You swore you’d save this month.
But here you are — three days before payday — with $47 in your account.
Not because you didn’t mean to save.
But because you paid everyone else first… and hoped there’d be something left for you.
That’s not an accident.
That’s the trap the system wants you in.


💭 The Real Problem:
“Save what’s left” is a scam.
It’s like trying to charge your phone after binge-watching on 1% battery — there’s nothing left to work with.
Your bills, your subscriptions, your takeout — they will always expand to fill your whole paycheck if you let them.
If you don’t put you first, the world will happily spend your money for you.

🔥 The Payday Power Play:
Here’s how the wealthy flip the script:
1️⃣ Decide how much you want to save each month (yes, even if it’s $25).
2️⃣ On payday, automatically transfer that amount into a savings or investment account before paying a single bill.
3️⃣ Treat it like rent — non-negotiable.
This isn’t extra credit.
It’s your first move. Your power move. 🏆

📊 Why This Matters:
Saving last relies on willpower.
Saving first relies on a system.
One gets tired.
The other works while you sleep. 💤
Save $100 a month and in 10 years you’ll have $15,000 — without lifting a finger after today.


🎯 Mini Challenge:
Before your next paycheck hits, set up a transfer — even if it’s just $25 — into your First Dibs Fund.
Feel the difference when you get paid first, not last.

💬 Your Turn:
What’s the first thing you’d buy from your Pay Yourself First fund?
(And no… “more lattes” is not a wrong answer.)
