Yeah, there you go. So you guys are going to have different personalities, but don't let that stop you guys as seeing yourselves as a team when it comes to your money and seeing yourselves as one. So, yeah, I think if you go to him, to your point, and you're like, we need a budget tonight. I'm just so excited. I want a budget. He's going to be like, oh, Christine. Oh, my gosh. Like, geez.
