Pay Yourself First

Most people save what’s left after spending – which is usually nothing. “Pay yourself first” flips the rule and helps to build savings without thinking too much about it.

5 Simple Steps:

  1. Set aside a fixed amount right after you get paid.
  2. Move it to savings before paying bills or shopping.
  3. Start small — consistency matters more than size.
  4. Treat savings like a non-negotiable bill.
  5. Increase the amount when your income grows.

👉 If you don’t pay yourself first, no one else will.
