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.
