Being a young kid who's made, quote, unquote, 20 grand, you feel like, oh, my God, I made so much money, right? And I have an early birthday. My birthday is in January. So right when my birthday happens, I'm still in high school. So I open up an account, put the money in. I take that $20,000 account to 35,000, like a month and a half, two months.
