Mastering the Basics:
Budgeting and Debt Strategy
The foundation of any strong financial plan: cash flow and debt management.
Knowing where your money is going each month is powerful. It gives you clarity, reduces stress, and helps you make intentional choices, whether you’re paying down debt, saving for a goal, or both.
Budget 101: Start with the 50/30/20 Rule
50% of your net salary (after taxes) should cover basic expenses such as mortgage/rent, transportation, food, cell phone payment, utilities
30% for discretionary spending such as buying clothes, dining out, charitable donations
20% for the future. Paying off debts, savings, investments, retirement planning and emergencies.
