You’ve downloaded the apps and color-coded spreadsheets. You’ve hired the financial advisor. You’ve even tried the weird envelope system your grandma swore by. Yet, here you are again. Staring at your bank account, wondering where all that money went. Those methods are like treating a gunshot wound with a Hello Kitty Band-Aid. A very neat, color-coded Band-Aid, but a Band-Aid...
