So we're like $2,000 a month, but $6,000 this year. I'm like, the stats are what they are. In 6 months, 2/3 of them stop. And I'm like, what?

Look, why not? That jackass can do it. Y'all can do it. I just happen to be one of those jackasses, you know what I'm saying? And y'all probably want to be too. You just have to be willing to go through that period. Life is difficult. Raising kids is difficult. Getting a degree is difficult. Starting a new job is difficult, you know. And if you don't get through the difficult here, do you think you're going to avoid difficult when you walk out the door? No.
