I did not struggle.
Yes, I grew up in low-income housing and we used to get free lunch from schools and stuff.
I forgot what the benefits were called.
I appreciate the government for giving free food to my sister and I. And then we also had ā I had college grants because of low income from parents.
So I really do appreciate the state and the government for helping me out.
But where I was getting with this is I had that hunger and drive.
I didn't have it ā
really tough because eventually my parents saved enough and they were able to give us a leg up because I was able to borrow some of that money for your company.
Yeah.
But I still had enough hunger and I don't think my kids will have the drive that I did because they don't really have a good sense of reality.
So I'm just trying to teach them a win for me would be if my kids give back and try to help others.
I would be very happy with that.
No, I just would have given them zero.
And then give it to them as they got older.
And then I wouldn't have been able to put as much in the trust because the shares would have been worth more.
The money would have been dollar for dollar.
Usually what people do is they put shares in a company.
You get valuations.
But if you know a company is having a good growth rate, you're like, well, 10 years from now, it'll be worth a crap load.
It's great.
