Once I hit $2,000, we got the drummer.

Now we got the bassist.

Now we got the lead singer, you know?

And so it's important to put these little milestones on.

So we feel that we, so we experience the progress.

Traditional budgets usually have a common pot at the bank.

So it's a separate documentation, usually a spreadsheet that says, I'm going to save X number of dollars for this wedding, say $50,000 and so forth.

And then we have a singular pot where the money's stored.

Maybe it's in a money market or some form of investment, which is fantastic.

Here's the problem.

We have to enforce willpower not to take from it.

And we will justify taking from it.

We'll resolve, I should say, the cognitive dissidence that we have when we take the money by giving some form of justification.

So let's say in my pot I have $200,000, $50,000 for one kid's wedding, $10,000 for auto repairs and home maintenance and different things.

And now something comes up and my roof is leaking.

And so I gotta replace the roof.

And I'm like, well, I got a pot here of $200,000.

Yeah, some of it's for the wedding, but the wedding's not gonna happen.

And I'll start justifying it and I'll replace that roof.

And now I'm back to square one.
