We need to break the cycle of paycheck-to-paycheck

I'm Guilty of doing it..

You have a mere $25 in your account, 1/4 tank of gas in your vehicle. Your cell phone bill and credit card payment were due 3 days ago..

Yet, you got to McDonald's to get lunch and spend $10.

Did you know that eating out everyday for lunch at just $10 a day, will turn into $300 in a typical month! Yes, that's easy math.. but, where did you stop before work? Convenience store, maybe?

You need to take some of that paycheck and put it away.

One more time..

You need to take some of that paycheck and put it away.

Start with $20, then $50... $80... $100. Just remember debts come first. Save now, play later. Maybe you should try Acorns to put away your "spare change." Then just simply forget about it!

Did you know that 40% of adult Americans can't afford a $400 emergency? (Source: Forbes) That really opened my eyes up. I was one of them and I needed to do something about it! I hope you do as well!
