โ Income - Expenses = Savings
โ
Income - Needs - Savings = Expenses
Income: (How much money is coming in?)
Expenses: (How much money is going out?)
Net Income: (How much available?)
Savings: (How much do I want to save?)
Wants: (How much should I spend?)
If you are starting, spend at most 80% of your income and save at least 20% to the point that you can no longer spend the 80%. If you can only spend 65%, then save 35% of it.
The goal of personal finance is to make you save at least 50% of your income. ๐๐
