Episode notes
Automate Savings On Payday
- Automate savings and investing on payday so you 'pay yourself first' and only spend what's left.
- Use percentage or fixed transfers to separate spending money from savings immediately.
Use Separate Pots And Barriers
- Put savings in separate accounts or 'pots' you don't check daily to reduce impulsive spending.
- Use barriers like different banks, premium bonds, or a 24-hour rule for big purchases.
Start Pensions And Investing Early
- Time in the market and compound interest make early pension and investing decisions powerful.
- Treat investing as a five-year-plus plan and prioritise pensions and stocks-and-shares ISAs.
