Do THIS When You Get Paid (Paycheck Routine)

[@простойпарень-ь1ы]

Is all about having a conscious responsible mindset to protect your home, credibility, My grandmother always told me put away and save at least $50-$100 in *Pecuniary backdoors* . Every time I get paid ..As paying yourself as a bill put the money in an envelope that’s emergency cash for household and myself. take the rest of the pay and take care of your rent and your other expenses… thank you for this video is very informative.

I know you hate spreadsheets, but I love them. I have a budget for 6 major categories and check in weekly with my husband. I have 6 HYSA set up for different goals. I manually go in and do payments for CC and bills. We saved over $4k last month (50% of our income)🎉🎉

[@HayesChad]

We do the same!!

[@patr3706]

I remember when I thought that saving 50% was the objective.. 😂 Now I realized that we never celebrated looking at our bank statement every month.. 🤷‍♂️ One thing I learned watching Ramit is that the focus shouldn't be on how great your saving rate is, but what % do you allocate to pursue your "rich life" as a couple.... I came upon Ramit when I was full on the "Fire/Frugality" movement. I got excited about cutting expenses, raising the saving rate 50% and more... never thinking about "what is my rich life". As a couple, hitting the 50% saving rate on a spreadsheet doesn't provide any kind of memorable moments. But when we started shifting my mindset towards "our rich life", it totally changed our relationship with money. We don't celebrate 🎉 🎉 our savings rate, now we focus on increasing the % we allocate to our CSP. This is where we live memorable experiences as a couple, vacations, going to a nice restaurant, a great stand up comedy show, spending a day at a spa resort.... this where the 🎉🎉 happens now... not the number on a spreadsheet.

[@brandonmontemayor8178]

How’d you go about following bills? My situation is I make good good money, but my bills are also ridiculously expensive. I get paid and I immediately put some away into savings. Pay my mortgage, truck, insurance blah blah blah, then of course electric comes up at $500, then heating oil and much more. It’s random too since I’m basically just paying what I can at that moment. Which seems to be how a lot of my bills go. I don’t spend money. I live frugal, I make enough money it’s just like timing is so screwed that I physically can’t seem to get it all paid and under control to start saving. Of course money has never been an issue for me until I got divorced. Then every penny I had ever saved was no longer mine and I got stuck with all the bills. No problem. Sold the house, all the toys and trucks, then been trying to get set up since then and I’m sure it’s something that I’m doing wrong but I can’t seem to figure it out and get everything paid on time, as well as saving some. I eat very well considering I harvest my own meat and grow my own vegetables. But sheesh, I still don’t have a savings account again

We just arrived here 🇺🇸 10 months ago, I thought we will be negative in our networth as we have a car loan. Our First loan ever!😅, we travel to other states, eat out like 2-3x a month and send money back home. Surprisingly, we stay positive and hit our 2 months worth of Emergency fund, have our joint account, match our 403B, start funding Roth IRA. Our annual income falls to the lower bracket and we don’t do extra shift coz we love day offs! It is the saving and spending awareness that matters. We spend only what we can afford. We use credit cards and paid it off monthly. Having cashback rewards from CC is a plus.

[@stefflores]

Automation was the biggest game changer I learned from your book! I have my paycheck split into 3 accounts on payday, 1 checking account for bills, 1 savings account for sinking funds and investing, and a 2nd checking account for spending money, that is also where I pay off my credit cards from. I don't have to do anything to make sure everything gets paid while I'm also saving and investing. Love the low effort of it all!

[@lowlowseesee]

your system is like mine. ive seen ramit talk about only having one checking account and when Im making more I might do that, right now having two saves me a lot. im in an old building and they still have me writing checks. plus im low income lol

[@thisisthewroten]

Twin! 🎉😊

[@justkimintheworld6298]

I do this but I made sure to set up due dates for a few days after my payday so that there's a couple of days of buffer between the two in case something goes wrong with my direct deposit. So if you get paid on the 1st set up due dates for the 5th. I used to work in customer service for a major credit card and there were so many people who didn't understand that you can actually pay your bill early. So if you get paid on the first and your credit card bill isn't due until the 17th, it's not a huge deal. Just pay your card on the 1st or 2nd of the month. There is no rule that says you have to wait until the exact due date to make your payments.

I live on Social Security first thing I do is put a set amount of money into savings ( 20%) pay all my bills the only thing I pay yearly is my real estate taxes the rest ( I get paid 3rd Wednesday ) I divide by however many weeks that check has to last that's my budget been doing this since May of 2020 works for me

[@carolannstevens5814]

So good you save 20%!!!

[@BWCDAD]

this video was just suggested to me by "the algorithm". Great advice. I've been using a system like this for a few years. In your first flowchart, I would also add an HSA in addition to the 401K funded with pretax salary funds. And have the HSA funded so your paycheck schedule funds the HSA limit by the end of the year. Same philosophy with funding the Roth IRA. I have my contributions deducted from my checking account weekly at 1/52 of the annual limit to take advantage of dollar cost averaging. Also as far as contributions, I would say first meet your company 401K match percentage (pretax dollars), then max your HSA contribution (pretax dollars) then max your Roth IRA contribution, and then go back to increasing your 401K contribution as your budget and other savings goals allow. Keep in mind that your Roth contributions can always be taken out penalty free, so is essentially an invested emergency fund.

[@andreamckenzie8598]

I like this! I do something similar actually, where my paycheck is actually divided by payroll and broken out directly into my Fixed Expenses Account, Emergency Savings Account, Guilt Free Spending Savings account (like saving for vacations and w/e), and general checking. It's worked for me thus far! Just always re-evaluating to be sure I actually have the fixed expenses properly accounted for 😅 next is setting up automatic payments for most of my cards, already have it for my utilities.

[@danmeck5978]

I don't like automation for saving - i looove transfering the money myself. Its so rewarding.

[@ramitsethi]

I think the message from this video is: DREAM BIGGER! If you like transferring money, okay...but what is it costing you to play that small? Are you having specific conversations about your savings rate / investment rate? (Most people who are stuck transferring money every month never do. They're trapped in the weeds.) Are you carefully designing your Rich Life? Or are you simply playing the same game you've been playing for 20+ years? Again, if you truly enjoy transferring money every month, great. But I've found that people who continue to do this keep playing small -- and I consider it a tragedy to live a smaller life than you have to.

One very helpful automation for me, since I get paid every two weeks, is to move half a month's rent into a rent-only savings account and I pay my rent from those funds.

Also, I've been able to save a buffer over the years with the occasional third paycheck in a month.

Wife and I have a ton of student debt to pay back so we built up a healthy (to us) high yield savings account and have stopped adding to it. Every month we have an automated investment in a brokerage account into a low cost index fund. We also max our 401(k). We venmo our landlord for rent. Then we aggressively apply the avalanche method to our student debt currently but we are considering buying a house so we may shift some of that to saving for a larger down payment.

[@murham3897]

A lot of times you can send you paycheck to more than one direct deposit location. I do this with my regular savings along with retirement.

We are late starter's in our 50's but we are not going to use that as an excuse. No one in our families has ever held investments so they can't help. So we have started with vanguard. I feel at least we will have a bit more for when we do retire and that will help. So thanks for pointing us in the right direction.

[@IQLion]

I really like the idea of setting up a buffer and will probably go down that road. I kept watching your videos about automating money, but has been skeptical about it, because some of our bills are irregular in amount and timing. For example, most of our utilities are based on a 30-day month, rather then set date. Also, something like electric bill could vary between $90 and $150 depending on usage, weather, etc. Since me and my spouse have a joint checking account, that may be a perfect place to setup a buffer to ensure everything gets paid on time and my wife is aware of what payments are being made.

One thing I’ve always wondered since reading Ramit’s first book: Because we are paying our bills with the credit card, wouldn’t the credit card’s due date be the only billing date we need to adjust?

[@embercello9688]

I indeed pay most of my bills via my credit union cc that gives 1.5% back on *every* charge (so I ultimately get a 1.5% discount on those bills), but some places charge fees if paid via cc, so those I auto-pay via checking.

[@HousePlant_Ambient]

Really love your vibe. I started to automate several billing payment to be automatically withdrawn from cc to earn cash back and that cash back automatically going to my high yield savings account. All while at the end of the month - my cc gets paid in full from my secondary checking account where I have a fix percentage going into for billing purposes only. This was an absolutely game changer, thank you. 🙏🏼

Billing is typically more complicated than this. There's the close date and the due date, which can be anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 weeks apart. Best to just not live paycheck to paycheck so you don't have to worry about this at all.

[@no_goo]

Its not that hard. U set up autopay accordingly to match your pay schedule. You can pay bills before they’re due…. You just pick a day for the autopay. And some bills let you choose the due date anyway when u set up acct.

[@stephaniel6867]

Billing is only complicated if you allow it to be. Also what does this method have to do with living paycheck to paycheck. I do something very similar but have my funds go in their designated accounts with direct deposit including investing & I have over a year of regular living expenses saved up. How does that equate to living paycheck to paycheck? I also invest almost 50% of my income. So I'm sure I don't fall in the category of living paycheck to paycheck; however, people need strategies in order to be successful. Also 6 weeks on a credit card is such a stretch. They're generally about 10 days.

I’m doing this! Automate savings account. This gives me stress-free monthly budgeting. The day after the payday, funds were already transferred to its allocated savings account. What’s left on my checking are just for the bills payment. What ever is left in the checking after all bills will be paid will be moved to the buffer fund.

[@kerrydaniels8460]

I've mostly done this except i alway prioritize "the buffer" as 3-6 months expenses and it is actually what I call my emergency fund. If I don't have this I focus every last dime snd energy I have into building it (outside my company match). I fund it like a mob is pointing a gun at my head to get it done. Once my efund is funded, THEN I go balls to the wall investing way past the match since I'm good to go even if I lost my job the next day. Currently, it's a year's worth due to contract work, but normally it's 6 months worth. I also used to do lump sums for my IRA at the beginning of each year, but now I'm switching to monthly DCA. I also do buckets for vacations, car, etc. now. Your vid made me clean it up a bit more as my cc's payments although always paid in full amd never late, had multiple due dates.

Glad to have stumbled on this comment, Please who is the consultant that assist you and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with them?

[@donovantobs]

Her name is Mary Kaliope Braun’. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

[@victoriaabott]

Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up after scrolling a bit. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her. Once again many thanks

The 3 steps were very informative. I'm actually already doing almost exactly the 3 steps unconscious. Learning from other types of budgeting methods being combined and adjusting which suited be best 😊😊

[@JulieDavis-hp2ko]

Ramit--- This is God sent... I've been looking for something that works for me.. Listened to budgeting gurus and financial tips and tricks, but just wasn't helping. The idea in mind was what works for me--- single mom -- that needs to overhaul her finances, teach my kids to save now, create an AI system to do it for me.. I love the perspective you have am so grateful your video popped up in my thread... Where can I get advice to create a strategy to get me out of credit card debt---options using my equity from my house or the snowball/avalanche system?

[@godwin_njoroge]

Wow, this was so helpful. Especially that last section about adjusting this for those of us with an irregular income. Is it possible to make a video about how to make bigger plans for yourself and your family(marriage, education, building a home etc.) if you have a inconsistent income sources?

[@ramitsethi]

I'd recommend my book and Money Coaching program: iwt.com/moneycoaching

Omg! I finally watch you on Netflix!❤. I need help!😢.. seriously at53..fail in restuarant business. Went back to work ,four year later we now started another business with everything we got!. No retirement savings 😢

[@AraMo514]

You’re incredible !!! Thank you so much for this, it’s THE video that we all needed

[@gregothy9190]

As a uk citizen, its so interesting how clunky your banking system is. We have direct debits, standing orders, and instant bank transfers. I've never touched a check in my life.

[@harishrp4449]

that's why UK is bankrupt and US is not

[@keithwicks9103]

We literally have all of that too. Did you even watch the video?

[@CJohnson-lk9cq]

What makes you think we don’t have the same? Old people sill insist on writing checks occasionally.

[@zarimc]

Tip: if you’re employer allows multiple direct deposit accounts, you maybe able to automate your savings and Roth IRA investments before your money hits your checking account at all.

[@stephaniel6867]

Unless you're over the threshold for Roth and have to do it at one time but can still put it in a HYSA until you accumulate the total.

[@Nisa-gm5wg]

Love these videos better than when you do the videos with the couples. Keep it coming

[@rachaelb5465]

Thanks for the helpful video, I get salary sacrifice through work. I have recently got that amount directly paid into my credit card, this is defiantly helping me pay it off quickly, and with money before it's taxed.

[@ProjectM97]

My paycheck arrives last day of month. ALL of my bills are due the next day on the 1st of the month. My investment and savings are also done on the 1st. I leave a checking account buffer equal to my average monthly expenses. Easy.

[@riku3716]

My, paycheck routine. Go to online bank on payday and move everything above predetermined level to secondary account. Good, done, see you next month bank. What is left has chunk automatically invested, automatically pays bills and what is left is enough for month's normal expenses with a couple hundred euro buffer. If I don't use everything (as usually) next payday has money above that preset limit and I repeat the process. The secondary account the "leftover savings" go to is for rarer large purchases, trips, sometimes extra investing on funds that are not open monthly, maybe cover losses if I choose to take unpaid extra vacation. (The paid 5 weeks isn't that much in the end. Goes just like that.)

[@XimenaRodriguez-x2h]

Hi, Mr. Ramit I'm in Costa Rica just want to say Thank You for an awesome channel.

[@Rashad3000]

Ramit, keep up the outstanding work man. I love your channel.

[@ramitsethi]

Thank you

A little off topic, but where are these sweaters from? They look fantastic.

[@ivysapphire6944]

If your job has allotments, you can have your money divided that way. Allotments are separate from net to bank. My job has three slots. One I set for my expenses account, roth ira, and savings. My expenses account is set up to have all bills automated. My net to bank is variable spending like gas and groceries or out to eat etc. However, do what works for you. This is just something I do since reading his book. Good luck

[@HowToGoSupernova]

What advice do you have for tip workers? I'm in barber school now and I worry about not getting paychecks for the first time. Money acquired in drips and drabs and seasons of busyness and slowdowns. I'm already not great w with Money. Love your book! Thanks

[@lowlowseesee]

Heard this guy on the ceo pod. Already ordered the book. Never cared about money til now lol

[@CHINOEKUSH]

Not trying to brag, but I've been doing this for years. My roth and 401k has grown so much. I wasn't aware that not enough people were automating their payments. Kinda thought it was common sense.

[@WorldWideWeasel]

Common sense isn’t common. Not to say that to be funny.

Watching in Netflix has opened my eyes!

I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Claudia Jenkins.

[@memphisginger2751]

Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing her been mentioned here also Didn’t know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, i'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super.

[@bobwarshaw8439]

The very first time we tried, we invested $1400 and after a week, we received $5230. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.

[@samdiesel714]

Jenkins' expertise in customizing investment portfolios based on changing market conditions and personal risk profiles is exceptional. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach, which is crucial in crypto investing.

[@pharrellosullivan8688]

You trade with Claudia Jenkins too? Wow that woman has been a blessing to me and my family.

Best budgeting video EVER!! Thank you!

[@rcasel9187]

This almost sexy to listen to 😂. The budgeting for dummies video we didn't know we needed 💪

[@mannya_realtor]

I’m talking to a ton of people who make so much money but only allocate a percentage of it. One person said their take home was 60% of what it actually was and doesn’t account for where the other 40% goes. It would be great if they could specifically say where that money in their budget goes

[@anabanannapants]

The biweekly payment schedule is the bane of automation. Ive still managed to automate most things.

[@KFontLab]

Great video!… Thanks! I have watched several of your videos this weekend. I’m going to buy your book!

[@MyNameIsNotPatrick]

By 0:48 I was ready to click your link for the free audio book and pay only $14.99 for 3 bonus courses. 😂

[@Brad25King]

Good stuff, but I would make very sure I could always pay off my credit card, every month, before setting everything up to be paid by CC. I know, in these examples we assume your income covers your outgoings fully, but one missed CC payment messes everything up!

[@PorschegirlEst7]

The key is, if you set an auto cash amount allocation to yourself per paycheck and everything else is on the credit card you should never fall into a hole because the money is in your account already to pay the cc statement in full. The real question is, are you not confident that you can see money in your checking account and not be tempted to withdraw or use it? That money is an illusion because it is already spent even though you can see it. It’s just awaiting the auto PIF cc payment to be deducted. If you think for a moment you can’t avoid the temptation of spending the money just because it “appears” to be available then you’re not ready for the auto pay in full cc plan. It’s better to be honest than to miss a credit payment due to lack of funds.

[@MoonDirectedTarot]

What if you are a gig worker? Or a Waiter? Or self-employed? How do I manage money when it comes inconsistently. ie: varied amounts and varied number of days? Do you have a video for that? Or can you make one please?

[@jacobbenivamondez4460]

Thank you for sharing this video . I’m new to this channel and have learned tons from just watching 1 show a day.

[@HULYRICSTV]

More power to you, being self employed is very challenging but very fulfilling and there is where you can see your true potential. It’s scary at the beginning but super simple once you get a workflow. For people reading this just getting into the entrepreneur lifestyle from a 9 to 5. Just used the schedule and apply it to your line of work. Also do not start a business with a loan, choose a net 30 instead.

[@BrnWil333]

This is great but I don't understand the 401K part....🤔

[@RUGRAF-rf8fi]

Some bills when automated have limits on the date allowed. As a ssi/pension recipient that does not always line up with my income needs I have arranged many that work others I must do manually I simply set reminder on my phone/ computer to alert me T few days before and the day of due date. That has worked good for me. No more past due notices in my email! I like knowing where my money is going to keep budget on track. Slush fund too for emergency use!!

[@faithsrvtrip8768]

I pay myself first and move money to an account that pays me interest. Absolutely, set up auto pay and set up linked accounts so you can easily move money.

[@joshuaortega8201]

Your videos are such a blessing, so glad they came up in our algorithm!!! Thank you! -josh&kari

[@jonathancajas2932]

Hey Ramit what do you recommend for someone who is Muslim and can’t invest in the stock market? There are “halal” stocks but they still have interest and I am more on the side that we do not accept nor pay interest.

[@e.v.vasilkova]

Thank you for the idea of changing payments dates! That's very useful! 🙏
