The aunties.

It's about you getting good with that conversation with yourself.

When interest rates were lower.

Yes.

Yes.

And now we're about 6.25%.

Obviously, we were at rock bottom interest rates around the pandemic and when we saw financial Armageddon in 2008, but that was an emergency measure.

So those rock bottom interest rates were what people got used to, but they're not typical.

We're at more of a typical interest rate level right now.

Yeah.

We make up a lot of stories in our head that end up

taking over.

And the best antidote for shame is truth and looking at it and realizing, actually, I suffered more in imagination than in reality.

Yeah, well, we also do have these conversations at our wealth management firm, Private Wealth Collective.

And this is truly a holistic approach.

So you can't really look at homeownership in a vacuum.

You have to look at your entire financial picture.

You know, people often say, like, can I buy a home?

It's like, hold on a second.

I have a thousand other questions for you.
