Getting older means you start to embrace the beauty of automation, right? I mean, who wouldn't want their finances to run like a well-oiled machine? This episode dives into how we can make investing as easy as pie with a 'set it and forget it' mindset. One of our listeners, bless her heart, asked how she could get into investing without constantly worrying about it. Well, we've all been there, haven’t we? Life gets hectic, and the last thing we want to do is stress over whether we remembered to put some cash away for our future. So, let’s chat about how automation can be our best bud in this financial journey. I share my experience with clients who’ve set up automatic contributions to their retirement accounts, and let me tell you, the peace of mind that comes with it is priceless. Imagine not worrying if you invested this month or not, because it just happens in the background while you live your life.

We break down the key benefits of automating your investments: consistency, emotional detachment, and the sheer joy of watching those small contributions grow over time. I share a killer example of a 25-year-old who, with just a little discipline, could find themselves with a nice chunk of change come retirement. It's all about that consistency, folks! You start with a small amount and, before you know it, you’re sitting on a goldmine. And let's not forget about the importance of treating your investments as non-negotiable. It’s like paying your rent; you do it every month without fail. It’s about building a habit that will pay off big time in the long run. So, get ready to embrace automation and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your money is working for you while you’re busy living your best life.

Takeaways:

• Automation in investing can really take the stress off your plate, trust me!
• Setting up automatic contributions is like a set it and forget it plan for your money.
• Those small, consistent investments can turn into big bucks over time, believe it!
• When life gets busy, automation keeps your finances on track without you even thinking about it.
• Pay yourself first! Treat those automatic investments like they're non-negotiable, because they are.
• Life gets hectic, but automated investing means your money works for you while you live life.
