This is a great point. This commenter says, in my retirement, I plan on starting a small business, basically. Sort of like a kitchen table business, it sounds like, which is a great way to spend time if you enjoy that sort of thing. I did the same thing. It started one way and ended another, so right after I retired, I sort of freaked out and felt like I needed to be doing something. So we bought this house in Texas and turned it into an Airbnb. And I thought, that'll be one of the things I do because I've got to be doing. And what I found, weirdly, was that I really liked the hospitality part of it. We use the house a few times a year, so we're not trying to make a million dollars on it. And so we usually just rent to people that are moving into the area and need a place to live. They can stay in a place for a month or two while they close. So it's really low hassle and the people are always super cool. And it turned out I've really loved it. Otherwise, it would have just been another job I gave myself. But what you're referring to, I think it's a great idea for a lot of people, especially people that need to be a little busy and are just trying to find a gateway to relax without going and getting a new job. Right? Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. And so I love that idea of like starting a small business. You know, for me, it was the B&B. It's not super complicated. And it turned out I ended up loving just the management of it. And for you, it's going to be the skin care business. And I think it's a really good idea. Congrats on thinking of it.
