Speaker 2:Welcome to the Get Ready Money podcast changing the way we think about money. I'm pleased to be joined today by Adna, who is a journalist, communication specialist and founder of your Financial Guide. In this episode, we'll be discussing Adna's insights on how we change the way we think about money and how it relates to your overall lifestyle. Welcome to the Get Ready Money podcast. Thanks for joining us today.
Speaker 3:Tony, thank you very much for having me and happy New Year to the listeners.
Speaker 2:Yeah, thank you and thanks for being here today again. Yeah, thank you and thanks for being here today again.
Speaker 3:So tell us a little bit about yourself. What is your origin story? So my name is Idris Ahni Atanchimik. I'm Mongolian, I'm 32 years old. I am like, as you said, the founder of the your Financial Guide page on Instagram, which is Mongolia's first down-to-earth page talking about personal finance, and I live with my partner at the moment in Scotland. And, yeah, I'm a journalist, communication specialist, translator, and I love talking about money and this is my first podcast, so I'm really excited, thank you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, glad to have you on here. So you know why are you so passionate about talking about money and financial preparedness.
Speaker 3:So if you are talking about money and if you are financially prepared, that means you are just talk, you're passionate about your life, you're passionate about being ready for everything. That means you take control of your life, because money is the tool to make you have a good life, a life that you want good life in, whatever that means for you. And that's why I love talking about it. And I learned that the taboo of not talking about money is actually what stops you from talking about it and make you have less power somehow, make you have less power somehow. So that's why I learned that talking about it educating others educating myself in the meantime is the way.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, well, that's awesome, and you said so many powerful things in there. I think you know. To backtrack to one of the things you said first is that money is a tool, and I think that's important to, uh, for people to realize. I mean, could you go a little bit deeper on that, about how money is a tool, not something of itself?
Speaker 3:so um I. So if money was a potato, we would talk about potato. I would love to talk about potato because I love potatoes. What a fun word too, you know.
Speaker 3:So, for example, now that I have started managing, I have started to understand how to manage my money. I lead my life how I want. I have a calm mornings, I make my coffee however I want, however slow I want, and I live wherever I want and money allows me and do as little or a lot of work as I want, and that's how money allows me to do. It's a tool of power that you have that makes you live your life however you want, and that's why people need to talk about money. That's why people don't have power, especially in Mongolia, marginalized groups and women and older people, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, money is not everything. I think once it reaches a certain point, if you are unhappy, money can't buy you really happiness if you already have money. But if your first needs aren't being met and you are giving your first needs met, you will become happier for sure, because you are not worried about trivial, not trivial important things. But once that is settled down, settled and fixed, you can then think about something else, what you want, where do you want to live. You want where do you want to live or how do you want to live, and yeah, yeah, money is a very important. Money is, I think, as important as education. But if you don't have one another, I think it wouldn't go well, type of thing like that. I think it wouldn't go well.
Speaker 2:Well, I think money is part of an education, you know, and that's. I think that's it is. You know it's tied into so many of these other things that it does have that full impact, as you point out, I you know. You said something in there about how money loves you and I think a lot of us struggle with our relationship with money. Could you go deeper into that, how you can have a positive relationship, because some people do feel like money hates them.
Speaker 3:Could you ask me in a different way? Oh sure, Sure, sure.
Speaker 2:So you said that money loves you, which is a positive thing, and some people, I think, have very negative views of money. That it's something you know hard, that money doesn't like them, you know, and that's does that follow. Is that something you can talk to?
Speaker 3:Yes. So I don't think money is a separate thing, of a separate thing itself. So if you think money doesn't love you, you are probably also thinking you don't deserve good things or you can't live a good life or things like that. So money is, it's not only money, you know. It's the freedom, the good education or like good opportunities. They all love me. I think it's because I love them as much and then I understood that I deserve them, you know.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 3:And so if people are thinking that they don't deserve it, they wouldn't earn, earn, earn these things because they wouldn't. So if they, if they don't think they deserve it, they wouldn't put them up, put themselves up for success.
Speaker 3:They would put themselves up for failure already by thinking that and it's not their wrong that they think like that, because we just grew up like you know, you aren't supposed to get this and that especially women we are told to serve, we are told to shut up about it and just clean the dishes, or something you know, and that's why you have to change your uh mind. Mindset.
Speaker 2:First to and to do something nice, I think, um, then there's a scarcity, um scarcity or mindset where you um we will talk about it later, I'm sure, because scarcity, scarcity, mindset is always talked about in this yeah, yeah, and I think that's something that people struggle with is that they don't feel like they deserve to be successful with money, that it's not for them, that it's for somebody else and that they can't, it's not a possibility for them. So you know that's very powerful that you're pointing out. So you know, let's talk a little bit about you know, your work with launching your financial guide. The first Mongolian page focused on financial life. What was, what was that like?
Speaker 3:just being a trailblazer and doing something just so new and different so it's crazy, uh, to think about it, that even now, talking about how I am the first person, um, people have tried doing this before, but they have. They have done it differently, like talking only about investing. Like you know finance br, you know finance bros there have been finance bros, obviously, but they never gave information that were actually down to earth and actually easily applicable and they there wasn't. They didn't relate to people. They would say to mothers, like if you're just being at home taking care of your baby, you're losing money. Like you know things like that, very things like that Mine is. Or like there are other times, other pages, where they talk about energy and say it's like money comes to me instead of actually giving you tools, have to save or have to track spending. You know, nobody ever talked about it like this.
Speaker 3:And um I um, I did it because I was bored Bored in the sense that I left. I still work in corporate, but I work from home, which is kind of impossible in Mongolia. Everybody went back to office now, so you can't really work from home. So I moved to the countryside in 2023 because I was done with corporate, I had a bad time there and I was working at a place I work now. I'm an editor of Mongolia's English newspaper I think there are only two and then ours is a private and it's ours is a private as well as most often published newspaper. And so I moved to the countryside because I could work from home and I was also doing something else, you know, just translation and things. And for the first time in my life, I had power in my life, how I could design my life, not because of work, but by. So I was first bored because I didn't understand how I was, how I was supposed to live, or if I, how I would like to live. So I, um I was born and then, um, I I always was uh, wanted a page like mine, um, because I could follow international people who I do still, um, but they never gave me um advice that I could easily just like were if this was the clothes and I would wear it. So that never happened. Uh, because, for example, it's kind of almost impossible to invest in mongolia really and like invest, like how, uh, you guys invest and earn money from it as much, except it's like a Bitcoin, which I don't do, and so, or like, nobody talked about what bank to use in Mongolia. Nobody talked about how to increase my incomes or money by doing these things in Mongolian soil.
Speaker 3:So I wanted this kind of page when I was a kid and now I'm 32. That means like 17 years ago I wanted it and I read a bunch of books and finally social media happened and then, like, girls started posting about women, started having important pages that talk about money, like mine, and that helped me. But even after 17 years, I or like 15 years, which is in 2023, I still didn't see this page, while there are so many other pages and influencers in Mongolia, just nobody talked about it. I was like why? And then I was like, well, I'm not a millionaire, you know, but I do have so much information about it.
Speaker 3:Along the way, I developed my own things, own ways to manage money. No tracking spending pages have ever worked for me all these people who have done and then I developed my own because I was like none of this worked for me, type of thing. And then I was thinking like, hey, hey, then why don't I start it? But then there was like imposter syndrome or saying like then you are not a millionaire, I mean, you're not rich. How are you going to convince people that you can talk about money?
Speaker 3:And I was like, but I do have so much information. I'm already much more accomplished. Although I'm not rich and I'm not like financially free, you know, I manage my own time. Isn't time a wealth, you know? Et cetera. So I started it and it was so exciting for me. The reception wasn't like that because I think until like eight or nine months later, not many people followed me like only 200 or 300 people followed me. Uh, and nobody actually understood this much or something. But people are starting to get there and I think it's just the algorithm thing that isn't working out there and reaching the people that needs to reach, and it is slowly reaching now, yeah, and now I have 6,900 something followers, almost all original, but yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2:Well, that's awesome. You know that's a great start and it's so hard. I know so many personal finance people who are involved in money education and it can be really hard to break through the noise and the algorithms and everything else. Reaching 7,000 people is a fantastic accomplishment. I want to watch.
Speaker 2:I mean, you said so many amazing things, but one of the things you pointed out is time is wealth, and you alluded to that earlier is that money allows you to do certain things.
Speaker 2:It allows you to control your time, and I know you've talked a lot about that and I think that comes back to what you said originally about money being a tool is that money allows you to do certain things. I think what's also important and you've talked about this a little bit and I think it'd be great to talk about is how money is different for women, is how money is different for women. You know it's. You know the degree may be greater in Mongolia, but even in the US you know there's a gender pay gap between what men and women earn. You know how much money women have saved aside. I mean, how do you start to talk about that as a woman, to help other women really break through? And, as you point out, that imposter syndrome, because women also feel like well, you know, this may be a man's world. You know, this is the tech bro thing. How do you?
Speaker 2:start to have that conversation to help other women.
Speaker 3:That has been really hard and then I think that's like all that answer full answer to that question is another podcast. Okay, there are so many things to talk about and I want to be right. I don't want to hurt people. I also don't want to talk bad about my country while being critical. So I that I would like to be careful.
Speaker 3:But in Mongolia, something I've noticed is that women would I have talked to wives, wives and who earn all the money and do not have a savings account for herself, because that's a selfish thing and she doesn't have it. And that's just an easy example. But there are even more difficult examples of how women are earning all the money and still don't have power in that house, because that woman does not have a time for herself. That woman is earning the money doing the dishes, cleaning, taking care of the children, bringing the children to the world, etc. Etc. So I've seen a lot of that. But unfortunately there are also another problem with men in Mongolia that is a disadvantage to men and I don't want to get into that here because there are a lot of things to talk about before to answer that.
Speaker 3:But something just I've noticed in women and especially mothers, a lot is that, even in myself is that they don't do what they want. They'd rather do what they're supposed to do, and that's why it's really hard to tell them that, no, you should have savings. No, this money you're earning is supposed to be for you, not necessarily to buy all the 10 shoes you want at the same time. But heck, I'm sorry, you, uh, you deserve this money because you earned it. You're also a person yourself, with the want, with a separate need, with a separate view, etc. Etc. You know. So that has been really hard, and I think I'm trying to lead by example that you can and you should, while still hearing negative noises but that is a common thing, I see, and then it makes me feel bad that it's still like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that's a global thing, and I think you know just to highlight what you said is that women deserve what they earn and to meet their own needs, and I think that's fair to say around the world, you know, as a very basic right, and I think in so many societies is that that does happen. And you know, I know we definitely don't want to go there, but I think that is just from a surface level is that for anybody who feels like they don't deserve it? You do deserve it. Yeah, we all deserve our you know our own success and the fruits of our labor and what we earn, and we can all be happy with what we do. So that's awesome. Well, let's switch gears and get into what I call the get ready money questions, and these are the questions that I ask all my guests, and they're a little bit more rapid fire, but they're more about financial literacy. And the first one is what basic money concept do you wish people knew?
Speaker 3:It's that you should not have only one sources of income. Have different sources of income, even if the other two or three are very little, because it gives you security that you don't rely on only one thing. Just don't rely on one thing ever, in anything. Just always have your eggs in different baskets in all parts of your life. So in that sense, um, just don't. However much you earn from your one job, that doesn't matter. You always need to have a different sources of income. That's my thing that people really need to understand, because people ask me like well, but I earn enough. Okay, that's good, but what if that one goes away? You don't know. Do not put yourself in that situation, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think that's great advice. It's like having a plan B, yeah, or something to fall back on, is you? Know, it's like having a plan B or something to fall back on. Is you know if things change. But if you have, like you said, all your eggs in one basket, and that can imply to investing too, or whatever, you run more risk if something is concentrated in one area and having more than one source of income spreads it out a little bit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like I guess, diversify everything. Just diversify your income, your friends, your work, your passion, your, anything you know, just diversify it as much as possible.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Things change, though it's you know, it gives you multiple ways. So the next question is what is one simple thing people can do each year to set themselves up for financial success?
Speaker 3:I think about this a lot and self-reflect. I think there's not one. So if there's a one thing that I do every year that sets me up for money, success would be keep learning. You know, never to stop like learning, like never to think like, hey, I'm an educator, I'm not. There's not another word that defines me. Well, that's why I use educator, but I feel weird to say that, because I'm not like teach. Well, I am teaching people, but I'm not going to their.
Speaker 3:Uh, I'm, I don't have a school and I'm not a teacher, and you know what I mean. But um, I keep learning. Um, for example, I still don't know that well about taxes, because tax taxing systems are not as complicated in mongolia as in other countries, but there are things to learn about that I'm learning about, about land ownership now, learning more about investing even now, et cetera, et cetera. So, keep learning. If you don't keep learning and be enough with your knowledge, I think it would be a stale situation and that's not good. Like uh, maybe, uh, like uh, maybe. Have a opposite of scarcity mind in your wealth, but have a scarcity mind in your knowledge, thinking that, because isn't that true? Like more you learn, you just learn that you don't know enough or there are more things to learn.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I completely agree. The older I get it's true the less you feel like you know. My expertise is in the world of life insurance and there is still so much that I don't know. And there is still so much that I don't know, and I think I know more than most people, but I like to think so at this point. But you know, there's still so much where I go. Wow, you know, I didn't know that, or I need to double check that. And yeah, to always keep learning is so important because you know there's new things, but I think it helps you to continue to grow as well. So that's, that's just amazing advice, and I think that's advice for people, for everyone. As you talk about, as you know, you feel like, well, maybe I don't deserve this with money, maybe you learned something new that helps you feel more comfortable. So that's yeah, so that's awesome advice. So the next question is what is one habit that people can change when it comes to their money?
Speaker 3:Track spending.
Speaker 2:Nice.
Speaker 3:Track your spending, understand where your money goes, and then, no, I think it would go like this Track your spending, face yourself, understand where your money goes, what happens, just have a little bit of certainty so that you know it's not that scary, you can manage it, you know scary, you can manage it. You know, and it's a. You just have to face yourself because it's. I remember I wasn't tracking my spending or things like that, or I would just completely stop tracking my spending because I spent a lot of much. That just means I didn't want to face myself. So, um, more you track, more you just understand. Once you just understand, once you are tracking your spending, you understand what happens to you so that you understand what to do. I think, of course, you need financial people who is giving you advices, like me? But once you understand your own spending, you can pretty much decide how to change or what to do there, really logically, you know. So I think it's the most important thing that you're supposed to do, and you should.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, I'm in agreement is because if you don't know your numbers, it's hard to make good decisions. You have to know your resources so you know which way to go, where you are in terms of your goals and what you want to achieve. So that's powerful. So the next question is what money myth are you trying to break?
Speaker 3:I'm trying to break a money myth that it's only for rich people. You can earn it, you can manage it. Um, you can do it too. It's just what they told you to believe in. Um, you, yeah, I I think it's a broader aspect of money is for you and you can earn it. Uh, you can do it, you can manage it. You can do pretty much anything in your life if you believe you want to, and then you should or you deserve it, and I think that's what I'm trying to break that money is not for rich people. Money, money is for everybody and it's not easy per se, but it's.
Speaker 2:It is manageable and also, you know, I think, Well and I think it gets back to what you were talking about earlier is, you know, breaking down, you know the taboos and everything that you know, that you, once you start to think about money as a tool, you know nobody's scared of a hammer. You know, and the hammer is a tool, and once you learn how to use that tool, you can master the tool. Now, granted, money may be like your toolbox and you have your tool and your screwdriver and everything else, but once you start to understand how to use the tools and the tools are there for you to use and, if I understand you correctly, with money, you know the different parts of the money world are there for you to use. And once you start doing that, you know that that's powerful advice. So let's get out the time machine for a minute and we'll go back. I think you were talking about 15 years ago. What advice would you give your younger self if you could go back in time knowing what you know now about money?
Speaker 3:I guess I did follow this advice, but I would like to say don't stop if you are afraid, like you know how many times I stopped tracking my spending or just, like um, stopped learning about money because I was afraid. You know, I was like I, I failed, like I failed, and then I just thought, oh, it's so difficult, I'm not gonna learn and I, it's not for me, or things like that and don't stop. Then just take a breather and come back again like uh, eat well, eat, eat good food that night, if you can, and say I'll try tomorrow, you know, or maybe in a few days, but just don't stop. Don't stop trying to learn. Don't stop when it feels like it's difficult.
Speaker 2:You know, yeah Well, and I think you said something important too is that it's okay to take a break and a deep breath to kind of. You know, I think what you're talking about is refueling, resting a little bit and then coming back fresh, instead of just hitting your head against the wall. You know is to take a break, but I think what you're saying is so powerful is, if you hit something that makes you afraid or stops you to rethink it, right is to come back and look at it from a different way.
Speaker 3:Yeah, don't stop for good. Just take a breather, then come back. It doesn't mean just because you don't understand it now doesn't mean you have to stop it for good and you will never understand it. It's just you need to rest, or maybe you need to look at it a different way. You will understand it, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, I think that's powerful Change the way you're thinking about it, which is, of course, the theme of this show is, you know, to constantly look at a different viewpoint and to address it. Because I think that's the thing with money is, it's like anything else. Sometimes there's different ways to solve a problem and the same approach isn't always going to be successful. So taking that breather allows you to think about like okay, well, maybe it's not the problem, it's how I'm approaching the problem, and then you can. Then you can solve it by coming in a different way.
Speaker 3:Maybe society is the problem, and it wasn't you to begin with, it was just a society, and then you just have to be compassionate with yourself, et cetera.
Speaker 2:I love that. I think that's something that we don't talk about is to be gentle with ourselves and to be compassionate with ourselves when it comes to our money, because I think sometimes there's an expectation that we should know how to do this or we failed if we haven't saved enough money, but it's okay. We all have stories about things that we could have done differently with our money and different choices we can make, but that's true of our whole lives.
Speaker 3:I think that's one reason why other people haven't started my page is that those people kept saying that it's wrong that you don't know, like rush. Now you know it's you're losing things if you aren't managing your money, or they did not. They weren't compassionate with people, and I'm learning to be compassionate with myself and also to tell people how to be compassionate with themselves, because you weren't given this tool. Nobody was given this tool, except rich people, and that's why we it's okay, it's difficult, I understand it's difficult, but you will get there. Everybody can. Can you count one to 10? Yes, so then you can. You can manage your money, okay. Just it can seem difficult.
Speaker 2:It will be understood later, you know, just be compassionate with yourself yeah, well, I I think exactly like you said it comes back to the basics, is and I think people tend to forget that too, as they expect like to go from zero to investing in crypto. But there's a lot that goes in between. And, like with any skill, is you know I talk about learning how to play basketball? Is you know you don't go to being an NBA player overnight? I mean, most of us will never be an NBA player, but you do have to learn every one of the basic skills in order to be successful, and with any game or task, you start at the beginning.
Speaker 3:Also be patient with yourself. Not only compassionate because it takes a lot, not only compassionate because it takes a lot. I sometimes feel like money management is kind of like a university word knowledge, because one by one it is a lot, and earlier you start better, but it does take time. You can't be earning like five sources of income by tomorrow just because you started today, but that is in your future if you keep studying and learning.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, it's exactly like you said. There's a lot of different areas to learn and you can't expect to understand and master all of them all the time. So you know, I want to ask you is what is your favorite go-to money resource for yourself, whether it's a podcast, a book, a newsletter, an app, a website? What's that number one thing where you go to learn about money?
Speaker 3:I follow almost every financial people, like people who give it, like me, but the one place I have to mention is the financial diet. Okay, on Instagram, on TikTok, they have a website. They have books. They have a website. They have books. I've um. It's um. It was started by these two women 10 years ago and I have followed, I think, for the last nine years of them and now they don't um publish as much as they used to, but they're all their published videos and news and articles are already there, so you can look at it. It's the financial diet that I yeah that I think that has changed my life. You know, I think that was the only page that wasn't in about Mongolia but still gave me a lot of knowledge about thing, about money. And there are lots of other people that I follow. They are helpful, but the one that was actually the one that I hold close to my heart is the financial diet.
Speaker 2:Well, that's awesome. I appreciate you sharing that. And you know and I've been asking this question of all the guests because I think that's also important for the audience is that, even with the most accomplished people in the money world somebody like you, who you know is becoming your own expert, a thought leader that there's somebody who inspired you and that you learn from, and that, no matter how much you know, there's always somebody else that you can learn from, and that it's learning together that helps us to grow. So, to wrap up, what is your number one tip on changing the way we think about money?
Speaker 3:I think I said it before, but I'm going to say it again you can manage your money. You can manage your money. Anybody can manage their money. If you follow the right steps, if you're compassionate with yourself, if you don't give up Now, if you follow my advices, you can manage your money. It is very manageable. There are a lot of sources you can learn from me being one of them, but I'm only in, I'm only sharing things in mongolian, because there are already so many information in english. Um, and you can manage it, it's okay, you will get there. It seems unbelievable, but you deserve it. I deserve it. Everybody deserves it. Everybody can. If, if you just try, if you just if you are just consistent, compassionate with yourself.
Speaker 2:Well, I think consistent is important. Something else you said there, too, is to not give up. There are going to be days where it seems difficult, and you have to keep going and not be discouraged, because it's not always going to be a straight line of success. It would be great if it was, but that's not how things work.
Speaker 3:It seems difficult that some days for me, and it's kind of weird to talk from a sense of I'm a teacher, I'm teaching you, I know how to. That doesn't make sense and it makes me feel really uncomfortable. But it's just. I have tried these things. I have failed much more and I've learned and I've found these things. You can also use it, you know you. You have other things to teach me. I have this thing to teach you, you know like. But even after all this knowledge and trying, I still have days. I actually have a lot of days. I feel weird about it because I'm a very anxious person. So, but that doesn't mean that did not stop me, thankfully, from giving you information, giving Mongol's information, and I'm very proud of myself for doing that. And people have been telling me how it has been changing the way they think about money and that brings tears to my eyes for how they do.
Speaker 2:Well, that's awesome and I love your philosophy and you know and you know, and it is amazing. I'm glad we were connected by our friend, charlene Kong. You know about the work because you know Charlene's in Switzerland, now originally from China. You know that we're able to connect globally because these things are the same issues for people around the world. You know that we're all talking about money, but that we're not talking about the super specifics, but it's more, as you point out. It's like how do you approach it? How do you believe in yourself, how do you get started that these are the really important tools to financial success, but the rest are tactics?
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly the strategies.

Speaker 2:Yeah, no, that's awesome, and I did forget to ask you where can people find out more about you? I know you have the Instagram page, which is a Mongolian and unfortunately a lot of the audience doesn't read or speak Mongolian. But are you active on LinkedIn or anywhere else?
Speaker 3:I am active on, so my Instagram page is only it's an only talking about finances. But I am very ambitious person. I have a few different careers going on at the same time, so that's why I am active on LinkedIn. By my name, by my full name, atan Chimikidrsehan, I also write a lot about my just personal experiences on either in English or Mongolian, golan, on medium.
