["The Daily Show Theme"]
Hello, everybody.
Welcome to the show.
I didn't turn my mic on. So I just had a full nearly
10 minutes of me talking and doing what I was supposed to do for today's episode. And
the mic was on, it was just not selected. And so it was coming from like my internal
mic on my computer and not the good podcast mic. Do you know when you do that? When you
know, you've done like, you know, an hour's worth of work and then it doesn't save on
goddamn Microsoft Word and then you're just like, fuck. And you just like, I can't, I
don't want to redo this again. I don't want to start. And then you just get like so discouraged.
That's where I'm at. That's where I'm at right now. It's okay. I'm excited to see you. I
was just more excited to see you when I was already
10 minutes in, so I didn't have to repeat myself. But you wouldn't have known unless
I told you. I just want you to know that even the professionals, the people who get paid
the big bucks sometimes don't select their proper microphone. And my poor podcast team
is just like banging their head against a wall. But you know what? That's what happens
sometimes when you leave me alone to record. It's my own fault. It's my fault. I didn't check.
I should have checked. Anyway, I teach women how to be good with money. In fact, the patriarchy
doing it. You know that. This podcast is expensive to produce and clearly expensive because Tori's
wasting her own goddamn time. So the easiest way you can support the show if you like it
is subscribing and sharing it with your friends because it's free for you but expensive for
us. We're going to take your questions today. We're doing an Ask Tori where
I answer your voicemails. And if you want to submit a voicemail for a future show, the
link is down below so you can do that and I can potentially answer your question.
I actually did this recently. I hosted an entire hour of live radio on SiriusXM. I did
this a couple of weeks ago. Oh my God, it was thrilling. It was so thrilling,
but also very scary because I was convinced nobody was going to call in. We had an entire
hour of calls and we didn't even get to all of them. So that was really cool. So this
is a version of that except pre-recorded because again, Tori doesn't know how to use her God
Day microphone.
Okay. First question talking about home ownership and selling a house. Hello, Tori. I am calling because I bought a property in 2020,
not my primary residence. And I am now selling it closing in less than 30 days for roughly
twice what I bought it for. This means that I'm going to have a very large amount of cash coming
my way very soon. And I do not know what to do with it. My only debt
is my current home that I live in and it's not enough money to pay off that
debt. However, I'm wondering if you could advise on how to potentially pay down
that mortgage or loan so that my overall month to month expenses are lower, making it easier
for me to work less hours in the long-term slash short-term.
That's my goal.
I'm going to be having a baby soon and I would love to return to work part-time.
Or if that's not the right direction to go, and maybe I should be looking at other
things that are more beneficial and can turn around in a better way for me. Thank you so much.
I'm compelled to say have a great day. Bye-bye.
Okay. So first of all, congratulations on an investment that literally doubled in your asset.
That's just fucking crazy that we went from a certain rate in 2020 to
now doubled. Okay, so I'm going to take the first part of your question and apply it to
anybody who's listening. We do get this question a lot. It might not be I bought a house and
I'm selling it for double what I paid. It might just be I'm getting extra money and
making more at work and I have a windfall of cash somehow. We've answered the inheritance
question on previous episodes, but maybe that's you. I always say to go with the game plan, the financial game plan. I
have an entire chapter on it in my book. It's chapter three. You can also listen to episode
five of this show for like the TLDR version, but basically it's like, okay, you got some
extra money. First of all, we're going to do that emergency fund. We're going to contribute
and either beef it up a little bit, or if we don't have the emergency fund already, we're going to contribute more to it. So that's the first
thing.
The second thing is if you have credit card debt, we're going to work to pay that off.
We're going to work to eliminate that credit card debt. And then finally, if you don't
have credit card debt and you already have an emergency fund, we're going to invest it
for our own retirement and then work to pay the lower cost debt down things like a mortgage
or student loans.
Normally, that's what I would just tell you. However, you put a helpful wrench in the equation
which is saying, hey, Tori, but I want to go part time, I think, with work and I want
to lower my expenses monthly so that I'm not paying as much. What you need to do though
is check and make sure that you paying off or paying down your mortgage is not just like shaving years
off but actually making the monthly rate cheaper.
So what I mean by this is like, let's say you have a 13 year mortgage and you're able
to get it down to five years.
Well that's great because ultimately you're paying less over the long term, but it doesn't
help you immediately because you're still paying the same amount every month.
Does that make sense?
So I need you to actually make sure and you can just call whoever your mortgage is through
and check and make sure that like, okay, if I contribute money, this is actually going
to lower my monthly cost as opposed to my, you know, years, if not decades long cost.
There's benefit to lowering your decades long cost,
but it doesn't solve the problem that you're presenting me with.
As always, when we're paying off debt, especially with a large amount of cash, please make sure
that your extra money is going to the principal, not the general cost of loan. A principal
as a reminder is the original amount of money you took out. It might just be more advantageous to put all of this money in a high yield savings
account, earn four to five percent on it, and then allow that little bit of extra income,
which it is, it's income, to help support your life and help support your lifestyle.
So those are the kind of two options you need to do some math on and research on is, okay, if I pay down my mortgage, is it actually beneficial month over month?
And is it going to save me more money in lowering my expenses compared to the amount of money
I might be saving with a high yield savings account with that interest?
So again, congrats on a great investment and hopefully that was helpful.
All right, let's take our next question, which is also about selling a house.
Hi, my name is Elise Miller and I have a question about what to do with the money from my house
sale.
I am getting ready to move to Australia for two years, up to four depending on my visa renewal,
and decided to sell my house. I know a lot of people think that's a mistake, but dealing with
all of that from so far away is a challenge. Anyways, because of all the money I have in
my house, I will have a couple of hundreds of thousands of dollars that I don't know
what to do with because I would like to buy a house whenever I come back to the US.
What are some good financial products that I could put my money in?
Is it CDs?
I'm very hesitant to put it into the market because I want to have the money for a house when
I come back. So I'm really hoping that Tori will answer this question for me. Thank you.
Elise, great question. Fucking down under. Nar. Have a great time in Australia. I'm really
jealous. You sound very set on selling the house. I wouldn't necessarily advise you to
sell the house, but if that's something you've already decided, great. I'm not going to try to convince you
otherwise.
Anybody out there who is trying to buy a house, this is really the question she's asking,
is I want to buy a house. I have some money saved. Where should it go? High-yield savings
account or a certificate of deposit? You're 100% right. It is very risky putting it in
the stock market because let's say you want to buy a house in three years and things are
going well for two and a half years, but suddenly six months before you want to buy a house in three years and things are going well for two
and a half years, but suddenly six months before you want to buy that house or have enough money
to buy that house, the stock market underperforms. And that's not ideal. Some people are comfortable
with that level of risk. I am not. On average, it takes the stock market about seven years to
fully recover from something like 2008. So for goals that are
less than seven to 10 years out, high yield savings account certificate of deposit just
depends on the interest rate. Right now, most high yield savings accounts are giving you
like the interest rate CDs are with less restrictions. So that's where I'd pop it into. You can find
our high yield savings account recommendation at herfirsthundredk.com slash tools. It's
just on our website. So yeah, I'd stock it there. I put it in a CD, a certificate of
deposit and just let it ride, baby. Again, congrats on Australia. Congrats on selling
the house. I want to know what you're doing in Australia because I'm nosy. I went to Australia
and New Zealand in 2022 and I was immediately obsessed and I want to go back and I kind
of want to live there. I don't know if you feel that way.
I like, there've been very, I think only like one
or two places that I've ever been in my entire life
where I was like, I do not want to live here.
That is like my toxic, I shouldn't say one or two.
I've been to the Midwest.
Any Midwest listeners, I love you.
I just, I don't, I don't love it there.
I'm not the biggest fan.
So yeah, I think that is one of my toxic traits
as I go places and I'm like, I could, I could live here.
Having only been there for, you know, 10 days,
but that's what I would do.
Hi, Yulet's savings account or CD.
Congrats again.
Nar!
Okay, let's take our third question.
Oh, this one is one I've been waiting for. When Kristen
sent this over, I was like, thank you for the piping hot tea. Kristen just wrote, because
she gives me like little TLDRs so that I can intro it properly because I don't listen to
the voicemails before. I try to give you live reactions as we're going. This is the one-sentence
description Kristen gave me. Quote, partner is mad,
she wants to learn from someone who isn't him.
Parentheses might be a little fiery.
The tea is hot. Let's do it.
Oh my God, I can't wait.
Hi Tori, I hope you're well.
I recently signed up for
your stock market school course coming up in May,
and I'm really excited to learn about investing in
a space that was created by a woman for women.
Before I bought the course, I told my partner, who is a man, that I was interested in signing
up for it to learn about investing.
My partner knows how to pick stocks out just through his own research, I believe, and he
just told me that he could teach me.
I told him I appreciated it,
but I felt like entering a space
that was specifically for women was the right thing for me.
And he shut down a little bit.
And recently we were texting
and the subject came up again.
And it's just a little tough.
I feel like he really wants to be the person to teach me about investing because he has
experience doing it before.
But I really want to learn from a space that is specifically for women.
And I think he doesn't understand that.
So I guess I'm wondering, this may not be a you question.
This may be a question for my social worker.
I don't know. wondering, this may not be a you question, this may be a question for my social worker.
But how can women who are learning how to manage their own money deal with maybe like
their partner who's a man having some pride issues when they don't want to learn from
their husband or their boyfriend how to manage their money and they want to do it independently
or in spaces for women?
Thanks.

So as you might know,
I am going to a wedding in Italy this summer.
It is in the Amalfi Coast.
It is going to be hot.
It is going to be like 90 degrees.
I have to wear pastels.
I don't own pastels.
And curvy girl, so a little hard to fit. So when Hill House reached out to us about sponsoring the podcast, I don't own pastels, and curvy girl,
so a little hard to fit.
So when Hill House reached out to us
about sponsoring the podcast, I was like, yes,
yes, yes, yes, because Hill House Home
invented the viral nap dress.
And you're thinking nap dress,
but the nap dress for the wedding,
oh, it's like flattering and it's comfortable
and they've got like their signature little smocking fit.
It's so great.
So whether you have weddings or a vacation
or you just need something comfortable
to survive the heat in,
Hill House Home makes fun fashion that makes you feel good.
The other cool thing is that they have this like
one signature dress with some other styles too,
but in every single color or pattern
you could possibly want.
So whether I'm vibing with my normal like black vibes
or I'm going pastel for the wedding,
they've got me covered. You can use discount code Tori for 15% off your first purchase at
hillhousethome.com. Wow. I want to do a whole episode just on this question. Okay. Oh, I should
be writing this down. I should be writing my thoughts question. Okay. Oh, I should be writing this down.
I should be writing my thoughts down.
Okay. I'm just going to raw dog it.
Okay. Oh, wow.
Okay. First of all, it is a question for me.
Thank you for coming.
I'm your money mommy therapies and session.
Okay. I'm going to give you the, I like your boyfriend
and I'm going to give you a, he's well-intentioned response.
And then I'm going to give you, I don't like your boyfriend, what the fuck response. Because both of these things
can exist because I don't know you. I don't know your life. I don't know your partner.
If we are doing the, which I think is important because men are impacted by gender roles too.
If we're doing the, we assume positive intent and your partner loves you and this is great, here's what's happening. Men like to be needed. We all like to be needed, but
men I think especially, they like to be needed. And they like to feel like their expertise and their experience is valued.
And again, if we're going really stereotypical gender roles
here, they probably has a little bit of, I want to save her.
Like I want, you know, the knight in shining armor of like,
I can handle it, I can do it, I can help her.
And anytime that somebody thinks they're good at something and offers their partner,
their friend, their family member help and hears no, it's very easy to shut down or to
get defensive and be like, why don't they want to learn from me?
It's not even that like, they take it personally, right?
Michael Jordan, and it took that personally,
but they believe it's a critique of them as people, right?
So if he hasn't done some of the work on himself
in this regard, what's happening is he's going,
why doesn't she trust me, right?
Why doesn't she trust me? Why doesn't she trust me?
I'm her partner.
I know a lot.
Does she think that this random girl that she's never met on TikTok knows more than
me, which by the way, sorry, Bruce, I do.
And he's feeling, I don't know if this is too dramatic, but maybe a little emasculated.
Maybe.
That's totally understandable. I don't
know if I can say I feel the same way. I just understand the feeling, which is like,
my parents actually, I do this with my parents a lot. This is the perfect example, is I know a
lot about food. I am very good at picking restaurants. I'm very good at this. I have
restaurants I love that have really good food. And I will say, you know, my parents are, you know, oh, we're coming
to Seattle. I'm like, okay, great. I'll, you know, and I've picked the restaurant. And
then they asked me a million questions about the restaurant. Like they don't trust me.
They're like, they don't trust my recommendation and they don't trust that I can actually,
you know, I don't know. I don't know what it is. And then they'll get to the restaurant
and then they'll eat the food and they'll look at me
and they'll go, wow, this is actually really good.
Like I didn't know that already.
And let me tell you, it drives me fucking bonkers
because I'm like, yes, I am good at this.
This is something that I like value
that I feel like is part of my identity.
Like I like food, I'm a good cook, I like,
and so I feel weirdly insulted when they don't trust me,
when they don't trust my recommendations.
So that I totally understand.
If we're going really spicy,
what's happening is maybe he doesn't like you
being independent from him. Maybe he doesn't like you being independent from him.
Maybe he doesn't like that you can learn from other people
and that, again, the feeling of needing to be needed
could be pretty, pretty toxic in this way.
But again, I'm not, as much as I think I have some great dating advice,
I'm not a dating podcast.
I'm not out here podcast. I'm not
out here trying to tell you to dump him because I don't think you need to. I do think this
is worth a conversation. If you do have a partner who is open and vulnerable, which
you should, I've just been like, hey, so me wanting to learn from this other person, from
this New York Times was Selling author, million
dollar business owner, podcast host who has a lot of credentials, that seems to make you
feel weird. Can you talk to me more about that and sit down and have an actual conversation
about it?
Sit down and have a conversation on why he feels weird. And if you bring that vulnerability,
I think he will too. And you can better get to the root of what's going on. I will also say to echo,
first of all, I'm so thankful that you are choosing to learn from women and me specifically.
But second, like literally what you're talking about is the very reason her first 100K exists
because I think it is so incredibly powerful and important to learn about something that has been forever gate-kept, forever masculine.
It's so incredibly powerful to have a group of women learning about something together,
full stop, and second, to have them learning about something that is stereotypically only
been left to men and that men only discuss.
Thank you for being part of stock market school. That's literally the whole point of it is to teach you in a very non-jargony, non-finance bro
environment and to be able to not only teach you how to invest, but actually get you investing.
So we appreciate you being there. And I think it might just be, if you're willing and able
to do it, just a reminder and a little bit of
education to him of like, this is why this is important to me. It's not that I
don't trust you. It's not that I don't want your advice. It's that I am really
looking to be on my own journey about how to invest. And I want to learn from
somebody that looks like me and sounds like me and talks like me. And yeah, I
also feel for you.
I feel for you.
I just think that he's having some emotions.
I think again, gender roles fuck men up
just as much as they fuck us up as women,
where yeah, he feels like he needs to provide for you.
He feels like he needs to be the expert.
And you turning him down is not just like, no, I'm good.
It is, I don't trust you. He's taking it personally,
right? I don't trust you. I don't trust your recommendations. So I would just give him a
little grace. He's having a reaction. That's okay. And when you can sit down and talk, just be like,
hey, I value your feelings. I want to talk to you about what's going on. And I want to talk to you
about why this is important to me.
And I think that will help you get to the root of the problem as well as a potential
solution.
I would also bring it to your social worker, but I love that you brought it to me as well.
Cheering you on.
And maybe also, this is a great idea.
This is what I do sometimes.
This is like how we get boys to eat their vegetables. If I want my, um,
cause I am with a man, if I want my partner to do something, if I want him to like listen
to a podcast episode that I think will be really important for him. But I know if I
send it to him, it's going to feel like a sub tweet, which sometimes I do anyway, because
he's usually doesn't feel threatened by that. When we're in the car, I'll just turn it on
and I'll be like, Hey, I heard this podcast I think is really interesting. Start doing that
with financial feminist. Not this episode. Definitely not. Definitely not this episode.
Keep this episode from him. But you know, turn on an episode that you really like in
the car or I wouldn't show him a TikTok because that's going to be too obvious or show him an Instagram,
but maybe have him join stock market school with you. Actually, that's an even better idea.
If you're already in stock market school, which again, thank you, bring him into the conversation.
Be like, hey, I'm on our life coaching session with Tori. That happens every month. Do you want
to come? Maybe you can learn something and we can talk about it, right? Make it like a shared activity, a group activity. So then he does, this is, this is my answer. So that
he does have involvement so that it does feel like, okay, we're learning together. I'm learning
maybe a bit from you and we talk about it, but I'm also learning from Tory.
Hey, there's this workshop coming up that Tory's hosting about retirement accounts and
about taxes and about retire, retirement, early retirement, financial
dependence, retire early, which is all things in stock market school, by the way.
This has turned into a plug for stock market school, but this is literally the reason I
built it is for people like our caller.
Invite him in.
Invite him in, allow it to be a group activity, allow it to be something that actually makes
your relationship stronger and something that is like a good foundation, a good basis for financial conversations so that he does feel included and that you
can learn things together and thus not only better your relationship, but better your
mutual understanding of money. That's my official answer. Okay. Next voice. How do we top that
one? That was a hell of a voicemail. All right. We are going to talk next to a person who
is the beneficiary of
a loved one's IRA.
Hi, Tori. I have been listening to your podcast for the last couple of months now and have
been searching through old episodes, trying to find more information about the IRA and
different types of IRA accounts. But this is a bit of a specific question because it's not my IRA.
So for context, I'm the beneficiary of a loved one's IRA and they passed away, unfortunately,
and I don't know how to go about taking out the money or moving the money to a different account
without triggering high tax events.
I'm not really sure how to approach this. It's a very specific situation, but I'm 23.
I'm a recent graduate, so I have no job yet. I believe that's the lowest tax bracket I could have.
But if you could provide some insight about this, I'd really appreciate it.
I love what you do for women, but love what you do for everybody. That's
just, you know, common folk to become more financially literate. So I appreciate what
you do. Thank you.
Okay. First of all, so sorry for your loss. Second of all, we're hopefully cutting out
the past three minutes where I sat in silence reading, but I do want to highlight that I
had to look this up because this is something
that I haven't experienced and that we don't have a lot of people who experienced it or
at least that call in. So I am on the IRS website and let me tell you, it is fucking
confusing and no wonder our company exists because wow, this is confusing. We're going
to go somewhere else.
Okay. So here's the thing. There are different rules depending on your relationship to this
person, depending on when they died, and depending on if this person had some sort of estate
or trust. So this is actually one of the unique times I would recommend hiring a financial
advisor. I don't recommend it very often. I don't recommend it for 99% of you, but one
of the things I always say is if you have an inheritance and it's maybe a little bit more complicated.
Now you can do this on your own, but again, there's a couple of different things. You
said loved one, not spouse, so I'm going to assume this person isn't your spouse. If you
as the individual inherited this IRA from somebody who isn't your spouse, there are going to be different withdrawal rules depending on the type of beneficiary you are. Hire a
financial advisor. Make sure that they're fiduciaries. Make sure that they're specific
fee based or like charging an hourly rate. They're not charging you like a percentage
of your investments or a percentage. They're not charging you a fee percentage of your investments or a percentage, you know, they're
not charging you a fee every time they invest. This is the time to talk to a financial advisor.
And you don't need to keep working with them after this. But I would hire them to help
you get this set up and to help you figure out because again, I'm looking at all of this
and even I'm confused. Kristen's here. Hello. Oh my gosh. Hi. Did you know I was recording?
Kristen, this one's spicy. This
one's fun. I was right in the middle. We can keep this. Kristin just popped in unexpectedly.
Your girl was recording for eight minutes before she realized that she hadn't selected
the right mic. I'm a professional podcaster. I do this for a living. Uh-huh. It was my
eight minute fuck up. But I was right in the middle of telling this person
whose loved one died, sorry,
is that you actually do need a financial advisor.
I'm reading this Charles Schwab website
and it's already confusing
and I fucking do this for a living.
And I also don't know you, I don't know your life.
I don't know like what parts of this you check
and what parts you don't.
So I would get a financial advisor.
Again, make sure they're a fiduciary,
make sure they're just fiduciary, make sure they're, they're just going to charge you a flat fee and, um, allow this, them to
help you navigate this and feel free to break up with them afterwards. Okay. Team, thank
you as always for being here. We have even more questions that we're going to answer

This episode is brought to you by the Yap Media Podcast Network. I'm Hala Taha, CEO
of the award-winning digital media empire, Yap Media, and host of Yap Young and Profiting
Podcast, a number one entrepreneurship and self-improvement podcast
where you can listen, learn and profit.
On Young and Profiting Podcast,
I interview the brightest minds in the world
and I turn their wisdom into actionable advice
that you can use in your daily life.
Each week we dive into a new topic
like the art of side hustles,
how to level up your influence and persuasion
and goal setting.
I interview A-list guests on Young and Profiting. I've got the best
guests like the world's number one negotiation expert Chris Voss,
shark Damon John, serial entrepreneurs Alex and Leila Hermosy,
and even movie stars like Mackie McConaughey. There's absolutely no fluff on my podcast and
that's on purpose. Every episode is jam packed with advice
that's gonna push your life forward.
I do my research, I get straight to the point,
and I take things really seriously,
which is why I'm known as the podcast princess
and how I became one of the top podcasters in the world
in less than five years.
Young and Profiting Podcast is for all ages.

As long as you wanna learn and level up,
you will be forever young.
