A part of all you earn is yours to keep.

Pay yourself first: Before you pay the landlord, groceries, or for any fun, take at least 10% of every dollar you earn and set it aside for your future self. By living on the remaining 90%, you learn to control your spending while your savings become "seeds" that you plant through wise investments. Eventually, those seeds grow into a "money tree" that works for you, ensuring you never have to work for money forever.
