Thank you. We didn’t start until we were in our 40s. It’s admirable seeing so many young people getting started in their 20s and 30s. We put in a lot of sweat equity and still maintained a decent work life balance with our full time work and family. It’s certainly a journey! We feel that it’s one worth taking.
