"Paying yourself first" - look it up!

  • The best way to avoid saving is to only save what is left at the end of the month. This way, you have a great chance of spending all of your income, leaving absolutely nothing left to save towards yourself. (01:13)
  • If you are really committed to not being a millionaire, then you would take it a step even further and spend even more than you make every month, accumulating credit card debt and severely hampering your overall wealth ability. (01:26)
  • Saving $500 a month for 30 years at 10% comes out to over $1.1 million. Someone who saves just $300 a month because they are spending first and saving last, would come out at over $450,000 less over those same 30 years and 10% rate. (01:50)

Quote for the episode: "Saving part of your income is one of the main drivers in building wealth." (01:02)

Joseph Okaly:

Today's great tip on how to not be a millionaire is Budgeting

Joseph Okaly:

Backwards. Saving part of your income is one of the main

Joseph Okaly:

drivers in building wealth. So if you want to avoid being a

Joseph Okaly:

millionaire, it therefore must be something you want to avoid

Joseph Okaly:

as well. The best way to avoid saving is to only save what is

Joseph Okaly:

left at the end of the month. This way, you have a great

Joseph Okaly:

chance of spending all of your income, leaving absolutely

Joseph Okaly:

nothing left to save towards yourself. If you are really

Joseph Okaly:

committed to not being a millionaire, then you would take

Joseph Okaly:

it a step even further and spend even more than you make every

Joseph Okaly:

month, accumulating credit card debt and severely hampering your

Joseph Okaly:

overall wealth ability. For those who are actually trying to

Joseph Okaly:

build wealth then you should make saving a priority. If you

Joseph Okaly:

first budgeted amount to save towards yourself before you

Joseph Okaly:

spend, then you are exceedingly more likely to save. Saving $500

Joseph Okaly:

a month for 30 years at 10% comes out to over $1.1 million.

Joseph Okaly:

Someone who saves just $300 a month because they are spending

Joseph Okaly:

first and saving last, would come out at over $450,000 less

Joseph Okaly:

over those same 30 years and 10% rate. Overall I think it is more

Joseph Okaly:

than clear budgeting backwards is a fantastic way to not be a millionaire.
