❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 50/30/20 budget rule?

Popularized by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the 50/30/20 rule divides your after-tax income into 50% needs, 30% wants, and 20% savings and debt repayment.

How should I start if my needs exceed 50%?

If housing and groceries take up more than 50%, reduce the wants category temporarily while working to lower recurring fixed bills.
