Chapters
I'll never forget I had a client that came in, Wall Street guy making legitimately millions a year and he couldn't go to McDonald's.

But if you're always chasing something and spending money on ridiculous things, that's when it's only going to lead to frustration. I'll never forget, I had a client that came in, a Wall Street guy making legitimately millions a year, and he couldn't go to McDonald's. He couldn't afford to go to McDonald's.
