Well, George, Dr. John, very good to talk to y'all, and Dr. John, about halfway through your new book.

And so far, so...

Well, I appreciate that, brother. Thank you.

Good thing. Yeah. Hey, just a little back story. We've been at the Baby Steps since about 2010. So we became

everyday millionaire, almost textbook. Within 10 years, you know, we became millionaires and paid

off our house, the whole nine yards. Started. Amazing.

And, of course, with no... And so forth. But recently, I'd say within the last two or three years, we started noticing old relationships kind of fizzling and building new ones have not been so great as a family. And it's sort of an unintended consequence of, I think, how we live our lives.

Even though we don't brag about it, I mean, certain things have come up over the years like, you know, paying for our kids fully funding their college through 529s, paying for cars with cash, you know, paying off our house and renovating our houses with cash.

You know, in certain circles, that information has spread like wildfire,

but in a negative way.

And like I said, we're not going out of the way to brag about these things, but we start to see a trend of folks kind of backing out of our lives.

And, you know, we get the comments like, oh, y'all are hanging around rich folks now,

or we're in different circles and so forth.

And, you know, we're just trying to figure out how do we deal with that, you know?

I know it's not a terribly bad problem to have, but still, we're just fixing the change.

Yeah, it can be a devastating problem to have.

The two words coming to my mind are the title of Mel Robbins' new book.

And my thought is, let them.

Just let them.

If people don't want to be your friend anymore because you're successful,

then I would suggest they may not have been your friend in the first
