You know, my partner brings so much, whether it's providing with meals and providing other things, it doesn't have to be.

So it's just a rewriting of that whole narrative around what does it mean to have these norms when it comes to our roles financially.

It's a tiny part.

It's such an important part.

I'm not asking for a pay rise because I'm $20 above you.

It's your turn next.

Yeah.

Well, the reason I did that, just to preface it, is because what I realised when everyone was ripping 10K out of super at the beginning of COVID is that people don't know how to find more money.

We know how to tighten our belts, but we don't know how to find more money.

So I've run that a number of times since and every time it's one of my most popular webinars simply because people don't know how to find more money.

It's not a skill that we've been taught.

So some of my favourite tips from that is one that will get rid of your cost of housing.

So if you're stuck on that rent treadmill and feel like you just can't get ahead.

And some of the questions are what am I prepared to suffer for?

But you could house sit.

Yeah.

So for me, that underpins it.

You could house sit or you could pet sit and get rid of your cost of housing, completely get rid of it.

So I have a girlfriend that husband unexpectedly left her December last year.

She's house-sit for the last 12 months and been able to save a phenomenal amount of money because her cost of housing was gone.
