Thank you. Good to be back, yeah. Hey, just a little back story. We've been at... The Baby Steps since about 2010. So we became everyday millionaires, almost textbook. Within 10 years, we became millionaires and paid off our whole nine yards. Amazing. Of course, with no debt and so forth. But recently, I'd say within the last two or three years, we started noticing...
