Can all agree that few things are more stressful than money?

Between paying bills, investing for retirement, and saving up for a rainy day, personal finance can feel like a full-time job.

Today, I want to talk about how to take control of your finances without feeling stressed or overwhelmed.

🤔 There’s a steep cost

With 78% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck and increasingly at risk of losing their jobs, it’s more important than ever to take control of your money.

But taking control of your money comes at a steep cost. The cost isn’t just the time spent making sure you’re doing everything you need to do — it’s the feeling of stress and overwhelm that comes with it.

You constantly wonder to yourself, whether consciously or unconsciously, if you saved enough this month, paid that bill on time, invested this month, and more.

What makes this more challenging is the number of decisions you have to make every day. Every decision, from the mundane to the monumental, takes a toll on your mental energy.

Between completing our projects, choosing a lunch spot, and saving for the future, it’s no wonder many of us feel overwhelmed.

In The Paradox of Choice: Why More is Less, author Barry Schwartz wrote, “Choice has made us not freer but more paralyzed,” meaning when faced with many choices, most people will choose to do nothing.

Even if you do take action, you’re likely to fall victim to decision fatigue. Basically, the quality of your decisions deteriorates as you make more of them, which feeds into the Negative Financial Loop:

The more decisions you make, the more each decision’s quality decreases, increasing the likelihood of making poor financial decisions like impulse spending or missing payments. This leads to more stress and makes it even harder to take control of your money.

But there is a solution…

There is a way to remove a chunk of the financial decisions you need to make, which saves your mental energy for what truly matters in your life:

Financial automation.

⏬ The solution to take back control

Financial automation is basically a process of setting up rules, systems, and tools to manage your money and reduce the amount of time you spend on manual financial tasks.

Imagine waking up every day knowing your finances are on autopilot, working for you without any effort.

Imagine eating out, buying a new pair of shoes, flying out to visit your friends, all without feeling guilty because you KNOW your finances are being handled—automatically.

Financial automations allow you to take control of your money so you can do the things you actually want to do, without feeling stressed or overwhelmed.

That's why I’m excited to invite you to my free 5-Day “Automate Your Money” Challenge.
