And then you watch yourself not do it, not because you do not want it badly enough and not because you are bad with money, but because wanting something and doing something are two completely different muscles. And most people have never learned how to check whether their actions actually align with what they say they want.I am calling that the say-do gap. It is the space between what you say you want and what you actually do, and it shows up in every part of your life, not just your finances.
