In 5 years, YOU will still be the one making decisions. And if you keep your current habits, "YOU 2.0" will have big problems.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Ask yourself:
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
