Is it the Bitcoin generation, the crypto generation, I want to get rich tomorrow because, man, I wish I knew what they did when I was that age. And we're trying to explain it to them, but they don't want to listen. Yeah, I think people do want to get rich quickly. I'm going to sound like an old man here, but I think that generation has a shorter attention span due to all the technology they consume and a 24 hour news cycle. You know, everything is just much faster in their lives than it was with us. So I was unbelievably lucky that when I was 21 years old, I read about compounding and read about the effects and started putting money away. When I was 21 years old, I maxed out my IRA at that point, which was $2,000 a year because I had heard just some crazy statistics about if you invested from 21 to 31 and stopped, you would have more money at 65 than if you started at 31 and invested all the way to 65. Great stat. You know, the same amount of money every year. So I continued to invest (10/35)
