    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.

    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 !

    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.

      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.

    11 min you said something ive been telling everyone i work with for years... the best time to find a job is when you already HAVE a job! Getting laid off and having to start the job hunting process is horrible and will set you back months-years. Look for work when you have a job means you get to pick jobs you WANT instead of applying for jobs you NEED. I was working at GM in chandler, back in August they told us they werent renewing the lease and that all 1000 people were out of a job... its just better to find an upgrade while your working vs being out of a job and eating away at your savings until/if you get a job

    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.

    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.

      Credit score is playing footsie with the bank. Too many credit cards, loans, etc. Get rid of these things.

    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.
