Compare Two Approaches to Managing Your Money

Every money system works if you use it. Most people fail because the system they chose does not match the amount of effort they will realistically maintain. This compares two approaches on effort, control, flexibility, and fit, then gives you three questions to decide which is actually yours. Pick the one you will do, not the one that looks most disciplined.
