If you guys edit stuff, I'll send you a picture of my grandmother.

Yeah, that'd be great.

Because...

Let me tell you my grandmother's story because I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her.

It gives me chills like the hair on my arms right now is standing up.

So my grandmother at 30, first of all, my grandparents did not have college educations.

So they were truly middle class people in America without a college education.

And at 30, my grandmother was broke.

And so was my grandfather, and they were living paycheck to paycheck.

My grandfather worked in a plant, and my grandmother worked in retail.

She sold wigs at a place called Gimble's Department Store, which was a very big department store back in the day.

And at 30, she turned to my grandfather, and she's like, this is not working.

And he's like, what's not working?

She said, we're poor.

We're living paycheck to paycheck.

We don't have any money.

And my grandfather said, well, what do you want to do about that?

And she's like, I need us to start making changes.

I want us to start saving and investing.

And she said, what we're going to do is I'm going to save $0.50 a week, and you're going to save $0.50 a week, and we're going to put it in a coffee can in the kitchen.
