Neil Patel

His dad is retired, doesn't need money as an anesthesiologist.

My parents ended up doing okay in life, not because of us giving back the money.

They took all that money back in the day and put it into like Apple and Google stock.

So then it went up and they did well from that.

But we always buy the cars whenever they need new cars.

My parents use my credit card every month so they don't actually spend their own money.

Um, anytime they're going somewhere, like they're just like, Neil, we want to go to India.

So I book them like business class airfare.

I don't go first class, but I'll book them business class airfare on Emirates, you know, going to India from LA.

It's like, we take care of them, whatever they want.

We end up getting them.

They just don't ask for much.

Not really, because when you're young and you don't have much, there's nothing to really lose.

They both had good enough jobs on both sides of the family where they can keep paying the payments for mortgage or whatever it may be.

So no one was really worried.

There was a floor where we knew we couldn't take every single penny.

They needed enough savings to just survive.

But they were OK with it.

And we believed in ourselves.

And we're like, well, worst case scenario, we'll go get a job like at Microsoft or somewhere and then pay back because we believe that we could get a high paying job.
