- 0:00Speaker 1: She's on the Money. She's on the Money. Hello and
- 0:16Speaker 1: welcome to She's on the Money, the podcast for millennials
- 0:19Speaker 1: who want financial freedom. My name is Georgia King. I'm
- 0:22Speaker 1: a copywriter and journalism student, and each week I sit
- 0:25Speaker 1: down to chat all things financed with Melbourne based money
- 0:28Speaker 1: guru Victoria Devine. Victoria, Hello, Georgia, Hello, Hello. Now today
- 0:33Speaker 1: on the show, we're asking one very big question, that is,
- 0:37Speaker 1: what would you do with one million dollars? Now, we've
- 0:40Speaker 1: all fantasized about it, We've bought the lot of tickets,
- 0:42Speaker 1: we've applied to be on Eddie McGuire's Who wants to
- 0:44Speaker 1: be a Millionaire. But when it comes down to it,
- 0:47Speaker 1: if you received this massive sum of money, what on
- 0:50Speaker 1: earth would you actually do with it?
- 0:52Speaker 2: Is it bad that I've never done either of those things?
- 0:54Speaker 2: We're like, sorry to ruin you. You've never bought a
- 0:56Speaker 2: lot of tickets, No, nor have I applied to be
- 0:58Speaker 2: on Eddie mcguise Who wants to be a Millionaire.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Will be unpacking all of that, Plus we'll be hearing
- 1:03Speaker 1: from a listener who is unsure about what to do
- 1:05Speaker 1: with her inheritance. Before we dive deep, Victoria money wins
- 1:09Speaker 1: and confessions from the week. I know what you're going
- 1:11Speaker 1: to say.
- 1:11Speaker 2: Georgia King, I got a dog. I know. So she
- 1:15Speaker 2: is literally the most beautiful thing that I've ever seen
- 1:18Speaker 2: in my entire life, which is obviously not overdrugged by
- 1:22Speaker 2: inner stretch of the imagination. Her name is Lucy, and
- 1:25Speaker 2: Lucy is nine weeks old and is my money confession
- 1:29Speaker 2: this week because of how much money I've spent at
- 1:31Speaker 2: Camart on dog toys.
- 1:32Speaker 1: What are we talking?
- 1:33Speaker 2: Oh, look, more than I'm willing to admit to. Because
- 1:36Speaker 2: it wasn't just camar. I also went online and then
- 1:39Speaker 2: I got a little bit carried away and found some
- 1:41Speaker 2: Instagram accounts that had some really fun dog accessories. And
- 1:45Speaker 2: I grew up with dogs. I love dogs. I have
- 1:47Speaker 2: literally waited my entire life to get a dog. If
- 1:49Speaker 2: you know me personally, you know it is literally all
- 1:52Speaker 2: I talk about. The number one thing my partner and
- 1:55Speaker 2: I talk about in the mornings on our morning walks
- 1:57Speaker 2: together is dogs. I point out every dog that we
- 2:01Speaker 2: go past. I'm also on Snapchat with my friends and
- 2:04Speaker 2: I pretty much exclusively use it as a dog spotting app,
- 2:08Speaker 2: and I will take photos of people's dogs and send
- 2:10Speaker 2: it to them and be like, hey, number three dog today,
- 2:13Speaker 2: you're welcome friends.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Stunning.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Yeah. So I'm a bit dog obsessed and always have been,
- 2:18Speaker 2: and now I'm so excited to be in a position
- 2:20Speaker 2: where I can actually give the dog off my dreams
- 2:23Speaker 2: the laugh it deserves. So I'm super excited about her
- 2:27Speaker 2: and just super excited about that. She's also the official
- 2:29Speaker 2: She's on the Money office dog because she will be
- 2:32Speaker 2: in the office occasionally. I don't know how long that
- 2:34Speaker 2: will last though, because guys, she's going to get to
- 2:36Speaker 2: like thirty kilos at least are the big dogs. Yeah,
- 2:39Speaker 2: she's going to be a big dog.
- 2:40Speaker 1: What kind of dog is it again?
- 2:41Speaker 2: She's an old English sheep dog crosspoodle thing. Yeah, she's
- 2:45Speaker 2: utiful anyway, if you guys. Obviously just a subtle plug.
- 2:50Speaker 2: I made her in Instagram account. So that's Lucy the
- 2:52Speaker 2: Golden Sheeperdoodle for those of you following along at home.
- 2:56Speaker 2: But yeah, like that's my money confession slash plug for
- 2:59Speaker 2: my dog Instagram. I promised myself I wouldn't be that person.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Yet here we.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Are a little influencer dog. I love that for you.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Do you see the influencer it's stunning. It's gonna happen.
- 3:08Speaker 2: It's gonna happen. Georgia King, have you got a money
- 3:11Speaker 2: win all confession for me? That could potentially rival a puppy?
- 3:14Speaker 1: No, nothing could rival a puppy dull. It is much
- 3:18Speaker 1: more small scale. So recently I discovered this brand called
- 3:24Speaker 1: Flower Makeup brand. It's brand that's quite interesting for me anyway.
- 3:31Speaker 1: I actually can't remember the shade, which is going to
- 3:33Speaker 1: be frustrating for everyone listening. But it's this lovely kind
- 3:35Speaker 1: of beigey, quite neutral toned color and it is delicious anyway,
- 3:41Speaker 1: big fan. It was only ten dollars, but I got
- 3:44Speaker 1: it half priced for five dollars guys, So three cheers
- 3:47Speaker 1: for George.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Would the color potentially be spiced petture?
- 3:51Speaker 1: That's the one?
- 3:52Speaker 3: That one?
- 3:53Speaker 1: It's that the one. Do you have that one?
- 3:54Speaker 3: To?
- 3:54Speaker 2: Yeah? I have that one. It's the one I keep
- 3:56Speaker 2: recommending that you purchase. And now you think that you've
- 3:59Speaker 2: discovered the slipped stick brand.
- 4:00Speaker 1: All on your own. When did you recommend it?
- 4:02Speaker 2: When you were talking about how you wanted the Charlotte
- 4:04Speaker 2: Tillsbury version of it? Oh my gosh, so expensive, like
- 4:09Speaker 2: months ago, Georgia King. I feel like you are my
- 4:11Speaker 2: small sibling who doesn't listen to anything I say and
- 4:14Speaker 2: then thinks they've discovered themselves. But that's cool, that's cool.
- 4:17Speaker 2: I'm glad that you've got that money in because it's literally,
- 4:20Speaker 2: I would argue, one of the best tubes for the
- 4:22Speaker 2: Charlotte Tillsbury pillow talk. If you guys are into makeup,
- 4:27Speaker 2: you would know that that is kind of like a
- 4:29Speaker 2: cult favorite. But it's also only available I think online
- 4:32Speaker 2: and overseas, yep. And it's also kind of pricey. It's
- 4:35Speaker 2: like forty five dollars USD.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Think it might be oh yeah, USD probably.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like an American price, but yeah, I think
- 4:41Speaker 2: that's what it was. So it's not cheap.
- 4:43Speaker 1: But guys, flower lipstick is cheap, so get that on
- 4:46Speaker 1: your flower lipstick. Yep.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Five bucks Chemist Warehouse. We're not sponsored by them.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Would love to be, but oh that'd be good, true,
- 4:53Speaker 1: that would listening. Get in touch hunt alrighty V. Let's
- 4:56Speaker 1: move straight across to the Facebook group. Did any posts
- 5:00Speaker 1: stand out to you this week?
- 5:01Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, yes, I have a post this week
- 5:03Speaker 2: from our friend Emily who posted money Win. Now this
- 5:07Speaker 2: one is a long story, but also a very beautiful one.
- 5:10Speaker 2: In twenty fifteen, when she was nineteen, she met her
- 5:13Speaker 2: beautiful husband, and a week after they started dating, they
- 5:16Speaker 2: found out that he was terminally ill. They ended up
- 5:18Speaker 2: getting married, which is so cute, and had almost two
- 5:21Speaker 2: wonderful years together before she lost him in twenty seventeen
- 5:24Speaker 2: when she was twenty one. In that time, she stopped
- 5:27Speaker 2: work to care for him, which honestly is such a
- 5:29Speaker 2: beautiful thing to do, and it was one of the
- 5:32Speaker 2: hardest things that she's ever been through. She was really
- 5:34Speaker 2: lost in a very dark place mentally and financially, and
- 5:37Speaker 2: as you can imagine, two years of constant hospital stays
- 5:40Speaker 2: and being four hours from her home was extremely pressing financially.
- 5:45Speaker 2: So this story is really beautiful because she said, you know,
- 5:48Speaker 2: all of that happened. She was living week to week,
- 5:50Speaker 2: had no savings. Parents looked after her, which is, you know,
- 5:54Speaker 2: such a beautiful thing to do as well, And she said,
- 5:56Speaker 2: a year and a half later, she met her now partner,
- 5:59Speaker 2: and she's worked really hard to become mentally and financially stable,
- 6:02Speaker 2: and now two and a half years after meeting her partner,
- 6:05Speaker 2: they've just built their first home, and I just this
- 6:08Speaker 2: story was so beautiful. The comments on this were even better.
- 6:11Speaker 2: I just feel like it is a constant reminder that
- 6:14Speaker 2: no matter how bad things can get, you can come
- 6:16Speaker 2: out of it. She said that she had lost all
- 6:18Speaker 2: hope and she thought that she'd be, you know, stuck
- 6:20Speaker 2: where she was for the rest of her life. But
- 6:22Speaker 2: now she's here, She's kicking goals and embracing the beautiful
- 6:25Speaker 2: things that life has to offer. And she just wanted
- 6:27Speaker 2: to remind everybody that you should all hang in there.
- 6:30Speaker 2: And I just think that that was Ah, this is
- 6:32Speaker 2: what our community is about, Georgia and these these stories. Honestly,
- 6:36Speaker 2: how grateful are we to receive these? She took the
- 6:39Speaker 2: time to share that with us, and I honestly I
- 6:42Speaker 2: had a bit of a teary when I read all
- 6:44Speaker 2: the comments because everybody was so supportive and congratulating her,
- 6:48Speaker 2: and just there was so many beautiful comments.
- 6:49Speaker 1: I have goosebumps hearing you read that again, and I
- 6:52Speaker 1: did when I read it myself as well. It's just
- 6:54Speaker 1: so moving.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Yeah, look, Emily, thank you for sharing that. It was
- 6:57Speaker 2: really beautiful. And she uploaded too, really really lovely pictures
- 7:01Speaker 2: one of her past partner and one of her current partner,
- 7:03Speaker 2: and I just think that, you know, she's honoring both
- 7:05Speaker 2: of them in such a great way.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for sharing, Emily.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Georgia King, do you have a money win or confession
- 7:11Speaker 2: from the community that you would like to share with us?
- 7:14Speaker 1: So this is very much a mood shift. So mine
- 7:17Speaker 1: is a simple little money win related to food and gifting.
- 7:21Speaker 1: So it's from Chloe and she needed gifts for Christmas
- 7:24Speaker 1: for her personal training clients, and she decided to make
- 7:28Speaker 1: homemade healthy granola. Yem it looks incredible. So the cost
- 7:32Speaker 1: of the eight jars and ribbon that she's used was
- 7:34Speaker 1: fifteen dollars. The cost of the ingredients for the granola
- 7:38Speaker 1: was also fifteen dollars from aldi little shout out to
- 7:40Speaker 1: our mates, and the total cost per gift came down
- 7:44Speaker 1: to three dollars seventy five.
- 7:45Speaker 2: And it actually looks delicious, doesn't it. I love breakfast out.
- 7:49Speaker 1: I'm quite interested in stealing some.
- 7:52Speaker 2: I actually think that looks like such beautiful granola actually,
- 7:55Speaker 2: And my favorite part about that was Chloe actually gave
- 7:57Speaker 2: us the recipe. She did. She did, and what are
- 8:00Speaker 2: you going to do with it? This week?
- 8:00Speaker 1: Georgia Kings love that in the newsletter gels.
- 8:03Speaker 2: So everybody, Chloe's granola recipe is going to be in
- 8:06Speaker 2: our newsletter this week.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Percent is Now we'll move on to the main chat today. Guys.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Before our show today, we asked in the Facebook group
- 8:14Speaker 1: what you would do with one million dollars and here
- 8:16Speaker 1: is what you had to say.
- 8:18Speaker 4: If I want a million dollars, I would buy my
- 8:21Speaker 4: mama house and set her up so she never has
- 8:23Speaker 4: to worry about money again. Hey, girls, my name is
- 8:28Speaker 4: Erin and if I want a million dollars today, I
- 8:31Speaker 4: would want to buy a blimp. I don't really know
- 8:34Speaker 4: how to justify this outrageous purchase, but as far as
- 8:37Speaker 4: I know, there's only one in the Southern Hemisphere, and
- 8:40Speaker 4: there's opportunities for ongoing advertising rights. I mean, how often
- 8:44Speaker 4: do you see a blimp in the sky? Plus I
- 8:47Speaker 4: can tell ride tickets on it too. Anyway, thanks ladies,
- 8:52Speaker 4: at least enough hungies to roll around in a photo
- 8:55Speaker 4: shoot before I.
- 8:56Speaker 2: Realized I had to kind of be responsible.
- 8:58Speaker 3: With it.
- 9:00Speaker 1: A million dollars.
- 9:01Speaker 5: First of all, I would do nothing and tell nobody,
- 9:04Speaker 5: probably for like a month, and then I would.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Book a financial advisor appointment. I'd probably aim to like
- 9:10Speaker 1: keep one hundred thousand dollars for a house deposit because
- 9:14Speaker 1: interest rates are quite low, and invest everything else. Now,
- 9:18Speaker 1: it is a weirdly hard question to answer. B and
- 9:21Speaker 1: I love the variety that we had in that little
- 9:23Speaker 1: audio clip from our community there. I think buying a
- 9:26Speaker 1: blimp was probably my favorite suggestion, even though we realized
- 9:29Speaker 1: that they actually cost forty to seventy million. But eron in.
- 9:33Speaker 2: This so honestly, erin gohard or go home.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Yeah, and we were saying we could even maybe start
- 9:37Speaker 1: a go Fundme page and we could all put in
- 9:39Speaker 1: for a blimp. So another common theme that came up
- 9:42Speaker 1: V was buying a house, which I feel like makes sense.
- 9:44Speaker 1: That's pretty seems like a sensible thing to do with
- 9:47Speaker 1: a million dollars.
- 9:48Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie, that's a little bit more achievable
- 9:50Speaker 2: than a blimp.
- 9:50Speaker 1: But what were your favorites from the suggestions we had
- 9:55Speaker 1: in the Facebook group.
- 9:55Speaker 2: I really liked the vegan gingerbread house that was life size,
- 10:00Speaker 2: like that was really reasonable. I also loved the cars.
- 10:03Speaker 2: I loved that people wanted to pay off their debt,
- 10:06Speaker 2: and I also loved that so many of you said
- 10:08Speaker 2: that you would share it. How kind was that so
- 10:10Speaker 2: many people were like, oh my gosh, I were distributed
- 10:12Speaker 2: among my family to charity, some to charity. Yeah, you
- 10:15Speaker 2: guys are all epic and I absolutely loved your answers,
- 10:18Speaker 2: So that was really fun. Maybe we should get the
- 10:19Speaker 2: community involved more, send us more voice memos, Love fast.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Memo, They're the best. So sadly, though, not all of
- 10:26Speaker 1: us are going to win a hot one million dollars
- 10:28Speaker 1: out of nowhere, nice as it would be.
- 10:31Speaker 2: What it's not common explain to.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Our listeners who are at home thinking, how on earth
- 10:37Speaker 1: is this relevant to me? Like the girls have lost
- 10:39Speaker 1: the plot? Can you explain why we have decided to
- 10:41Speaker 1: dedicate a whole show to this topic?
- 10:43Speaker 2: Look, well, we have lost the plot. It is coming
- 10:45Speaker 2: up to Christmas. But also I felt like this was
- 10:48Speaker 2: going to be a super interesting topic. How many times
- 10:51Speaker 2: have we all fantasized about winning a million dollars? Or
- 10:54Speaker 2: we ask our friends at the dinner table like what
- 10:55Speaker 2: would you do with a million dollars? Like we've all
- 10:58Speaker 2: asked that question once in our lives. But I completely
- 11:02Speaker 2: gain that this topic might seem a little bit unrelatable,
- 11:05Speaker 2: and George, you are bang on. Realistically, not many of
- 11:07Speaker 2: us aren't actually going to win a million dollars. But
- 11:10Speaker 2: what I'm really interested in discussing today is two things.
- 11:13Speaker 2: First things, first, the psychology around what happens when we
- 11:15Speaker 2: do suddenly have a lump sum of money in our
- 11:18Speaker 2: hot little hands and we don't know what to do
- 11:20Speaker 2: with that, be that from an inheritance or a mammoth
- 11:22Speaker 2: pay rise or winning the lotto. Then secondly, I wanted
- 11:26Speaker 2: to talk about what we should be doing with that money.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Should we be saving, should be investing, should we be
- 11:31Speaker 2: spending it? Should we be you know, sharing it with
- 11:32Speaker 2: our friends and family? And I also really want to
- 11:34Speaker 2: chat today about why so many people who do win
- 11:37Speaker 2: big or end up with huge amounts of money can
- 11:39Speaker 2: often end up burning through it so so quickly. So
- 11:42Speaker 2: I get why people might be thinking, what on earth
- 11:45Speaker 2: are they thinking? What is this episode about? But I
- 11:47Speaker 2: promise you it is going to be a super interesting.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Chat, and let's start in a very interesting place here
- 11:53Speaker 1: be We're going to cut to the million dollar question. Hahaha,
- 11:56Speaker 1: what would you Victoria divine financial Advisor extraordinary do with
- 12:02Speaker 1: one million dollars? Do you save it, spend it, or
- 12:04Speaker 1: invest it.
- 12:05Speaker 2: On dog toys? Like I feel like that's something that
- 12:07Speaker 2: I would genuinely do. But if somebody gave me a
- 12:10Speaker 2: million dollars today, I would be putting it into my
- 12:12Speaker 2: share portfolio because, and I've said it before, passive income
- 12:16Speaker 2: is the thing that I am working towards. And passive
- 12:19Speaker 2: income from a million dollars, if we had a five
- 12:22Speaker 2: percent return, would mean about fifty thousand dollars a year
- 12:25Speaker 2: of passive income, and that would be money I didn't
- 12:27Speaker 2: have to work for for the rest of my life.
- 12:30Speaker 2: So a lot of you guys said, oh, I'd go
- 12:32Speaker 2: and buy a home outright, My friends, I would not.
- 12:35Speaker 2: If a home was my goal, I would be purchasing
- 12:39Speaker 2: a home with a mortgage because at the moment, interest
- 12:41Speaker 2: rates are really low. We hear us seeing twos and
- 12:44Speaker 2: ones at the start of interest rates now, which is crazy.
- 12:47Speaker 2: And I would use that passive income of fifty thousand
- 12:49Speaker 2: dollars a year to pay back my mortgage over the
- 12:52Speaker 2: long term, so that at the end of my mortgage,
- 12:55Speaker 2: I had a completely paid off house and I still
- 12:57Speaker 2: had my million dollars.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Okay, So that sounds like quite a thing to do.
- 13:01Speaker 1: But the stats show us that a good number of
- 13:03Speaker 1: people who win money suddenly do actually burn through it just.
- 13:06Speaker 2: As quickly they do so.
- 13:07Speaker 1: In one study of lot of winners, seventy percent of
- 13:09Speaker 1: them has spent every last time of their jackpot within
- 13:12Speaker 1: five years of winning. Now, you obviously know a lot
- 13:15Speaker 1: about behavioral psychology, V. Can you explain to us be
- 13:19Speaker 1: what's going on here and what the key differences are
- 13:21Speaker 1: between money earned and money one.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Yeah, these stats are not surprising to me. Gee, I
- 13:26Speaker 2: hear about this happening all the time. Not necessarily people
- 13:30Speaker 2: who are winning the lotto and then just losing it all,
- 13:32Speaker 2: but more people who are inheriting large sums of money
- 13:34Speaker 2: and not really having the financial literacy to know what
- 13:37Speaker 2: to do with it. This is why I'm so passionate
- 13:39Speaker 2: about financial education and why it is so important, because
- 13:42Speaker 2: even if you do win the lotto, or if you
- 13:44Speaker 2: have a cozy six figure salary, that doesn't automatically make
- 13:47Speaker 2: you wealthy. Rich on a superficial level, yeah, sure, but
- 13:50Speaker 2: genuinely wealthy no, of course, if we put a proper
- 13:53Speaker 2: plan in place and map out what we're going to
- 13:55Speaker 2: do with that money and set ourselves up for the
- 13:57Speaker 2: future and for future you, then you're going to be
- 13:59Speaker 2: in much better place. But ultimately, I think the key
- 14:01Speaker 2: reason behind why people are losing their fortunes when they
- 14:05Speaker 2: just get them is a lack of education, and I
- 14:07Speaker 2: wish they had the foresight to see the benefit of
- 14:08Speaker 2: meeting with a financial advisor to make sure that that
- 14:11Speaker 2: money could set them up for an amazing comfortable life
- 14:13Speaker 2: instead of you know, living large for five years and
- 14:15Speaker 2: then doing absolutely nothing beyond that, which is kind of scary.
- 14:19Speaker 2: When it comes to money earned, I think that most
- 14:21Speaker 2: people would agree that it is much harder to part
- 14:23Speaker 2: with money that you've actually earned yourself because you've spent
- 14:26Speaker 2: time and energy working for it, compared to money you
- 14:29Speaker 2: were gifted or if you won. When you've had to
- 14:32Speaker 2: put the man hours into building these finances, you don't
- 14:34Speaker 2: necessarily want to just go and blow it all on
- 14:36Speaker 2: the weekend. Whereas if you found one hundred bucks on
- 14:38Speaker 2: the ground today, George, many people would just spend it
- 14:41Speaker 2: because it's quote free money or it's a bit of
- 14:43Speaker 2: a bonus that they can splurge a little with. Instead
- 14:45Speaker 2: of being like, oh, this one hundred dollars will look
- 14:47Speaker 2: really pretty in my micro investing account. Actually, there may
- 14:50Speaker 2: be some people in ashes on the money community that
- 14:52Speaker 2: would immediately think of that. I'm thinking of my friend Fiona,
- 14:55Speaker 2: who is my Instagram friend, who's the markdown hustle for
- 14:57Speaker 2: those of you playing along the home, and I guarantee
- 14:59Speaker 2: you should have invested that. I know you, Fiona, I
- 15:02Speaker 2: love you, Fiona. But I think you get the gist
- 15:05Speaker 2: of what I'm trying to say. We treat money, we
- 15:07Speaker 2: are gifted or awarded very differently to the money that
- 15:09Speaker 2: we have earned ourselves. This perception ends up extending to
- 15:13Speaker 2: things like your tax return, which people often get very
- 15:16Speaker 2: excited about because you, guys, seem to think that it
- 15:18Speaker 2: is free money, even though it's money that you've already
- 15:20Speaker 2: worked really hard for. The government took it from you,
- 15:22Speaker 2: and now they're giving it back.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Like.
- 15:23Speaker 2: It is not free money. It is money that you've
- 15:25Speaker 2: earned and you need to do something with. Won't harp
- 15:28Speaker 2: on about that, because you best believe I'm going to
- 15:29Speaker 2: do an episode on that in the new year, probably
- 15:32Speaker 2: closer to tax time though, just so it's really relevant.
- 15:34Speaker 2: Kind of hits you in the face. You can't forget
- 15:36Speaker 2: it now, This little theory of mine is actually backed
- 15:39Speaker 2: up by a few other people. It's not just me
- 15:41Speaker 2: saying this, as you guys would probably already know, including
- 15:45Speaker 2: an economist called Richard Taylor who coined the term mental accounting,
- 15:49Speaker 2: which refers to the contrasting value we place on the
- 15:52Speaker 2: same amount of money. So basically, the theory says that
- 15:55Speaker 2: on an individual level, we classify money differently depending on
- 15:58Speaker 2: how we've acquired it or what we dedicate it to. Now,
- 16:02Speaker 2: our friend Thala says that the way that we fight
- 16:05Speaker 2: against this natural mental accounting is to think of money
- 16:08Speaker 2: as fungible, which is very fun to say. So when
- 16:11Speaker 2: we say money is fungible, it means that no matter
- 16:14Speaker 2: how it is acquired or what we plan to do
- 16:16Speaker 2: with it, all money is exactly the same. We can't
- 16:19Speaker 2: think of our tax return as free bonus money. We
- 16:21Speaker 2: need to think of it the same way we think
- 16:23Speaker 2: of the weeks it might have taken us to earn
- 16:25Speaker 2: the same amount. So for me, I think it's just
- 16:28Speaker 2: really important to really see the true value of money
- 16:31Speaker 2: instead of thinking that some money is free and some
- 16:33Speaker 2: money is earned, and like that whole thing gets a
- 16:35Speaker 2: little bit cloudy. So money is money, and that's how
- 16:38Speaker 2: we should be dealing with it.
- 16:39Speaker 1: Fungible is such a good word. I didn't really know
- 16:42Speaker 1: it before today's podcast either, but fun fungible like spongible.
- 16:46Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a word either, to be honest,
- 16:48Speaker 1: but it's.
- 16:49Speaker 2: A fun word to say. And when I saw it
- 16:51Speaker 2: written down, I was like, Oh, this is going to
- 16:52Speaker 2: be a weird word to say, like the word moist.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Yeah, don't bring moist into this chatterh friends, Oh I
- 17:00Speaker 1: love it. I actually remember a few years ago when
- 17:04Speaker 1: I was on an hourly rate when I worked at
- 17:06Speaker 1: the Maze down on the Peninsula. A few girls, a
- 17:09Speaker 1: few of the Maize girls are big fans of this podcast,
- 17:12Speaker 1: and a few Vickid so shout out to the Maze
- 17:15Speaker 1: girls listening right now.
- 17:16Speaker 2: My little sister was one of those two.
- 17:18Speaker 1: That's how I'm at Young Debo. When I worked there,
- 17:21Speaker 1: I would say it. I went shopping, I would look
- 17:23Speaker 1: at a dress and I'd be like, Oh, I really
- 17:25Speaker 1: want that. But then I'd be like, oh, no, that
- 17:27Speaker 1: is like the equivalent to four or five hours at
- 17:29Speaker 1: the Maize, So I'm gonna put it back. I don't
- 17:31Speaker 1: want it. And I just think It's really interesting the
- 17:33Speaker 1: way our brain plays kind of tricks on us like that,
- 17:35Speaker 1: and it catches you out. But then other times, like
- 17:37Speaker 1: if you just found two hundred dollars on the ground,
- 17:39Speaker 1: you'd be like, oh wow, free. Also like who has
- 17:41Speaker 1: ever found two hundred dollars on the ground?
- 17:43Speaker 2: I don't know. Can people post in our Facebook group
- 17:46Speaker 2: the most amount of money they've ever found? But also
- 17:48Speaker 2: what did you do with it? Like at what point
- 17:50Speaker 2: are you meant to hand it in to someone? Like
- 17:53Speaker 2: five bucks? Cool, that's a free coffee for you. Hey, look,
- 17:56Speaker 2: that's me using that. I'm not fungible at all. But
- 17:59Speaker 2: also if you found five bucks, like, I get it.
- 18:02Speaker 2: I have that same mentality we're talking about it. Do
- 18:04Speaker 2: as I say, not as I do my friends. But
- 18:06Speaker 2: at what point do you need to hand it in?
- 18:07Speaker 2: Like if you found five hundred dollars in an envelope
- 18:09Speaker 2: on the ground, do you need to give that?
- 18:11Speaker 1: Who? Do you give it to the police?
- 18:12Speaker 2: Like, I don't know, I would assume the police.
- 18:14Speaker 1: Yeah, in saying that, I have been known to pick
- 18:16Speaker 1: up like two dollars from the ground. That's okay, right,
- 18:19Speaker 1: I'm not handing that into any one. Hey, someone left this.
- 18:22Speaker 2: No, I know that would be weird. That would be weird.
- 18:25Speaker 2: But like, what if you found one hundred thousand dollars
- 18:27Speaker 2: under a house that you bought because someone had like
- 18:30Speaker 2: stashed it there and then like not forgotten about it.
- 18:32Speaker 2: I don't know how you forget about it? But you
- 18:34Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like, is that a thing? Is
- 18:36Speaker 2: that something that's happening? Yeah, tell us, tell us, I'm so.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Interested in the FB group and we will approve that immediately.
- 18:42Speaker 2: Also, like, what is the lowest denomination of money that
- 18:45Speaker 2: you would pick up off the ground, Georgia.
- 18:46Speaker 1: It has to be gold, you can't. I'm not interested
- 18:48Speaker 1: in silver. But maybe that's a horribly privileged thing to say.
- 18:51Speaker 1: But I don't know.
- 18:53Speaker 2: So you're not about a bird at the heart. You
- 18:55Speaker 2: only like gold.
- 18:55Speaker 1: It's got to be gold, don't I N I'm down
- 18:58Speaker 1: for but only if no one's watching. Anyway, let's get
- 19:00Speaker 1: to a podcast. So I wanted to go bigger here, fye,
- 19:04Speaker 1: We're not just talking about one dollar on the ground.
- 19:06Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you if you won like sixty
- 19:09Speaker 1: million dollars in the power Ball, would you still work? Yes?
- 19:14Speaker 2: I would still work, But I'm a bit crazy in
- 19:17Speaker 2: saying that it would completely depend on who you are
- 19:20Speaker 2: as a person and like what makes you tick, what
- 19:22Speaker 2: makes you happy, Like some people literally work to live,
- 19:25Speaker 2: whereas I live to work. I suppose is that the
- 19:28Speaker 2: right quote? I think yes, And now I know that
- 19:31Speaker 2: I would still work because I literally love what I
- 19:33Speaker 2: do and I just feel like that freedom, Like how
- 19:35Speaker 2: cool would it be if I didn't have to earn
- 19:37Speaker 2: any money ever, and I could just do Sheese on
- 19:39Speaker 2: the Money twenty four seven without any money concerns Because
- 19:42Speaker 2: at the end of the day, I am literally, like
- 19:44Speaker 2: you guys, I'm trying to create wealth and build wealth
- 19:46Speaker 2: and like, you know, get an income and all of
- 19:48Speaker 2: that other fun stuff. But yes, I would still work.
- 19:51Speaker 2: But I think if some people scored sixty mil, I
- 19:54Speaker 2: definitely think that they just quit their job pretty pronto
- 19:56Speaker 2: and start living large. In saying that, though, I think
- 19:59Speaker 2: it would be really important to also let you know
- 20:02Speaker 2: that there are a number of mental health aspects to that,
- 20:06Speaker 2: so I think it would be a really big challenge
- 20:08Speaker 2: to stop working completely. I was reading through some studies
- 20:11Speaker 2: recently in prep for today's episode and found that after unemployment,
- 20:15Speaker 2: symptoms of summatization depression and anxiety were significantly greater in
- 20:20Speaker 2: the unemployed than those who were employed. And now Joja.
- 20:23Speaker 2: While we probably don't need a study to tell us this,
- 20:25Speaker 2: because it kind of just makes sense. For many of us.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Work gives us somewhere to go and something to do,
- 20:30Speaker 2: and I really do think that the value of purpose
- 20:32Speaker 2: really can't be diminished. So for me, I think, yes,
- 20:36Speaker 2: we'd start living large, but maybe we'd still work. About
- 20:38Speaker 2: how cool would it be to have the freedom to
- 20:40Speaker 2: choose to not work for money anymore and be able
- 20:43Speaker 2: to follow your passion or something that you really love.
- 20:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's exactly right, as long as you've
- 20:48Speaker 1: still got that purpose in some way or another.
- 20:50Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 20:52Speaker 1: I also read about this idea called sudden wealth syndrome,
- 20:55Speaker 1: which impacts people who come into large sums of money
- 20:58Speaker 1: quite suddenly. Can you explain that a little more?
- 21:01Speaker 2: Yes, Georgia, I actually love this. It is an idea
- 21:04Speaker 2: that was initially coined by doctor Stephen Golbart, who is
- 21:07Speaker 2: a psychologist so for in America, and it basically refers
- 21:10Speaker 2: to the anxiety, guilt, and isolation that comes with coming
- 21:13Speaker 2: into sudden wealth. Now, I think it would be pretty
- 21:16Speaker 2: fair to say that many of us would imagine that
- 21:18Speaker 2: winning the lotter would fix all of our problems and
- 21:20Speaker 2: life would just suddenly become a breeze. But according to
- 21:22Speaker 2: this sudden wealth syndrome idea, people who come into significant
- 21:26Speaker 2: sums of money can become overwhelmed and overspend, or maybe
- 21:29Speaker 2: they lend silly amounts of money to family and friends,
- 21:32Speaker 2: which we all know is a fraught with danger. And
- 21:34Speaker 2: people can also grow super suspicious of those around them
- 21:37Speaker 2: because they don't know what their motives are. Now, the
- 21:40Speaker 2: thing here is that most people who come into huge
- 21:42Speaker 2: sums of money, be that money one or inherited or
- 21:45Speaker 2: whatever that might be, is that they don't necessarily have
- 21:48Speaker 2: the financial education to know what to do with that
- 21:51Speaker 2: money or the inherited assets. So the point here that
- 21:54Speaker 2: I really want you guys to take home with you
- 21:56Speaker 2: is that winning buckets of cash won't actually solve all
- 21:59Speaker 2: our issues. It might solve a few of them. The
- 22:02Speaker 2: fact that I really really really want another dog, even
- 22:05Speaker 2: though it sounds super delightful and payback and maybe having
- 22:07Speaker 2: your own yod or like a private jet or something
- 22:09Speaker 2: sounds pretty boogie, but the reality is often not nearly
- 22:13Speaker 2: as shiny as we imagine. And I know that some
- 22:15Speaker 2: people who do inherit large sums of money or end
- 22:18Speaker 2: up winning money, because I do have clients in both
- 22:20Speaker 2: of those situations, Georgia, they don't actually tell anybody at all,
- 22:24Speaker 2: and I think that that is probably a really good
- 22:26Speaker 2: thing to take away from this as well, is sometimes
- 22:29Speaker 2: the less people know, the better about your financial situation
- 22:32Speaker 2: when it comes to things like that. Like I'm all
- 22:34Speaker 2: about open, honest money conversations, and I talk about that
- 22:37Speaker 2: all the time, but when I talk about having open
- 22:40Speaker 2: and honest money conversations, I don't necessarily mean tell everybody
- 22:44Speaker 2: what's in your bank account or tell your friends what
- 22:45Speaker 2: you earn. Like, we can have money conversations without making
- 22:48Speaker 2: them personal, and that is really important to remember. So
- 22:51Speaker 2: if you have come into a large sum of money
- 22:54Speaker 2: and you're feeling really anxious or guilty about it, like,
- 22:56Speaker 2: you do not have to tell anybody if you don't
- 22:59Speaker 2: want to, and sometimes it's actually better for you to not,
- 23:02Speaker 2: especially if you are young.
- 23:04Speaker 1: And remember as well that I can't remember which episode
- 23:07Speaker 1: we were talking about it, but I remember we were
- 23:09Speaker 1: chatting about the unwarranted advice that like Uncle Bill may
- 23:14Speaker 1: give you it family Christmas, Oh my gosh, you know. So, yeah,
- 23:18Speaker 1: if you're going to get advice from someone, get it
- 23:20Speaker 1: from a financial advisor.
- 23:22Speaker 2: I mean, ask people that you trust, like ask family members.
- 23:25Speaker 2: And obviously sometimes family are absolutely going to know if
- 23:28Speaker 2: you have inherited a large sum of money. But I
- 23:31Speaker 2: think it's really hard because some of my clients have
- 23:34Speaker 2: said historically that they wish they hadn't told their friends
- 23:38Speaker 2: about their inheritance because it kind of ends up being
- 23:41Speaker 2: a pain point for them when they just want to
- 23:43Speaker 2: live off their income that they currently haven't invested for
- 23:45Speaker 2: the future or whatever it is. So I think it's
- 23:48Speaker 2: sometimes you really do want to have those conversations. And
- 23:50Speaker 2: I'm not saying don't talk about it, because I would
- 23:53Speaker 2: never want someone to feel like they can't.
- 23:54Speaker 1: Talk about it.
- 23:55Speaker 2: That would be isolated exactly. But sometimes in the heat
- 23:57Speaker 2: of the moment, when everything is really emotional, sometimes the
- 24:00Speaker 2: best thing that you can do is just put that
- 24:03Speaker 2: conversation on ice, like just because you're inheriting money. And
- 24:06Speaker 2: this is totally going off on a tangent, but it's
- 24:08Speaker 2: something that I'm super passionate about because inheritance is actually
- 24:11Speaker 2: what I specialize in. And what I work with with
- 24:13Speaker 2: my clients the most. Sometimes it just needs to sit
- 24:17Speaker 2: in your account for six months and you not do
- 24:19Speaker 2: anything because you need to deal with the emotional trauma
- 24:21Speaker 2: of going through that situation. Sometimes it will take a year,
- 24:24Speaker 2: sometimes it takes two years. I think the most important
- 24:27Speaker 2: thing here is that if you've inherited money, and we'll
- 24:29Speaker 2: get into this later. I know you've got some great
- 24:31Speaker 2: stats on this because we couldn't stop talking about it
- 24:33Speaker 2: before we recorded. But if you've come into a large
- 24:36Speaker 2: sum of money, do not feel any pressure whatsoever to
- 24:39Speaker 2: invest that, or spend that, or do anything with that immediately.
- 24:43Speaker 2: Like that can wait. There is always going to be
- 24:45Speaker 2: another opportunity.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Yeah, and we will talk more about that because today's
- 24:49Speaker 1: listener question is framed around inheritance, so we'll get there.
- 24:53Speaker 1: My last question for you, v is about the Fashion
- 24:56Speaker 1: Avenue podcast, which on other day I'm just doing a
- 25:00Speaker 1: podcast with you asn't enough. I need to listen to
- 25:03Speaker 1: you when I'm not with you.
- 25:04Speaker 2: You know, I love that for you.
- 25:05Speaker 1: That's not weird at all.
- 25:07Speaker 2: George True.
- 25:08Speaker 1: The podcast host Amba asked you what you would choose
- 25:12Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day until you die, or one
- 25:15Speaker 1: million dollars right now. So if someone asked me this,
- 25:19Speaker 1: I think I would be like, yes, please, sir, I
- 25:21Speaker 1: will have the one million you would do, But what
- 25:24Speaker 1: would you say? What did you say on the podcast?
- 25:27Speaker 2: So first thing, so I think they're the number one
- 25:28Speaker 2: and say here would probably be a million dollars from
- 25:31Speaker 2: everybody else because you'd be an instant millionaire. Like that
- 25:34Speaker 2: is that crazy? But when we start breaking it down,
- 25:39Speaker 2: passive income for me is always, always, always going to win. Georgia,
- 25:42Speaker 2: you and I have had so many interesting conversations about this,
- 25:45Speaker 2: especially after all of the voice memos from people in
- 25:48Speaker 2: our community. I think it is one of those things
- 25:51Speaker 2: that you know, people just underestimate. So many people said, oh,
- 25:54Speaker 2: I'd buy a house, and it's like, well, you know
- 25:56Speaker 2: you could do that, but you could also get alone
- 25:59Speaker 2: and to keep your million dollars and have the passive
- 26:01Speaker 2: income that your million dollars is going to earn you
- 26:03Speaker 2: pay off your home. And I think it's just about
- 26:06Speaker 2: smart money decisions soon shifting our mindset around what can
- 26:10Speaker 2: this money do for me? Not what can this money
- 26:12Speaker 2: immediately buy? Like how can I make the money work
- 26:15Speaker 2: even harder than it's already working for me, so that
- 26:17Speaker 2: is something that I want you guys to take home.
- 26:19Speaker 2: But my answer was actually the one thousand dollars a day,
- 26:22Speaker 2: and I'm going to break it down because I think
- 26:24Speaker 2: it's really interesting when you get into it, and I
- 26:26Speaker 2: guarantee after i've explained this, Georgia, you're going to be like,
- 26:28Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I'll take the thousand dollars a day. Two.
- 26:31Speaker 2: So a thousand dollars a day is three hundred and
- 26:33Speaker 2: sixty five thousand dollars in a year, So that's pretty
- 26:36Speaker 2: good until you die. Like I could definitely live off that.
- 26:39Speaker 2: I don't know about you guys, but i'd be good comfortable.
- 26:42Speaker 2: But three hundred and sixty five thousand dollars a year
- 26:45Speaker 2: in passive revenue is equivalent to having seven point three
- 26:49Speaker 2: million dollars invested on your behalf. So that's obviously more
- 26:52Speaker 2: than a million dollars right now. But also, can we
- 26:55Speaker 2: also just preface this, I'm working off a rate of
- 26:57Speaker 2: return of five percent because that is super conservative and
- 27:00Speaker 2: I think really fair for right now. But then also
- 27:02Speaker 2: i'm obviously, because it's all hypothetical, my friend's not taking
- 27:06Speaker 2: into consideration any tax implications. So say you took the
- 27:10Speaker 2: million dollars and you really wanted to reach the same
- 27:13Speaker 2: outcome that I have because I took the thousand dollars
- 27:15Speaker 2: a day, Georgia, you'd have to do one of two things.
- 27:18Speaker 2: So you could invest your million dollars right now and
- 27:22Speaker 2: wait forty years. You wouldn't get any passive revenue. You'd
- 27:24Speaker 2: have to keep working in your day job. But here
- 27:26Speaker 2: it cheese on the money, yep. And with an average
- 27:28Speaker 2: rate of return in forty years, you'd have about the
- 27:30Speaker 2: same as what I have. So you'd just spend the
- 27:33Speaker 2: time or if you wanted it quicker, because obviously maybe
- 27:37Speaker 2: let's say in ten years, because you can't have it
- 27:39Speaker 2: right now, you could invest your million dollars and then, Georgia,
- 27:42Speaker 2: you'd just have to cough up a really easy forty
- 27:44Speaker 2: thousand dollars a month for the next ten years to
- 27:49Speaker 2: match my thousand dollars a day in passive revenue that
- 27:51Speaker 2: I had. Right So, does the thousand dollars a day
- 27:55Speaker 2: sound good? Now?
- 27:56Speaker 1: I think the thousand dollars a day sounds very good.
- 27:59Speaker 2: So to further compare, as I said before, the thousand
- 28:01Speaker 2: dollars a day's equivalent to three hundred and sixty five
- 28:03Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year. But if you had a million
- 28:06Speaker 2: dollars invested at a five percent interest rate return, you'd
- 28:09Speaker 2: only make fifty thousand dollars a year, which is obviously epic.
- 28:11Speaker 2: Still like, this is all hypothetical. This is just more
- 28:14Speaker 2: because I want you, guys to fully understand the impact
- 28:18Speaker 2: of investing and essentially what a dollar today means versus
- 28:21Speaker 2: a dollar tomorrow and all of that other fun stuff.
- 28:24Speaker 2: So the answer here, my friends, is take a thousand
- 28:25Speaker 2: dollars a day because you will be much better off
- 28:27Speaker 2: in the long term and the short term. It's seeds,
- 28:29Speaker 2: yeap love it. Like these are all hypotheticals. I wish
- 28:33Speaker 2: that people were just like walking around the city and
- 28:35Speaker 2: they're like, hey, just giving millions of dollars.
- 28:36Speaker 1: Out today, wouldn't that be nice?
- 28:38Speaker 2: I'll take it. If anybody knows where I'm putting my
- 28:41Speaker 2: hand up, I'll be there with bells on.
- 28:42Speaker 1: Share it in the Facebook group. So to wrap today, guys,
- 28:45Speaker 1: if you win a hot million dollars, don't just spend it.
- 28:48Speaker 1: See your financial advisor and get a plan in place,
- 28:51Speaker 1: and also remember to give you all money as fungible, fungible, bungible. Hi, there,
- 29:00Speaker 1: you've breached the ses on the money mailbox. Do you
- 29:02Speaker 1: have the money problem you want help solving. Do you
- 29:04Speaker 1: have a money dilemma you just want to chat about.
- 29:07Speaker 1: Victoria is here to help. Every week we'll be playing
- 29:10Speaker 1: your questions to help make sense of a money mess

- 29:24Speaker 2: Hey, Victoria and Georgia.
- 29:26Speaker 6: Someone in my family recently passed away, and quite unexpectedly,
- 29:29Speaker 6: I was mentioned in their will, and I'll be receiving
- 29:32Speaker 6: a quarter of a house that's valued at about six million.
- 29:35Speaker 6: The planners I know it at the moment, will be
- 29:37Speaker 6: to sell the home and split what it sells for.
- 29:40Speaker 6: But I wanted to ask you both about the anxiety
- 29:42Speaker 6: that I'm feeling about wasting such a big amount of money,
- 29:45Speaker 6: especially because I'm only twenty six and I don't want
- 29:48Speaker 6: to waste it. I'm also thinking perhaps I should split
- 29:51Speaker 6: it with other members of my immediate family. None of
- 29:54Speaker 6: whom were written into the will. Hope you can help
- 29:57Speaker 6: with advice and ideas.
- 29:58Speaker 2: Thanks ladies.
- 30:01Speaker 1: Okay, V a very big question here with a few
- 30:05Speaker 1: elements involved. Kick us off with wherever you want to start.
- 30:09Speaker 2: I don't know where I want to start with this one.
- 30:11Speaker 2: This is massive, and I know it can also be
- 30:14Speaker 2: a little bit unrelatable, but at the end of the day,
- 30:16Speaker 2: I think it's also really important to understand other people's
- 30:19Speaker 2: money stories because that helps you understand money better. And
- 30:22Speaker 2: the more you know, the more empowered you are, and
- 30:24Speaker 2: the more empowering you can be to others. So that
- 30:27Speaker 2: is why we want questions like this on the pod
- 30:29Speaker 2: instead of just having things that are always super relatable
- 30:31Speaker 2: to you. It's all about like open mindset and growth
- 30:34Speaker 2: mindset and just like pushing you to understand different mentality.
- 30:38Speaker 2: So I just want to preface that because sometimes we
- 30:40Speaker 2: do get feedback that they're not relatable enough, and I
- 30:42Speaker 2: get that, but you are still learning, Like you are
- 30:44Speaker 2: learning so much by hearing stories like this because you
- 30:48Speaker 2: now know so much more about wealth and wealth generation
- 30:51Speaker 2: and money, and I just think that's epic. Another thing
- 30:53Speaker 2: I want to preface as well is this wasn't just
- 30:56Speaker 2: a listener question. This was a listener question that came
- 30:58Speaker 2: in that has now converted into being a client of
- 31:00Speaker 2: mine because obviously she needs some help, so do not worry.
- 31:04Speaker 2: She is being looked after. But it is so normal
- 31:08Speaker 2: to have this sense of angst. It is such a
- 31:10Speaker 2: big deal to be written into somebody's will, and really
- 31:12Speaker 2: wanting to respect that money on behalf of the person
- 31:15Speaker 2: who handed it down makes so much sense. It can
- 31:17Speaker 2: also feel like so much pressure, like it is so hard,
- 31:21Speaker 2: And that goes back to what I was saying before.
- 31:23Speaker 2: You do not have to make any decision right now.
- 31:26Speaker 2: And if you are in this situation and you have
- 31:29Speaker 2: inherited a large amount of money, please do not feel
- 31:32Speaker 2: pressured by anyone, including a financial advisor, to invest it.
- 31:35Speaker 2: Like if a financial advisor ever tells you that you
- 31:37Speaker 2: need to do it asap, just run for the hills,
- 31:40Speaker 2: my friend, because it is a terrible idea because at
- 31:42Speaker 2: the end of the day, fifty percent of investing is mental.
- 31:45Speaker 2: You have to be invested in it mentally and physically,
- 31:48Speaker 2: because at the end of the day, if you're not comfortable,
- 31:51Speaker 2: you're probably going to pull your money out and lose
- 31:53Speaker 2: the long term gain of being invested for the long
- 31:55Speaker 2: term purely because you are scared. So it just makes
- 31:58Speaker 2: a lot of sense to just get good advice from
- 32:01Speaker 2: someone who respects you and also respects where it's come from,
- 32:04Speaker 2: because that is really special. At the end of the day,
- 32:06Speaker 2: we would always prefer to have that person here, but
- 32:09Speaker 2: let's respect them. Let's create something together that that person
- 32:12Speaker 2: would really be proud of you for. So also, just
- 32:16Speaker 2: to throw in some stats here, I really want to
- 32:18Speaker 2: talk about the shift of intergenerational wealth.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Can you explain what that means?
- 32:22Speaker 2: Absolutely?
- 32:23Speaker 1: So.
- 32:23Speaker 2: Intergenerational wealth is where money comes down from inheritance, so
- 32:27Speaker 2: it comes from other people you haven't earned that money.
- 32:30Speaker 2: And Australia is actually on the cusp of its largest
- 32:33Speaker 2: handover of wealth, with an estimated three point five trillion
- 32:38Speaker 2: dollars worth being transferred from the baby boomer generation to
- 32:42Speaker 2: younger Australians over the next twenty years. So I said
- 32:45Speaker 2: it was unrelatable, but it's not going to be that
- 32:48Speaker 2: unrelatable for our community because that is you, guys. So
- 32:52Speaker 2: to give you some sense of how much that actually is,
- 32:55Speaker 2: let's just start a breakdown. What are trillion dollars actually is,
- 32:58Speaker 2: because it's super hard to visualize one million dollars, let
- 33:00Speaker 2: alone a trillion dollars. So one trillion is one million millions, Like.
- 33:06Speaker 1: What a million?
- 33:07Speaker 2: That's a lot of millions. If you went back in
- 33:09Speaker 2: time one billion seconds, you'd be in nineteen eighty seven.
- 33:14Speaker 2: But if you went back a trillion seconds, you'd be
- 33:17Speaker 2: in roughly thirty thousand BC. That's a really long time ago.
- 33:21Speaker 2: So a trillion, that's that's a hell of a lot.
- 33:23Speaker 2: And three point five trillion is literally an incomprehensible amount
- 33:27Speaker 2: of money. So that is a lot of money that
- 33:29Speaker 2: is going to be transferred and a lot of you
- 33:31Speaker 2: who are going to need advice. And yeah, that that's
- 33:34Speaker 2: how much money's coming. Wow, imagine being a trillionaire.
- 33:38Speaker 1: Are there trillionaires? I don't pass bezos?
- 33:40Speaker 2: What's he a billion?
- 33:41Speaker 1: I think he's a just a billionaire.
- 33:43Speaker 2: Yeah, just a measly billionaire.
- 33:45Speaker 1: Okay, So a few questions here then, fe what did
- 33:49Speaker 1: you think about her wanting to split the money that
- 33:53Speaker 1: she'll receive with the members of her family who weren't
- 33:57Speaker 1: in the will.
- 33:58Speaker 2: I would question that purely because that wasn't the intention
- 34:01Speaker 2: of the person. You've inherited it from. And a very
- 34:04Speaker 2: big part of inheritance for me is about respect and
- 34:06Speaker 2: it is about honoring that person, and that becomes a
- 34:09Speaker 2: really big piece of what I do. It's just like,
- 34:12Speaker 2: I want to know about that person, Like that person
- 34:14Speaker 2: was clearly special to you, and you know obviously played
- 34:17Speaker 2: a big part of your life, and I just want
- 34:19Speaker 2: to know who they were, what they meant to you,
- 34:21Speaker 2: how we can honor them, what did they want for you,
- 34:24Speaker 2: what would they like? Were they nice people? Because at
- 34:26Speaker 2: the end of the day, they were such a large
- 34:27Speaker 2: piece of your life, and I want them to be
- 34:29Speaker 2: a part of that growth and that change. So for me,
- 34:33Speaker 2: that's what I would want to do. But it's definitely
- 34:36Speaker 2: worthy of a conversation because you can essentially do whatever
- 34:39Speaker 2: you want with your inheritance. But let's go back to
- 34:42Speaker 2: that million dollar question before, Like, would you split a
- 34:45Speaker 2: million dollars three ways and give that to other people
- 34:49Speaker 2: and kind of get rid of a lot of the
- 34:51Speaker 2: power of that money, or would you take an ongoing
- 34:54Speaker 2: income and be able to help your family for the
- 34:56Speaker 2: foreseeable future and still have that million dollars sitting in
- 34:59Speaker 2: an investment somewhere You don't have to just split the
- 35:02Speaker 2: money to have an impact and help people like your
- 35:04Speaker 2: investment could be the passive income. That means that you
- 35:07Speaker 2: can give your mom at ten thousand dollars a year
- 35:09Speaker 2: for the foreseeable future, if that's what you wanted to
- 35:12Speaker 2: do without ever impacting that million dollars.
- 35:15Speaker 1: When it comes to the anxiety, just going back to
- 35:17Speaker 1: that question fee in terms of tools. So I know
- 35:20Speaker 1: you're looking after this client, which is amazing. But for
- 35:23Speaker 1: anyone listening who has received a large inheritance or any
- 35:27Speaker 1: kind of inheritance, who is feeling that angst, what words
- 35:29Speaker 1: of wisdom would you leave them with?
- 35:30Speaker 2: Money is fraught with anxiety, and I think that I
- 35:33Speaker 2: would just say this is this is what that person wanted.
- 35:37Speaker 2: You need to get rid of that anxiety. You need
- 35:40Speaker 2: to put yourself in a position where you can actually
- 35:42Speaker 2: feel confident about this, because I understand that inheritance is
- 35:46Speaker 2: usually a bit cloudy. I mean, someone's passed away, but
- 35:49Speaker 2: that person wanted to give it to you because they
- 35:52Speaker 2: couldn't be their figure. So how do we put that
- 35:55Speaker 2: money to work so that it is honoring that person
- 35:58Speaker 2: in the best possible way. And at the end of
- 36:00Speaker 2: the day. As I said, you don't have to do
- 36:02Speaker 2: anything immediately, but you do have to work out what
- 36:05Speaker 2: is the best way of honoring that person. And if
- 36:07Speaker 2: you see a financial advisor, you don't have to go
- 36:10Speaker 2: through with that strategy immediately, but least start educating yourself
- 36:14Speaker 2: and know there are going to be a very small
- 36:16Speaker 2: handful of people who are listening who have an inheritance
- 36:19Speaker 2: sitting in a bank account, and it might have been
- 36:21Speaker 2: there for a little while. That money sitting in your
- 36:23Speaker 2: savings is genuinely giving you more anxiety because you don't
- 36:26Speaker 2: know what to do with it. I would say half
- 36:27Speaker 2: my job is being a psychologist.
- 36:29Speaker 1: Still, yeah, yeah, that makes so much sense. Was there
- 36:32Speaker 1: anything else you wanted to add here? V I was
- 36:35Speaker 1: going to ask you a question about your faith in
- 36:38Speaker 1: the generations that will be inheriting that three point five
- 36:41Speaker 1: trillion dollars. Do you think that we're going to be
- 36:43Speaker 1: okay with that? Is our financial literacy up to scratch? Oh?
- 36:46Speaker 2: We have terrible financial literacy, which is why I'm so
- 36:49Speaker 2: passionate about it. But at the end of the day,
- 36:50Speaker 2: I think that we are all smart and we are
- 36:52Speaker 2: all going to make the right decisions for us. There
- 36:54Speaker 2: are always going to be people who just stick their
- 36:56Speaker 2: head in the sand about money and they're not going
- 36:58Speaker 2: to do what I would. But at the end of
- 37:00Speaker 2: the day, these are all my opinions, guys, that there's
- 37:04Speaker 2: no right or wrong. You could choose not to invest
- 37:06Speaker 2: because it might not be aligned to your risk profile.
- 37:09Speaker 2: I think it's really important to realize that my opinion
- 37:11Speaker 2: is one of many, one of millions, one of trillions Georgia,
- 37:15Speaker 2: and I think that you know, you might follow me
- 37:17Speaker 2: or you might not. But at the end of the day,
- 37:19Speaker 2: you need to make the right decision for you, and
- 37:21Speaker 2: if that means sitting it in a bank account, then
- 37:24Speaker 2: you do. You There is no right or wrong when
- 37:25Speaker 2: it comes to the management of money. And I'm sure
- 37:29Speaker 2: that there are some people. I mean, I'm assuming I
- 37:32Speaker 2: haven't haven't met them, but this is just a grand assumption.
- 37:35Speaker 2: I'm assuming that there are some people who might have
- 37:37Speaker 2: inherited a million dollars blew it over two years. But
- 37:40Speaker 2: also so that was the best two years of my
- 37:42Speaker 2: entire life, So it would be very naive of me
- 37:45Speaker 2: to think that my way is the only way.
- 37:46Speaker 1: Ye And now it's time to take a sneak peek
- 37:55Speaker 1: into their financial lives. The perfect strangers. It's time for
- 37:58Speaker 1: money diaries.
- 38:01Speaker 5: Hi, I'm the twenty nine year old with her super
- 38:04Speaker 5: in her hands, and this is my money diary. My
- 38:08Speaker 5: mom's uncle, who was living in Australia, sponsored my mom
- 38:11Speaker 5: during a time that Australia was taking in refugees. So yeah,
- 38:15Speaker 5: my parents ended up in Australia and they had to
- 38:18Speaker 5: start from scratch. They came from the village of Vietnam,
- 38:20Speaker 5: so they didn't have any money, didn't have anything growing up.
- 38:23Speaker 5: When I was younger, my parents used to buy a
- 38:26Speaker 5: lot about money, and I really paid attention to that,
- 38:29Speaker 5: and I told myself when I was young that I
- 38:32Speaker 5: would definitely make enough money in the future so that
- 38:36Speaker 5: I would never ever have to argue about money. I
- 38:38Speaker 5: would be happy to argue about anything else. But I
- 38:40Speaker 5: did not want money to rule my life. My parents
- 38:43Speaker 5: do have the expectations that because it wasn't easy for
- 38:47Speaker 5: them to find work and make money. But as soon
- 38:49Speaker 5: as I get money that I should buy a house
- 38:51Speaker 5: to away, I should settle down, I should have a family.
- 38:53Speaker 3: You've given me the opportunity to have more choices.
- 38:55Speaker 5: You give me the opportunity to you know, now that
- 38:57Speaker 5: I have an Australian passport, I can go and live
- 39:00Speaker 5: work overseas.
- 39:00Speaker 3: You've never had the opportunity. I'm going to use my
- 39:02Speaker 3: money and buy that.
- 39:04Speaker 5: Visa and live and work overseas and pay rent and
- 39:06Speaker 5: experience life because you didn't have that chance.
- 39:09Speaker 1: What does our superinhad money diarist do for work? How
- 39:12Speaker 1: much does she earn and how much is in her
- 39:14Speaker 1: bank account right now?
- 39:15Speaker 5: My first full time job after graduating UNI was a
- 39:19Speaker 5: graduate site engineer for a construction company. And I've been
- 39:23Speaker 5: working in construction management for almost five years now. And
- 39:27Speaker 5: the salary for site engineer or construction management is usually
- 39:32Speaker 5: seventy five up to ninety or more depending on your experience.
- 39:37Speaker 5: I moved to London this year when the pandemic started,
- 39:42Speaker 5: and so I haven't really worked properly for in construction
- 39:45Speaker 5: management for about eight months. So at the moment in
- 39:48Speaker 5: my bank account, it's going to sound crazy. I came
- 39:52Speaker 5: to London with ten thousand Australian dollars and so now
- 39:55Speaker 5: I have four thousands in my account.
- 39:58Speaker 3: Only.
- 39:58Speaker 5: I was able to survive because Australian and said we
- 40:00Speaker 5: could withdraw our super up and I thought, Okay, if
- 40:03Speaker 5: I'm not going to withdraw money and don't have emergency
- 40:05Speaker 5: money on my account, I'll have to fly home right now.
- 40:08Speaker 3: And I'm like almost thirty one.
- 40:10Speaker 5: If I'm not going to continue trying to live in
- 40:12Speaker 5: London and work in London now, it's not going to
- 40:14Speaker 5: happen again. So having that super money that I was
- 40:17Speaker 5: able to withdraw really helped me with my confidence and
- 40:20Speaker 5: not have the scarcity mindset, which I think saved me.
- 40:24Speaker 1: What are her thoughts on investing and does she invest
- 40:26Speaker 1: in herself?
- 40:27Speaker 5: I know nothing about investing. I feel like everyone's at
- 40:31Speaker 5: different stages in their life's money and for me, because
- 40:34Speaker 5: I haven't had the experiences in life that because I
- 40:36Speaker 5: never had money or extra money, my first thing that
- 40:41Speaker 5: I care about is experience in life and like investing
- 40:44Speaker 5: in myself. Other people who like know who they are
- 40:46Speaker 5: blah blah blah, like they would want to invest in
- 40:49Speaker 5: other like a house or a car or whatever. But
- 40:51Speaker 5: for me, that comes after I invest in myself and
- 40:54Speaker 5: I know myself, I know what I want they want
- 40:56Speaker 5: to care about. So I've only invested for myself with
- 41:00Speaker 5: life coaching when I needed it, buying books, traveling, you know,
- 41:04Speaker 5: moving out of home and paying rent in like an
- 41:07Speaker 5: area that I like, being surrounded by community that are
- 41:10Speaker 5: like with like organic shops, and you know that's expensive,
- 41:13Speaker 5: but I feel like investing in the energy, the location,
- 41:18Speaker 5: people that I surround myself with. So I like the
- 41:20Speaker 5: money that I made. I invested one day's money is
- 41:23Speaker 5: worth at a coworking space just to be in the
- 41:25Speaker 5: right energy and like the right mindset. And I think
- 41:28Speaker 5: during that time I was able to attract my first
- 41:31Speaker 5: job in construction management. Once I know who I am
- 41:33Speaker 5: and settled, then the next thing is invest in a house.
- 41:37Speaker 5: You know, save up money, listen to podcasts about money.
- 41:40Speaker 1: What is her best money habit?
- 41:42Speaker 5: I only buy what I know, like I really really need.
- 41:46Speaker 5: When it comes to buying clothes, I only buy clothes
- 41:49Speaker 5: that I can wear to work and wear out. So
- 41:51Speaker 5: it's like I don't have a billion clothes sitting around.
- 41:54Speaker 1: And what's her worst money habit?
- 41:56Speaker 5: I really try to be a minimalist as I get older,
- 41:59Speaker 5: because I think it's good for the environment in the world.
- 42:01Speaker 5: But I have my no negotiables, and one of that
- 42:04Speaker 5: is always getting my nails painted. It's not at the moment,
- 42:07Speaker 5: but I'll always get my hair done, I'll always get
- 42:10Speaker 5: my nails painted, so like, yeah, I'm not going to
- 42:12Speaker 5: be like so Thindy that I'm not going to make
- 42:14Speaker 5: myself feel good.
- 42:16Speaker 1: What is her big money goal?
- 42:18Speaker 5: On my excel shape showing my goals for long term goals,
- 42:21Speaker 5: I wrote, I want to own a house at some point,
- 42:24Speaker 5: and I want to own an event space so I
- 42:27Speaker 5: can host things because I just like hosting gatherings of people.
- 42:31Speaker 1: What grade would she give her money habits?
- 42:33Speaker 5: The grade I'd give it is probably the lowest because
- 42:36Speaker 5: at the moment it's not my priority. But I think
- 42:38Speaker 5: when I'm ready, it will become like higher and I'll
- 42:41Speaker 5: do all the education I need and I'll focus on it.
- 42:42Speaker 5: That's why I think I'll have goals. There's different priorities
- 42:45Speaker 5: each year.
- 42:46Speaker 1: Is there anything she wants to learn more about or
- 42:48Speaker 1: share with the community?
- 42:49Speaker 5: Now that the money is sitting out of my super
- 42:52Speaker 5: what do you think I should deal with it? I
- 42:54Speaker 5: really want to invest it into something. I think it's
- 42:56Speaker 5: a great opportunity.
- 42:57Speaker 1: Okay, VICKI d just like so much to unpack there.
- 43:02Speaker 1: I don't know where to begin. I've got a hell
- 43:04Speaker 1: of a lot of notes.
- 43:05Speaker 2: Obviously this is non judgmental. I just think that investment
- 43:09Speaker 2: needs to be investment for future you, not for current lifestyle.
- 43:14Speaker 2: And I feel like there's a lot of clarity missing
- 43:17Speaker 2: from this individual's money story. And I just genuinely feel
- 43:21Speaker 2: like treat yourself is probably the summary of this ye,
- 43:26Speaker 2: whereas I don't think that they see it that way,
- 43:28Speaker 2: and I'm really sorry that that's my opinion. I just
- 43:30Speaker 2: think that this mentality is going to in the long term,
- 43:34Speaker 2: going to get them in a little bit more trouble
- 43:36Speaker 2: than they anticipate investing in a space because you like,
- 43:40Speaker 2: entertaining is not investing, my friend, I'm so sorry it
- 43:43Speaker 2: is not. It might be a really nice thing that
- 43:45Speaker 2: you prioritize, but we really have to prioritize future you,
- 43:49Speaker 2: and we can't have our cake and eat it too.
- 43:51Speaker 2: And I feel like that's what this money dirist is
- 43:53Speaker 2: potentially thinking. Yeah, does that really mean to say? I
- 43:56Speaker 2: don't mean it.
- 43:57Speaker 1: I think I don't know. I think you have to
- 43:59Speaker 1: be honest about your take on this. You'r a financial advisors,
- 44:02Speaker 1: so you can't listen to this and be like she
- 44:04Speaker 1: is doing everything right. I love it because that would
- 44:06Speaker 1: be contrary to everything else you tell us on this podcast.
- 44:10Speaker 2: One hundred percent. And I just think if you say
- 44:12Speaker 2: you want to invest in space because you love hosting gatherings,
- 44:15Speaker 2: I really like that. But I think this money direst
- 44:18Speaker 2: potentially has a lot to learn about money. And I
- 44:20Speaker 2: know that she's a new listener to she's all the money,
- 44:23Speaker 2: so maybe once she gets through them all, she'll be there.
- 44:26Speaker 2: And obviously our money diarists, they all get a copy
- 44:29Speaker 2: of the cash Flow and Budget Masterclass, and I think
- 44:31Speaker 2: that that could potentially be really helpful. But there are
- 44:34Speaker 2: a few things that I was concerned about.
- 44:36Speaker 1: So talk to me about your first concern because there
- 44:39Speaker 1: are a few.
- 44:40Speaker 2: Are the Super thing. She's taken twenty thousand dollars out
- 44:42Speaker 2: of Super and she said that I've never had this
- 44:45Speaker 2: amount before and I really need to invest it, my love.
- 44:48Speaker 2: It was already invested in your superannuation account and now
- 44:51Speaker 2: we are one paying tax on that. But we are
- 44:53Speaker 2: not making at work as hard as it is meant
- 44:55Speaker 2: to be working for you. If you are taking money
- 44:58Speaker 2: out of Super to invest, you don't understand the basic
- 45:01Speaker 2: principles of investment or the fact that the superannuation environment
- 45:05Speaker 2: in Australia is literally the closest thing we have to
- 45:07Speaker 2: a tax haven. The superannuation tax rate is only fifteen percent,
- 45:11Speaker 2: whereas if you withdraw it, obviously we have to pay
- 45:14Speaker 2: our maginal tax rates which are more than fifteen percent.
- 45:17Speaker 2: And I know she's experienced significant financial distress this year
- 45:21Speaker 2: because you know, moving et cetera really hard. But you
- 45:25Speaker 2: don't withdraw money from super to invest. It's just a
- 45:28Speaker 2: bad idea. At the end of the day, you are
- 45:30Speaker 2: already investing. And if you've been thinking about this, I
- 45:33Speaker 2: think my main advice would genuinely be go and have
- 45:36Speaker 2: a look at what your super is invested in, and
- 45:39Speaker 2: be a little bit more on top of the types
- 45:41Speaker 2: of portfolio that you're invested in, making sure it's in
- 45:43Speaker 2: line with your risk profile, making sure it's in line
- 45:46Speaker 2: with your goals and values. Not taking it out to
- 45:48Speaker 2: make a decision about investment, because we're literally losing money,
- 45:52Speaker 2: and given the timeframes, and I don't know if this
- 45:54Speaker 2: is true or not, so this could be wild speculation.
- 45:56Speaker 2: I don't know the dates she pulled it out, but
- 45:59Speaker 2: she potentially had massive losses when she pulled the money
- 46:02Speaker 2: out because the market guys obviously went down during COVID,
- 46:05Speaker 2: and that's the point in time that most people withdrew
- 46:08Speaker 2: money out of superannuation, which means you crystallized a loss,
- 46:12Speaker 2: which sounds fancy, but it essentially means you accepted less
- 46:16Speaker 2: money per share for that share and took it out
- 46:20Speaker 2: instead of waiting for the market to recover so that
- 46:23Speaker 2: if you ever were to sell something off you would
- 46:25Speaker 2: get a better return. So you accepted low return. So
- 46:27Speaker 2: your money is already backwards and now you're going to
- 46:30Speaker 2: invest it in a market that's technically already starting to recover.
- 46:34Speaker 2: So you've missed out on a period of time where
- 46:37Speaker 2: you could have been investing and your money could have
- 46:39Speaker 2: been working for you. It's been sitting in your savings account.
- 46:42Speaker 2: I feel like I'm being quite negative and quite harsh,
- 46:44Speaker 2: but at the end of the day, I need to
- 46:45Speaker 2: be realistic. That is what you've done, and I think
- 46:48Speaker 2: that you need to understand that that's maybe not the
- 46:50Speaker 2: best thing that you could have done for your money,
- 46:52Speaker 2: and that's my job to share that with you.
- 46:54Speaker 1: Exactly right, And you know we're not just piling on
- 46:57Speaker 1: this lovely money diarist. I think a lot of people
- 46:59Speaker 1: could probably relate to this. A lot of people maybe
- 47:01Speaker 1: have taken that money out as well and are thinking,
- 47:03Speaker 1: oh God, what have I done? It is so important
- 47:06Speaker 1: and special. I guess that she really values investing in herself,
- 47:10Speaker 1: investing in traveling, investing in all of those amazing life experiences.
- 47:14Speaker 1: But there are ways you can do that without pulling
- 47:17Speaker 1: your money out of superannuation or just spending all of
- 47:20Speaker 1: your money on this stuff. As you always say on
- 47:22Speaker 1: the podcast, if you work out your budgeting and cash flow,
- 47:25Speaker 1: you can get on the right track and you can
- 47:27Speaker 1: afford those splurges from time to time. And like, she
- 47:30Speaker 1: an amazing salary, she's a great industry, Like she'll be
- 47:33Speaker 1: great salary industry.
- 47:35Speaker 2: I think that she was doing really well. I think
- 47:37Speaker 2: I was really concerned though about her. Can I'm really
- 47:41Speaker 2: sorry I feel really negative about this, but I was
- 47:44Speaker 2: really concerned when she said I'll always earn more money later,
- 47:47Speaker 2: Like that's such a future you problem.
- 47:50Speaker 1: But so many people would think like that.
- 47:52Speaker 2: Yeah, it's let's stop making things a problem for future you.
- 47:55Speaker 2: Like I don't want to hear that you'll make money later,
- 47:57Speaker 2: and want to hear that you are making the most
- 47:59Speaker 2: of everything. You have on offer right now. The idea, oh, oh,
- 48:02Speaker 2: make money later is so negative and it's going to
- 48:05Speaker 2: put you back because money compounds in the more time
- 48:07Speaker 2: that you're investing, the more energy. I just don't know, Georgia.
- 48:11Speaker 2: I genuinely feel a bit thrown by this, potentially because
- 48:14Speaker 2: of the conviction that she had in her voice when
- 48:17Speaker 2: addressing this.
- 48:18Speaker 1: She wasn't really concerned about it at all.
- 48:20Speaker 2: No, she wasn't concerned about it, and I would have been.
- 48:23Speaker 2: And I think that maybe that's where my views are
- 48:25Speaker 2: coming from, because that's something that would concern me. And
- 48:30Speaker 2: I just don't know if she sees the seriousness of
- 48:33Speaker 2: those values or seeing investment in those things as actual
- 48:37Speaker 2: investments when they're not. I think that we really need
- 48:40Speaker 2: to be clear about what investing is. Yes, there's investing
- 48:43Speaker 2: in yourself, and yes we absolutely should be doing that,
- 48:45Speaker 2: but I don't want you guys to be confusing investing
- 48:48Speaker 2: in yourself with investing in the financial markets and understanding
- 48:52Speaker 2: that yeah, there's a difference there, and that difference is
- 48:55Speaker 2: really tangible and going to essentially change your life.
- 48:58Speaker 1: I think it's probably important to note before we wrap
- 49:01Speaker 1: the show as well, that you know she's not in
- 49:04Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of.
- 49:05Speaker 2: Dollars to absolutely not. She's in a great financial and.
- 49:09Speaker 1: Cash flow masterclass course to help.
- 49:11Speaker 2: Her out, and it sounds like she's literally living her
- 49:15Speaker 2: best life. She's saved up money, she's moved overseas, she's
- 49:18Speaker 2: loving life in what has been essentially what we call
- 49:21Speaker 2: a garbage fire every year. And I think that that's
- 49:24Speaker 2: really epic. I think it's just I need to be
- 49:26Speaker 2: super critical of things sometimes because I would hate for
- 49:30Speaker 2: you guys to be listening to a podcast and thinking, oh,
- 49:33Speaker 2: that's cool, I'll do that. I don't want that for you.
- 49:37Speaker 2: I want you to be in the best possible position
- 49:39Speaker 2: because I care so much about literally every single one
- 49:42Speaker 2: of you, and I want you to be in the
- 49:43Speaker 2: best possible position always. And this is not going to
- 49:46Speaker 2: put you there.
- 49:47Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly right. It's just a platform for you guys
- 49:50Speaker 1: to learn, I guess from these stories. Let's leave the
- 49:52Speaker 1: show there, Victoria.
- 49:54Speaker 2: But just before we head off, we'd like to acknowledge
