The Importance Of Paying Yourself First
One of the oldest rules of personal finance is the simple admonition to pay yourself first. All the money books tell you to do it. All the personal finance blogs say it, too. Even your parents have given you the same advice.

One day a hare was making fun of a tortoise for being slow, while a the same time he bragged about his own speed.
