years now so 24 00:00:55,620 --> 00:00:58,440 broken for eight years so yeah happy to 25 00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,820 be on happy to help as much as I can 26 00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:02,160 That's it man and I guess like the way 27 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,719 you need to look at it is also like the 28 00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:05,580 the more debt you can take on the more 29 00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:08,040 debt that actually cash flows not debt 30 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,299 that it puts you in a negative position 31 00:01:09,299 --> 00:01:12,060 but puts you in a positive position the 32 00:01:12,060 --> 00:01:14,159 more money and more wealth you can 33 00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:16,200 actually make so that's really the 34 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,820 important piece on this we want to be 35 00:01:17,820 --> 00:01:21,000 able to help investors and you know 36 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,100 every single person 37 00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:25,140 um to get into some kind of property 38 00:01:25,140 --> 00:01:27,060 hopefully a commercial property that's 39 00:01:27,060 --> 00:01:29,280 cash flowing to basically find Financial 40 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,380 Freedom because at the end of the day 41 00:01:31,380 --> 00:01:33,180 that's why we're doing this we're trying 42 00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:35,640 to get to Financial Freedom so we can 43 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,100 choose what what to do with our time 44 00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:40,140 um instead of having to go to the nine 45 00:01:40,140 --> 00:01:42,659 to five no exactly that's uh why I 46 00:01:42,659 --> 00:01:45,000 started my own podcast uh because at the 47 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,799 end of the day you know people are going 48 00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:49,020 to get into debt and if they don't have 49 00:01:49,020 --> 00:01:51,780 the right help to use debt to you know 50 00:01:51,780 --> 00:01:53,399 propel them forward to Financial Freedom 51 00:01:53,399 --> 00:01:55,740 you can actually put them backwards so 52 00:01:55,740 --> 00:01:56,939 yeah 53 00:01:56,939 --> 00:01:59,399 that's it mate all right so in today's 54 00:01:59,399 --> 00:02:01,560 episode we're going to be talking about 55 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,320 how to clean up your act how to make 56 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,020 yourself look better in the bank's eyes 57 00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:09,840 in terms of like you know 58 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,560 not spending so much money on you know 59 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,760 incidental crap and making yourself 60 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,640 really being able to have really good 61 00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:19,440 borrowing capacity because like we just 62 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,900 said The more debt you can take on the 63 00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:23,879 cash flows the better position you're 64 00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:26,040 going to be to actually buy more 65 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,080 property the cash flows and to reach 66 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,720 that Financial goal so mate how many 67 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,660 months prior to like applying for 68 00:02:33,660 --> 00:02:36,780 finance would you start trying to keep 69 00:02:36,780 --> 00:02:38,459 you around in terms of looking better 70 00:02:38,459 --> 00:02:41,220 for Lending for the bank well it depends 71 00:02:41,220 --> 00:02:43,739 on your goals so if if you're going to 72 00:02:43,739 --> 00:02:45,420 want to buy a property and you don't 73 00:02:45,420 --> 00:02:47,819 have a deposit well the sooner the 74 00:02:47,819 --> 00:02:49,800 better and it might take you 12 months 75 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,480 to get there so if you can start 76 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,879 managing your money now to prepare to 77 00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:55,260 apply for finance 78 00:02:55,260 --> 00:02:57,660 between say three months before you 79 00:02:57,660 --> 00:02:59,640 actually apply at that point your money 80 00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:01,800 should be working and you should be 81 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,440 looking good ready for for a bank loan 82 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,599 so you think three months is enough or 83 00:03:06,599 --> 00:03:08,879 would you start possibly doing this like 84 00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:11,159 when you start saving for that deposit 85 00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:13,319 like that could be like you know six 12 86 00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:15,599 months 18 months even 36 months out 87 00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:17,400 sometimes for these big big monster 88 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,659 deposits you need for commercial 89 00:03:18,659 --> 00:03:21,480 property yeah look I mean if you just 90 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,519 think about how much of a deposit you 91 00:03:23,519 --> 00:03:26,159 need and where you're starting from you 92 00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:28,200 might need 12 to 18 months to get there 93 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,000 it depends on where where you're 94 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,800 starting from if you're really bad with 95 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,900 money and you've got a lot of debt yeah 96 00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:36,360 you want to start well in advance I'd 97 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,319 say 12 months 18 months at least so when 98 00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:43,140 when do you apply for finance like will 99 00:03:43,140 --> 00:03:44,640 the bank go through your actual bank 100 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,680 statement well sorry when you actually 101 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,379 go through to apply for finance will the 102 00:03:49,379 --> 00:03:51,480 bank just go through the statement that 103 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,760 you give them or do they have access to 104 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,920 be able to look Beyond like the digital 105 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,080 records what basically whatever they 106 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,659 want to look at yeah so at the moment uh 107 00:04:00,659 --> 00:04:01,920 there's a thing that's coming out called 108 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,459 open banking it's not out yet but while 109 00:04:05,459 --> 00:04:07,379 it's not the bank will only have access 110 00:04:07,379 --> 00:04:09,000 to see the statements that you provide 111 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,760 them and for an application they usually 112 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,439 just want to see the account where 113 00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:16,139 you're salary gets paid to or your main 114 00:04:16,139 --> 00:04:18,478 transacting account but say you get paid 115 00:04:18,478 --> 00:04:20,820 and you just transfer that money out the 116 00:04:20,820 --> 00:04:22,260 same day or the next day into another 117 00:04:22,260 --> 00:04:23,639 account they're going to want to see 118 00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:25,800 that account too but if it's just your 119 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,479 main account your your bills get paid 120 00:04:27,479 --> 00:04:29,340 from there but then you save in separate 121 00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:30,540 accounts they're not going to ask about 122 00:04:30,540 --> 00:04:31,860 the other one so just look at that main 123 00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:32,759 one 124 00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:35,940 and so this thing that's coming out does 125 00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:38,100 that give them access to basically look 126 00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:39,800 through all your bank records 127 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,699 willy-nilly just 128 00:04:41,699 --> 00:04:43,800 you know like they'll be able to know 129 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,100 that at you know 11 50 on you know on a 130 00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:49,680 Saturday night I ordered you know uh I'm 131 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,979 a McFlurry from macca's on ubereats yeah 132 00:04:52,979 --> 00:04:53,940 you know 133 00:04:53,940 --> 00:04:56,280 yeah look no one knows exactly what it's 134 00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:58,380 going to look like because 135 00:04:58,380 --> 00:05:00,900 open banking will allow you say you're 136 00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:03,060 the borrower to give permission for 137 00:05:03,060 --> 00:05:04,500 other Banks to see all of your 138 00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:06,660 transactions and then but more 139 00:05:06,660 --> 00:05:08,280 importantly it's going to have a 140 00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:11,880 holistic view of money and money out and 141 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,100 how much is your Surplus and then what's 142 00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:16,020 your affordability on that Surplus so 143 00:05:16,020 --> 00:05:19,259 it's got a potential to to help a lot of 144 00:05:19,259 --> 00:05:21,660 people because it's it's like true real 145 00:05:21,660 --> 00:05:24,900 life real-time data and then that will 146 00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:28,259 then allow you to work out well you I 147 00:05:28,259 --> 00:05:29,400 think it's going to go to a point where 148 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,900 you're going to get interest rates and 149 00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:33,000 you know risk ratings based on that 150 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,740 right because it'll it'll take a 151 00:05:34,740 --> 00:05:36,979 holistic picture but we're not there yet 152 00:05:36,979 --> 00:05:40,440 so right now the way to navigate it to 153 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,300 be ahead of the curve is to manage your 154 00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:44,520 money well and that's why we start this 155 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,979 podcast yeah it's awesome man I did 156 00:05:46,979 --> 00:05:48,479 notice like it's probably happened for 157 00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:50,639 like you know probably last three years 158 00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:52,440 something when you're looking at the 159 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,840 your statement in your your bank records 160 00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:56,820 there's all different icons and stuff 161 00:05:56,820 --> 00:05:58,740 and little pictures to make it a lot 162 00:05:58,740 --> 00:06:00,539 more easier to understand is that for 163 00:06:00,539 --> 00:06:02,520 the bank to understand or is that for us 164 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,860 to understand yeah it's definitely being 165 00:06:04,860 --> 00:06:06,660 sold to us like it's for us to 166 00:06:06,660 --> 00:06:09,060 categorize our expenses right yeah but 167 00:06:09,060 --> 00:06:10,800 you know the thing about managing money 168 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,660 is that you're not going to figure out 169 00:06:12,660 --> 00:06:15,360 only looking backwards right people can 170 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,220 there's a lot of apps that track your 171 00:06:17,220 --> 00:06:20,100 expenses it can Auto categorize it you 172 00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:21,900 can have these little icons that show 173 00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:23,940 you what you spend it on but not until 174 00:06:23,940 --> 00:06:25,979 you have an understanding of how much 175 00:06:25,979 --> 00:06:28,800 money do you actually need between now 176 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,780 and next payday are you can you actually 177 00:06:30,780 --> 00:06:32,699 get ahead and that's where people get 178 00:06:32,699 --> 00:06:35,400 unstuck those those apps don't show you 179 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,120 that 180 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,220 some of them do have predictive billing 181 00:06:38,220 --> 00:06:41,039 but I use I personally use another app 182 00:06:41,039 --> 00:06:43,199 it's called timely bills there's a few 183 00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:44,880 out there cool yeah there's been like 184 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,979 pocketbook and money brilliant a lot of 185 00:06:46,979 --> 00:06:48,960 them get bought out by Banks but the one 186 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,880 I've been using is timely bills so that 187 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,319 way you can actually see how much money 188 00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:54,840 until you get paid today and then 189 00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:57,360 between now and next payday you've got 190 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,039 rent you've got electricity you've got a 191 00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:00,960 phone bill all this stuff that has to 192 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,840 come out if you don't track that you 193 00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:05,880 just see the paid the paycheck so say 194 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:06,840 you get paid two grand you're like 195 00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:08,699 awesome I've got two grand available so 196 00:07:08,699 --> 00:07:10,740 then you go spend a grand and then all 197 00:07:10,740 --> 00:07:11,880 these bills start coming out it's like 198 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,500 whoops I actually didn't have a grand to 199 00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:16,199 spend I only had like 300 bucks right so 200 00:07:16,199 --> 00:07:18,300 that's what the apps uh sorry the 201 00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:20,520 banking platforms are lacking so that's 202 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,680 why we have to be proactive to see so 203 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,120 once you know exactly what's going to 204 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,400 come out between now and then and you 205 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,259 put money aside for your day-to-day 206 00:07:28,259 --> 00:07:30,599 spending in a separate account ideally 207 00:07:30,599 --> 00:07:32,819 then you can start investing the 208 00:07:32,819 --> 00:07:34,560 difference or you can hammer down debt 209 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,720 that's how I did it so is the time 210 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,060 ability uh payday or is that free no 211 00:07:39,060 --> 00:07:40,740 it's free it's free so you have to 212 00:07:40,740 --> 00:07:42,240 manually put in yeah it's really good so 213 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,819 you actually just put in the amount it 214 00:07:44,819 --> 00:07:46,500 even has icons as well by the way like 215 00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:48,780 so you can select the provider and say 216 00:07:48,780 --> 00:07:50,520 when it's due and I've started putting 217 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,080 everything in there even like property 218 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,680 expenses so then I now know that if when 219 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,300 a bill is due how much it's going to be 220 00:07:57,300 --> 00:07:59,699 and the good thing is in the app you can 221 00:07:59,699 --> 00:08:02,220 actually tick it off when it's paid so 222 00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:04,080 you just go tick paid and instead of 223 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,060 getting a negative feeling because this 224 00:08:06,060 --> 00:08:07,440 is what happens with people they get a 225 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,780 bill and they're like oh I'm going to 226 00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:11,880 pay a bill but why are they feeling 227 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,440 negative they've got a service for that 228 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,300 right they just had internet for a month 229 00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:16,919 or they just had electricity for a month 230 00:08:16,919 --> 00:08:18,479 or three months so why should they feel 231 00:08:18,479 --> 00:08:20,099 negative it's because it's 232 00:08:20,099 --> 00:08:21,960 sent to them by email and then they 233 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,940 didn't know was coming but if you know 234 00:08:23,940 --> 00:08:26,099 that it's due and you have to pay it and 235 00:08:26,099 --> 00:08:28,379 you have a little tick box it's like a 236 00:08:28,379 --> 00:08:29,940 little dopamine hit so you end up 237 00:08:29,940 --> 00:08:31,560 getting a like a positive feeling to pay 238 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,779 a bill so you know that's where it 239 00:08:33,779 --> 00:08:35,339 really helps to recondition yourself 240 00:08:35,339 --> 00:08:38,580 yeah I remember when um my fiancee and I 241 00:08:38,580 --> 00:08:41,339 a long time ago I'm saving for um our 242 00:08:41,339 --> 00:08:43,080 principal place of residence 243 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,880 um we obviously we live in Sydney um so 244 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,040 we needed to save a fair chunk 245 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,560 um and we got excited when you know we'd 246 00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:52,440 be able to like pay all our expenses and 247 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,300 then you saw like okay I can put away 248 00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:57,839 like like three or four K this month you 249 00:08:57,839 --> 00:08:59,100 know and you start seeing it like build 250 00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:00,839 up and build up and build up 251 00:09:00,839 --> 00:09:03,000 um so it is quite exciting 252 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,860 um but I think it's also one of those 253 00:09:04,860 --> 00:09:08,040 things that maybe this app like you have 254 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,720 to keep your finger on the pulse if you 255 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,760 look at it every day like something that 256 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,580 you pay attention to every single day is 257 00:09:14,580 --> 00:09:16,800 front of mind and you're more likely to 258 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,600 actually keep on going and keep on 259 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,360 saving it's like when you like say you 260 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,980 started the gym right say you started a 261 00:09:22,980 --> 00:09:25,800 CrossFit gym the first month is going to 262 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,800 suck like so bad then after you've done 263 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,240 it for like two months you'll probably 264 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,519 start seeing um noticeable change in 265 00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:33,720 your body 266 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,399 um and then you'll start like seeing ABS 267 00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:36,660 or you'll start seeing a few muscles 268 00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:37,860 come up and that's when you get more 269 00:09:37,860 --> 00:09:40,260 spurred on to do it so I think the app I 270 00:09:40,260 --> 00:09:41,339 mean I'm definitely going to download 271 00:09:41,339 --> 00:09:43,380 that after this session 272 00:09:43,380 --> 00:09:45,060 um you know because keeping your finger 273 00:09:45,060 --> 00:09:47,880 on the post because I I'm not sure how 274 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,820 long or how many times a day or how many 275 00:09:50,820 --> 00:09:52,680 how freaking people check their Bank 276 00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:55,200 balances but like I do it pretty much 277 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,820 every day because I'm already always 278 00:09:56,820 --> 00:10:00,240 like want to see progress you know this 279 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,800 that might be a game changer for that 280 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,080 yeah look it's helped me uh and I've 281 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,580 been doing it I used a different app 282 00:10:05,580 --> 00:10:07,440 before but I've been doing it for at 283 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,060 least two and a half years maybe even 284 00:10:09,060 --> 00:10:11,040 three years now and that was a game 285 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,440 changer for me because I always knew 286 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,240 that I was going to have enough money 287 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,300 for my bills when they're due and then I 288 00:10:18,300 --> 00:10:21,300 knew what was left and I would transfer 289 00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:23,160 that money into other accounts so then 290 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,959 you know obviously the word budget 291 00:10:24,959 --> 00:10:27,120 people don't like that word budget but 292 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,240 if you know what your cost is to live 293 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,459 like your groceries and you know having 294 00:10:32,459 --> 00:10:33,959 an account like you said you're married 295 00:10:33,959 --> 00:10:36,180 my wife and I had personal accounts that 296 00:10:36,180 --> 00:10:37,620 we would have our personal spending 297 00:10:37,620 --> 00:10:39,959 because you still got to have some 298 00:10:39,959 --> 00:10:41,820 freedom to spend money the way you want 299 00:10:41,820 --> 00:10:43,500 but up to a certain limit right if 300 00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:44,839 you've got access to the main account 301 00:10:44,839 --> 00:10:48,360 you can easily overspend so then it's 302 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,100 like a weekly allowance so then if I 303 00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:52,200 want to buy flowers she doesn't know I 304 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,120 bought them right because she has an 305 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,740 accident account if she wants to you 306 00:10:55,740 --> 00:10:57,660 know buy something for me for my 307 00:10:57,660 --> 00:10:59,459 birthday I won't know what you bought so 308 00:10:59,459 --> 00:11:01,019 it's important to have that freedom as 309 00:11:01,019 --> 00:11:04,140 well up to a certain limit and then you 310 00:11:04,140 --> 00:11:05,940 can adjust it as you go that's the thing 311 00:11:05,940 --> 00:11:07,440 people think that oh once I've set a 312 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,779 budget it's stuck now I can't live live 313 00:11:09,779 --> 00:11:13,800 freely the key is to be able to uh you 314 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,959 know spend the way you want to spend and 315 00:11:15,959 --> 00:11:19,260 not feel poor but still save up money 316 00:11:19,260 --> 00:11:21,360 and and then you know you add another 317 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,860 layer to that you have to automate it 318 00:11:22,860 --> 00:11:24,360 all right and we'll talk more about 319 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,360 automation later yeah well I I totally 320 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,760 agree with that like having a a separate 321 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,339 account or a bucket for spending and I 322 00:11:32,339 --> 00:11:34,680 remember like a little while ago 323 00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:36,000 actually was quite a while ago when 324 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,160 we're in our saving mode 325 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,779 um they say like you put you know x 326 00:11:39,779 --> 00:11:42,480 amount away in that account and no 327 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,240 matter what you have to spend it even if 328 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,459 you just spend it on the like thing you 329 00:11:47,459 --> 00:11:49,019 just have to spend it has it has to go 330 00:11:49,019 --> 00:11:51,899 to zero every single month so it feels 331 00:11:51,899 --> 00:11:53,760 like you're not like 332 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,920 um you're not holding back you're not 333 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,540 you're not feeling like you're missing 334 00:11:57,540 --> 00:11:59,100 out so you can still go out there and 335 00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:00,720 you know you can go have a really nice 336 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,940 night or you can go spend you know a 337 00:12:02,940 --> 00:12:04,380 hundred dollars on a big night out with 338 00:12:04,380 --> 00:12:06,360 him and stuff like that and not feel bad 339 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,459 about it yeah yeah but I think the key 340 00:12:08,459 --> 00:12:10,140 is that you can do what you want with it 341 00:12:10,140 --> 00:12:12,839 it's guilt-free spending so some people 342 00:12:12,839 --> 00:12:14,940 want to put some money on crypto you 343 00:12:14,940 --> 00:12:16,260 know that's just what they enjoy doing 344 00:12:16,260 --> 00:12:17,579 but then that you're going to want to 345 00:12:17,579 --> 00:12:18,959 have access to all your savings to do 346 00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:20,160 that but if you've got a personal 347 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,480 account that you're putting away you 348 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,220 know 50 bucks or 100 a week or whatever 349 00:12:23,220 --> 00:12:25,140 and you build that up and you can go 350 00:12:25,140 --> 00:12:27,720 invest in different little things you 351 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,160 can if you want or if you want to pay 352 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,260 back you know your joint debt or if you 353 00:12:31,260 --> 00:12:32,940 want to add it to your combined savings 354 00:12:32,940 --> 00:12:34,380 you can but at least it's your choice 355 00:12:34,380 --> 00:12:36,060 and you've got to have that guilt-free 356 00:12:36,060 --> 00:12:37,800 spending as well 357 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,200 yeah I did notice that uh Bitcoin has 358 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,700 actually gone up not that I have any 359 00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:43,320 invested in Bitcoin but I do have a bit 360 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,079 of a paper trading for fun and I bought 361 00:12:46,079 --> 00:12:48,120 us some Bitcoin at like I think it was 362 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,380 like 17 363 00:12:49,380 --> 00:12:51,720 000 us and that's you know up a little 364 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,700 bit so yeah not a good investment in my 365 00:12:53,700 --> 00:12:56,040 mind but still no for fun I used to put 366 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,899 money into crypto and I don't anymore 367 00:12:57,899 --> 00:12:59,339 and and you know you talked about 368 00:12:59,339 --> 00:13:01,139 earlier about you know using your net 369 00:13:01,139 --> 00:13:03,420 banking account every day checking it 370 00:13:03,420 --> 00:13:05,279 well when you've got a crypto or 371 00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:07,139 multiple crypto wallets and you're 372 00:13:07,139 --> 00:13:09,000 seeing the news and you're seeing all 373 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,320 these updates on YouTube because you're 374 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,820 following those people they're always 375 00:13:11,820 --> 00:13:14,339 talking about the price so what it does 376 00:13:14,339 --> 00:13:16,560 is it takes you on an emotional roller 377 00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:18,959 coaster so that's what I realized I 378 00:13:18,959 --> 00:13:20,540 don't want to invest in anymore because 379 00:13:20,540 --> 00:13:22,740 it's going up and down and it's taking 380 00:13:22,740 --> 00:13:24,540 all of my attention and my emotions with 381 00:13:24,540 --> 00:13:26,040 it so 382 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,779 um and it's not stable and it's not 383 00:13:27,779 --> 00:13:29,760 income producing you know of course 384 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,680 there's things like that's right 385 00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:35,040 um D5 and whatnot but I I think to keep 386 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,779 it simple when you invest in property 387 00:13:36,779 --> 00:13:39,180 you know you're leveraging you're 388 00:13:39,180 --> 00:13:40,980 borrowing you're contributing your your 389 00:13:40,980 --> 00:13:42,420 savings but you're it's an income 390 00:13:42,420 --> 00:13:43,680 producing asset and you're getting 391 00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:45,360 Capital Growth if you invest well as 392 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,160 well so it just makes more yeah well 393 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,560 that's the big issue with like stocks 394 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:51,600 and shares and you know crypto and stuff 395 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,120 like that is it so liquid that you can 396 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,100 make a decision on an emotion straight 397 00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:58,980 away whereas with property you know if 398 00:13:58,980 -->

00:15:14,220 --> 00:15:15,660 potentially 430 00:15:15,660 --> 00:15:17,279 um you know it could unfortunate 431 00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:19,320 originally become more liquided so it 432 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:20,760 could become a more of emotional asset 433 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,440 as well yeah yeah I mean it's already 434 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,019 emotional as it is right for people

could buy and sell in the 438 00:15:31,380 --> 00:15:34,320 same day oh man I don't know it would be 439 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,880 hard because there's people living in 440 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,320 there right there's going to be rules 441 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,660 around them so by the way I don't own 442 00:15:39,660 --> 00:15:41,340 your product before commercial property 443

00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,920 think about putting together some kind 447 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,040 of how to use app um something like that 448 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,519 or how to use like uh timely build and 449 00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:01,320 then we can set it up as a free giveaway 450 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,540 for the um for the listeners what do you 451 00:16:03,540 --> 00:16:05,399

457 00:16:15,959 --> 00:16:18,959 listeners because yeah it has really 458 00:16:18,959 --> 00:16:21,060 changed the way I look at money it's 459 00:16:21,060 --> 00:16:22,980 given me a positive feeling when I pay 460 00:16:22,980 --> 00:16:25,800 bills I always have enough and you know 461 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,199 even if you don't like say you you know 462 00:16:28,199 --> 00:16:29,880 you have to you know your investment 463 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,260 property and there's not enough money 464 00:16:31,260 --> 00:16:33,060 that month because you had to fix the 465 00:16:33,060 --> 00:16:35,579 water heater like you mentioned right 466 00:16:35,579 --> 00:16:38,040 um but of course you now you know that 467 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,540 you need to move money into that account 468 00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:41,519 right because yeah you've got something 469 00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:43,980 to do but if if you didn't monitor it 470 00:16:43,980 --> 00:16:45,720 and you're relying just on the cash flow 471 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,240 on the property to pay all the costs uh 472 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,459 you could easily fall in the rears and 473 00:16:50,459 --> 00:16:52,079 if you're preparing yourself for Future 474 00:16:52,079 --> 00:16:54,420 Finance one of the things you never want 475 00:16:54,420 --> 00:16:57,060 to have on any of your accounts is Aries 476 00:16:57,060 --> 00:16:59,579 or late payments or late payment fees 477 00:16:59,579 --> 00:17:02,040 yep those are the things that Banks as 478 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,720 soon as they see that they don't want to 479 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,640 touch you I mean yes they want an 480 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,260 explanation sometimes things do happen 481 00:17:07,260 --> 00:17:10,859 like admin issues but if you don't move 482 00:17:10,859 --> 00:17:12,240 regularly you don't put your money in 483 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,380 the right account and you're late on 484 00:17:13,380 --> 00:17:15,299 things especially Financial commitments 485 00:17:15,299 --> 00:17:17,459 like loans and credit cards and whatnot 486 00:17:17,459 --> 00:17:18,900 forget about it you shouldn't be 487 00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:21,299 applying for a loan you're not ready 488 00:17:21,299 --> 00:17:24,059 so I mean so you're saying that any kind 489 00:17:24,059 --> 00:17:27,839 of late fee so I actually have had a few 490 00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:30,419 times where like we haven't we have like 491 00:17:30,419 --> 00:17:31,799 different accounts 492 00:17:31,799 --> 00:17:33,480 um especially in offset accounts and 493 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,000 stuff where we'll have like you know 494 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,980 your your medibank or like something 495 00:17:37,980 --> 00:17:39,840 like that uh any Private health color 496 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,660 coming out of and for some reason you 497 00:17:42,660 --> 00:17:44,280 know it's like a couple of dollars short 498 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,320 and it it goes to a late payment or 499 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,480 something like that yeah I know that's 500 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:49,620 bad 501 00:17:49,620 --> 00:17:52,140 um what ramifications like realistically 502 00:17:52,140 --> 00:17:54,960 does that does that have 503 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,820 it depends on what you're applying for 504 00:17:56,820 --> 00:17:58,620 and the bank that's looking at it so 505 00:17:58,620 --> 00:18:00,960 some banks actually don't want to see a 506 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,780 bank statement so you know about two or 507 00:18:03,780 --> 00:18:05,880 three years ago that's all they wanted 508 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,380 to see there was this thing about 509 00:18:07,380 --> 00:18:09,900 expenses and I don't know if you if you 510 00:18:09,900 --> 00:18:11,460 followed this there was a court case 511 00:18:11,460 --> 00:18:14,340 with Westpac and and Asic I think it was 512 00:18:14,340 --> 00:18:16,380 apra maybe and it was about 513 00:18:16,380 --> 00:18:18,900 um they're called like the Shiraz thing 514 00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:20,460 basically saying that people can adjust 515 00:18:20,460 --> 00:18:22,919 their living expenses when they when 516 00:18:22,919 --> 00:18:24,900 they commit to a to a property right or 517 00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:27,539 a mortgage so then they started to hone 518 00:18:27,539 --> 00:18:29,580 hone back on that because it adds more 519 00:18:29,580 --> 00:18:31,740 workload to the bank to constantly check 520 00:18:31,740 --> 00:18:33,419 bank statements and go through line by 521 00:18:33,419 --> 00:18:34,679 line 522 00:18:34,679 --> 00:18:36,900 um so if so if you go to a bank that 523 00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:38,640 doesn't ask for them 524 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,860 um then and your expenses are what 525 00:18:40,860 --> 00:18:42,600 you're declaring are reasonable for your 526 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,539 household then yeah late fee they won't 527 00:18:45,539 --> 00:18:47,220 even know it exists but if you're going 528 00:18:47,220 --> 00:18:49,080 to the same bank they're that late fee 529 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,000 was charged from of course they're going 530 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:51,960 to see it they're gonna they're gonna 531 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,419 ask about it and if it's a logical 532 00:18:54,419 --> 00:18:56,820 reason like I had money in the other 533 00:18:56,820 --> 00:18:58,260 account just forgot to transfer the 534 00:18:58,260 --> 00:19:00,059 one-offs it's fine we just got to cover 535 00:19:00,059 --> 00:19:02,760 it off in commentary but if it's every 536 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:03,660 month 537 00:19:03,660 --> 00:19:05,580 and you're always late and you're 538 00:19:05,580 --> 00:19:06,600 constantly putting money from another 539 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:07,620 account or you're borrowing from 540 00:19:07,620 --> 00:19:10,140 somewhere else then yeah it's a red flag 541 00:19:10,140 --> 00:19:11,940 it means like if you can't even stay on 542 00:19:11,940 --> 00:19:13,500 top of you you know your private health 543 00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:15,000 insurance how you can stay on top of a 544 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,740 mortgage payment 545 00:19:16,740 --> 00:19:19,320 yeah it's just because um it doesn't 546 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,880 happen often but it's happened probably 547 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,460 like you know three times in the last 10 548 00:19:23,460 --> 00:19:25,679 years so like it it has happened 549 00:19:25,679 --> 00:19:27,059 um yeah and it's just purely because 550 00:19:27,059 --> 00:19:29,700 like for some reason we got because he 551 00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:31,260 split up the money in different buckets 552 00:19:31,260 --> 00:19:32,940 like you were saying 553 00:19:32,940 --> 00:19:34,559 um and for some reason that's been 554 00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:37,260 overdrawn like on occasion I'm like oh 555 00:19:37,260 --> 00:19:39,419 my God like this better not screw my my 556 00:19:39,419 --> 00:19:40,740 whole credit rating I'm not gonna hold 557 00:19:40,740 --> 00:19:43,260 his my whole career on one one transfer 558 00:19:43,260 --> 00:19:45,720 for a private health insurance yeah no 559 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,299 look to be honest it's not going to and 560 00:19:48,299 --> 00:19:49,980 I think timely bills will help you a lot 561 00:19:49,980 --> 00:19:52,020 with that because that that only happens 562 00:19:52,020 --> 00:19:53,820 because you forgot that that was due and 563 00:19:53,820 --> 00:19:54,960 you didn't have enough money even if 564 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,539 it's you know two dollars difference 565 00:19:57,539 --> 00:19:59,039 um you know that's what happens when you 566 00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:00,480 allocate money into different buckets 567 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,400 into other bank accounts you need to 568 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,900 make sure that that main account where 569 00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:05,820 all your bills get taken out from always 570 00:20:05,820 --> 00:20:08,460 has enough to cover or to do so 571 00:20:08,460 --> 00:20:09,900 sometimes you get excited you know I 572 00:20:09,900 --> 00:20:11,340 want to put four grand in savings like 573 00:20:11,340 --> 00:20:13,500 awesome it's so exciting it's a 574 00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:15,480 foreground in this account but then you 575 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,740 know 500 of that you probably should 576 00:20:16,740 --> 00:20:18,720 have left because you got you know 577 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,020 yeah yeah 578 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,539 it was so mate like in terms of charges 579 00:20:24,539 --> 00:20:26,100 on your account 580 00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:28,380 um what are the worst types of charges 581 00:20:28,380 --> 00:20:29,940 you can start putting on your account 582 00:20:29,940 --> 00:20:31,799 apart from late fees has already touched 583 00:20:31,799 --> 00:20:34,200 on that but like things like what does 584 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,360 the bank absolutely not want to see you 585 00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:38,580 spending your money on okay I'll tell 586 00:20:38,580 --> 00:20:39,660 you a few 587 00:20:39,660 --> 00:20:43,320 one is uh gambling so if they can see 588 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,660

gambling 592 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,440 um that's that's a red flag for sure uh 593 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,140 another one which is like basically an 594 00:20:58,140 --> 00:21:01,200 instant

they give you uh give you finance 598 00:21:07,380 --> 00:21:09,360 here that that's anyone who needs that 599 00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:12,480 type of Finance means that they 600 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,000 um can't live within their means so 601 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,039 they're behind they're always chasing 602 00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:20,100 the tail so that their paycheck they're 603 00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:22,380 not not even living paycheck to paycheck 604 00:21:22,380 --> 00:21:23,880 because that paycheck doesn't get them 605 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,620 to the next one they need to get a loan 606 00:21:25,620 --> 00:21:28,080 to cover them to the next paycheck so 607 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,679 yeah that's that's a no-go and uh 608 00:21:31,679 --> 00:21:35,220 Believe It or Not uh excess alcohol uh 609 00:21:35,220 --> 00:21:37,260 so if someone's spending too much on 610 00:21:37,260 --> 00:21:39,900 alcohol that's uh that's also a red flag 611 00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:41,700 you know you can drink as much as you 612 00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:43,740 want but I had a customer that was 613 00:21:43,740 --> 00:21:45,720 legitimately buying wines through covert 614 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,520 he you know he was collecting them so 615 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,140 that that flagged and you know I made 616 00:21:49,140 --> 00:21:50,460 some commentary about it and they were 617 00:21:50,460 --> 00:21:52,080 fine but if if someone's going to the 618 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,080 pub all the time well it's a pattern and 619 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,580 they know that if you're going to keep 620 00:21:56,580 --> 00:21:58,380 spending that much you can't say you 621 00:21:58,380 --> 00:21:59,760 you're gonna drop that because you're 622 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,100 probably um you know an alcoholic 623 00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:04,380 potentially yeah 624 00:22:04,380 --> 00:22:08,220 so what I'm hearing is bio alcohol from 625 00:22:08,220 --> 00:22:11,159 Aldi to mask what you're actually buying 626 00:22:11,159 --> 00:22:13,080 that's what I'm hearing 627 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,000 that's not what I said but yeah actually 628 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,179 it's probably a good strategy 629 00:22:18,179 --> 00:22:19,799 you're right it's not a separate store 630 00:22:19,799 --> 00:22:22,280 like liquorland though 631 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,500 conflict yeah yeah fair enough so mate 632 00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:27,059 what are the good transactions what do 633 00:22:27,059 --> 00:22:28,679 they actually want to see you doing like 634 00:22:28,679 --> 00:22:30,960 how do we boost the um you know the the 635 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,020 red box or the ticks in our box okay so 636 00:22:34,020 --> 00:22:35,760 they wanna what they're really just 637 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,559 looking for more than anything is that 638 00:22:37,559 --> 00:22:39,960 your pay is consistent so they want to 639 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,760 see your pay matches the amount on your 640 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,679 pay slip and the date that you get paid 641 00:22:43,679 --> 00:22:44,880 is the same day you got paid in the 642 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,000 basically and the amount doesn't drop 643 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,679 right because someone might be permanent 644 00:22:49,679 --> 00:22:51,480 but then all of a sudden the last three 645 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,640 months their pay's gone down and it's 646 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,020 gone up well that's a sign that you 647 00:22:55,020 --> 00:22:56,940 might be casual or that you've got you 648 00:22:56,940 --> 00:22:59,039 know there's no consistency in your pay 649 00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:00,360 so that's the that's the number one 650 00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:01,740 thing they're looking for to verify that 651 00:23:01,740 --> 00:23:02,940 you actually get paid the amount that 652 00:23:02,940 --> 00:23:04,620 you've that you've declared on your 653 00:23:04,620 --> 00:23:07,380 payslip second thing is they want to see 654 00:23:07,380 --> 00:23:10,340 that the expenses that you've declared 655 00:23:10,340 --> 00:23:13,380 for your outgoing costs 656 00:23:13,380 --> 00:23:15,240 um your day-to-day living expenses 657 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,860 especially the fixed costs like we 658 00:23:16,860 --> 00:23:18,419 talked about bills 659 00:23:18,419 --> 00:23:20,820 people guess a lot of stuff but if if 660 00:23:20,820 --> 00:23:22,500 you're way off they're going to compare 661 00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:25,200 that so if you say you spend you know 662 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,600 100 on you know Private health insurance 663 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,880 but you're actually spending 400 and 664 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,200 they see that in your transactions 665 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,520 they're gonna ask the question if you 666 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,919 say I only spend 300 bucks on child care 667 00:23:34,919 --> 00:23:37,860 and they say 1500 that month well that's 668 00:23:37,860 --> 00:23:39,240 a they're going to question that so 669 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:40,740 they're just looking for consistency 670 00:23:40,740 --> 00:23:42,360 from what you declare and what what 671 00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:44,280 documents you provide all the stuff 672 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,200 about going to the grocery store or or 673 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,659 going out to dinner they don't really 674 00:23:48,659 --> 00:23:50,700 care about that because let's face it 675 00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:52,679 like you could have a big event it's a 676 00:23:52,679 --> 00:23:54,360 birthday it's an anniversary and you can 677 00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:56,159 spend a lot that month but that doesn't 678 00:23:56,159 --> 00:23:57,780 mean you can do it every month 679 00:23:57,780 --> 00:23:59,760 so they're logical right they're not 680 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,200 going to say oh look they spent you know 681 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,360 500 on dinner let's account for that 682 00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:05,400 every month well you know that's just 683 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,679 that month so it's more the fixed cost 684 00:24:07,679 --> 00:24:10,140 and then they're also looking for 685 00:24:10,140 --> 00:24:13,440 uh bills I'm sorry um debts that you 686 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,299 that you may not have disclosed in your 687 00:24:15,299 --> 00:24:16,559 financial statement your financial 688 00:24:16,559 --> 00:24:17,640 position 689 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,919 so if you if you say you don't have 690 00:24:19,919 --> 00:24:20,940 credit cards and all of a sudden there's 691 00:24:20,940 --> 00:24:22,620 a credit card payment well what's that 692 00:24:22,620 --> 00:24:24,659 well you didn't say you've got you know 693 00:24:24,659 --> 00:24:27,000 buy now pay later you know after pay or 694 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,100 zip pay so things like that but as long 695 00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:30,539 as your pay is coming in and as long as 696 00:24:30,539 --> 00:24:32,520 you're uh also not going in the negative 697 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,100 so um over drawing the account so 698 00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:37,320 there's always some money left then then 699 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,340 you're good but yeah yeah cool so with 700 00:24:41,340 --> 00:24:43,020 that Timely app can you actually share 701 00:24:43,020 --> 00:24:44,400 that with your partner as well because 702 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,960 it's obviously a big thing and it's not 703 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,880 just one person like you know working 704 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,919 the finances it's usually a team of 705 00:24:49,919 --> 00:24:51,900 people like you know a husband and wife 706 00:24:51,900 --> 00:24:55,080 well I'm sure there is a paid version 707 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,520 and I'm sure you can do a lot more with 708 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,159 it I just use it myself just to manage 709 00:24:59,159 --> 00:25:01,080 what the bills are so it doesn't manage 710 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,260 my expenses so that is something that I 711 00:25:04,260 --> 00:25:06,059 need to figure out and I can tell you 712 00:25:06,059 --> 00:25:07,500 the strategy that my wife and I did for 713 00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:09,240 that because everyone's got their own 714 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,900 way of managing their you know their 715 00:25:11,900 --> 00:25:14,220 discretionary spend 716 00:25:14,220 --> 00:25:15,780 um and you can share your story how you 717 00:25:15,780 --> 00:25:17,340 guys figured it out but my iPhone I 718 00:25:17,340 --> 00:25:19,320 actually went went to a park and we 719 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:20,460 printed out three months of bank 720 00:25:20,460 --> 00:25:22,500 statements and we brought a highlighter 721 00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:25,260 and we we brought a pen and we started 722 00:25:25,260 --> 00:25:27,600 to understand how much have we spent in 723 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,700 the last three months on going out 724 00:25:29,700 --> 00:25:32,700 whether it's you know birthday party or 725 00:25:32,700 --> 00:25:34,860 you know dinner or whatever and then we 726 00:25:34,860 --> 00:25:37,080 just like that was a kind of a wake-up 727 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,760 call right just to see if I well we've 728 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:39,960 actually spent that much in the last 729 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,220 three months and you know averaged it 730 00:25:41,220 --> 00:25:43,740 out per month and then then we've 731 00:25:43,740 --> 00:25:46,080 decided how much can we actually how 732 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,880 much do we want to spend 733 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,760 and then that was the amount that we you 734 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,760 know sort of committed to spend for uh 735 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,520 you know going out together so we had a 736 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,500 joint account for going out 737 00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:00,840 and then we worked out our individual 738 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,580 amount and how much we want to have 739 00:26:02,580 --> 00:26:04,980 every single week uh for ourselves and 740 00:26:04,980 --> 00:26:05,940 to be honest with you it wasn't much 741 00:26:05,940 --> 00:26:08,400 it's like 50 bucks a week it wasn't mine 742 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,679 um we had to adjust it sometimes you 743 00:26:10,679 --> 00:26:11,700 know borrow money from a different 744 00:26:11,700 --> 00:26:13,860 account but then we set up separate bank 745 00:26:13,860 --> 00:26:16,320 accounts so then on payday 746 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,200 money will go to you know the joint 747 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,640 going out account 748 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,880 uh money will go to the grocery account 749 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,919 money will go to our individual spending 750 00:26:25,919 --> 00:26:28,860 account uh and more importantly and this 751 00:26:28,860 --> 00:26:30,419 is what you talked about earlier 752 00:26:30,419 --> 00:26:32,400 I'd we'd have a savings account 753 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,779 and when we stuck to this set budget and 754 00:26:36,779 --> 00:26:39,000 we obviously our main account which is 755 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,380 what we talked about the bills coming 756 00:26:40,380 --> 00:26:41,700 out of that there's always enough money 757 00:26:41,700 --> 00:26:43,260 to cover the bills but everything else 758 00:26:43,260 --> 00:26:45,480 got this dispersed into other accounts 759 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,419 so then we'd watch yep our savings go up 760 00:26:48,419 --> 00:26:51,059 and up so then what happened was 761 00:26:51,059 --> 00:26:53,460 um my wife will get a pay Rise 762 00:26:53,460 --> 00:26:57,539 um and I'd get a pay rise but all that 763 00:26:57,539 --> 00:26:59,580 would change in our budget 764 00:26:59,580 --> 00:27:01,860 is US saving more now because all the 765 00:27:01,860 --> 00:27:03,659 expending is the same 766 00:27:03,659 --> 00:27:05,640 and there's a there's something I read a 767 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,640 while ago saying that wealthy people 768 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,159 um earn more but spend the same whereas 769 00:27:11,159 --> 00:27:14,159 everyone else earns more and spends more 770 00:27:14,159 --> 00:27:16,320 all right and that's that's the Trap 771 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,059 that people fall under they're making 772 00:27:18,059 --> 00:27:19,679 more money but they start living a 773 00:27:19,679 --> 00:27:22,020 lavish lifestyle and then but if you're 774 00:27:22,020 --> 00:27:24,360 saving more as you earn more then you 775 00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:26,640 can buy property uh or you can you know 776 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,620 invest in other other things 777 00:27:28,620 --> 00:27:31,020 yes um it's like keeping up with the 778 00:27:31,020 --> 00:27:33,360 Joneses like uh you have lifestyle creep 779 00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:34,500 that's what they call it you know you 780 00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:37,080 see everyone in in a nice car 781 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,940 um you know and not potentially in a 782 00:27:38,940 --> 00:27:40,559 nice house but like renting a nice house 783 00:27:40,559 --> 00:27:42,059 and you think oh I need that nice car 784 00:27:42,059 --> 00:27:44,520 too and we I am literally about to 785 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,220 upgrade my my car because we need we 786 00:27:47,220 --> 00:27:50,340 have you know children and more room is 787 00:27:50,340 --> 00:27:52,260 required after five years of having kids 788 00:27:52,260 --> 00:27:53,340 so 789 00:27:53,340 --> 00:27:54,960 um definitely looking into a new car but 790 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,520 it's just like it's like that it's like 791 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,559 lifestyle creep yeah um and you really 792 00:27:58,559 --> 00:28:00,480 got to uh watch out for that and it's 793 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,400 actually Robert Kiyosaki actually talks 794 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,140 about this where you pay yourself first 795 00:28:04,140 --> 00:28:06,779 so like if you're working like you know 796 00:28:06,779 --> 00:28:08,580 38 hours a week 797 00:28:08,580 --> 00:28:09,900 um you don't want to just be working to 798 00:28:09,900 --> 00:28:11,340 pay other people you actually want to 799 00:28:11,340 --> 00:28:12,840 pay yourself 800 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,700 um and you know he would famously pay 801 00:28:14,700 --> 00:28:17,400 himself first and then not have enough 802 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,679 money for his bills and then he'd have 803 00:28:19,679 --> 00:28:21,539 to he'd put himself in a position where 804 00:28:21,539 --> 00:28:23,460 he had to work out 805 00:28:23,460 --> 00:28:26,159 how to figure out like to make more 806 00:28:26,159 --> 00:28:29,580 money so you know it's yeah unless he 807 00:28:29,580 --> 00:28:30,720 made more money he wasn't going to be 808 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:31,919 able to pay this bill but the most 809 00:28:31,919 --> 00:28:33,720 important thing was paying himself first 810 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,179 into that savings account no I actually 811 00:28:36,179 --> 00:28:38,279 I've read that book Rich Dad Poor Dad 812 00:28:38,279 --> 00:28:39,419 and 813 00:28:39,419 --> 00:28:41,039 um you know for me the thing that stuck 814 00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:43,020 out was um you know building your your 815 00:28:43,020 --> 00:28:45,299 assets and reducing your liabilities and 816 00:28:45,299 --> 00:28:47,340 building the income producing assets so 817 00:28:47,340 --> 00:28:49,980 not things like cars or your home which 818 00:28:49,980 --> 00:28:51,120 are 819 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,559 um you know the cars are depreciate 820 00:28:52,559 --> 00:28:54,059 asset of course it's not income 821 00:28:54,059 --> 00:28:55,980 generating in your home you know it's 822 00:28:55,980 --> 00:28:57,480 not tax deductible it's not income 823 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,360 generating so um liability because it's 824 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,039 not paying for it unless someone else is 825 00:29:02,039 --> 00:29:03,779 paying for it and paying for itself yeah 826 00:29:03,779 --> 00:29:06,360 correct right it gives you shelter so 827 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,580 that's the benefit but it's costing you 828 00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:10,260 money every single month and if the race 829 00:29:10,260 --> 00:29:11,940 go up that's another cost 830 00:29:11,940 --> 00:29:13,679 um but one thing I wanted to touch on 831 00:29:13,679 --> 00:29:15,900 which also helped me because it's it's a 832 00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:17,640 psychology thing as well right 833 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,419 um and what people don't realize is they 834 00:29:21,419 --> 00:29:24,000 end up spending more than what they when 835 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,399 when they've got access to credit like 836 00:29:26,399 --> 00:29:27,840 credit cards 837 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,140 buy now pay later or even payday loans 838 00:29:31,140 --> 00:29:32,820 if they've gone down that path so they 839 00:29:32,820 --> 00:29:34,860 end up spending more than they earn so 840 00:29:34,860 --> 00:29:36,840 that doing this money management that we 841 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,159 talked about is so that you can spend 842 00:29:38,159 --> 00:29:39,960 less than you earn and invest the 843 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,840 difference or save the difference 844 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:43,799 um 845 00:29:43,799 --> 00:29:46,559 but the way it is uh that I understood 846 00:29:46,559 --> 00:29:49,320 it that helped me was every time you 847 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:50,940 spend on credit 848 00:29:50,940 --> 00:29:52,799 you're actually stealing from your 849 00:29:52,799 --> 00:29:54,120 future self 850 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,000 so say you want to buy a new car right 851 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,000 and you take out a car loan 852 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,980 you got three you know 30 grand 40 Grand 853 00:30:01,980 --> 00:30:03,480 whatever 854 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,000 um that feeling of driving a new car 855 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,299 feels great but it doesn't last it might 856 00:30:09,299 --> 00:30:11,880 last like I don't know a few weeks as 857 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,159 soon as the car gets dirty or you know 858 00:30:14,159 --> 00:30:15,899 the kids vomit on the seat or you know 859 00:30:15,899 --> 00:30:17,580 you put a dog in the back or do whatever 860 00:30:17,580 --> 00:30:19,380 it is it doesn't give you that same 861 00:30:19,380 --> 00:30:22,260 feeling anymore but so your your past 862 00:30:22,260 --> 00:30:24,960 self got to enjoy the feeling of that 863 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,140 brand new car but your future self is 864 00:30:28,140 --> 00:30:30,659 the one paying for it right if you just 865 00:30:30,659 --> 00:30:31,980 help someone like oh now I've got to pay 866 00:30:31,980 --> 00:30:33,059 for this but you're the one that got to 867 00:30:33,059 --> 00:30:34,980 enjoy it not me now it's just a car I'm 868 00:30:34,980 --> 00:30:37,500 just getting from A to B right 869 00:30:37,500 --> 00:30:39,360 um but a car's okay because obviously 870 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:40,740 it's something that you need for the 871 00:30:40,740 --> 00:30:42,179 family and whatnot but I'm just talking 872 00:30:42,179 --> 00:30:43,740 about in general like if you bought 873 00:30:43,740 --> 00:30:46,200 yourself a um you know 874 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,000 I don't know what do people buy a Rolex 875 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,100 or something yeah like that just uh just 876 00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:52,679 a flash you know you're getting the 877 00:30:52,679 --> 00:30:54,360 blink to to build up your Instagram 878 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:55,380 account 879 00:30:55,380 --> 00:30:57,539 exactly and it's a an instant 880 00:30:57,539 --> 00:30:59,159 gratification right they feel good then 881 00:30:59,159 --> 00:31:00,960 in the moment but even the Rolex won't 882 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,820 feel that good after a while because you 883 00:31:02,820 --> 00:31:04,140 might scratch it and you don't want to 884 00:31:04,140 --> 00:31:05,760 wear it anymore right because you don't 885 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,200 want to damage it 886 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,659 um so so then but if you flip it on it's 887 00:31:09,659 --> 00:31:11,399 if you flip on its head and say you know 888 00:31:11,399 --> 00:31:13,260 what I do want a Rolex it's important to 889 00:31:13,260 --> 00:31:13,919 me 890 00:31:13,919 --> 00:31:16,020 but I'm not going to borrow the money to 891 00:31:16,020 --> 00:31:18,179 get it I'm Gonna Save for it so you 892 00:31:18,179 --> 00:31:19,620 manage your money the same way we talked 893 00:31:19,620 --> 00:31:21,720 about and then you start putting away 894 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,880 money every week and you can set up a 895 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,200 bank account like the good thing about 896 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,299 Australia is bank accounts are free you 897 00:31:27,299 --> 00:31:28,440 can have multiple accounts they don't 898 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,360 charge you overseas in Europe they 899 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:31,740 charge you monthly fees for every bank 900 00:31:31,740 --> 00:31:33,539 account you've got whereas here you can 901 00:31:33,539 --> 00:31:36,419 have like seven eight sub-accounts with 902 00:31:36,419 --> 00:31:38,880 no fees and you can have one and you can 903 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,559 literally call it a Rolex account if you 904 00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:41,640 wanted to 905 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,679 um relabel it and you can put away even 906 00:31:43,679 --> 00:31:45,779 100 bucks a week or whatever it is that 907 00:31:45,779 --> 00:31:47,880 you can afford to put aside every week 908 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,740 so you get a positive feeling because 909 00:31:49,740 --> 00:31:51,899 you see it grow right and then 910 00:31:51,899 --> 00:31:53,520 eventually you have that 911 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,200 whatever it costs to say it's 10 grand 912 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,940 to buy the watch 913 00:31:56,940 --> 00:31:59,100 um you eventually get the 10 grand and 914 00:31:59,100 --> 00:32:00,960 you go buy it outright 915 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,760 so now you have a positive feeling 916 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,620 throughout the whole process because you 917 00:32:04,620 --> 00:32:06,720 were saving you get the positive feeling 918 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,059 because you just bought it and you saved 919 00:32:09,059 --> 00:32:11,580 it to get it there and you you get to 920 00:32:11,580 --> 00:32:13,320 carry that feeling because you now know 921 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,600 that you worked and you put money aside 922 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,940 to get that watch and you get to wear it 923 00:32:17,940 --> 00:32:19,620 the rest of your life with no debt tied 924 00:32:19,620 --> 00:32:20,700 to it 925 00:32:20,700 --> 00:32:22,620 so you're giving to your future self by 926 00:32:22,620 --> 00:32:24,899 Saving yeah it's awesome what do you 927 00:32:24,899 --> 00:32:25,860 think about 928 00:32:25,860 --> 00:32:28,080 um saving so you're saving for an asset 929 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:29,580 right or you're saving for something 930 00:32:29,580 --> 00:32:31,380 like a watch or a car or something like 931 00:32:31,380 --> 00:32:34,080 that but you keep on saving and saving 932 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,600 this thing but you buy a cash flowing 933 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,020 asset that then you can take out a loan 934 00:32:40,020 --> 00:32:43,559 and then that buys the car and for the 935 00:32:43,559 --> 00:32:46,020 so you have the asset and then you also 936 00:32:46,020 --> 00:32:49,200 have the car and then that actually the 937 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,539 asset pays for itself over time so you 938 00:32:51,539 --> 00:32:53,940 have both of those things and one of 939 00:32:53,940 --> 00:32:55,559 them is obviously producing cash flow 940 00:32:55,559 --> 00:32:58,200 producing potential Capital Growth in 941 00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,460 the future 942 00:32:59,460 --> 00:33:01,200 um obviously the car is not going to do 943 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,580 anything for you except for make you 944 00:33:02,580 --> 00:33:04,320 feel good and get you from A to B it's 945 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,080 going to depreciate over time but that's 946 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,820 a very common way to do it too what do 947 00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:10,440 you think of that way so you're saying 948 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,480 that you get the property first and it 949 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,159 goes up in value and then you buy a car 950 00:33:14,159 --> 00:33:17,279 with the with the no no no so only I'm 951 00:33:17,279 --> 00:33:19,440 only talking about like cash flowing 952 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,240 State like commercial properties so 953 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,760 you're saving and saving and instead of 954 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,500 dumping the money thirty thousand 955 00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:27,840 dollars say you could buy a a have a 956 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,460 deposit for a commercial property for 957 00:33:29,460 --> 00:33:30,779 thirty thousand dollars or say it's a 958 00:33:30,779 --> 00:33:32,580 really expensive car you know so it's 959 00:33:32,580 --> 00:33:34,500 like a three hundred thousand dollar car 960 00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:36,840 like a Lambo or something like that so 961 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,460 you save up that money but instead of 962 00:33:38,460 --> 00:33:42,659 buying a Lambo first you buy a uh a 963 00:33:42,659 --> 00:33:45,000 warehouse and that warehouse is paying 964 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,880 you sixty thousand dollars a year and 965 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,919 then you can take out a car loan because 966 00:33:49,919 --> 00:33:52,080 the car loan is only forty thousand 967 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,760 dollars a year so your net twenty 968 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,919 thousand dollars okay and it's actually 969 00:33:55,919 --> 00:33:57,899 paying the property is paying itself off 970 00:33:57,899 --> 00:34:00,240 and it's paying for you to have that car 971 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,460 as well so you get Best of Both Worlds 972 00:34:02,460 --> 00:34:04,559 yeah yeah and I get yeah no I think 973 00:34:04,559 --> 00:34:06,120 that's a that's an awesome strategy 974 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,320 because 975 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:07,860 um 976 00:34:07,860 --> 00:34:10,379 while it's paying for itself as well 977 00:34:10,379 --> 00:34:13,320 you're getting the uh the growth right 978 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,960 of course you know speculation I 979 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,520 understand that you can't guarantee 980 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:18,960 growth when you're investing in property 981 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,300 but say you did invest in a good area 982 00:34:21,300 --> 00:34:24,060 and if you just look at Stats and and 983 00:34:24,060 --> 00:34:25,800 whatnot in that area and it's grown over 984 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,460 time the longer you hold a property so 985 00:34:28,460 --> 00:34:31,320 you're you're using the bank's money to 986 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,239 get you that asset so whether it's 600 987 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,219 Grand or whatnot so that's just there 988 00:34:35,219 --> 00:34:37,739 going up in value the tenants paying you 989 00:34:37,739 --> 00:34:39,960 the rent that's covering the cost which 990 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,020 is just the mortgage because the 991 00:34:43,020 --> 00:34:45,000 um because they're paying the rent and 992 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,320 they're also paying the outgoings 993 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:47,280 directly 994 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,560 and if there's still enough money that 995 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,859 you can now fund a car as well right so 996 00:34:52,859 --> 00:34:55,020 it's paying the car loan repayment now 997 00:34:55,020 --> 00:34:57,420 all of a sudden you've made 998 00:34:57,420 --> 00:35:00,119 um your your initial contribution or 999 00:35:00,119 --> 00:35:02,099 your initial savings works so much 1000 00:35:02,099 --> 00:35:03,060 harder for you that's what you call 1001 00:35:03,060 --> 00:35:05,280 leverage yeah so you've leveraged other 1002 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,920 people's money to help you build your 1003 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,960 wealth and give you the lifestyle at the 1004 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,420 same time so I think that's yeah if 1005 00:35:12,420 --> 00:35:13,859 anyone can figure out how to do that 1006 00:35:13,859 --> 00:35:16,380 well they've got enough money aside to 1007 00:35:16,380 --> 00:35:17,640 buy an asset that's going to generate 1008 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,880 that much yeah hats off to them 1009 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,640 yeah that's it I mean so I mean the only 1010 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,680 way that you can uh you know guarantee 1011 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,500 Capital Growth is by force appreciation 1012 00:35:28,500 --> 00:35:30,000 on commercial property where you're 1013 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,680 increasing the income so that's really 1014 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,540 the only way and that's that's the thing 1015 00:35:33,540 --> 00:35:35,040 where I never think of like the market 1016 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,440 going to make me uh or like speculating 1017 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,660 on the markets or Capital Growth it's 1018 00:35:39,660 --> 00:35:42,060 how can I force uh income onto this 1019 00:35:42,060 --> 00:35:44,520 property to guarantee the value going up 1020 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,079 so that's kind of how I think about it 1021 00:35:46,079 --> 00:35:47,880 yeah and that's something that you help 1022 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,460 a lot of your your clients with um is to 1023 00:35:50,460 --> 00:35:53,220 yeah look for value-add strategies and I 1024 00:35:53,220 --> 00:35:54,839 think that's important before you buy a 1025 00:35:54,839 --> 00:35:56,700 property or commit to something is to 1026 00:35:56,700 --> 00:35:58,800 know what are the value-add strategies 1027 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,420 that you can Implement as soon as you 1028 00:36:00,420 --> 00:36:04,440 own that so you can already predict 1029 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,680 and you know project your money based on 1030 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,599 that future income and then of course 1031 00:36:09,599 --> 00:36:11,280 like I said you know that that property 1032 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,960 is going to be uh higher value for that 1033 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,240 reason so yeah it's not based on the 1034 00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:16,740 market itself it's just based on the 1035 00:36:16,740 --> 00:36:19,740 rent no speculation there yeah so mate 1036 00:36:19,740 --> 00:36:22,680 in terms of like say you do want to like 1037 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:23,760 buy 1038 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,500 um you know some fast food or you want 1039 00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:28,079 to go out and you know buy a new outfit 1040 00:36:28,079 --> 00:36:30,060 or something like that would you 1041 00:36:30,060 --> 00:36:32,040 recommend potentially drawing that money 1042 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,500 out from the bank like actually drawing 1043 00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:38,280 money out and so you would pay that by 1044 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,500 um with cash so there's no like digital 1045 00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:42,000 record of what you've bought for the 1046 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,119 bank to like scrutinize yeah 1047 00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:46,920 I'd say it probably doesn't make a 1048 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,079 difference because if you if you take 1049 00:36:49,079 --> 00:36:51,300 the money as cash 1050 00:36:51,300 --> 00:36:54,060 um and then go spend it on clothes the 1051 00:36:54,060 --> 00:36:55,980 bank would just see it as an expense 1052 00:36:55,980 --> 00:36:57,599 right and if you just spent it on 1053 00:36:57,599 --> 00:36:58,980 clothes they're just going to see it as 1054 00:36:58,980 --> 00:37:01,140 an expense so it's not like it actually 1055 00:37:01,140 --> 00:37:03,240 lets them see it differently if anything 1056 00:37:03,240 --> 00:37:05,579 if they see too many cash withdrawals 1057 00:37:05,579 --> 00:37:08,040 that might raise a flag because they 1058 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:09,180 don't know what it's been especially if 1059 00:37:09,180 --> 00:37:10,260 it's large amounts if there's a couple 1060 00:37:10,260 --> 00:37:11,520 hundred bucks here and there it's fine 1061 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,560 but if you're taking out you know two 1062 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,900 grand every single paycheck 1063 00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:17,940 and there's no record of how you spend 1064 00:37:17,940 --> 00:37:20,280 your money yeah it's going to raise a 1065 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:21,599 flag if the bank sees that because 1066 00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:23,220 they're gonna not gonna understand how 1067 00:37:23,220 --> 00:37:25,200 do you spend your money another thing I 1068 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,119 didn't touch on is that 1069 00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:30,420 um there's a requirement for Brokers and 1070 00:37:30,420 --> 00:37:33,960 and for banks to report uh you know 1071 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,200 things under the AML act AML CTF so 1072 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,760 anti-money laundering and 1073 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,859 counterterrorism that's something that 1074 00:37:40,859 --> 00:37:42,680 they always look and they've got 1075 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,119 algorithms and you know things that 1076 00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:47,339 actually Check accounts so if it's if 1077 00:37:47,339 --> 00:37:49,800 it's money coming in and money going out 1078 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,200 and being moved to multiple accounts 1079 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,720 um that yeah that's a red flag even for 1080 00:37:54,720 --> 00:37:56,099 me it's broke if I see something like 1081 00:37:56,099 --> 00:37:58,680 that so while we're on the topic of like 1082 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,839 creating like a bit of a history of like 1083 00:38:00,839 --> 00:38:03,660 actually using career would is it ever a 1084 00:38:03,660 --> 00:38:07,079 good idea to take out a credit card 1085 00:38:07,079 --> 00:38:09,060 um just to get the credit history up 1086 00:38:09,060 --> 00:38:10,320 even though you're not going to use it 1087 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:11,880 much like if you've never had a credit 1088 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,520 card you never borrowed any money the 1089 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,440 bank like how do they look at you 1090 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,000 differently like how does that change 1091 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,220 like what they want to do because they 1092 00:38:20,220 --> 00:38:21,960 in their eyes you're kind of what have 1093 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,520 you been doing just you know sitting in 1094 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,380 a corner just eating you know Fruit 1095 00:38:25,380 --> 00:38:27,060 Loops or something 1096 00:38:27,060 --> 00:38:28,920 it's funny you say that um not the Fruit 1097 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,599 Loops a bit that is funny but the funny 1098 00:38:30,599 --> 00:38:32,880 thing is about the credit file 1099 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,320 um because probably should have said two 1100 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,520 minute noodles that would have been the 1101 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,560 more realistic you know Fruit Loops I 1102 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:38,820 don't know why it's that but anyway 1103 00:38:38,820 --> 00:38:41,160 that's your favorite breakfast isn't it 1104 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,400 oh I used to have Nutri grain when I was 1105 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,260 a kid that was the bomb but um not 1106 00:38:46,260 --> 00:38:48,599 anymore I actually did have it I tell 1107 00:38:48,599 --> 00:38:50,700 you for the first time in like 15 years 1108 00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:53,460 like it's just like pink sugar at my 1109 00:38:53,460 --> 00:38:55,619 sister's house and we had a big day uh 1110 00:38:55,619 --> 00:38:56,940 in you know swimming in the pool that 1111 00:38:56,940 --> 00:38:58,380 was only that was the only thing to eat 1112 00:38:58,380 --> 00:39:01,619 and uh I did go back to it and it was uh 1113 00:39:01,619 --> 00:39:04,920 you know lethargic 1114 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,300 um nostalgic and probably imagine 1115 00:39:08,300 --> 00:39:11,060 yeah sugar crash 1116 00:39:11,060 --> 00:39:14,520 yeah that's it uh so yes uh back to your 1117 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:15,599 question 1118 00:39:15,599 --> 00:39:17,400 um what was the question again can you 1119 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,380 repeat it yeah so in terms of like 1120 00:39:19,380 --> 00:39:20,760 should you ever take out a credit card 1121 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,680 just to get credit history to better 1122 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,020 your personal lending so there are some 1123 00:39:25,020 --> 00:39:27,240 people who have never taken out any debt 1124 00:39:27,240 --> 00:39:29,700 at all and they get to their late 20s 1125 00:39:29,700 --> 00:39:31,859 and then they realize you know what I've 1126 00:39:31,859 --> 00:39:33,660 saved up some money now I want to 1127 00:39:33,660 --> 00:39:36,420 actually buy a house or a property for 1128 00:39:36,420 --> 00:39:39,240 investment if they've never had a credit 1129 00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:42,720 file then it can flag to the bank and 1130 00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:44,220 they'll ask a question like how is this 1131 00:39:44,220 --> 00:39:45,839 person 28 years old and they don't have 1132 00:39:45,839 --> 00:39:48,300 a credit file yeah it doesn't mean they 1133 00:39:48,300 --> 00:39:50,220 won't approve it it just means that 1134 00:39:50,220 --> 00:39:52,079 we've got to explain it because it's it 1135 00:39:52,079 --> 00:39:53,700 you got no credit score 1136 00:39:53,700 --> 00:39:56,400 and and Australia has moved on to 1137 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,320 um comprehensive credit reporting or 1138 00:39:58,320 --> 00:39:59,820 positive credit reporting they call it 1139 00:39:59,820 --> 00:40:01,800 in America and that's where they give 1140 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,820 you a score based on uh you staying on 1141 00:40:05,820 --> 00:40:08,760 time for your debts so they keep a 1142 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,980 record of that you can actually see your 1143 00:40:10,980 --> 00:40:12,960 your if you're late on any repayments 1144 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,940 whereas before you only used to keep a 1145 00:40:14,940 --> 00:40:16,980 record if you were um you know defaulted 1146 00:40:16,980 --> 00:40:19,800 for example so having a credit file does 1147 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,780 help because you have a credit score and 1148 00:40:21,780 --> 00:40:23,940 if you've got a credit score of over 1149 00:40:23,940 --> 00:40:26,820 800 you're you're pretty much in the in 1150 00:40:26,820 --> 00:40:29,160 the top T of a bar of a borrower if 1151 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,619 you're below 600 there's some negative 1152 00:40:31,619 --> 00:40:34,079 stuff on there uh if you never had a 1153 00:40:34,079 --> 00:40:35,460 file then yeah I don't even know what 1154 00:40:35,460 --> 00:40:37,560 your score will be to start with 1155 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,260 um so what I would say is it doesn't 1156 00:40:40,260 --> 00:40:41,940 have to be a credit card 1157 00:40:41,940 --> 00:40:43,980 um it can be like you know zip money or 1158 00:40:43,980 --> 00:40:45,060 something like that with a thousand 1159 00:40:45,060 --> 00:40:47,220 dollar limit it can even be a phone bill 1160 00:40:47,220 --> 00:40:49,859 like a mobile contract that creates uh 1161 00:40:49,859 --> 00:40:51,960 okay yeah or a utility bill if you move 1162 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,400 out of home something just to create 1163 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,440 your file and as long as you've got a 1164 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:56,880 file then that's okay you don't have to 1165 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,160 take out debt in order for you to um get 1166 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:00,720 that score 1167 00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:02,460 um so that's something to keep in mind 1168 00:41:02,460 --> 00:41:03,660 but 1169 00:41:03,660 --> 00:41:05,700 um where if someone does want to have a 1170 00:41:05,700 --> 00:41:07,500 credit card 1171 00:41:07,500 --> 00:41:09,480 I recommend getting good with money 1172 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,099 first 1173 00:41:11,099 --> 00:41:13,740 um so what I mean by that is we talked 1174 00:41:13,740 --> 00:41:15,420 about managing money 1175 00:41:15,420 --> 00:41:17,820 um if you're if you're borrowing money 1176 00:41:17,820 --> 00:41:19,980 from anywhere because you can't afford 1177 00:41:19,980 --> 00:41:21,599 to cover your expenses between this 1178 00:41:21,599 --> 00:41:23,520 paycheck and the next one a credit card 1179 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,560 is not going to help you with that 1180 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,560 so better not get one but if you're 1181 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,960 always ahead and you've got savings put 1182 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,900 aside a credit card can make it easier 1183 00:41:33,900 --> 00:41:37,200 for you just to um to manage a lot of 1184 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,820 different direct debits and whatever and 1185 00:41:38,820 --> 00:41:40,140 then you can clear that as long as you 1186 00:41:40,140 --> 00:41:42,020 clear the balance in full every month 1187 00:41:42,020 --> 00:41:45,060 and some banks will make you fill out a 1188 00:41:45,060 --> 00:41:46,980 form to do that some will do it through 1189 00:41:46,980 --> 00:41:48,300 their Bank some you have to call up 1190 00:41:48,300 --> 00:41:49,740 because I don't want you to clear it in 1191 00:41:49,740 --> 00:41:50,940 full they want you to carry the balance 1192 00:41:50,940 --> 00:41:52,680 and pay interest rate interest on it 1193 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,000 right 1194 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,460 um so that's when I would say it's worth 1195 00:41:56,460 --> 00:41:59,460 it and in terms of a limit me personally 1196 00:41:59,460 --> 00:42:02,339 I'll just go to the minimum which is six 1197 00:42:02,339 --> 00:42:05,760 grand which gives me reward points 1198 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,800 right whereas some people you know can 1199 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,599 go lower but if it's not giving you 1200 00:42:09,599 --> 00:42:11,099 reward points all it is is just 1201 00:42:11,099 --> 00:42:13,560 temptation to use money you don't have 1202 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,420 because the whale should use it so I 1203 00:42:15,420 --> 00:42:16,800 think reward points is fair enough so 1204 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,720 what's your credit score out of is it 1205 00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:20,520 out of a thousand or something 1206 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,800 uh no I think it goes all the way up to 1207 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,079 like 1200 plus 1208 00:42:25,079 --> 00:42:26,579 um so anyone who's over a thousand has 1209 00:42:26,579 --> 00:42:28,260 got a really good a really good score 1210 00:42:28,260 --> 00:42:30,480 but I really see that so 800 is a good 1211 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,280 score yeah 800 and above and you can go 1212 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,680 to a website there's a couple of them uh 1213 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,260 credit Savvy another one is 1214 00:42:36,260 --> 00:42:39,480 getcreditscore.com and it's free 1215 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,220 um they will probably send you you know 1216 00:42:41,220 --> 00:42:43,260 some marketing emails but you can keep 1217 00:42:43,260 --> 00:42:45,300 track of your score uh you just you know 1218 00:42:45,300 --> 00:42:47,760 it doesn't actually do a credit check so 1219 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:49,400 it's not imprint 1220 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,420 imprinting on your file like you're 1221 00:42:51,420 --> 00:42:54,180 applying for finance it's just a Seeker 1222 00:42:54,180 --> 00:42:56,940 view it's like just you wanting to see 1223 00:42:56,940 --> 00:42:58,260 it and then you can just see what your 1224 00:42:58,260 --> 00:42:59,339 score is 1225 00:42:59,339 --> 00:43:01,020 and that could also help you if you've 1226 00:43:01,020 --> 00:43:02,579 got something bad sometimes people have 1227 00:43:02,579 --> 00:43:04,079 fallen behind or something like years 1228 00:43:04,079 --> 00:43:05,400 ago they moved the dresses and they 1229 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:06,359 don't even realize they've got something 1230 00:43:06,359 --> 00:43:08,460 a negative mark on there by looking at 1231 00:43:08,460 --> 00:43:10,740 your score if it's under 600 then you 1232 00:43:10,740 --> 00:43:12,420 need to get a copy of your report ASAP 1233 00:43:12,420 --> 00:43:15,180 and see what's on there yeah well 1234 00:43:15,180 --> 00:43:16,920 yeah so I guess it's one of those things 1235 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,300 I mean it's unpacking a little bit 1236 00:43:18,300 --> 00:43:20,460 further so it doesn't put any kind of 1237 00:43:20,460 --> 00:43:22,619 like Mark on your record where you can 1238 00:43:22,619 --> 00:43:24,000 see like someone's checked this I mean 1239 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,579 like you know how when you find it if 1240 00:43:26,579 --> 00:43:28,260 you're applying for loans for like 1241 00:43:28,260 --> 00:43:29,400 different things from all different 1242 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,740 people that actually puts like uh a flag 1243 00:43:31,740 --> 00:43:33,960 or some kind of like tick or mark on 1244 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,119 your your account or something yeah so 1245 00:43:36,119 --> 00:43:38,940 if you apply for finance then it's not 1246 00:43:38,940 --> 00:43:41,160 really a problem it doesn't affect your 1247 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,140 score whether you're approved or 1248 00:43:43,140 --> 00:43:46,619 declined right it's only if because they 1249 00:43:46,619 --> 00:43:47,819 don't update it and say this wasn't 1250 00:43:47,819 --> 00:43:49,319 approved right it just showed that 1251 00:43:49,319 --> 00:43:51,359 you've applied it only starts to reduce 1252 00:43:51,359 --> 00:43:53,099 your score if you keep applying 1253 00:43:53,099 --> 00:43:55,020 elsewhere and this is really important 1254 00:43:55,020 --> 00:43:57,240 because some people who come from you 1255 00:43:57,240 --> 00:43:58,800 know migrants that come to Australia and 1256 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,359 in their countries that's how they get 1257 00:44:00,359 --> 00:44:01,920 Finance they go around to different 1258 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:03,900 banks and they try to negotiate their 1259 00:44:03,900 --> 00:44:06,119 rates and then they apply for loans 1260 00:44:06,119 --> 00:44:07,560 because a bank is not going to give you 1261 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,079 an interest rate 1262 00:44:09,079 --> 00:44:11,280 unless you apply so sometimes people 1263 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:12,720 don't realize that by talking to a 1264 00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:15,839 banker or checking for rates online that 1265 00:44:15,839 --> 00:44:18,000 they're actually applying for a loan 1266 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,500 um and that that leaves a mark on their 1267 00:44:19,500 --> 00:44:20,700 credit file and if they do that three 1268 00:44:20,700 --> 00:44:21,900 four times 1269 00:44:21,900 --> 00:44:24,300 um in a week or in a month their score 1270 00:44:24,300 --> 00:44:26,880 is going to drop significantly so it's 1271 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:28,800 important to not apply for loans so 1272 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,480 working with a mortgage broker like 1273 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,240 myself I will actually check your file 1274 00:44:33,240 --> 00:44:35,339 do an assessment on it and I used to 1275 00:44:35,339 --> 00:44:38,520 work for a bank so I used to do credit 1276 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,380 assessments on behalf of the bank so I 1277 00:44:40,380 --> 00:44:41,880 know what they look for that's why I can 1278 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,619 answer all of these questions 1279 00:44:43,619 --> 00:44:45,599 um so I do my assessment first without 1280 00:44:45,599 --> 00:44:48,119 putting any application forward so if I 1281 00:44:48,119 --> 00:44:49,980 need to do a credit check 1282 00:44:49,980 --> 00:44:52,560 it doesn't impact the file like the 1283 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:53,640 credit file like it's an action 1284 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,859 application it's just to see it and then 1285 00:44:55,859 --> 00:44:57,420 I can send a copy to my customers and 1286 00:44:57,420 --> 00:44:59,040 they can have a look at it as well it 1287 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:00,599 doesn't cost them anything but I only 1288 00:45:00,599 --> 00:45:02,280 obviously do it sometimes if it's 1289 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:03,720 required but I don't always do credit 1290 00:45:03,720 --> 00:45:05,099 checks because sometimes you don't need 1291 00:45:05,099 --> 00:45:06,240 to know 1292 00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:08,339 yeah awesome I mean so because there's 1293 00:45:08,339 --> 00:45:10,020 all these like little like websites 1294 00:45:10,020 --> 00:45:12,060 where they say like oh you know 24-hour 1295 00:45:12,060 --> 00:45:14,040 like Finance like you know they'll 1296 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,079 they'll let go in you know 24 hours or 1297 00:45:16,079 --> 00:45:18,240 48 hours and then some of them do say 1298 00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:20,819 does not like put a credit Mark like a 1299 00:45:20,819 --> 00:45:22,980 mark on your credit score is that 1300 00:45:22,980 --> 00:45:24,900 actually true or is that just like to 1301 00:45:24,900 --> 00:45:27,000 trying to hook you in to actually do it 1302 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,400 well I haven't seen specifically what 1303 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:30,780 you're talking about with the ads but if 1304 00:45:30,780 --> 00:45:32,760 you are getting Finance then it is 1305 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,319 leaving an imprint on your credit file 1306 00:45:34,319 --> 00:45:36,780 100 what are you just applying to like 1307 00:45:36,780 --> 00:45:38,579 you'll go through like a questionnaire 1308 00:45:38,579 --> 00:45:41,400 that'll like give you a couple of ads 1309 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:42,720 and liabilities and what you get paid 1310 00:45:42,720 --> 00:45:44,940 and what you want to actually 1311 00:45:44,940 --> 00:45:46,619 um you know what you're trying to get 1312 00:45:46,619 --> 00:45:48,960 how much money you're trying to borrow 1313 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:50,640 um and then they come back to you I'll 1314 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,200 give you a call and tell you yes or no 1315 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:53,880 or what you what assets you have and 1316 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,280 stuff like that if it's if you're 1317 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,980 sharing your usually there's um there 1318 00:45:58,980 --> 00:46:00,839 are a few of them these personal loan 1319 00:46:00,839 --> 00:46:03,300 lenders and and um short-term business 1320 00:46:03,300 --> 00:46:06,960 lenders and they might have a tool 1321 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,240 initially which will do like a quick 1322 00:46:09,240 --> 00:46:11,180 check which may not be an application 1323 00:46:11,180 --> 00:46:15,300 but the next stage to that is for them 1324 00:46:15,300 --> 00:46:18,720 to actually give you uh like um an offer 1325 00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:20,819 they'll actually ask you usually to 1326 00:46:20,819 --> 00:46:23,760 provide bank statements and but they're 1327 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,260 not going to ask for bank statements or 1328 00:46:25,260 --> 00:46:26,640 you download them from your netbank 1329 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,079 they're actually going to ask you to 1330 00:46:28,079 --> 00:46:29,940 plug in your credentials using a tool 1331 00:46:29,940 --> 00:46:31,560 which is similar to open banking but 1332 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,900 it's using another tool 1333 00:46:33,900 --> 00:46:36,540 um and you and that just shares all your 1334 00:46:36,540 --> 00:46:38,339 data to them from that particular bank 1335 00:46:38,339 --> 00:46:39,180 account 1336 00:46:39,180 --> 00:46:42,000 so that is an application in itself and 1337 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,619 that yeah okay but in the in the 1338 00:46:43,619 --> 00:46:45,960 beginning we're just getting a quote 1339 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,880 um it depends on on the lender some of 1340 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:49,619 them will do one application first 1341 00:46:49,619 --> 00:46:51,240 others will just do what's called a 1342 00:46:51,240 --> 00:46:53,160 seeker and you've got to check the fine 1343 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,819 print if it says Secrets or swker 1344 00:46:56,819 --> 00:46:58,800 uh then you know that's not going to 1345 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,500 impact your credit file 1346 00:47:01,500 --> 00:47:03,540 and so with credit card I just want to 1347 00:47:03,540 --> 00:47:04,740 go back to that 1348 00:47:04,740 --> 00:47:07,680 um in terms of like Max limit 1349 00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,660 what would you suggest would be the max 1350 00:47:09,660 --> 00:47:12,599 limit you should have or the minimum you 1351 00:47:12,599 --> 00:47:14,819 can actually get I think it's you got to 1352 00:47:14,819 --> 00:47:17,160 base it on 1353 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,380 one what's the minimum limit for that 1354 00:47:19,380 --> 00:47:20,700 particular card 1355 00:47:20,700 --> 00:47:23,099 so you know you might want an Amex but 1356 00:47:23,099 --> 00:47:25,980 an Amex is uh you know 15 grand 1357 00:47:25,980 --> 00:47:28,079 but if you're wanting to apply for 1358 00:47:28,079 --> 00:47:30,540 finance and buy a property 15 gram will 1359 00:47:30,540 --> 00:47:32,099 actually hinder you in terms of your 1360 00:47:32,099 --> 00:47:34,260 buying capacity so you may need to 1361 00:47:34,260 --> 00:47:36,720 rethink that and get you know another 1362 00:47:36,720 --> 00:47:39,359 credit card from another provider 1363 00:47:39,359 --> 00:47:40,800 um that gives you like a lower limit 1364 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,500 like five or six thousand but I think a 1365 00:47:43,500 --> 00:47:45,660 good rule of thumb would be only have a 1366 00:47:45,660 --> 00:47:47,700 limit that you can clear with one 1367 00:47:47,700 --> 00:47:49,319 month's pay 1368 00:47:49,319 --> 00:47:51,720 yeah so that way you can never get into 1369 00:47:51,720 --> 00:47:53,819 trouble so as soon as you go fifteen 1370 00:47:53,819 --> 00:47:54,780 thousand 1371 00:47:54,780 --> 00:47:57,180 uh in above or something like that then 1372 00:47:57,180 --> 00:47:59,099 and you can't clear it you're going to 1373 00:47:59,099 --> 00:48:01,260 carry you can The Temptations there or 1374 00:48:01,260 --> 00:48:02,760 something can happen where you can 1375 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,260 access more money that you can afford to 1376 00:48:04,260 --> 00:48:05,880 cover and clear and you're gonna be 1377 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,740 paying interest and then you're you know 1378 00:48:07,740 --> 00:48:09,960 in a hole basically trying to get out so 1379 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,319 in terms of like um like so say like 1380 00:48:13,319 --> 00:48:15,720 back a long time ago when I first got 1381 00:48:15,720 --> 00:48:18,420 into the you know property and investing 1382 00:48:18,420 --> 00:48:20,220 and things like that there was a lot of 1383 00:48:20,220 --> 00:48:23,160 talk about um offset accounts 1384 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,380 um so we have our offset accounts we 1385 00:48:25,380 --> 00:48:27,180 have split mortgages 1386 00:48:27,180 --> 00:48:29,640 um and the idea was do you have a credit 1387 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:33,060 card you you pay um your you know your 1388 00:48:33,060 --> 00:48:34,859 wage or your money into your offset 1389 00:48:34,859 --> 00:48:36,119 account because you're offsetting your 1390 00:48:36,119 --> 00:48:38,400 loan and then you pay everything for the 1391 00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:39,920 card and then you clear the credit card 1392 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,660 every single month 1393 00:48:42,660 --> 00:48:44,880 um is that still a good strategy in your 1394 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,579 mind in you know 2023 or does that 1395 00:48:47,579 --> 00:48:49,079 really need to be updated because the 1396 00:48:49,079 --> 00:48:50,520 offset account doesn't really do too 1397 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,260 much yeah 1398 00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:54,780 um I have heard of that strategy it's 1399 00:48:54,780 --> 00:48:56,700 actually being promoted a lot from 1400 00:48:56,700 --> 00:48:58,740 different um it does get promoted a lot 1401 00:48:58,740 --> 00:49:00,540 yeah it does 1402 00:49:00,540 --> 00:49:02,640 um I I personally don't think it's that 1403 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,599 effective because it's too easy to spend 1404 00:49:06,599 --> 00:49:09,180 more than you would normally spend 1405 00:49:09,180 --> 00:49:11,579 so we because it all comes down to 1406 00:49:11,579 --> 00:49:14,040 visibility right we talked about earlier 1407 00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,920 allocating money for certain buckets but 1408 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:18,420 if you have a credit card that you put 1409 00:49:18,420 --> 00:49:19,800 everything on 1410 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,960 you don't really have visibility of how 1411 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,119 much you spend for certain things 1412 00:49:24,119 --> 00:49:25,500 so 1413 00:49:25,500 --> 00:49:27,780 um and you you sort of focus in on 1414 00:49:27,780 --> 00:49:29,579 available funds rather than the balance 1415 00:49:29,579 --> 00:49:32,460 as well so if you've got a fifteen 1416 00:49:32,460 --> 00:49:34,319 thousand dollar card and you've put two 1417 00:49:34,319 --> 00:49:38,099 grand on it right you still see 18 000 1418 00:49:38,099 --> 00:49:40,200 available on netbank 1419 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,720 so in your mind you're like oh 18 Grand 1420 00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:44,640 I haven't spent that much but if imagine 1421 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:48,000 you had a a two and a half Grand limit 1422 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,740 and you look on it says I've only 1423 00:49:49,740 --> 00:49:52,260 got 500 left now all of a sudden you're 1424 00:49:52,260 --> 00:49:54,480 not thinking the same way about spending 1425 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,160 because you're like I'm nearly maxed out 1426 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:57,180 here 1427 00:49:57,180 --> 00:49:59,460 so that's that's that's why I think it 1428 00:49:59,460 --> 00:50:00,900 doesn't work because you end up spending 1429 00:50:00,900 --> 00:50:02,819 more and I think I did read an article 1430 00:50:02,819 --> 00:50:04,740 recently I don't I don't remember where 1431 00:50:04,740 --> 00:50:06,359 it was but it was it was just showing 1432 00:50:06,359 --> 00:50:08,220 the statistics of how much people 1433 00:50:08,220 --> 00:50:10,980 actually end up spending more 1434 00:50:10,980 --> 00:50:13,680 because they have a credit card if they 1435 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,720 didn't they'd actually spend a lot less 1436 00:50:15,720 --> 00:50:18,359 so which makes sense even though they 1437 00:50:18,359 --> 00:50:20,220 think they're managing it well when you 1438 00:50:20,220 --> 00:50:22,920 when you have everything on the card you 1439 00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,420 can't categorize it the same way you 1440 00:50:24,420 --> 00:50:25,980 can't bucket it the same way 1441 00:50:25,980 --> 00:50:29,099 so yeah it makes more sense to to not 1442 00:50:29,099 --> 00:50:30,480 have it for that 1443 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,700 um but an offset account can be 1444 00:50:32,700 --> 00:50:34,260 can be powerful 1445 00:50:34,260 --> 00:50:36,180 um so some people do the the card thing 1446 00:50:36,180 --> 00:50:37,980 for bills and then you know it's 1447 00:50:37,980 --> 00:50:39,480 interest-free money while their money 1448 00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:41,220 sits in the offset and then 1449 00:50:41,220 --> 00:50:43,079 automatically once a month it will 1450 00:50:43,079 --> 00:50:45,480 direct debit from that it's called a 1451 00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,940 sweep they'll clear the the card in full 1452 00:50:47,940 --> 00:50:49,680 and that's gone 1453 00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:51,839 I'd say that's a good strategy just for 1454 00:50:51,839 --> 00:50:53,940 maybe your fixed costs 1455 00:50:53,940 --> 00:50:56,280 so so you know what your bills are right 1456 00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:57,599 everything that's going to come out 1457 00:50:57,599 --> 00:50:59,579 they're fixed if you're if you have that 1458 00:50:59,579 --> 00:51:01,800 coming from your credit card 1459 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,440 um then you know that you're using the 1460 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,020 banks money which is interest-free while 1461 00:51:07,020 --> 00:51:08,819 your money sits in the offset saving you 1462 00:51:08,819 --> 00:51:11,880 on interest but you're not overspending 1463 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,140 because you're just spending what you're 1464 00:51:13,140 --> 00:51:14,940 going to spend anyway right 1465 00:51:14,940 --> 00:51:16,859 you're not using it to go for the you 1466 00:51:16,859 --> 00:51:18,780 know midnight macca's run 1467 00:51:18,780 --> 00:51:22,020 or or whatever it is that you might end 1468 00:51:22,020 --> 00:51:23,339 up you know buying a Rolex or whatever 1469 00:51:23,339 --> 00:51:24,540 you're not going to be tempted because 1470 00:51:24,540 --> 00:51:26,640 you made a decision all your other costs 1471 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,380 your your discretion you're spending or 1472 00:51:28,380 --> 00:51:29,940 your groceries and all that stuff is 1473 00:51:29,940 --> 00:51:32,220 being paid from an actual bank account 1474 00:51:32,220 --> 00:51:34,440 which you set a limit for per week 1475 00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,839 and um and only the bills come out of 1476 00:51:36,839 --> 00:51:38,579 the credit card does that make sense 1477 00:51:38,579 --> 00:51:40,500 yeah definitely I mean because we've 1478 00:51:40,500 --> 00:51:43,500 been doing like this way like for quite 1479 00:51:43,500 --> 00:51:45,720 a while now like you know probably at 1480 00:51:45,720 --> 00:51:47,819 least you know seven five six seven 1481 00:51:47,819 --> 00:51:49,380 years or something like that but I've 1482 00:51:49,380 --> 00:51:51,359 been looking at it I'm like I mean it 1483 00:51:51,359 --> 00:51:52,859 doesn't seem like it's really making 1484 00:51:52,859 --> 00:51:55,260 much of a difference like unless you've 1485 00:51:55,260 --> 00:51:57,300 got you know a really large portion of 1486 00:51:57,300 --> 00:51:59,700 your mortgage um up against that loan to 1487 00:51:59,700 --> 00:52:01,020 offset it 1488 00:52:01,020 --> 00:52:03,359 um it's really you know not doing that 1489 00:52:03,359 --> 00:52:05,240 much so it's true 1490 00:52:05,240 --> 00:52:06,960 we've only got a three and a half 1491 00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,480 thousand dollar limit on our credit card 1492 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,280 um and you know we clear it every month 1493 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,559 and it's you know it never goes close to 1494 00:52:13,559 --> 00:52:15,420 even using that 1495 00:52:15,420 --> 00:52:17,400 um but I just 1496 00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,440 I just know I'm not seeing the value in 1497 00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,420 it anymore and it just annoys me having 1498 00:52:21,420 --> 00:52:22,920 a credit card 1499 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:24,900 um so I might be changing that very very 1500 00:52:24,900 --> 00:52:27,059 shortly I think yeah just doing the 1501 00:52:27,059 --> 00:52:28,619 other thing with timely bills and having 1502 00:52:28,619 --> 00:52:30,420 different accounts for and bucketing 1503 00:52:30,420 --> 00:52:32,099 your funds that way I think that's much 1504 00:52:32,099 --> 00:52:33,900 simpler and not even needing a credit 1505 00:52:33,900 --> 00:52:35,400 card and then you've I think you just 1506 00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,079 feel free and you have full visibility 1507 00:52:37,079 --> 00:52:39,000 of how much you spend that month 1508 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,119 yeah that's it so my obviously it would 1509 00:52:42,119 --> 00:52:44,280 suggest that you should close credit 1510 00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,200 cards when you're applying for finance 1511 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:49,200 like how how long or how far out should 1512 00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,540 you start close credit cards 1513 00:52:51,540 --> 00:52:52,859 um sooner than you know does that have 1514 00:52:52,859 --> 00:52:55,020 any impact yeah it does on anything like 1515 00:52:55,020 --> 00:52:57,480 yeah sooner the better so depending on 1516 00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,040 if you're carrying a balance or not so 1517 00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:00,839 some people actually have credit cards 1518 00:53:00,839 --> 00:53:02,819 that they just have open but they don't 1519 00:53:02,819 --> 00:53:05,099 even use them they're just there they 1520 00:53:05,099 --> 00:53:06,599 might use it occasionally oh I'm going 1521 00:53:06,599 --> 00:53:07,680 to keep that open if I'm traveling 1522 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,680 overseas or whatever but that can reduce 1523 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,900 your buying capacity a lot by having a 1524 00:53:12,900 --> 00:53:14,339 credit card open even if you never use 1525 00:53:14,339 --> 00:53:15,660 it because the bank will always look at 1526 00:53:15,660 --> 00:53:17,400 worst case scenario how much can you 1527 00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,200 spend up to if you wanted to and that's 1528 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,119 the limit so if you if you don't use the 1529 00:53:21,119 --> 00:53:22,079 funds 1530 00:53:22,079 --> 00:53:24,180 close the cut like this doesn't make 1531 00:53:24,180 --> 00:53:26,040 sense and if you can reduce the limit to 1532 00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,200 something the lowest possible do that if 1533 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:29,220 you need to keep it open for whatever 1534 00:53:29,220 --> 00:53:30,000 reason 1535 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,520 so sooner the better if you're carrying 1536 00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:33,720 a balance 1537 00:53:33,720 --> 00:53:36,420 so this is someone who who has at some 1538 00:53:36,420 --> 00:53:38,040 point needed to use the funds and hasn't 1539 00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,079 been able to clear it with one paycheck 1540 00:53:40,079 --> 00:53:42,480 then you need to have 1541 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:46,440 um you know a debt a way to structure 1542 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:47,700 your money so you can pay that debt back 1543 00:53:47,700 --> 00:53:50,640 faster and one way to do that is a 1544 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,160 balance transfer so you you say you got 1545 00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:54,480 one credit card you're paying say 20 1546 00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,059 interest on it and you go to another 1547 00:53:57,059 --> 00:53:59,700 bank and you apply for another credit 1548 00:53:59,700 --> 00:54:02,099 card to pay out that card so it's like a 1549 00:54:02,099 --> 00:54:04,200 consolidation or a refinance but they 1550 00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,420 call it um a balance transfer so then 1551 00:54:06,420 --> 00:54:08,640 that a new card provider will pay out 1552 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:10,859 the old card but they don't enforce that 1553 00:54:10,859 --> 00:54:13,020 you close it that's the problem so this 1554 00:54:13,020 --> 00:54:14,700 is where people fall into a trap and 1555 00:54:14,700 --> 00:54:16,440 I've felt fell for this many years ago 1556 00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,839 so say you've got a five grand card you 1557 00:54:18,839 --> 00:54:20,280 apply for another five grand card that 1558 00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:21,720 one pays that one out now you're going 1559 00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:23,940 to zero percent interest for say 12 1560 00:54:23,940 --> 00:54:25,380 months or two years whatever the offer 1561 00:54:25,380 --> 00:54:26,280 is 1562 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,079 but you don't close the other card so 1563 00:54:28,079 --> 00:54:30,480 now you've got 5 000 available here so 1564 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:31,559 then you're going to spend on that card 1565 00:54:31,559 --> 00:54:32,940 so now all of a sudden you've got 10 1566 00:54:32,940 --> 00:54:35,460 grand worth of debt so that's where it's 1567 00:54:35,460 --> 00:54:37,020 not a good strategy if you don't close 1568 00:54:37,020 --> 00:54:38,040 that card you need to do that 1569 00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:39,960 immediately so as soon as you balance 1570 00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:41,760 transferred close that other card now 1571 00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,099 you've got 5 000 owing zero percent 1572 00:54:44,099 --> 00:54:45,359 interest 1573 00:54:45,359 --> 00:54:47,520 you start hammering that debt down every 1574 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:49,260 time you make a payment it goes all to 1575 00:54:49,260 --> 00:54:51,059 the principal it there's no interest 1576 00:54:51,059 --> 00:54:52,260 anymore because you've balance 1577 00:54:52,260 --> 00:54:54,000 transferred it but if you kept that at 1578 00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,339 18 and then you started making the same 1579 00:54:56,339 --> 00:54:58,440 repayments every week there'll be 1580 00:54:58,440 --> 00:54:59,880 interest as well so it's going to take 1581 00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:01,920 you longer to pay it off yeah definitely 1582 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,280 I mean I mean the only the reason that 1583 00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,339 like I like to have the credit card when 1584 00:55:08,339 --> 00:55:11,280 there's like no balance on it is like 1585 00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,680 the the what if what if I need three and 1586 00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:15,540 a half thousand dollars quickly you know 1587 00:55:15,540 --> 00:55:17,400 you know like a buffer like like an 1588 00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:18,900 emergency 1589 00:55:18,900 --> 00:55:20,280 um but like three and a half thousand 1590 00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,079 dollars is nothing like you know it's 1591 00:55:22,079 --> 00:55:25,319 it's it's even silly to have that anyway 1592 00:55:25,319 --> 00:55:27,119 um but the other like time that we've 1593 00:55:27,119 --> 00:55:29,280 had a reasonably 1594 00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,380 um large I guess it was a credit card 1595 00:55:31,380 --> 00:55:34,500 was we renovated uh a kitchen 1596 00:55:34,500 --> 00:55:36,420 um and it was from Ikea and they were 1597 00:55:36,420 --> 00:55:38,880 like okay well we can spend we you can 1598 00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:40,740 you can take out a fifteen thousand 1599 00:55:40,740 --> 00:55:44,460 dollar credit to pay for this um Ikea 1600 00:55:44,460 --> 00:55:45,300 kitchen 1601 00:55:45,300 --> 00:55:48,180 and you can pay it off if you pay it off 1602 00:55:48,180 --> 00:55:50,339 for three years you pay absolutely no 1603 00:55:50,339 --> 00:55:52,140 interest on it so I'm like all right 1604 00:55:52,140 --> 00:55:53,819 well I'm pretty good with money I'm 1605 00:55:53,819 --> 00:55:55,619 pretty sure if I just pay it off every 1606 00:55:55,619 --> 00:55:56,640 month 1607 00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,559 um we'll be able to pay it off within 1608 00:55:58,559 --> 00:56:00,300 the three years and lo and behold we 1609 00:56:00,300 --> 00:56:01,800 stuck to it and they didn't get a dollar 1610 00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,319 off us of interest and then as soon as 1611 00:56:04,319 --> 00:56:07,140 we paid it off like we are we are 1612 00:56:07,140 --> 00:56:09,119 shutting this credit card down we are 1613 00:56:09,119 --> 00:56:10,440 not having it 1614 00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,140 um and we did it like it was like I 1615 00:56:13,140 --> 00:56:15,359 guess if you're if you're diligent and 1616 00:56:15,359 --> 00:56:16,800 you have the discipline to be able to 1617 00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:18,900 pay it off all the time and we were only 1618 00:56:18,900 --> 00:56:21,300 paying off like probably like three four 1619 00:56:21,300 --> 00:56:23,339 hundred dollars uh off a month and then 1620 00:56:23,339 --> 00:56:25,440 it obviously got less or more and more I 1621 00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,900 can't remember but you just have to be 1622 00:56:27,900 --> 00:56:30,960 diligent with the the plan 1623 00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:32,579 um and it worked out great but I'm sure 1624 00:56:32,579 --> 00:56:35,579 there are lots of people that had the 1625 00:56:35,579 --> 00:56:38,160 same like opportunity through Ikea and I 1626 00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:39,900 think the company was called hum 1627 00:56:39,900 --> 00:56:41,819 possibly 1628 00:56:41,819 --> 00:56:44,940 um that had the had the the offer but 1629 00:56:44,940 --> 00:56:46,680 I'm sure or there are people that have 1630 00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:48,900 it and that that catches them because 1631 00:56:48,900 --> 00:56:51,480 you know it's human nature that you know 1632 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,760 if you can get it now like get it now 1633 00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,319 and you you feel like you've got that 1634 00:56:55,319 --> 00:56:56,940 reward like you said before like it's 1635 00:56:56,940 --> 00:56:59,640 it's costing your future self yeah um 1636 00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:01,740 and it's just it's a big trap for people 1637 00:57:01,740 --> 00:57:03,420 yeah and it actually is costing your 1638 00:57:03,420 --> 00:57:04,980 future so even if you don't pay any 1639 00:57:04,980 --> 00:57:06,599 interest on it and you manage it like 1640 00:57:06,599 --> 00:57:08,760 what you did if you went and applied for 1641 00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:10,980 a loan to buy a property in that time 1642 00:57:10,980 --> 00:57:13,260 it's it's affected you because now 1643 00:57:13,260 --> 00:57:14,880 they're going to look at that loan as a 1644 00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,319 commitment and that's going to reduce 1645 00:57:16,319 --> 00:57:18,300 your buying capacity even if it was 1646 00:57:18,300 --> 00:57:20,099 interest-free 1647 00:57:20,099 --> 00:57:22,859 um so yeah for sure it does I get it and 1648 00:57:22,859 --> 00:57:24,240 it does help but you're right many 1649 00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,880 people have tried that and they get to 1650 00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:28,020 the end and they haven't actually paid 1651 00:57:28,020 --> 00:57:29,339 off the full balance and now they're 1652 00:57:29,339 --> 00:57:30,900 paying a huge amount of interest on it 1653 00:57:30,900 --> 00:57:32,640 this has been gone for years with Harvey 1654 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,380 Norman and all these you know different 1655 00:57:34,380 --> 00:57:36,180 providers yeah 1656 00:57:36,180 --> 00:57:38,160 um GE Money used to do it now it's hum 1657 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:42,240 yeah it's um it is a big trap so uh get 1658 00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,400 away from the instant gratification you 1659 00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:46,319 know think I'm gonna I don't wanna steal 1660 00:57:46,319 --> 00:57:47,640 from my future self I want to actually 1661 00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,819 give to my future self and just wait put 1662 00:57:50,819 --> 00:57:53,099 money aside you know save for it you 1663 00:57:53,099 --> 00:57:56,040 know the the old um layby is actually a 1664 00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,200 good thing because you're wanting to buy 1665 00:57:58,200 --> 00:57:59,339 something and you're putting money away 1666 00:57:59,339 --> 00:58:00,780 but you don't get to walk out with it 1667 00:58:00,780 --> 00:58:03,119 right bye now okay later I mean you walk 1668 00:58:03,119 --> 00:58:04,079 out with them now but you're gonna pay 1669 00:58:04,079 --> 00:58:06,480 it later so I actually like the old 1670 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:08,760 label it's better yeah I see it the old 1671 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,079 lay buyers haven't laid bites something 1672 00:58:10,079 --> 00:58:11,579 for a long time 1673 00:58:11,579 --> 00:58:13,500 that's crazy 1674 00:58:13,500 --> 00:58:15,540 um so I mean are there any other ways 1675 00:58:15,540 --> 00:58:18,000 that you know you would suggest that how 1676 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,220 to like put yourself better in A bank's 1677 00:58:20,220 --> 00:58:21,660 Bank size like what are the other 1678 00:58:21,660 --> 00:58:23,400 suggestions that we have like you know 1679 00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,980 consolidating debt or like what what do 1680 00:58:25,980 --> 00:58:27,839 you have for me consolidating debt 1681 00:58:27,839 --> 00:58:30,599 definitely helps so even hex debt so a 1682 00:58:30,599 --> 00:58:31,920 lot of people carrying hacks and they're 1683 00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:33,420 like well I don't need to pay back my 1684 00:58:33,420 --> 00:58:34,619 hair because I need to pay back when I 1685 00:58:34,619 --> 00:58:36,480 earn a certain income but that actually 1686 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,059 does impact your borrowing quite a lot 1687 00:58:39,059 --> 00:58:43,020 so if you can clear that ASAP or 1688 00:58:43,020 --> 00:58:44,640 consolidate it into one if you've 1689 00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,020 already got a property and you've got 1690 00:58:46,020 --> 00:58:47,940 equity which a lot of people do because 1691 00:58:47,940 --> 00:58:49,920 they bought in the last two or three 1692 00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:51,540 years or before that and they already 1693 00:58:51,540 --> 00:58:53,579 held that property they can borrow at 1694 00:58:53,579 --> 00:58:56,280 say you know five percent interest or a 1695 00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:57,180 little bit less than that episode 1696 00:58:57,180 --> 00:59:00,000 occupied and they can you know clear 1697 00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,500 their credit card and clear the person 1698 00:59:01,500 --> 00:59:03,240 along click the car loan clear the hex 1699 00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:05,780 and have it all Consolidated into one 1700 00:59:05,780 --> 00:59:09,599 they can still pay that portion faster 1701 00:59:09,599 --> 00:59:12,480 so sometimes you know the downfall is 1702 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:13,740 you're going to spread it out over 30 1703 00:59:13,740 --> 00:59:16,440 years compared to say five years on a 1704 00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,200 personal loan or a car loan but if you 1705 00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:21,720 split the loan and sometimes people do 1706 00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:23,940 this who are smart with money so say you 1707 00:59:23,940 --> 00:59:26,700 owe you know 500 Grand on your home loan 1708 00:59:26,700 --> 00:59:28,680 and you're consolidating a hundred 1709 00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:30,780 thousand worth of personal debt 1710 00:59:30,780 --> 00:59:32,760 well you're going to clear all those 1711 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,220 other loans not pay high interest on 1712 00:59:35,220 --> 00:59:36,720 them and you're going to improve your 1713 00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,599 borrowing capacity but now you've got a 1714 00:59:39,599 --> 00:59:41,160 mortgage of you know six hundred 1715 00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,200 thousand so what you do is you keep the 1716 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,420 500 000 as your regular home loan that 1717 00:59:45,420 --> 00:59:47,460 you already owed before and you have a 1718 00:59:47,460 --> 00:59:49,740 second loan a loan split for a hundred 1719 00:59:49,740 --> 00:59:51,960 grand so now you know that 100 Grand 1720 00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:53,880 relates to all your other debts that you 1721 00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,280 Consolidated so when you're making and 1722 00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:58,260 you're managing your money you can start 1723 00:59:58,260 --> 01:00:00,299 to automate and pay back that hundred 1724 01:00:00,299 --> 01:00:02,880 grand as soon as possible so I still pay 1725 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:04,500 the minimum on your 500 Grand because 1726 01:00:04,500 --> 01:00:05,460 you're gonna have to pay that anyway 1727 01:00:05,460 --> 01:00:08,339 right but hammer down that that hundred 1728 01:00:08,339 --> 01:00:09,839 grand loan don't put in your offset pay 1729 01:00:09,839 --> 01:00:11,460 it straight to the loan and another 1730 01:00:11,460 --> 01:00:13,500 thing that helps 1731 01:00:13,500 --> 01:00:16,380 is to ask your employer to do it so 1732 01:00:16,380 --> 01:00:18,540 they've got sophisticated payroll 1733 01:00:18,540 --> 01:00:20,599 systems that you can actually just say 1734 01:00:20,599 --> 01:00:23,940 can you pay this amount to my normal pay 1735 01:00:23,940 --> 01:00:26,160 um bank account but pay this amount into 1736 01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:27,839 this other account so you can give them 1737 01:00:27,839 --> 01:00:29,220 the BSB and account number of that 1738 01:00:29,220 --> 01:00:31,500 consolidated loan and then they'll pay 1739 01:00:31,500 --> 01:00:33,000 that amount straight out of your pay so 1740 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:34,559 you never even see it out of sight out 1741 01:00:34,559 --> 01:00:36,420 of mine and that debt will just get paid 1742 01:00:36,420 --> 01:00:37,980 every single payday right and you start 1743 01:00:37,980 --> 01:00:40,500 living off of what you what's left and 1744 01:00:40,500 --> 01:00:42,299 it'll disappear so 100 Grand you end up 1745 01:00:42,299 --> 01:00:44,040 paying what four and a half percent on 1746 01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,559 100 Grand over five years or however 1747 01:00:46,559 --> 01:00:47,880 long it takes you depending how much you 1748 01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:51,119 can pay to it compared to having taxi 1749 01:00:51,119 --> 01:00:53,579 car loan there paying high rates there 1750 01:00:53,579 --> 01:00:55,319 and then you know ultimately you might 1751 01:00:55,319 --> 01:00:56,880 end up paying 1752 01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:58,920 um you know I don't know the exact 1753 01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:00,660 figures but the amount of Interest you'd 1754 01:01:00,660 --> 01:01:02,700 pay back would be significantly less and 1755 01:01:02,700 --> 01:01:05,160 that saving can now go towards your home 1756 01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:06,720 loan because then that 100 Grand will be 1757 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,040 gone all of a sudden you've just freed 1758 01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,079 up a whole bunch of cash flow and now it 1759 01:01:10,079 --> 01:01:11,099 goes to your home loan you start 1760 01:01:11,099 --> 01:01:13,079 building that up so that's how it's like 1761 01:01:13,079 --> 01:01:15,240 this comp pounding effect the more you 1762 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:16,799 start it you start to get that 1763 01:01:16,799 --> 01:01:18,540 compounding effect and then that can 1764 01:01:18,540 --> 01:01:20,520 help you to build more equity and then 1765 01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:22,799 you know the loans coming down value is 1766 01:01:22,799 --> 01:01:25,079 going up you got more equity and you can 1767 01:01:25,079 --> 01:01:26,640 use that to to buy you know yourself a 1768 01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:27,660 commercial property or an income 1769 01:01:27,660 --> 01:01:30,119 producing asset yeah that's awesome and 1770 01:01:30,119 --> 01:01:31,559 I guess um I don't think people know 1771 01:01:31,559 --> 01:01:34,079 that like a credit card debt or like 1772 01:01:34,079 --> 01:01:36,240 um you know the interest on that is like 1773 01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:39,299 like 18 19 20 like it's it's through the 1774 01:01:39,299 --> 01:01:42,359 roof interest like it's crazy yeah um so 1775 01:01:42,359 --> 01:01:44,819 when you're looking at debt should you 1776 01:01:44,819 --> 01:01:46,920 attack the uh the debt that has the 1777 01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,799 highest interest first yeah for sure and 1778 01:01:49,799 --> 01:01:51,299 that's why I mentioned the consolidation 1779 01:01:51,299 --> 01:01:53,460 or the balance transfer because if there 1780 01:01:53,460 --> 01:01:55,619 is a strategy that you can get that 1781 01:01:55,619 --> 01:01:57,599 highest interest rate to a lower rate 1782 01:01:57,599 --> 01:02:00,240 sooner than later and then pay it down 1783 01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:01,319 then you're going to be paying off the 1784 01:02:01,319 --> 01:02:04,140 principal faster but if you just if you 1785 01:02:04,140 --> 01:02:06,059 can't do that for whatever reason you 1786 01:02:06,059 --> 01:02:08,099 can't get a balance transfer you can't 1787 01:02:08,099 --> 01:02:10,079 consolidate to a lower rate then yes 1788 01:02:10,079 --> 01:02:13,020 just redirect all your extra repayments 1789 01:02:13,020 --> 01:02:16,200 to that highest interest loan first and 1790 01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:18,000 that could also be through through your 1791 01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,520 employer or a dedicated debt repayment 1792 01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:21,839 account right because some of them don't 1793 01:02:21,839 --> 01:02:23,880 accept beers being an account number 1794 01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,400 they only do bpay so then you open up 1795 01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,799 like a debt repayment bank account and 1796 01:02:28,799 --> 01:02:30,059 you automate 1797 01:02:30,059 --> 01:02:32,160 so you set up an automatic transfer for 1798 01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:33,540 a set amount to go every single week 1799 01:02:33,540 --> 01:02:35,460 into that account or every single 1800 01:02:35,460 --> 01:02:37,260 paycheck and then from there you set up 1801 01:02:37,260 --> 01:02:39,480 a bpay or a direct debit and you pay 1802 01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:40,859 that straight to the credit card the 1803 01:02:40,859 --> 01:02:42,480 highest interest rate and that will that 1804 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,400 will disappear I did that you know and 1805 01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:46,500 then once you once the debts are gone 1806 01:02:46,500 --> 01:02:49,859 you keep up that same level of 1807 01:02:49,859 --> 01:02:51,240 um that same amount that you're 1808 01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,099 automating but now you'd redirect it to 1809 01:02:53,099 --> 01:02:54,059 savings 1810 01:02:54,059 --> 01:02:56,960 or you redirect it to um you know 1811 01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:59,040 something that you're saving for 1812 01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,260 specifically where it's a property or 1813 01:03:01,260 --> 01:03:03,839 having a baby or going overseas but at 1814 01:03:03,839 --> 01:03:06,839 least you can you know expedite that and 1815 01:03:06,839 --> 01:03:08,819 then you know when you realize that you 1816 01:03:08,819 --> 01:03:11,040 all your money is now being put to 1817 01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:12,720 savings and you don't have any more debt 1818 01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:14,760 that's the most liberating feeling and 1819 01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:17,460 then the only debt you ever take is 1820 01:03:17,460 --> 01:03:19,200 leverage that where it's income 1821 01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,299 producing and tax deductible then it's 1822 01:03:21,299 --> 01:03:23,460 not bad that it's good debt yeah awesome 1823 01:03:23,460 --> 01:03:25,559 do you do you help your clients like 1824 01:03:25,559 --> 01:03:27,420 look through debt and like figure out 1825 01:03:27,420 --> 01:03:29,400 the best ways to consolidate that yeah 1826 01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:30,960 definitely if there's if there's Equity 1827 01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:32,579 there I always propose the idea to do 1828 01:03:32,579 --> 01:03:34,319 that and if they don't use the credit 1829 01:03:34,319 --> 01:03:35,880 cards I always get them to reduce the 1830 01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:37,260 limits 1831 01:03:37,260 --> 01:03:39,420 um at the end of the day most of my 1832 01:03:39,420 --> 01:03:40,859 customers they want to build a portfolio 1833 01:03:40,859 --> 01:03:42,359 so they need buying capacity and 1834 01:03:42,359 --> 01:03:44,640 borrowing capacity has has been squeezed 1835 01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:46,319 because of interest rate Rises so 1836 01:03:46,319 --> 01:03:48,119 whatever they can do to drop that I'll 1837 01:03:48,119 --> 01:03:49,859 help them to do that yeah so if you're 1838 01:03:49,859 --> 01:03:51,780 up to your eyeballs in in debt and you 1839 01:03:51,780 --> 01:03:54,240 don't know what to do then then Victor 1840 01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:55,740 should be able to help you out give you 1841 01:03:55,740 --> 01:03:57,839 a solid strategy 1842 01:03:57,839 --> 01:03:59,579 um you know have a time frame and you 1843 01:03:59,579 --> 01:04:01,859 know I'm sure he's uh you know it has 1844 01:04:01,859 --> 01:04:04,079 the accountability uh to uh you know 1845 01:04:04,079 --> 01:04:05,700 keep you on the right track so 1846 01:04:05,700 --> 01:04:07,980 definitely uh try that out it definitely 1847 01:04:07,980 --> 01:04:09,599 should be good yeah I just want to say 1848 01:04:09,599 --> 01:04:12,180 one thing is that when 1849 01:04:12,180 --> 01:04:15,240 as a broker it's great that Banks pay me 1850 01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:16,680 for the commission for introducing 1851 01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:18,780 business to them but 1852 01:04:18,780 --> 01:04:20,880 at the in a weird way I'm incentivized 1853 01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:22,380 for people to borrow more because I get 1854 01:04:22,380 --> 01:04:25,440 paid more all right so some Brokers I 1855 01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:26,640 don't know them personally but I know 1856 01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:29,819 they exist they will focus on getting 1857 01:04:29,819 --> 01:04:31,799 people more debt because they get paid 1858 01:04:31,799 --> 01:04:33,180 more right 1859 01:04:33,180 --> 01:04:35,460 but for me it doesn't matter how much 1860 01:04:35,460 --> 01:04:38,099 debt you get what matters to me is that 1861 01:04:38,099 --> 01:04:39,900 you've got the right debt and that 1862 01:04:39,900 --> 01:04:42,180 you're actually paying down the bad debt 1863 01:04:42,180 --> 01:04:44,520 so if you've got lower loan amounts 1864 01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:46,619 doesn't matter if my pay is affected by 1865 01:04:46,619 --> 01:04:48,420 that because I know that I do right by 1866 01:04:48,420 --> 01:04:50,160 you you're going to come back to me 1867 01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:51,299 you're going to refer your friends and 1868 01:04:51,299 --> 01:04:52,740 your family all right you're going to be 1869 01:04:52,740 --> 01:04:54,240 my client for life you know we build a 1870 01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:55,859 long-term relationship because I'm doing 1871 01:04:55,859 --> 01:04:58,079 right by you but that's also how I think 1872 01:04:58,079 --> 01:05:00,900 so I want to help people get to that 1873 01:05:00,900 -->

1876 01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:06,780 to happen they need to get to a point 1877 01:05:06,780 --> 01:05:08,760 where they spend much less than they 1878 01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:10,619 earn and they invest the difference and 1879 01:05:10,619 --> 01:05:13,020 they use the power of Leverage and use 1880 01:05:13,020 --> 01:05:14,460 other people's money to help them grow 1881 01:05:14,460 -->

because of the 1909 01:06:19,020 --> 01:06:20,640 predictability of the income it's going 1910 01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:23,339 to go up long-term tenants and you know 1911 01:06:23,339 --> 01:06:24,480
