Transcript
When you save your first 10 k, you feel like, okay. I got some motion. But you really still gotta be careful because it's like $1 spent from that 10 k, now you're back at... Saved at four figures. And the goal is to increase our figure, not to decrease it. When you get that 20 k, it's like, okay. You no, temptation tier coming in. You start feeling like you can go to the mall. You know what I'm saying? You wanna take a little trip. But you really still gotta be careful because like I said, the goal is to increase our figure, not decrease it. Now when you get to your 50 ball, $50,000, this is where the the real temptation really tier kicking in because it's like, you could fly anywhere in the worse. You rank catch the next flight. You wanna go to Louis, Prada, Marnie, whatever you wanna do. You wanna take a girl to a nice steakhouse. You know, you're able to do that and pay your bills and be comfortable. We wanna be careful because the main goal is to increase our figure, not decrease it. So you still at $50,000 are stuck at five figures. Once you get to a $100,000, now you feel like we made it. Now you got that 100 ball, now you didn't put yourself at six figures. Now you feel like there's no way that I can't touch a million dollars. There's no no. There's no way I just tuck six figures again even at a 100,000. If you spend a dollar of that, you have to be careful because now you will be back at five figure save. And the goal is to increase our figure, not decrease it.
