Monthly. Um, it looks like probably, uh, I'm going to say, let's just say 6,000, 6,500, 6,000. Okay. Okay. And, um, I, here's a couple of things that are important to know.

Because of the expenses, because I don't want to live in the area. It's far from my kids and my grandkids. Where do you want to be? I want to be closer to where they are or... I am willing to go a little outside of the area to stay within my personal comfort financially. Okay.

I'm fine. Okay. What that would look like is, uh, right now, honestly, um, creating some more freedom for myself, freeing up the equity that I have in the house, um, getting accounts set up properly, renting for some period of time and something as low as I can. And what location, Lori?

I would be foregoing about... you know, 70 to $80,000 of tax, you know, but I've already spent 60 and I'm going to spend another 30 or 40 for the rest of the year. And I'm choking.
