Latest / The Curve / TCW23: Don't panic, but we are officially in a recession
Transcript
- 0:00Hi and welcome to the Curve Weekly, the podcast that keeps you up to date with all the money,
- 0:07business and stock market tea.
- 0:09Everyone should experience for us at least once in their lives and Annie shouldn't miss
- 0:12that just because she can't afford it.
- 0:14Help me.
- 0:15So so how are you feeling after your little story in the weekend about you're not having
- 0:26enough money for?
- 0:28Firstly, I want to say that was very admirable in terms of the honesty and the vulnerability that came across
- 0:35there and the number of issues that we got was insane.
- 0:38Yeah.
- 0:39Yeah.
- 0:40It just shows though, like, why is talking about money and talking about, you know, the number
- 0:45of people that came forward, oh my gosh, I feel exactly the same.
- 0:47It was crazy.
- 0:48It was.
- 0:49But everyone just doesn't want to talk about it.
- 0:51And I think, yeah, it hats off to you for actually addressing it and opening that conversation.
- 0:57Is it so, so needed?
- 0:59Yeah.
- 1:00Yeah, it was weird.
- 1:01I filmed that so for anyone that didn't see it, I put a video up on our Instagram story a couple of days ago
- 1:08about having a real moment where I had like $12 in my emergency fund.
- 1:15I think I had $9 in my other.
- 1:17And I basically, what happened was I couldn't afford to get a bus to the airport and I had to
- 1:22visit your friend and ask for money anyway.
- 1:25And it was so weird because I normally am such an advocate for being open about these kinds of things.
- 1:32And I don't normally get embarrassed very easily, but at that, I actually was quite embarrassed.
- 1:37Yeah, I felt, it felt really vulnerable, actually.
- 1:41I might see in the corner like my mascara had like kind of run as I had a little cry.
- 1:47But no, I think that we should definitely talk about this in more detail, like doing actual whole episode on it
- 1:51because I think there's so much unpack there.
- 1:54Let's just do the curve weekly today because I feel like if I start talking about this,
- 1:58I might a cry or be talk for like way too long.
- 2:02And we don't want either.
- 2:04No.
- 2:05I'm joking, sorry.
- 2:07But yeah, let's do it episode this Wednesday for raising the curve on it, I think.
- 2:11But I'm actually quite excited.
- 2:13If anyone that didn't see it, I basically said to Vic, I'm desperate for some help.
- 2:18And it's quite funny because at first you were sort of like kind of probably couldn't understand
- 2:24how I'd even ended up in the position of not having enough to pay for a bus.
- 2:28You know, I remember saying something to you at the, when we were away and you were like,
- 2:31I just would, I would do everything in my power before I asked someone else for money
- 2:35and which I'd so respect.
- 2:37But it was really comforting to hear how many people had been in that situation before.
- 2:44And so, you know, Vic's working on some content.
- 2:49Yes, some content to help those of us who have ended up in similar money disasters
- 2:54because I'm just in desperate need of a reset in terms of my finances.
- 2:58So I'm actually bloody excited for that.
- 3:00But we'll go into more detail in, yeah, in another episode later in the week.
- 3:06But should we do the curve weekly?
- 3:08Let's do it.
- 3:09Let's do it.
- 3:11Do you want us to take a brief?
- 3:12Yeah, my mayors.
- 3:14These couches that we are recording on are so comfortable.
- 3:18I'm feeling like a little bit lazy.
- 3:20Just like sleep or something.
- 3:22No, I know you mean it's like, it's like,
- 3:26I feel very like cool or deady.
- 3:28You know, I'm just sitting on the couch having a chance.
- 3:31Alex Cooper, the goals of female podcasters.
- 3:35Yeah.
- 3:36So I know I'm just like, the markets.
- 3:39Yeah.
- 3:40Vic's not one hand straight over the couch.
- 3:47She's like so leaning into it.
- 3:50I've actually taken my shoes off.
- 3:52It's recorded on Friday afternoon and then heaven.
- 3:54Oh, my God.
- 3:56I'll literally fall asleep.
- 3:58So the stock market really made me try and just get out of the couch.
- 4:04Get out from slouching.
- 4:05Anyway, the stock market really, really strong week-class week.
- 4:09It's in P500 so the US stock market up about 3%.
- 4:13The NASDAQ up for New Zealand up, Australia up.
- 4:17It was up everywhere, which is awesome.
- 4:20And some great news with the US stock market is that
- 4:25we are officially no longer in a bear market.
- 4:30So a bear market for anyone, I'm just going to take this over
- 4:33and see if I can.
- 4:34I love how it's like.
- 4:35I asked it over to me.
- 4:36You knew I was ready for my intro.
- 4:39So a bear market.
- 4:41So bear is when things are going down and Vic explain this to me.
- 4:45She's like, think about a big giant hairy bear coming down
- 4:49on its prey.
- 4:50That's a bear market.
- 4:51So it's like, oh, shit.
- 4:52Or a bear market.
- 4:53And then what's the other one?
- 4:55Bull market.
- 4:56Bull market.
- 4:57And that's because they attack upwards.
- 4:58Yeah.
- 4:59So they use their horns and they kind of go from under and then upwards.
- 5:01Yeah.
- 5:02So that's how that's how you remember.
- 5:03So we're no longer in a bear market.
- 5:05No longer in a bear market.
- 5:06And the kind of official definition of a bear market
- 5:08is when a stock market or share price falls by 20%.
- 5:13So back kind of last year,
- 5:17from was the end of 2021 to October last year,
- 5:23the US stock market fell 25%.
- 5:26So that was a bear market.
- 5:28And then in order to get out of that,
- 5:30you have to rise back above those back to that level.
- 5:33So because the stock market has done so well this year,
- 5:37we're officially out of a bear market.
- 5:40And this has actually been the longest bear market since 1948.
- 5:46So it was nearly 250 days long.
- 5:50Wow.
- 5:51Which is pretty long.
- 5:52The average is about 140 days.
- 5:54So this was a pretty long one.
- 5:55So fair enough,
- 5:56people were sitting there kind of feeling a bit worried about their investments.
- 5:58Because it did go on for longer than normal.
- 6:01But yeah, there's been a lot of research done.
- 6:05Been like, okay, cool.
- 6:07How has the stock market performed after a bear market?
- 6:11Because people are like, okay, cool.
- 6:12What does that mean?
- 6:14And it's kind of a bit of a mixed result.
- 6:16But most of the time stock markets,
- 6:19the US stock market does do quite well after a bear market.
- 6:23Interesting.
- 6:24Positive.
- 6:25But take that with the grain of salt.
- 6:27Yeah.
- 6:28You know, there's always a case of something could happen.
- 6:31And we're definitely not out of the woods in terms of recession
- 6:35and high interest rates.
- 6:37There's a lot's going on in the world right now.
- 6:39So I actually wanted to ask you,
- 6:40because I saw a video,
- 6:41it was on Chese's,
- 6:42they put a video out saying where if New Zealand, like data has just come out
- 6:47and where are officially in recession.
- 6:50Yes.
- 6:51Is that going to be in our podcast today?
- 6:53Yes.
- 6:54Okay.
- 6:55It was in the curve weekly.
- 6:56Yeah, yeah.
- 6:57So I think that that was in the curve weekly newsletter that was sent out on Friday.
- 7:00For you who doesn't get that,
- 7:02you can get it via the link in our Instagram bio
- 7:05or you can get it through our website.
- 7:07If you literally just put your email in,
- 7:09you can get a regular hour.
- 7:10I love that I'm claiming your regular work.
- 7:12Yeah.
- 7:13The scours the internet for all the important things that you need to know about
- 7:16business, money, stock market, etc.
- 7:18And it's, I actually love these emails.
- 7:21I remember when Vic first started writing them
- 7:23and I was like, I don't get it.
- 7:24I don't get it.
- 7:25And I was commenting on everything.
- 7:26We were like, explain it better.
- 7:27But now I read it and I feel like I'm reading almost like a novel.
- 7:30It's fun and exciting and lulls.
- 7:33We get a few responses from people being like,
- 7:36we're going to love Friday mornings when the curvy.
- 7:38I'm like, really?
- 7:39It's so fun because I'm like, is it that interesting?
- 7:42You said it's because we would never find it otherwise.
- 7:44It's quite funny.
- 7:45And I also think the great thing about those emails, what you do,
- 7:47is you not only get the information that we need to know,
- 7:50but you make it, I understand it.
- 7:53I think if I was to read data about,
- 7:56oh, New Zealand's officially in a recession or whatever,
- 7:59I wouldn't know what to do with that or what that means.
- 8:02And I think that's what I love about the emails.
- 8:04There's this explanation.
- 8:05It's not just like, something's going on in the golf world.
- 8:08And I'm like, cool.
- 8:09No, I don't know what that means.
- 8:13But yeah, so I guess just finishing on the US,
- 8:15and then we'll jump into, I can explain, you know,
- 8:18what that means in terms of New Zealand being in a recession.
- 8:20But in terms of the US stock market, so yes,
- 8:23we're officially out of a beer market.
- 8:25And I guess the recent strength in the stock market
- 8:29in the US over the last, what are we, June?
- 8:32June kind of six months has been the artificial intelligence boom.
- 8:37So a lot of companies that are exposed to AI doing really well,
- 8:42you know, the Microsoft's of the world, Microsoft's up 50% this year.
- 8:46And that's a massive company.
- 8:48You know, that's not a small $10 million company
- 8:51growing to, you know, $15 million company.
- 8:54That's nearly a $3 trillion company,
- 8:57growing with 50% which is crazy.
- 9:00And Apple as well.
- 9:02Apple was up nearly 50% as well.
- 9:04This first six months this year.
- 9:06We had a meeting with someone yesterday on the day before
- 9:09who was saying, if you, as a company,
- 9:12if you're looking for investors or investment,
- 9:14and you literally just say, AI,
- 9:16or we're looking to AI, people are like, sure, sure, sure, go for it.
- 9:19Because people just want to be a part of artificial intelligence
- 9:22and what is happening in that space.
- 9:24So it kind of makes sense to hear that companies that Microsoft
- 9:27that have quite a big piece of the pie.
- 9:30I remember when I back in my finance days
- 9:34and we'd have like just walked in like three months ago.
- 9:37Oh, back in my name.
- 9:39Back in the day.
- 9:41No, I would have companies and it was the same with the cloud.
- 9:43A couple of them just said,
- 9:45and people would be like, oh, cloud this and, you know, big data.
- 9:49You're like all those buzzwords and be like, cloud, SaaS,
- 9:53you're recurring revenue, all those key words.
- 9:56And you'd be like, yep, cool, yep, right.
- 9:58We'll write a check.
- 9:59Like it was crazy.
- 10:00The phases and the themes that people want to get access to.
- 10:04They want to get access to and that they're growing
- 10:06and they'll literally like, yeah, invest in anything.
- 10:10But just be careful because it does scare me when things do really well,
- 10:14really quickly.
- 10:15That.
- 10:16Yeah.
- 10:17Just the bubble map pop.
- 10:18The bubble map pop.
- 10:19And sorry, just finishing on the US.
- 10:21Another reason is that their inflation is now at 4%.
- 10:25So if you think about.
- 10:26That's better, right?
- 10:27Yeah.
- 10:28All the figures like the UK is a 9%, New Zealand's pretty much 7%.
- 10:32And the US, the biggest economy in the world is a 4%,
- 10:35which is a really good sign because remember that target is that 2% to 3%,
- 10:38which is a healthy inflation range.
- 10:40So if they got so low, can they release all of us?
- 10:43I don't know.
- 10:44I just tried to Google and you don't know.
- 10:47Because that seems quite like quite a feat to put that far ahead in terms of.
- 10:52So interest rate rises have obviously helped.
- 10:54They've increased the interest rates 10 times since this time last year.
- 10:59So that's 10 interest rate rises, which is quite quite incredible.
- 11:03Is that more than what we've experienced in Australian New Zealand or similar?
- 11:07Probably, it's pretty similar, but they've put their interest rates on hold for the first time last week,
- 11:12which is a really good sign because they mean it means they're like, you know what?
- 11:16Inflation's tracking well, we don't need to keep increasing interest rates.
- 11:21But, you know, they do have the position where they can if their inflation doesn't keep coming down.
- 11:26Can I ask you something quickly before you move on?
- 11:29With that, does that mean that if we're looking at the global economy and the US is doing better?
- 11:36Are they because of their interest rates not in a recession?
- 11:40Or is that just a portion of the situation?
- 11:43They're not officially in a recession, no.
- 11:47But I guess what it means is that because inflation is coming down quicker than expected,
- 11:54there is less likelihood that the US will end up in recession.
- 11:59So it's all positive signs.
- 12:02And the US economy, the US stock market just has so many filters around to so many other parts of the world
- 12:11that if that is doing well, it's a good sign for a lot of other flow-on-effects
- 12:16and flow-on to other countries.
- 12:19But New Zealand, yes, as I've stalled the limelight, is in recession.
- 12:27It's like, I've got something really good to say about that.
- 12:31Yes, we are officially in recession in New Zealand.
- 12:35It's something to celebrate, but I'm going to break it down because it's not all bad news.
- 12:41Okay, I want everyone to take a deep breath.
- 12:45It's going to be fine.
- 12:47So the word recession does kind of freak a lot of people out.
- 12:51But I want to tell you the actual definition of a recession is two quarters, two consecutive quarters.
- 12:59So one after the other of negative growth.
- 13:02So last year, so October, November, December, that's one quarter, that New Zealand declined by 0.7%.
- 13:12And is this the overall economy?
- 13:14The overall economy, yeah, declined 0.7%.
- 13:16Now, this first quarter of this year, so January, February, March, the economy declined 0.1%.
- 13:25So it's tiny.
- 13:27So we're talking really tiny numbers here, like negative 0.1, you're pretty close to flat.
- 13:33So it's, you know, in terms of zero growth.
- 13:36So that, yes, we technically in a recession because we've had two quarters of negative growth.
- 13:42Oh, okay, I see where you're going with this.
- 13:44And I don't want to downplay it because there could be a lot of people listening that are like, that's really bad.
- 13:48Yeah, or that have felt the impacts of the recession.
- 13:51And all of us have felt the impacts of the recession.
- 13:53Or they've lost their jobs or, you know, they've had, you know, staff at their work lose their jobs, whatever.
- 13:59But like it's, the thing is that technically, yes, we are in a recession, but we're at a very mild recession, I guess you could say.
- 14:09We've still got really low unemployment rates, which is really good.
- 14:13We're talking about New Zealand.
- 14:15So we've still got really low unemployment rates.
- 14:18So that means, you know, a lot of people still do have their jobs.
- 14:21Yes, you might work for a company that's saying, you know, we're not giving pay rises or we're having a hiring freeze
- 14:28because they can kind of, they're preempting what might happen.
- 14:31And yes, we've got inflation at ridiculous levels and groceries are still super, super expensive.
- 14:36But we did get some good news a while ago that interest rates have peaked.
- 14:40That's right.
- 14:41So again, so that's quite good news.
- 14:43That means that, you know, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
- 14:47But one thing that actually probably helps that figure, that first quarter figure of 0.1%, negative 0.1%.
- 14:56Yeah.
- 14:57Was the cyclone that we had.
- 14:59So surprisingly,
- 15:01April, cyclone Gabriel.
- 15:06And this is pretty hard for a lot of people that were impacted, but they're actually cyclones and devastation and natural disasters
- 15:14are actually have a positive effect on economic growth.
- 15:19Really?
- 15:20Which, because GDP, which is their official figure, the gross domestic product,
- 15:25and that's the overall amount that the economy grows.
- 15:28Is it doesn't measure destruction, it only measures construction or activity.
- 15:35So all these bridges that need building, all these roads that need rebuilding, that's economic activity.
- 15:42So that means that that's economic growth.
- 15:45So in the weird way, I don't know what that figure would have been, had we not had cyclone Gabriel.
- 15:51But it might have been worse.
- 15:54So I mean, take that how you want, you know, maybe stripping out cyclone Gabriel,
- 15:59the economy's actually doing worse.
- 16:02Who knows?
- 16:03Who knows?
- 16:04But I was just saying that there is a, there is an anomaly.
- 16:06I've got to say the word, there is an anomaly in there.
- 16:10So it'll be surprising to see what the June, what the third quarter does.
- 16:13Yeah, what the third quarter does.
- 16:16But I wonder, I'm reading this book at the moment.
- 16:20And it's fiction, but it's based in the 1960s.
- 16:23And this woman is called Lessons in Chemistry.
- 16:26And this woman, sorry, this is kind of an offshoot.
- 16:28But she gets, how was this related to her recession?
- 16:31She's just, she's on this like TV show.
- 16:34And all of this like hate mail is coming in, like lips or letters.
- 16:38You know, not like DMs like, you need to die, but like death threats and stuff.
- 16:43I'm just imagine if we were in the 1960s right now,
- 16:47and this was like a show, and people could send in letters,
- 16:49I reckon you would get some serious hate bell for saying that.
- 16:52I know, and it's like, obviously, I'm not saying that.
- 16:55Gosh, we should have more natural disasters,
- 16:57because it means that we won't.
- 16:59It's just the fact that the economy learned.
- 17:01And it's something that I learned, which I found really surprising.
- 17:04And it's so true, it's, it's an era with the statistics.
- 17:08It's kind of what I'm saying.
- 17:09So yeah, just something to be aware of.
- 17:11And then I guess jumping somewhere closer to home.
- 17:15Home as in our home right now in the UK.
- 17:17What?
- 17:18Would you call it home?
- 17:19Not yet.
- 17:20Not yet.
- 17:21Maybe, possibly unpacked.
- 17:23It's so much.
- 17:24You know, when you move into a new place,
- 17:25do you have it?
- 17:26I remember.
- 17:27I was literally saying to someone yesterday that I met.
- 17:29I was like, I hate the admin of going somewhere new.
- 17:32Like, I have to get new tupperware so that I can bring lunch to work.
- 17:36And I have to, they're just the amount of moving
- 17:39and then like sorting my shit out.
- 17:41It's going to take me weeks to be there.
- 17:43Like, I just by phone still fucked.
- 17:45Don't worry.
- 17:46I'm going to do it today.
- 17:47Just like, please sort of that.
- 17:49I just love it.
- 17:50We're walking from meetings to meetings.
- 17:51Do we turn left?
- 17:52All right.
- 17:53And I'm just like, she has no data.
- 17:55She's, I was like, should I just screw with her?
- 17:57And be like, yeah, left here.
- 17:58So see you, bye.
- 17:59Just make some of it.
- 18:00Leave you down in the bottom part.
- 18:01Trying to protect my phone's working.
- 18:02So I'm like, it's left here, right?
- 18:04She's like, no.
- 18:06Oh, gosh.
- 18:07So yes, I'm just quickly in the UK.
- 18:11Yeah, one thing I've definitely noticed is.
- 18:13How cheaper groceries?
- 18:15Yeah, that.
- 18:16Yep.
- 18:17But also just all through the newspapers
- 18:20is like the mortgage crisis.
- 18:21Like the number of people struggling to pay their mortgage.
- 18:26And the house price declines.
- 18:30The UK is expecting house prices to climb about 35% by 2025,
- 18:34which is absolutely crazy.
- 18:36Like to put that perspective New Zealand.
- 18:38And eight percent or something like that?
- 18:40It's down to about 13%.
- 18:41Yeah.
- 18:42And it's expected to be 15 to 17 is what they're expecting
- 18:45that to kind of, it's going to be more than double.
- 18:48Yeah.
- 18:49This is, yeah, this is going to be more than double.
- 18:50And it's just like, wow, if you're sitting on your biggest asset,
- 18:53being your house, and you're seeing that decline by 35%.
- 18:58And it might not be 35.
- 18:59It might be 30, even 25.
- 19:01It's still a huge...
- 19:02Even 15, you're like, yeah.
- 19:03Like that is a huge knock on effect.
- 19:07Not to, like, physically what you can spend,
- 19:10but mentally how wealthy you feel,
- 19:13and therefore your willingness to spend money
- 19:17and all of that, you know,
- 19:19because you're no longer sitting on an asset
- 19:23that you thought was valuable.
- 19:25Yeah.
- 19:26Or as valuable.
- 19:27Yeah.
- 19:28So it's kind of like if you had $100,000 in the bank.
- 19:31I have $75,000.
- 19:32Now you're going to have $75.
- 19:34You're just a bit more like, oh, maybe I shouldn't spend that.
- 19:37Oh, you know, you just...
- 19:38Mentally, it's just a bit different.
- 19:39So the wealth, which is kind of what we call the wealth effect.
- 19:42And it has flow and effects into other industries
- 19:45and the way people spend money and how they feel and all of that.
- 19:48So it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
- 19:51But yeah, and mortgage rates.
- 19:52I mean, we're seeing it in New Zealand,
- 19:54this thing in the UK, mortgage rates, you know, above 6%
- 19:57that it's starting to hurt a lot of people.
- 20:00And yes, there's light at the end of the tunnel
- 20:02with interest rates in New Zealand,
- 20:04but not so much in the UK.
- 20:06Their inflation is still at 9%.
- 20:08So they've got inflation.
- 20:10Sorry.
- 20:11Yes.
- 20:12We have Brits now.
- 20:13We have British.
- 20:14We have...
- 20:15Wow.
- 20:16I don't know what that was like German.
- 20:18Not even German.
- 20:19Of course.
- 20:20Wow.
- 20:21Wow.
- 20:22Yeah.
- 20:23It's not a strength of mine.
- 20:24No.
- 20:25People that can just do it.
- 20:26That's so funny.
- 20:27I feel like...
- 20:28I think the South Africa, I love them.
- 20:30Yeah.
- 20:31Oh my god.
- 20:32Ha.
- 20:33Ha.
- 20:34Ha.
- 20:35I'd like to go to the shop.
- 20:37Oh my god.
- 20:38This is so good.
- 20:39Oh, anyway.
- 20:40We're not meant to start accidents as microgressions.
- 20:43I'm sorry.
- 20:44Yes.
- 20:45No.
- 20:46But yeah, I think the fact that inflation
- 20:48is not coming down as quick as expected in the UK,
- 20:51means interest rates are going to have to keep going up,
- 20:53which means mortgage rates are going to have to keep going up.
- 20:55Oh, this is a bit much for me.
- 20:56Which, yeah.
- 20:57It just means...
- 20:58Essentially, thanks are not good in the UK.
- 20:59And get worse, forgets better.
- 21:00Great.
- 21:01So...
- 21:02Great.
- 21:03And that's it.
- 21:04And we're going to finish with...
- 21:05Oh, would you rather?
- 21:06Oh, yes.
- 21:07Which we forgot to do in Sicily.
- 21:08Sorry.
- 21:09Yeah, we forgot to do in Sicily.
- 21:10I was a bit preoccupied just wanting an apparel to gun us.
- 21:12Yeah.
- 21:13I was like, rip this up, let's go down.
- 21:14Let's go down.
- 21:15Let's go eat some pasta and have an apparel.
- 21:16Just watching and just ready for a drink.
- 21:18Yeah.
- 21:19Would you rather have a job that you hate that pays really well?
- 21:21Or a job you love with a really terrible salary?
- 21:25How terrible and how good are we talking?
- 21:27Oh, you can't keep...
- 21:28No, I know.
- 21:29No specifics.
- 21:30Because if I was on not enough to get by and actually do anything...
- 21:34Yeah.
- 21:35I'd probably choose the highest salary.
- 21:38But if I'm earning enough to be able to live somewhat
- 21:43within the life I want to live, even if it's not going to get me far ahead.
- 21:47I mean, I've been in this position before.
- 21:49It's hard.
- 21:50I've been in both.
- 21:51Yeah.
- 21:52And I don't know.
- 21:54The job I hated, but was paid well.
- 21:58You kind of...
- 21:59You make it work, but you can't survive there.
- 22:01Do you know what I mean?
- 22:02It's like...
- 22:03It's literally...
- 22:04It's literally money doesn't solve the problem of...
- 22:07Not wanting to turn up to work every day and actually hating being there for five days a week.
- 22:11Yeah.
- 22:12Like, you cannot solve that.
- 22:14And...
- 22:15Why did you hate it?
- 22:16It was just a bad, really bad culture.
- 22:18Yeah.
- 22:20Bad culture, but also I felt incredibly like not challenged.
- 22:25Yeah.
- 22:26You know, like I could have done nothing for four days of the week and they would have no idea.
- 22:30Yeah.
- 22:31And I think on paper my job looked really cool and good.
- 22:35Yeah.
- 22:36But the money and the money was great.
- 22:38Yeah.
- 22:39And that's the only reason honestly I've got some savings.
- 22:41So I don't regret being in that job.
- 22:43But I left after a year because I just felt like...
- 22:45I think it also makes you appreciate a good job.
- 22:48Do you know what I mean?
- 22:49Like, I think if I'd never had that, I would have thought that every job was amazing or not realised how good it was.
- 22:57Yeah, how to make a job with me or...
- 22:59It's almost like...
- 23:01Honestly, it's like being in ship relationships who can be a good one or living in a horrible house.
- 23:06Can you do a good one or living in terrible weather and then being...
- 23:09You know, I think that contrast.
- 23:11If you don't have the darker side of life and whatever aspect you're talking about,
- 23:16you never really appreciate the lighter side of what it is.
- 23:19It's always darkest before the dawn.
- 23:21All right.
- 23:22And on that stunning piece of wisdom.
- 23:25I definitely come up with that by myself.
- 23:27But no, I think ultimately I think it depends on how much.
- 23:31I reckon it's a job...
- 23:33I would do a job I love with a blow average salary.
- 23:35Same.
- 23:36On the basis that I could back myself to do something else to make my salary.
- 23:40Yeah, yeah.
- 23:41Or invest or be just super clever with your money.
- 23:44Yeah, same.
