In short
Myron Golden teaches the six-can money management system he credits for taking him from a $6.25-an-hour trash truck job to wealth. He walks through the target allocation (50% bills, 10% tithe, 10% legacy, 10% fun, 10% savings, 10% self-education), how to scale it down to 1% or $10 per can if you can't hit those numbers yet, and how to set it up using separate bank accounts. He closes with a William Blake quote about doing things in minute particulars.
Chapters
Key points
- 01
More money amplifies your money problems
If you have money problems now, it's not because you don't have enough money, it's because you have no systematic way of managing what you make.
- 02
The six I Can Cans
Tithe 10%, bills 50%, finish free (legacy) 10%, fun 10%, save for what I want 10%, educate myself 10%.
- 03
The fun can makes you the most money
You must spend every dollar in the fun can each month, because it inspires you to go figure out ways to make more money.
- 04
Start at 1% or $10 per can
If you can't live on 50%, keep the tithe, live on 80 or 90%, and put 1% or even $10 into each of the other cans until you can do better.
- 05
Cut what you don't actually need
Cable, Netflix, eating out at restaurants, shopping for gifts you could make yourself, sharing housing with family to cut expenses.
- 06
Cans are really bank accounts
Open a separate account for each can, move money the moment direct deposit hits, and put each ledger in the physical can it represents.
Lines worth keeping
“You making more money with the same mindset that you have right now is not going to make you richer. It's going to multiply and amplify your money problems.”
The core premise of the whole talk.
“Most people, instead of disciplining themselves in the present to pay for their future, they steal from their future to pay for their present.”
Names the exact habit the can system is designed to break.
“Money is not in the habit of hanging around with people who don't manage it well.”
His one-line case for why management beats income.
“He who would do good to another must do it in minute particulars. General good is the plea of the scoundrel, the hypocrite, and the flatterer.”
The William Blake quote he ends on, applied to being detail-oriented with money.
“If you can't manage it when you have a little, you won't manage it better when you have a lot.”
Directly rebuts the idea that a raise will fix things.
What to do next
- 1
Open a separate bank account for each of the six cans.
So you can move money into the right place the moment direct deposit hits and manage it meticulously.
- 2
Work toward living on 50% of your take-home pay.
That's the objective allocation that leaves room for tithe, legacy, fun, savings and education.
- 3
If you can't hit the percentages, put 1% or $10 in each can.
Starting small builds the discipline, and discipline builds financial strength.
- 4
Spend every dollar in your fun can before the month ends.
That can inspires you to go figure out ways to make more money.
- 5
If you're an entrepreneur, put yourself on salary as a W-2 of your own business.
It saves you headache and heartache, and gives you a number to run the cans on.
