If you want to manage your salary effortlessly and reach your financial goals, here’s something you should keep on reading..

What is this 50:30:20 budget rule?

It’s a simple guide to manage your hard-earned money every month and keep your finances in check by categorizing how you should allocate the income into needs, wants, and savings or debt. It was popularized by Senator Elizabeth Warren in her book, All Your Worth: The Ultimate Lifetime Money Plan.

  • 50% to needs: This includes expenses that you must keep in your budget no matter what; like utility bills, rent, transportation, healthcare, groceries etc.
  • 30% to wants: These are expenses that are not compulsory to live by; like dining out, trips, vacations, memberships, gifts, luxuries and other entertainment items.
  • 20% to savings or debt: Adding money to an emergency fund, investment or settling off any debt you may have, comes under this category.
