Yeah.

But if you have some skill, like a company will hire you, you might be like, "Hey, you have good customer service skills.
38:59
Come here, sell my product." Okay, cool.
39:02
That skill is there, and there's a value to that skill to you as an employer, and there's a value to that skill to me, to selling it to you as an employer, but I don't have the capacity to sell that to the public, scale it, and, and know how to do that.
39:15
So I either have to earn more skills by going into that company and saying, "Can I learn new things? Maybe I'm good at service, but put me in sales.
39:22
Like, let me become a better, more versed person." A- and that transition occurs even as you go from a job to, like, self-employment, which is like: "Oh, well, you know what? I have an idea.
39:33

... and explain, why are leases a huge scam?
34:13
Okay.
34:13
So leasing is a huge scam, because you're buying the worst depreciating cycle of a car.
34:20
What that means is, when you go do a lease, they give you a down payment and they give you a monthly payment, and they tell you that monthly payment can be tax written off, so it makes sense for you to buy that car.
34:29
The problem is, if you do the math on the down payment and all the fees you paid, by the time you own the car and the mileage you put on, this will tell you that over the course of the three years, two years or 12 months you own the car, you lost, for example, on a Lamborghini, anywhere from $20, $30, $40, $50 grand, depending on what kind of car you bought.
34:45
So think about that.
34:46
You drove the car with limited number of miles, 2,000, 3,000 miles, whatever, over the course of three years, and you lost $50 grand no matter what.
