Popularized by Senator Elizabeth Warren in "All Your Worth", the 50/30/20 rule is one of the simplest and most effective budgeting frameworks ever created.

50% — Needs

Non-negotiable bills: housing, food, insurance, minimum debt payments, transport.

30% — Wants

Lifestyle choices: dining out, hobbies, streaming, vacations, upgrades.

20% — Savings

Future you: SIPs, emergency fund, extra debt payments, retirement contributions.

💡 Pro Tip: If your Needs exceed 50%, look for ways to reduce fixed costs first (negotiate rent, switch insurance, refinance loans). Don't cut Savings to fund Wants.
