Give. Live. Save. is a counterintuitive, common-sense way to look at and win in your finances. Winning in your finances is any small financial discipline created that helps you produce forward momentum on your financial journey. These disciplines include the first three nonnegotiables in your budget, which should also be prioritized in your life. These disciplines are needed for you to build a solid foundation for today and will help you build a legacy for tomorrow.



Start with give because it forces you to live on less than you make, softens your heart, and makes you a better person. You become more outwardly focused, and it helps you stop comparing your life to others. This will help you clear clutter from your life by consuming less nonessentials and just collecting stuff.



Next is live. Your family is your support system. As they are your support system, it is your responsibility to make sure your family has their basics needs covered! Make sure your family has food on the table, roof over their heads, and basic transportation and clothing before you even worry about paying your other bills. Taking care of your family will help them see your vision and be all the support you need to help the entire family win financially and build a legacy for future generations. You will also be taught the importance of getting out of debt in order to build a solid foundation for your financial future.



The final one is save. Saving is all about protecting your current financial situation by helping you stay on solid ground by saying no to debt. You will be taught to use your own money to cover your emergencies, fund your lifestyle, and plan for your future.



Prioritizing these three disciplines in your finances will not only help you win financially but these disciplines will translate into many other areas of your life.
