50/30/20 Method
A tried and true favorite for a reason. The 50/30/20 method takes the guess work out of budgeting by breaking your income into 3 easy buckets:
-
50% Needs - essentials like housing, groceries, transportation, and bills.
-
30% Wants - the fun stuff: dining out, travel, shopping, hobbies.
-
20% Savings/Investments - building financial security through emergency funds, retirement contributions, or other savings goals.
This method is perfect if you want a clear, balanced structure that still leaves room for both enjoyment and long-term planning.
