And I suspect it reduces the pain.

I've had people, yeah, you know it's there, but it does reduce some of the pain.

And I've noticed some people, like, say their tax bill is $100,000 and they saved $110,000.

There's $10,000 extra.

They feel like they're getting a bonus.

That's a good thing.

This sounds like it's a shell game.

And logically, it's a shell game.

But it's actually a behavioral management system.

And that's what people don't understand.

Sure.

It's based upon Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

So Maslow identified that you and I have—

basic physiological needs to survive.

We need to be breathing air right now, drinking water, eating food.

So, like, if someone came running in and threw a bag over my head that's plastic and starts choking me out, interview's over.

I'm struggling to get out of this thing because my life's in jeopardy.

And what Maslow pointed is no matter what state we're in, if the foundational needs aren't being met, we have to revert to it.

But once they're adequately met, we move to the next level, which is safety needs, shelter, and so forth, and then belonging to be part of a community, just like you have here, and then

Ultimate self-esteem or self-actualization, I should say, is the highest.
