So you get paid every Friday and maybe bi-weekly but the point is you get paid and you don’t know where your money goes.✅Free $25✅: https://www.sofi.com/share/money/2652618/
6 steps When you get Paid
Emergencies: 10%
Right now I have $6000 for emergencies: enough to cover everything for 6-8 months.
A few years ago I couldn’t cover extra fries because it wasn’t part of my order
So heres what you do
Why: you don’t want to let life happens to you, you want to be ready, for any emergency, especially car repairs people always complain about this
What to do: You want to create an external bank account for this, that may take 1-3 business days to actually get the money to you. That way you’re are not tempted
How to do it: Get an account with wealth front, and every time you get paid deposit 10% in this case:
Math: 1000*10%=$100 ( by the end of the year with our example, you’ll have $5,200 bucks ) = that’s Time more than the average American.

Investments: 10% - 20%
You know when you get paid, and you say I want to invest this money
Then 10m later all the money is gone
Well the same thing happened to me because I didn’t know what to do
Why: you want to multiply your money, so one day your money can take care of you
Heres What I do: with $100 of that 10%, I would take 50 and put into Acorns, it lets you invest money into ETFs and grow over time. So far I have $9,728.41 ( this money grows at 7% and also pays me dividends, for an average return of 9% a year ( that’s 900x more than the .01% I make from chase savings)
By the end of the year: $2,600 invested
( and in 40 years that money will add up $812,488 )
The other Half $50: take that money and split it into 2: save $25 for investment and take the other $25 and buy a book or a few books/courses/seminars, that can help you create more income. Once you have the knowledge, you should have some money on the side to try out the ideas. ( 25 * 52 = 1300 )

Debt: 10%-20%: Student debt, Credit card debt, Car debt
I know people literally paying a 900-2000 car note every month, the answer sometimes paying is not the answer. The answer is to sell it and get some cheaper.
Why: The less bad debt you have the better your future will be, remember when I said your Acorns investing will return on average 9%, well that's nothing compared to 20-35% of credit card interest.
What to do: I pay my credit cards on a weekly bases whenever I get paid. In a specific order ( PS don’t wait until the due date, pay it right then and there so the money does magically disappear )
Using this method: I've paid off more 16k in credit card debt
Expenses: 50-70% ( any more than this and you have a problem)
You know when someone says, I don’t have any money left over, or I have to many bills to pay.
And they give you this weird smile, well that’s the look of someone’s life falling apart
Why: Expenses are mandatory: you need shelter and food and electricity, you can avoid these needs.
What to do: make a list of your income and also a list of all your expenses. ( if you don’t need it to live like, Food, shelter, water, electricity, then get rid of it, at least for now)
Fun: 5%-10% ( and this is my favourite account, I get an average of $60 per week and I ball out on amazon )
Why: Budgeting can be miserable if it doesn’t let you enjoy it, so this is the smart way to give your life some balance.
How: You can do long term fun or short term fun.
- If I want to buy something like a video console: then I’ll save some of that $60 to buy it
- Short term is just spending it as soon as you get it
Charity: 1 – 10%
Before you say, I don’t have any money, just hear me out. (you'll never have enough money) the more money you make the more you’ll need it for something
