Saving $10,000 is a goal.
That's it for today.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

PICK 1 important thing you want to quit or bring into your life in 2025. Think hard about a system that will make it impossible or inevitable.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Ask yourself:
Keep in mind that, there is always a system for any problem. You just need to be willing to think hard enough and BE WILLING TO MAKE SACRIFICES.

Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
