121. The Lazy Person's Guide to Financial Success: Organize and Automate Your Money
Set Yourself Up For Success
Sammie and I had our money set up for success years before we fully understood personal finance. There are ways to set up your money so that you don’t
We look at automating your money, setting up different sub savings account or “buckets” for your leftover money and creating a money ritual for when you receive your paycheck.
Looking back, I remember that my mom bugged me for six month after I started my first full time job to set up my 401K. That seemingly small thing allowed me to put money into my 401K for five years without even thinking about it. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was setting myself up for the magic of compounding. When I ended up leaving my job, I was grateful that I had that money set aside for my retirement.
In this episode, we had too much fun discussing ways to organize your money and set yourself up for your future. Let us know what you think! Do you have anything special set up for your incoming money?
