pay myself first

Before bills, before discretionary spending, before I do anything with any income I receive, 10% goes into my savings account. Non-touchable, except for emergencies.

i decided to give up on this because at this time in my life it’s just too unrealistic. that’s just the truth no matter what you say. one day, when i can, i will be able to pay myself first. but that day is not today.

Since I started paying myself first at least 10% of my income my savings have been steady growing. Our goal is to save enough to put a down payment on a new house and keep our first home as rental property

Goal: To put away at least 10% from every paycheck and not touch it.

If you don’t do it, who will? Enjoy life, but save a little money! It also comes in handy for emergencies.
