People who spend a lot of time in this field would usually fall into the automate category because the idea is to fool yourself (if you save automatically each month, you don't miss it etc.) Unautomating your finances seems to be about the opposite of fooling yourself. It's really interesting to me because here we have a classic example of two opposing financial approaches that don't really compete because they speak to different types of people. I'm just intrigued by things like that. Okay, this is crazy because just yesterday I listened to the Consumerism Commentary podcast with Gary Belsky about behavioral economics.
