With that, again, it's actually a strength because you've built that buffer.

But where it becomes a weakness is where you can't see an end to that buffer.

Where you, for you, it's just, I just need to work and hoard, work and hoard.

And that's where I'll feel safe.

But for a worker, it's about understanding, all right, what's the cash figure that makes me have sleep at night factor?

And then I'll leave that there because that's going to make me feel safe.

And then I'll invest or I'll start to free up the rest.

My husband was exactly that.

And he's what you're describing is so him.

He's a worker.

So it's fascinating to hear you say all those things.

Yeah.

Yeah, which is absolutely understandable.

But that's when I think a lot of us have gone to the basement behaviour in the language of Gallup strength, of our money types.

Because that makes us feel safe.

So for me, when COVID first hit, I was paralysis by analysis, 50 different theories, like 50 different strategies, working, you know, just I almost couldn't sleep because my mind just wouldn't stop.

So it's then going, okay, well, how can I harness this for good rather than having it be a self-destructive thing?

And so for me, that was looking at, okay, well, the share market's crashing.

What do I believe about that?

And let's run those theories for that instead and maybe do some investing there.
