I was like, I'm not old enough to retire. And I don't have, you know, the time. And he said, uh, Can you buy it? How much does it cost? And I said, I have to get back to you. But I knew it was a significant six-figure number. And I got back to him with the number, and he wrote the check. And so at like 21 years on April Fool's Day of 2013, I retire. So he paid your— He bought it.

So if you want to collect a retirement, you have to do at least a certain amount of time. You get vested in the state system. Got it. So to make it worthwhile, to make it a significant amount of money, you want to do at least 25 years. I mean, 20 years, you could do it. But at 25 years and 30 years, the money's pretty nice.

And so to get to 25, at the time he wanted me to retire, he needed to buy it and it was six figures and he wrote the check. Wow. And so within like a couple of days you were done? No, I kind of was strategic about it and I planned it out and I wanted to see exactly what his process was. And he was a very, very smart guy and a very forward thinking guy.
