Pay yourself 1st
On payday take all necessary measures to pay yourself first. Immediately set the funds aside. Begin today and continue every payday. Saving as much as you can, as fast as you can guarantee you options in life.
One option, make choice necessary for you to get rich. With an average income you can build wealth. It does need you to make the right choices. It is not easy. But you can choose to do it.
Begin today setting aside as much as you can. Make changes to your consumption that enable you to save. You can’t save it, if you spend it.
The choice to get rich affects every aspect of your life, everyday
Take full advantage of any saving, tax minimizing or investment program that you can. To begin do not be concerned about any investing specifics. We can discuss that later. It begins with accumulating savings.
Just begin. Do it now. Start saving and making deposits every payday.
Beginning with your pay, arrange for an automatic savings deduction from each pay deposit.
In a low-interest investment environment the returns on cash are limited. However we will address that later. For now do not be concerned. Get those savings deposits growing and regular.
Once we have some capital accumulated we can turn our attention to putting the funds most effectively to work for you.
