Pay Yourself First

Allocating 20% of income towards savings for the future is crucial for financial stability. This allocation, referred to as 'paying yourself first,' prevents individuals from blending their savings with everyday expenses, ultimately making it easier to save. Many may struggle to save up to 20% initially, but the 1% rule encourages gradual increases in savings, allowing individuals to adjust their budgets over time. By focusing on saving consistently, individuals will build a strong financial foundation essential for achieving long-term financial goals.
