I'd like to ask you, Brent Bowers, what is the biggest risk?

I think the biggest risk is me dying. And my children and my wife getting taxed to death with this real estate that they're probably going to sell because I didn't set up a plan with trusts properly. I didn't have proper life insurance, like it talks about this, this great book that I read called, become the Rockefellers and using a whole life policy to, you know, be your own bank. So I think that's a huge risk. And it's like, I'm just recently learning about these things and implementing these things, to where I can fund this policy for, you know, maybe I get a chunk of money 10 20,000, I can fund this policy, and now my, it'll pass to my family tax free. And then oh, maybe I need that 20,000 Later, I can borrow like 90% of it at two or 3% interest. And that 20,000 is still making the 6% interest with the dividends and all this stuff. So I think that's a huge risk. Business owners not having that and talking to you there and about that sort of thing. Because the Rockefellers set it up to where it passes on. That's why they still have money six generations later, and the Vanderbilts don't really have as much money as they used to. So that's a huge risk, taxes, and death, to the things that we're all pretty much guaranteed.
