Steve's BANKCODE - KANB

Kimberly's BANKCODE - AKNB

People with KANB as their BANKCODE are primarily spontaneous and innovative thinkers—who thrive on opportunity and excitement—and use their analytical minds and logic to solve problems.

People with AKNB as their BANKCODE are primarily movers, shakers, and millionaire-makers—with logical, strategic, and analytical minds—and they are typically driven to succeed!

KNOWLEDGE (K) types never want to stop learning and are some of the smartest people we know. You value reason above all else and have an uncanny ability to analyze a situation quickly and accurately. No one can spot and correct an error faster than you. Not only do you enjoy learning, but you are also good at it, in part because of your lifelong quest for self-mastery. Your unique abilities to think abstractly and plan strategically make you a world-class problem solver. While some people struggle to stay interested in complex topics, you thrive when asked to analyze difficult material, enjoying every second.

ACTION (A) types are some of the most fun and influential people around—and you are no exception! You are a born entertainer who always has a good story to tell. Not only are you unafraid to take risks, you are always on the lookout for new opportunities to disrupt and improve upon the status quo. If anyone is going to be involved in the next big thing, it’s you! To call yourself a “go-getter” is an understatement. You are always searching for better opportunities to jump into headfirst. Anyone who gets in your way should watch out! You have almost endless energy and are a fierce competitor.

The Importance of Paying Yourself First

December 12, 20241 min read

Hi there! Let’s talk about one of the most powerful principles in personal finance: paying yourself first. It’s a concept that can transform your financial habits and help you achieve lasting stability.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE MONEY CLEANSE

You might be thinking, "What does paying myself first even mean?" It’s simple: before you pay your bills, cover expenses, or even indulge in a treat, set aside money for you—for your savings, investments, or emergency fund. Think of it as prioritizing your future self.

In The Money Cleanse, we emphasize how important it is to align your spending with your values. By paying yourself first, you’re ensuring that your money serves your long-term goals rather than just your short-term wants.

Here’s how you can start:

  1. Automate It. Schedule a portion of your income—10%, 20%, or whatever you can manage—to go straight to a savings account before you even see it.

  2. Visualize the Future. Picture yourself in 5, 10, or 20 years. Paying yourself first creates the foundation for that version of you to thrive.

  3. Reduce Financial Stress. Having an emergency fund or growing investments ensures you’re prepared for life’s surprises.

Remember, paying yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s self-care. You’re building a life of freedom

and security, one deposit at a time.

If you’ve never tried this before, consider it part of your own money cleanse. Start small, track your progress, and watch how empowering it feels to put yourself at the top of your financial to-do list.

So, what step will you take today to pay yourself first? Let me know in the comments 

Feeling overwhelmed? Join us in The Money Cleanse by Freedom Group Global where we’ll guide you through the steps to successfully pay yourself first.
