One very interesting lesson I recently learnt from the current book I am on; You can choose to be Rich by Robert Kiyosaki
- Once you receive your pay either as an employee or business owner, "pay yourself first before paying up the bills and debts"
This is one major way not to be or stay financially broke ( before the next pay comes) and I think it's so true. Yes, pay your bills. Yes, pay off your debts. But before these, take out a certain percentage for yourself and it should be a tradition for you that way your mind becomes aware of it
I mean, how can I just receive my pay and before a new month goes half I am dead broke again?! ๐. Salary and even business owners (the very strict and disciplined ones) can relate
And like every other project, this one requires discipline and determination
This tradition will actually help you cut down on unnecessary loans (bad debts) and wastage. It actually gives room to disciplining how much of a spender you are because by the time you remember your pay and your percentage, you will definitely think it twice before taking huge loans and unnecessary spending
Tell me in the comment section, what do you think about this author's thought??
