And if you can just keep that ship running and like John said, enforce those boundaries.

I mean, this is not going to be an easy season ahead, but I think for you finding those areas of the things that you can control and the things that you can be responsible for when you put your head down on your pillow at night, that's going to be life-saving for you.

And to know that you're going to be mama bear with these kids and say, Hey, there's a lot of crazy going on, but I am like the source of like steadiness and peace.

That's the best that you can do for yourself and for your kids right now.

All right, right back at it to James in Detroit, Michigan, the Motor City.

What's going on, James?

Doing good.

How can we help?

No, you can, you can do it as you go along.

Um,

You can do it as you go along.

So let's say, what month are we in?

April.

So let's pretend that for April, you've paid all of your minimums, you've satisfied everything else on your budget that you need to satisfy, and you've got $500 left.

You would then say, all right, just like I budgeted and just like I planned, I'm going to put this extra $500 on my smallest $10,000 debt, and now it's $9,500.

And then you just go along like that.

And the reason for that, at least in my mind, the reason for that is number one, each payment that you make, it's it's more exciting for you.

Right.

Every time you pay down that debt, you're like, yes, I see the balance go down.

You get like that shot of adrenaline.
