BudgetSplit
The simplest budgeting framework — 50% needs, 30% wants, 20% savings.
Senator Elizabeth Warren popularized this framework in 'All Your Worth' (2005). It's intentionally simple: 50% for needs (rent, food, insurance, minimum debt payments), 30% for wants (dining out, entertainment, subscriptions), 20% for savings and extra debt payments.
In high-cost cities, housing alone can consume 40%+ of income, making 50% for all needs unrealistic. Adjust the ratios to your reality — even 60/20/20 or 70/20/10 is better than no budget at all. The point is conscious allocation, not rigid percentages.
