JACOB’S TOP FINANCE TIP

"If you can save one month of expenses in the bank, you can start living on last month's income. This allows you to automate your entire budget, paying all monthly bills in the first week of the month and leaving the rest as spending money. That's the simplest way to budget, save and build wealth."
