We do have another question from Tucker, if you're ready for it.

Okay.

How should service members that have retirement at a much lower age than normal look at retirement

and the amount needed at retirement?

Yeah, so service members are really, really interesting. look at retirement and the amount needed at retirement.

Yes, so service members are really, really interesting.

Your first question is, how should people that are retiring early think about their retirement?

And then from where I am today to where I ultimately want to be one day. So I know where
