It's in a trust that's already taken care of. They'll get their money turned over when somewhere between 25, 26, and 33, because that's the optimal time for them when they're mentally mature and at physical maturity, not in decline.

No, no. I want to give them a roadmap. I want to teach them that it's a tool. A lot of people, one of the biggest mistakes they make is assigning some sort of good or bad to money or what it is, etc., It's not money that's good or bad in the Bible. It's the love of money that is good or bad. I use this analogy. You say like money is a tool, much like a hammer and saw and nails and rail guns.

Do hammers and saws build houses? No. You need to know how to use those tools. People build those houses. So you do. Does money make you happy? No. But if you know how to use the tool of money, It can make you happy or it can make you miserable. So some people, you give hammers and saws, they build a house, they build canoes. This is wonderful things. You're like, how the hell did you build this?

Some people give hammers and saws and they're just sitting there to cut their arm off. And so what I'm trying to do is not tell my kids what they should do, but teach them how to use the tools. Once they know how to use the tools, if they decide to build houses or canoes or cut their arms off, that's up to them.

But I want to make sure that I gave them the instruction manual and got them a little bit proficient on how to use the tools. And that's it. Then my job is done, right? I have so many friends that try and control people from the grave, that use the money as a control mechanism. I'm very big on like, that's my dream. My dreams are my dreams. My dad always tried to get me to be an attorney.

Get the hell out of here. I'm never doing that. But you try and push your dreams onto your kids. I want you to be a doctor. I want you to be this. I want you to be that, whatever. And that's not necessarily what they want to do. They have their own life and it's their adventure. And what I want to do is set them up with the tools to choose their own adventure.

Now, I might not agree with that adventure. I probably won't because I come from a different era and a different culture and all kinds of things. But I will be rest assured and happy that if they're fulfilled, great.

Thanks. That's great feedback. I mean, you don't write books to get rich. You write books to get your point across. And for me, I see it as saving lives. And a lot of people have said this before. What do you mean saving lives, Perkins? You're fucking crazy. What do you mean saving lives? You're not saving lives.

And I'm like, well, listen, when somebody's drowning in the river or Lake Austin, you pull them out, mouth to mouth, and you save their lives. guess what, they're still gonna fucking die. Just not that day, right? So what did you do when you saved their life by pulling them out of the river? You've given them more choices, more experience, more life. So when you read my book,

And you get off autopilot and you get more choices, more experience, more life. Isn't it the same? At least in my mind it is. And that's what motivates me. And so when you say it had an impact in you and you're going to have a more fulfilling life, it's like, I fucking did it. You know what I mean? I feel very happy. So I appreciate it.

Thanks for having me. It's been great.
