The 50/30/20 (ish) rule 💸
A simple budgeting guide to help you manage your money without overcomplicating it!
💰50% on needs– rent or mortgage repayments, groceries, bills and insurance.
💰30% on wants– eating out, shopping, holidays and subscriptions.
💰20% on savings & debt– building your savings, investing or paying down debt.
This rule won’t work for everyone, and that’s okay! Your income, living expenses and financial commitments all play a role in what you can realistically allocate to each category.
If 50/30/20 fits your lifestyle and financial situation, it’s a great place to start. If it doesn’t, adjust the percentages to suit you. Your budget should work for your life, not the other way around. 🙌
The goal isn’t to follow a perfect formula. It’s to understand where your money is going and make it work for you.
