50/30/20 rule, zero-based budgeting, and more
💡 The 50/30/20 Rule
• 50% for Needs — Housing, utilities, groceries, insurance, minimum debt payments. Things you must pay.
• 30% for Wants — Entertainment, dining out, hobbies, subscriptions. Nice to have, not essential.
• 20% for Savings & Debt — Emergency fund, retirement, extra debt payments. Your future self thanks you.
• The Golden Rule: Spend less than you earn. The gap between income and expenses is where wealth is built.
