Thank you so much.

That's right.

Yes.

That's why we tell you that's why we're always giving people every dollar, because the moment that you start plugging those numbers into every dollar and it happens just the way Dave said, you start to see, oh, my gosh.

Number one, you see your income in one place for the first time and you realize, oh, I do make money.

Yes.

And then you see the margin, or if some of us, a lack of margin.

And for the first time, we see it for what it is in facts.

Okay, I'm $400 over, or I'm $700 over.

And then when you see the first step in solving a problem, Dave, is identifying that there is actually a problem.

So when you actually see it, okay, I'm over budget, I'm in the red.

Even though that doesn't feel nice, at least you can recognize the problem.

And now you get about the business of actually solving the problem.

Yeah, it will.

Right, because when you don't know, your brain fills in gaps with all sorts of stories and ideas and fears and all sorts of things.

He's collecting them.

That's right.

Alrighty, today's question comes from Paul in Ohio.

He says, I'm debt free and almost have my emergency fund in place.

Once that's done, I want to upgrade my vehicle and I'll pay cash.
