My base salary is $184,000 and it's payday, so here's how I budget my paycheck as a financially responsible 37-year-old based in Houston, Texas.

It's paydayyy... this is exactly how I budget my paycheck 💸 If you want to get better at money this year, I just launched a FREE mini-course that covers all the personal finance basics about mindset, budgeting, the exact accounts and tools I use, and the money system I used to go from $0 to $1m in net worth in under 7 years.

We help define and execute the company's most strategic, highest risk, and highest investment projects like real estate transactions, mergers and acquisitions, divestments, software implementations, etc. I have a bachelors and a masters degree in business. I don't have any debt other than my mortgages. I max out all of my retirement accounts: - HSA (my employer contributes $1k on my behalf) - 401k (I had a big bonus earlier this year so my contributions are lower) - Roth (I make over the limit so I do a conversion) This is not my only income. I also own a rental property and earn some money from social media (not a lot yet though!). This is just the routine I do 2x a month after getting paid from my corporate job. I'm not living paycheck to paycheck, I use "zero-based" budgeting 😄 All my personal finance educational resources are free because I believe health money habits are for everyone at any age, on any income, and personal finance education should be accessible to all. I appreicate all the DMs asking me out on a date but I am very happily partnered, I just don't show him much online for our own privacy. It's flattering though! #PersonalFinance #money #fintok #payday
