The feature was, man, you're so good at living on less than you make, so good at saving, and now that you made it, it is a bug that we need to debug.

What's underneath all the scarcity mindset?

How do I, you know, kind of unlock this abundance mindset now that I actually have it?

Nothing is on fire.

And yet I always feel like something's on fire.

That might be part of your wiring.

I mean, you're in public safety.

Today's question comes from Grayson in Maine.

I'm having trouble with baby step two.

I've saved the thousand dollar emergency fund, but can't seem to make any headway on paying off our debt.

I have three daughters under 13.

It's difficult for me to go fully scorched earth when I want to still give them a decent childhood and provide the things they need.

How can I stop feeling stuck?

What a good dad.

Wow.

Okay, so I think the issue here is we are pinning getting out of debt and not spending money to bad childhood.
