I just can't seem to make myself do it.

And I keep falling back into these habits, these cycles.

And I know it's not good, but I'm still doing it.

Unbearable feeling to blame?

That makes a lot of sense.

Okay, so when people are trying to sort out their money lives, I mean, are there some common blocks that you see?

Interesting.

I also find a lot of people, and maybe this is because I talk a lot about investing, I find investing is the one where people are often the most interested and yet the most hesitant.

Is there any sort of unbearable feeling that comes to mind for you that could hold people back from something like investing into the share market?

Okay.

Or, you know, if we flip that from the investing mindset to the saving mindset,

where people often struggle to have that emergency savings buffer.

Anything that strikes you on that that could be maybe linked?

There's so many ways there in the examples you've laid out that this could really sabotage.

Absolutely.
