Answers & Discussion
Automatic savings on payday was the habit. I stopped waiting to see what was left at the end of the month because there was never anything left. Moving money first made saving feel like a bill I owed my future self.
A weekly money check changed everything. Every Sunday I look at balances, upcoming bills and spending. It takes 15 minutes, but it stops surprises. Before that, I avoided my accounts and hoped things worked out.
