I'll come on the back end 49 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 5: and talk about that partuct that might. 50 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 1: Be an audit audit red flag. 51 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think one of the ways that you 52 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 4: can always obviously set up a custodial accounts in the beginning. 53 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: What that means is right, it's kind of joint ownership. 54 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 4: You can control it intil the kid reaches a certain age, 55 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 4: and so deciding what do you want to do for 56 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 4: the kids. 57 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: So do you want the kid to go to college? Right? 58 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 4: Do you want to say able to buy their first 59 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 4: property at a certain age. I like to start with 60 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 4: the end in mind, with the target, and then from 61 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 4: there we can figure out the best investment vehicles are 62 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 4: the best options. One of the things would definitely be 63 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 4: opening up a custodial broker's account. Another thing would be 64 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 4: also getting a life insurance policy on them as well, 65 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 4: because insurance is based off agent health and when you 66 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 4: do design it the right way, there are ways where 67 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 4: you can have something called high early cash value, or 68 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 4: you can have ten pays or twenty pays and while 69 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 4: your commissioned as an agent. If you get compensated that way, 70 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 4: it goes down. That is the best thing for the client. Right, 71 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 4: Those are two fundamental things that I would do because 72 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 4: I mean at that age, right, being able to get 73 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 4: a policy and getting a custodial account. 74 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: And people don't realize the number one. 75 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 4: Thing in investing that you have you have it to 76 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 4: your advantage is time. Right, So being able to get 77 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 4: that started, you know, literally from day one, is a 78 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 4: super advantage for sure. 79 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: About five twenty nine, I'm not against five twenty nine. 80 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: I mean there's some tax benefits from it, but they 81 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: just became sexy again. 82 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, they did because you can convert them to now. 83 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I'm not against I think five twenty nine 84 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 4: are great vehicles. I just like to optimize for flexibility. 85 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 4: I think that we just live in a very different environment. 86 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 4: I think when I was in school, when I was 87 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 4: in college, and that you hear things like, oh, that's 88 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 4: not a professional, that's not a career, and people might 89 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 4: not be going to college in the same way that 90 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 4: they are now with the advent of certain technology. 91 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: But I'm not against them. I think they could be 92 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: you could turn. 93 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 2: To it yeah, so just because I want to just 94 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: consto it before you jump outmah agmah preferential, or because 95 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 2: like you said, you're thinking of the end in mind, 96 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: and there's different levels of control you can have right 97 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 2: at eighteen, Yeah, controls over. 98 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: So what's your think? 99 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 4: I think if you're passing down the methodology, right, that's 100 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 4: that's that's a big We didn't talk a lot about it, right, 101 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 4: but like a big part of all of this is 102 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 4: as you're doing, as you're setting this stuff up, like 103 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 4: you don't want to just do what you do, what 104 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 4: you're you didn't have for your kids. You want to 105 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 4: educate them so they have the methodology and the mindset 106 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 4: on why you did it right. And so for me, 107 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 4: I think, even though you're giving up control at eighteen, 108 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 4: if you did what you were supposed to do in 109 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 4: terms of like advising them at every step, especially once 110 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 4: you were able to put them on payroll, Hey, this 111 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 4: is why we're doing it. 112 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: This is what we're going to use the money for. 113 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: I could have just given you the money. 114 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 4: But the reason why we're putting you on payrohch I'll 115 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 4: let you expound upon reason why we're putting you on 116 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 4: payrolls because this is what it means for our business. 117 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 4: And this is tax tax free income to you. And 118 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 4: now we can invest into the rock Diray and now 119 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 4: to stick your thunder. 120 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: But you leave something on the both for me, bro, 121 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: So I think it's for me. 122 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 4: It's about the education, right, I mean, control is control 123 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 4: is great, but at the end of the day, like 124 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 4: I was mentioned, I was talking to this lady on 125 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 4: the plane who has adult children, and she was just like, 126 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 4: your kids are gonna be your kid. You can only 127 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 4: do so much, so much right in my opinion, You know, 128 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 4: when the first eighteen years of life, if you did 129 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 4: what you were supposed to do, they're gonna take what 130 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 4: they're supposed to take and they gonna do what they 131 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 4: want to do. So I'm personally I don't need control, 132 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 4: at least me personally beyond. 133 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: The age of eighteen. 134 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, And one of my favorite strategies that I don't 135 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 5: think enough people utilize is hiring their kids into their business. 136 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 5: What most people do is they make money, they pay 137 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 5: taxes on that money, and then they pay their kids, 138 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 5: which is okay, it's a good start, but I think 139 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 5: it's a better way to do it. You make money first, 140 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 5: then you hire your kids into your business. And when 141 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 5: you do this, you're able to pay each of your 142 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 5: kid I'm sure I'll have to hurt this before up 143 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 5: to fourteen thousand, six hundred dollars each per child, and 144 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 5: your business receives the fourteen thousand dollars tax deduction as 145 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 5: if you pay anybody else. And your kids can receive 146 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 5: this fourteen thousand, six hundred dollars tax free because the 147 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 5: standard deduction wipes out their income. They don't have to 148 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 5: file a tax return. You don't have to send number to 149 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 5: TA ninety nine, you have to send in W two. 150 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 5: None of that. They get that fourteen thousand dollars tax free. 151 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 5: And then if I were you, they don't, I would 152 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 5: take seven thousand of that fourteen thousand and put it 153 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 5: into a roth Ira for them because they probably need 154 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 5: all the money right now. And if you do this 155 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 5: from when your kids of age, I recommend, don't you 156 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 5: know you can start hiring your kids and your business 157 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 5: at their eighty seven because that's when they can actually 158 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 5: do work, you know, answer the phones, clean up the 159 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 5: office stuff like that. If you do this from when 160 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 5: your kids at age seven to when your kids at 161 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 5: age seventeen. That's the cut off or hiring your kids 162 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 5: into your business. They will have about one hundred and 163 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 5: thirty one hundred and forty thousand dollars of tax free 164 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 5: money in their wroth. 165 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: Ira. 166 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 5: Not to mention you, they've been learning from you as 167 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 5: a boss for the last ten years. So not only 168 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 5: are you teaching them, are you paying them for the work, 169 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 5: but you're teaching them entrepren neural skills at the same time. 170 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 5: So I think this is a great way to save 171 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 5: money or taxes of your business, pass down tax free 172 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 5: wealth to your kids and help them get a head 173 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 5: start on entrepreneurship at the same time. And I think 174 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 5: that more people should take advantage of, you know, hiring 175 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 5: their kids and their business and giving them the ropes 176 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 5: the supervaluble. 177 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: At seventeen, they're probably going to make the biggest financial 178 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: decision other than buying the house, which is am I 179 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 2: going to school? 180 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: Yeah? 181 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 5: And now you get your own money to make that decision. 182 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 5: True now because you can go to school on my 183 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 5: time for one hundred thousand but no, no, you got 184 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. You can use that 185 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 5: for college or what I'll plan to do for my kids. 186 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 5: I would say like this, this is the c capital 187 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 5: you need for your business. We don't need to go 188 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 5: find outside funding or find investors. You have one hundred 189 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 5: thousand dollars to put towards that business idea. I'll be 190 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 5: the CFO of the company. I'll help you to puy 191 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 5: the money into your business. But I want my kids 192 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 5: to have options on what they want to do. Instead, 193 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 5: happened to take the traditional route. 194 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: So what's the conversion that you can find twenty nine 195 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: to a row? 196 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, so with the five to twenty nine plan, 197 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 5: the problem that I used to have with it is 198 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 5: that that money needs to be used for college or 199 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 5: you or you have to pay taxes on the earnings 200 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 5: from that money. And let's face it, you know, eighteen 201 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 5: years from now, like college might be less of a 202 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 5: thing than it already is today. 203 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: And so if they. 204 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 5: Don't want to go to college, then you have to 205 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 5: now pay taxes on that money. But the rule is 206 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 5: today you can convert I believe us up to thirty 207 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 5: six thousand dollars of five twenty nine money into a 208 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 5: wroth ira and not have to pay any taxes on there. 209 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 5: So like if your kids at eighteen say, hey, I 210 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 5: don't want to go to college, you can convert that 211 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 5: money to a wroth Ira and they can continue to 212 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 5: grow tax free, which is a huge flexibility option for 213 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 5: kids now. So now five twenty nine, planers like, hey, 214 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 5: if you don't want to go if you don't want 215 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 5: to go to college, I can either change the name 216 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 5: to another child, or I can convert it to a 217 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 5: wroth Ira and they could continue growing tax free forever, 218 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 5: which is pretty big. 219 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. 220 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 2: And so this is I mean amazing information. One of 221 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 2: the things that people always ask us about is asset allocation, right, 222 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 2: and so in order to do these things, to have 223 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 2: these strategies, they have to know how to spend, how 224 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 2: to say where they put. So what is the recommended percentages? 225 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 2: I guess case the case, but just an overarching theme 226 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 2: of what asset allocation will look like. 227 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, even just even just even cash flow personal finance 228 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 4: every Yeah, So I mean, just to your point, depend 229 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 4: on how much money you make, do think you need 230 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 4: to be paying yourself fifty percent of that for like 231 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 4: for general expenses. But the average person, I would say, 232 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 4: let's keep your necessities right, You're you're housing your cars, 233 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 4: all that stuff, builds utilities, but ideally around fifty but 234 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 4: no more than sixty percent, right, Like between that fifty 235 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 4: to sixty percent range is pretty decent. Then fifteen to 236 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 4: twenty percent of your money for like you you know 237 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 4: you you're you're once right, being able to travel, dining out, 238 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 4: entertainment like those things that could be very variable, right, 239 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 4: And then another fifteen to twenty percent for allocated for investing. 240 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 4: Now as your income increases, right, we want those percentages 241 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 4: to flip. 242 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: Right. 243 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 4: So for example, like you know, they said the average 244 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 4: retirement age is sixty five, but when you really the math, 245 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 4: the reason why the average retirement age of sixty five 246 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 4: is because the average person makes fifty thousand dollars in the 247 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 4: United States, right, meaning they did everything right, they can 248 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 4: maybe allocate ten percent towards investing in saving, which means 249 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 4: that's gonna take them thirty plus years accumulate a million 250 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 4: dollar nest egg. But if you make one hundred thousand dollars, 251 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 4: you've doubled your income. And if you just doubled your 252 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 4: savings rate from ten percent to twenty percent, now you 253 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 4: can put away four times more money. 254 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: Right, So I think one of the. 255 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 4: Keys is as your income increases, strategically increasing your savings rate. 256 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 4: Because here's the thing, even if your lifestyle does increase 257 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 4: as you make more money, as long as you've increase 258 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,599 Speaker 4: your savings rate, you're always guaranteeing and banking banking in 259 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 4: the fact that I'm now going to increase my investing 260 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 4: as well. But to start out, I think those are 261 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 4: great percentages. But as your income increases, I think you know, 262 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 4: of anything above six figures, I would try to get that. 263 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 4: I would try to get those necessities down to like 264 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 4: closer to fifty percent, maybe even less, and then continue 265 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 4: to increase the saving and investing allocation so that you 266 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 4: can just get to your target faster. Because retirement has 267 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 4: nothing to do with age. It has everything to do 268 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,599 Speaker 4: with assets. It's a number. You don't have to be 269 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 4: sixty five, right, It's like, oh, I got a target, 270 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 4: now this is the number. How can I get there 271 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 4: as fast as possible? You get there as fast as 272 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 4: possible while being a good steward over your finances. 273 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 5: How do we get tricked into thinking that sixty five 274 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 5: is like now I want to do whatever I want 275 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 5: to do in life, like you know, like my knees 276 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 5: barely work like like, So we always tell our clients, like, 277 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 5: retirement is not an age. 278 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: It is a number. 279 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 5: The faster we get you there, the faster you can 280 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 5: like do whatever you want. So it's about more, you know, 281 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 5: financial freedom than it is about retirement, because it's just like, 282 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 5: how when at what point do I have enough money 283 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 5: when my investments can pay me out to live my lifestyle. 284 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 5: And at that number, if you want to stop working, 285 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 5: stop working. But I just think that we as a people, 286 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 5: as a coach, you need to get away from that 287 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 5: sixty five and now I can live my life. Life 288 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 5: is meant to You're meant to do more than that. 289 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 6: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child 290 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 6: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from El Salvador 291 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 6: accused of murdering a Texas man. A Venezuelan charged with 292 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 6: filming and selling child pronoc in Michigan.
