I'm not sure I'll ever let my life be completely "point driven", but I'm a huge believer in tight feedback loops. So I'm trying out a couple of tools to give me very quick feedback on my financial situation.

At the moment, my brain just sees Starbucks now vs. smaller bank balance later, so the concrete temptation of an immediate, tasty caffeine hit tends to trump my desire to save money.

I'm hoping I can set things up so that I can more strongly trigger my loss aversion circuits, and create a feedback system where my brain will naturally try to save money.

I'm all for self-discipline, but I'll also take all the help I can get.
