With Money We Really Fool Ourselves. We Are Our Biggest Enemies With Money And There Are Some Things We Can Do About It. Automatic Deductions Are A Wonderful Thing. But Ideally, You Should Wait Until The End Of The Month, You Can See How Much Extra Money You Had, And You Should Put That In Your Savings Account. We Don't Do That Too Well, And If We Did That, We Would Never Save. So, What We Do, Is We Take Money Out Of Our Pocket Into The Saving Account At The Beginning Of The Month, Take It Outside Of Our Control And As A Consequence, We Spend Less And We Save More.

People Are Irrational - And Predictably So.

Scaling Down Individually Is Very Hard. Imagine That If You Go To A Place Where Everybody Is Dressed Nicely, And You Are The Only One Who Doesn't Dress Nicely. Everybody Goes On Vacations To A Great Place And You Go To The Jersey Shore. It's Very Hard To Do These Things Without An Organized Mechanism, But It Looks To Me Like There Might Be Some Organized Mechanisms.
