Key takeaways

  • Track 30 days of real cashflow before setting an invest target.
  • Start with 50/30/20, then adjust to your obligations.
  • Pay yourself first on payday.
  • Small monthly amounts beat waiting for a lump sum.

Most people do not fail to invest because income is too low, but because cash has no assigned job. Give investing a line in the monthly budget.
