To fund the goals you've set, we'll use a powerful habit called "paying yourself first."
This simple concept means you set aside money for your savings goals before you spend on anything else.

Have you ever heard this phrase before?
Think about it: when you get paid, who gets your money first? Usually it's your landlord, grocery store, or credit card company.
But what if the first person you paid was... your future self? That's the core idea here.

Who typically gets paid first from your income?
Most people save whatever's left after paying bills and expenses. But here's the problem: there's rarely anything left!
This approach treats savings like an afterthought, not a priority.

Approximately what percentage of your last paycheck did you save?
"Paying yourself first" flips this completely. As soon as you get paid, you move money to your savings goal immediately - before rent, groceries, or entertainment.
This makes savings a non-negotiable priority, not a leftover.

What would change if you saved before spending?
Here's a simple example: You earn $3,000 monthly. To fund your savings goal, you immediately save $300 (10%). Then you live on the remaining $2,700.
This guarantees you're making progress on your goals every single month!

What percentage of your income could you save first?
Start small if needed. Even $25 or $50 moved to savings first thing makes a difference. The habit matters more than the amount initially.
You can always increase it later as you get comfortable.
