Financial Habits to Succeed.

By Mark Norris, BBA · EA

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out. Success is a habit. What habits do you need to be financially successful?

Start with a money management system. It will help you live within your monthly budget, increase your net worth, and maintain good credit.

The engine

Cue → Routine → Reward. Repeated.

Researchers found that 40–45% of what you do every day isn't decided — it's habit. The same three-part loop that built your current money habits can build better ones.

Part 01

Cue

The trigger — a paycheck hitting your account.

Part 02

Routine

The behavior — updating your plan, paying bills.

Part 03

Reward

The payoff — security, good credit, net worth.
