1:25
Speaker 2: yourself out there we also get the opportunity to unpack
1:28
Speaker 2: something that you slid into our DMS, about which this
1:31
Speaker 2: week we're talking splitting cleaning costs after a party, which
1:35
Speaker 2: I think got a little bit spicy in our DMS.
1:38
Speaker 4: Jess, Oh it sure did.
1:40
Speaker 2: All right, let's check in with the team before we
1:43
Speaker 2: go any further. Beck, you're coming to us from the
1:46
Speaker 2: Sydney Popcast studio. You're with a girl.
1:50
Speaker 5: This is so weird.
1:51
Speaker 2: Hey, it is very strange. What are you doing in Sydney.
1:55
Speaker 2: You've got a big dog career moment. Yeah.
1:57
Speaker 6: Actually, I don't know if you know it, but I'm
1:59
Speaker 6: like rich and faith famous, so pretty much is traveling
2:03
Speaker 6: for work. No, I'm actually traveling to see my family
2:05
Speaker 6: and friends. No friends, actually just my family, and I'm
2:08
Speaker 6: kind of coming to this in the office just to
2:10
Speaker 6: meet my team some for the very first time ever.
2:14
Speaker 6: So I thought, you know, may as well just give
2:15
Speaker 6: it a go midyear, right after payday was kind of
2:18
Speaker 6: the perfect timing. But yeah, this is very strange. I
2:21
Speaker 6: kind of like it though. I kind of like it.
2:23
Speaker 2: It's actually triggering me a little bit, Jess, from when
2:26
Speaker 2: we would have to record, Yeah, every single episode remotely
2:30
Speaker 2: like I just I loved it because it was what
2:33
Speaker 2: I guess kept me going throughout COVID, being to record
2:36
Speaker 2: and hang out with you guys online. But oh my gosh,
2:39
Speaker 2: having you on riverside, which is like our online platform,
2:42
Speaker 2: you could say, for recording podcasts remotely, I'm just like, what.
2:48
Speaker 5: Got fomo?
2:49
Speaker 2: I can't even see Jess anyway. We'll bring her over.
2:52
Speaker 2: I'll bring her over. She can sit next to me
2:53
Speaker 2: and you can see her, Jess as your week being
2:57
Speaker 2: just as colorful. What have you been up to?
2:58
Speaker 4: Oh, it's been a good week. I went on a
3:00
Speaker 4: little weekend get away on the weekend. I saw that
3:03
Speaker 4: very fun, arguably.
3:05
Speaker 2: The most aesthetic weekend get away I've seen in my life.
3:08
Speaker 2: Where did you go?
3:09
Speaker 4: What did you do us? We went to Castle, Maine,
3:11
Speaker 4: which I'd never been to before. I'm working with Visit
3:13
Speaker 4: Victoria to showcase some regional little spots, which was really fun.
3:16
Speaker 4: And I got to go with my bestie and have
3:18
Speaker 4: a little girl's weekend and it was just super wholesome,
3:20
Speaker 4: Like we went antiquing and had a picnic and I
3:22
Speaker 4: fed a duck from my hand, a wild duck, a
3:25
Speaker 4: wild duck. Yes, And before anyone comes to me. I
3:27
Speaker 4: didn't feed it bread. I feeded a grape cut in
3:29
Speaker 4: half sweet would be easily digestible.
3:31
Speaker 2: I love that you know that we're at that stage
3:33
Speaker 2: where people are going to come for you for feeding
3:36
Speaker 2: the duck. Who bread? Yes, I didn't even know that
3:38
Speaker 2: was the thing, but the way you prefaced it tells
3:40
Speaker 2: me it's absolutely an issue.
3:42
Speaker 4: There is lots of discourse online to do. Okay, I
3:44
Speaker 4: did my research.
3:44
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you for feeding the duck grapes. Grapes are
3:48
Speaker 2: expensive at the moment, so that was a very big
3:50
Speaker 2: sacrifice made by you.
3:52
Speaker 4: Locally sourced organic grapes that we bought at the market
3:55
Speaker 4: as well.
3:55
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, little wholesome aesthetic life over there, who is Louise,
4:01
Speaker 2: Let's get into it. Though. I really like ducks. I
4:04
Speaker 2: want a pet duck. I feel like that would be
4:07
Speaker 2: but those like what are they called, like runner ducks,
4:09
Speaker 2: like the big white ones with the orange beaks that
4:12
Speaker 2: look like Jemima puddle duckling. Yes, I need one of
4:14
Speaker 2: those ones.
4:15
Speaker 4: The market where I got the grapes, they sold chickens,
4:18
Speaker 4: and I very nearly like baby chicks because it's like
4:20
Speaker 4: a regional area and people have farms. I thought you were.
4:22
Speaker 2: About to tell me they sold picking duck. Different.
4:26
Speaker 7: No.
4:26
Speaker 4: I nearly brought home a little pet chicken, but I
4:29
Speaker 4: thought better of it, and it's restrained myself.
4:32
Speaker 2: That's very good restraint.
4:33
Speaker 5: Why didn't you buy one?
4:34
Speaker 4: Because I have two cats and I just feel like
4:35
Speaker 4: that might not work.
4:36
Speaker 2: Oh, I see you can make anything work. You can
4:39
Speaker 2: it work. I would make it work, all right, Jess.
4:41
Speaker 2: I want to know that would have been a money loss.
4:45
Speaker 2: But I want to know what our community have as
4:48
Speaker 2: your favorite money wins of the week. What have you
4:50
Speaker 2: wrapped up for us?
4:51
Speaker 4: So my first money when this week comes from a
4:53
Speaker 4: chantal who said I had my annual pay review, received
4:56
Speaker 4: a ten k per year pay rise, plus an extra
4:59
Speaker 4: week of annual leave per year. Also, I'm moving in
5:02
Speaker 4: with my partner in two weeks, so my costs will
5:04
Speaker 4: be cut in half. We've had a lot of discourse
5:07
Speaker 4: lately around the pay rise, where Victoria put a video
5:10
Speaker 4: or two on the internet and we're still getting comments.
5:12
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Beck and I were recording a deep
5:14
Speaker 2: dive earlier today and we were talking about that. I
5:17
Speaker 2: was like, it's a hallmark, right, like going viral. It's
5:19
Speaker 2: not just about views, it's about how many abusive comments
5:23
Speaker 2: you can collect in your comments section and your dms,
5:26
Speaker 2: of which I had a plethora.
5:28
Speaker 4: Yes, thank you for lovely random people on the internet.
5:32
Speaker 2: It was literally my favorite. Like I just laugh at
5:35
Speaker 2: them like it doesn't do anything and just tells me
5:37
Speaker 2: that you're insecure, like it's true, pop off this. Thanks
5:41
Speaker 2: for the engagement.
5:42
Speaker 5: We're going to come for you for that one, here cha.
5:45
Speaker 4: My next moment comes from Grace, who said I was
5:48
Speaker 4: looking online for a new book to read, potentially spending
5:51
Speaker 4: thirty plus dollars. Then I stopped and remembered my financial goals,
5:54
Speaker 4: so I drove to the library and got three books
5:57
Speaker 4: out instead. All I paid was it dollar thirty in
5:59
Speaker 4: park money you want.
6:01
Speaker 2: That's so wholesome and also reminds me that libraries do
6:04
Speaker 2: indeed exist and I should utilize them and I don't.
6:07
Speaker 4: Someone told me, I remember how a week or two
6:09
Speaker 4: ago we were talking about how I want to learn
6:11
Speaker 4: how to sew. Someone told me libraries have maker studios
6:15
Speaker 4: where you can go in and access sewing machines, embroidery machines,
6:19
Speaker 4: things like that for free. I think it's only in
6:21
Speaker 4: larger CBD libraries primarily, but I got on Google and
6:24
Speaker 4: there's a couple in Melbourne, and I would imagine there
6:27
Speaker 4: would be a few in other states. So if you
6:28
Speaker 4: want to sew but you don't want to spend on
6:30
Speaker 4: a sewing machine.
6:31
Speaker 2: Shape, you can borrow my sewing machine. I appreciate. I
6:34
Speaker 2: was going to have Jess over Beck and I was
6:36
Speaker 2: going to teach her all of the basic skills because
6:38
Speaker 2: I actually did get this. You twelve textiles, wow, because
6:42
Speaker 2: I just really wanted to bring my score down because
6:45
Speaker 2: obviously the gets get marched down. Yeah, it turns out
6:49
Speaker 2: I can actually sew wholesome sewing day at sale is good.
6:53
Speaker 2: I think it's good, but like you're going to get
6:55
Speaker 2: what you get and you don't get upset.
6:56
Speaker 5: Or how that is very cute, very wholesome, better than
6:58
Speaker 5: where I am.
6:59
Speaker 2: I can do a kits stitch.
7:01
Speaker 4: I don't even know where that is, so you already
7:02
Speaker 4: thanks a kitoy. My next money when it comes from
7:06
Speaker 4: Lauren who said I complained about a faulty product and
7:09
Speaker 4: I got myself a refund.
7:10
Speaker 2: When ended up with one hundred dollars.
7:12
Speaker 4: It took me ages to get around to doing it,
7:13
Speaker 4: but in the end it was reasonably easy and the
7:15
Speaker 4: customer service person was really helpful.
7:17
Speaker 2: Love what else have you got?
7:19
Speaker 4: Jess from Angela, I have a money in that says
7:21
Speaker 4: I had a punctuary my tire and I went to
7:23
Speaker 4: the place around the corner from my house thinking it
7:25
Speaker 4: would be fifty bucks. Roughly they ended up fixing it
7:28
Speaker 4: for money win.
7:30
Speaker 2: I thought they were going to go the other way.
7:31
Speaker 2: That's what I thought.
7:32
Speaker 4: We always comment on how mechanics sometimes do a bit
7:34
Speaker 4: of a dodge when you're a woman in these cars.
7:36
Speaker 2: See you're broken tire. We definitely can't fix you have
7:39
Speaker 2: to buy four brand new ones. It's what I expected.
7:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, in fact, your whole engine has falled out.
7:45
Speaker 2: That's so weird.
7:47
Speaker 4: Love that. And lastly, I have a money win from
7:49
Speaker 4: Sasha who says I got this stunning vintage wooden rocking
7:52
Speaker 4: horse for free on Facebook marketplace. Me and my three
7:55
Speaker 4: year old daughter are very happy and she put in
7:58
Speaker 4: a photo and I just love it when people put
7:59
Speaker 4: photos their money. It's really cute.
8:01
Speaker 2: Please litter our money wins thread each and every single
8:04
Speaker 2: week with your photos. And if you don't have a photo,
8:07
Speaker 2: just like post a selfie or something. I'm so here
8:09
Speaker 2: for picture of your cat.
8:10
Speaker 4: I'd love a picture of your.
8:11
Speaker 2: Yes, cat tax. I believe that's called cat tax.
8:14
Speaker 4: We love a cat. There's a group chat with me,
8:16
Speaker 4: Gabby and Victoria called pet appreciation for him, and I'm
8:19
Speaker 4: not allowed to send a text until I send a
8:21
Speaker 4: photo of my pet first.
8:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, like through chat. You need something for work, great,
8:26
Speaker 2: send a picture of your cat and then we'll address
8:28
Speaker 2: your concern.
8:28
Speaker 6: Sorry, just we're not listening. Yeah, can't he We're not
8:30
Speaker 6: listening until I see photo.
8:33
Speaker 4: I'll come hold a photo in front of the camera
8:35
Speaker 4: for you back one second.
8:36
Speaker 2: That is actually it, Like, that's actually what happens. And
8:39
Speaker 2: I'm not sorry about it. It's just how our business works.
8:42
Speaker 5: I wouldn't have it any other way personally me neither.
8:44
Speaker 2: Is that all you've got this week, Jessica, that's everything?
8:47
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Well you know what that means. We
8:49
Speaker 2: get to very subtly segue straight into Beck's broke tips.
8:54
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, what have you got this week? I've
8:58
Speaker 2: got a couple this week.
9:00
Speaker 6: I feel as though something's biting you on the leg.
9:02
Speaker 6: So if I seem distracted, I'm so sorry.
9:05
Speaker 2: And Alisa get out from under the table. Ali through again,
9:12
Speaker 2: she's actually in my studio, not yours.
9:16
Speaker 6: Don't let the truth get in the way of a
9:17
Speaker 6: good story. Well that's what I was so shocked about,
9:19
Speaker 6: because she's not even here and.
9:20
Speaker 5: She's still biting on a leg.
9:22
Speaker 2: I don't understand all the time.
9:24
Speaker 6: Okay, So my first broke tip of this week comes
9:27
Speaker 6: from Laura, who says that they take a small bottle
9:31
Speaker 6: of water. It seems like quite a simple one, but
9:34
Speaker 6: basically you fill up your water bottle at work, which
9:37
Speaker 6: is a money win. Because I'm sorry, a broke tip. Sorry, Jess,
9:40
Speaker 6: I'm trying to ste your job again.
9:42
Speaker 5: It is a broke tip.
9:43
Speaker 6: Because it doesn't seem first of all, it's great for
9:46
Speaker 6: the environment, and it doesn't seem like it costs a
9:48
Speaker 6: lot of money.
9:48
Speaker 5: But a dollar two dollars, three dollars for a bottle
9:50
Speaker 5: of water.
9:51
Speaker 6: Every time you're, like, you know, out and about, or
9:52
Speaker 6: you're on the road, or you're going to work, it
9:54
Speaker 6: adds up. It's bad for the environment. Just take yourself
9:58
Speaker 6: a reusable bottle of water and you'll save so much
10:01
Speaker 6: money in the long run and the environment. Single use
10:05
Speaker 6: plastic is so twenty twenty three January.
10:09
Speaker 4: Okay.
10:10
Speaker 6: The next broke tip for this week is from Amy,
10:13
Speaker 6: who says that in the winter, whenever she cooks something,
10:17
Speaker 6: she leaves the oven door slightly open or cracked all
10:21
Speaker 6: the way open after she's finished cooking, because then it
10:24
Speaker 6: warms up the whole kitchen. Maybe even if you have
10:26
Speaker 6: an open plan living area, you'll.
10:28
Speaker 2: Heat up the whole loud room, the whole kitchen cold.
10:31
Speaker 5: Very great idea. Don't even chuck the heater on. You
10:35
Speaker 5: just open up your oven when you're done, so you
10:36
Speaker 5: cook your dinner. You got a dinner there, and you
10:39
Speaker 5: open up the oven, you heat the whole place.
10:41
Speaker 2: That's a great idea, that's very intelligent. I genuinely never
10:45
Speaker 2: would have thought about that. And I literally in the
10:47
Speaker 2: winter sometimes stand in front of my oven with my
10:50
Speaker 2: hands over the top of it because I'm cold. So
10:52
Speaker 2: clearly I have been using it as a source of
10:55
Speaker 2: heat for not just food, but I never would have
10:57
Speaker 2: dragged it out into actually being I guess responsible.
11:01
Speaker 5: Very smart, just been mindful of small children and pet please. Ah,
11:03
Speaker 5: that's very true.
11:04
Speaker 2: That's a really good caveat use safety first goal. I
11:07
Speaker 2: do not even think about that unofficial you know what,
11:11
Speaker 2: I reckon jair Spec When she was at primary school,
11:14
Speaker 2: she was that kid who dabbed on all the other
11:16
Speaker 2: kids for not wearing their hats at recess.
11:19
Speaker 4: I was not, but I definitely was a bit of
11:21
Speaker 4: a teachers pet.
11:22
Speaker 5: I'm not shocked by that. I've got to be honest,
11:25
Speaker 5: I don't think anybody.
11:27
Speaker 6: I'm not shocked, but yeah, no, it feels like a
11:30
Speaker 6: big waist of hot air if you're just closing the
11:32
Speaker 6: Ovens Street after you don't. But anyway, so my personal
11:36
Speaker 6: brute tip for this week. Honestly, it's not gonna be
11:40
Speaker 6: changing the world. It's not groundbreaking, but I basically just
11:43
Speaker 6: wanted to talk about how sometimes when I literally have
11:45
Speaker 6: like eleven dollars left to last me the week and
11:48
Speaker 6: I've got to pay for food, food is my main priority.
11:50
Speaker 6: If anyone wants me to pay them back for dinner,
11:53
Speaker 6: or if EastLink come at me with a toll invoice,
11:56
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I just I'm not.
11:59
Speaker 5: I'm not doing that right now.
12:00
Speaker 6: But what I will tell you is that a cheap
12:04
Speaker 6: way to kind of make your money last or you know,
12:08
Speaker 6: get as much food as you can for a very
12:09
Speaker 6: little amount of money. I would say, obviously home brand
12:14
Speaker 6: white bread that is about a dollar.
12:18
Speaker 2: Beck, you have used this on the podcast. I was
12:20
Speaker 2: going to say, you cannot tell me that you're going
12:22
Speaker 2: to make sandwiches because you got sorry white bread? All right?
12:28
Speaker 4: Gotchaka?
12:29
Speaker 5: Did I say something about sandwich?
12:30
Speaker 2: I thought she was like full broke tipping her broke
12:32
Speaker 2: tips by reusing a broke tip.
12:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely. I feel like was that maybe the first one.
12:37
Speaker 4: We've definitely had.
12:38
Speaker 2: The sandwiches and you can make toast. Where are you
12:41
Speaker 2: going with this? Beck?
12:42
Speaker 5: No, this one wasn't about sandwiches. This is like more
12:44
Speaker 5: of a list.
12:45
Speaker 2: A grocery right a, right, Sorry, Sorry, I didn't mean
12:47
Speaker 2: you are sorry. That's it. I might actually be reusing
12:50
Speaker 2: it now. I want to hear it. I'll savage it
12:52
Speaker 2: when you're done.
12:53
Speaker 6: Let me know if this sounds too familiar. And then
12:56
Speaker 6: I was going to say everything's homebrand. Let's always assume
13:00
Speaker 6: say I'm using home brand. Yeah, bag of white rice,
13:03
Speaker 6: one killer gram. If you do have capacity, get one
13:06
Speaker 6: of those ten kilogram ones will lasts you a long time.
13:09
Speaker 6: I'm also saying bassa fill it. It's a very cheap,
13:14
Speaker 6: very delicious, very nutritional piece of white fish. It's like
13:19
Speaker 6: often six dollars a kilo if you get one two
13:22
Speaker 6: three fillts that if you cut the fillin in half,
13:24
Speaker 6: I'm saying, you're gonna be hungry all week. But that
13:27
Speaker 6: very cheap fish that is also filling, also tasty, also
13:32
Speaker 6: good for you, will last you the week and it
13:34
Speaker 6: will not cost you that much money.
13:35
Speaker 2: That's really smart. And bassa when it's frozen is even cheaper,
13:39
Speaker 2: and yea's still good when you defrust it.
13:41
Speaker 6: Yes, don't ask me why it's cheap. I don't want
13:43
Speaker 6: to know why it's cheap. But it is so cheap
13:45
Speaker 6: all the time. I don't think it's even gone up
13:48
Speaker 6: in price since I was a baby.
13:50
Speaker 2: Let's not even question that. No people in our DMS,
13:53
Speaker 2: they can worry about that.
13:54
Speaker 4: I don't want to hear why the fish is cheap.
13:57
Speaker 5: I don't want to don't yuck.
14:00
Speaker 2: Sometimes we're asking for feedback, sometimes we're not. This time,
14:04
Speaker 2: we're not guarantee people still like. I know you said
14:07
Speaker 2: you didn't want to know, but I just know.
14:09
Speaker 4: It's going to be that gives me the heavy genies
14:12
Speaker 4: and keeps me up at night.
14:13
Speaker 6: So you will ruin fish you will, and you'll also
14:16
Speaker 6: ruin my budget for the week.
14:18
Speaker 5: So and but.
14:19
Speaker 6: Then the next thing was going to be literally just
14:21
Speaker 6: like the biggest bag of frozen veggies you can get.
14:24
Speaker 6: This is I'm only talking about if you're like a
14:25
Speaker 6: single person.
14:27
Speaker 2: What because single people they're the only ones that eat
14:29
Speaker 2: frozen vegetables back oh that too.
14:32
Speaker 6: But also if your child's like, you know, the only
14:34
Speaker 6: thing they eat is nuggets, Like, I'm not condoning that
14:36
Speaker 6: at all, but you can honestly buy big, giant home
14:40
Speaker 6: brand bags of frozen nuggets.
14:43
Speaker 5: Just everything frozen. Frozen is cheap. I don't you know.
14:47
Speaker 5: There's obviously reasons why it's cheap. It's probably not the
14:49
Speaker 5: best for you, but frozen is cheap.
14:51
Speaker 6: Bassa phil, it's cheap white rice, get all the home
14:54
Speaker 6: brand cheap. You know, things that you know, anything that's
14:57
Speaker 6: feeling you just want to survive, is what I'm trying
14:59
Speaker 6: to say.
14:59
Speaker 7: You just.
15:02
Speaker 2: A really good tip when you say your child will
15:05
Speaker 2: only eat frozen nuggets. So you're talking about our co
15:07
Speaker 2: host jessicot Rici, Yes, yeah, that's what I thought. Can
15:11
Speaker 2: I bandwagon onto this broke tip section because I actually
15:14
Speaker 2: have a really cheap recipe. But do you know what
15:17
Speaker 2: I will put in the newsletter for today. It will
15:20
Speaker 2: be my unsolicited recommendation because you didn't ask for Victoria's
15:23
Speaker 2: broke tip, but you're getting it. And that is a
15:26
Speaker 2: recipe for dull. Dull is one of my favorite foods
15:32
Speaker 2: because it is just so tasty. It's basically like an
15:35
Speaker 2: Indian style curry that is made with lentils. And if
15:39
Speaker 2: you buy dried lentils, they are honestly cheap as chips.
15:42
Speaker 2: And it can be so well seasoned, and you can
15:45
Speaker 2: have that with bread, You could have it with some rice,
15:47
Speaker 2: you could have it with some frozen mashed potato into
15:50
Speaker 2: the Irish squacamole like.
15:52
Speaker 4: Irish Irish coca mole.
15:54
Speaker 2: What what is it not Irish squacamole.
15:57
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that's the funniest thing I've ever heard.
16:00
Speaker 4: I've never heard.
16:00
Speaker 2: Do you know what that tells me? Beck I didn't
16:02
Speaker 2: read it, doesn't read my newsletters.
16:06
Speaker 4: I haven't heard you say it before.
16:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, if Irish brocamlt mashed potato. Anyway, Moving on,
16:11
Speaker 2: a dahl is such an easy recipe to make, and
16:15
Speaker 2: you can scale it up and down for very cheap
16:18
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure a recipe of dahl each serve is
16:21
Speaker 2: less than fifty cents. As you guys know, if you
16:24
Speaker 2: read my newsletter each and every single time I put
16:26
Speaker 2: a recipe in, I like, literally do all of the
16:29
Speaker 2: breakdown of the ingredients, how much it'll cost. Last week,
16:32
Speaker 2: when I recommended muffins that they're collect I broke down
16:35
Speaker 2: what it would cost you at Cole's and it will
16:37
Speaker 2: lose because like I was like, well, what if you
16:38
Speaker 2: shop at a different place, You're can need these like you're
16:41
Speaker 2: going to need this information. And then I didn't want
16:43
Speaker 2: people to cut me off and be like, you didn't
16:46
Speaker 2: account for the cinnamon, and so guess.
16:48
Speaker 4: What I didn't Just you didn't.
16:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I calculated how much cinnamon I used. Did that?
16:53
Speaker 2: It was zero point four cents oh word for cinnamon
16:57
Speaker 2: in my muffins last week. But you best believe I
17:00
Speaker 2: accounted for that, because I swear every time I cook
17:02
Speaker 2: something on the internet and I'm like, oh yep, it's
17:05
Speaker 2: just a quick three ingredients this they're like, you didn't
17:07
Speaker 2: account from the spices, and the spices they're for the privileged.
17:10
Speaker 2: I'm like that bowl, that bowl you had to buy
17:13
Speaker 2: the bowl. Oh you used muffin liners with your muffins.
17:16
Speaker 2: That wasn't accounted to sit down.
17:18
Speaker 4: Okay, well, we try theero point four cents of cinnamon
17:22
Speaker 4: into our.
17:22
Speaker 2: Budget for that, and we are all having at some
17:25
Speaker 2: point in the next week Victoria's recipe for Dahl McCarney
17:29
Speaker 2: because it's basically like a buttered chicken style dull. So
17:33
Speaker 2: it tastes like buttered chicken, but there's no chicken because
17:36
Speaker 2: that's not what I would put in my recipe. And
17:38
Speaker 2: it's cheap as chips, and it tastes really good and
17:40
Speaker 2: you can have it with rice, and it's honestly a
17:43
Speaker 2: ten out of ten meal. I say it's Victoria's dahlma
17:45
Speaker 2: carney recipe because I know that good Dahl McCarney recipes exist.
17:50
Speaker 2: This isn't it cany it. It's my budget hacked up
17:54
Speaker 2: even cheaper version.
17:55
Speaker 4: Amazing.
17:56
Speaker 5: I love that. I love that Tudka.
17:59
Speaker 2: Anyway, you're the only person on the team that's allowed
18:01
Speaker 2: to make that joke.
18:02
Speaker 5: I am. I am no joke. I'll make you a
18:06
Speaker 5: dumb tudga one.
18:06
Speaker 2: Day, thank you. I'm in for it. All right. With that,
18:09
Speaker 2: let's go to a really quick break. On the flip side,
18:12
Speaker 2: we're going to be talking about reframing your skills to
18:14
Speaker 2: get yourself out there, and a spicy topic that has
18:17
Speaker 2: been blowing up our dms this week about splitting cleaning
18:20
Speaker 2: costs after you host a party so guys don't go anywhere.
18:28
Speaker 4: Welcome back, everybody, Let's listen to this week's money dilemma.
18:31
Speaker 7: Hi, love Lies, I'm hoping you can help me. I
18:34
Speaker 7: have five K in credit card debt that I want cleared,
18:38
Speaker 7: but I'm struggling to make any progress on my eighty
18:41
Speaker 7: three K salary due to all the cost of living
18:44
Speaker 7: increases and constantly increasing mortgage repayments. I know I need
18:48
Speaker 7: a second income stream, but am at a loss what
18:51
Speaker 7: to do? Do you have any suggestions on side hustles
18:55
Speaker 7: for a personal assistant slash admin professional. I have twenty
18:59
Speaker 7: years experience and am very good at my job, but
19:03
Speaker 7: for some reason, I lose all confidence in myself when
19:06
Speaker 7: I think about what skills I have to offer and
19:09
Speaker 7: whether anyone out there would hire me. Any advice would
19:12
Speaker 7: be greatly appreciated.
19:14
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I want to hugue you.
19:17
Speaker 4: That makes my heart sad that you're doubting yourself and
19:19
Speaker 4: your skills, and you've obviously got so many years of
19:21
Speaker 4: experience behind you. And to be quite frank, lots of
19:23
Speaker 4: people with zero experience are making what's money on the internet.
19:25
Speaker 4: So if they can do it, so can you.
19:26
Speaker 2: Yeah. Like, that's basically the entire segment. Thank you for coming. Like,
19:31
Speaker 2: there is a quote, and it's not a nice quote,
19:33
Speaker 2: but we're going to put it on the podcast anyway.
19:35
Speaker 2: There are dumber people doing smarter things than you are. Yeah,
19:38
Speaker 2: there go literally and it always motivates me. I'm like, yeah,
19:41
Speaker 2: you're right, there's no reason why I couldn't do anything
19:45
Speaker 2: that I'm putting my mind to because I feel like
19:47
Speaker 2: so many of the skills the employers look for are
19:50
Speaker 2: not something that is I guess as measurable as I
19:54
Speaker 2: guess a technical skill. So like, I want you to
19:56
Speaker 2: be on time, I want you to be polite, I
19:58
Speaker 2: want you to be kind, I want you to have
20:00
Speaker 2: a really high attention to detail. None of those things
20:03
Speaker 2: come from your level of intelligence, but more from your
20:06
Speaker 2: ability to apply yourself. And I feel like this is
20:09
Speaker 2: the theme of the week, so I'm going to repeat
20:10
Speaker 2: it again because I basically want to drill it into
20:12
Speaker 2: everybody's brains. But Beck and I were recording earlier this
20:16
Speaker 2: week a deep dive, and I said it on there,
20:18
Speaker 2: so we're going to say it again. That will come
20:19
Speaker 2: out in a couple of weeks and it will make
20:21
Speaker 2: sense to you. But having a low opinion of yourself
20:24
Speaker 2: is not humble. It is actually self destruction. And I
20:29
Speaker 2: think that by reframing our thoughts, you could change yourself
20:32
Speaker 2: into anyone you want to be. You stay at home, mum, Jess, great,
20:36
Speaker 2: you're out of the workforce for twenty years. You're probably
20:38
Speaker 2: looking at that going far out. I have no tangible skills.
20:41
Speaker 2: Your project management skills illite. Your time management, oh my gosh, amazing.
20:45
Speaker 2: You can manage multiple priorities. That's fantastic. There are so
20:50
Speaker 2: many things that you do that you need to be
20:53
Speaker 2: able to see to get other people to see. And
20:55
Speaker 2: if you can't see your own value, it clouds the
20:58
Speaker 2: value that other people able to see in you. So
21:01
Speaker 2: it is really at your own detriment if you're not
21:04
Speaker 2: seeing yourself as valuable, because I promise you are. Like,
21:08
Speaker 2: reframing things is so important, But sitting down and going well,
21:12
Speaker 2: what do I do? And your job description might be
21:15
Speaker 2: a little bit helpful. But I guarantee it's not about
21:19
Speaker 2: what's on the list. It's about the things that go
21:21
Speaker 2: beyond that that are the selling points, right Like Jess,
21:25
Speaker 2: for example, if I take your job descriptions for Partnerships
21:28
Speaker 2: manager at She's on the money. There are all these
21:30
Speaker 2: tick boxes. But if you then flipped it and said, Victoria,
21:34
Speaker 2: what do you like about what I do it, she's
21:37
Speaker 2: on the money you already know, but tell me anyway, absolutely,
21:43
Speaker 2: but it's not that you fulfill your job description. It's
21:46
Speaker 2: that you're a client human and that our clients really
21:48
Speaker 2: like interacting with you. And you've got the ability to
21:51
Speaker 2: manage multiple priorities and still maintain a head about you.
21:54
Speaker 2: There are so many different things that to me are
21:57
Speaker 2: really important and the reason you have the job, Yeah,
22:00
Speaker 2: you do the job like that's you know, let's say
22:02
Speaker 2: a hygiene factor. But I think to be able to
22:05
Speaker 2: see these things about yourself, that's when you are able
22:09
Speaker 2: to reframe your skills and put yourself out there a
22:11
Speaker 2: bit more. And I guess you know there are those
22:13
Speaker 2: silly quotes where you know, sillier people are doing smarter
22:16
Speaker 2: things like yes, because do you know what silly people
22:19
Speaker 2: have audacity.
22:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure.
22:23
Speaker 2: In a while, I'm gonna throw my own dad under
22:25
Speaker 2: the bus literally right now, guys, Dad, I love you.
22:28
Speaker 2: But this is just a really good example. Guys. Look
22:31
Speaker 2: at this screenshot of a text message that my dad
22:35
Speaker 2: sent inspirational messages from eric device today. It's a picture
22:40
Speaker 2: of an old guy. It's a painting, and it says
22:43
Speaker 2: on it, when you're dead, you know that you're dead.
22:46
Speaker 2: The pain it's felt by others, the same thing happens
22:50
Speaker 2: when you're stupid.
22:51
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, Dad, that's a very dad esque.
22:56
Speaker 2: But it's I'm not calling anybody stupid. I just think
22:59
Speaker 2: it's all about reframing, like, you're a smart human being
23:03
Speaker 2: and we need to see ourselves as such. Like you
23:07
Speaker 2: have so much value I promise you do at the
23:10
Speaker 2: end of the day. Like you genuinely are smarter than
23:14
Speaker 2: most people that do your job because you've been doing
23:17
Speaker 2: it for so long and there's so much value in
23:19
Speaker 2: that as well. You've seen the peaks and the truughs
23:21
Speaker 2: of your industry. You have experienced lots of different challenging circumstances.
23:26
Speaker 2: You've probably had to manage multiple priorities you've probably had
23:29
Speaker 2: to go through a lot to get where you are today,
23:32
Speaker 2: and I think it's just so important to be able
23:34
Speaker 2: to point that out. I think from my perspective, that
23:38
Speaker 2: feels like a lot to swallow. So if I were you,
23:41
Speaker 2: and that's what my ultimate goal was to, I guess,
23:45
Speaker 2: put myself out there and get more work and you know,
23:47
Speaker 2: change things, I would actually start with so fluffy, but
23:51
Speaker 2: a little bit of self work, like how don't you
23:53
Speaker 2: sit down and talk to yourself about this, Like write
23:55
Speaker 2: a list of the things that you think you're good at.
23:57
Speaker 2: Like you can burn the list later because you might
23:59
Speaker 2: be embarrassed of all things that you're writing down because
24:01
Speaker 2: you're like, oh my gosh, I feel like I've got
24:03
Speaker 2: so many tickets for myself by writing this. But write
24:05
Speaker 2: a list of the things that you're good at. Are
24:07
Speaker 2: you good at communicating? Are you really good at project
24:10
Speaker 2: management and time management? Are you really good at, you know,
24:13
Speaker 2: maybe whipping together in Excel spreadsheet. It depends on who
24:17
Speaker 2: you are and what you do. But write down all
24:19
Speaker 2: of those things so that you can see them. Because
24:22
Speaker 2: the more you believe in yourself, the easier it is
24:25
Speaker 2: for other people to buy into that belief. Yeah, for sure.
24:28
Speaker 2: What are the tips and tricks have you guys got
24:30
Speaker 2: I would.
24:31
Speaker 4: Say, just to her question about what side hustle she
24:34
Speaker 4: could do that were kind of admin based or focused,
24:37
Speaker 4: I would suggest getting on platforms like fiver or air tasker,
24:41
Speaker 4: because you can pick up really simple once off tasks.
24:45
Speaker 4: I think, especially if you're just starting to side hustle
24:47
Speaker 4: and you're fitting it in around a full time job,
24:49
Speaker 4: it can be tricky to juggle priorities, especially when you've
24:52
Speaker 4: got other just life general things that you have to
24:54
Speaker 4: attend to. So taking on once off jobs here and
24:58
Speaker 4: there when you've got the time and the capacity is
25:00
Speaker 4: a really straightforward way to kind of make it work
25:02
Speaker 4: for you. And those platforms are really great. Like I
25:04
Speaker 4: remember once someone had paid me five bucks to save
25:06
Speaker 4: something to a PDF, like there is some no they
25:09
Speaker 4: didn't like, you know, And if you have any skills
25:11
Speaker 4: like video editing, I've done a lot of just like
25:14
Speaker 4: thank you ble no, but it's you know, people who
25:18
Speaker 4: need just a video cut together, and it's a really
25:20
Speaker 4: straightforward thing if you've got the skill set or lots
25:22
Speaker 4: of times there'll be people who just need a little
25:24
Speaker 4: bit of assistance. With maybe some admin management, some email management,
25:28
Speaker 4: templating for resumes and copywriting very frequently asked for, so
25:31
Speaker 4: you can pick up once off jobs and then maybe
25:33
Speaker 4: once you build a bit of momentum up, you can
25:35
Speaker 4: offer it as a niche skill. Maybe you set up
25:37
Speaker 4: a website, but obviously that's a bit more investment and time.
25:39
Speaker 4: So getting on platforms that already exist makes it easy.
25:43
Speaker 4: You can pick and choose what you do. You can
25:44
Speaker 4: build up a bit of an existing client base and
25:46
Speaker 4: some recommendations, and then down the track if you want
25:48
Speaker 4: to do more, you can kind of leverage off of that.
25:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can kind of price yourself cheaper at
25:53
Speaker 2: the start to get some reviews, and as you get
25:55
Speaker 2: better and better reviews, you can increase your process because
25:58
Speaker 2: you become a trusted member of that platform. Like so
26:01
Speaker 2: many times I'll be like, oh, they're charging X for
26:04
Speaker 2: that and they have no reviews. No, But if you
26:06
Speaker 2: get a few reviews behind you, you're more likely to
26:09
Speaker 2: get that momentum in I guess picking up clients, and
26:12
Speaker 2: it's a very smart way of I guess side hustling
26:15
Speaker 2: and bringing in a little bit of extra income. And
26:18
Speaker 2: also it can build your confidence as well, because if
26:21
Speaker 2: you price yourself at a point where you go, yeah,
26:23
Speaker 2: I know that job is providing value to somebody else.
26:27
Speaker 2: I'm getting a little bit of income from it. It's
26:29
Speaker 2: going to give me a really good review. They give
26:31
Speaker 2: you a review. You're increasing your confidence and wow, like
26:34
Speaker 2: I can do that. I'm going to charge five dollars more,
26:36
Speaker 2: and over time that compounds and then you're charging exactly
26:40
Speaker 2: what every other freelancer would and you're feeling confident about it.
26:44
Speaker 2: So I think that that's really smart. Beck. Where would
26:46
Speaker 2: you start? What would you do?
26:47
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a really tough one and such a struggle
26:51
Speaker 6: that I feel like everyone you know a lot, well
26:53
Speaker 6: not everyone, but I feel like a lot of people
26:55
Speaker 6: can relate to right now. And it's very sad that
26:57
Speaker 6: that's the situation, having to, you know, take more time
27:00
Speaker 6: out of your regular life that you want to live
27:03
Speaker 6: because you can't afford to pay for mortgage or rental
27:07
Speaker 6: or whatever the case may be. But honestly, I would
27:11
Speaker 6: just say hang in there. It's really really poor advice,
27:14
Speaker 6: Like I don't have advice on how to start a
27:17
Speaker 6: side hustle and kind of like get back into an
27:19
Speaker 6: industry or into an industry, but I just as.
27:23
Speaker 5: A little confidence boost. You can do this, and.
27:26
Speaker 6: You got this and it's really, really, really sucks, and
27:29
Speaker 6: I'm proud of you for being like, you know, I
27:32
Speaker 6: will just get a side hustle, and you know that
27:34
Speaker 6: it's going to take a lot a chunk out of
27:36
Speaker 6: your free spare time. But proud of you if you're
27:39
Speaker 6: doing that. And I think that hopefully eventually everything will
27:42
Speaker 6: be okay.
27:45
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, that's very useless.
27:46
Speaker 2: Good pep talk back. I think that that hits the
27:49
Speaker 2: nail on the head. I think just getting started. Just
27:51
Speaker 2: try it out, just try it out. I mean, at
27:54
Speaker 2: the end of the day, I feel like you're right back.
27:56
Speaker 2: Lots of people in our community are struggling with paying
27:59
Speaker 2: their mortgage, the spiraling cost of living, and I think,
28:02
Speaker 2: just put yourself out there, like you're clearly a well articulated,
28:05
Speaker 2: smart person and I can tell that just from a
28:07
Speaker 2: voicemail you left us, so I have no doubt that
28:10
Speaker 2: your clients would be really happy to hear from you.
28:12
Speaker 2: It's honestly, it's about confidence.
28:14
Speaker 6: Hopefully someone reaches out after listening to this and be like, hey,
28:16
Speaker 6: I've got this little thing that you can do or
28:18
Speaker 6: you know, I agree.
28:19
Speaker 2: All right, speaking of a little thing you can do.
28:22
Speaker 2: We had a community dilemma this week that was a
28:24
Speaker 2: little bit spicy and very one sided when it came
28:28
Speaker 2: to the responses from our community, which I thought was
28:31
Speaker 2: really funny because twenty percent of you said yes to
28:34
Speaker 2: this and eighty percent said absolutely not. So here is
28:39
Speaker 2: our community dilemma. This week. We got a message and
28:41
Speaker 2: it sounded a little like this, Hey, girls, I really
28:44
Speaker 2: need your opinion. My friend had a big group of
28:46
Speaker 2: girls over to her house for drinks on the weekend.
28:49
Speaker 2: There were about fifteen to twenty of us, which was
28:51
Speaker 2: super fun. However, she's now messaged everyone asking us to
28:55
Speaker 2: transfer her money in brackets immediately to help hire a
28:59
Speaker 2: professional to clean her house. She said that there were
29:02
Speaker 2: drinks built on the carpet and in the kitchen, and
29:05
Speaker 2: that the living area and the bathroom are now really
29:07
Speaker 2: dirty and she felt like we didn't respect her space.
29:10
Speaker 2: I don't think I should have to pay, as it
29:12
Speaker 2: was her choice to host us all knowing the consequences
29:15
Speaker 2: of the house getting dirty, and I low key feel
29:18
Speaker 2: like she's using this to get a free house clean.
29:21
Speaker 2: It's not really in my budget for this week to
29:23
Speaker 2: pay her. But a lot of my friends have said
29:25
Speaker 2: they're happy to transfer, and now I feel like I'm
29:27
Speaker 2: being the bad guy. What do I do? How do
29:30
Speaker 2: I say I would rather not without making this friendship awkward?
29:35
Speaker 2: Vacon Jess, what are your thoughts? What happens if I
29:40
Speaker 2: hosted a little house party and then sent you a
29:43
Speaker 2: message after and said, hey, Jess, ho bet, can you
29:45
Speaker 2: please transfer me thirty bucks because you used my house
29:48
Speaker 2: and now it's messy, and yeah, I would like to
29:51
Speaker 2: hire a professional cleaner instead of cleaning it myself.
29:53
Speaker 6: This is really a tough one because if there is
29:55
Speaker 6: genuine like red wine stains on a white rug or
29:58
Speaker 6: something in like someone just like really came in and
30:01
Speaker 6: didn't respect your house and like broke some glasses and
30:04
Speaker 6: did all this stuff, like really destroyed it or several people,
30:08
Speaker 6: I guess it's hard to kind of narrow down who
30:09
Speaker 6: the person was or the people were that kind of
30:13
Speaker 6: did this, But.
30:14
Speaker 5: It still feels a bit like not Okay, I don't know,
30:20
Speaker 5: I don't know.
30:20
Speaker 6: I guess if they just came in and made a mess,
30:22
Speaker 6: a regular normal mess, one that you might find after
30:25
Speaker 6: any gathero or house party or whatever, then definitely don't
30:30
Speaker 6: pay for that, just clean it. I don't know, it
30:32
Speaker 6: does get a little bit complicated if there's like real
30:35
Speaker 6: stains on, like really expensive furniture and things.
30:39
Speaker 4: I just feel like if I went to a party
30:42
Speaker 4: and I was respectful of the space and I did
30:44
Speaker 4: all the right things, and then someone expected me to
30:46
Speaker 4: cover someone else's damage, I'd be pissed off. Like if
30:50
Speaker 4: you're like, if if one person in the group got
30:52
Speaker 4: real messy, really drunk.
30:54
Speaker 2: You need to take it up with them.
30:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you know what I mean? And as Beck said,
30:57
Speaker 4: I know that it's hard to narrow it down, but
30:59
Speaker 4: I would kind of being well, if I did all
31:01
Speaker 4: of the right things, why on earth should I be
31:03
Speaker 4: held responsible for the actions of somebody else? And I
31:06
Speaker 4: feel like from what she said, you know, mess in
31:08
Speaker 4: the bathroom, mess in the kitchen, that is a very
31:10
Speaker 4: standard thing if you're hosting, you know, an evening where
31:13
Speaker 4: people are perhaps partaking in a beverage, a bee or yeah,
31:16
Speaker 4: you know, stuff spilled on the carpet is another thing.
31:19
Speaker 4: But I also think that there are ways to clean
31:21
Speaker 4: that as well, Like have you said, hey, like, have
31:24
Speaker 4: you just tried cleaning it. Have you, Stane rub have
31:26
Speaker 4: you maybe messaged the group and said, hey, guys, like
31:28
Speaker 4: someone spilled something on the floor, did anyone have any
31:30
Speaker 4: ideas on how I could clean it? Maybe someone you
31:33
Speaker 4: would hope if they're good people, would they someone would say, oh,
31:35
Speaker 4: it was me, I'm so sorry. Let me help you.
31:38
Speaker 4: I can pay for it. Like, I just don't think
31:40
Speaker 4: it's reasonable to put that expectation on everybody unless everyone
31:44
Speaker 4: was going crazy and as Beck said, like absolutely trashing
31:47
Speaker 4: the place. But in that case, why would you kind
31:50
Speaker 4: of host to begin with? I don't know. I don't
31:52
Speaker 4: want a victim blame here, but I just think that
31:54
Speaker 4: there's probably better ways to go around it than just
31:57
Speaker 4: immediately saying, hey, everybody, you have to put in for
31:59
Speaker 4: this expect that you didn't expect, when on some level,
32:02
Speaker 4: cleanup is an expected part of hosting.
32:05
Speaker 2: I feel icky about this one because obviously it's an
32:09
Speaker 2: unexpected cost that if I hosted a house party and
32:12
Speaker 2: then you messed up my house, I think it's on me,
32:13
Speaker 2: not on you. But also, what friends are you having over?
32:18
Speaker 2: Did you know that they would act like this?
32:19
Speaker 1: Like?
32:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a fair few different friends from lots
32:23
Speaker 2: of different walks of life. And there are a few
32:26
Speaker 2: friends that I would be like, absolutely not are they
32:29
Speaker 2: coming to my house to have a house party, because
32:32
Speaker 2: they will trash this place if they, you know, have
32:34
Speaker 2: a few too many bevrashiash And by me offering to
32:39
Speaker 2: host them, I'm opening myself up to that risk. And
32:43
Speaker 2: if you don't want to host, and you don't want
32:45
Speaker 2: to have your house essentially trashed, one why you're hosting
32:48
Speaker 2: a party where that could get so out of hand,
32:51
Speaker 2: Like maybe don't offer your space to do that, or maybe.
32:54
Speaker 4: Call out the behavior, like if someone's being out that
32:57
Speaker 4: was really really truc and they're there and you're like,
33:00
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, I can see things happening. I can
33:02
Speaker 4: see that you're going crazy. Maybe just nicely says them, Hey,
33:04
Speaker 4: can I get you a cab to get you home?
33:06
Speaker 4: Like I'm just a bit worried about you, or I
33:08
Speaker 4: just think maybe you need to sleep it off. Can
33:09
Speaker 4: I organize a lift for you or help you get
33:11
Speaker 4: home in some way?
33:12
Speaker 2: I totally agree with you. I also feel like the
33:16
Speaker 2: way this read to me was like fifteen to twenty people,
33:19
Speaker 2: that's a pretty well sized house party, Like you were
33:23
Speaker 2: planning on having a house party where everyone was drinking.
33:26
Speaker 2: I'm assuming it wasn't like a quaint dinner party where
33:28
Speaker 2: we're all sitting around the table having out bevraginos with
33:32
Speaker 2: a like cheese platter right like by the way she
33:35
Speaker 2: was like, oh, there was like drinks on the carpet
33:37
Speaker 2: in the kitchen, in the living area and the bathroom,
33:39
Speaker 2: Like yeah, I don't know what type of like dinner
33:42
Speaker 2: party or a house party you're having where the bathroom
33:44
Speaker 2: gets absolutely filthy, Like I've never had that. And as
33:47
Speaker 2: you know, Beck and Jess note, I love entertaining, like
33:50
Speaker 2: I love having people over, and I feel like everyone's
33:53
Speaker 2: always respected my space, like I've never been like, yeah,
33:55
Speaker 2: in the bathroom's disgusting, Like what are you doing in
33:58
Speaker 2: the bathroom of somebody else house to make it disgusting?
34:02
Speaker 2: So I feel like you kind of do open yourself
34:05
Speaker 2: up to that again, if it was completely out of hand,
34:08
Speaker 2: I think approaching it in the same way that you
34:10
Speaker 2: did Jess, where you're like, maybe you should take the
34:12
Speaker 2: conversation to the group, not make the decision, and then
34:15
Speaker 2: go by the way you owe me money, Because if
34:18
Speaker 2: you're young, it's very unlikely that having the amount of
34:23
Speaker 2: money in your bank account to share in a professional
34:25
Speaker 2: cleaner is a fair assumption. Like, you're probably having house
34:29
Speaker 2: parties because if you're anything like young Victoria, you had
34:32
Speaker 2: a house parties because you couldn't afford to go out.
34:34
Speaker 8: Yeah, Like, if you're over at my house, it's usually
34:37
Speaker 8: a budget decision, Jess, Yeah, for sure, Like it's not Yeah, like,
34:41
Speaker 8: I mean, I also love having people over for dinner parties,
34:43
Speaker 8: but it's if we're having house party.
34:45
Speaker 2: It's because it's way too expensive to like go to
34:48
Speaker 2: a venue per se. Anyway, do we have any thoughts
34:51
Speaker 2: before we go to what the community said?
34:53
Speaker 4: No, I want to hear what everybody else had to say,
34:55
Speaker 4: because we've all been very one sided.
34:57
Speaker 2: Yeah. So that eighty twenty split that I dropped before
35:00
Speaker 2: that was to the question do you think it's reasonable
35:02
Speaker 2: for the host to ask people to transfer her Twenty
35:05
Speaker 2: percent said yes, eighty percent of you said no.
35:07
Speaker 4: Yep.
35:08
Speaker 2: We asked, whose responsibility is it to pay for the cleaning?
35:11
Speaker 2: A ninety one percent of you said the person who
35:14
Speaker 2: hosted the drinks agreed. Then we asked, if you were
35:18
Speaker 2: in this situation, would you be happy to pay twenty
35:21
Speaker 2: four percent of you said yeah, and seventy six percent
35:24
Speaker 2: of you said no, absolutely not.
35:26
Speaker 4: Twenty four percent of you are better people than I am.
35:28
Speaker 4: Just to be like get in the bin, I'd be like,
35:31
Speaker 4: I'll come and scrub on my hands and knees and
35:33
Speaker 4: help you.
35:33
Speaker 2: But if I would actually offered them, if I like,
35:36
Speaker 2: help you clean up, I don't want to pay. Yeah,
35:38
Speaker 2: Like if that happened in a group chat and they
35:41
Speaker 2: were like, hey, the house is literally a bomb site.
35:45
Speaker 2: It's so much worse than i'd ever anticipated. Is anyone
35:48
Speaker 2: free to help me? I'll be there. That was jop
35:51
Speaker 2: me to bring my dyson. I've got a Dyson. Yeah,
35:53
Speaker 2: really like showing it off, like I'll be there. I
35:55
Speaker 2: have done that for friends in the past where they're
35:57
Speaker 2: like moving into a house and it wasn't as clean
35:59
Speaker 2: as they thought it was going to be. And I
36:01
Speaker 2: was like, oh, I got your girl. I'm really good
36:03
Speaker 2: with a toothbrush.
36:04
Speaker 4: You took the toilet seed off. I remember that.
36:05
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm very good at that. Anyway, moving forward to
36:09
Speaker 2: what the community said, someone said, ask for picks of
36:12
Speaker 2: the mess and offer to help her clean, which rank
36:14
Speaker 2: is good? Someone said, I've hosted parties and had plenty
36:18
Speaker 2: of mess to clean up. That's the risk you're taking
36:21
Speaker 2: when you decide to host. Someone said, if it's a
36:23
Speaker 2: really reasonable amount, I don't see the issue in paying.
36:26
Speaker 2: Demanding it, though, is not an okay thing to do.
36:29
Speaker 2: Someone said, I've had parties and accepted cleanup is just
36:32
Speaker 2: a part of it. My friends helped tardy on the
36:34
Speaker 2: night of though, after a finished partying, which was more
36:37
Speaker 2: than enough help.
36:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, my friends do that too.
36:39
Speaker 2: I feel like I would never leave somebody's home without
36:42
Speaker 2: being like, oh, let me help stuck the dishwasher, let
36:44
Speaker 2: me like wipe down the venture. Like, I don't know,
36:46
Speaker 2: maybe we're just different people cut from it.
36:48
Speaker 4: I mean again, maybe if you're trashed, like I'm thinking
36:51
Speaker 4: back to like nineteen twenty, when you're like stumbling out
36:54
Speaker 4: of a house party and you don't know, yeah, you
36:56
Speaker 4: know if you're an Arthur or a Martha. But like,
36:58
Speaker 4: it's one of those things where I think that if
37:00
Speaker 4: that's the case, again, there's just a nicer way to
37:03
Speaker 4: go about it like this, it feels very aggressive.
37:06
Speaker 2: It does feel aggressive.
37:07
Speaker 4: Yeah.
37:07
Speaker 2: Someone said, if you're hosting and then expecting any type
37:10
Speaker 2: of compensation, you need to be clear to everybody before
37:13
Speaker 2: you invite them and they turn up to your house. Yep.
37:16
Speaker 2: A few other people said, no way host pays. Someone
37:19
Speaker 2: else said it sounds like the guests were completely disrespectful
37:23
Speaker 2: to warrant a cleaning, which is totally fair. Girl, that
37:27
Speaker 2: friend needs to pull their head in, is what someone
37:29
Speaker 2: else is. Honestly, if you're disrespecting someone's space when you
37:34
Speaker 2: go into it, what are you doing? Like I get
37:36
Speaker 2: getting really drunk, but like drunk me, Yeah, she's not
37:40
Speaker 2: messing up your house.
37:42
Speaker 6: I've never been so drunk that I've forgotten all my
37:44
Speaker 6: morals and no, yeah, like I would definitely still be
37:48
Speaker 6: cleaning up after myself. Well, if it's a house party,
37:50
Speaker 6: I certainly bounce, but yeah, I would never be, you know,
37:54
Speaker 6: trying to disrespect someone's space.
37:56
Speaker 2: I get that. And someone else said, if I was
37:58
Speaker 2: the one who spelled alcohol in a carp I would
38:00
Speaker 2: one hundred percent offer to pay for cleaning the carpet.
38:03
Speaker 2: And I guess that goes the flip way where it's like,
38:08
Speaker 2: if you know that that person is the one that's
38:09
Speaker 2: spilled the red wine, I feel like that's who you
38:11
Speaker 2: should be having a chat to, not necessarily Jess and Beck,
38:15
Speaker 2: who were very respectful of your space and didn't do
38:18
Speaker 2: anything and were therefore like going to be a bit like, oh,
38:21
Speaker 2: I don't want to come to your next house party.
38:23
Speaker 2: That was a really awkward, weird situation, Like, yeah, I'd
38:25
Speaker 2: prefer to not be involved next time, like, which I
38:27
Speaker 2: think would be a fair outcome, Like if I bill
38:30
Speaker 2: you after coming to my house party, you're gonna be
38:32
Speaker 2: like come back and not coming back. Let's probably end
38:36
Speaker 2: it there, because I feel like this is a done
38:39
Speaker 2: and dusted topic.
38:40
Speaker 4: Everyone seems to be an agreement.
38:41
Speaker 2: In agreement, but also a bit like we needed more context.
38:44
Speaker 2: In more context, I don't know. Between fifteen to twenty people,
38:47
Speaker 2: is it five bucks per head or is it fifty
38:49
Speaker 2: dollars per yere?
38:50
Speaker 4: I don't know. She's a person. A professional clean would
38:53
Speaker 4: run you between one hundred and fifty and three hundred dollars,
38:56
Speaker 4: I would say for an average like carpet clean, depending
38:58
Speaker 4: on the space.
38:59
Speaker 2: It would be such a good star hustle.
39:00
Speaker 4: It would be a really good side hustle. There, you
39:02
Speaker 4: got one away for later the person who read it earlier.
39:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, Junior, so cleanup after your party for three hundred bucks.
39:08
Speaker 2: Absolutely money win. All right, that is me. I am done.
39:12
Speaker 2: I'm going to spend the weekend planning my new side hustles. Guys,
39:15
Speaker 2: we hope you have the best weekend ever and we'll
