So we did it.

We had spot prizes.

I think we gave away about $30,000 worth of prizes on the night in terms of like goodie bag stuff.

And so in the future, I'd love to make that a more regular thing that I do with,

running events and get to a point where that is also profitable as well yeah and then also I've really started taking investing more seriously and I feel like I'm super late to the party you know like it started when I was 35 everyone says that everyone wishes they started earlier even if they start when they're 16

I know, I know.

I've started Shazzy's for my kids now.

So I'm like, you cannot say that you wish you started earlier because you started when you were born.

But yeah, I've started to try and learn more about that.

I feel like that's probably the way that most non-financial people feel is that it is very overwhelming.

It's kind of like,

It's hard to get your head around, but I've started, you know, easier using Sharesies and I'm just putting some money in there.

And we used to make YouTube videos.

And so I did, my partner and I went traveling with our daughter when she was two and we kind of YouTube the whole thing.

And we did a couple of, you know, programs.

and cons of living in New Zealand and 10 things you should know about New Zealand if you want to move here.

I don't know.

I can't even remember they are now, but we did some videos like that and they still get a lot of views every month.

And so YouTube is one of the only platforms that will keep paying you for views.

I get a little bit of income every month from the views from YouTube.
