00:00:00.801 --> 00:00:02.135
Pay yourself first.

00:00:03.971 --> 00:00:06.740
Think you don't make
enough money to save some of it?

00:00:08.976 --> 00:00:10.143
Think again.

00:00:10.644 --> 00:00:13.614
If you earn $25,000 a year for 40 years,

00:00:14.081 --> 00:00:15.949
you will have earned $1 million.

00:00:16.650 --> 00:00:18.886
Earned $35,000 for 40 years

00:00:19.286 --> 00:00:21.521
and you've earned $1.4 million.

00:00:22.556 --> 00:00:25.459
And if you earn $45,000 for 40 years,

00:00:25.893 --> 00:00:28.228
you'd have made $1.8 million.

00:00:29.129 --> 00:00:30.430
Pay yourself first

00:00:30.497 --> 00:00:32.666
and you can get ahead in the savings game.

00:00:32.933 --> 00:00:36.536
Here's what can happen when you save
just $100 a month for 40 years.

00:00:36.970 --> 00:00:40.474
At 3% interest,
you would have about $93,000.

00:00:41.341 --> 00:00:42.776
At 5% interest,

00:00:42.843 --> 00:00:46.079
you'd have about $153,240

00:00:46.413 --> 00:00:48.615
And if you've got 9% interest,

00:00:48.882 --> 00:00:51.585
you'd have about $472,000.

00:00:52.319 --> 00:00:54.821
That's the power of paying yourself first.

00:00:55.188 --> 00:00:58.225
After all, it's not what you earn,
it's what you keep.
