Procrastination and poverty don’t seem like two words that should be together in one sentence. After all, you’re just watching Netflix instead of doing the dishes. How could that possibly make you broke?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then, today it’s postponing your chores for Netflix. Tomorrow, what will it be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Procrastination when looked at on the surface has little to do with money, and a lot to do with time. But if we think about it along the lines of this famous saying, then it starts to make sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time is what? Money. Yes, money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the core of it, procrastination is borrowing time from your future to spend in the present. It\u2019s putting off tasks meant for now to a later time. And as we already know, there\u2019s a finite amount of time everyone has. So there’s only so much you can borrow from your future before it starts to tell on you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now think about it again…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Procrastination and Poverty… <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Is there any link? How can procrastination make you broke?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s look into a few ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accumulated Debt<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m guessing you already know where I\u2019m going with this. Something as simple as putting off your bills, or buying things on \u201ccredit\u201d can be hazardous to your mindset, and in the long run, your pocket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It makes you comfortable with the mindset that \u201cit can be done later\u201d, and that\u2019s unhealthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is \u201clater\u201d? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you notice, when we procrastinate, our \u201clater\u201d has no date or time attached to it. If it did, then it could be called a plan. But it hardly ever has timelines. This makes it easier for us to keep putting it off with no end in mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some time, you find yourself knee-deep in debt and you struggle with it. You may pay it off, but after a while, you find that you\u2019re back in debt. It\u2019s a vicious cycle that began with a simple \u201cI\u2019ll do it later\u201d<\/em>. Procrastination and poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n

Focusing on short term investments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Procrastination makes people focus only on short term money moves with no due consideration for the future, because \u201cthe future would take care of itself\u201d<\/em>. There are many issues with this mindset, and one of them is how vulnerable the person can become to get-rich-quick scams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Procrastination makes you prioritize these short-term investments (if any investments at all) with no real plan for the future. This is not to say that short-term investments are forbidden. It just points to the fact that a balance has to exist for you to achieve long term wealth goals. A mind that is used to procrastination has trained itself to only think of now – instant gratification – and this is bound to hurt your pocket in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Retirement Plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is basically a continuation of the last point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re not always going to have a 9-5, run that business or be a student. With every day that passes, you\u2019re getting closer and closer to a time when you would not be able to work and earn as you currently do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a sustainable plan? Would you prefer to give up your lifestyle then because you can no longer afford it? You need a retirement plan, and the only reason you\u2019re yet to create one is because you think there is still time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a retirement plan now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Zero Emergency Funds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One thing about life is that it is full of surprises. Sometimes these surprises are good and full of cheer. Other times, they\u2019re not, and we refer to them as emergencies. No one is above emergencies, but you can stay two steps ahead of life by preparing for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, I\u2019ve published a couple of articles<\/a> here on the blog about emergency funds, and how you need to have at least 6 month\u2019s worth of expenses. You\u2019re smart, and I’m sure you know why it\u2019s important to have one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Procrastination is the reason you\u2019re yet to create an emergency plan, and this decision to procrastinate can result in potential damage to your pocket should anything happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create an emergency plan now<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t put it off to tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dealing with Procrastination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One-off actions can be great towards combatting the habit of procrastination in the short term, but one of the steps towards ensuring a lasting habit change is replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to replace this old habit of procrastination with conscious steps towards creating a new one. Here are a few of my suggestions: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realize the urgency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, you need a mindset change, and this change is impossible without conviction and acceptance. Do you accept that this is a habit you struggle with? Self-awareness comes into play here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With time, as with money, you need to realize that while it can be said to be an infinite resource, there\u2019s a finite amount that we each get. The earlier we start to take responsibility for our financial futures, the better our retirement days or days of emergencies would be. The time is now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s one thing to accept that there is a need to take immediate action. It\u2019s another thing to act accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference between a goal and a wish is an intentional timeline and clear steps to take towards achieving this goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find out how much you need to have in your emergency plan. There’s a feature on Cowrywise that can help you calculate this when you click the card below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover your risk appetite, and start investing. Make the move now. Create an emergency plan. Create a retirement plan. Start investing to build long-term wealth. Now is the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Automate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In all these – saving for retirement, saving for emergencies, investing in long-term instruments, etc. – I admit it can be hard to keep up. That\u2019s why there are tools and products that can help you automate and schedule your savings, investments, and even your tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Cowrywise, you can create automated plans, so you don\u2019t even get a chance to procrastinate. Remember that time lost, is money lost. This is the basis on which procrastination and poverty are linked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion… <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d say again: procrastination is borrowing time from your future to spend in the present. There\u2019s only so much time one can borrow before it all comes crashing and you\u2019re knee-deep in deadlines and pending deliverables. It\u2019s the same with money. So yes, procrastination and poverty have a strong link. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t want to be in any of these positions, so you need to take action today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cowrywise has created a variety of products to ensure you avoid any \u201chad I known\u201ds in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s up to you, and the time is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
