- 4:21times
- 4:21to
- 4:22use
- 4:22savings
- 4:22accounts,
- 4:23certificates
- 4:23of
- 4:24deposits,
- 4:24maybe
- 4:24money
- 4:25market
- 4:25accounts.
- 4:26Because
- 4:26you

- 4:26to
- 4:27risk
- 4:27money
- 4:27that

- 4:28soon.
- 4:29Go
- 4:29back
- 4:30to
- 4:30that
- 4:30example
- 4:30I

- 4:31about.
- 4:32These
- 4:32folks
- 4:33are
- 4:33going
- 4:33to
- 4:33be
- 4:33putting
- 4:33their
- 4:33children
- 4:34into
- 4:34school
- 4:34in
- 4:34just
- 4:35a
- 4:35couple
- 4:35years.
- 4:36They
- 4:36didn't
- 4:37have
- 4:37time
- 4:37for
- 4:37a
- 4:38quick
- 4:38win.
- 4:38Yeah,
