Common questions
What is a good monthly budget split?
A common starting point is 50% for needs, 30% for wants, and 20% for savings or debt repayment. Your real split can change with rent, family needs, income, and debt.
Should debt payments count as savings?
Minimum debt payments are usually fixed bills. Extra debt payments can be treated like future money because they improve your net worth over time.
How often should I update my budget?
Update it whenever income, rent, debt, or a major goal changes. A quick monthly review is enough for most people.
