It was ironic that when we first became my wife and I became aware that we thought about retirement, even just thought about it, BUSSQ were offering a financial services. So we thought, let's take advantage of it. But I have to say that itis a very daunting and humbling experience to try to go and show someone your financial position because you never think that you have enough money to retire. And you don't want to be seen to be, you know, one of these people that, you know, well, what am I going to do? So, we bit the bullet and we just thought, okay, we're going to do this.
