The Power of Automation in Building Wealth
Hi, I’m Elisabeth Dawson, founder of COPIA Wealth Management & Insurance Services and COPIA Wealth Management Advisors Inc. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from working with clients over the years, it’s that financial success doesn’t happen by accident. It requires intentionality, discipline, and (most importantly) a system.
One of the most effective ways to build wealth effortlessly is through automation.
When you automate your financial processes, you remove human error, emotional decision-making, and the temptation to deviate from your long-term financial plan. It’s like putting your financial future on autopilot.
Let’s explore how automating savings, investing, and bill payments can help you create financial security. I’ll also introduce the Wealth Recovery Account as a smart automation strategy that can accelerate your journey to wealth-building.

Automating Your Savings: Pay Yourself First
One of the golden rules of personal finance is to “pay yourself first.” This means prioritizing savings before spending on anything else. The easiest way to do this? Automation.
How to Automate Savings:
- Direct Deposit Allocations: Set up automatic transfers from your paycheck to your savings account. Many employers allow you to split your paycheck into multiple accounts.
- Recurring Transfers: Schedule a fixed amount to be moved from your checking account to your savings account every month.
- High-Interest Savings Accounts: Choose a savings account that offers competitive interest rates so your money grows over time without effort.
By automating your savings, you ensure that money is consistently set aside before you have a chance to spend it.

Automating Investments: Grow Your Wealth on Autopilot
Investing can feel overwhelming, but automation makes it easy. By setting up automated contributions, you can take advantage of dollar-cost averaging, which helps reduce the impact of market fluctuations over time.
How to Automate Investments:
- 401(k) Contributions: If your employer offers a 401(k) with a match, make sure you’re contributing enough to maximize the match. These contributions can be automatically deducted from your paycheck.
- IRA Contributions: You can set up automatic transfers to your Roth or Traditional IRA on a monthly or quarterly basis, so you don’t have to remember to do it.
When you automate investments, your money can grow over time, and you can avoid the emotional ups and downs of market timing. However, it’s important to understand the risk exposure you have in these types of assets and ensure that the rest of your portfolio is appropriately balanced based on your needs and goals. This is why is crucial to work with a financial advisor in determining what contribution amounts are appropriate for your situation.
Automating Bill Payments: Eliminate Late Fees and Stress
Late fees and missed payments can be costly, not just in dollars but also in credit score damage. Automating bill payments ensures that your obligations are met on time without any extra effort on your part.
How to Automate Bill Payments:
- Credit Card Payments: Set up autopay for at least the minimum balance due to avoid late fees.
- Utilities and Rent/Mortgage: Schedule automatic payments so you never miss a due date.
- Subscription Services: Review and automate only the essential subscriptions to prevent unnecessary spending.
- Debt Payments: Set up automated payments for student loans, car loans, and personal loans to stay on track.
By automating bill payments, you reduce financial stress and free up mental space for more important financial goals. The important thing to remember is that you dont want to overspend due to automation so be sure to review your expenses every three months, to ensure you only continue to spend on what is bringing you value.
Maximize your money’s potential.

Introducing the Wealth Recovery Account: The Ultimate Automation Strategy
Automation isn’t just for saving, investing, and bill payments. It can also be a powerful tool for maximizing your financial efficiency through a Wealth Recovery Account (WRA).
What is a Wealth Recovery Account?
A Wealth Recovery Account (WRA) is a dedicated checking account designed to act as a holding tank for your money before it is strategically allocated. It serves as the foundation of a “velocity of money multiplier” strategy, where funds are continuously cycled into investments, insurance, and other wealth-building vehicles.
How Does a WRA Work?
- Captures Recovered Costs: Funds that would otherwise be lost (e.g., tax refunds, refinanced debt savings, investment dividends) are redirected into the WRA.
- Acts as a Financial Clearinghouse: All money moves through the WRA before being deployed to investments, savings, and other financial instruments.
- Ensures Financial Accountability: Provides a structured system for tracking cash flow, ensuring money isn’t mismanaged.
What Gets Deposited into Your WRA?
- Interest and dividends from investments
- Tax refunds
- Bonuses and additional income
- Savings from lower insurance premiums
- Rental income or passive income streams
What Gets Paid from Your WRA?
Long-term savings allocations
Life insurance premiums
Investment contributions (stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.)
Debt repayments (including policy loan repayments)
Why the WRA is a Game-Changer
By funneling your money through the WRA, you gain complete control over your financial system. It prevents wealth from being eroded by unnecessary spending while ensuring your dollars are always working for you.
