Study Notes

The 50/30/20 Rule

  • The 50/30/20 rule is a budgeting guideline that allocates 50% of net income towards needs, 30% towards wants, and 20% towards savings and debt repayment.

Needs (50%)

  • Needs include essential expenses that cannot be avoided, such as:
    • Groceries
    • Housing (mortgage or rent)
    • Insurance (health, life, etc.)
    • Utilities (electricity, water, etc.)
  • A need is defined as something that would greatly inconvenience you or is necessary for survival.

Wants (30%)

  • Wants include discretionary expenses that improve the quality of life, but are not essential, such as:
    • Shopping (clothing, accessories, etc.)
    • Dining out
    • Hobbies (gardening, video editing, etc.)
  • A want is defined as something that is not necessary for survival, but enhances the quality of life.

Savings and Debt Repayment (20%)

  • The 20% allocated towards savings and debt repayment should be used for:
    • Emergency fund (6-12 months' worth of living expenses)
    • Paying off debts (credit cards, student loans, etc.)
    • Retirement savings
  • This category is essential for long-term financial stability and security.
