## Core Financial Principles

### The Money Order of Operations

2. **Small emergency fund** - $1,000 for emergencies
3. **Pay off high-interest debt** - Credit cards first (above 15%)
4. **Full emergency fund** - 3-6 months of expenses
5. **Retirement contributions** - At least to employer match
6. **Pay off other debt** - Student loans, car, etc.
7. **Invest more** - Beyond retirement accounts
8. **Pay off home** - If you have a mortgage
9. **Build wealth** - Investments, real estate, business

## Budgeting Basics

### 50/30/20 Rule
- 50% Needs (housing, food, transport, minimum payments)
- 30% Wants (entertainment, dining, subscriptions)
- 20% Savings/Debt (emergency fund, extra payments, investing)

## Emergency Fund

Why it matters:
- Prevents going into debt for surprises
- Reduces financial stress
- Provides options and freedom

How much:
- Start: $1,000
- Goal: 3-6 months of expenses
- High security: 6-12 months

## The Power of Compound Interest

"Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world."

Starting early matters more than starting with more:
- Investing $200/month from age 25 beats
- Investing $400/month starting at age 35
