1. Money advice – Live below your means
You have heard it. To improve your financial ability spend less than you earn. In other words – live below your means. Spend 70% of your earnings save or invest the balance. Baby – It’s that simple!
How do you live below your means?
a) Budgeting to become rich:
Create a budget and follow it. Without a budget, you can never become rich. Because you have no control over your spending. You like a homeless dog walking aimless, no direction and no purpose in life.
You need to create a plan for your money. Account for every dollar that you have earned. Have you ever heard of the 50/30/20 budget rule?
* Needs get 50% of your income
* Wants get 30% of your monthly income
* Savings get 20% of your monthly income
That is the common budgetary allocation of average people. You don’t want to be average. Do you? If you want to become rich you need to save 50% of your monthly income. That’s what financial shrewd guys do.
b) Automated savings
Have your savings deducted from your paycheck before you touch the money. This way you won’t have the temptation to use the money.

You shouldn’t depend on one income stream. Two or more are better for a guy who wants to become rich. There many ways of making extra income. You need to be creative.

Money is no different from a car, spoon, or any other tool. We use tools to simplify and complete a certain task. Treat money as a tool and you will achieve a lot of success with it.

You need to drive money and never allow money to drive you.
Money Rule:
• * “Never lose your money” not under any circumstance
• * Never forget the rule of money
The best thing you can do is make your savings work for you. Thus don’t put your savings in an ordinary savings account. Put your money in accounts that make money for you. You invest instead of saving in a bank account.

Money is good. It can earn you many very good things. Don’t worry about money. Never say that you can’t afford this or that. Your view about buying power should be, “how can I afford this,” and never, I can’t afford this. You can afford anything in this life as long as you want it bad.
19. Value time over money
Time is the most important item in your life. Without time you can’t do anything. The time utilized well will make more money than you can imagine. Money has no value if you have no time to use or make it work for you.
