This is the realest money advice I have ever heard. Everybody says pay yourself first. You’re the first person I hear say to pay your bills first. Thank you, you are a breath of fresh air.
I’ve managed to put $30/week away. Those $30/week have added up to $6,500 in the savings account. It can be done. I used to do $5/ week and worked my way up. I use a CC and pay the balance. Get cash back rewards that I apply towards the CC. I bought a used car cash. It reduces insurance and registration bills. Mind you, I didn’t do these things overnight. I first went after the high interest credit cards.

Great advice Brian. Did this and it’s working for me. I’ve always been an advocate of investing because it has paid off handsomely since I decided to dabble in it. I've seen my net worth grow exponentially the past 2 years.
You say it like it's easy forgetting that not everyone is as lucky as you are. I've invested for months now without any progress. How are you able to do it?
It's totally far from luck. My advisor, Herman Jonas has consistently outperformed the market ever since I got on his program. He has continued to put my money to good use in the market making me optimal return.
Do not forget that when it comes to investing, prices can be erratic, rising and declining quickly, often in relation to companies' policies, which individual investors or “experts” do not influence.
I'm so happy I made productive decision about my finances that change forever. I'm a single mother living in Vancouver Canada, bought my first house on February and hoping to retire soon if things keep going smoothly for me
Even billionaires pay themselves first 😂 why do you think you're an exception?? Because you have kids? Billionaires don't have kids? You're full of excuses that's all. Maybe don't have kids if you're just going to use them as an excuse.
That’s why I never want to have kids , growing up watching my poor parents struggle badly with money. I just want to take care of myself and treat my parents like they are my kids. I don’t want to make the same kind of mistakes my parents did, having kids just because everyone is doing it. Totally ignore their financial responsibility.
Brian, I'm 71 yrs old and husband is 67 yrs old. I retired in my late 40's and my husband retired at 58. I managed our money just because we both knew that I was better at it than he was. There is always one who is better at managing money than the other one. Anyway I did almost exactly what you are doing. Our net worth is just under 2 million and we are on a fixed income but still comfortable and still able to put a bit of money in savings, when we don't have too much of those unexpected expenses. What you are doing and I did works !
Shanon I’m in my early 40s and for the last 14 yrs I’ve done my finances in this exact manner, however my husband is not on board and that makes it so difficult. But I’m glad to hear that other people are doing in the same way.
I do something similar to this and was taught this to me by my Depression Era Grandparents. 1. Fixed bills come first. 2. Variable bills...ie food and pop up stuff ... pop up stuff are needs for children. Variable Bills are necessities and set amount specific for necessities at specific amount. 3.Set aside all loose change and set 80 percent aside for oh crap account. Example oh crap car needs fixed 4. Only do 1 outing for self entertainment but set max amount to 100 or less. Anything extra which is anything extra from above listed. Set that money aside for up coming bills or oh crap account.
I am so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed forever. I'm a single mother living in Vancouver Canada, bought my first house in October and hoping to retire soon if things keep going smoothly for me
Investing in alternate income streams should be the top priority for everyone right now especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. Stocks, gold, silver and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.
Indeed, common sense reigns! I LOVE not struggling. I LOVE seeing zero credit card balances. I LOVE seeing my savings grow. Honestly, living like this is addictive and freeing! I keep a strict budget, am shopping savvy, and, I LOVE saving money on everyday items. I had to quit my job due to health hazards. However, I am a saver and had something else I had been working on the side. Thank you God! Thanks for sharing!
I was always taught to: 1. To plan and save for tomorrow, whether you live to see it or not. 2. Live by the amount of money you make and spend it according to needs first and wants if possible.
I am 28 y/o and am in my first "real" job for just about a year at 75k/yr. Granted, I served in the military for a couple years. Friends of mine have jumped jobs 2-3 times at this point and are making double my salary in the same industry. Goes to show your employer will never be able/willing to pay you as you upskill. Keep learning. Keep looking. Great advice as always from this channel.
People think that budget or being intentional with cash flow is constricting. It allows you to have freedom and guilt free spending as long as you take care of the important items.
I've been doing this for the last 10 years. Because of laying it all out in Excel, I got myself out of debt and I'm now able to "pay myself" and save even more.
From a 6k a month income to permanent disability a third of that I am totally strapped. Working on paying off cc one at a time. Thanks for your advice!
Another thing you can do if its available at your job is work overtime. When you do overtime be disciplined to set that money aside or invest it rather than using that as spending money for instant gratification. Make the sacrfices now so you can meet your goals later
Brian you are spitting pure truth. Straight to the point no BS telling it like it is and giving honest insight. Thanks for all you do, people like you are rare these days.
You’re awesome, Brian. I work in the financial industry, and it makes me so happy to hear you give such balanced advice. When I get asked for a good podcast or media source on these topics, I typically steer them here. Of all the YT channels, nobody “speaks the language” as well as you, Brian. Cheers.
I love you bud, your content is helping generations of people who just havent been taught financial education. Simple, realistic, relatable and effective. Respect!
Hey Brian it's been a long time since I stopped by my friend. 2 million subscribers later, I am so proud of you, thanks for continuing to drop these jewels off information on us. Truly appreciate it. Cheers my friend take care.
This advice is excellent. I know because I’m old and I did this advice. I don’t have a great formal education but I changed jobs about every 2 years. It works.
I really like your content. You aren’t sanctimonious like so many similar channels and you touch on topics that affect the majority. Great job. You’re funny through your honesty.
I've always done this! I subtract my monthly expenses first, then put away a set amount for emergency/investing fund and a separate sinking fund for jewelry, clothes, hair and makeup. Then, the cash left is for myself for each month. I think what they mean by pay yourself first is exactly this. It should go without saying that monthly expenses are always accounted for first. But, paying yourself first means before you do other spending, put the money into the categories I listed before spending it along with your cash left over.
Hi Brian, This is my new favorite video of yours and I totally agree with your approach! I had always paid my bills first before investing the rest and I thought I was alone. THANK YOU!
I wake up and pay bills on my chart organized by paycheck week and monthly expenses list in order by due date. I love to learn new things ❤ so here I am.
I would like to add one more thing to the list that people should be doing before and after pay day Kick the bad habits, smoking and drinking Just go cold turkey! You can’t complain you’re always broke when you spend $3K to $4K depending on where you live on bottles or packs of poison every month

Had to pause when you mentioned month to month using Excel. I literally had my spreadsheet open, entering stuff in. I’ve been doing this the last ten years.
Brian, you really are an absolute legend when it comes to giving financial advice and news. Even though it's not always positive news, it's nice to have someone giving non-bias perspective.👍

I’m pretty sure most of those who “pay themselves first” do so knowing they can make everything work if needed. I’m also willing to bet they’ve got little to no credit card debt to deal with.

I am trying to pay my credit cards. I am 35 and I am in debt with credit card but I am paying them so I only got 3 more to go.. I will use this in the future
Always pay yourself first , it’s a mindset, don’t get into monthly payments unless you can afford, being able to afford is having to pay yourself first. Nobody is saying don’t pay your bills, don’t get into those bills in the first place. People always by homes they can’t afford or $720 car payments.
Tithe first. God is the source of everything we have. “Honor the LORD with your wealth…”. (Pr. 3:9) That’s all I’d add to your excellent presentation. 👍
Notice in ur job all those that don't care for the business u work in will be ge ones who get promotions those that care for the business and have loyalty are the ones that never get anywhere and this is why so many businesses fail. I've seen it in all jobs I work and I have 3 jobs. When ur young you must take urself out of the mindset of working a 9-5. Hussle and hussle hard get 2 or 3 jobs and use one job to pay ur bills and the other side hussles as wealth builders like investments etc...
From paying for day care and college, to managing mortgage payments. I'm approaching retirement yet inflation is getting worse. How can I generate more income to retire with at least $3m for long term care? I have about 750k in savings.
At the end of the day, there's no one particular way of bridging that gap. but starting to save early and investing in the financial markets can never go wrong. if I were to start over in 2024 with less than $50k I would still use the portfolio management play-book.
She goes by "Amber Kay Wright" I suggest you look her up. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finances, but so glad I did.
This is great advice. The 4 items you listed keep one honest and the state of finances transparent. With enough time, the method is a sure way to building sustainable wealth. Thank you.
Wow, Brian, thank YOU so much for providing a great source of information for the majority of us. Your videos are always so informative and very easy to follow. I hope you have a wonderful day yourself. Take care!
Leaving your old job can be tricky. You've gotta be careful to not wind up making your life worse with your aspirations to make it better. I find stability and cutting all expenses more valuable than taking chances trying to find higher pay right now.
You can get stressful because you had to take time off from your work to go to Interview and by doing so it might increase your workload later on or your boss might suspect something
I love your videos. You give the best & practical advice all the time for just average, everyday folks. Most of us are no where near rich so thank you very much 🙏 You’re greatly appreciated

@@Todjcamnot really
@@luxurybuzz3681 yeah really. Explain otherwise
This is the first budgeting vid that had my complete attention. Wasnt boring, straight to points, good examples and nice voice to listen to
We need more wise and compassionate individuals like you, Adrian Ruthnik. Your support arrived at the perfect moment, and your contributions are deeply appreciated.
I always looked at my 401k as “paying myself”. If i had more, then I would save more.
Great channel!
Step 1 my thought is paying off any consumer debt such as credit cards and auto loans should be priority one before worrying about investing
Definitely some truth to that.
Dude, you rock. I’m 22 and this is great information for me, thank you. 🙏🏽
The efficiency of Adrian Ruthnik is next level. Managing walkthroughs from various angles with such clarity is remarkable. Making complex topics easy to understand is really something. Awesome work!
Thank you so much for the honest truth about paying your bills first.
I am trying to pay my credit cards. I am 35 and I am in debt with credit card but I am paying them so I only got 3 more to go.. I will use this in the future
This is so real. I love the applying for job tip. That 100% makes sense. Thanks for the real info :)
Always pay yourself first , it’s a mindset, don’t get into monthly payments unless you can afford, being able to afford is having to pay yourself first. Nobody is saying don’t pay your bills, don’t get into those bills in the first place. People always by homes they can’t afford or $720 car payments.
dont get into payments at all
@@taylamayde exactly, tell my son that all the time, they are robbing you!
The analyze #2. Is most definitely the significant other that is the black hole Guaranteed! 💯
Love your no nonsence approach, straight talk & insight. Wow !! So refreshing.🎉🎉🎉🎉
Tithe first. God is the source of everything we have. “Honor the LORD with your wealth…”. (Pr. 3:9)
That’s all I’d add to your excellent presentation. 👍
Do you have God’s routing/account numbers? I can’t seem to find them. I’m sure he is pissed that I haven’t sent him any cash.
Brian's secret sauce, I put that sh!t on everything, lol. Happy Monday.
LOL K-oiya! Thanks for that laugh and I wish you a great day!
@clearvaluetax9382 thanks, same to you!
Lol😂
Very good video! Skip Dave Ramsey… this sums it up in simplicity!! Love it! ❤
Yes，totally agree
Totally agree. You pay your utilities and debt first. And then reassess your lifestyle how do you cut off those bills
Notice in ur job all those that don't care for the business u work in will be ge ones who get promotions those that care for the business and have loyalty are the ones that never get anywhere and this is why so many businesses fail. I've seen it in all jobs I work and I have 3 jobs. When ur young you must take urself out of the mindset of working a 9-5. Hussle and hussle hard get 2 or 3 jobs and use one job to pay ur bills and the other side hussles as wealth builders like investments etc...
This video is so cute! Heres how my paychecks go... Step one: pay bills. Step 2: broke. No more steps
😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂
Facts.
Rinse and repeat!
Happy Monday Brian! Have a great day!☀️ 🌺
Happy Monday RoseBloom! I wish you a very nice week =)
From paying for day care and college, to managing mortgage payments. I'm approaching retirement yet inflation is getting worse. How can I generate more income to retire with at least $3m for long term care? I have about 750k in savings.
At the end of the day, there's no one particular way of bridging that gap. but starting to save early and investing in the financial markets can never go wrong. if I were to start over in 2024 with less than $50k I would still use the portfolio management play-book.
She goes by "Amber Kay Wright" I suggest you look her up. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finances, but so glad I did.
This is great advice. The 4 items you listed keep one honest and the state of finances transparent. With enough time, the method is a sure way to building sustainable wealth. Thank you.
Wow, Brian, thank YOU so much for providing a great source of information for the majority of us. Your videos are always so informative and very easy to follow. I hope you have a wonderful day yourself. Take care!
Leaving your old job can be tricky. You've gotta be careful to not wind up making your life worse with your aspirations to make it better. I find stability and cutting all expenses more valuable than taking chances trying to find higher pay right now.
You can get stressful because you had to take time off from your work to go to Interview and by doing so it might increase your workload later on or your boss might suspect something
"just got paid today
got me a pocketful of change..."
Happy Payday!!!
Glad someone like you exists on UA-cam
Thank you Akhon! I appreciate you too!
I love your videos. You give the best & practical advice all the time for just average, everyday folks. Most of us are no where near rich so thank you very much 🙏 You’re greatly appreciated
Wow I’m so happy because I have been doing EXACTLY like this for the last 15 years and I’m doing fine even though the economy is crap.
Best tax/finance Yt channel on UA-cam imo.
💯
Your right. Paying my bills 1st gets the near 800 credit score I earned and 0% credit cards
Credit score is playing footsie with the bank. Too many credit cards, loans, etc. Get rid of these things.
