Always pay yourself 1st! If anyone deserves a portion of your hard earned money it should be you. Right? Remember, we save to be FREE. Start getting prepared for an emergency and save $1,000 in 30 days.
Stay away from debt by all means necessary. Eliminate it as soon as possible. Borrow money ONLY for investment purposes, if necessary, and have a detailed business plan with an exit strategy to reduce the risk of loss/debt.
