And on the subject of vacations, I want to introduce you the concept of a workcation. A workcation is when you are travelling for work, so you are on the company's dime, whether you are self employed, but you're expensing it. So you work for a company that will pay for it, and then you use points to bring your family with you. Okay, so I'm in Rome. Say hi, honey. Hey. And the kids are here, and I had to be in CAN for work, and then we were already here, so he said, let's go to Italy for a few days and then we will fly back home. My flight is on the company's dime. The family's flight is booked through points. Husband is self employed, so he has points too. It works. So two times a year we do a crazy trip all through points, typically attached to a work trip that I have. I'm speaking in Orlando in the fall. Kids are coming, going to Disney World. That's how I travelled growing up. We travelled all over the world with my dad because my dad was working, we would just go with him and stay. I distinctly remember my parents being like, at dinner, oh, put this on one receipt and put the rest of the family food on the other receipt. Like, I remember that. And that was how I was raised. So it's always been a part of my life. Having work patients. Let me know. This is like a weird middle class thing. I don't know. Tell me.
