Well, you know, I do these legacy interviews and I get to hear people talking about their lives and what they think about what happened and how they did things. And one thing that I hear a lot and it actually kind of like, you know, pierces into my heart where it's like, they're like, yeah. you say you can't afford kids because you want a lifestyle that's at this level.

But when we had kids, we didn't have that. We did a lot more shopping at Goodwill. We did a lot more of this thing and that thing. And I hear it a lot with people that had five kids or six kids. And now that I have two kids and how hard it was to get them, I realize the only real wealth you have in life is your family. That's it. It's not the money in your bank account that's going to make you

I mean, you need a certain amount to be stable and to be able to provide as a father or as parents. But the wealth that you're going to have when you're 60 or 70 is how many grandkids sit around and want to talk with you or want to hear you or want you to fix some toy that they have or show you how to run the tractor. That's wealth.

What happened? Yeah.

We had to do IVF to have our two kids. And, uh, Man, that was the thing that I always tell young kids now, young guys, particularly when they get married, like, hey, I waited 10 years. My wife and I are having a great time. We go on trips. We do all this stuff. And I didn't realize, like, oh, wait, you could get to a point where you say the clock is running out and this may not happen.

But I think this has to do with the culture. When I talk to these people about legacy interviews and you say, Hey, to the, to the woman, you know, What did you want to be when you grew up? She was like, I didn't care. There were three options. I could be a teacher, a nurse, or a secretary. And what I really wanted to be was a mom.

And even the women that were going to school to get a law degree or to go on and get higher education, they would basically say, like, I was doing this, but I wanted to be a mom. But we went through – remember when we were in school, how much anti-pregnancy stuff there was in school? Like you got to carry around this baby and, oh, God, if you get pregnant in high school, life over.
