Because I only bring it up because you and I always talk about how some of our friends would get out of college and within a couple of years had big jobs.

Yeah.

Like accounting firms or, and then we're making serious money.

And it took us, it took me until I was trying to think the year now, probably 26 or 27 before I would say I was making a livable wage.

Like, think about all those years the two of us worked for, like, nothing.

But I didn't live in Florida, though.

Yeah.

And I was making $22,500 in 98 and was broke, beyond broke.

And my rent was at that point, 900 a month.

And I did have a car payment.

And I had tolls to pay.

Yeah.

Right.

I had no tolls.

Because I could see how- No commute, really.

If you were comfortable, as a single guy at 19,000 a year, living alone in Tampa, how 50 is literally two and a half times, like you were comfortable- I couldn't imagine.

And that's two and a half times what you're making.

Yeah.

So you must have felt like you were, at least briefly, before you realized the tax situation.

How about that?
