Checking my accounts almost every day is exactly how I stopped ignoring money two years ago and jettisoned 15K in debt and began investing in retirement. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch progress and helps me acknowledge that my savings is building which helps me avoid putting emergency expenses on CC.

@@ramitsethi This resonates with me (as well as @lindsay3995's message). I've learned part of my process has been: stop ignoring money, learn/tackle/automate my money system so every thing is taken care of without needing my attention more than once a month, and the current part i'm on is LETTING GO of watching all my accounts daily and TRUSTING the system i've set up to work. This part has been hard psychologically - i'm so afraid to let go of daily watching because of my fear that i'll fall back into ignoring and forget to check things monthly. I just unistalled the apps from my phone because you are right. There is no helpful decision/attention i'm contributing to my finances daily - it's just about trusting the process and detaching myself from it other than my monthly calendar event to check in on my money.

Similar story with me, I check my stock portfolio at the end of every day the market is open because I want to see how well my portfolio of (mainly) individual stocks is doing, as it's one of the things that helps me decide what stocks to dollar cost average into when I get my next paycheck. And my portfolio is worth over a million dollars, so it's not like I'm watching $10 movements.

For me, its not sitting at a beach 24/7 every single day, that's boring after 2 days and most retirees end up either going back to work, or opening a business or volunteering.

I am glad you did the “frivolous” comparison. IMO a lot of it is rooted in misogyny. Purchases that are considered feminine like weddings, clothes, and hand bags are always deemed “frivolous” while masculine purchases like trucks, cars and electronic purchases are rarely called the same. And even if they are called out for being too expensive in the PF space there is rarely the “shallow” and “materialistic” judgment placed on the person who bought it. Single women spend even less money than single men on average, a lot of times because they are more capable of cooking. But the narrative is always that women love spending money.

I've done commission only sales before so I know all about income that can have wild swings. Basically just pick a number you know you can hit every year and base everything off of that. Then whatever you make over that number is extra and you can then use the extra money to improve areas you want to. So if you don't feel like you're investing enough invest the extra money. Or if you're not spending much on fun things use the extra money on vacations or whatever, but your strategy should be based on that number you know you can hit.

Ramit, your advice is great for a single-person household or two-income household with or without kids. But there are more household compositions. A household with one parent and 2 teenagers is a one-income household with pretty much 3 adults. To maintain the percentages this one income should be equivalent to two incomes. Single parents (who are plenty) understand your logic but not always can apply it to themselves. It would be nice if you added some granularity to your advice. I am the person with 2 older teenagers and am fortunate to have an income that equals to two average-income earners, so my percentages are exactly what you propose. But I can plainly see that I am in a minority. Those selfless adults who raise human beings should be celebrated, instead of getting depressed that they don't have "guilt-free money".

I disagree with the fact that checking your accounts regularly is a waste of time. I’m 77 years old. I worked hard for my money and savings and it takes me less than one or two minutes to do something that makes me feel better relaxing enjoy the rest of my day knowing my money is safe and has not been stolen or fraud has occurred!!

My goals I want to own about 20 acres with a small log cabin and a large red barn so I can start a cat rescue, have a nursery, and some livestock like goats and donkeys. I want to be able to see my family overseas and take them on yearly vacations without worrying about money. I want to have an Bed and breakfast on my property. So my guests can enjoy some plants from my nursery, play with the animals, and eat wholesome foods created with items from my garden.

For anyone who needs inspiration, cat rescues around the country are looking for kitten fosters year-round. Imagine having a room in your home where you just constantly have adorable kittens who get adopted by people when they are 10-18 weeks old, and then new kittens get sent to you with food and litter. Being in a space large enough to have a foster room is one of my vague dreams, but I think it may require me to (a) own a home and (b) be working in a job with a higher "home" ratio in a hybrid schedule. But, honestly? It's not practical to want frivolous or fun things when one is single because there is nobody to catch us when we fall, and I think our place is less about living a rich life and more about having a big enough fortress around oneself and making the required sacrifices to weather all sorts of economic circumstances without becoming a burden on society. I was taught growing up that most bad things that happened to me were a result of my lack of foresight or planning, and I was even grounded sometimes for not thinking ahead because my parents expected better. And I can't say they were wrong because America has no safety net.

Dining out in fancy restaurants every single week, after work party, weekend to Casino, come every morning with Starbuck coffees,… Fancy vacations, huge credit card debts. What do you expect?

Also how is it possible to automate your investments if the market changes every minute on a dime? How will I know this automation process is allocating my money in the right places at the right time? One more thing, do you recommend dollar cost averaging on a weekly or monthly basis?

Thanks a lot for what you do Ramit. I have started spending more after watching your episode with Mindy from bigger pockets. I’m in a similar position to her and her husband. I’ve started loosening the purse strings a bit and feel good about it, and just need to pull the plug on work now… I’m 44, so still some concerns in the back of my mind about the long runway ahead, but deep down (and in my 500 spreadsheets) I know I’ve got enough. Doesn’t stop my reptile brain panicking every time I think about actually quitting though…

@@ramitsethi Seeing you beat the s$$t out of Mindy for talking about the cost of the flights for their trip to Europe... well, let's just say I felt a little bit personally attacked too 😅. I'm conscious of it now, and catching myself before I go there. Also, when we go out for nice meals etc I'm actually just enjoying it rather than obsessing over the cost in my head - I didn't even look at the bills on the weekend - they won't move the needle. It feels good... and I have you to thank. I really appreciate what you're doing. I mean, don't get me wrong - in part, it's the obsessiveness that's put me in the position that I am, but I'm on the top of the mountain now, so time to chill TF out out and enjoy. A work in progress, but I'm getting better... Wishing you all the best, and thanks again.
