text: To get and stay on this path, we've had to commit to making saving a priority and our personal finance community, Wealth Builders Academy, we talk a lot about the importance of knowing your minimum savings rate. It's the amount you need to every save month in order to retire when you want to with enough money to support the lifestyle you want to have indefinitely.
  So for us, our #1 financial goal is to make sure that we are hitting our minimum savings rate every single month. Everything else comes after that, including paying off debt and saving for college for our kids.
