1What do you mean by “Pay Yourself First”?

A part of all you earn is yours to keep.  It should not be less than one tenth no matter how little you earn.  A garden begins with the planting of a tiny seed.  The first dollar you save is the seed that will begin your garden of wealth.  Choose carefully where you grow your garden,  some climates are more suitable than others.

2How can I pay myself first when it takes all I make to live now?

That appears to be a tough question!  Do you now pay your current debts?  What is so different about them?  The difference is a feel of obligation...“I have to pay them”.  Who is more important in your life?  Why do you feel obligated to pay them and not yourself?  After all, who labored to earn the money?  Are you and your family not more important?   I'm not suggesting you stop paying your debt!  All I am saying is that if you do not change your way of thinking, you will never have more than enough to pay your debt.  Once you begin to “Pay Yourself First” you will quickly adjust to whatever level of income that remains.  For now, you may have to tighten the old belt buckle a little more.  You may even need to do some extra curricular activity to increase your present earnings.  However, if you do some extra activity to earn additional funds, pay those funds to yourself!  Let me say that again, “Pay those funds to Yourself”.  An excellent very inexpensive book on this topic is The Richest Man In Babylon.  Read it!

3If I don't have much, why do I need a budget?

All the more reason to have one!  A budget is very important because it will show you where all your money goes.  Would you take a trip across country without a road map, especially if your time is limited?  Well, the budget is an essential part of your road map, especially so, if you have limited funds!  You will be very surprised when you begin to see what all you spend your hard earned money for.  Most people work to earn money to live and to have things.  That's OK!  We all want things.  However, would you rather work for your money, or have your money work for you?  Developing a simple budget can help put you in control of your money.  I say simple because a budget does not have to be complex.  Begin by writing down what you owe and record each and every penny you spend, even down to that soft drink or pack of chewing gum you purchased at work.  Search the net on “How to set up a Budget”...learn all you can...take control!  For every dollar you save, you now have another seed for your garden of wealth!

4What is “compounding”, and what makes it so powerful?

Benjamin Franklin once said “a penny saved, is a penny earned!”  Try doubling a penny each day for thirty days on your calculator....what did you come up with?  Pretty powerful...huh!  Need I say more?  This is a perfect example of compounding.

5.  How long will all this take me?

The key elements are your initial deposit, the frequency of deposits, interest, and time...the greater your initial deposit plus the frequency of additional deposits, and the higher the interest rate, the shorter the time required for you to achieve greater amounts.  You may want to visit the simple Savings Calculator where you may input your savings to show your future results.

6.  Am I too old/young to get started?

No!  It is never too early or too late to get started.  The point is that you start!  As a very young man, I was once presented with a proposal by Ray Crock to introduce “McDonalds” (You may have heard of them! ) to the regions of California, Oregon, and Washington .  Did I take the opportunity?  No, but what if I had! Now look at Colonel Sanders, he was in his golden years when he started “Kentucky Fried Chicken”.  Did he make it?  Yes.  The lesson here is that you are never too young or never too old to start.  It boils down to action.  Just do it!

7Does all this really work?

Yes!  Observe the wealthy,  their money is constantly working for them to obtain more.  Some of them even started where you are now...they started!  It didn't happen over night but look where they are now.  They are enjoying the freedoms of life.  They made the commitment and stuck with their plan.  It can work for you...in as little time as five to ten years you too could be enjoying the freedoms of life as well.  Five to ten years seems like a long time but it will pass like the blinking of an eye....will you be financially free or still just getting by?
