realizing it's real money

[whaahhahahah]

for the past couple years, i've played poker as my main job. played almost solely heads up, did very well, never had much of a problem keeping focus or staying emotionally controlled.

i decided to get a teaching job for this fall. before it would take about a 5k loss to get me annoyed, but now, since i've started teaching, anything over a couple hundred dollars seems to bother me.

anyone else experience something like this? any suggestions for reframing/forgetting about the money?
