I think it's, look, and it's not that your son was saying something wrong.

No.

He actually thought it was.

100%.

Which is why, again, like, it's this crazy paradox.

Like, we work so hard to give our kids these great lives and make their lives better.

But ultimately, we don't want to deprive them from the things that actually will give them their own satisfaction later on.

I look, you know, without naming names, I have two people that are close to me that are both third generation kind of big families, meaning, you know, each of their parents, I think, were billionaires.

OK, very wealthy people.

And in both cases, so I know the third gen in both cases.

One of them is one of the hardest working people I know.

The other one is not at all like the opposite, super laid back.

And they're both very happy people.

They're both wonderful people.

But it's fascinating to me how both of them are third gen yet completely different.

And it's all about the values they set.

One really wants to prove that

He benefited from the past two generations, but he's gonna make his own mark in the world.

Making his own mark is deeply important to him because he wants to have personal meaning, personal accomplishment.

The other one is like, look, I basically won the lottery, so I'm gonna enjoy life more than anybody else because I don't even know how this happened, but I'm gonna enjoy it.
