Cannot recommend this approach. There are many people making $100k, $200k, $300k, etc, living paycheck to paycheck because they think 'accounting for personal finances is a waste of time'.

The fundamental problem being, it's basically impossible to out-earn your ability to spend money.

I'm with you until your "because". They might be living paycheck to paycheck for some reason other than their not tracking where their money goes.
