And there are not like the, you know, work on your laptop on the beach kind of digital nomad dream, but the ability to buy that freedom to then invest it in a family. Yes. That to me feels like part of the point.

One of the things I've been thinking about is, you know, I'm thinking about like leaving the UK and where we want to live long term. And I think one of the major considerations is actually in a low cost of living place. Because having a low cost of living means you have to work fewer hours to get exactly the same lifestyle.

So I was like, all right, cool.
