We hired that house back down on the morning to Peninsula that we hired when I first did like our investing master class, so we're like, did our investing master class? Wanted like beautiful sets, and one of the most cost effective ways to do that was to hire out an airbnb essentially that we were allowed to film in so that we didn't have to hire like a production studio, which is really expensive. But then also our team all across the country and when we come together to do content weeks or content days, they need accommodation. So I said to the girls, what if we hired a really big, fancy house that's so clever. You all get a bedroom. All the bedrooms have on sweets, so you've got your own rooms and stuff. But we have this big girl house for a week, and it's just it is so much fun, like getting to produce content and have everybody in one place at one time. Like, it's just it's a very good week for me. I was wondering, No, it was not mine, absolutely not. It is currently for sale though Beck and Jess our money. If we pull our money, we still don't have enough for the deposit. Yes, it goes.

Well, when I start off with a follow up from a couple of weeks ago, you might remember I read a money win from someone about Planet Fitness. Oh yaid oh they're not Australian. How annoying they are. I said, I'd go away do some research. We had some queens slide into our dms to confirm that Planet Fitness is in fact a thing here.

I like this.

I like this.

Podcasts actually a two way conversation, Yes slightly. I feel like a lot of podcasts are just like you hear the content, you leave it, No, no, no, the dms are open if we say something on here that's actually open conversations. I love that you listened to this but I actually want your opinion. And when they jump into the DMS and they're like, oh, you know how you're talking about planet fields are you kidding? That's great? This is just a long limited, once a week, I believe.

But Alicia also slid into our DMS and said, apparently in the Newcastle area, Planet Fitness has changed the name to Earth, but they have the same amenities, so maybe look out for few rh like the cafe you are yeah, Earth, but to refresh people's memory, so you pay the ten dollar I think it's ten dollars a week. Is they're more expensive?

This sounds like that.

This sounds like that.

I promise ten dollars a week is the gym. The more they want to give us free memberships to like unlimited spray, it's like I want to test out once a week's bread okay, okay, okay, I guess we had it every single day, Jess, how many times do you need a spray? Tann in a well. This is what I was thinking because I was kind of running the math in my head because it's once a week. I just need a ten once a week.

Totally, it's about five, so it's not about it is five dollars a week for their cheaper version, but that doesn't cover the extra enemities. So it's ten dollars a week for the more expensive they call it Black Card, and that includes your once a week spray tan, use of the hydro massage, use of the Red Life therapy boots, use of the massage.

Chess Is that usd.

Chess Is that usd.

The more expensive and crazy? And the thing I was thinking is I'm no longer like a regular tanning girly. But back in the day when I was doing my weekly tan you'd use about a bottle a month, right, And if you get like an Isle of Paradise or a Santropez that's about forty bucks a bottle. So for the same price that you were spending on tanning, you could just do the spray can and then you've got a due membership for free. In my mind, ye see, if I've gotten back into tanning, I've done the opposite. I feel like on social media there's like an uprising in influencers who are like, I'm not turning anymore, I'm embracing my pale skin, and I love that for them, but right now I don't feel that comfortable in my skin, and the like I'm sorry you can't deny it. When your body is covered in a coat of spray ten, my confidence increases.

I'm sorry. It does something to my ego and at the moment, I need that. Yeah. So I'm just going to roll in ten every week and it's nobody else's business. I'm feeling much better about my body. Thank you for asking, as.

Yes, and we did, and they're so expensive.

So expensive, and I love mine, but I will say I wish someone had told me this. Mine looks like shit now and I've had it for maybe a month.

So expensive, and I love mine, but I will say I wish someone had told me this. Mine looks like shit now and I've had it for maybe a month.

Like I don't even want to talk about it, Jessica, I text you a pho show. Yeah, so my husband bought me my Ara ring for Christmas because and do you know what, I will put the link to this in the show notes of this episode. I purchased an Alley Express, which is like direct from China kind of website. It's legit, It's okay. I purchased a dupe Aora ring. So for those of you following along at home, an Ora ring is like it's like it's got the functionality or a lot of the functionality of an Apple Watch. So it's a health tracker. So in my Ura ring, I can track my steps and my heart rate and my sleep and it's been really helpful. And I purchased it because I used to have an Apple Watch, and then I didn't like looking like a spy kid, so I stopped wearing it. But I did still want to track my health, right, but I couldn't commit to the Aura ring price because by the time you buy it a USD currency conversion, it's about seven hundred and fifty dollars, so it is a very expensive purchase. And when I look at the ring online and in like all of the TikTok videos, I looked at it's quite a chunky ring too, and like, I'm not a chunky jewelry kind of gal, so I wasn't even sure if it would be comfortable to wear. So I ended up buying and like researching, surely it's been duped, like the world is very savvy nowadays. Found it perfect depends on whether you've used Ali Express or not before, but it will cost you anywhere between like seventeen and twenty seven dollars for the basically the same thing. The only thing it doesn't do beck is your temperature. So a lot of people and one of the reasons why my husband then decided to purchase the real quote orring for me was I was in love and still I'm in love with my dupe, my cheap one. Jess Jess had to the cheap one as well. Looks the same. Yeah, it looks great, looks identical, and sadly wears the same. In fact, I think was it like Christmas Day or the day after Christmas. Jess and I were texting, We were like, whoa, we both got orderings, were so excited about it, and then I said, this is really exciting, but low key. Did you expect when you like opened the box and held your orring that it would feel like better quality? And Jess was like, oh my god, yes, because it didn't feel like like better quality than the dupe, like the dupe actually it's the same. In fact, I would say at this point my dupe is in better condition than my aura ring because my aura ring has completely changed color.

Like I don't even want to talk about it, Jessica, I text you a pho show.

So a lot of people and one of the reasons why my husband then decided to purchase the real quote orring for me was I was in love and still I'm in love with my dupe, my cheap one. Jess Jess had to the cheap one as well. Looks the same. Yeah, it looks great, looks identical, and sadly wears the same. In fact, I think was it like Christmas Day or the day after Christmas. Jess and I were texting, We were like, whoa, we both got orderings, were so excited about it, and then I said, this is really exciting, but low key. Did you expect when you like opened the box and held your orring that it would feel like better quality? And Jess was like, oh my god, yes, because it didn't feel like like better quality than the dupe, like the dupe actually it's the same. In fact, I would say at this point my dupe is in better condition than my aura ring because my aura ring has completely changed color.

I see.

I see.

Yes.

Yes.

I just want to say heads up for anyone who's thinking about it, is mine is just so scratch scratched. Typically we're on my non dominant hand, which is what they recommend I take it off if I'm doing like I don't, you know, pick up weights or do dishes with it on, Like I try and.

Look after it.

Look after it.

But even so I've had it for like a month at it looks trashed, which I just thought the chance for was to let people know that because if you're spending I was shocked at truly spending so much money. So much money, I thought it would last longer, so you to do it, And I mean, it probably is going to last, but it just doesn't. It doesn't look as nice as it could. And I think that that's it's an important consideration. And like Jess and I think we're on the same page here.

We upgraded to the Aura, and like that was something that I was like, oh my god, if I could get that for Christmas, like that would be elite. I really wanted to track my temperature because of fertility. Okay, so you can use it, Yeah, you can use it to track your period and use it as in my case at some point I want to get pregnant again, and like that's a really helpful tool to have. But if you don't care about that stuff. I can't see like, and the analytics are obviously deeper on aura, but like, honestly, the Duke, you know when you just like, is it worth It depends on where your values are at, really, but like try the Duke first and then maybe upgrade if you're like, oh I do love this or whatever.

Just like, Carl, I hope you're doing well where yes, can you update us, like, are you're okay? I know that you had your treatment and you're back at work, but like you're doing right? Yeah, looking after you and making sure one hundred percent. And then also side note, sorry financial advisor comes out in my brain. I don't know if you have any insurances inside your superannuation. But if you do have like inside your super couple of insurances, check if you were able to claim on them. So I think a lot of people have this misconception when it comes to like life and income protection and stuff, that you can't claim on it unless you die, and you might actually be able to do what's called a partial draw down, which is where you can claim on your insurance for having a significant health event. So like check, just check, and it might be no, and then like, Okay, no worries. You haven't missed out on anything, but you might be missing out on some cash if you haven't checked. So sorry, financial advisor comes out.

Hi, my issue is about pay rises and job title change. So I work as a product developer for a medium sized fashion brand and our product team consists of my manager who's the head of product, another product developer, and a print coordinator. We used to have a fashion designer. As of that they've fired her. During our either review, we was discussed that we were understaffed and overworked, so we'll be hiring someone new to help us out. Shortly after, the other product developer announced she was pregnant, so our new hire was going to turn into a maternity lived cover due to personal reasons my manager has moved away for six months and we'll be working remotely print corner it has just quit. But don't live in a major city, so it's hard to find someone with the right experience. And now my manager's not in town, she won't be able to train someone new. So what was the team of five has now become a team of two who is just me and my boss who was working remotely. I've now been tasked with handling print work, fashion design, and product development. Last year, we had three full time staff members for these roles, and now it's just me. This is casually mentioned to me in a group setting for framed as an opportunity for me to grow. Last year, I did ask for a pay rise and I was told that growth isn't linear and that my role depends on experience over time. As I don't have KPIs. I suspect asking for another pay rise will mean she'll just say that it's temporary for the next six months and once the other developer comes back, the role will change again. Help me, please, I can send you more in for mo gay.

Last year, we had three full time staff members for these roles, and now it's just me. This is casually mentioned to me in a group setting for framed as an opportunity for me to grow. Last year, I did ask for a pay rise and I was told that growth isn't linear and that my role depends on experience over time. As I don't have KPIs. I suspect asking for another pay rise will mean she'll just say that it's temporary for the next six months and once the other developer comes back, the role will change again. Help me, please, I can send you more in for mo gay.

I Did you say mo gay?

I said okay, okay, mogay does doesn't make sense like even problems.

This sounds really that this this is so annoying. One of my biggest pet peas. Maybe it's not identical to what our listener is talking about, but when companies, either strategically or accidentally or whatever, make the team a little bit less and less, like every year, just subtly and like give each person, pre existing person more responsibilities until they have so little people in their team that they don't have to pay that much. But everyone they're still doing all the work.

That's what I'm trying to say.

That's what I'm trying to say.

And that's that annoys me. But I don't have any advice that Victoria could give.

And that's that annoys me. But I don't have any advice that Victoria could give.

What about advice that you would give.

What about advice that you would give.

I would find a whole different place to work, I would start. Yeah, I would be leaving there as soon as possible.

So Beg's over and out.

So Beg's over and out.

Yeah I am.

Yeah I am.

And I think I just we're not just numbers, were not money makers. We're just where like they't haven't seen that already been there, they haven't like kind of been like, oh wow, we're really putting a lot of pressure on our team already.

Then I.

Then I.

I just think you should leave. I just think you need the stuff from scratch, you need to get out of their asap and maybe that's bad advice.

I just think you should leave. I just think you need the stuff from scratch, you need to get out of their asap and maybe that's bad advice.

No, that's not bad advice. It's advice from a friend. That's true, the advice from a friend, your friend.

No, that's not bad advice. It's advice from a friend. That's true, the advice from a friend, your friend.

I'm your friend exactly, but it could be redeemable. Mmm, Jess, what are your thoughts. Well, you said that it's your Severie has said that it's based on the breadth of your role rather than role.

She was going to go down.

She was going to go down.

Oh that's great to year because the breadth of my role has expanded to include three other people's jobs. So by your definition, I should be earning all of their salaries.

God is so embarrassing. Sorry, carry on.

Just obviously they're not going to do that. But I would argue that you're in quite a position of power like they have lost. Oh yeah, you are in a massive position effect. You probably don't feel that way right now, but you are, my friend. They've lost every staff member but one who is remote.

You'rely and it's your manager.

You'rely and it's your manager.

It's your manager. You're the only one holding down the fort. You've just told me it's very difficult to hire into your job. Everything that you have just said says to me that they can't afford to lose you.

Like, do you know what I mean.

Like, do you know what I mean.

And obviously, if you're not being looked after, as Beck said, get the hell out of there. But I would be sitting down with your manager and saying, hey, I'm doing the jobs of three people. You haven't replaced any of them. I've taken on all of their workload, or we've split it between myself and my manager. However it's worked, list out all the things that you're doing that you weren't doing before and say hey, like, either you compensate me for this, I just can't do it actually, yeah, or I'm getting out of here. Yeah, those are your options.

Yeah, it's so good.

Yeah, it's so good.

It's an interesting conversation to have because I think a lot of us go oh, it can be absorbed and you go, yeah, of course. And I mean in our team, happen. We're a tiny team, so you know, if someone leaves or if you know, let's a good example, someone's on holiday, I'll be like, hey, Jess, can you help out for X, Y Z. And I feel like that's very different. No, no, no, it is very different. But like you'll shift around what you're doing and put a few things off so that in your thirty eight hours of work a week, like you can accommodate a few extra tasks, but if I said, can you please take on Brooklyn George's roles, your current role needs to step back as well, because you're telling me that there's going to be more capabilities that I need to fulfill each and every single week. But at the end of the day, you're actually only paying me for thirty eight hours a week, like you are paying me to be present for those hours. So I would be sitting down and going okay, cool, like I do all of these things, and you've just given me a list of other things you want me to do. Which ones are going to take a cut? Like which ones am I not doing?
