And so when you realize how close you are to a financial tipping point, it really does make you go, OK, I need to make my foundation on a front.

I'm a lot firmer than what it is because these are just normal things that happen in life.

Right.

And I actually it's funny you said that, Mike, because I use that example in the book.

I talk about the check engine light.

And, you know, you know, like I do when we see that light, it is just like, oh, no, this is not the time, not the day.

You know, we're already creating a situation in our head where whatever is going on is going to cost us thousands of dollars.

And so most of us, Mike, we kind of ignore the check engine light.

We're we're hoping it was a fluke.

We're hoping the next time we get in the car that it won't light up.

And, you know, we kind of put it off and put it off.

And it's the same thing with our money.

For most of us, there are because the check engine light, what is it?

It's a it's a signal.

It is a warning that says, hey, there's something going on.

You need to take a look under the hood.

It's the same thing with our money.

There are blinking signs in our money every single day that we experience that are telling us, hey, you need to take a closer look.

You need to go under the hood and see what's going on with this.

But we ignore it because something deep down inside knows I'm going to have to sacrifice something to fix this.
