Put your financial life on autopilot as a form of 'forced' saving.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Automating some of your finances can be incredibly convenient and is a great way to save time, but automating everything makes it too easy to go on autopilot and forget to pay attention to your personal finances.
I advise everybody not to save: spend your money. Most people save all their lives and leave it to somebody else. Money is to be enjoyed.
I like the word 'autopilot' more than I like the word 'self-driving.' 'Self-driving' sounds like it's going to do something you don't want it to do. 'Autopilot' is a good thing to have in planes, and we should have it in cars.
Often, psychological laziness will have you switch your life over to autopilot and fall asleep at the wheel rather than stay awake to what will fulfill your heart's deepest desires and your soul's purpose.
I save money when I'm working so that I never have to take a role simply to pay the bills.
It's real difficult to save when you don't have any money.
Pull in your belt, spend less, and reduce debt.
You cannot just keep borrowing more and more and keep spending more and more without eventually having a day of reckoning.
Manage your spending by creating and sticking to a budget.
The only way you will ever permanently take control of your financial life is to dig deep and fix the root problem.
