What does that look like?

And how do you feel about risk?

I think about my parents' relationship where I guess my mom was the original investy bestie because she would say things to my dad like, we should buy a rental property.

So and so have a rental property.

We should invest.

So and so invest.

And my dad was just too scared because from his perspective, he grew up with not a lot whatsoever.

He's genuinely grew up from what's considered the poverty line.

if you like look in today's terms within India and did really well for himself by moving out, coming to New Zealand and having like a middle-class lifestyle.

And my parents only had their one home.

They never bought a rental property.

They never invested outside of their retirement funds.

Specifically for my dad, it was just too scary.

So he was like the handbrake in the relationship.

He wouldn't commit to doing something like that.

And I feel like watching that made me the complete opposite where I'm like, let's take a risk.

Let's buy things.

Like I sometimes don't compute that this is like a large transaction.

I'm buying a home or I'm buying a rental property or I'm, you know, putting money into shares.

For me, I'm like, if I don't take that risk, it's going to negatively impact me down the line in the way that I've seen it negatively impact my parents because they weren't able to build well outside of their primary home and their nine to five jobs.
