Frequently Asked Questions
Start by tracking your spending for one month to understand your habits. Then, categorize expenses into needs and wants. Allocate 50% for needs, 30% for wants, and 20% for savings using the 50/30/20 rule as a baseline.
Gross income is the total amount of money you earn before taxes and deductions. Net income is the amount of money you take home after taxes, social security, and other deductions have been taken out.
A common recommendation is to save at least 20% of your net income. However, any amount saved is beneficial. Start small if necessary and gradually increase your savings rate as your income grows or expenses decrease.
Generally, it is wise to start investing once you have paid off high-interest debt and established a small emergency fund. The earlier you start, the more you can benefit from compound interest.
