• The only way to escape financial misery is to stop falling for the biggest money mistake and pay yourself first.
• Paying yourself first means saving at least 10 percent of what you make and putting it into an account you cannot touch.
• The second most important step is to increase your ability to earn through education and marketable skills.
• Saving money is better than not saving, but keeping money in a standard bank account causes you to lose value over time due to inflation.
• To build real wealth, you must learn how to invest your money in assets like real estate, gold, and index funds.
