In this short personal‑finance monologue, the speaker shares his top tip for staying true to investing commitments: treat your wealth like a game. Whenever he saved money from everyday activities, he would immediately invest the saved amount—whether $10, $20, or $50—so that each small investment added up over time. This rapid‑action approach creates frequent “endorphin hits,” a positive emotional reward that reinforces the habit of investing. By repeatedly pairing the act of saving with instant investment, he turns investing into a fun, emotionally rewarding part of his life, encouraging viewers to find similar ways to generate regular positive feedback and make investing a habit they love.

So how do you make sure that you stick to your investing commitments? Here's the biggest tip I can give you. You want to be gamifying your wealth. Whenever I went shopping and I saved some money, I would always go and get that and I would go start investing it straight away. And so what I would find is that I would invest $20 here and $10 there and $50 here, and it would build up and build up and build up. Now what this does is that it generates these little endorphin hits when it comes to your money. So what would happen is that I would constantly be reinforcing this decision that I'm making towards making good decisions towards my financial future, right? Creating these positive emotions when it comes to money. And so all of a sudden to me, investing was this beautiful positive thing which I just can't get enough of. Find ways to hit off those endorphin hits on a regular basis. Doing all these things is something fun and it's just part of your life and you just really love enjoying it if you're a bit of a weirdo like me.
