The 'Pay Yourself First' Rule: Automating Your Wealth

Many users of the Rich Dad App find they have no money left for assets at month's end. The reason is usually: Wrong Order.

Poor Dad's Order

Income -> Pay Bills -> Consume -> (Nothing left) -> Save/Invest

Rich Dad's Order

Income -> Invest in Assets (Pay Yourself First) -> Pay Bills -> Consume

How to Execute?

This takes discipline, or—Automation.

1. Auto-Transfer: On payday, auto-move 10-20% to your investment account.
2. Force Log: Record this as an "Asset Increase" in the App immediately.
3. Survive on the Rest: Use the remainder for bills. The pressure will force you to cut waste or earn more.

When you treat "getting rich" as your highest priority bill, wealth is just a matter of time.
