One of the first things you should do after getting paid is to budget your money. I always make a plan for necessities like rent, utilities, and groceries. It keeps me from overspending.
Totally! And the second thing is to pay yourself first. Set aside money for savings or investments before you do anything else. I have an automatic transfer set up for my savings, so I don’t even have to think about it.
Don’t forget about paying off debt. That’s the third thing. If you have high-interest debt, tackling it right after getting paid can save you so much money in the long run.
And the fourth thing? Work on growing your wealth. That’s where financial advisors like Joseph Nick Cahill come in. I started working with him after researching online. His reviews and testimonials convinced me to give him a try, and honestly, his guidance has been incredible. He helped me set up an investment plan that aligns with my long-term goals.
Oh, I’ve heard of Joseph Nick Cahill Doesn’t he also focus on helping people build better financial habits? I think I read a testimonial from one of his clients saying he made complex strategies easy to understand.
Yes of course he made things very easy for me, he even showed me where I could be saving more and since I started working with him my life had turned out for the better
This is the realest money advice I have ever heard. Everybody says pay yourself first. You’re the first person I hear say to pay your bills first. Thank you, you are a breath of fresh air.
Ever since I started using Graciela Lynne Schriewer’s advice, payday has become less overwhelming. She suggested automating my savings and investments, so as soon as my paycheck hits, 20% goes straight to my savings account and another portion to my investment portfolio. This video reinforces how important it is to manage your money right away instead of waiting. It’s all about consistency!
Looks like she really knows her stuff. I also found her online page and read through her resume, educational background, qualifications and it was really impressive.
Impressive!! Also, I did read about Graciela Lynne Schriewer on the web, I was able to find her webpage and leave a mail. I'm willing to make consultations to improve my portfolio
I can’t believe how much money I used to waste before I started following a routine like this. Graciela Lynne Schriewer taught me to put aside at least 20% of my paycheck for savings and investments, and now I don’t have to worry about unexpected expenses anymore. It feels so good to be prepared!
@@mraleyqpsThis used to happen way more often from the employer side of things until the current generation of workers started just walking out of every job for not getting an emotional health day for literally no reason. 😂😂
I’ve managed to put $30/week away. Those $30/week have added up to $6,500 in the savings account. It can be done. I used to do $5/ week and worked my way up. I use a CC and pay the balance. Get cash back rewards that I apply towards the CC. I bought a used car cash. It reduces insurance and registration bills. Mind you, I didn’t do these things overnight. I first went after the high interest credit cards.
@@goldhawk420while the markets are at ATHs? No thanks. There’s a correction coming soon and I’ll be there to take advantage. People don’t get rich investing at the top of the market, they get rich at the bottom.
@@goldhawk42010k minimum in savings. Need enough for 6 months worth of bills God forbid you lose income. So either 10k min or more, depending on your cost of living.
Even billionaires pay themselves first 😂 why do you think you're an exception?? Because you have kids? Billionaires don't have kids? You're full of excuses that's all. Maybe don't have kids if you're just going to use them as an excuse.
That’s why I never want to have kids , growing up watching my poor parents struggle badly with money. I just want to take care of myself and treat my parents like they are my kids. I don’t want to make the same kind of mistakes my parents did, having kids just because everyone is doing it. Totally ignore their financial responsibility.
I'm so happy I made productive decision about my finances that change forever. I'm a single mother living in Vancouver Canada, bought my first house on February and hoping to retire soon if things keep going smoothly for me
I was always taught to: 1. To plan and save for tomorrow, whether you live to see it or not. 2. Live by the amount of money you make and spend it according to needs first and wants if possible.
My dad retired from a company having worked 27 years. The last two years he noticed that there were more and more temp employees coming in, because they didn't require benefits and less and less permanent employees being hired. That was around 20 years ago, so yes a lot has changed in the last 20 years.
@@margiemurray2147 Many if not all retail employers only have part time employees (with maybe one or 2 full time managers) precisely because they don;t want to provide benefits and then give you weird schedules that change all the time making it so that you can't even pick up a second part time job. You could be working full time hours between two part time jobs and still not qualify for benefits.
Brian, I'm 71 yrs old and husband is 67 yrs old. I retired in my late 40's and my husband retired at 58. I managed our money just because we both knew that I was better at it than he was. There is always one who is better at managing money than the other one. Anyway I did almost exactly what you are doing. Our net worth is just under 2 million and we are on a fixed income but still comfortable and still able to put a bit of money in savings, when we don't have too much of those unexpected expenses. What you are doing and I did works !
Shanon I’m in my early 40s and for the last 14 yrs I’ve done my finances in this exact manner, however my husband is not on board and that makes it so difficult. But I’m glad to hear that other people are doing in the same way.
Brian you are spitting pure truth. Straight to the point no BS telling it like it is and giving honest insight. Thanks for all you do, people like you are rare these days.
People think that budget or being intentional with cash flow is constricting. It allows you to have freedom and guilt free spending as long as you take care of the important items.
I do something similar to this and was taught this to me by my Depression Era Grandparents. 1. Fixed bills come first. 2. Variable bills...ie food and pop up stuff ... pop up stuff are needs for children. Variable Bills are necessities and set amount specific for necessities at specific amount. 3.Set aside all loose change and set 80 percent aside for oh crap account. Example oh crap car needs fixed 4. Only do 1 outing for self entertainment but set max amount to 100 or less. Anything extra which is anything extra from above listed. Set that money aside for up coming bills or oh crap account.
Great advice Brian. Did this and it’s working for me. I’ve always been an advocate of investing because it has paid off handsomely since I decided to dabble in it. I've seen my net worth grow exponentially the past 2 years.
You say it like it's easy forgetting that not everyone is as lucky as you are. I've invested for months now without any progress. How are you able to do it?
It's totally far from luck. My advisor, Herman Jonas has consistently outperformed the market ever since I got on his program. He has continued to put my money to good use in the market making me optimal return.
Do not forget that when it comes to investing, prices can be erratic, rising and declining quickly, often in relation to companies' policies, which individual investors or “experts” do not influence.
I am 28 y/o and am in my first "real" job for just about a year at 75k/yr. Granted, I served in the military for a couple years. Friends of mine have jumped jobs 2-3 times at this point and are making double my salary in the same industry. Goes to show your employer will never be able/willing to pay you as you upskill. Keep learning. Keep looking. Great advice as always from this channel.

Indeed, common sense reigns! I LOVE not struggling. I LOVE seeing zero credit card balances. I LOVE seeing my savings grow. Honestly, living like this is addictive and freeing! I keep a strict budget, am shopping savvy, and, I LOVE saving money on everyday items. I had to quit my job due to health hazards. However, I am a saver and had something else I had been working on the side. Thank you God! Thanks for sharing!

I've been doing this for the last 10 years. Because of laying it all out in Excel, I got myself out of debt and I'm now able to "pay myself" and save even more.
You’re awesome, Brian. I work in the financial industry, and it makes me so happy to hear you give such balanced advice. When I get asked for a good podcast or media source on these topics, I typically steer them here. Of all the YT channels, nobody “speaks the language” as well as you, Brian. Cheers.
Hi Brian, This is my new favorite video of yours and I totally agree with your approach! I had always paid my bills first before investing the rest and I thought I was alone. THANK YOU!
I really like your content. You aren’t sanctimonious like so many similar channels and you touch on topics that affect the majority. Great job. You’re funny through your honesty.
I've always done this! I subtract my monthly expenses first, then put away a set amount for emergency/investing fund and a separate sinking fund for jewelry, clothes, hair and makeup. Then, the cash left is for myself for each month. I think what they mean by pay yourself first is exactly this. It should go without saying that monthly expenses are always accounted for first. But, paying yourself first means before you do other spending, put the money into the categories I listed before spending it along with your cash left over.
Hey Brian it's been a long time since I stopped by my friend. 2 million subscribers later, I am so proud of you, thanks for continuing to drop these jewels off information on us. Truly appreciate it. Cheers my friend take care.
Social Media: First thing you do is... Pay yourself. Me thinking to myself: Omg... I've heard that so many times... But get real Brian: BS! I have bills to pay... LMAO! So true! Brian says it like it is.
No he’s right. The only time someone should be paying themselves is if they have cleared a good bulk of their debt excluding the mortgage/rent. It’s much better to be close to debt free then trying to save or invest all the while you’re debt is incurring interest or late fees.
Perhaps one of you best presentations Amigo! Definitely passing this one along to all of the young folks that wont listen to me, but will pay attention to a YT video! Living my best La Vida Loca here in south eastern Arizona
Brian, you really are an absolute legend when it comes to giving financial advice and news. Even though it's not always positive news, it's nice to have someone giving non-bias perspective.👍
Brian you are the man! As always simple, precise, real and clear information we can actually use. Put in Lehmans terms. And generous with your time. Thank you soooo much! ❤
Well explained. Thanks for bringing up the videos financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject.
I wake up and pay bills on my chart organized by paycheck week and monthly expenses list in order by due date. I love to learn new things ❤ so here I am.
I would like to add one more thing to the list that people should be doing before and after pay day Kick the bad habits, smoking and drinking Just go cold turkey! You can’t complain you’re always broke when you spend $3K to $4K depending on where you live on bottles or packs of poison every month
Had to pause when you mentioned month to month using Excel. I literally had my spreadsheet open, entering stuff in. I’ve been doing this the last ten years.
Tithe first. God is the source of everything we have. “Honor the LORD with your wealth…”. (Pr. 3:9) That’s all I’d add to your excellent presentation. 👍
Last year, I was working full time, budgeting groceries, unable to afford date nights, and missing time with my kids. Now I learned how to make money online. Now am a SAHM, homeschooling, and making profits every week.
Wow that's awesome, investing in alternate income streams should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.
Wow, you are the only RUclipsr who goes above and beyond to help people. I've watched a few others, but they didn't go into as much depth on how to save.
Absolutely spot on with budgeting in an excel spreadsheet. Been doing test for a few years. It’s like an old fashioned checkbook register. I record every transaction I make. Checking, savings, cash, everything. I know where every penny of my money goes and have budgets plotted for next decade plus. Including budget for vacations, recreation, etc. it’s great for calculating future financials. Just have to have the discipline to adhere to the budget. But seeing it on a spreadsheet just makes things so much clearer.
I always learn so much from your videos. It is now reinforced in my brain that I need to invest. I need to learn how to do this. I’m very intimidated by investing. Thank you for this video Brian!
Not where I live. It’s not as good as it used to be that’s for sure but I’m incredibly cozy with only $1k/mo rent and cheap insurance/groceries. If I was still in Denver i’d be broke LOL
I love your videos. You give the best & practical advice all the time for just average, everyday folks. Most of us are no where near rich so thank you very much 🙏 You’re greatly appreciated
I’m pretty sure most of those who “pay themselves first” do so knowing they can make everything work if needed. I’m also willing to bet they’ve got little to no credit card debt to deal with. I feel like paying off credit card debt is kinda like paying your future self-money that the future you gets to hold onto because it won’t be going to paying interest.
This routine makes so much sense! Graciela Lynne Schriewer once told me to automate everything-savings, bills, and even investments. It’s like taking the guesswork out of payday, and I’ve been able to hit my financial goals faster because of it.
I have 2 chapter 11’s that are dismissed. The reason I have 2 is because I did not use an attorney. I was trying to stop an eviction, but when I went to try to add another month’s rent to the bankruptcy, the guy filed another one. About a month later, I ended up losing my job. They are scheduled to fall off in January and March 2023. Since I’m looking to purchase a home soon but still there, I am currently enrolled in *Royal Recaptureorg*, and I must say, I am loving it thus far. I’m doubling it up with your podcast videos and learning A LOT! Thank you. I’m ready to join the millionaire club!!!
Always pay yourself first , it’s a mindset, don’t get into monthly payments unless you can afford, being able to afford is having to pay yourself first. Nobody is saying don’t pay your bills, don’t get into those bills in the first place. People always by homes they can’t afford or $720 car payments.

I've always done this! I subtract my monthly expenses first, then put away a set amount for emergency/investing fund and a separate sinking fund for jewelry, clothes, hair and makeup. Then, the cash left is for myself for each month. I think what they mean by pay yourself first is exactly this. It should go without saying that monthly expenses are always accounted for first. But, paying yourself first means before you do other spending, put the money into the categories I listed before spending it along with your cash left over.
Hey Brian it's been a long time since I stopped by my friend. 2 million subscribers later, I am so proud of you, thanks for continuing to drop these jewels off information on us. Truly appreciate it. Cheers my friend take care.
Hi Shasha! THank you for stopping by and that's so kind of you, I appreciate it so much! Take care and I wish you a wonderful day!
@@clearvaluetax9382 yeah bro. I remember u back in feb/march 2020, when u had a few hundred subs and slammed papers down. Good stuff! 🤙
@@newagain9964he also used to bring OF gals on the vid when he was showing how to use Robinhood app. Miss those days.
Social Media: First thing you do is... Pay yourself.
Me thinking to myself: Omg... I've heard that so many times... But get real
Brian: BS! I have bills to pay...
LMAO! So true! Brian says it like it is.
No he’s right. The only time someone should be paying themselves is if they have cleared a good bulk of their debt excluding the mortgage/rent. It’s much better to be close to debt free then trying to save or invest all the while you’re debt is incurring interest or late fees.
I just learned this and telling all my friends about this. Sadly, they don't listen. This video is so good and invaluable. Easy to understand.
Just started listening to this RUclips channel on my drive to work.
Brian's secret sauce, I put that sh!t on everything, lol. Happy Monday.
LOL K-oiya! Thanks for that laugh and I wish you a great day!
@clearvaluetax9382 thanks, same to you!
Lol😂
This video is so cute! Heres how my paychecks go... Step one: pay bills. Step 2: broke. No more steps
😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂
Facts.
Rinse and repeat!
Perhaps one of you best presentations Amigo!
Definitely passing this one along to all of the young folks that wont listen to me, but will pay attention to a YT video!

Thank you for the sheet it really helps me see everything clearer
Brian, you really are an absolute legend when it comes to giving financial advice and news. Even though it's not always positive news, it's nice to have someone giving non-bias perspective.👍
Happy Monday Brian! Have a great day!☀️ 🌺
Happy Monday RoseBloom! I wish you a very nice week =)
1. Tithes
2. Bills
3. Savings
4. Myself
As long as I paid my tithes first, I have never wound up short on the others
❤❤❤😮😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😮😮😮😮😮😮❤REALLY😮❤
True 👏🏾
People will overlook the issue of tithe because of the high cost of living
Why do you need to bribe the church?
So happy to see THIS in the comments!! God is good & never fails!
Brian you are the man! As always simple, precise, real and clear information we can actually use. Put in Lehmans terms. And generous with your time.
Thank you soooo much! ❤
Well explained. Thanks for bringing up the videos financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject.
Trading in Bitcoin now is the wisest thing to do now especially beginner.....
Thank you so much for the honest truth about paying your bills first.
I wake up and pay bills on my chart organized by paycheck week and monthly expenses list in order by due date. I love to learn new things ❤ so here I am.
I would like to add one more thing to the list that people should be doing before and after pay day Kick the bad habits, smoking and drinking Just go cold turkey! You can’t complain you’re always broke when you spend $3K to $4K depending on where you live on bottles or packs of poison every month
But everyone don’t have those habits to kick. Some people have no habits at all and it still doesn’t work.
@@ChantelTGill You’re right but the ones who always cry broke most of them have bad habits
@@EmJhay-b2w Ok, I can agree with that.
Had to pause when you mentioned month to month using Excel. I literally had my spreadsheet open, entering stuff in. I’ve been doing this the last ten years.
I've been doing this religiously! It helps so much!
Tithe first. God is the source of everything we have. “Honor the LORD with your wealth…”. (Pr. 3:9)
That’s all I’d add to your excellent presentation. 👍
Do you have God’s routing/account numbers? I can’t seem to find them. I’m sure he is pissed that I haven’t sent him any cash.
Last year, I was working full time, budgeting groceries, unable to afford date nights, and missing time with my kids. Now I learned how to make money online. Now am a SAHM, homeschooling, and making profits every week.
Wow that's awesome, investing in alternate income streams should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.
Am looking for something to venture into on a short term basis.
Cryptocurrency/stock investment, but you will need a professional guide on that.

This is so real. I love the applying for job tip. That 100% makes sense. Thanks for the real info :)
as a single mom:
1. bills
2. food/snacks/household supplies
3. things for kids
4. stress for next paycheck 😭
❤yes single mom here. I have to pay bills take care of the kids they want every new iPhone video games I can’t they are the ones making me broke 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Same.
Here too
It's not easy
Bryan concept pays your bills first, not me because sometimes I don't have enough to pay the bills 😂
Brian was the best thing we got out of Covid, thanks for the knowledge mate
Wow, you are the only RUclipsr who goes above and beyond to help people. I've watched a few others, but they didn't go into as much depth on how to save.
Brian, if I could shake your hand I would. Thank you so much for your advice. It’s practical and genuine.
I appreciate that! Yes, I try to keep it real! Thank you for all the support!
Thank you! Your advice is far better.
Best tax/finance Yt channel on RUclips imo.
💯
I am retired and that’s exactly how I do it , thank you for confirming I was doing the right thing .
Absolutely spot on with budgeting in an excel spreadsheet. Been doing test for a few years. It’s like an old fashioned checkbook register. I record every transaction I make. Checking, savings, cash, everything. I know where every penny of my money goes and have budgets plotted for next decade plus. Including budget for vacations, recreation, etc. it’s great for calculating future financials. Just have to have the discipline to adhere to the budget. But seeing it on a spreadsheet just makes things so much clearer.
Brian, thank you, this is your best video ever. For those who are focused and pay attention, this video helps more people than all your other videos.
I appreciate that! And thank you for all the support! Yes, I put a lot of effort into this one to make it practical and helpful!
I always learn so much from your videos. It is now reinforced in my brain that I need to invest. I need to learn how to do this. I’m very intimidated by investing. Thank you for this video Brian!
"just got paid today
got me a pocketful of change..."
Happy Payday!!!
$100k annual job is now $50k these days. Insane
Not where I live. It’s not as good as it used to be that’s for sure but I’m incredibly cozy with only $1k/mo rent and cheap insurance/groceries.
If I was still in Denver i’d be broke LOL
@ I paid house off
Probably the MOST PRACTICAL and REALISTIC advice ever! I've always felt "weirded" at paying myself first when there are enormous bills to prioritize.
I love your videos. You give the best & practical advice all the time for just average, everyday folks. Most of us are no where near rich so thank you very much 🙏 You’re greatly appreciated
I’m pretty sure most of those who “pay themselves first” do so knowing they can make everything work if needed. I’m also willing to bet they’ve got little to no credit card debt to deal with.
I feel like paying off credit card debt is kinda like paying your future self-money that the future you gets to hold onto because it won’t be going to paying interest.
Paying your mortgage is essentially “paying yourself first”
Not really, you dont own the asset...yet.
@@PremiumFuelOnly each payment (plus extra to principal) brings you closer to owning the “asset” 🤭
Exactly
@@Todjcamnot really
@@luxurybuzz3681 yeah really. Explain otherwise
Step 1 my thought is paying off any consumer debt such as credit cards and auto loans should be priority one before worrying about investing
Definitely some truth to that.
Finally some one being realistic with these videos! Kudos to you!
Thank you for that feedback and all the support Greg! I appreciate the support!
I always looked at my 401k as “paying myself”. If i had more, then I would save more.
Great channel!
Very good video! Skip Dave Ramsey… this sums it up in simplicity!! Love it! ❤
Yes，totally agree
Glad someone like you exists on RUclips
Thank you Akhon! I appreciate you too!
This routine makes so much sense! Graciela Lynne Schriewer once told me to automate everything-savings, bills, and even investments. It’s like taking the guesswork out of payday, and I’ve been able to hit my financial goals faster because of it.
I have 2 chapter 11’s that are dismissed. The reason I have 2 is because I did not use an attorney. I was trying to stop an eviction, but when I went to try to add another month’s rent to the bankruptcy, the guy filed another one. About a month later, I ended up losing my job. They are scheduled to fall off in January and March 2023. Since I’m looking to purchase a home soon but still there, I am currently enrolled in *Royal Recaptureorg*, and I must say, I am loving it thus far. I’m doubling it up with your podcast videos and learning A LOT! Thank you. I’m ready to join the millionaire club!!!
Brian. You are true blessing for us. Thank you. This is so humanly understood, relevant and simple. I don't feel alone anymore in this case!
Excellent advice!!
Always pay yourself first , it’s a mindset, don’t get into monthly payments unless you can afford, being able to afford is having to pay yourself first. Nobody is saying don’t pay your bills, don’t get into those bills in the first place. People always by homes they can’t afford or $720 car payments.
dont get into payments at all
@@taylamayde exactly, tell my son that all the time, they are robbing you!
