that there was other people on the show who were buying Porsches and big screen TVs, which were a lot of money at that time, and all these different things. And all I cared about was paying off my debt and making sure that I was living hand to mouth. I opened a Schwab account. I wanted to, before boss bitch was a term, I wanted to be that. I wanted to be financially smart.
You know, I wrote that book. Of course I know. There it is. Just checking. In those days, I'm 55. This was 30 plus years ago. People that I grew up with, especially women, even my parents who were super cool and all that were like, when are you getting married? Who's going to take care of you? And all of that, because that was the environment we were growing up in. And I was raised by very 1950s

What era are we living in right now? It's true, and it's insane to me. I understand why I was raised like that, because we're all products of our environment. But I cannot understand anyone my age. Like, my oldest kids are 21. I was just visiting them. That's where I was telling you. I just got back from a whirlwind trip. And I loved sitting with my son. He's studying abroad this semester.

And sitting with him and him saying to me, hey, so what do you think about... And laying out different... ideas for what his future looks like and what he's interested in and are really thoughtful. And he's nervous. He wants to be successful on his own. I love hearing that.

That's an interesting question. Yeah, we've had feast and famine years. Of course, when I was in that credit card debt. And I worried sometimes about, you know, how I was gonna take care of myself. I think we all go through that. But I think as a sentient being, as a married adult, I got married at 30. Even Terry and I have had those moments. We've talked about it publicly.

We, I say we, because we're in this together, but Terry had made an investment that turned out to be a huge scam. And we had $2 million swindled from us. This is a long time ago. But at a time where, look, $2 million is a lot of money. I don't care who you are. Of course. It's a lot of money. But especially at that time, and what we took away, people would say to me, aren't you upset with him?

Aren't you angry? And I would say no, because our system of checks and balances completely failed. And I... realized that I was doing the same thing that my mother had done in her relationship with my father and just assumed he was taking care of everything. It wasn't breaking any cycles at all. And so Terry and I sat down and I was like, look, we need to fix this. And this is our partnership.
