Big idea: Automation takes the emotion out of investing and protects you from your future self.

Automation means setting up recurring deposits and recurring investments so your plan runs without needing motivation.

Why automation works

  • You can’t forget
  • You don’t hesitate
  • You avoid buying only when markets 'feel' good
  • You build wealth even on busy weeks

Much of habit-building is simply doing the same thing over and over — and automation guarantees that consistency without relying on willpower. It turns you into an investor by default, not by effort.

Automation is the closest thing to a guaranteed habit. It removes emotion, reduces decision-making, and quietly grows your wealth in the background.

Why should I care?

Because it’s hard to rely on motivation forever.
Automation keeps your plan going even when life gets chaotic.

It’s wealth-building on autopilot — the easiest, calmest way to stay invested for the long run.

Building wealth without needing to think about it? That’s the ultimate flex.

Try this today

If you set your first automated investment at $20 a week, how would that feel?
