I love how dynamic your mom is, Sean. So for me, there is one money lesson that came to me later in life that I indirectly learned from my mom, and that's actually planning for retirement. My mom never gave me any education about retirement savings, but I do remember her retiring early when I was in my early 30s.

My mom never gave me any education about retirement savings, but I do remember her retiring early when I was in my early 30s.

She was able to live off of her savings until her pensions kicked in, which obviously took discipline, consistent saving, and also careful planning to achieve that. But it's not until now that I learned more about personal finances and started to think about my own retirement that it registered to me what she had to do in order to retire early.

And as I'm talking about this, I realized that I'm subconsciously inspired by my mom as early retirement is a goal of mine too. Did you learn much about budgeting by watching your mom with money, Sean?

And you have also just taught me a new parenting hack because I'm tired of my son losing his jackets too.

The final lesson that I'm going to share that has really shaped the way that I approach making money is that having money is good, but it isn't everything. I remember during my late teens and early 20s, I watched my mom work sometimes seven days a week because she was saving so aggressively to fund building her house in Nigeria and also to fund early retirement.

That's such a beautiful value to learn, Sean, because you can't get those years back. All right, Sean. So if you had to tee up the money lessons you learned from your mom in one sentence, what would it be?

I would say my sentence would be decide the type of life that you want, figure out how money will help you get there, and then execute your plan without self-sacrificing.
