And so that discipline helped me later in life. When it was time to learn about finance, I didn't go to school for economics. I didn't go to school for business. It was self-taught. And so that reading came back into it. It was Business Week. It was CNBC.

It was anything I can get my hands on that would help increase my knowledge base around the world that I wasn't familiar with, because my parents didn't come from it. A lot of my family didn't come forward. I did have some friends who had some financial knowledge, but I wanted to be part of their conversations. Like I was around and they would have financial conversations.

So the next time they have a conversation about money and finance and real estate, Yeah, I'm well in depth. In fact, I'm going to add to this conversation. So it was like a challenge for me from that point on.

I own a house, I own two homes, yeah. So I own, my parents, we live in a home now. And that's interesting. During the pandemic when interest rates were really low, I remember like, hey, we gotta refinance this house. And my parents were like, we can't do it, we co-own it.
