Pay yourself first

"Pay yourself first" is a phrase referencing the personal finance strategy of saving first before paying for anything else. To implement the "pay yourself first" strategy, individuals route a designated amount of each paycheck into a savings plan as soon as the check is received. Developing this as a habit keeps the saver on track to meet future savings goals.
