And so I think that's the main motivator.

Yeah, I both completely agree with what both of you just said.

And I also think you can be a filthy rich, terrible parent or a parent who, you know, makes 45 grand a year.

and is an unbelievably good parent.

And so I think this gets back to the quantification of money just becoming the ultimate metric getting in the way.

I wrote about this in my last book.

I have a good friend of mine.

I've known him for more than 20 years.

One of my favorite people in the entire world.

He's so funny.

He tells such good stories.

He's so much fun to hang out with.

I can't wait to see him every time we hang out.

And among our friend group, he by far earns the least amount of money by far.

And it really bothers him.

And it makes him feel inferior.

And he says this.

And I had to tell him one day, I was like, look, if you are who you are, a good husband, a good father, hilarious, so much fun to hang out with, you've probably earned nine and a half out of 10 friend points that I'm willing to give you.

If you also happen to be a successful entrepreneur, I might bump you up to like 9.7 out of 10 from 9.

But don't pretend like it makes that much difference.
