KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
‘We saw that there were a lot of problems in the entertainment field especially since lockdown happened and all the income really struggled to come in.’-Austin
‘I think I speak for a lot of actors when I say the thought of something like home ownership seems so off the table because no one’s ever going to give you any kind of mortgage.’-Pierce
‘Lenders really do want to lend but they are very restricted by the people that fund them.’-Austin
‘Obviously, I can’t tell you to work more because every actor in the world wants more work but the more consistent you are the easier it is to show someone how much you earn.’-Austin
‘We try and touch on everything so you know that it’s there. Why not spend that extra bit of money to insure yourselves really well so that if anything happens you’re still spending every month that you thought you were anyway?’-Austin
