Obviously there are cons, I guess you could say, but for me, I think in my tax bracket at the moment, the only difficulty is like affording to travel. That's something that I'm constantly thinking about. So that is definitely a challenge for me right now, but yeah,

You know, there are ways there are ways where you can travel that is more affordable than, you know, a two thousand dollar plane ticket somewhere. So I think sometimes when we think about travel, we think of like going around the world or something when really like. I just went to Starved Rock, which is a state park in Illinois, a couple weekends ago.

We drove an hour and a half outside the city of Chicago. And it was beautiful, you know. So, I mean, that's not the same as going to Paris, obviously. But, you know, you don't necessarily have to break the bank just to get outside your comfort zone and things like that. So, yeah, those are some of my thoughts.

Not really. I mean, just underscoring what everyone else has said. I have a trip to Europe coming up in like six weeks. So these are great tips and great things to think about. So the timing is, is good for me. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, to me, I've always just grown up with... I feel like wanting to travel is a value in some ways. It doesn't interest everyone, and that's totally okay.

I think for me, my parents always instilled in us that traveling... is a really important way to, like we were saying earlier, to expand your worldview so you're not stuck in your own, you know, echo chamber of thoughts and experiences and perspectives. So I think that that's something that motivates me to continue traveling either, you know, relatively locally or to a totally different culture.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah. And I have to believe that there is some type of traveling for everyone. You know, some people prefer national parks and connecting with nature. Some people prefer, you know, the Fifth Avenue trip to New York. Some people prefer going international. Some people prefer a little bit of a a little bit of everything, but I, I think there's so many different options.

I can pop in quick and then Maddie, if you want to pop in too. I did the research for this episode, so I definitely have a lot more understanding about safety than I did previously. I think as a society in the U.S.,

compared to other places we are um not as risk averse as maybe other countries um other places that pay that have public health care um it is of their financial interest to make sure that you're safe and healthy um so they don't want to pay for you to have an accident later down the road so i think us all being responsible for our own health insurance pushes the onus onto individuals in the US.
