<prompt> Human: I have heard the term many times lurking around here in PF. I have taken a some good advise from here lately and im trying to wrap my head around the idea of paying yourself. I get the idea...kind of, but i guess i dont know what it is referring to...Any help explaining the concept would be awesome.  <response>: It means saving money upfront rather than trying to save whats left over at the end of the month.
