Speaker 2:

If you were able to save$50,000$100,000 a year, you're doing really, really well. The important thing now is to funnel that into investments that just blow it, like most people out there, like a lot of high income earners, they just go and blow it. Or put it into the lane 401k, where they're just getting standardized investments that have high fees that, you know, or going through a certified financial planner and doing that type of stuff, they're not investing directly in the assets. So, I think that was my key. I was lucky and I was just, pretty frugal guy, able to save my money. And I did that for, a good half a decade where it was extreme saver mode. And then, eating ramen noodles at the time, but, I followed it into the right type of assets. And then in 2015 16, started to transition into, the multifamily, the syndications and private placements, because it was just a lot more scalable, mostly because I started to meet other purely passive investors, and they were heading in that direction.
