So thanks for the question and congrats.

If I could go back, it would be to when I had little kids and, you know, those were the solid days for me.

I think I'll look back on the happiest time of my life and I'll be when our kids used to bomb into our room on a Sunday morning and jump into bed with us.

Look, there's no right way.

There's your way.

And that is

There's no such thing as balance.

There's just trade-offs.

And I can't stand it when thought leaders or people giving advice or whatever say, you know, always prioritize family.

You won't regret it.

Yeah, maybe.

We live in a capitalist society, and money is not only freedom and optionality, it's health.

People in the upper decile of income-earning homes live 7 to 10 years longer than people in the lowest decile.

So I think you just have to get alignment with your partner and recognize there is no balance, there's a straight off.

So you might decide that you want to move to a lower cost part of the world, manage your finances tightly, and you and your wife decide that you're going to prioritize family and you're going to work 40 hours a week and coach Little League and go to church and whatever.

be a good American and have a really nice life.

And a lot of people do that and are happy and move to a place where they can buy a house for $300,000.

So that is, you know, there's a lot of people who are very happy living that life.

I didn't want to live that life.

I wanted more money.
