this is the ramsie call of the day part of the ramsie network joining me today is ramsie

personality dr chondeloney all right today's question comes from bill in rhode island bill says i'm

37 and i really found myself in a lucky spot.

Just three years ago, I was making around 50 grand, and now I'm clearing over $120,000 as a

cloud engineer. Rain Dancer. He's a rain dancer. Correct. Just making sure you know what that is.

My wife and I combined make about $180,000.

And to be honest, for people like us, man, I hate that language, but I know it.

I feel it in my guts.

It's a bit overwhelming.

We have student debt, which we are jacking hard, and we have recently been writing checks

towards that debt that used to be what we made for an entire month.

My question is, how do you psychologically process this

amount of money growth and don't feel shaken up when paying off large sums of debt?

I also know more is coming as my wife and I are committed to not allow, I'm not even at a

management level, which on average comes with a 30% increase. My wife and I are committed not to allow our growth and income to become the life sucker I've heard about on this show.

I get this in my bones because I grew up with not a lot and money was a big struggle at my home.

And Dave, you and I've come to you for wisdom on this. Because money was for those people.

And vacations were what those guys did.

And those shoes were what they and those cars were for them.

And it was, it's, it's bizarre finding yourself in those shoes and then saying, what do I, what do I do?

Because I'm not them.

I'm one of those, right?
