Automate and Chill: Your Guide to Becoming a Financial Automaton

What is an automaton? Specifically, what is a financial automaton? You quietly ask yourself if you should consult the Googler but fret not- I am here to explain. An automaton, a word often used in similes and comparisons, refers to a person who seems to act in a mechanical or unemotional way. Add finances to the mix, and basically, I am suggesting that you should strive to become a robot in (some) money areas. Why operate as an automaton/robot? Because they do what they are pre-programmed to do with no hesitation. If you are able to successfully automate your income, then you will experience what it feels like to make moves for your future without unnecessary stress or extra time taken away from your already full day. Here are some simple steps that you can do to streamline your cash flow: Set up Direct Deposit through your job (if possible). Not only will you be saving time, but you’ll often receive your paycheck as early as 12am on Fridays. Party! Register for Bill Pay and Paperless Billing. You will literally be saving the planet while simultaneously ridding yourself of late fees, interest charges, and, possibly, overdraft fees. Pay Yourself First. You can,...

Popsyisms…

Some years ago, I had the privilege of seeing Ms. Tyson on stage in “The Trip to Bountiful”, a beautiful and stirring story about the meaning of home. At the spry, young age of 89, Ms. Tyson’s presence on that stage was nothing less than magnetic, and it moved me to tears. Everyone in that theatre understood that they were watching magnificence in motion. I was grateful then and grateful now that I had the opportunity to witness one of her legendary performances. Cecily Tyson was so many wonderful things. A trail-blazing actress, an author, a model, a mother, and a recipient of countless awards including an Oscar, a Tony, three Emmys, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Cecily Tyson was a woman who lived a life so full, she had no choice but to touch and inspire millions with her work, her legacy, and her life. May she rest in eternal power and peace.
