I was like, really? He's like, yeah, it's much closer than you think. You thought it was a bigger gap. I thought it's a gap. I thought there's something I don't know.

Was it in stocks? What were you doing? Yeah. My father built his own business and then lost it to drugs and alcohol. And it was, it was a sad, like, that's definitely for me. I think a lot of, a lot of men, we want our fathers to recognize us. And I was fortunate. I have a great mom and a great stepfather. But for me, that, that father attachment. Yes.

Um, and I think with growing up with Jewish parents, candidly, like we're taught to be very frugal. We're taught to be very practical and it's just like, go make money. And that, that's a thing versus like, all right, how do you enjoy life? And I think with my ex, it wasn't, she kind of made me feel bad about it.

Like, why don't you spend money or we go to the airport, it's like $5 for a bottle of water. I'm like, I'm going to go to the bathroom and drink from the faucet. Like, or like, I'm just like five bucks. It's fine. I don't care. And I'm, there's still times, but over time you start spending in different things. Like I bought a fancy Jaguar. I had so much regret on it. Yes, you did. Oh yeah.

I hated it. I hated it. I dude, I, Oh man, it was the worst. Cause I don't care about nice cars. I have a 2004 Miata. I just got a new Vespa. There you go. That's the second I do. I do have a, I have a model Y, but it was not important to me. And I think that was interesting where she wasn't in free. Both of us. She wasn't like, Hey, she was like, you're being cheap.

You know, it kind of like felt deflated versus, and I was like, hey, why don't we, you know, do you want to try spending these things? Can we rent it for a day? Right, right, right. So I think there was ways of actually being more positive to each other with money. Right. Wow.

Like to me, it's like I'm grateful for electricity. I'm grateful for water. Yeah. Hot water. I think that's silly, man. Yeah.
