So if my 18-year-old daughter was spending 40 percent more than what my husband and I were giving her, and she didn't do that just this month, but she did it next month and the next month and the next month, and finally my husband and I said we are just not going to bail you out anymore, we are just not going to continue to finance the overspending that you are doing, and she said to me, mother, we need to align our solution with the problem, in other words, you need to keep giving me that money because it is really not a problem yet. I would say I think you have a problem today.
