    • Key Quotes:

    • “If you can't pay for it twice. You can't afford it. So if I'm buying something, and let's say it costs $1,000. If I don't have $2,000, I really can't afford that. Because now I'm living at that 100%. And you should never live at 100% of your total debt.” - Dr. Billy Williams
    • “If you guys really want to control your money, really think about those four disciplines: self-discipline, accountability, automation/technology, and delegation.” - Dr. Billy Williams
