decided the role wasn't for her. Rough I had three
- 14:37Speaker 7: days left of my notice period and four weeks until
- 14:40Speaker 7: I started my new job, so I offered to still
- 14:43Speaker 7: assist in my old role and train the next replacement.
- 14:46Speaker 4: Me.
- 14:47Speaker 7: In doing so, I negotiated a pay rate of double
- 14:51Speaker 7: my usual rate for any work I do within business
- 14:53Speaker 7: hours and triple my old rate outside of business hours.
- 14:57Speaker 7: I'll keep on doing this work until I start my
- 14:59Speaker 7: new role.
- 15:00Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense. Was convoluted, No, it made sense.
- 15:03Speaker 1: It made sense, And I've actually had this conversation recently
- 15:06Speaker 1: with someone who has asked to work for their old employer.
- 15:09Speaker 1: I was like, okay, cool, but they don't just get
- 15:11Speaker 1: to divide your annual past income and pay you that rate. Like,
- 15:16Speaker 1: go find what a freelancer who would do that rate
- 15:19Speaker 1: would look like and charge that because you're freelancing, Like,
- 15:22Speaker 1: this is how it works. You shouldn't be just paid
- 15:25Speaker 1: your old stuff. You absolutely should have argued that, And
- 15:27Speaker 1: I think that's primo.
- 15:29Speaker 2: Very clever.
- 15:29Speaker 7: From Olivia, Well done, girl. On the next win is
- 15:33Speaker 7: from Carlos whilst religiously investing over the past year. I'm
- 15:36Speaker 7: getting paid a few hundred dollars in dividends this month.
- 15:39Speaker 2: V That's what we talked about last week. Does that
- 15:42Speaker 2: feel We love it? The money that your money made.
- 15:45Speaker 4: Yes.
- 15:46Speaker 7: Our final win for today, guys, is from Rachel. Massive
- 15:49Speaker 7: money win. I discovered by accident that I was eligible
- 15:52Speaker 7: for the higher rate of childcare subsidy for my youngest
- 15:55Speaker 7: who is at daycare five days a week. We are
- 15:58Speaker 7: now saving one hundred and twenty dollars a week and
- 16:00Speaker 7: I'm adding the savings to paying off my personal loan,
- 16:02Speaker 7: and that's four hundred and eighty dollars extra months to
- 16:04Speaker 7: put towards the loan.
- 16:06Speaker 2: I love that. That's so much money.
- 16:08Speaker 1: If I knew how to check that, I would tell you, guys,
- 16:11Speaker 1: but if you do have childcare, I'd be looking into
- 16:13Speaker 1: whether you are paying the right amount or not because
- 16:15Speaker 1: that sounds like a massive money win.
- 16:17Speaker 2: One hundred percent. That's all I've got for you this week, guys. Exciting.
- 16:21Speaker 1: Well, let's throw to a really quick break because it
- 16:23Speaker 1: turns out we do need to get paid, and when
- 16:25Speaker 1: we come back, we are going to be talking about
- 16:28Speaker 1: a spicy credit card, an influencer has decided to make
- 16:31Speaker 1: for us. All right, we are back, Jessica. You have
- 16:35Speaker 1: brought to the table this week the content that we
- 16:38Speaker 1: would like to talk about.
- 16:39Speaker 4: It's what we're here for.
- 16:41Speaker 1: We are here for the content. We are here for
- 16:43Speaker 1: the drama. And this week it was announced that what
- 16:46Speaker 1: I would say is a scandal ridden influencer has decided
- 16:49Speaker 1: to partner with a credit card company.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Is that right? What have you got for us?
- 16:52Speaker 3: So?
- 16:53Speaker 5: Danielle Bernstein, who is a blogger or an influencer, She
- 16:57Speaker 5: originally had a blog called we Wore What, very very popular.
- 17:00Speaker 5: She's moved on and done a whole bunch of collaborations.
- 17:02Speaker 5: I believe she has her own clothing line now and
- 17:05Speaker 5: the headline runs Daniel Bernstein is launching a we Wore
- 17:09Speaker 5: What credit card. So we of course saw this and well,
- 17:11Speaker 5: like excuse me.
- 17:13Speaker 1: My dms have been absolutely blowing up about these articles
- 17:16Speaker 1: about this credit card and on face value, because usually
- 17:19Speaker 1: I read my Instagram messages when I'm on the go,
- 17:22Speaker 1: like I was reading them on the tram and I
- 17:23Speaker 1: was trying to work out what they were. I didn't
- 17:25Speaker 1: have time to read the full articles, and I was like,
- 17:27Speaker 1: oh my gosh, and influencer launching her credit card.
- 17:29Speaker 2: How irresponsible. This is wild.
- 17:32Speaker 1: So we did a bit of digging before we posted
- 17:34Speaker 1: about it on our own socials because you didn't want
- 17:36Speaker 1: to jump too many conclusions. And jeffs, it's not a
- 17:38Speaker 1: credit card.
- 17:39Speaker 4: Is it.
- 17:39Speaker 5: It's not. So it is through Visa, which obviously do
- 17:43Speaker 5: have credit cards, but it's actually a pre paid card, so.
- 17:46Speaker 2: Kind of like a gift card.
- 17:47Speaker 4: Nope, Glee Jans, can I correct you and you can
- 17:50Speaker 4: edit this out?
- 17:50Speaker 2: Please feel free.
- 17:51Speaker 6: So Visa do not actually have credit cards. They are
- 17:56Speaker 6: the payment gateway in the payment service.
- 17:58Speaker 2: That facilitates its excellent stay in that. Yeah, that's not
- 18:03Speaker 2: a bad thing.
- 18:04Speaker 1: Visa and MasterCard are the payment terminals, and then you
- 18:07Speaker 1: can have a Visa credit card, but it would be
- 18:09Speaker 1: hosted by somebody else.
- 18:11Speaker 5: Yeah, so you can have credit cards with Visa, which
- 18:13Speaker 5: I think is where all of these headlines kind of
- 18:15Speaker 5: came from.
- 18:15Speaker 1: But people are assuming as well. I think it's a
- 18:17Speaker 1: lack of financial literacy in a way for people to
- 18:21Speaker 1: just be like card credit card, ding ding ding, that's
- 18:24Speaker 1: the answer. And I mean it's arguably the headline that's
- 18:27Speaker 1: going to sell you know, the newspapers, Not that anyone
- 18:29Speaker 1: buys newspapers. Yeah, No, one's going to pick it up
- 18:32Speaker 1: and be like influencer launches financially responsible charge card.
- 18:36Speaker 2: That's not going to happen. Like this card.
- 18:38Speaker 1: We've looked into it. You can only spend what you've
- 18:41Speaker 1: loaded the card with.
- 18:42Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's prepaid, and the whole idea is that
- 18:44Speaker 5: there will be a bunch of perks available to users
- 18:47Speaker 5: that wouldn't be available otherwise, and that's the incentive. But
- 18:50Speaker 5: it's a really interesting crossover to see because this is
- 18:54Speaker 5: obviously a really large corporation in the finance space testing
- 18:59Speaker 5: the waters to see how much influence and influencer has.
- 19:02Speaker 5: And we were just saying before you know, two point
- 19:04Speaker 5: eight million followers, like she is arguably a real full
- 19:08Speaker 5: blown influencer.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Yeah, she's legit. According to Glenn James. You've got the
- 19:12Speaker 1: Glenn James tick of approval. That's better than the IG one.
- 19:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 19:16Speaker 6: I rate this chick. She's got like a philanthropy thing.
- 19:20Speaker 5: Well, before you say that, she has spicy, spicy.
- 19:24Speaker 4: She's riddled in scandals.
- 19:25Speaker 2: She's controversial.
- 19:27Speaker 5: I wouldn't go that far, but she has come under
- 19:29Speaker 5: fire in the past, I said before, she has a
- 19:31Speaker 5: clothing brand, and she's been called out for copying smaller
- 19:35Speaker 5: businesses and ripping off their designs.
- 19:37Speaker 2: So we do not stand.
- 19:39Speaker 5: No, we do not stand. To be clear, we haven't
- 19:41Speaker 5: looked too far into that side of things.
- 19:42Speaker 1: I did a little bit of research before, and there
- 19:44Speaker 1: are a few things where there's like Prince side by
- 19:47Speaker 1: side and they're almost identical. And I also found the
- 19:50Speaker 1: content where a lot of TikTokers were comparing her stuff
- 19:54Speaker 1: to small businesses on Etsy, and yeah, it was I
- 19:58Speaker 1: would say, pretty identical. She No, she's from New York City.
- 20:02Speaker 5: There's so much money being poured into this, and I
- 20:04Speaker 5: would be interested to know what they're kind of looking for.
- 20:08Speaker 5: Are they looking for her to convert new people to
- 20:10Speaker 5: this card or are they looking to retain people?
- 20:13Speaker 1: So I looked into it, and there's obviously always an
- 20:17Speaker 1: ulterior motive when it comes to anything in business, right
- 20:20Speaker 1: in the ulterior.
- 20:20Speaker 2: Mode, Yeah, it's.
- 20:25Speaker 1: It's but that's it, right, Like someone somewhere, somehow has
- 20:29Speaker 1: to be making money, otherwise what's the point of the collaboration.
- 20:32Speaker 1: There's a lot behind it, and that makes sense. Everybody
- 20:35Speaker 1: should get paid. I don't think that's a bad thing,
- 20:37Speaker 1: but I think we should be transparent about that. So Imprint,
- 20:41Speaker 1: who is the company who are facilitating that card? So
- 20:45Speaker 1: as Glenn was saying before, Visa are the payment terminal,
- 20:48Speaker 1: Imprint is the company issuing the card or issuing the
- 20:51Speaker 1: Visa card. And they have said things like no, the
- 20:54Speaker 1: card can't affect your credit score or put any of
- 20:57Speaker 1: the users in debt, which I really.
- 20:59Speaker 2: Like because it is a basically it's a debit card.
- 21:01Speaker 1: It's an American debit card, so you put money on it,
- 21:04Speaker 1: you can spend your own money, which is quite responsible,
- 21:06Speaker 1: and you still get all of those benefits, which could
- 21:09Speaker 1: be really nice, especially if you really align to her brand. However,
- 21:14Speaker 1: Danielle has come out recently, especially after getting a whole
- 21:18Speaker 1: heap of backlash about her quote super cool card. Daniel's
- 21:22Speaker 1: come out and said, I don't make money from the
- 21:24Speaker 1: card directly, but I will make a profit quote based
- 21:27Speaker 1: on the product sales that that we will want Visa
- 21:31Speaker 1: card facilitates, So that could be massive. So is that
- 21:35Speaker 1: like saying I might get like one percent or it's
- 21:39Speaker 1: probably way way, way less than one percent one percent
- 21:41Speaker 1: of every sale that happens on one of those cards.
- 21:44Speaker 6: So this is how I read it, right, So headline is,
- 21:48Speaker 6: hey everyone, I've got a prepaid gift card with my
- 21:50Speaker 6: brand on it now number two, So like it's no
- 21:53Speaker 6: different than Westfield having a prepaid gift card, right, so
- 21:56Speaker 6: it's their brand on it. She's obviously gone like because
- 22:01Speaker 6: you could go to a master Card, right or Visa
- 22:03Speaker 6: and say, hey, we've got this distribution. We can use
- 22:05Speaker 6: this card, because I think it's important to understand how
- 22:09Speaker 6: it all works in the background. So if you go
- 22:11Speaker 6: and use your Tap and go card with Visa or
- 22:15Speaker 6: mask card, the merchant fee, so Visa or master Card
- 22:20Speaker 6: will charge the merchant fee.
- 22:21Speaker 4: It's quite small.
- 22:22Speaker 6: We know Amex is a big fee because they charge
- 22:24Speaker 6: people extra, right.
- 22:26Speaker 1: And that's why so many places will say no Amex.
- 22:29Speaker 1: It's not because they can't process it. It's because it
- 22:31Speaker 1: costs that business so much to process that I.
- 22:33Speaker 6: Would I can't imagine there would be a percentage twenty
- 22:36Speaker 6: thirty percent of the Visa merchant fee that Visa gets
- 22:40Speaker 6: that they'd be passing on to her.
- 22:42Speaker 1: Which I think is kind of fair. Like it's quite transparent.
- 22:45Speaker 1: It's like, well, if this doesn't work. You don't get
- 22:47Speaker 1: paid if people aren't using the card.
- 22:48Speaker 4: Additional cost to the consumer.
- 22:51Speaker 1: Which is the main point here, Like you can have
- 22:53Speaker 1: this card with their benefits, it's probably not going to
- 22:56Speaker 1: cost you anymore than having a regular Imprint card. But
- 22:59Speaker 1: I think the spicy part and why people have basically
- 23:02Speaker 1: jumped down her throat so quickly, is her rocky past,
- 23:06Speaker 1: like the fact that she hasn't been the most upfront
- 23:08Speaker 1: when it comes to you know, business previously, Like she's
- 23:11Speaker 1: obviously breached a couple of trademark things and gone about
- 23:14Speaker 1: copyright infringement in a not so good way. And a
- 23:17Speaker 1: lot of people are jumping up and down, and they're like, Ah,
- 23:19Speaker 1: she's a scammer, she's not a good person. We shouldn't
- 23:21Speaker 1: trust her with our financial information. But I think the
- 23:24Speaker 1: important thing there, and I obviously haven't read their pds,
- 23:28Speaker 1: but I would make a grand assumption that there's no
- 23:31Speaker 1: way that she she's like the face of the card,
- 23:34Speaker 1: she's like the model on the front. There's no way
- 23:37Speaker 1: she would be given your financial information that would stay
- 23:40Speaker 1: with Imprint and Visa, Like I really doubt that that
- 23:42Speaker 1: would go further and be supplied unless it's some kind
- 23:46Speaker 1: of like, oh, if they sign up, you get their
- 23:47Speaker 1: email to add to their marketing list, which would be
- 23:50Speaker 1: a really good way of you know, working out who
- 23:52Speaker 1: to market to, et cetera.
- 23:54Speaker 2: But I do think it's quite spicy.
- 23:56Speaker 1: But it's definitely not as spicy as all of the
- 23:58Speaker 1: headlines are telling it is.
- 24:00Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm just looking at the Instagram ad like they've
- 24:03Speaker 6: got a heap of brands promoted. I would imagine so,
- 24:07Speaker 6: for example, if she brought somebody in her audience with
- 24:12Speaker 6: that visa card or that prepaid card to a certain brand,
- 24:17Speaker 6: they would probably be able to track that you use
- 24:20Speaker 6: this payment method to buy this pair of shoes, for example,
- 24:24Speaker 6: she may get a commission now and all that work right,
- 24:28Speaker 6: So it's we're bringing people aka buying power to your brand.
- 24:34Speaker 6: We want a benefit to bring those people. So and
- 24:37Speaker 6: but you know, million followers, this is big business everyone like, make.
- 24:41Speaker 2: No mistakes, not little.
- 24:42Speaker 1: Even though she's getting all this backlash, it could be
- 24:45Speaker 1: a really good thing for her. And in their press
- 24:47Speaker 1: statement it actually says, to further your point, Glenn, we
- 24:51Speaker 1: wore what customers benefit from POINTE best in class rewards
- 24:54Speaker 1: by offering cardholders ten percent back when they shop with
- 24:57Speaker 1: we wore what because she obviously has her own shop
- 25:00Speaker 1: facility online. Then if it's a brand partner, they get
- 25:03Speaker 1: five percent back and you'll get one percent back if
- 25:05Speaker 1: it's everywhere else, So it's not unlike a shop back
- 25:08Speaker 1: where they're getting it back. But I would be interested
- 25:11Speaker 1: to see if above and beyond that merchant fee, if
- 25:14Speaker 1: she's getting part of that, what type of partner benefit
- 25:17Speaker 1: is she getting, Like are they splitting that referral fee
- 25:20Speaker 1: because they're saying rewards are immediately available and it redeemed
- 25:23Speaker 1: interchangeably across brand partners. Kind of cool, but that must
- 25:26Speaker 1: mean that there's another facility over the top of that
- 25:29Speaker 1: to track that reward system.
- 25:31Speaker 4: Yeah, and this is it like convolution.
- 25:33Speaker 6: She's not doing it for free, as nice as she is,
- 25:36Speaker 6: and maybe she does offset some of this stuff by
- 25:38Speaker 6: having the philanthropy. I can't say that word philanthropy.
- 25:42Speaker 1: For someone who's such a philanthropist. I'm very surprised that
- 25:45Speaker 1: you can't.
- 25:45Speaker 4: I'm just a given particulate. Yeah, nice, but no one
- 25:50Speaker 4: does anything out of the goodness of their heart like
- 25:53Speaker 4: I do.
- 25:53Speaker 6: A podcast it's free to listen to, Yes, it is
- 25:56Speaker 6: out the goodness of my heart that I wouldn't be
- 25:58Speaker 6: doing it for two long follls and getting paid.
- 26:00Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's unsustainable.
- 26:01Speaker 1: Like I started mine and I was like, you know what,
- 26:03Speaker 1: this is going to be twelve episodes of quality content
- 26:06Speaker 1: because I want to put it out there for the best.
- 26:09Speaker 1: I don't have time or capacity because I need to, say,
- 26:12Speaker 1: for a house, and I need to do all these
- 26:13Speaker 1: other things. It's it's great that it's now commercialized, but yeah,
- 26:16Speaker 1: it's not. I've got to pay yess, I've got to
- 26:18Speaker 1: pay George, Like the only guys are changing.
- 26:21Speaker 6: That's slippery slope with this, Is it encouraging people to
- 26:26Speaker 6: spend more on stuff they technically wouldn't need otherwise.
- 26:31Speaker 1: Because that's the whole No, I reckon that that's the
- 26:34Speaker 1: slippery slope that they are going down, because you'd want
- 26:37Speaker 1: to be buying things online.
- 26:38Speaker 2: But if you already frequent those places and it's your.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Own money, I'm kind of like, well, maybe I don't
- 26:43Speaker 1: even know if there's.
- 26:44Speaker 4: A sign up.
- 26:44Speaker 6: I don't know anything about this influencer until I walked
- 26:48Speaker 6: in here ten minutes ago. But I think probably looking
- 26:51Speaker 6: at it more, it probably is more of a buying
- 26:54Speaker 6: power play like the shot back and the cash rewards
- 26:57Speaker 6: vibe as opposed to the visa merchants split, but we
- 27:00Speaker 6: just don't know.
- 27:01Speaker 1: It does inspire me though, to look into ways where
- 27:04Speaker 1: could get a shees on the money card to inspire
- 27:06Speaker 1: people to be smarter with their money.
- 27:09Speaker 2: How cool would that be?
- 27:10Speaker 1: You're like at the checkout and you see someone without
- 27:13Speaker 1: a peachy little card. It it be like twenty ten
- 27:15Speaker 1: and everyone's like, oh my god, are you with IRONNG
- 27:19Speaker 1: used to see people with their little stickers that would
- 27:21Speaker 1: say splurge or spend.
- 27:23Speaker 5: Yeah, all those people who get those covers for their
- 27:26Speaker 5: cards with Terry CRUs on it.
- 27:27Speaker 2: Oh my god, spend money.
- 27:29Speaker 5: But I think ultimately it's going to be in how
- 27:31Speaker 5: this card is marketed, because you know, she could just
- 27:34Speaker 5: say here's the thing. If you shop online and you
- 27:36Speaker 5: want to access some extra awards, it's an option that's
- 27:39Speaker 5: availed to you. Or it could fall into that area
- 27:41Speaker 5: of the more you know, misleading pushy marketing where they're saying,
- 27:45Speaker 5: oh my god, got no money but want to do
- 27:47Speaker 5: x y zed or thinking about doing this and spend spend, spend,
- 27:50Speaker 5: and it's that I think it's going to be how
- 27:53Speaker 5: they encourage people to be a green card rather than
- 27:56Speaker 5: the product itself, which is so often where we see
- 27:58Speaker 5: businesses being problematic. The item itself after pay is not
- 28:01Speaker 5: a problematic product, but the way that they market it.
- 28:04Speaker 1: But it's a slippery slope, like what is next for them?
- 28:07Speaker 1: Like say this is wildly successful, do they go into
- 28:10Speaker 1: buy now, pay later? How does that work? I think
- 28:13Speaker 1: for me, I'm not too concerned because it is basically
- 28:15Speaker 1: a debit card. It's not anything more than that, a
- 28:18Speaker 1: debit card with some rewards. Yes, at the end of
- 28:20Speaker 1: the day, you're probably being promoted to spend more because
- 28:23Speaker 1: you want more rewards, and I'd be really wary of that.
- 28:27Speaker 1: But it's also not available in Australia. So glad we
- 28:29Speaker 1: spent so much time on this space content. All right,
- 28:33Speaker 1: So I think we have a few minutes left to
- 28:35Speaker 1: answer some listener questions.
- 28:37Speaker 2: Are you guys ready, let's do it.
- 28:40Speaker 3: I use on the money team. I just need some
- 28:41Speaker 3: advice about work expenses. So with my job, I get
- 28:45Speaker 3: to have my work card which is under the business,
- 28:48Speaker 3: but I don't have a fuel card or an f poscard.
- 28:52Speaker 3: So with that, unfortunately, I have to pay for quite
- 28:54Speaker 3: a few things under my personal finances. I do get
- 28:58Speaker 3: this paid back once I do all the paperwork, but
- 29:02Speaker 3: the next day I have to pay that all again.
- 29:06Speaker 3: As you know, I have to pay for fuel, I
- 29:08Speaker 3: have to pay for clients, etc. So I have asked
- 29:12Speaker 3: my boss for an f post card and he fled
- 29:14Speaker 3: out refuses and says no, as he says it's a liability.
- 29:20Speaker 3: I just need to ask if this is ethical or
- 29:23Speaker 3: if there's other ways that I can convince him to
- 29:26Speaker 3: get an f POS card thank you.
- 29:29Speaker 1: I used to do this with one of my old
- 29:31Speaker 1: jobs because corporate cards were only reserved for the senior consultants,
- 29:36Speaker 1: and so whenever I traveled to Sydney for work, I
- 29:39Speaker 1: would have to put the deposit on my card personally
- 29:42Speaker 1: to check into the hotel, which is in a way.
- 29:46Speaker 1: I could understand why it was all about risk that
- 29:48Speaker 1: the business was carrying, But as a twenty something year
- 29:52Speaker 1: old who didn't have all that much cash, that.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Was a lot to foot.
- 29:56Speaker 1: And a lot of financial responsibility that I didn't think
- 29:58Speaker 1: I should have taken on. So that really used to
- 30:01Speaker 1: frustrate me. But we've got Glenn James here, so why
- 30:04Speaker 1: are we listening to me, Glenn, speak now or forever
- 30:07Speaker 1: hold your peg.
- 30:08Speaker 6: It's just ridiculous. Tell them to get stuffed. I mean,
- 30:11Speaker 6: if you're employing someone and they're out in a role
- 30:14Speaker 6: that requires expenses, you need to furnish a card. Like
- 30:17Speaker 6: it's just actually ridiculous that you should cash flow someone
- 30:20Speaker 6: else's business and then be reimbursted.
- 30:23Speaker 1: That's the summary of it. You shouldn't have to cash
- 30:25Speaker 1: flow somebody else's business.
- 30:26Speaker 6: Right, my team JP and my team she's the one
- 30:29Speaker 6: who does most of the traveling.
- 30:31Speaker 4: We've got a card.
- 30:32Speaker 6: In terms of the liability, we started with a prepaid
- 30:36Speaker 6: post Office card and I just said, yep, I'll put
- 30:39Speaker 6: a thousand dollars on it. When it gets low, let
- 30:41Speaker 6: me know, I'll transfer over. I don't expect any of
- 30:43Speaker 6: my staff to cash flow my business.
- 30:46Speaker 1: No, because you don't know what their financial situation is
- 30:49Speaker 1: and it's not their responsibility at the end of the day.
- 30:52Speaker 1: That's a really good idea, Glenn, I really like the
- 30:55Speaker 1: post Office idea.
- 30:56Speaker 2: But then you can also always get like a credit.
- 30:59Speaker 1: Card that has a five hundred dollars limit, Like it
- 31:02Speaker 1: doesn't have to be massive. But as a business you're
- 31:04Speaker 1: incurring this cost anyway, and if you get a business
- 31:07Speaker 1: credit card, you could be racking up some sweet sweet
- 31:09Speaker 1: points by owning that as well.
- 31:10Speaker 5: Because it also puts the user at a disadvantage. Let's
- 31:13Speaker 5: say she's spending she's saying for fuel primarily. Let's say
- 31:16Speaker 5: he's spending two hundred bucks a week on fuel, which.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Would would be very expensive at the moment.
- 31:20Speaker 5: I was going to say, it's being conservative given current
- 31:22Speaker 5: petrol prices. That's what let's call it. Eight hundred dollars
- 31:25Speaker 5: a month. If your business or if the business that
- 31:28Speaker 5: employees her is reconciling their accounts monthly, which most businesses do,
- 31:33Speaker 5: and she's spent eight hundred dollars out of her pocket,
- 31:35Speaker 5: that's eight hundred dollars that she's not occurring interest on
- 31:38Speaker 5: for the duration of that month. So if he's insisting
- 31:41Speaker 5: on you bankrolling it, I would be raising that and saying, hey,
- 31:44Speaker 5: like I'm actually missing out on interest. You need to
- 31:46Speaker 5: pay me a percentage on top of what I'm spending.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Oh, I wouldn't even go that far. I'd just say
- 31:51Speaker 1: it's not my job to bankroll your business. I'd be
- 31:54Speaker 1: pretty blunt about that one in saying that it's a
- 31:56Speaker 1: really hard situation to navigate. I would assume if you're
- 32:00Speaker 1: saying to your boss directly, like, oh, hey, I asked
- 32:03Speaker 1: Glenn for a bank card and he didn't let me.
- 32:06Speaker 1: That's I'm making grand assumptions here. I'm assuming it's a
- 32:09Speaker 1: small business. I'm assuming he hasn't thought too much about it,
- 32:11Speaker 1: because there's no way a bigger corporate would do that anymore.
- 32:14Speaker 1: Like I'm talking about when I was working in like
- 32:17Speaker 1: twenty eleven, twenty twelve. We're not, you know, not twenty
- 32:20Speaker 1: twenty two. I feel like that's really outdated to go, oh,
- 32:23Speaker 1: we'll reimburse you for your expenses. Like I think it's
- 32:26Speaker 1: reasonable to be reimbursed for your expenses if you're like,
- 32:30Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I incurred this one parking thing this week.
- 32:33Speaker 1: It was twenty two bucks, and you submit your ticket
- 32:35Speaker 1: and you get your money back. Not if it's a
- 32:38Speaker 1: consistent expectation like I went to training in the city,
- 32:42Speaker 1: so I had to park, and I did this, and
- 32:43Speaker 1: I did that. Like, that's reasonable reimbursement. But if it's
- 32:47Speaker 1: a consistent part.
- 32:48Speaker 4: Of all the time, get stuffed. Basically, I'll call.
- 32:52Speaker 2: Him, Yeah, let me know. Let me.
- 32:54Speaker 7: Know, So, if it is a small business and maybe
- 32:58Speaker 7: you're like worried about your position within that business, if
- 33:01Speaker 7: it's really tight and tiny, how do you bring it up,
- 33:04Speaker 7: like if there's no HR department, if you're someone that's
- 33:06Speaker 7: nervous and hates confrontation, like, it's all well and good
- 33:10Speaker 7: to say, oh, stuff you like, but how do you
- 33:13Speaker 7: actually have that conversation?
- 33:14Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 33:15Speaker 1: Nah, that's a really good question because twenty ten Victoria
- 33:19Speaker 1: definitely wouldn't have just been like, oh, stuff you. In fact,
- 33:22Speaker 1: twenty ten Victoria was, you know, just still reimbursing, still
- 33:26Speaker 1: putting my receipts in ste putting them in a little
- 33:29Speaker 1: folder in my handbag and taking them to work and
- 33:32Speaker 1: scanning them in and going, oh, I don't really want
- 33:34Speaker 1: to mention it because it makes me feel uncomfortable. And
- 33:36Speaker 1: I also didn't want people to think I didn't have
- 33:38Speaker 1: enough money to be able to do that because I
- 33:39Speaker 1: was being judged and all the senior consultants were really rich,
- 33:42Speaker 1: like it wasn't. Yeah, I totally get that, And I
- 33:45Speaker 1: think that's about bringing up like, hey, it's actually putting
- 33:48Speaker 1: a lot of financial stress on me at the moment.
- 33:50Speaker 1: And I looked into it, and I think best practice
- 33:52Speaker 1: is either this getting a debit card or suggesting something
- 33:56Speaker 1: ulterior like Glenn was saying a prepaid visa card that
- 33:59Speaker 1: you just get office Like, I'm not asking you to
- 34:01Speaker 1: open a bank account for me. I just want you
- 34:04Speaker 1: to give me access to company funds so I can
- 34:08Speaker 1: spend company funds on things that you're telling me I
- 34:10Speaker 1: need to. It's not my responsibility, I think turning around
- 34:14Speaker 1: and just going, oh, hey, I've had a really good
- 34:16Speaker 1: think about this. I'm under a little bit of stress
- 34:18Speaker 1: at the moment because of this, Like I'm trying to
- 34:20Speaker 1: save for a house and it's you know, I'm honestly,
- 34:23Speaker 1: with the cost of fuel at the moment, I just
- 34:25Speaker 1: don't feel like I can afford to fund this. And
- 34:28Speaker 1: maybe give a couple of really good suggestions like what
- 34:31Speaker 1: Glenn came up with, and I think that could be
- 34:32Speaker 1: a really good starting point. But if your boss isn't
- 34:36Speaker 1: respecting you either, I think there's a deeper conversation to
- 34:39Speaker 1: be had, Like if your boss is genuinely not caring
- 34:43Speaker 1: about your financial situation and not caring about the way
- 34:46Speaker 1: that they treat you in their business, I would be
- 34:48Speaker 1: really questioning why you still work there.
- 34:50Speaker 5: Yeah, I fully agree. I mean I understand it's a
- 34:52Speaker 5: small business. It's hard to take on you know, those things,
- 34:55Speaker 5: but ultimately you're going to have to pay for anyone
- 34:56Speaker 5: and it's not fair to expect an employee to bank
- 34:59Speaker 5: all your business.
- 35:00Speaker 1: I would really want to ask them, like, why do
- 35:02Speaker 1: you think that's acceptable? Like, I get it, if you
- 35:04Speaker 1: just hadn't put more thought into it, it's like, oh, Jess,
- 35:06Speaker 1: I'll pay you.
- 35:07Speaker 2: Back though, Like, yeah, like it's not swearing.
- 35:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think that it's malicious from the start,
- 35:11Speaker 1: but I think once you give the mood of context
- 35:13Speaker 1: and let them know that you're not comfortable with it,
- 35:15Speaker 1: it's your employer's job to make sure that you're in
- 35:17Speaker 1: the best possible position in that aspect. But guys, I
- 35:20Speaker 1: think that is as always, all we have time for today.
- 35:23Speaker 1: You've got some spicy non credit card content. We talked
- 35:26Speaker 1: about everything we usually talk about, and we discussed how
- 35:29Speaker 1: to push back on your employer when they make you
- 35:32Speaker 1: pay for stuff you shouldn't have to pay for.
- 35:33Speaker 2: Cover all basis. What a good episode, Glenn, Thanks for
- 35:36Speaker 2: joining us.
- 35:37Speaker 4: Thanks guys, really appreciate you.
- 35:38Speaker 5: I was going to say, can we make Glenn read
- 35:40Speaker 5: the FSL with all the guess.
- 35:42Speaker 2: Yes, of course we can. So, guys, we are done
- 35:45Speaker 2: for the day.
- 35:46Speaker 1: But as always, let's listen to our very exciting disclaimer
