You know, you mentioned in that response that you have done something very unusual lately.
You have decided to sell your home and you're a very young guy and you've, and your wife have decided to become renters.
Walk me through the thinking behind that pretty big decision.
And the grandparents wouldn't be too enthused either.
And did you rent an actual detached home or did you rent a condo?
What kind of place?
A lot of people with young kids worry about renting because they think there's a chance they could get kicked out at some point.
The landlord goes a different direction and then they're forced to move and they may have to change schools and that could be psychologically impactful on the kids.
What was your thinking there and how do you protect against that?
And then now you're saying I'm nutty.
It doesn't matter as much until they get to high school.
You know, where you have those friends that you're bonding with in a different kind of environment as you become young adults.
Not to say it doesn't matter at all, but it doesn't matter as much until that age.
But you've obviously given a lot of thought.
You also mentioned that you weren't the landlord type person, that it just didn't go for you.
What about that experience left a bad taste in your mouth?
You know, it's interesting.
Like I'm pro home ownership.
You know, when people listen to the podcast, they hear me trying to give both sides and Ben giving both sides and I get criticism online, but I own my own home and
My kids own their own homes now.
