📚 The 50/30/20 Budgeting Rule

The 50/30/20 rule is a simple and effective budgeting strategy. It divides your after-tax income into three main categories to help you balance your financial priorities.

• Needs (50%): Essential living expenses like housing, groceries, utilities, and insurance.
• Wants (30%): Discretionary spending for lifestyle choices such as dining out, hobbies, and entertainment.
• Savings (20%): Financial goals including retirement contributions, emergency funds, and paying off debt.
