When you're one of these people like Chelsea or like me or John, I don't know how long was yours.

But my point is when it's longer than that one and a half to two year sprint, when you're getting into four, five, seven years.

It's a beating.

And honestly, it's not good for your mental health to say, I don't do anything.

I don't go inside of a restaurant.

I don't do this.

So if you're a person who's beyond that timeline, you need to be thinking.

Like for Sam and I, it was like, okay, after a certain point,

we were sleeping on an air mattress for so long, we're like, hey, we're four years in, we're buying a mattress and we're buying a bed for crying out loud, right?

And then there was a, I think at the six-year point, we needed a new vehicle.

And so we stopped paying off debt and we bought another vehicle.

It was cash flowed and it wasn't overly priced.

But when you're in a longer stint, you do have to be very intentional about planning, okay, I gotta do something to keep myself going.

At some points, maybe it's a pizza.

At some points, maybe it's like, I'm just going to like drive to the beach and have, you know, have a good time.

And I'm not going to stay more than one night in a hotel, but I'm also not going to take a flight right at your fourth year.

Right.

So.

I want you to hear me on that because at that point, yeah, you're not going to, John, you don't disappear from society for five years.

Yeah.
