Understanding Disposable Income
What is Disposable Income?
Disposable income is money left after essential expenses. It's what you can spend on wants, savings, or investments.
The 50/30/20 Rule
A popular budgeting guideline: 50% for needs (essentials), 30% for wants (discretionary), and 20% for savings and debt repayment.
Housing Ratio
Financial experts recommend keeping housing costs below 30% of your income to maintain a healthy budget.
Improving Disposable Income
Options include: increasing income, reducing housing costs, eliminating debt, cutting subscriptions, or finding cheaper alternatives for essentials.
