Written by Matt Wegner, Founder and Lead Counselor, Matt Wegner Financial Coaching, www.financialexcellence.net.  Pay yourself first There are hundreds, if not thousands of financial gurus out there, all spewing the same advice: live on less than you make, pay down debt, avoid credit, invest early and often, etc. It begins to sound like a broken record with them all saying the same stuff.

That phrase (or dare I say buzzword) has been uttered so many times over the last 20 years that people have become sick of hearing it. And whenever I mention paying yourself first in a coaching session with my clients, their eyes start rolling and their faces show an unmistakable look of disgust.
