Do you prefer automation or manual control when managing money—and why?
by•
Some people love automation, while others want full control over every entry. Where do you fall on that spectrum? Do you trust automated tracking, or do you prefer being hands-on with your finances?

I’m somewhere in the middle.
I trust automation for the boring, repetitive stuff — categorizing transactions, pulling balances, recurring reports. That saves time and reduces mistakes.
But I still want manual control for anything that affects decisions or money moving around. I like to review, sanity-check, and approve. Automation should assist, not decide.
So: automate collection, keep humans in the loop for judgment.
@alpertayfurr Well said. Automation is excellent for data capture, but decisions need context.
I’ve noticed most financial mistakes happen when people let systems act without review.
