Money rules
Eight habits that compound
General guidance, not personal advice.
01
Pay yourself first
Move money to savings the day you are paid, before spending.
02
Build a buffer
Aim for three to six months of essentials in an easy-access account.
03
Kill costly debt
High-interest balances beat most investments as a guaranteed return.
04
Keep costs low
Fees compound too. Small percentages add up over decades.
05
Diversify
Spread money across assets so one bad bet cannot sink the plan.
06
Automate
Standing orders remove the daily temptation to time the market.
07
Start early
Time does more work than size. Begin with whatever you can.
08
Review yearly
Check goals and balances once a year, not every day.
