Implement an I Don’t

Want To Do a Budget

A utoma tic Money System

t’s a fact of life, especially financial life. Everyone needs to budget.
I Many people—including me—don’t like hearing that they have to limit
their spending. They don’t even like hearing the word budget.
Here are some of the objections I hear whenever the word budget enters
a conversation:

• Budgets are too restrictive and limiting. They take away my freedom.
• Budgets are too complicated. They’re hard to follow.
• Budgets really don’t work. They set you up for failure.
• Budgets aren’t fair. They cause arguments.
• Budgets make me feel bad. I don’t want to know what a poor manager
I am.
