When I first started I kept a pretty good chunk of cash on hand - I've always been a bit of a money hoarder anyway - but at some point when the business ran itself I didn't have to do that any more - and, in fact, just hanging on to cash at .005% interest was counterproductive to building wealth.

Pretty cool.
