Episode 2969:
Ryan H Law highlights the transformative power of "paying yourself first," a foundational personal finance principle. By automating savings through strategies like 401(k) contributions, Roth IRAs, or direct deposits into savings accounts, you can build long-term wealth effortlessly.

Quotes to ponder:
"Poor people spend their money and save what’s left, while rich people save their money then spend what’s left."
"A part of all I earn is mine to keep."
"Paying yourself first is all about deploying the gap: maybe some goes to beefing up your emergency fund, and another portion gets thrown at debt."
