And it is sweet that you can be like, you can be a child, you can have whatever you want.
But also I think you slightly lose a little bit of like gratitude because you're like, you don't feel the same amount of...
oh wow, like this is worth $9.
Like we're going on a ride, which costs $9 for me.
I'm like, wait, that could give me like a pasta rainbow, you know, like, you know what I mean?
I was always thinking of the most cost effective way, which potentially people could be listening to us going, that's, that is sad.
Um, but it was just how we grew up because we were always, always focusing on the best way to make money kind of stretch, I guess.
Um, but I think, uh,
Yeah, in a way, it's not necessarily a negative thing.

it's a part of it like happiness money is a part of happiness but it's not the whole thing and i thought growing up that that was the whole thing um but actually it's also like looking at your your family your relationship with your family your relationship with food and your health like all of that equals happiness it's not necessarily money but i think money is still a really important part and it's really important that we are sitting here talking and you've got this platform because i think that is it's so important that people do learn about it because it is an element of it
um but yeah billionaire family was crazy like they even had um one of their holiday homes they had a pull-out freezer drawer of unlimited ben and jerry's ice cream oh my god yeah i know we had we did like a we had a chef from italy that came over and just made us like pasta every single day we had a dessert chef as well and i think just little things like that like the ben and jerry's ice cream for example for me that was like a treat that i got once a summer it
