What’s the 50/30/20 budget rule?
This is a popular budgeting guide that helps you allocate your salary efficiently! With this rule, your budget will be clearly budgeted based on 3 main categories — needs (50%), wants (30%) and savings/investments (20%).
By using this rule, you’ll be able to:
✋ Stop being THAT broke friend who lives paycheck to paycheck
🕒 Start paying for essential expenses like rent and utilities ON TIME
🎯 Build financial security and hustle towards long-term financial goals
So when that sweet paycheck comes in, do…

✅ Pay yourself first: Self-love is the best love 💘 Be sure to pour some love for future you by setting money aside for your savings or investments to grow your wealth over time.
