Automate Finances UK: Bank Account Setup for FIRE

A four-account structure (bills, spending, emergency, investing) puts your finances on autopilot once you set up the standing orders.

The setup takes about an hour on a Saturday and saves you decades of decision fatigue.

Pay your future self first - savings and investments leave the bills account on payday before you have a chance to spend the money.

Once automated, your savings rate becomes the default rather than something you have to fight for every month.
