<p>In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase &quot;that kind of money.&quot; We use this phrase in a humorous way to talk about really, really wealthy people. You might be wondering, Bob, why don&#39;t you have a Ferrari? Why don&#39;t you have a Lamborghini?

A person who was going to give up but didn&#39;t because of your inspiring videos must be very comforting to you.</p><p>I love how you make your videos and keep them real. I don&#39;t realize that I&#39;m improving day by day, sharing with this Canadian guy who feels close to me. On the other hand, I agree I agree that Lionel Messi is the real deal. As an Argentinian, I felt very happy that you take him as an example of the real deal.</p><p>And my response, cool that you&#39;re improving day by day. That is... That is kind of the secret. Slow and steady wins the race. So thanks, Silvia, for that comment. You know, for me, I don&#39;t really think too much about the fact that lots of people...</p><p>Sorry, I got distracted for a sec. Should I have done this video about privacy fences? This is definitely a privacy fence. Let&#39;s go, let&#39;s go see. Okay, so this, in Canada, is what we would call a privacy fence. This person definitely doesn&#39;t want other people looking in their yard.</p><p>I would build a fence l
