Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 50/30/20 budget rule?
The 50/30/20 rule splits your after-tax income: 50% for needs (rent, food, utilities), 30% for wants (dining out, entertainment), and 20% for savings and debt repayment.
How do I budget effectively?
Start by tracking all spending for one month. Categorize into needs, wants, and savings. Use the 50/30/20 rule as a starting framework and adjust based on your goals. Automate savings transfers on payday.
