Have you heard of the 50-30-20 rule of budgeting?
If you are new to budgeting and saving, it can be helpful to remember and start with this simple technique. This method dedicates a percentage of your in-hand income to three different categories:
✨50% for Needs
This might include basic necessities such as paying rent, food and grocery expenses, and paying bills or mortgages.
✨30 for Wants
This includes occasional shopping sprees, fine dining, movies, etc.
✨20% for Savings
This amount is to be set apart as savings for the future and investments. This is the most important one and should be allotted 20% of post-tax income. This also enables easy access to emergency funds if a situation arises.
