Make it a profit.

I was trying to contribute to the family.

Exactly.

There is something to it because I didn't take it for granted.

I knew that like, okay, these cleats, these Copa, Adidas Copas that I just bought with like kangaroo leather.

Yes.

Like I earned those and I want to take care of those and I'm going to polish them.

Yeah.

And I'm going to keep them clean.

And I was proud of those cleats.

Um, so there's something, there's something in that, you know, that it, it taught me to appreciation of, of things.

Um, and it, and also maybe since generation two, you know, I remember going with my mom to the grocery store.

We, she would save coupons.

We'd have, she'd have like every week, she'd have a stack of coupons that she'd cut out from mailers, from magazine, you know, all this stuff.

So I'd go with her and it was my task to go with her to the grocery store and find these items.

That were in the coupons.

Right.

And then, you know, my reward was this chocolate pie at the end of it, which were like those, those like crusted, I don't know, like almost calzone-esque.

Like an apple fritter.

They were only 25 cents, you know, at the time.
