Common Budgeting Methods

50/30/20

Great for those who are just starting out with their budgeting journey. It suggests splitting income into 3 categories – 50% to needs (like housing and groceries), 30% to wants (like entertainment and dining out), and 20% to financial goals (savings and debt repayment).

Pay Yourself First

Prioritizes savings by setting aside a portion of income into savings before spending on needs and wants. It focuses on building savings first and supports in achieving financial goals.

Zero Based Budgeting

The Zero-Based Budgeting method allocates every dollar of income into specific categories set including savings, dept repayment, groceries, etc. until income and expenses equal 0. This makes sure every bit of income has a purpose and provides more control over our finances.
