Speaker argues that you should treat saving for your future self as a non-negotiable payment: commit a percentage or fixed amount of your income to prioritize wealth creation and support your family's future. The message frames this as a firm agreement with oneself that you will 'pay' your future self regardless of circumstances.
Tomorrow. If your income got cut in half, I guarantee you would figure out a way to survive and live life. That's what we're talking about. You just made a non negotiable agreement with yourself that said, hey, I'm going to take care of future self, I'm going to capitalize, I'm going to prioritize my wealth creation. I'm going to put X amount of dollars aside. Whether it's a percentage of your income or a certain amount of dollars, I'm going to put that aside and it's non negotiable because that's the payment that I've decided to make toward my banking system, toward my family's wealth, our future, whatever words you want.
