Add Friction One personal finance “hack” that you can implement immediately: shop like it’s 1997. Picture yourself in 1997, when the notion of swiping a credit card for a fast food meal raised eyebrows, and online shopping was in its infancy, limited to platforms like early eBay and the humble beginnings of Amazon, which exclusively sold books at that point.
Great article!! Love the whole thing. One I was in HS in 1997. The glory days, spending the money I had from pumping gas on destroying my body. 😬
It makes perfect sense though. Friction, even the smallest friction can be a big deterrent in completing a task. It’s an important aspect of our life that we should regulate how we use many of these devices and like you say services too.
I find when I work out, I eat better, when I have no junk around I don’t eat the junk. It’s important in todays society to pick and choose when to engage with all the bells and whistles.
So why not go back in time with your habits? Touché
