The Pay-Yourself-First Secret: How Do Savers Build Wealth?

Most of us were taught to spend what we need, pay what we owe, and save whatever might be left, but what if savings came first? In this episode of Financially Confident Christian, I explain the power of paying yourself first to ensure you save money consistently. This simple shift in your approach to personal finance helps savers actually win without pressure or guilt, offering practical saving money tips for effective money management. By adopting this money mindset, you can achieve financial peace and reach your goals.

In Episode 23, “Would a $1,000 Emergency Savings Fund Change Everything?”, I showed how building a starter emergency fund creates peace and confidence. Building on that, this episode focuses on how savers build wealth by prioritizing themselves first. I discuss the emotional and spiritual benefits of this approach, connecting financial habits with faithfulness and consistency. I encourage you to set up automatic transfers to make saving effortless and sustainable. My prayer is that this episode helps you embrace the pay‑yourself‑first principle and grow both financially and spiritually with confidence.
