So, when I went through these, I was like, I definitely identify the most with money vigilant.

Which probably sounds weird cuz you're looking at me and you're like, I see jewelry and I see makeup and hair and all this. I'm going to be really honest with you guys. I spend nothing compared to how much money I have to the degree that when I had a hundred million dollars net worth, I didn't even want to spend over a couple million dollars on a house. In fact, I rented for 3 years at that point in my life and didn't even own a home. And that is because it's the constant anxiety of like never feeling secure even when you have plenty.
So, Alex actually knows this about me, which is a terrible habit, but when I feel like I'm not making as much money or less profit for a couple months, even though it affects nothing about my personal life cuz I don't even take money from my business, I just start to spend less money. I don't look at things, I don't buy stuff. I tell them I'm like, don't buy that. What are we doing? I tell my whole assistant team, I'm like, ah, we don't need that. No, let's cut here. Let's go through our our finances and cut stuff that we don't need.
I realized it was a pattern that I had in my past that I was bringing into my current day life that wasn't serving me. And so, something I tried to start doing the last few times that's happened where I've just felt that urge to spend less money, I go spend more money. It's probably a worse behavior, but it's telling my brain like, "Listen, you're going to listen to me. This is irrational. I'm not going to listen to you." And so, I will spend money [music] even when I have that impulse not to to teach myself it's okay because >> [music] >> the evidence shows it is and whatever's happening in my brain has nothing to do with what's happening on the outside.
