In the book “All Your Worth” by Harvard bankruptcy professor Elizabeth Warren, the recommendation is to arrange and balance your finances with 50/30/20.
50% for the must haves-shelter, food, transportation, utilities, child care, insurance and minimum loan payments.
30% for wants- entertainment, clothing, gifts and vacations.
20% for savings and debt payments.
Not a bad idea to start out 2010.
