Ever feel like your money disappears faster than a magician’s trick? That was me until I discovered the 50/30/20 rule. It sounds complicated, but it’s really not. Here’s how it works: 50% of your income goes to needs (like rent and bills), 30% to wants (like snacks and fun), and 20% to savings and debt.
At first, I thought, “Okay, cool, but what about the pizza?” Turns out, it’s not about cutting out fun stuff, just making sure it doesn’t eat up all your money. I started by tracking every penny—yep, even the spare change I’d toss in the couch cushions. When I saw where my money was going, I realized I was blowing $200 a month on unnecessary things. So, I adjusted.
Now, I don’t feel guilty about buying things I love, because I know my budget has room for it. Plus, I’m saving and paying off debt like a pro! The 50/30/20 rule didn’t just help me manage my money—it gave me control. If you want to stop feeling broke, give it a try. Trust me, your wallet will thank you!
