How to Automate Your Savings — Even When It Feels Impossible

Saving money sounds simple. But what if your money is never enough? What if, by the time you finish paying bills, transport, food, and helping someone, there’s literally nothing left?

That’s where automation changes the game.

Most people try to save after spending. But that never works. Why? Because your brain is wired to use what’s there. The trick is to hide it from yourself first.


Here’s the move:

Set up automated savings so that a small amount (even 5–10 cedis) moves into a separate account the moment money hits your phone or bank.

You can use tools like:

  • MoMo wallets with locked savings (MTN Pension and Investment)

  • Bank apps with auto-transfers to a savings account

  • Third-party apps  (if you trust fintechs)

Start with an amount so small it feels like a joke — but keep it consistent. It could be One cedi or 10 cedis a day


The 4 Roads to Wealth: Job, Self-Employment, Business and Investing
  • You don't have to think about it.

  • You don’t feel the money is missing.

  • Over time, the small stacks grow — and it motivates you to find ways to earn more.


Your Turn:
Pick one method. Automate just 5 cedis this week. Then do it again next week. Let the habit build itself.
