Paying yourself first means that when you get a paycheck or other source of income, you put some of that money in a savings account before you pay your bills or buy things that you want.
Making regular payments to yourself, even in small amounts, can add up over time.
It is important to put your money in a savings account in order to get the most out of it. The amount your money grows depends on the interest rate and the amount of time you leave it in the account.
