- 6:35they
- 6:35feel
- 6:35guilty
- 6:35not
- 6:36giving
- 6:36at
- 6:36all.
- 6:36So
- 6:37they
- 6:37live
- 6:37in
- 6:37this
- 6:37constant
- 6:38state
- 6:38of
- 6:38no
- 6:38peace
- 6:39and
- 6:40see
- 6:40the
- 6:40real
- 6:40issue
- 6:41there
- 6:41Isn't
- 6:42giving
- 6:42or
- 6:42not
- 6:42giving.
- 6:43It's
- 6:43the
- 6:43absence
- 6:44of
- 6:44that
- 6:44clear
- 6:44limit.
- 6:45It's
- 6:45an
- 6:45absence
- 6:46of
- 6:46that
- 6:46boundary.
- 6:48And
- 6:48when
- 6:48I
- 6:48helped
- 6:48them
- 6:48set
- 6:49that
- 6:49boundary,
- 6:50the
- 6:50resentment
- 6:51faded
- 6:52and
- 6:52they
- 6:52started
- 6:53to
- 6:53see
- 6:53things
- 6:53clearly
- 6:54again.
- 6:54And
- 6:54guess
- 6:55what
- 6:55happened?
- 6:55The
- 6:56relationship
- 6:56improved
- 6:57because
- 6:58expectations
- 6:59got
- 6:59honest
- 7:01again.
- 7:01The
- 7:01issue
- 7:02wasn't
- 7:02generosity.
- 7:03It
- 7:03was
- 7:04the
- 7:04absence
- 7:04of
- 7:05those
- 7:05boundaries.
- 7:05They
- 7:05say,
- 7:06you
- 7:06know,
- 7:06good
- 7:06fences
- 7:06make
- 7:07good
- 7:07neighbors.
- 7:08Well,
- 7:08good
- 7:09boundaries
- 7:09make
- 7:09good
- 7:10relationships.
- 7:11So
- 7:12here's
- 7:12today's
- 7:12question
- 7:13we've
- 7:13got
- 7:13to
- 7:13answer.
- 7:14Are
- 7:14your
- 7:15financial
- 7:15choices
- 7:16coming
- 7:16from
- 7:16love
- 7:17or
- 7:17from
- 7:17pressure?
- 7:19And
- 7:19that's
- 7:19not

- 7:19easy
- 7:20thing
- 7:20to
- 7:20embrace
- 7:21today,
- 7:21is
- 7:21it?
- 7:21But
- 7:22are
- 7:22they
- 7:22coming
- 7:22from
- 7:23love?
- 7:23Are
- 7:23they
- 7:23coming
- 7:23from
- 7:23pressure?
- 7:24Because
- 7:24that
- 7:25answer
- 7:25reveals
- 7:25whether
- 7:26generosity
- 7:26is
- 7:26healthy
- 7:27or
- 7:28is
- 7:28it
- 7:28quietly
- 7:29being

- 7:38love,
- 7:39they
- 7:39actually
- 7:40preserve
- 7:40it.
- 7:41Love
