Saving money is harder because sending money is easier now.

A financial hack to spend less money, for say a week is for you to withdraw the amount of money you have to use that week and then avoid making any payment through your banking digital applications. There is a psychology behind this and why I think so is because if you withdraw cash that you need for the week and then have it at hand, you will not want to see that stack of cash go down very quickly so you will be cautious with transactions you make, but when making transfers using your mobile bank application, since you do not see a physical value of what you are spending, you can send out a huge amount of money and if feels like nothing because you did not see a physical representation. The ease of transferring money has made keeping money more difficult in bank applications, and also financial discipline harder to practice for some.

Have you observed this?

The world has passed this stage, if you are at least an adult with basic responsibilities this won't work because you will probably be spending more than you think.
I say this because the world is very digital right now, there are places you go and they tell you that they don't accept cash or you might be in a situation where you are far away from and the only solution is sending money digitally now you out yourself through the stress of looking for how to do that and this problem can come anytime of the day.

The best solution is not holding cash because aside the points I mentioned cash can easily get stolen or misplaced, you can have a designated account like for emergency fund, monthly or weekly expenditures and one for saving(although saving in fiat is not wise better to invest in assets)

Yes I would say the development of technology that made it possible to move money from banks to several institutions platforms has made it easier to spend money and harder to save across bank. Not just that even introduction of instant deposits from our conventional bank or even crypto exchange to gambling platforms have made it easier to burn money and harder to save.

I think the simplest way to save money and not worry that you’ll be tempted to transfer and spend them right now should be to be having it on assets like gold. bitcoin could also be another option where you have them on cold storage and watch only wallet that you could not easily sign them for transactions.

The same can't be apllicable to everybody, indeed there is a psychological part of it that tends to lure people into spending more as long as their mobile apps are available and in the comfort of their homes they could make as many transactions not minding whether it's important or not, but there are those people who have consciously developed some sort of financial discipline and could control any urge that may want to lead to unnecessary spendings, such people can't be controlled by the fintech or apps because they are very conscious no matter the funds available to them per time, they are always resolved and can't be drawn into spending outside their budget for the day, week or month as the case may be.
