Budgeting Questions: Saving More, Stressing Less
Begin by tracking your income and expenses for one month. From there, categorize spending into needs, wants, and savings to create a realistic plan.
It’s a simple budgeting method: 50% of income for needs, 30% for wants, and 20% for savings or debt repayment. It’s a good place to start.
Both work—apps automate tracking, while spreadsheets offer more customization. The best tool is the one you'll stick with.
Start small: set aside $10–$20 per paycheck. Focus on cutting one or two recurring expenses and building momentum over time.
Tackle high-interest debt while still setting aside a small emergency fund. Once debt is under control, you can focus more on savings.
Schedule a weekly “money date” to review your budget. Make it a habit, just like exercising or meal prepping, so it becomes part of your routine.
