[00:08:46] Noor: We had two kids. I work from home, so we were able to keep them home from childcare for 10 months for each of them. And I calculated. It saved almost $30,000 between the two kids, but yet we still can’t DoorDash or get cleaners. And I’m like, ah. Parenting, working, sometimes I just want life to be easier. I want to sit down and watch Netflix. I want to have somebody else deep clean the house, things like that.

[00:09:12] Ramit: Yeah.

[00:09:12] Noor: Whereas he does not lose stamina and is so laser focused on the long-term goal, which I don’t even know what that is because he doesn’t want to retire early. He loves working. So I’m like, what are we doing this for?

[Narration]

[00:09:26] Ramit: We’ll be right back. Now back to the show.

[Interview]

[00:09:30] Ramit: Jibran, are you a machine?

[00:09:33] Jibran: At times.

[00:09:34] Ramit: You remind me of me.

[00:09:35] Jibran: At times, yeah.

[00:09:36] Ramit: I can just work through it. What’s the problem? I’ll just grind it out.

[00:09:39] Jibran: Do it, yeah.

[00:09:40] Ramit: Okay, all right.

[00:10:23] Noor: And also he didn’t feel it because he was still working from our house. His life wasn’t interrupted or as tiring as mine.

[00:10:31] Ramit: Because of childcare?

[00:10:32] Noor: Yeah. And nursing throughout the night and then signing on at night to work. He was scrolling and I was writing reports.

[00:10:39] Ramit: You said we can’t order DoorDash. Can you?

[00:10:45] Noor: I think so, but I think it’s hard for me to do something without– and maybe that’s a me thing– feeling like he’s like, yeah, let’s do it.

[00:10:54] Ramit: You could open up your phone, click the Thai thing. What would happen if you did that?

[00:11:00] Noor: I think I’d feel guilty if he wasn’t on board, even for something that’s 40 bucks. I don’t know.
