You have some parents saying, hey, I want you to go to this school and become this when you get older. And then they grow up growing envy of their parents because their parents didn't give them an opportunity to say, you know what? Hey, let's work hand in hand. Or resentful or whatever it is. Exactly. So it's like, how do we do that together? So that's number two.

You gotta stop saying that.

You gotta stop saying that.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. But that came from the teaching of your father, though. Yeah. Because he didn't have a flashy car. Exactly. And nowadays, and then too, growing up, because we're right around the same age... Social media wasn't big back then. So we didn't see all the flashy stuff. You just saw your neighbor maybe had a nice car and that was it. Or your friend or whatever.

I'm really coming to value a whole lot more than cars is I want a wife. Right. You know, I want kids, you know, and it's like I value that more. Yeah.

I haven't been to Disneyland. And I've been to Six Flags. Yeah. You know, but we couldn't afford... The stepchild of Disneyland. Exactly. You know, we couldn't afford the family trips, the spring breaks.
