[158]
yourself doesn't buy yourself a
[160]
car

it doesn't mean taking a vacation it
[163]
doesn't mean that you know you would you
[166]

[168]
oh yeah I'm paying money myself
[170]

meaning that you put your money aside
[188]
and you invest your money now I'm not
[191]
talking about being frugal you know if
[193]
you know anything about me you know my
[195]
work I'm not talking about being frugal
[196]
and being cheap I'm talking about taking
[199]
a piss percentage of your income and
[201]
putting that aside pay yourself first
[202]
and save it and then you invest it
[205]
that's what I mean by paying yourself
[207]
and a lot of people if you read the book
[209]
that richest man in Babylon it talks
[212]
about that you should save ten percent
[213]
of your money and pay yourself ten
[215]
percent I'm telling you nowadays with
[217]
what's happening with the inflation when
[219]
it's what's happening in the world every
[220]
thing is more expensive if you
[222]
want to get rich paying yourself ten
[224]
percent is way way way way not enough
[227]
you just at the very minimum I don't
[229]
care where you are start off with ten
[231]
percent I don't care if you make your
[233]
thirty thousand dollars a year you pay
[234]
yourself ten percent of that forty to
[236]
forty fifty sixty thousand you pay
[237]
yourself ten percent and that's your
[239]
income increases I want you to also
[241]
increase the ratio so you should at
[244]
first ten percent they should aim to
[246]
save 15% 20% 30% 40% to a point where
[251]
you are making so much more money and
[254]
then now you're only spending a small
[257]
percentage of what you earn that's your
[259]
goal that's called paying yourself so
[261]
that's habit number to pay yourself
[263]
first habit of rich people number three
[267]
and that is rich people are constantly
[269]
improving their earning ability because
[273]
you might be thinking Darren okay I want
[274]
to pay myself first but I'm not making
[276]
enough money I'm only making a few
[278]
dollars in a month i could铆ve
[280]
I couldn't even afford to pay my bills
[281]
how am I gonna pay myself first first of
[284]

you're making a million two million
[295]
dollars a year you're not paying
[296]
