Building wealth heavily relies on your answer
The reason some people always have money is because they pay themselves first, and then they pay everyone else second.
What is the first thing you do with your money when it hits your bank account?
Do you pay your bills first?
Do you take care of your family?
Do you spend it on non-essential items?
The average person always puts their money everywhere except where it needs to go, which is into themselves (investments).
The sooner you learn what to do with your money first, the sooner you will increase or build your wealth.
Always pay yourself first (saving and investing), then pay everyone else.
Never habitually sacrifice yourself financially for others if you truly want to build wealth.
