And where I'm from, if you graduate from high school and you didn't sell dope, you didn't get locked up, you didn't get a girl pregnant, like, you didn't get killed, by the way. That was the big thing. People would give you money, like that was it. If they got you through to high school, like, that was an accomplishment. And So I got $2,000 from my high school graduation. And so I took that $2,000, and I would hear people say, well, you want to be rich, you got to invest in the stock market. I started investing, know, researching what do people that don't look like me, specifically white people, how they make money is always talking about the stock market.
