Over the next few months, small things shift.

The car that was starting to feel a little tight gets traded in for something just a little bit nicer with a slightly higher payment, but it's fine.

They can afford it now.

They start ordering delivery two or three nights a week instead of for one, because honestly, who has the energy to keep cooking every single night?

They upgrade a streaming package.

They finally get that gym membership they've been talking about, but they're not going to it every single day.

None of it by itself is reckless.

None of it is even, I'll be honest with you, wrong.

But six months later, John sits down to actually look at the numbers and here's exactly what he found.

$8,000 more a year coming in and in the account where their savings used to slowly grow month over month, nothing changed.

Same number as it was before the race.

The extra income didn't disappear because of one big mistake.

It disappeared in a hundred small, reasonable sounding decisions at a time.

Not because they were horrible with money.

Just because they made a lot of small decisions based upon the raise.

There's a name for what happened to John and his family.

It's called lifestyle inflation.

It's what happens when your income goes up, but your habits stay exactly the same.

So every extra dollar quietly finds a new place to live before you ever get to say what actually matters.

Here's a number that should stop you and really make you think.
