Time to convert knowledge into a working system. Your final assignment is a one-page money plan with four components. First, your numbers: monthly income, expenses, and cash flow. Second, your position on the order of operations from the last lesson. Third, your automations: what transfers happen on payday, to where, and for how much. Fourth, your written investing rules: what you’ll buy, how often, and what you will do during the next market crash (hint: nothing).
Then schedule a recurring 30-minute ‘money date’ with yourself once a month: review the past month, check progress on your current step, and make at most one improvement. Small, consistent, automated, boring, that’s the entire secret. Finish with the knowledge check below.
