No. Yeah. The education piece is. Is the linchpin, you know, which is why shows like this exist. It's just a matter of. It's. It's a matter of the education around how to do the things, but it's also the belief that it's possible, which I. Which I think is probably the thing that holds up more people rather than the education piece. It, like, it prevents them from taking action on any education because they just don't believe that it's possible for them to get rich. But again, I also think that people have a wildly skewed idea or view of what getting rich means, and people don't. People don't do the math. Like, if You've never done this before. Just sit down and have an open conversation with chat GPT around how much money you need or want for the rest of your life. You know, tell it your age, you know, based on average life expectancy or whatever. How much money would I need in order to be able to live the rest of my life? By the time I'm in, in increments of like, whatever, a decade. So by the time I'm 30, by the time I'm 30, 40, by the time I'm 50, 60, 78. What, like, what are, what's the amount of money I would need in the bank in order to be able to do this and describe the lifestyle that you want to. To chatgpt or whatever. Like this, like, this is the house that I want to live in. These are the cars that I want to be driving. These are the vacations I want to be taking. This is where I want to be. This is what I want my, my work life to look like. This is what I want my life to look like. Here's how many kids I want, how much money do I need in order to be able to live this, this expected version of life? And I believe would be surprised if it came back at a lower number than you're envisioning that you would need. So once you wrap your mind around how much money it takes to actually live a life that you want, then that sort of puts you into a thought experiment where you have two choices in front of you, one of which is just to accept the lot in life that you were given, accept the hand that you were dealt, and just say, this is all I'm ever going to be and I have to change my expectations of what I'm going to get out of my life. Or the second thing is to say, wow, that number's so much bigger than I thought it was going to be. I have, I am compelled to change something about the plan that I have to go get that, because right now, even if I got my scheduled raise at the end of the year, every year for the next 30 years, and I never lost my job, never had any interruptions in earnings, I will never get close to that dollar amount. Therefore, something big has to change and has to change now. Like, I think it just might help create a little bit of urgency, because that's what I think a lot of people are lacking, especially, you know, young men and women, you know, 30s, 40s, type of, type of an age. There's just, there's. There's a lack of urgency it's just kind of like, I'm doing okay, everything's okay, everything's fine. You know what I mean? It's like, okay, but what is fine mean when you extrapolate that into the future? You know, when you think about what, what this timeline of fine is, what does that look like in 20 years, is it still going to be fine? Because at some point it's not going to be fine. At some point you're not going to be 37, you're not going to be 44, and can just go get a good paying job for a decent company that pays you well, that, you know, treats you well because you have a skill set that they want to use. Eventually we will be like we as millennials. And then if you're listening, you're a little bit younger. You as Gen Z on the line, you're on the line. We will be in the position boomers are in now where it's like we're in our 60s, we're in our 70s. Like the younger generation understands the technology. They have more energy that like we will be paced out of the job market just like younger generations are or just like older generations. We're different feeling now.
