There are many budgeting techniques that you can follow, but one of the most popular is the 50-30-20. Saving a few extra Peso a month What exactly is the 50-20-30 budget rule? According to Investopedia, it was popularized by U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren in her book, All Your Worth: The Ultimate Lifetime Money Plan. The basic rule of this money management technique is to divide your paycheck after taxes into three categories. So, here it goes: 50% of your income should go to essential needs. These are non-discretionary such as bills payment, rentals, groceries, transportation, medicine, etc. 20% of your income should go to savings and payments. This percentage of your income is for your savings accounts, retirement contributions, loans, credit card payments, etc. 30% of your income should go to your discretionary expenses or for everything else. These expenses are not essential to your survival, such as memberships, entertainment, designer clothing, subscriptions, etc. Budget = Spending Plan A budget isn't an exercise of deprivation but a tool to increase awareness of what's happening with your money. Budgets should evolve as goals are reached and desired change in lifestyle.
The right budget doesn't keep you from spending but tells you how to save and spend your money to maximize enjoyment.
