Behavioural Guardrails: Step-Ups, Two-Week Rule, Separate Apps

Most plans fail not on math but on behaviour. Add friction where you are weak and remove friction where you are strong.

Guardrails That Work

  • Step up SIPs 8 to 12% every year to capture income growth.
  • Two week rule for big money moves. Decisions look different with time.
  • Separate apps: keep speculative trading away from long term investing.
  • Disable easy credit on shopping apps. Friction saves you.
