Pay First, Eat Later

This does not mean that we go to a restaurant and pay first and eat second. Unless it is a fast-food shop, then we must pay beforehand.
What it means is to earn money first, then spend. We must never spend money from borrowing. The true meaning is here.
We Chinese always say that your spending must be within your income. Only if we do this, life will be peaceful.
Nowadays, credit cards are popular and many people use money to buy things with credit cards, without a budget. Some have miserable consequences.
If you keep the principle of paying first, eating later, you will have financial surplus. You shall be never short of money, forever living a good life.
On the other hand, you are a person to keep money tightly in your hands. Money will not slip away from your hands.
Money itself has some sense of soul, which knows your character, and will think you are a good master in its world.
