Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Big dreamer but only in his mind.

In 5 years, YOU will still be the one making decisions. And if you keep your current habits, "YOU 2.0" will have big problems.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
