Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Every month I tell myself I’ll move some money over to savings when I get a chance, and every month the decision just doesn’t happen
• Every month I tell myself I’ll move some money into savings once I see what’s left, and every month there’s somehow nothing left
• I keep promising myself I’ll save whatever’s left at the end of the month, but there’s never anything left
• I keep telling myself I’ll save whatever’s left at the end of the month, and somehow there’s never anything left
• Every single month investing is this fresh little decision I have to talk myself into, and most months I just don’t
