So I'm familiar with the baby staff. I try to be a good steward of them, but I seem to continuously

sabotage myself. I just need to know, how can I be more diligent in, I guess, following them.

How do you sabotage yourself?

I make that budget.

I am on it every day checking, making sure I'm tracking my expenses.

And then one of the family members that I have a need or I personally will be like,

well, I guess I can go out of town and go and do that and so then I have to recalculate everything and then I push my so you're getting stuck on on the

meticulous numbers and one thing throws a wrench in the plans and you go oh my gosh I failed again

oh no I think it's deeper than that I think the budget's like uh it's like a, it's like a toy. It's like something, it's

just something for you to fiddle with. It's almost like a fidget spinner. But your real

identity is if any family member calls for any reason, I'm the hero and I'll save that. Or I'm

only going to live once and so I'm just going to go do whatever I want to do.

I'm going to take care of right now, me, and forget about next year, Marine.

I guess, I guess, well, if the family calls me, something, I'm going to cut from my budget line that I have a sign for me.

I mean, mind you, it's like minimal for my personal expenses for the month.

Why are you putting your oxygen mask on them before you?

You're not in a place to be giving right now.

When you say family, are these your children?

Is this a spouse?

Who's calling you up going, hey, we need to spend this?

It's, yeah, adult children.
