Prosperity is a Process
We all want quick fixes. We’d rather do something once and call it done than commit to something long term with gradual results. So when we learn that we have to commit to a process, instead of performing a single task, we procrastinate and do nothing. But with finance — just as with fitness — there’s really no other choice: Coasting always takes us in a downward spiral.

I think this is a GREAT quote. In my personal experience, it’s undeniably true, both in my case and in the cases of people around me. People just really don’t want to work at money; they want it easy. And our culture caters to that.
