We put the dog in the car and the baby and we're like, it's cool.

We'll be back later.

We were going to go to a friend's house and then, you know, how could they let this burn down?

And also my husband was like, yeah, and I just paid so much in taxes.

Like, we're good.

The trucks are on their way.

Like I paid for the fire hydrant stuff.

No, none of it was there.

And so that's really unnerving on so many levels that the systems that you expect to be there when you need them the most aren't.

But yes, Rick Crusoe was our first guest here, which felt very poetic and fitting to rebuild the office and the studio.

Thank you.

The idea of renting like feels good to me on a financial and an emotional level because of that.

Yeah, if you're moving around like Gen Z and millennials are, it is more advantageous to rent.

I think the idea that there's so much shame once you tease through some of these issues and you get to a point where this is an intentional decision.

I, Naima, move around a lot.

I, Naima, am being disciplined that I'm investing in the market, you know, and I'm consciously choosing to rent so that I can free up more of my capital to grow faster for me.

You know, that's a different mindset than saying like, oh, I'm such a loser.

I'm renting.

I'm stuck at life.

Like, what am I going to tell the Pakistani ladies at the next?
