Budgeting Methods Explained
50/30/20 Rule
Allocate 50% to needs, 30% to wants, and 20% to savings and debt repayment. This simple rule works well for most people and provides a balanced approach to budgeting.
Zero-Based Budget
Every dollar is assigned a purpose before the month begins. Income minus expenses should equal zero, ensuring every dollar is accounted for and working toward your goals.
Envelope Method
Allocate cash to different spending categories (envelopes). When an envelope is empty, you're done spending in that category for the month. Great for controlling discretionary spending.
