How To Manage Your Money (70/20/10 Rule)

In this video, I present a high level overview on how to manage your money using the 70/20/10 Rule.

Money management is 90% discipline and 10% knowledge. The 70/20/10 rule will force you to create a budget and understand where every one of your after-tax dollars is going.

70% of your budget should be spent on needs which are things that are essential to life and that you literally cannot live without.

20% should be allocated to savings and investing.

10% should be used to pay off any remaining debt, then used as you wish once you're debt free.

I feel like a lot of people confuse wants for needs, and we know the difference deep down, but we really want the one that we don't have the self-discipline to say no to.

      I’m thinking about beginning my investment journey, but I feel a bit overwhelmed and uncertain. Do you have any friendly tips or suggestions for people I could reach out to for guidance?

    Marko rocks!

  • @fredrock_22 says:

    Thanks Marko! Where would you stick family travel in the breakdowns?

    • @WhiteBoardFinance says:

      In the 70%! Once all debt is paid off, you can dedicate the entire 10% slice to travel if you choose. For me, the two things I don’t sacrifice are food and travel.

    There’s that whiteboard! ❤

  • @puspabhat7238 says:

    Thank you for your video. I am planning to invest in Bitcoin from February 2025 to February 2035 every week, starting with $40 per week. I will also increase my investment amount by 15% annually. Could you make a video on this topic and share your suggestions? I’d like to know if Bitcoin is a better investment compared to other options.

    Great upload Marko. Needed that reminder for the start of the new year. Automation is key, no matter how you break down the numbers. Execute!

  • @tlazohtla says:

    Thanks for making a realistic budget video. I recently bought a house and I live in a high-cost-of-living area, so 70/20/10 is much more doable
