  So many people are asking me, like, "How, how do I live my dream, Gary?" And, you know, I don't have time. I have mortgages and bills and responsibilities in my job. I don't have time for my side hustle, my Twitch channel, my Instagram account, my Shopify store selling hoodies. And I keep getting to this new place, which is, "Talk to me about your bills." Like, "Why'd you buy an apartment that stretches you? Why's your car so fancy? Like, why do you need the new Gucci every time? Like, why are you, why are you going out Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night? Like, why are you going to Coachella? Like, why, why are you going to Avengers opening night and buying the biggest piece of popcorn and candy? Like, the answer to all of your questions is not how much money you make or how much time you have. It's what you're spending your money on.

Nobody that tours the world and gets to dance and open for Beyonce and make $580 a year and fucking live it and go to fucking, you know, Monaco on the fucking weekends. Like, it's not how it works. Everybody starts at zero. Some people start at different places. But anybody who does it for themselves has to sacrifice. Like, yes, like, move. Like, my city's expensive. Move. Like, my car payments are high. Sell your car and buy a piece of shit car. Take the bus. This is dreams we're talking about. We're talking about dreams.

  We're talking about like, "I wanna be a professional gamer." We're talking about, "I wanna get paid $200,000 to give a speech." We're talking about shit that isn't normal.

  Jewels require sacrifices. People don't wanna sacrifice. Like, for some reason, DNA, parenting, circumstance, I'm on the extreme end of, "Everything's my fault." "Nobody owes me shit." "I shouldn't get anything unless I bleed for it."
