I remember the second this interview was over, I picked up the phone and called Chris and was like, we have to get control of our money.

And I was shocked by the number of subscriptions that I was paying for that I wasn't even using.

I had no idea that I was still paying for it.

And that's why it's so important for you to hear this.

And it loops all the way back to Tiffany Aliche's money.

That if you do step one and you get a handle on where is your money going, this is what David's talking about.

It's going to the automatic economy.

And if you're not aware and you're not specific and you're not looking at the money that you have and being intentional about it, taking control of it, if you don't have a plan for your money, someone else is going to steal it from you.

This is a huge wake-up call, but I also love that he gave you practical strategies for how to start saving now and why it matters.

So daily choices, they set you up for a better future.

So here's your simple question.

For the next week, just notice your small spending.

The subscriptions you forgot about?

Delivery fees?

Convenience spending like getting Uber Eats instead of walking or driving to pick up your takeout?

Those little, ah, it's only a ha-ha-ha.

Then choose one tiny action.

Cancel one subscription.

or download the app like acorns.

In fact, there's a couple sponsors that offer free apps that help you identify subscriptions and cancel them.
