I'm good, thank you.

How are you?

Yeah, no, it's been great.

I've never had one before.

I've sort of just like looked at getting one, but never committed.

So yeah, it's really pleasant surprise in the middle of lockdown.

And it's nice.

I was talking to Kate earlier about how you can like track your sleep and I've never seen that before.

And yeah, it's been really cool, especially in lockdown.

Yeah, so I think I started thinking about it at the beginning of our first lockdown, so March last year, because I had just gotten back from six months abroad studying.

So I kind of came back with like $0 in my bank account and was fortunate enough though to be eligible for JobKeeper because I never quit my job in hospitality and I came back and worked a few weeks before we locked down.

So I was sort of like receiving the 750 each week wondering like what should I do with it?

Like I can either put it in my savings account and just like build it back up to what I had before I went overseas.

But then I sort of thought maybe that's gonna take a long time.

Like I'm gonna be here for a very long time.

So yeah I started just looking into shares because I never really knew anything about it.

My dad has kind of always been like a invest in property kind of guy.

But that's also intimidating because you need so much money for a deposit.

So yeah, I started listening to podcasts, read some financial books that you already had.

I did your like starter beginner shares and ETF courses.
