There are communities in New York and everywhere where you will enter and never, you will never see the end to what the keeping up with the Joneses, the keeping up with the, it just becomes a pursuit of something that is unattainable. And so to actually ask yourself, what is success for this little family? Like, not feeling scarcity. Yeah.

having a cushion, then you start to make different decisions if your idea of success is different than whatever culture you're in is telling you it is. I really feel like people are starting to do that. I think the emperor has no clothes of the treadmill of more and more. It's an empty promise that now is feeling empty. And I think these are the questions people are starting to ask.

And it's really cool. People are going to make different decisions.

Yeah, I mean, when you say it, it makes me think of, oh, because that's what we were told is success. And that is actually, like, in my heart, I understand that they need to be able to be independent. But that's not what I want or think of. Like, I want... Ich denke auch, dass ich in einer etwas anderen Weise informiert bin, weil ich, als ich für die Schule ging, nie nach Hause ging.

Und ich wusste, dass das passieren wird. Ich wusste, dass ich ein guter Fußballspieler war. Ich wusste, dass ich weggehen werde. Ich bin niemals nach Hause gekommen für den Sommer. Ich trainierte immer mit den nationalen Teams, mit den jungen nationalen Teams. Und es gibt eine Part von mir, die weiß, dass das wahrscheinlich nicht gesund war.

Und wahrscheinlich nicht gut für meine gesamte Verbindung mit meiner Geburtstagsfamilie. And there's another part of me that is so grateful because it forced me to take care of myself and become this force, this independent person who has a ton of agency. I'm not scared of much. Anything that comes through the door, I'm able to handle it. And so I see our youngest... Kind of. She's in soccer.

She's getting recruited right now. It's very exciting. And there's going to be a time where I know that if she really wants to go and signs with the college, I know that she's going to come back less than the others. And that's going to be hard on this one. Mm-hmm. And it will be hard on me too, but I will, I will have, I have walked that walk.

That's why I was trying to keep the mediocre before she came. That was my whole job. Seriously, every time somebody, they'd be in gymnastics and somebody would say, they're getting really good. Do you want to do the, I was like, oh no, let's try soccer. Like mediocre was the goal. I didn't have to give up my weekend. And then this one came and now they're being recruited.
