Hey guys,

I listen to a lot of speakers that talk about this but i was wondering how applicable it is to people who are still trying to build their career or business.

Does it make sense to save (follow the 70% / 20% / 10% rule from Richest Man In Babylon) while you're trying to build your business up? Or should you be putting all your money into your business?

Thanks
