Your way out starts here
Budgeting Basics
A budget isn't a punishment — it's a plan that tells your money where to go before it disappears.
A simple starting frame: 50% to needs, 30% to wants, 20% to saving and paying down debt. Adjust to your life; the point is that every dollar has a job.
Give every dollar a job. Needs, wants, and future-you each get a slice.
