The "50/30/20budget rule" was popularized by Senator Elizabeth Warren. It is one of the most used budgeting method.
It's simple.
The 50-30-20 rule works like this:
5️⃣0️⃣% of your income goes to things you must have/need to spend on
👉🏻rent, electricity, food, taxes
3️⃣0️⃣% goes to things you want to buy
👉🏻that new iPhone, shopping, eating out, relaxing and watching a movie
2️⃣0️⃣% goes to savings and investments
👉🏻bank savings, insurance, college funds, mutual funds
👩🏻💻How to use it?
1. Calculate your monthly income
2. Calculate a spending threshold for each category.
3. Plan your budget around these numbers.
🤔 Why it works?
Figuring out your finances is confusing and it’s often hard to know where to start. That’s why the 50/30/20 rule of thumb works so well. It’s an easy way to get a handle on something that can otherwise be intimidating such as budgeting.
