Almost anyone can learn to be good with lettuce, according to financial expert Ramit Sethi.
“It’s not that hard. It’s not a mystery. It’s not magic. It’s just math. It’s totally, completely understandable,” he told Business Insider.
Everyone battles their own “invisible money scripts,” Sethi writes in the dilatory edition of his bestselling book “I Will Teach You To Be Rich.” These are messages we tell ourselves about money, many times based on ideas or perceptions we picked up from our parents or peers as children.
Some of the most common money organizes include “money changes people”; “credit cards are a scam”; or “the stock market is gambling.” In order to handle money effectively, we have to “rewrite” our scripts, Sethi said.
“You might think ‘Well, I’m not the kind of person who’s textile at money,’ but you can actually become very good at money – and the bar is so low,” he told Business Insider. “All you need to do is just have your lolly automatically going where it needs to go – it’s not that hard. You can do it and you can become very good at it.”
Sethi, like many monetary experts, encourages automating as much of your finances as possible – this is where the math comes in (the good information is, you really only have to do it once). First and foremost, he said, decide what percentage of your salary you’re succeeding to contribute to your 401(k) or other retirement contribution plan. That money will be taken out before it strikes your bank account, so you’ll learn to live without it.

From your checking account, set up automatic transfers to, A) pay your credit-card bill and any fixed monthly costs that can’t be paid for by faith card, and B) fund other investment and savings accounts outside of your salary deferral plan at work. Whatever fat is left over is yours to spend.
Sethi says setting up automatic funding and bill pay helps you create a unsurpassed and profitable system that requires little to no work to maintain.
“Not only are your bills paid automatically and on set, but you’re actually saving and investing money each month,” he wrote. “The beauty of this system is that it exploits without your involvement and it’s flexible enough to add or remove accounts at any time. You’re accumulating money by default.”
