Hi, Tori, your question for Dr. John.

Hi, Dave.

Thanks for taking my call.

I guess it's just kind of more of a simple question.

So basically, long story short, when I was growing up, my mother wanted to Thanks for taking my call. I guess it's just kind of more of a simple question.

So basically, long story short, when I was growing up, my mother wanted to make sure that I knew the budget.

And her method of teaching me the budget was slapping me back the head, yelling, screaming.

And then when I didn't do it the way she wanted to do because I had my needs. And I mean mean I was a high school college student at the time

she'd blame my computer and take it away and just years later that's translated to me kind of

drawing back and just not wanting to do a budget like I work with my boyfriend so let me get this

straight every time you heard the word budget you got smacked and you don't like budgets I don't blame you

no way it's like Pavlov's dogs right tori you are

absolutely normal you're a normal human being i would hate budgets too if every time i said budget i

got hit i don't want to play nobody wants to do a budget i will never touch why nab ever again because of it

why nab gives me the creeps

reminds me of my toxic mother

my abusive mother

okay let's reframe this all right
