SAVING

Automation is the key. Set up your accounts so the money moves automatically before you even see it. Then spend the rest guilt-free.

I was making $100,000 a year and spending $50 a month on food. Not because I had to. Because every dollar I didn't spend was a dollar that could make me more money.

You can't invest what you already spent.

Automate your finances. If you have to remember to save, you won't.

We're not trying to turn everyone into a day trader. We're trying to turn everyone into a saver who happens to invest.

I saved $100,000 by age 25 on a nonprofit salary. Not because I'm a genius — because I had a system. Automate your savings, invest consistently, and stop buying things you don't care about to impress people you don't like.
