My dad had several zingers. The first has been named here several times; pay yourself first. The second, “don’t tell me how much you made, tell me how much you saved”. I think this one is unique to dad; “poop in one hand and wish in the other, then tell me which one fills up first”.

Specifically for investing…costs matter.
You have to save big to have big money. Allocation will not make it by itself.
Live within your means.
Living WELL below your means, get that emergency account established with 9 mos. of living costs, save for retirement as soon as you get a job!!!
