So we're going to get into that a lot more for those who are just starting out and don't have the same budget as everybody else.

Yeah, so I was born and raised in Ontario, Canada. And my mom, she was a single mom growing up. So it was not lavish, to say the least. She's absolutely wicked. I shouldn't say she was wicked. She's absolutely wicked. This girl is, she's a phoenix. She just takes these situations and turns them into something that...

My brother and I didn't even know that we were poor until we were old enough to understand that we were poor. Yeah, we would literally roll coins at the table, but she would make it a game. So we didn't think that it was like embarrassing to take these rolled coins to get our groceries. And we had... And we actually grew up the first house when she left my dad, who was very abusive.

So that in its own was such a triumph for her. But she got this little one bedroom apartment. And I remember my brother used to put duct tape down the middle of the bedroom. And he's like, Alana, that's your side of the room. Don't put your toys on my side. Don't come on my side. I mean, this room was smaller. It was a closet. Right. Okay. And my poor mom had to sleep on the couch.

You have to almost overcome that. It's the abundance mindset, right? If we start telling us that we have to turn it off, that we can't afford to keep it on. And it's funny how we evolve like that. Cause I do remember when I first got my first apartment, same thing.

I turn out all the lights, constantly turn out the lights and making sure that, you know, I would wear an extra sweater instead of, and now my house stays so hot. Everybody comes over. They're like, Alana, can we open a window? Like saying, I'm like, it's so nice in here. It's like Miami, but we're not in Miami. We're in the freezing cold in Ontario.
