The following podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:09.279
Remember to seek competent tax legal and investment advice that is unique to your personal situation.

00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:33.759
Hey everybody, welcome to the Pink Money Podcast.

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:35.840
I'm your host, Jerry Williams.

00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.439
We talk about all things related to money from a queer perspective.

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:47.759
And you know, recently I created this new series that I've been really surprised by called Single and Struggling.

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:52.240
Then the reason it's surprising to me is because you never know what's going to resonate with people.

00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:58.159
And I've said this before, but we're all on our own journey at some place in our financial life.

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:04.799
And some people are at their very beginning, some people are near the end, and everyone else is way in between, right?

00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:12.159
So, and when you're really talking about some of the things that people don't know, that's okay.

00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.000
I mean, there's things that I don't know.

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:18.079
Like, you know, I I think I talked about this before as well, like crypto.

00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:23.439
I mean, that's just something I am exploring, but that doesn't mean that I know it very well.

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:38.560
And so for me, it's just a little toe on the water and doing my little tests, you know, doing my little dollar cost averaging of one or two dollars a day, but I have like nine different positions, so I'm very diversified, but it's still all crypto.

00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:40.400
Where that goes, I don't know.

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.480
I'm still in the experimental stage, I'll say.

00:01:44.719 --> 00:02:00.560
But anyway, what I'm saying is we're all at some point in our lives, and when we're trying to really get our arms around our financial situation, the beginning, as I've said before too, is the very best place to start.

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:17.919
Now, I talked about this last time, and what I said is you first have to gather everything that you have, you have to bring all your piles together, and then you have to start sorting and you know, organizing them to the degree that everything is right in front of you.

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:25.680
And then you start to open your mail and you gotta take a look at it, and this is the good, the bad, and the ugly, and that's just the reality of it.

00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.840
Because we face reality and then we can do something about it.

00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:40.400
So after we've done our first sorting, then again, we've taken a look at everything, but now we move into what I call financial triage.

00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:45.039
And what I mean by that is we're gonna have to prioritize things.

00:02:45.199 --> 00:03:05.199
And when you take when you think about triage in terms of a medical sense, they develop triage because what they had to do is in like let's say a battlefield, they had to assess people, those that are gonna live but need immediate care, those that are beyond care, and those that fall somewhere in between.

00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:12.800
So you got to get to the most urgent cases first, and that's what we would want to do with our financial life.

00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:22.800
Now, in the case of a real triage, they use different colors, and we can use colors as well, if you want to, not necessary, but you can.

00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:30.080
Like if you want to use some sticky notes, you know, various colors, or you want to buy some construction paper, whatever.

00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:31.280
That's up to you.

00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:37.039
You know, I'm a visual person, but you may not be, and it just depends on you.

00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:48.479
So, what I'm trying to say here is that the urgent things are gonna be red, and the things that I'm most what I'm talking about red, they have to be handled immediately.

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:59.520
We got to do this now, and then we're gonna move into the yellow, again urgent, and then we're gonna move into blue, less urgent, and then everything else falls into black.

00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:08.479
Okay, so we've got just four little piles, or maybe big piles, but we've got our piles, and now we've sorted it out in our triage.

00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.919
So are we ready to start paying these people?

00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:12.560
No.

00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.680
Are we gonna go ahead and start making phone calls?

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:16.319
No.

00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:22.160
And are we ready then to set our financial goals and put a plan in place?

00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.240
No, we're not there yet.

00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.800
And the reason again is because we don't need to put the cart before the horse.

00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:38.319
So we're just trying to still organize things and we don't want to rush into things without a plan because we need to have ourselves organized.

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:44.480
And so the better way to do it is again taking a look at let's say the red pile first.

00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:57.519
So the red pile could contain things like let's say they're ready to snatch your car, let's say you're ready to be kicked out of your place, let's say that you're ready to be sued, and on and on and on.

00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:58.000
Okay.

00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:06.000
These things are people that are knocking at your door and they've got their hand out and saying, now, pay me right now.

00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:10.079
Now that's kind of a scary place to be, and I could I could totally understand that.

00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:18.639
I mean, I've been there myself, you know, where you are, you hate to look at your mail, and then when you do, it's nothing but it's there's no good news there.

00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:19.839
Everything is terrible.

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.079
And that's because we've let things slide.

00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:25.360
We've overlooked things and we've ignored it and we've turned our back.

00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.079
But the reality is there they are.

00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.800
So again, do we want to rush into this?

00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:31.279
No.

00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:33.680
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:34.160
No.

00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:43.759
So what we're gonna do here is we're gonna take a look at these urgent things and we're gonna again structure them in a way that's important to us.

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:49.439
And that means when you think of food, shelter, clothing, right?

00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:56.720
Well, we're gonna go, yes, the thing that's most important right now is keeping a roof over our head.

00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:06.720
So if you're gonna be booted out of your apartment or they're gonna foreclose on your house, that's what we're gonna take care of first because we need to protect our little four walls.

00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:09.439
We need a place to lay our head at night.

00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:15.360
And so we can't res we can't solve our problems when we're so fearful of falling asleep.

00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:16.879
So that's not gonna work.

00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.040
So we need to tackle that first.

00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:27.040
And then the next thing we're gonna tackle is of course, we're gonna look at what I say is important, your transportation.

00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:31.120
So, why do I pull transportation ahead of, let's say, food?

00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.000
It's because, yes, we have to eat, right?

00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:38.319
But we could even eat ramen if we have to, okay?

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:44.399
So we're gonna push that down because that is a variable expense, and we have a lot of control over that.

00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:50.160
Now, I'm not saying you should eat ramen, but I'm saying we could if we had to, right?

00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:54.240
That will sustain us at least for a little while until we get our act together.

00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:56.560
So we're gonna go to transportation.

00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:01.680
And the reason I say that is because we need the means and the methods to get us to work.

00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:03.519
We have to protect our income.

00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.439
That's extremely important.

00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:15.439
If you arrive to work late and you develop a chronic pattern of that, then pretty soon, you know, you're probably not gonna be at your job any longer, right?

00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.120
It just leads to more problems.

00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:23.040
And so we need to make sure that we protect our income, and that's our transportation.

00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:31.600
You may take Ubers or you may take the subway or whatever your method is, but we have to make sure that our transportation is solid, right?

00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.360
We have to make sure that we're not gonna lose our means of getting around.

00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:42.399
Not necessarily the means of getting around to go out and party, but our means of getting to work and creating the income.

00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:50.000
So even if you, let's say you DoorDash or you Uber, et cetera, you know that that vehicle is the main part of that gig.

00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:51.040
You gotta have it, right?

00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:53.040
Can't gotta have it or you can't do it.

00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:59.759
So then what do we do after we protected, you know, our house, our roof over our head, and our transportation?

00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:04.000
Then we're gonna look at the things that we need to keep us in the house comfortable.

00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:15.279
So we look at our utilities, our water, our gas, our, you know, whatever it is, all those utilities that you normally pay on a day in and day out basis, water, all that good stuff, right?

00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:19.279
So we need to make sure that that is uh taken care of as well.

00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:25.199
And then we can move down to other things that are demanding our time and attention.

00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.600
Now, it could be a wide variety of things.

00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:31.279
You know yourself better than I do, and you've got your pile sorted.

00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.600
So we shouldn't have a hundred things in our red pile, okay?

00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.480
We just can't tackle everything all at once.

00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:43.919
We've got to start somewhere, yes, but we can't do everything all at once.

00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:50.320
And so what we're creating here is a systematic plan to attack this pile.

00:08:50.639 --> 00:09:06.159
And once we now figure it out, let's say I got to call the leasing office, I've got to pay them some money behind 30, 60 days on my car payment, and they're ready to shut the lights off and stuff like that.

00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:10.799
So now we've got one, two, and three at least, four, whatever it is.

00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:16.639
We've got them, we organize them and prioritize them in this fashion so we know where to start.

00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.879
Now, again, do we pick up the phone and do we call the rental office?

00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:22.000
No, right?

00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.519
No, because they're gonna say, pay up.

00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:27.039
Are we gonna pay up?

00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:37.279
Yes, but we only have so many dollars, and we can't just use all our dollars on one thing because how's that gonna work, right?

00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.360
Then we end up with no dollars.

00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:46.320
So we have to use our dollars strategically, and again, this is where we map out a plan.

00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:59.039
So we know then that we owe rent or we have to pay our mortgage, and we know that we need to protect our car, and we're behind, we need to get caught up, and we're behind on this and that, and this and that.

00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:11.279
So once we have this, and again, I know this can be very scary, and you're looking at this and your head is racing and you're sweating, but the more that you take control over this, the better it's gonna be.

00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:17.279
Because you have to go into this calmly, and you can't be going into this like a crazy person.

00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:18.720
That's not gonna work.

00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:25.919
And if you need to be calmed down by somebody, then grab your husband, your wife, your best friend, whomever, and take a breather.

00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:28.399
Go for a run, whatever you gotta do.

00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:34.879
So let's just again relax here because when I say this, I truly mean it.

00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:46.879
All these things are temporary, they're not permanent in the sense that these control your life, and they're definitely not worth you putting your life on the line for it.

00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:54.720
So that's never an option, and it's not the case here because there is a way to fix every single problem.

00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:59.440
Every single financial problem is fixable to one degree or another.

00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:04.399
You may not like the solution, okay, but there are solutions to everything.

00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:09.200
So, not to go on and on and belabor that point, but you hopefully understand.

00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:22.240
If you don't, you probably need to seek, you know, some counselor or, you know, some kind of therapist, because there I'm no psychiatrist and I'm no, you know, therapist or anything like that, right?

00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:30.320
So all I know is certain behaviors get in your way, and we need to just address some of these behaviors head on.

00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.639
But anyway, that's a sidebar.

00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:34.080
So let me jump back here.

00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:36.480
So we have our piles, we prioritize them.

00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:40.320
We got our red, yellow, and our blue and black.

00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:52.320
And then we know we've got to protect our four walls, and we got to make sure that we have our transportation secured and we have our utilities, etc., everything that makes life comfortable inside our four walls, all taken care of.

00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.960
So now we're ready to let's say deal with our housing situation.

00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:02.399
So this is where again you need to marshal up all of your dollars, all of them.

00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:03.440
Where are they?

00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:04.960
How many do we have?

00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:06.159
Do we have a thousand?

00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:07.519
Do we have five hundred?

00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:08.879
What do we have?

00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:23.759
And so let's say our rent is I don't know, nine hundred dollars, and maybe you have I don't know, seven hundred dollars, and that's it, until let's say you get paid, and maybe you get paid in I don't know, a week.

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:24.320
Okay.

00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:30.720
So, yes, we could hopefully throw seven hundred dollars at the rent, but we're not going to.

00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:55.200
So, in this case, what we're gonna do is create again a plan, and maybe this is the good time to rope in Chat GPT or whatever AI you use, because we need some help here in creating a structured plan that gives us the main points to hit in a conversation in a way that turns people from no to yes, or at least maybe.

00:12:55.519 --> 00:13:02.399
So let's say that Chat GPT creates a strategy here to tackle our rent.

00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:13.600
So let's say then you've got the main points you need to make, and then you know how much how many dollars you can use to put towards this, and then you can make that phone call.

00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.799
And what we're looking for here is time.

00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:19.679
We're asking for time.

00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:25.519
We need time to get ourselves straightened out and to fix these problems.

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:37.200
And so you never, never, never, never, never want to call anybody in a heated, angry fashion because that is never the answer, and it's not gonna work.

00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.480
All you're gonna do is turn people off and they're not gonna help you.

00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:50.399
You need to have people on your side, and you the best way to get people on your side to be nice to them, be nice to people, and hopefully they'll be nice to you.

00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:58.000
But you also you gotta ask for what you need, and you don't get unless you ask.

00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:00.639
So now we're gonna ask for time.

00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:06.559
So let's say they have given you 48 hours to cough up the money.

00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:19.519
You need to then try to get them to say, I am willing to pay as much as I have right now, which is I can give you X, let's say$400.

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:20.320
Okay.

00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:26.480
I can give you$400, and if you give me a week, I can come up with the rest.

00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:28.480
They may say no, right?

00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.120
They may say you have 48 hours.

00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:34.320
We'll take the$400, but you got to come up with the rest.

00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:38.399
Okay, but then that gives me 48 hours that I can use.

00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:45.360
I can go to grandma, grandpa, I can go to family, I can see what things I have inside my house to sell.

00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:49.759
What kind of things do I have that I can make some immediate money off of?

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:55.039
You know, is there something that somebody wants and they're willing to pay for it today?

00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.759
Maybe, I don't know, you know your stuff.

00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:59.120
Look at what you got.

00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:03.360
Even if it creates heartache for you to get rid of it, do it.

00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.840
Maybe it's like savings bonds.

00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:16.480
Maybe you didn't know that you have some savings bonds and you're talking to your mom or dad, and they say, Yeah, you know, you've grandma, grandpa, whomever, we've had savings bonds set aside for you.

00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.600
We thought you were going to use them for college, but you know, they're still there.

00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:21.600
I guess you could use them if you want.

00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:23.120
You know, there's X there.

00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:24.720
Hallelujah, right?

00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:25.600
Hallelujah.

00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:26.879
There's some found money.

00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:32.080
Maybe it's not for the purpose that it was intended, but it is for the purpose right now.

00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:33.440
So we could do that.

00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:37.759
There's a million different things that can happen here, but hopefully you get the point.

00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:40.320
I don't know the solution to all your problems.

00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:41.600
You do, though.

00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:43.120
You need to figure it out.

00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.159
This is your problem, this is your mess, you figure it out.

00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:53.519
But again, there's a good way to do it and a bad way to do it, and we're trying to do the best we can in the best way possible.

00:15:53.840 --> 00:16:02.080
So now that we've got some time, this is where we go to our transportation, we beg for time, and then we go to the utilities, etc.

00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:03.279
We beg for time.

00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.000
And I say beg, but I'm saying ask, right?

00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:10.720
I'm not saying you sit, oh please, please, please, please, please, please, please don't turn off my lights.

00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:16.000
You say, uh, if you can give me some time, I'll be glad to pay you what I can today.

00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:17.519
Sounds like that character.

00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:19.679
You know, do you remember Wimpy from Popeye?

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:23.120
You know, give me a hamburger today and I'll pay you on Tuesday.

00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:25.200
I think that's what he always used to say.

00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:28.159
Anyway, I'm not trying to be funny here.

00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:36.000
I'm trying to be straight, but you know, you can't be just so serious about this stuff that you can't add a little levity in it because it is kind of funny in a way.

00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:38.080
There are funny things that happen to us all the time.

00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:39.919
God knows things happen to me all the time.

00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:40.960
Crazy things.

00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.679
But anyway, all we're doing here is again, we're attacking the problem.

00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:49.440
We're going from top to bottom, and we've now have a strategy.

00:16:49.519 --> 00:17:01.440
And hopefully, Chat GPT gave you some points that you can use in your conversations that you're gonna have, and you've been given the grace period of some time, and that time is gonna be a relief to you.

00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:11.920
That's gonna feel like weights were taken off your shoulders, and that's gonna be enable you to go to bed at night and go to sleep and sleep all the way through.

00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:21.920
So the ability for you to attack these things and to fix them to a certain degree is just gonna be heaven to you, and that's what you need.

00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:26.079
So, are there other aspects of your financial life that we're gonna attack?

00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:26.640
Yes.

00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:27.680
Yes, we will.

00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:28.960
Are we there today?

00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:30.640
No, no, we're not.

00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:36.799
We don't need to worry about our IRAs and you know, estate planning and all this other kind of stuff.

00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:38.079
We're not there yet.

00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:43.839
We're fixing our immediate problems, and this is our triage, and this is where we're at.

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:49.839
But the one thing I failed to say, and I would think this would be obvious, but let me say it anyway.

00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:52.319
No more spending.

00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.119
Okay, freezer spending, cut it off.

00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.519
There is no more spending happening.

00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:58.400
None.

00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:04.240
You have to just stop it from whatever you're doing that's bleeding you, stop it.

00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:10.000
Put a tourniquet on it and turn it very tight so that it restricts the blood flow.

00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.920
And I'm saying the cash flow from your bank account, stop it.

00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:15.599
Stop it, stop it, stop it.

00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:16.880
No more spending.

00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:18.400
At least not right now.

00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.799
We don't have the luxury of going shopping and doing anything like that, going out to eat.

00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:23.680
Stop that.

00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:25.680
No, no, no, no, no.

00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:34.960
Anyway, I try not to be preachy here, but I'd rather you get the message and it sticks because this is the way that we fix things.

00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:45.839
We're gonna come out the other end and we're gonna be better, and we're gonna be glad, and you're gonna have a new set of skills, and these set of skills you're gonna use over and over and over and over again.

00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:53.119
Not necessarily begging for time, but you the redeployment of our resources in a strategic way.

00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:55.920
This is how we move ourselves from A to B.

00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:57.519
Got it.

00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:04.400
So we already had our first series, I mean our first episode in single and struggling, check that out.

00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:14.160
And that's you know, starting at the very beginning by dumping your bag out and taking a look at everything right in front of you, create your little piles, and now we're in triage.

00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:18.640
And I've given you the triage steps and the colors that you can use if you choose.

00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:21.119
Do it, don't, okay, whatever.

00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:24.880
But now you have at least a basic strategy to tackle these.

00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:34.559
Rope in Chat GPT, that would be my recommendation, because we also do not need to spend hours searching, creating spreadsheets, all this stuff.

00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.279
We don't have that time to lose.

00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:43.200
We use our time strategically as we use our money strategically as well.

00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:45.680
Anyway, this is where we're at.

00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:51.440
And we're gonna, if you listen into my next episode, we'll take this one step further.

00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:56.960
So hopefully that was helpful to you, and I will talk to you next time.
