 <\/p>\n

I
\nhate working out.<\/p>\n

I
\nstill do it.<\/p>\n

Sometimes.<\/p>\n

But
\nmostly I hate it.<\/p>\n

The
\nreason I hate it, is I have to do it repeatedly. If I go to the gym four times
\na week for six months – great. Things are getting ahead. But if I drop down to
\nonce a week for six months. It\u2019s all gone again.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m
\nsure you know my frustration. Health is a constant battle.<\/p>\n

There
\nis yet to be a piece of technology to take care of this for us. At the moment,
\nwe all still have to use self control, self discipline and sweat to reach our
\nhealth plans. None of this is automatic. Every push, pull, grunt, squat, sit up
\n\u2013 it\u2019s all based on us. There is zero work around.<\/p>\n

But
\nthe awesome thing about technology, is the basics of money management can now
\nbe taken care of for us. Without us doing anything.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s
\nlike having a personal trainer that does the working out for us. Every single
\nday.<\/p>\n

What
\nI like about automated investments is that I don\u2019t have to rely on my self
\ncontrol and self discipline to succeed. I don\u2019t even need to learn\u00a0how<\/i>\u00a0to
\ninvest any longer.<\/p>\n

That
\nmassive change has only come about in the last decade. Over ten years ago when
\nI started getting into investing, I had to learn about everything. From
\nclearing days, to stock brokers, to investment philosophies. I can go on and
\non.<\/p>\n

But
\nyou don\u2019t have to. While you still have to learn how to do a pull up correctly,
\nyou don\u2019t need to learn about \u2018speculative mining stocks\u2019. And in order to
\navoid getting hurt you should learn how to warm up correctly, but you don\u2019t
\nhave to learn about \u2018active fund management\u2019.<\/p>\n

These
\ndays, technology and automation can take of most of the hassle with investing.
\nI don\u2019t need to worry about what my investments are, or even how regularly I am
\ninvesting. All I know is that this is now being taken care of for me.<\/p>\n

With
\nthe world changing so rapidly, it\u2019s not worth waiting for it to change back
\nagain. Instead, leverage technology where possible to create shortcuts for
\nyourself. Money management is a rabbit hole you can explore for many years. But
\nis it the best use of your time? Probably not. So while I\u2019m all for learning,
\nI\u2019m not a big fan of inefficiency.<\/p>\n

These
\ndays you need to be selective on where you spend your time and attention.<\/p>\n

As
\nsuch, an app like Raiz can\u2019t replicate an entire career in the personal finance
\nspace, but it can take care of the basics extremely well. And unless you plan
\nto head down the path of becoming a personal finance expert, the basics are
\nmore than enough.<\/p>\n

Outsource
\nyour investments to automation.<\/p>\n

Get
\nresults without the sweat.<\/span><\/p>\n
