[[2019_09_08]] (Location 494) > Focus on the Big Wins—the five to ten things that get you disproportionate results, including automating your savings and investing, finding a job you love, and negotiating your salary. Get the Big Wins right and you can order as many lattes as you want. [[2019_09_08]] (Location 496) > Investing should be very boring—and very profitable—over the long term.

Set up automatic payments so your credit card bill is paid off in full every month. (If you’re in debt, set up an automatic payment for the largest amount you can afford.) Get your fees waived.
