Every time I get paid in 2025, I’d follow a simple routine to build wealth and stay financially secure.

First, I’d automate essentials: covering bills, rent/mortgage, and necessities.

Next, I’d invest at least 20%, prioritizing retirement accounts, index funds, and any high-yield opportunities.

I’d allocate a portion to savings, ensuring I have an emergency fund and future goals covered.

The key? Pay yourself first, invest consistently, and make every dollar work for you.
