And because we have kids right now that we're like, I don't think we enjoy it that much.
And it wasn't until we were looking at our summer schedule that we were like, okay, we got two more trips coming up that we were like, oh, really?
And we realized the best part of the last several trips that we've taken is coming home.
The most enjoyable part of the trip was coming home.
And we were like, can we just admit,
That maybe we shouldn't be doing this as much as we do.
Even if society tells us that we should do it and everyone else, I travel a lot for work.
So like my idea of a vacation is not going on an airplane.
But you have to realize like everyone's unique and different.
Like if travel is your thing or someone listening to this, awesome.
Please go do it.
We had to just admit to ourselves that at least at this phase of our life, we want to do a little bit less of it.
So the idea that everyone's different is important.
And I think a lot of what throws people off with money is chasing a lifestyle that is right for somebody else, but not right for them.
And that it can be very hard thing to do because you're like, man, this person over here,
he's working this hard and she has this house and they're living this lifestyle and it looks like they're pretty happy.
And then you try to do it and you're like, but I'm not happy.
And the truth may have been that working that hard and spending money on that was right for that person, but it's not right for you.
You and I had Jeff Bezos's
Elon Musk's ambition, I think we drive ourselves absolutely crazy.
