So that's an interesting β it's kind of the behavior gap, and we'll put a picture in the show notes of what it is, but it's effectively buy high, sell low, and then repeat until broke.
And it's one of those things like, yeah, it's not until we have 2020 hindsight that we can realize that was a mistake.

I really like the idea of automating things.
And I think some of the β particularly the online banks do a really good job of that, making it very simple to set up, say, BPAY transactions or direct deposits or whatever.
Regular payments.
And the problem is you just don't want to have too much, to make it too easy for yourself as well as overcomplicating it.
A few others that...
I quite like, and these are very simple things that people can do, is just have a checklist.

So say if it's a material purchase, let's say it's over 500 bucks.
