Like we don't want that.

We want something better for ourselves and our kids going forward.

And I'm like, what do we need to do?

And I'm like, okay, well, you know, you've got this vehicle over here, which I had been told on several occasions that this was their like dream car that they'd always wanted.

And finally they had it.

And it was like 120K or something.

And half of it was financed.

And I was like, well, you know, if you sold this car and got rid of the finance and bought yourself a cheaper car, then if you're not putting money towards the finance on the car, then that would actually open up some cash flow to help towards an investment property.

And they're like, OK, we need to think about this.

That's cool.

And then they're like, no, we want to do it.

Next day, they're like, we want to do it.

And this kind of just dragged on for a little bit.

And eventually I said, look, you know, where are you at?

Because they kept saying that they wanted to do it, but nothing was really happening or moving.

And I said, what's really going on here?

And they're like, when we bought the car, like we just know that if we sell the car, everyone around us, our family, our friends, our community, they're going to be saying things behind our back like, oh, you know, I knew they couldn't afford that car or, you know, knew that they were over committing themselves or, you know, if they were to know that they were buying investment property, like,

who do they think they are, you know, to buy an investment property because that's just so different to just their environment and the people around them.

And so when this actually came up and we were able to have a really good discussion around like,

their beliefs and the culture around money.
