So we need to make sure that we’re putting a margin of safety and that we’re actually investing in doing things and building wealth and trying to. A level of income and a level of wealth that aligns with what God has in store for us in our lives. Right. And not chase what’s on social media, not just looking out there and seeing all the stuff and all the flashiness and going out there.
