I don't think I'm obsessed with money.
I don't think it controls my life.
But I've had to go out of my way to have a healthier relationship with it.
But I think it's definitely been true that the reason that I've found myself in this career is that it's always been my thing.
And I think everybody has that thing in their life.
But I think you enjoy it.
Exactly.
I think what's true about a money addiction is that it tends to be the classic addiction of like you tell yourself, if only I get one more hit, so to speak, then I'll be satiated.
Then that'll be enough.
And the answer is like, no, it absolutely will not.
I'll tell you like a personal thing.
I don't think this is true, but it made me laugh.
My wife and I bought a new house about a year ago.
It's an awesome house.
We love it.
It's great.
And my brother-in-law came over the other day and he goes, you know, you're only going to live here for two years before you want to buy a bigger house.
And I had to laugh because I'm like, I don't think that's true.
I think we're going to live here for a while, but I know what you're saying is right.
That's the natural guide towards it.
