Compound Grief

When it comes to financial wealth, right, there's at least two ways to grow wealthy. One is this: You have an inheritance or a lump sum dropped on you. So, you're poor one day, and you have millions in the bank the next day. There's another way to grow wealthy

And it's by taking advantage of compound interest

Put $1,000 in the bank when I'm born

put $100 in the bank every week

And when I'm 30, even though there hasn't been any lump sum dropped, the interest of those small deposits has made me rich in wealth. Grief is the same way. You can lose a loved one and have this big lump sum of grief dropped on you, or you can

grow up on the south side of Chicago and just live your life with these small deposits of grief

that are so regular that by the time that you're 30, you find yourself very rich in grief, even though both of your parents are still in living

So I'm really jacked up right?

It's a nice way of trying to say it, so
