Is the 60/30/10 Budget Right for You?

Have you heard of the 50/30/20 budgeting method? It’s a popular approach where you allocate 50% of your after-tax income for needs like rent or mortgage, 30% for wants such as dining out, and 20% for savings and debt repayment beyond the minimums. However, in an economy with high inflation, sticking to the 50% limit for needs can be challenging.

As inflation rises across various spending categories, the 60/30/10 budget may be a better fit for individuals who have to spend most of their income on non-negotiable needs or those with lower incomes. Under the 60/30/10 budget, you allocate 60% of your monthly take-home income for needs, 30% for wants, and 10% for savings.

Both the 50/30/20 and 60/30/10 budgets serve as starting points to guide your money allocation, but they are not strict rules due to individual financial situations. While the 60/30/10 budget provides more flexibility for essential needs in today’s economy, it may result in less savings allocation.

One potential drawback of the 60/30/10 budget is the reduced amount going towards savings, which can impact long-term financial goals. It’s essential to set short and long-term financial goals, track your spending, focus on areas for improvement, and use budgeting as a tool to empower your financial decisions.

By being mindful of your spending, you can prioritize expenses, adjust your budget as needed, and monitor your finances regularly. Consider implementing the 60/30/10 budget to better align your income with needs, wants, and savings while taking control of your financial future.
