My problem is my husband was out of work for two years.

He invested in something that just didn't work out.

And so he had to go back and get a job.

And we put all our life savings everything retirement everything into it so

oh gosh Stacy yeah yeah what happened how much are we talking and what was this investment

so um he actually um invented a product and it's still underway and EPA just kept putting it back

and putting it back and putting it back

and putting it back. So it's kind of stuck with California's EPA and he just thought it would

be like, oh, this will be a five-year plan. Me, I'm more realist. I'm like, this is going to take

at least 10 or 11 years. Well, I was right. And it's not

fun of being right. And so he had to go to job. He's 61. Nobody wanted to hire him. And he's a

smart guy. Somebody finally did hire him. He's making $135,000 a year. Good. And how much money did you

guys take? How much money went into all of this?

Um, we put a million into it.

Was this cash or did you take on debt?

No, we took everything out. Yeah. So you still owe a million dollars in debt?

No, no, no. We don't. Thank God. We only owe, um, we only owe, um, we only owe $80,000 in debt. We have a house. Um, it's, um, did he borrow on the house at all?

No. Okay. No. We kept up separate. I'm, I'm, How long ago was this?

Well, we've been in it for about 10 years, 11 years, yeah.

So over the course of that amount of time, it added up to a million.
