[00:01:50] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know why it didn't.

[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I was looking at you, but you didn't say it.

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_03]: So I didn't know what I'll see we're going to say any of it.

[00:01:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Because I always really secretly want to say it for you.

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_02]: But usually you jump in there and say it.

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_02]: So I said it for you.

[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I know but we're always talking over each other.

[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Just let me say my name.

[00:02:23] [SPEAKER_02]: We're just playing with this TikTok thing that's going on this train.

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I brought up this trip.

[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Because I had to share this video about how kids of today and we kind of fall in the middle there somewhere.

[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_02]: But kids of today and how they compared to their parents back when they were growing up.

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_03]: I guess our parents.

[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_02]: So like our, well if you look at our generation, even our generation compared to our parents generation.

[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, my parents were running into my parents.

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_02]: We're running into sign up for war.

[00:02:55] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, my dad's going to be a nom.

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_02]: But you know, our, you know, we're the kids of today or, you know, I just couldn't imagine someone who gets caught and wore in their purple hair.

[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I don't know.

[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I just don't know.

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_02]: But anyways, we have podcasts about it.

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, when you brought it up, I thought it was really interesting.

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_03]: So I watched the whole...

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Did you watch the video I sent you?

[00:04:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I watched her whole speel.

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_03]: And the funny thing is when I think about it,

[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought I did really well for your pointing at the mics.

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_03]: And that means I need to be out.

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_02]: You have a closer to the mic.

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Right, and I thought I was doing really well because my...

[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_03]: But when I think about it, at 18, my mom left everything behind.

[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_03]: So I thought I was doing pretty good at 18, 16, I bought my first property, right?

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_03]: 21, I bought my first commercial property.

[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I had an architectural business at that time, architectural concrete company.

[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_03]: But when I think back, at 18 years old, my mom left everything behind.

[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_03]: In a different country, she had a baby.

[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Then she came to this country and started from scratch,

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_03]: invested in a bunch of real estate, started a business with my dad.

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_03]: So she was actually more ahead than I was.

[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, do you know exactly where she was at 18?

[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_02]: What was exactly where she was doing at 18?

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Do you remember?

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, here's the thing.

[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_03]: She didn't have the property that I had.

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_03]: And then just a couple years later though, by the time I was 21,

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_03]: she had a few properties, plus she was building the business with my dad.

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_03]: So she caught up quick.

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Like she just got things done very quickly.

[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_03]: And then it just went from there.

[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Then I think at one point she had 27 properties.

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_03]: And there was Airbnb before there was Airbnb.

[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_03]: She invested in a place on a lake and was renting it out through the paper.

[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Like just doing all these different things that, you know.

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I just think, I mean, here's the thing.

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_02]: So if you look at kids of today, they, I just don't see the sense of urgency to really put their lives together.

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_03]: But 20 years old.

[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, and they're living with their parents.

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_02]: But a lot of them has to do with housing prices too.

[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you look at housing, housing, you know, double the cost.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_03]: There's that other tick talker that not a property for $10,000.

[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, you have it.

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but if you buy for $10,000, we have to pay $10,000.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Just wait.

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_03]: This is the whole problem is that we're not challenging our children and

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_03]: off.

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_03]: My mom was challenging me and also teaching me how to buy property.

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but when I thought.

[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_02]: When I thought.

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_02]: When I thought.

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_02]: When I thought.

[00:07:15] [SPEAKER_02]: When I thought.

[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_02]: That time, you could buy a house for like $6,000 or $12,000.

[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_03]: It's that no.

[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_02]: When your mom was 18.

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_02]: When I when I was 18.

[00:07:28] [SPEAKER_02]: So they could buy homes for next to nothing and their wages.

[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_02]: See, wages happen.

[00:07:33] [SPEAKER_03]: When I bought houses, it was fast enough to not that.

[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Increasing slower than the housing prices are.

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_02]: So in other words, today's kid can't go.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_02]: He could go work all the jobs he wants or the jobs he could qualify for.

[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not.

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not.

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm telling you, you're not going to save money quick enough.

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_02]: You're rents or too high.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_03]: How much do you think kids make right now?

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_02]: How much do you think a kid makes right now?

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_03]: There's kids that are making millions of tall ones.

[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I know but I'm saying yeah.

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_02]: What we talked about.

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I'm saying.

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I'm saying.

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_02]: They need to be something different.

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_03]: No, you're making excuses for people.

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_03]: They're following into the system.

[00:08:10] [SPEAKER_03]: They're following into the system.

[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, all of our friends know this.

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_03]: They're not.

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Their parents aren't educating them on how to become entrepreneurs and how to get financial

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_03]: freedom.

[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_03]: You're making excuses.

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm telling you that kids are going through different jobs.

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_03]: And McDonalds or something absolutely they're never going to make the money.

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_03]: They're never going to make the money.

[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I'm saying.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_02]: That American Dream is going to affect your daughter.

[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to be a good non-law.

[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_02]: And gross slowly.

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_02]: It's usually a challenge.

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's a challenge.

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_02]: You're not going to go slowly anymore.

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_02]: You have to be 12 in their job in entrepreneur and start making millions by

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_02]: 10 year 18.

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Do you remember that?

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Do you remember what my mom did to me?

[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Do you remember what she did to me?

[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Which part?

[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, we had our business, right?

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_03]: We had our businesses.

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't, I mean, maybe you don't know but she challenged me to get a regular job.

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, I learned in a clothing store.

[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_03]: And I quit two weeks after because I knew that I didn't want to get caught in a system.

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't want to be told when to take a break, when to have my lunch, when to, I didn't,

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I couldn't do it.

[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_03]: And I was making less money than before.

[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay?

[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_03]: There was all these crazy rules.

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't have the freedom to speak with my clients the way I believed they wanted to be

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_03]: spoken to.

[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_03]: It was ridiculous.

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Then I also had a serving job as a waitress for a minute because she wanted me to try life

[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_03]: experience and try different things.

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure you can open up a business and start a business for some kids and run it for

[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_03]: them and they may not be interested and they may be more comfortable in a nine to five

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_03]: years or working at a Robins donuts or whatever these, you know, McDonald's.

[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_03]: But yes, they will not be buying a house.

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry to say and they may even be on part time.

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_03]: And they can't even rent that's a problem too.

[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_02]: They cannot make enough money to rent.

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_03]: So who's fault is that?

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Who's fault is that?

[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I'm just saying there's a lot of breakdowns here.

[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_02]: It's yeah.

[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Kids need to take the accountability to get into these.

[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_02]: All of us are it's our administration's fault.

[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm creating this type of inflation.

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_02]: It's brought us to the point where we just have to make so much money that inflation doesn't

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_02]: matter because a lot of these kids who want if you want to be a doctor today and they're

[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_02]: buckled down trying to go through eight years of school, they are not going to be able

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_02]: to afford to live or pay for their own stuff.

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_03]: But then you need some help.

[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Your parents also need to say, hey, because it's a lot of waste of money.

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_03]: There's probably what 30 years.

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'm not an R. You better.

[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_03]: That's 10,000 to 9,000.

[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Your university isn't a waste of money.

[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_02]: But that's for sure.

[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_02]: You want to be a church.

[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not saying you have to go to university.

[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not saying it's a waste of money.

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_03]: But there are some kids that are so unresponsible.

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_03]: They will take their parents money and just go to school.

[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't go to university for a long time, but I dropped out.

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_02]: But it's I think that going to university can be important for people.

[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Especially if you need to learn how to learn.

[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what you do in university.

[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_02]: To me, it's not about what you learn in there.

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_02]: It's learning how to learn in there.

[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, here's the thing.

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_03]: My brother, he was going to be in attorney.

[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_03]: He knew it. He wanted it.

[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_03]: And you know what he did.

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_03]: He worked his butt off until it killed them.

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_03]: So I mean,

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_02]: But see, but he didn't live in this time.

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_02]: What we're arguing about is that work wouldn't have been enough.

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, but do you know here's your daughter wouldn't have gone far enough to put him up in a rental property to be able to live in a living.

[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Actually, actually.

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm saying today he wouldn't his money wouldn't have been gone far enough for him to be able to pay rent.

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_02]: He'd had to live for a, what do you think he was paying?

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Or sleep on the house.

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I was just telling you that cost of living has gone up faster than wages have.

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_02]: So he would imagine being making $10 or $15 an hour.

[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_02]: But the cost of renting is much more than $15 a month.

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And he's saying that that's not available to everybody.

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, yeah, there's started business.

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Start a business, damn.

[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Start a business.

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the solution.

[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I'm saying that is the big, but it's becoming the only solution.

[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_02]: If you and it's not.

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, that's not true because he was making a lot of money on his second job, which was construction.

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_03]: But that's what killed him.

[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_03]: There was a work.

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_03]: It was a tragedy.

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm saying it's that it's becoming harder and harder to live out that situation.

[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, being able to work two jobs plus go to university plus pay for all your stuff.

[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_02]: It's almost becoming important that parents have to be a part of that because

[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_02]: inflation is taking all the costs of all the food, look at food, look at food.

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_02]: How are people going to eat?

[00:13:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Especially if you, I mean, you would be, you want them to eat healthy.

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't they don't you?

[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, what is the cost you seen our groceries?

[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_02]: We've looked at them.

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_02]: We've gone, oh my gosh.

[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I yesterday have, I thought somebody took half of our groceries because I looked outside

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_02]: and I was like, I saw the, I saw what it cost on Instacart.

[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, I think it was $350.

[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And I looked out and there was like one little bag of food out there.

[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Instacart, we don't even use it.

[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Or whatever it was.

[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Whatever you used.

[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_02]: And there's a hundred, there's one little tiny bag of clothes that are food out there.

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Money is not going as far.

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not getting, I mean, they don't want to live in the hood.

[00:14:22] [SPEAKER_02]: They don't want to walk out to being shot at or robbed.

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, when I, I can remember when I wanted to go to, you know, I was delivering

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Spas out of high school.

[00:14:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, it was working at Ride and then I quit and started delivering Spas because

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_02]: it was pain so good.

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_02]: And I got my own place.

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I was living in an apartment but it was a nice apartment complex.

[00:14:44] [SPEAKER_03]: So how am I choreo you paying?

[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, shoot.

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, what were you being?

[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe 600 bucks a month.

[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_02]: That's cheap.

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_03]: You're probably in the ghetto.

[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_02]: No, it wasn't the ghetto.

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a nice place.

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I'm saying to say.

[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I have much was like 20,000.

[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like 20,000.

[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_02]: You ever bought 40,000 bucks?

[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh my gosh.

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Do you see my first apartment at 19 years old?

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_03]: It was a $400,000 apartment.

[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_03]: But I've been working since I was 16.

[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_03]: My mom taught me how to make the money.

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Now, I didn't pay 400,000 dollars.

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_03]: She taught me how to buy something for closure.

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, you have to equip your kids with tools.

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but what I'm saying is that you got to listen to the, this is a different time.

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Today, I'm talking about you can buy something.

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, at foreclosure that place wouldn't be $10,000.

[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_02]: In today, that foreclosure would be $140,000.

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And at foreclosure, that's what I'm saying.

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Wait, what did I say that I bought it for?

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_02]: You told me $10,000.

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Nine of her bought it for $10,000.

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_03]: What did you buy for?

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I thought that's what you said, or maybe I was mistaken that with another story.

[00:16:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so what did you buy it for?

[00:16:03] [SPEAKER_03]: $189,000.

[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_02]: So okay.

[00:16:06] [SPEAKER_02]: And then you have to tell you because I have bought a house.

[00:16:09] [SPEAKER_03]: You have to put a deposit down.

[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know how different it is.

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Honestly, it's not that hard.

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I know how it is in Canada, but if you buy it, if you buy it, listen to me for one second.

[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how it is in Canada.

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_03]: You don't buy it in a full.

[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_02]: You do hear.

[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_03]: No, not there.

[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, 1,000 percent here.

[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_02]: If you buy it in auction, you have to come with a cash yours check and ready to pay for it on the spot.

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_02]: So you have to buy 100 percent cash.

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_02]: That's an auction.

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Otherwise you can, you can, here's the thing.

[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_02]: You can finance it.

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_02]: So anybody with halfway decent credit can go in there and finance.

[00:16:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I can't credit that is the one thing my mom's problem.

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_02]: The problem is that when even when you finance it, you have to put, as a first time

[00:16:47] [SPEAKER_02]: buyer, they should, they wouldn't have to put as much down.

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_02]: But they would still put a sizable amount down.

[00:16:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe 20 or 30.

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I had a size of 20 or 30.

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I put way more than that.

[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but you know how long it takes to make 20 or 30,000 dollars and save it up if you're

[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_02]: not living at home.

[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_02]: It's really hard.

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I wasn't living at home, Dan.

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I'm saying, save in 20 to 30,000 dollars, you know, it's going to take you a while.

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to take you a while.

[00:17:12] [SPEAKER_03]: It took me a while.

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_03]: That's why I waited until.

[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_02]: It took you like three years.

[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_03]: That makes sense.

[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_02]: So we're taking, so we're taking about three years to be.

[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_02]: But then when you work in a dog that has pizza either on top of that, your paint, well,

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_02]: that's what I'm saying.

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_02]: You said you were working at a clothing shop and you were working with it.

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I quit my mom was trying to teach me a lesson that the grass is not greener

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_02]: on the other side.

[00:17:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to explain to you, but you want to argue with me.

[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not arguing.

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_02]: You're not.

[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_03]: You're telling me it's impossible.

[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_03]: And I've never said that.

[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I never said it's impossible.

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I said it's harder to do this.

[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not giving them excuses because I did it too.

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And so did you, but what I'm saying is it's harder today than it was 40 years ago.

[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh my gosh.

[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_02]: So when our parents did it, it was,

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I feel like maybe our parents came up a little bit harder and I know their parents came up.

[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I know my mom came up a lot harder.

[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, my dad's parents.

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_02]: They were, they were lying about their aunt.

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_02]: They were lying about their aunt.

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's hard to get into world war 2.

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Dad, my mom came here with nothing, zip-o, okay?

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_03]: And she would always challenge me if I didn't like something.

[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_03]: She wasn't like, oh you have it so hard.

[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_03]: It's all dear.

[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_03]: No, she'd say you do better than me then.

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry.

[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I can't make excuses for anybody.

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_03]: You make your bed.

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_03]: You make your bed.

[00:18:41] [SPEAKER_03]: You plant your flowers.

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_03]: If you don't water them enough, they're going to die.

[00:18:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I get that, but what I'm saying is,

[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_03]: you're telling me that our children today are not soft?

[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm not saying that at all.

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_02]: They're really saying it.

[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_02]: But there's a lot of great kids out there too.

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, there's kids out there.

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I think there's more kids today than any other time on the planet

[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_02]: that are under 18 that are becoming millionaires

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_02]: because they're doing it at 16.

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Daniel's done it all.

[00:19:11] [SPEAKER_03]: You could be watching this guy going,

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_03]: really?

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like this little voice, small thing.

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_02]: These little TV YouTubers, who's that little girl with the red hair

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_02]: whatever her name is?

[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_03]: At least she's a multi-millionaire.

[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_03]: No, it's a little bit older one.

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm so sorry, but if I just, I'm so sorry.

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I am so sorry to say this,

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_03]: but it's never been easier to make a money than right now

[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_03]: than right now in our life,

[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_03]: even with real estate,

[00:19:40] [SPEAKER_03]: even with, it's never been easier.

[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay? You could be if you put your mind to it 100%.

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_03]: You could be an influencer.

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_03]: You can literally share a link out there,

[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_03]: share a link on an Amazon,

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_03]: what is it called?

[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Like Amazon, Gini is fine,

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_03]: and you share it out there to your audience

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_03]: because you're helping uplift them in a way

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_03]: where they can clean their house faster,

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_03]: or maybe furnish their house for less finding dupes.

[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_03]: These people are making millions of dollars just on links.

[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay? It's never been easier.

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_03]: You cannot tell me that it's harder and woe is me as the world.

[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_03]: You have to find ways to make money.

[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm telling you that because the young people

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_03]: don't want to work out there,

[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_03]: you can go buy a business.

[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay? You can buy a business.

[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_03]: You could take a business off of someone's hands

[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_03]: because someone doesn't feel like working.

[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I can't.

[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not saying you're not right.

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what that's saying.

[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what that's saying.

[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, things are different.

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Things are more expensive, but it's never been easier.

[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And the American dream, well, the American dream is alive and kicking.

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_02]: But what I'm saying is that what they're being taught

[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_02]: because their parents didn't grow up like that.

[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_02]: You remember they didn't have the internet.

[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_03]: That would have been a thing they need to educate themselves.

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_03]: They can't just tell their kids,

[00:21:23] [SPEAKER_03]: you've got to go work at Domino's Pizza and you'll be fine.

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_02]: So we're saying they're all I'm saying is that

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah, but that's not going to happen unless there's some movement

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_02]: to make that happen because what their parents are telling them right now

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_02]: is go to college, get a degree, get out and go get a great job.

[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_02]: They're coming out and they can't even find a job with their college degree

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_02]: and I was watching a video of kids getting there.

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm telling you that most kids don't even have

[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_03]: these kids don't even have a financial education early on,

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_03]: which is what we're really pushing with our kids,

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_03]: and they don't totally get it yet now either.

[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_03]: But there's 15 and 16 years old,

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_03]: 15 and 6 story, it's really late at night,

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_03]: 15 and 16 year olds that don't even understand

[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_03]: financial education, they don't get it, they don't get it.

[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's terrifying.

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, do you want to jump right into the tactical solutions?

[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Because that's one of the things.

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's education.

[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a really awesome education.

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a really awesome thing to do with money, how to save

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_03]: and just all the things you're going to have to prepare for.

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_03]: And you have to start young and you have to teach your children

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_03]: financial literacy.

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's what parents have to start doing.

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_03]: They do that in school.

[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Then they're not going to learn in school.

[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_02]: You're absolutely not going to learn in school.

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_02]: There's nobody in school is going to teach it to you.

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And unless your kids are lucky enough to, you know,

[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I don't know if I would have fallen into it,

[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_02]: except for that I had just always been attracted

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_02]: to having my own business.

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'd always kind of had that in the back of my mind.

[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think entrepreneur, entrepreneurial,

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_02]: the entrepreneurial mindset is not something

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_02]: that you're just gifted with.

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Something has to spark that interest in you and it should be your parents.

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I'm hoping that parents out there,

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_02]: especially the new parents, you know,

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_02]: us parents, parents that are raising kids today

[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_02]: can start now, start why your kids are young

[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_02]: because they almost have to start younger with a problem.

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_02]: The parents are starting when they're,

[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, they're...

[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Are you encouraged entrepreneur entrepreneurship?

[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Encourage that.

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_03]: But everything is a business.

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, we were just listening to the doctor

[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_03]: that, and I'm so tired,

[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_03]: but there's the doctors that work for the government right.

[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_03]: But then there's the doctors that go into their private practices.

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_03]: That's a whole different ballgame.

[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, you need to let your kids know about that

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_03]: before they just fall into, you know,

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_03]: working for the government because if you start a practice of your own,

[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_03]: that's a business.

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, it's a doctor.

[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, it's a surgeon, but they have their own practice.

[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, when we were in Beverly Hills

[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_03]: within that multimillion dollar office,

[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_03]: he didn't work for the government, Dan.

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_03]: He gave birth to all those celebrities, babies

[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_03]: and he was in business for himself,

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_03]: delivering babies.

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, he was at Cedar Cedar.

[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_03]: But he was an entrepreneur.

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, I don't know that he started.

[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_02]: We don't know his story.

[00:24:54] [SPEAKER_02]: We don't know that he started off like that because he probably

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_02]: could have started working with a doctor.

[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_02]: He started working with a doctor.

[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_02]: He started working with a doctor.

[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I know I did that.

[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying that the mindset has to change

[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_02]: and it's not, it's not, in some ways it is easier.

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_02]: But in other ways, it takes a lot to get even.

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, to get to the point where you can pay for your groceries

[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_02]: and get a place to live,

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_02]: it means that you really have to take it seriously.

[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And the problem is, I don't think it's to there.

[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Here's the scary thing.

[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_03]: That everything's moving really fast.

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_03]: The tricks and the lessons and everything that my mom taught me,

[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_03]: it's all getting outdated really quickly.

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_03]: So if you're a parent and you don't have the ammo

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_03]: to give to your kids, that it's a scare.

[00:25:50] [SPEAKER_03]: It's going to be a scary world for them.

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_03]: And you need to know a little bit about everything

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_03]: to equip your kids.

[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, no.

[00:26:00] [SPEAKER_03]: And parents are so, what is it?

[00:26:05] Not.

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I think they always think,

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_02]: well they're going to learn.

[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_02]: They'll figure it out.

[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, and the truth is that they may not.

[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_02]: They might not.

[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_03]: That's not fair.

[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, if right now there's some great schools out there,

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_02]: luckily is that there is a balance if you go after them.

[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_02]: If you go after them, you know, if you go out and find these schools.

[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I was talking about brother yesterday about sending his son,

[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Mason loves,

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_02]: loves,

[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_02]: well he loves,

[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_02]: he loves electronics and he loves robots and things like that.

[00:26:36] [SPEAKER_02]: He loves building stuff.

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And so I was telling him, you know,

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_02]: you should put him in like a,

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, one of those robotic schools

[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_02]: and they have him starting at a young age.

[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And I thought that, you know,

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_03]: that's cool.

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I could find some place close to him.

[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_02]: So I looked up and found this place and send it over to him.

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, what a great opportunity that you can send your kid

[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_02]: at like, you know,

[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_02]: 12 years old to like this robotic school to learn how to build robots.

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Well my mom said at 13 years old.

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Because that's what we're going to be doing.

[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Your robots are coming.

[00:27:08] [SPEAKER_03]: That no, that's cool.

[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_03]: But at 13 years old in Europe,

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_03]: people were on their apprenticeship doing a,

[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_03]: figuring out what they were going to do.

[00:27:19] [SPEAKER_03]: And I think that's the one gift that my mom gave me

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_03]: was having the chance to try everything early on in life

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_03]: and including me in business.

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_03]: And some kids, you know,

[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_03]: you can start a business for someone.

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_03]: And if you see that they're not into it

[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_03]: and they're not going to treat it seriously,

[00:27:40] [SPEAKER_03]: then they're not entrepreneurs.

[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_03]: And they're just,

[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_03]: they're going to have to take a different path

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_03]: and they're going to have to figure it out.

[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_02]: You know,

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_02]: you're advancing quick, you know?

[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_02]: So if you don't,

[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_02]: if you don't get your kids like AI is going to take

[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_02]: between AI and robots,

[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_02]: our world is not going to be the same place in 20 years.

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just not.

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean,

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_02]: they're talking about building billions of robots,

[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_02]: billions.

[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they're going to unemployed.

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And people,

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_03]: that's,

[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah, so what does that look like?

[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_02]: And you have to get ahead of that.

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_02]: You know,

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_02]: you have to,

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_02]: you're going to have to decide.

[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_02]: The medical field of the stupidity.

[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_03]: You have to be valuable to offer.

[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Well,

[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_02]: that's why the medical field will still be there.

[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_02]: They'll probably, you know,

[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_02]: on some level,

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_02]: still be attorneys,

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_02]: although I wonder because,

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_02]: you know,

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_02]: now with AI who knows,

[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_02]: who knows where that's going.

[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_02]: But you're still going to have,

[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_02]: and you're going to have robots.

[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And so you're going to have to decide,

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_02]: am I going to be the builder of robots?

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Well,

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's one thing that you can guarantee

[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_02]: is going to be here.

[00:28:38] [SPEAKER_02]: That job is going to be there.

[00:28:40] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's a thing.

[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_03]: You have to promote practical education

[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_03]: and skills.

[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_03]: And you have to encourage your children to pursue education

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_03]: and career paths that align with the market demands.

[00:28:50] [SPEAKER_03]: So that makes sense.

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Push them into what is,

[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_03]: what's happening.

[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_03]: What's current?

[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_02]: But I think one other thing that we should mention,

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_02]: kind of digress here for a second,

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_02]: is that,

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_02]: you know,

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_02]: our parents or maybe our parents parents were excited

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_02]: at that time.

[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, my parents parents were baby boomers.

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_02]: So they came home and they were having kids at

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_02]: the same age.

[00:29:15] [SPEAKER_02]: and you're just around the age.

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And you're just more and more.

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_02]: You're seeing so many people.

[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_02]: They're deciding not to have kids.

[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I have kids when they're deciding not to.

[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_03]: And because the food is basically poison nowadays,

[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_02]: you can't have kids.

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm telling you there's a lot of people trying and they can't.

[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, they're young,

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_03]: and they can't.

[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_02]: They can't have.

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_02]: It's been a couple studies that were coming out like,

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_02]: keep all talking about.

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_03]: It's getting worse and they're projecting that it's going to be even worse in the future.

[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_02]: That's crazy.

[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_03]: It's insane, but here's the thing.

[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_02]: But I think it's also, it's not just that though.

[00:29:55] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a level of kids not wanting to have, there's a lot of kids out there not wanting

[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_02]: to have kids.

[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_02]: That's confusing.

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of kids out there not wanting to have kids.

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of young adults that are not wanting to have kids until they get into

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_02]: the 30s because they're trying to get their career straight.

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_03]: And then they definitely can't have kids.

[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's different.

[00:30:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure how I land on that because I remember there's something about being

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_02]: the older you get, you have a different outlook on parenting a little bit and you almost

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_02]: become a better parent because there's a lot of people who have kids when they're young

[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_02]: and I'm sure the kids grow up great.

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_02]: But there's something about when you have kids in your 30s that you just have a different

[00:30:46] [SPEAKER_02]: outlook on.

[00:30:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like if parents were a little bit older, it's because they've been struggling for

[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_03]: so long to have babies that it didn't come easy and now they cherish the moment.

[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_03]: I know why.

[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like that's 100% of the people.

[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but don't you want you to agree with this?

[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, as you look to yourself when you're 18, you're a different person when you're

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_02]: 18, then when you're 30.

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you're just a different person.

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_03]: But I wanted, I really wanted kids.

[00:31:17] [SPEAKER_03]: I just couldn't have kids for the longest time.

[00:31:20] [SPEAKER_03]: I wanted kids.

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_02]: But as a more grown-up educated person, you're going to raise and be a better parent.

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_02]: You're going to raise and it's different way.

[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_03]: And you'll be a better parent.

[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I promise when you have kids, it depends what influence you have around you.

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_03]: But everything is going to change.

[00:31:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, look at your knees.

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, she had the talk with me about should I wait or should I have them now?

[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_03]: I said if I could go back and I really could.

[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_03]: If I wasn't struggling with infertility and all that other stuff, I would have had them

[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_03]: younger.

[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_03]: And I just would have had as many.

[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, we're still trying to have kids.

[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_03]: But it's just if that blessing comes then great.

[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_03]: But I told her, like I would have had them younger if they could have.

[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_03]: And they're doing great too.

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_03]: And I just feel like when you have the baby, you're going to change.

[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay?

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_03]: You're going to stop drinking.

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_03]: You're going to stop.

[00:32:21] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, whatever.

[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_03]: If you're responsible, then great.

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_03]: But for me, it just, it wasn't serving me.

[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not serving my health.

[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not serving my body.

[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not, what is it going to do really?

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I think there's some other, undertones out there.

[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Some feminism, undertones that are causing women to believe that they don't need

[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_02]: to have kids right now and they want to have their own career.

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, even Elena Cardone touched on it.

[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_03]: And I was caught up in it too.

[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_03]: I wanted to be that strong independent.

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_03]: And I could do it myself.

[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Look at me, I got multi-million.

[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just, it's a trickery because you can build something together with a spouse.

[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_03]: You can find someone that has everything that you want it to be.

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_03]: So strong.

[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Find that man that can be that strong person for you.

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_03]: I would like nothing more than to be the feminine person that can fall into someone's

[00:33:24] [SPEAKER_03]: arms.

[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, just tell me, hey, I can take care of everything.

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_03]: I got this for you.

[00:33:30] [SPEAKER_02]: You see that a lot of TikTok, I mean TikTok or I keep saying TikTok.

[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_02]: TikTok or YouTube families that are building their own channels and businesses right now.

[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_02]: You see that more and more.

[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_02]: They start, they're younger and they're having kids and they're growing these businesses

[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_02]: together.

[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's possible.

[00:33:48] [SPEAKER_02]: It's possible.

[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_03]: And a lot of them were in what 18 and a basement suite somewhere.

[00:33:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, you do start somewhere, listen, when I first moved out, it wasn't pretty.

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_03]: It wasn't the best place but it was a beautiful home, but it was a basement suite.

[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Then I went to an apartment.

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Then I bought my own apartment.

[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_03]: I also had the property, but it was collecting rent for me.

[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, like, it just did all that.

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_02]: But all I'm saying is that going back to our earlier conversation where we were getting

[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_02]: heated and I was ready to throw the mic.

[00:34:28] [SPEAKER_03]: No, I'm just saying don't make it.

[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I just, I'm just saying, I can't know what I'm saying is that.

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Imagine being in that place that you were right there.

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, doing what you're doing, you said things aren't weren't as pretty, right?

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Imagine if everything was twice as much.

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_02]: So imagine all the things that you could barely afford because it wasn't very pretty,

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_02]: like you were describing just hold on.

[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It was imagine if it cost twice as much as it did.

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Now how much harder would have been for you.

[00:34:58] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what they're going through today.

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_02]: So they're having to figure out a bigger play now today.

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_02]: What I'm trying to say is they can't be okay with just making $100,000.

[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Right, they have to make just one job.

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_03]: 500,000 a year to be able to survive.

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_03]: My investment from the money that I made from a young age, yes, it accumulated.

[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't start making money at like 18 years old.

[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_03]: I was working in my mom's store, right?

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_03]: So I was working there.

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Then I had my other job.

[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't just have one job job, I had several jobs and my mom also had several jobs.

[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_03]: I saw she's never been on welfare.

[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_03]: She's never been on any business.

[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm saying is you're comparing apples to apples but it wasn't.

[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_02]: It's apples to orange is right now because what happens is today with inflation, groceries

[00:35:56] [SPEAKER_02]: are more expensive?

[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Your making money is more expensive?

[00:36:00] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm not trying to make excuses.

[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Every thing is more expensive.

[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, everything's more expensive.

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Just like our parents from my parents to me, it was more expensive.

[00:36:14] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, no.

[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_02]: From my, oh yes, it was.

[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_02]: No, here's what I'm saying.

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I'm trying to explain to you.

[00:36:20] [SPEAKER_02]: This is the economics of it.

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Your parents to you, your wages went up with the cost of living.

[00:36:28] [SPEAKER_02]: So yes, it cost more but you were making more at that time.

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_02]: You weren't making 10 cents an hour.

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_02]: You were making more an hour.

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_02]: The difference is that now the wages are not going up.

[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_03]: You're still making 10 cents an hour?

[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, no, but the cost of living is going up faster than wages are where it used to go

[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_02]: up the same back when our parents were born.

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_03]: But there's different jobs.

[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Now, no, no.

[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_02]: That is the whole cause of this conversation.

[00:37:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Is what I'm saying is that the cost of living is going up faster than wages are

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_02]: which that wasn't happening for our parents to us, that wasn't happening.

[00:37:10] [SPEAKER_02]: It's now happening today more than any other time in the world.

[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And so that is harder.

[00:37:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And yes, the solution to it is these kids have to learn how to do things that are going

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_02]: to make them an abundance of money.

[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_02]: So they have so much money that they don't have to worry about the gas prices.

[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_02]: They don't have to worry about food.

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_02]: They don't have to worry about cost of living because they're making so much money.

[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not their problem, but other people are still going to have those problems.

[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I just, I wouldn't want to be Gary V.

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Sitting in this room right now because if he says a 20 year old asks you for $20.

[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_03]: That's how them were to go.

[00:37:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I did that.

[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I did it.

[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I just don't, maybe I'm not seeing maybe I'm just it is three in the morning here and

[00:37:58] [SPEAKER_03]: maybe I'm just not seeing I die but I think I was raised in a way where if I made an

[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_03]: excuse, I would get a Hungarian slipper with a spoon and I just I wouldn't I wouldn't be

[00:38:09] [SPEAKER_03]: getting sympathy.

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_03]: She would just be like so how are you going to fix it?

[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_03]: So how are you going to fix it?

[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_03]: How are you going to fix it?

[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I did it.

[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_03]: And I just didn't even matter and I'm like okay well if I become an actress well

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_03]: if I work eight hours after eight hours, I get double time then I get triple and then

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_03]: golden time and you know like the hours weren't it wasn't like I was working at the clothing

[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_03]: store.

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_03]: The clothing store lasted two weeks serving.

[00:38:38] [SPEAKER_03]: It was great sometimes you make some tips but I had to figure it out.

[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_02]: If your mom was like what?

[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Why do you come down so hard of me when I come down on Daniel?

[00:38:48] [SPEAKER_03]: What do you mean?

[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_03]: No, I'm not on Daniel and I'm hard on destiny too.

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Not hard on them but I challenge them because if if I'm soft on them all the time not

[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_03]: soft on them but I have to challenge them because as soon as they get out in the real world

[00:39:08] [SPEAKER_03]: it's going to be it's going to be it's relentless and they need to be prepared and

[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_03]: need to understand and not easy.

[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Trust me as a parent it's scary.

[00:39:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah I believe that we can still the kids of today they have so much at their fingertips

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_02]: if they just take life series now I don't know you know I mean I think some great kids

[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_03]: out there today too and what the girls she just didn't have really anything to say

[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_03]: about the kids that are in their 20s 19 to 25 and neither does Gary Vee.

[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Gary Vee has nothing good to say.

[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_02]: But she's also a young adult with...

[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_03]: She was that age.

[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah and she has a great YouTube channel and she's probably doing pretty well for herself.

[00:39:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Right but she's pointing out at her fellow brothers and sisters that they're not doing very well

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_03]: and they're and she's asking them to wake up and figure out what your parents were doing

[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_03]: right because everybody is failing right now.

[00:40:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to say every but I really don't think that everybody is failing right now

[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_03]: because I see a lot of successful people.
