You don’t have to be perfect to start saving

Your future self is depending on you right now—whether you feel ready or not. One of the easiest ways to build wealth isn’t flashy or complex.

It’s this: automate your savings. Even if it’s just $10 or $25 a week, set up a recurring transfer that moves money from your checking to your savings account like clockwork.

You’ll barely notice it missing, but over time it adds up. This one habit turns “I wish I could save” into “Oh wow, look at that balance.” Start small. Start now. Your future self will be so grateful.
