Very nice article. I first learned about the concept of paying myself first way back in the late 1970′s with A.L.Williams (of “Buy term and invest the difference” fame- His organization is now Primerica).

The additions to the concept offered by these latest authors really increase the power of the ideas.

Thanks for the article!

Great article. Yes many of us have been exposed to these principles, but many still do not follow them. Great for the gentleman who feels as if he doesn’t need this advise. “Waste of his time”. What he hasn’t realized is that someone taught him these principles. Brian, thank you for taking the time to teach these wealth building principles to others.

Your article is great. I can’t take any exception to it. This is the basic step for success in building wealth. It is sad that most people will not understand this concept.

WOW!!

What a great article! This ranks right up there with “The Richest Man in Babylon”.

I’m going to share this with my young neices and nephews. As I read this article, I realized that I had a short-term savings account AND an equity gosling even before I went to college. Unfortunately, I thought of them the same way and slaughtered the gosling without realizing what I was doing. Had I kept that account growing and followed the guidelines above, I wouldn’t still be working today.

Great article Brian,

We all need to be reminded every now and then on the basics of investing, and the importance of “paying yourself first”.
