Number one, it really connects the dots between how your lifestyle choices and spending and expenses impact the top of the mountain where you're trying to go. And so what you'll notice if you play around with this is that as you spend less, that number goes down. If you can live on less, if you can really live beneath your means and invest more of your income, you will get there infinitely faster.

So a really nice example of this and something that I talk about a lot in the book, I have this chart where I show you, depending on the percentage of your income that you're saving, here's how long it will take you to go from zero Zero dollars invested to total financial freedom. Now I really can see what's on the other side of that.

Now it's not just, well, if I don't spend this money, I save it. And then who knows what, who cares? It's, well, if I can save and invest this money, that directly means fewer years of working. And oh, by the way, I can see exactly how many fewer years.

So for me personally, that information was very impactful and it was what enabled me to transition from working in sort of a corporate nine to five setting to entrepreneurship and some variations of self-employment and getting to take more risks with my career because I wasn't dependent on a paycheck.

Well, I think my... My philosophy and my thinking more generally evolved a lot over the two years in ways big and small. But there was a chapter that we ended up having to cut that I had spent a lot of time writing. And it's a topic that I feel very strongly about, which is the decision to rent or buy your home.

It's a topic that I feel strongly about because I think it's one of the most misunderstood decisions in life and finance, particularly in the United States. And I think a lot of people go into it with the wrong information. So there is a cut chapter that we were not able to keep in the book about rent versus buy and how this decision actually is different mathematically for women.

Some of the data around it's very interesting. So we ended up using that as, it's like a free bonus. If you pre-order the book, we will send you that chapter. So you could read, you could read a chapter today that should have been in the book and didn't make it in.

So I didn't use AI to help with the writing of the book, but one of the elements of writing a nonfiction book that I really underestimated the time that it takes is going back and creating all of your end notes and citations. So there is a lot of data in the book and most of the data comes from reports that in many cases are very long.
