You retire on your memories!🧠

You know, when you finally retire, you know, have this kind of idea that I'm gonna be on Carnival Cruise and I'm gonna be heliskiing and wave running. And I'm telling you, I've been around and I've seen these tour buses, etc. It's not like that at all. You mainly retire on your memory, you mainly retire on the investments you made in the memory bank, and you withdraw on the memory dividend in retirement. So when people say, oh, what are you doing spending this money? Got on this boat, you're in Greece, whatever. I'm like, I'm investing in my retirement right now. And you know, there's a story about that with my dad that hit me really hard. You know, my dad got to the point where he was a pretty stubborn guy. So his health had deteriorated, he would refuse to leave his room, you know, he had to have physical therapy. And one One of the gifts I thought I would give him is an iPad. I got an iPad and he played at the University of Iowa Hawkeyes from '59 to like, I believe, '62. And he was on the Big Ten championship team. And he, you know, he had all these friends. And so I digitized these old football reels and put them on an iPad. And when I came to visit him, I was like, here, Dad, I digitized— I want to show you this. I gave him the iPad and he sat there, he was laughing and he was crying and reminiscing and calling out guys' nicknames and watching plays and go Scoot and, you know, all these things. And I was just like, holy shit, this is what you retire on.
