What's our net wealth?

Like some people, you know, don't know what their net wealth is.

So being able to calculate that, figuring that out and then being able to decide where

what the gap is between where they are and where they would like to be, right?

And just slowly trying to move towards closing that gap.

Yeah.

It's incredibly important.

I think, you know, if you take my sort of situation as being a chartered accountant, right, and charging by billable time, there's only so many hours in the day that I can work.

And even if I'm in front of my desk for like 22 hours out of 24, that times my charge out, right?

There's a maximum amount of money that I'm going to earn.

And I think sometimes it can be really scary looking at your retirement number and thinking, oh my gosh, that's like so much money.

This is the leverage that gets you to there.

You can't save your way to an early retirement or to any kind of retirement.

You've really got to get your money working for you.

And it's that passive investment, that investment that does something while you're sleeping or while you're at your day job, that kind of thing.

gets you outpacing inflation and just getting your money working for you.

Yeah, totally.

It can be really common in self-employment land as well.

And your income can be like kind of lumpy, right?

So I think there's a couple of really good tools that you could use.
