And he said to me, he said, yes, Trevor.
He said, can I tell you something?
He said, I know some people, and this was, I mean, now 20 years ago.
He said, I know some people who earn, and he said like, he said, I know some people who earn 5,000 Rand a month, $500, let's say, or 250, whatever.
And he's like, and I know some people who earn 50,000 Rand a month.
I was like, 50,000 Rand a month?
That's impossible.
No one can earn that kind of money.
And he's like, no.
He said, let me tell you now.
He said, I know more of my friends who earn the five, 10,000 Rand a month who are happy than I do the ones who earn the 50,000.
He said, because with them, they spend that money and more every month, then get depressed that they only have it.
And then they try and move it to 60, then they spend 60, then they move it to 70, then they spend 70.
Then he said, I've watched them move up that ladder.
And he said, he genuinely, and I'm like 16 years old.
And he said to me, I know it seems like a myth, but there is no number.
He said, I've seen everyone in my life.
He said, there just, there is no number.
And I was like, I just, I can't believe anyone wouldn't be happy with 50,000 a month.
My brain was like, that's not possible.
