Budgeting Guide
50/30/20 Rule
Allocate 50% for needs, 30% for wants, and 20% for savings and debt repayment.
Emergency Fund Priority
Build an emergency fund of 3-6 months of expenses before focusing on other savings goals. Start with $1,000 as your initial target.
Housing Costs
Keep housing costs (rent/mortgage, utilities, insurance) below 30% of your gross income to maintain financial flexibility.
Track Regularly
Review and update your budget monthly. Track actual spending against your budget to identify areas for improvement.
Pay Yourself First
Automate savings transfers right after payday. Treat savings like a non-negotiable expense to build wealth consistently.
